Takuya begins the series as a typical "goggle boy", (only he wears a hat underneath his gray and square goggles)—energetic and athletic, but tending to act without thinking and very stubborn. He has a strong sense of justice, and tries to use his power to do what he believes is right.His Spirit Evolutions are as follows:
Rookie: Flamemon, a small humanoid with goat-like features and red hair. He temporarily becomes this form for an episode in the Real World
Human Hybrid: Agunimon (Agnimon),a demon man digimon. He resembles a human wearing dragon armor that is reminiscent of Greymon
Beast Hybrid: BurningGreymon (Vritramon), A demon dragon digimon. A vaguely humanoid dragon with an Arm Cannon on each wrist
Advance Hybrid: Aldamon, a demon man digimon. Basically, Agunimon's head and hands on BurningGreymon's body.
Zeta Hybrid: EmperorGreymon (KaiserGreymon), A dragon warrior digimon. More or less a heavily armored WarGreymon with a huge sword that doubles as a crossbow.
Expy: His actions, personality, goggles and role are of the Tai trademark. He even has a very similar character arc:
Starts out as a hotheaded Idiot Hero, he then has a close brush with death and learns to think, becoming an effective leader in the process.
Likewise, some of his evolutions are expies of Greymon and his evolutions. Vritramon was renamed BurningGreymon in the dub to drive home the reference.
Idiot Hero: A stunning demonstration of this was the way he handled Duskmon's first and second appearances. Koji nearly freaked out about it. His Character Development does away with this trope
Heroic BSOD: After his stunning loss against Duskmon, Takuya enters one. It takes a reminder of his origins for him to snap out of it.
He's Back: When he recovers from his Heroic BSOD and returns to the Digital World.
Hey, It's That Voice!: Michael Reisz previously voiced Matt in Adventure. You have to listen closely to hear it, but it's definitely there. In the Japanese, he plays Hokutomaru.
Not a Game: Takuya eventually realizes that he must put more effort into his responsibilities as a legendary warrior, and make a greater effort to safeguard the lives of his friends.
The Other Darrin: In the Frontier movie dub, he's voiced by Dave Wittenberg, although he pretty much sounds nearly identical to Michael Reisz
Koji starts the series as the group loner - a kid who wanted friends, but never had the chance to make any because he had to change schools too many times. He showed up to help the other Digi Destined from time to time, and then eventually joins the group permanently. He often distances himself from the others, refusing to let anyone get too close to him.His Spirit Evolutions are as follows:
Human Hybrid: Lobomon(Wolfmon),a warrior digimon. His appearance is that of a human wearing wolf themed armor that vaguely resembles Garurumon
Beast Hybrid: KendoGarurumon (Garmmon), A cyborg digimon. A robotic wolf with wings and roller skates. Strongly resembles MetalGarurumon
Advance Hybrid: Beowulfmon, a warrior digimon. Basically, Lobomon wearing parts of KendoGarurumon as armor and weapons.
Zeta Hybrid: MagnaGarurumon, A cyborg digimon. A humanoid wolf wearing heavy armor and artillery
Likewise, some of his evolutions are expies of Garurumon and his evolutions. Garmmon was renamed KendoGarurumon in the dub to drive home the reference.
"I won't act like someone I'm not just so I can be popular."
Zoe is very kind and while she fights, she does it to protect others and herself. As Ranamon put it, she's usually too nice to kill an enemy.Her spirit evolutions are as follows:
Human Hybrid: Kazemon(Fairymon),a fairy digimon. She is an attractive girl wearing purple armor with butterfly wings
Beast Hybrid: Zephyrmon(Shutumon), A bird-man digimon. Resembles a more mature looking Kazemon with more feral armor and large bird wings as well as an odd bird wing shaped haircut.
Cute Monster Girl: Her "Beast" Spirit is much more human looking than any of the guys. And...really, really cute.Lamp Shaded; this really pisses of Calmarimon. In fact, all of her forms could count
Coy Girlish Flirt Pose: Combined with an animated version of Say It with Hearts, to try and get help from a Trailmon, of all things. It works. Takuya sweatdrops, while JP is in love.
Expy: Has traits of Sora and Mimi from the first series.
Fanservice: Gotta love a girl who can envision herself modeling skimpy bathing suits and win an eating contest all in the span of three or four episodes, not to mention the skimpy outfits of her Digimon forms.
Sexy Dynamite!
Faux Action Girl: Even compared to other examples of this trope, it's ridiculous. Kazemon is probably the only main character Digimon in the series to lose after evolving for the first time. Zephyrmon averts this.
Fridge Brilliance-That may be an in-universe reason for her using her Beast Spirit more than the others. Zephyrmon took out her first opponent with one hit and no "must control the beast spirit's power" time.
Zettai Ryouiki: All of her forms have this to some degree.
Tommy Himi (Himi Tomoki)
Tommy is the youngest member of the group. He is always genuine in his feelings and looks up to Takuya Kanbara as his hero. As the series progresses, Tommy learns to stand up for himself, even fighting his own battles.His spirit evolutions are as follows:
Human Hybrid: Kumamon(Chakkumon),a beast man digimon. A humanoid polar bear with green armor and a snowball cannon
Beast Hybrid: Korikkakumon(Blizzarmon), A beast digimon. Resembles a large white yeti with spear-tipped dread-locks and two huge axes
Pintsized Powerhouse: Kumamon is the smallest of the Human Spirits, but still fights well for his size. His Beast Spirit, on the other hand, isn't small (Zoe's is).
The Smart Guy: He's probably the most rational member of the team and less prone to make stupid mistakes.
At the start of the series, J.P. shows some jealousy towards Takuya Kanbara, the main character of this series for being Tommy Himi's hero and being able to combine both of his Digimon forms into a more powerful form. He also shows feelings for Zoe Orimoto, the only female of the group. J.P. also seems to have a hidden fear of being alone - despite being constantly surrounded by people when he was in the real world, he felt that he had never really been anyone's real friend.His spirit evolutions are as follows:
Human Hybrid: Beetlemon(Blitzmon),a cyborg digimon. a large humanoid beetle with electric powers
Beast Hybrid: MetalKabuterimon(Bolgmon), A cyborg digimon. A cross between a beetle-shaped mech and an army tank.
Throw the Dog a Bone: In a possible attempt to make J.P. look more mature in the eyes of his companions, Zoe in particular, Latin American dubs often implied that Zoe was starting to like J.P. She even mentions a possibility to let him take her on a date someday; while in the original Japanese script Zoe just goes up to respect J.P., it never goes past that.
Koichi Kimura (Kimura Kouichi)
His spirit evolutions are as follows:
Human Hybrid: Lowemon'', a warrior digimon. He resembles a Large man wearing lion-themed black armor.
Beast Hybrid: JagerLowemon (KaiserLeomon), A cyborg digimon. A robotic black lion that vaguely resembles SaberLeomon.
Corrupted Human Hybrid Duskmon, a demon man digimon. Resembles a large man wearing vaguely draconic skeletal armor covered in eyes.
Corrupted Beast Hybrid Velgemon (Velgmon), a giant bird digimon. A giant monstrous bird with draconic features and a third eye
Badass: Lowemon. Lets put it this way, he's basically stronger than either of the Chosen Children's Advance Hybrids, and thats only the human spirit...
Badass Boast: As Lowemon when he defeats 2 Phantomon. “Confused evil souls be buried in darkness and sleep. Let the shadows purify you. Fractal code, digitize!”
Earn Your Happy Ending: He was hospitalized/fell into a coma-like state after chasing after Koji on the day everyone first went to the digital world due to falling down a flight of stairs. Thus, he was a purely digital spirit himself the entire time he was with them. Once the final battle is over, the other chosen children return to the real world and rush to where Koichi is being kept. In a true Crowning Moment of Heartwarming moment Koji is able to revive and reunite with his brotherwiththe others' help.
Even Evil Has Standards: During his time as Duskmon, he calls Mercuremon out on the latter's plan to betray Cherubimon and keep Seraphimon's data for himself, as well as his sitting back while having the remaining villains do the work.
The Sacred Darkness: Probably one of the best examples of the trope there is, even being able to provide an example for the "corrupt" and the "pure" form of darkness.
Theme Twin Naming: Koichi and Koji, or "first child," and "second child" respectively.
Villain Song: Duskmon is the only villain to get a song this season. Likely because he becomes a much more important character as the series progresses.
One of the three Great Angels of the Digital World. After Seraphimon is killed by Mercurymon, he is turned into an egg which later hatches into Patamon.
The Worf Effect: Gets his ass curbed by Mercurymon fairly early in the game to hype Mercurymon up.
Ophanimon
One of the three great angels of the Digital World. She starts out the whole adventure, and a good portion of the first half of the series is spent finding her. She is killed by kerpymon but reincarnates as Salamon late in the series.
One of the Three Great Angels of the Digital World. In times passed, he was a good digimon that helped keep the peace. But now he is a corrupted monster that will stop at nothing to take over the entire digital world. Late in the series, he's revived as Lopmon.
Disc One Final Boss: He's set up as the Big Bad for over half of the series, but upon his defeat its revealed that he was the (possibly unwilling) minion of Lucemon.
An angel digimon that once came down to the Digital World to bring peace to it due to a war between the beast and human type digimon. He eventually grew proud and fell off the narrow path and became a great evil that the Ten Legendary Warriors sealed away. He is eventually released by the Royal Knights and becomes the final boss of the show, so to speak.His forms are as follows
Rookie: Lucemon, his default form. A small cute looking boy with 12 angel wings
Ultimate: Chaos Mode (Falldown Mode), An adult Lucemon with dark armor and half of his wings have taken on a demonic look
Mega: Shadowlord Mode (Satan mode), A giant demonic dragon that holds the Gehenna (hell) sphere in its hands
Mega: Lucemon Larva , resembles a cross between a larva, a cocoon, and an embryo with twelve golden wings
Satan: His three forms represent three versions of him: His normal form is Satan's original angel form, his Falldown mode is Satan after falling, and his Satan Mode is as the Dragon of Revelation
Smug Snake: Particularly in his Child form, the only emotion he usually shows is condescending, cold disdain towards everyone else.
Super Strength: Almost all digimon have some degree of this, but Lucemon takes this Up to Eleven. His Falldown mode was able to destroy three moons by piledriving two digimon into one of them.
Utopia Justifies the Means: Has this opinion of his view of the digital world and in the finale attempts to take over the human world.
Villainous Breakdown: Both time he finds himself out-matched by Susanoomon, especially the second time.
A small, ugly gnome like creature. He was the first of the evil Warriors the children meet and also the first to fall. He represents earth and stoneHis two evolutions are as follows:
Human Hybrid: Grumblemon(Grottomon), an ogre digimon. His default form
Beast Hybrid: Gigasmon , A mineral digimon. He's supposed to be a certain type of mythological giant called a Gigas
A cute, mermaid-like digimon. She was one of the evil Legendary Warriors that the Chosen Children faced. She devloped an intense hatred of Zoe, borne out of jealousy. She represents waterHer two evolutions are as follows:
Human Hybrid: Ranamon , a fairy digimon. Her default form
Beast Hybrid: Calmaramon , An aquatic digimon. An ugly woman sprouting out of an upside down squid.
An odd looking humanoid digimon with a mirror for a face and similar mirrors for wrist guards. He was ostensibly the leader of the evil Legendary Warriors, and he was certainly the most effective (outside of Duskmon). He seemed to hold a minor grudge against Takuya, but not to the extent that Ranamon held for Zoe. He supposedly represents steel, but that is a clear case of In Name Only, as most of his attacks involve mirrors.His three evolutions are as follows:
Human Hybrid: Mercurymon (Mercuremon), a mutant digimon. His default form
Beast Hybrid: Sakkakumon (Sephirotmon) , a mutant digimon. A weird looking creature that resembles a living sephirot. Inside each of his spheres exists a different elemental based dimension
Mega ShadowSeraphimon (BlackSeraphimon), a fallen angel digimon. A demonic Seraphimon.
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: He largely sat back and let Grumblemon, Ranamon and Arbormon do most of the grunt work - Duskmon calls him out on it in one episode - and was planning to betray his master and keep Seraphimon's data to himself. He even manipulates Ranamon as part of his Xanatos Gambit, not caring whether she survived or not.
Smug Snake: He's ultimately not as big a threat as he thinks he is.
The Starscream: He kept Seraphimon's fractal code to himself, hoping to exploit its celestial power. But since Cherubimon noticed this, and let him keep it anyway, it is unlikely he would have posed much of a threat even if he hadn't been beaten by Aldamon.
Xanatos Gambit: His plan as Sephirotmon was to trap the Digidestined force to fight against a series of enemies while he copied every attack used, and gained immunity to them, so it didn't matter to him whether he won or lost. It goes wrong when they start mixing attacks and throwing them at him, which he had never seen.
Villainous Breakdown: Has one as Sephirotmon after he finds the Digidestined combined attacks can hurt him, and makes some vain attempts at boasting that he'll still win despite being scarred stiff.
Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: This was added in the dub; for example, he addresses others as "thee" and "thou", and refers to Ranamon as "m'lady".
Arbormon
A wooden cyborg digimon. He was one of the Evil Legendary Warriors that fought the Chosen Children. For a time he gave the children trouble with his beast spirit, but was eventually brought down via teamwork and destroyed by Duskmon. He represents wood.
His two evolutions are as follows:
Human Hybrid: Arbormon, a cyborg digimon. His default form
Beast Hybrid: Petaldramon , A plant digimon. A large living plant that resembles a dragon.
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Arbormon does this a lot at random moments. One moment, he's plotting to kill the warriors, and the next moment, he's reminding the little kids watching the show to brush their teeth before going to bed.
The Brute: Takes over as this after Grumblemon is defeated.
An effiment Holy Knight digimon. Crusadermon was one of the two Royal Knights that were hired by Lucemon to destroy all of the digital world. Crusadermon was often matched off in a fight with MagnaGarurumon, and was the first of the two knights to start having trouble, being the weaker of the two.
Spell My Name with an S: The character's Japanese name is the source of confusion, as the katakana characters can be read as either Lord Knightmon or Rhodo Knightmon - rhodonite being the color of the character's armor. In the subsequent Savers dub, the character's name was dubbed to Load Knightmon.
Dynasmon
Dynasmon is a draconic Holy Knight Digimon. He was one of the two Royal Knights hired by Lucemon to gather all of the digital world's data. He usually squared off against EmperorGreymon, and being by far the stronger of the two knights, was the last to start having trouble with the Chosen Children. He was also the most devoted to Lucemon's cause. He is thematically based off of the Wyvern.
Voiced by: Kenta Miyake (JP), Derek Stephen Prince (EN)
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Decides to use Breath of Wyvern against the Heroes, even though they were pretty much defeated. Crusadermon even started freaking out and the Heroes were blasted to the moon.
