History Characters / DigimonAdventure02

* FearlessFool: Rather than courageous Daisuke is more fearless as he doesn't ever show any fear, despite being a NaïveNewcomer and put in situations where FearIsTheAppropriateResponse, like Taichi, unlike Taichi though he never grows out of it.

** The lighting of that scene (combined with the fact that he was returning from the Digital World after having just been infected by the Dark Spore) might imply that Ken's perspective of what was going on (or his recollection of it) were a bit skewed.

* ChangingOfTheGuard: The series makes a point to contrast the new digidestined on the field from the old who now mostly act as mentors, and highlights TK and Kari's maturation from {{TagalongKid}}s on the original team to core members of the current group.

*

* ZettaiRyouiki

* BigBrotherBully: Osamu. He found Ken playing with the Digivice that he thought was his, and ''exploded'' at him. Much of it was Osamu snapping under pressure to succeed. On the whole, though, Osamu was a good big brother.

* DudeMagnet: Davis, Wallace, all three the Poi Brothers, and certainly [[EldritchAbomination Dagomon.]]

* BaldOfEvil
* {{Bowdlerized}}: In the dub, his servants wanted Kari to help them defeat him, while in the original they wanted Kari to ''mate'' with him, or mate with her themselves.
* ChainedByFashion
* CombatTentacles

* FangsAreEvil

* GoodWingsEvilWings: A pair of orange, bat-like wings.

* TheMaster
* MonsterOfTheWeek

* RedEyesTakeWarning

* SpikesOfVillainy

* UltimateEvil
* TheUnseen: Only seen in shadows and mist near the end of episode 13, and is only referenced to afterwords, rather then shown.

* WildCard
* WingedHumanoid

* CharacterDevelopment

* DubNameChange: From Wallace to Willis. Mystifyingly, as Wallace is already an English name and he's from America.

** Is one of the major opponent tamers in ''VideoGame/DigimonAdventure02D1Tamers'', which occurs before the series proper. Chew on that, [[ContinuitySnarl Continuity]].
** When ''Hurricane Touchdown'' was absorbed into ''Anime/DigimonTheMovie'', Willis ended up absorbing the InfoDump roles of two of Izzyu's foreign friends. [[spoiler:He also managed to create the Digimon that became Diaboromon when its egg was infected by a virus]].

* [[SapientCetaceans Sapient Cetacean]]: Submarimon resembles a narwhal and is officially a "Sea Animal" Digimon.

* SapientCetacean: Submarimon resembles a narwhal and is officially a "Sea Animal" Digimon.

* CompressedVice: Davis gets a whammy in Episode 11. With everyone deciding to attack a {{Brainwashed}} MetalGreymon, Davis is suddenly afraid of hurting him, though he's never objected to attacking controlled Digimon before; he gets so upset about it that he ends up fighting with TK. He's also gripped by a sudden indecision and hesitation to sacrifice himself for his friends, nevermind how he was demanding the Emperor feed ''him'' to Deltamon instead of his friends, in an earlier episode. This is all in the service of Davis having some silly ''revelation'' that allows him to activate the Digimental of Friendship.

* UndyingLoyalty: To where Ken didn't put a ring on him at the time when he was the Kaiser. He was only loyal to Ken, not the Kaiser, and promptly knocks him off of Devidramon.

->Voiced by: Creator/RomiPark (Japanese)

* AffablyEvil: His servants weren't unpleasant sorts, seeking to grant Kari the position of their queen, which [[BlueAndOrangeMorality in their mindsets was considerably more important than it was to Kari.]] One of them even manages a mild joke. When its made clear that Angewomon would have none of that, they drop the matter, retreating into the Dark Ocean.
* BadBoss: In the dub, his followers want Kari to help overthrow him and become Queen in his place.

* DudeMagnet: Davis, Wallace, all three the Poi Brothers, and certainly [[EldritchAbomination Dagonmon.]]

* DependingOnTheWriter: Is he resentful of those who try to toy with the darkness without knowing what it entails (episode 19), those who try to take over the world or do other evil deeds with the power of darkness (episode 34), or those who create artificial life with the power of darkness (episode 35)? Is he out to destroy anything that's made with the power of darkness (episode 34) or does he believe that all life is precious and important (episode 35)? The only thing anyone can agree on is that Angemon's death in ''[[DigimonAdventure Adventure]]'' did a number on him.

* '''Kimeramon''' and '''Machinedramon:''' The two Digimon (a HybridMonster and a MixAndMatchMan, respectively) whose fusion created him. Their origins are unknown although {{Fanon}} states the Machinedramon was the famous one from DigimonAdventure..

* StaticCharacter: According to WordOfGod, Daisuke was made this way in order to be a foil of Ken, and the writers were barred from developing his character and so kept him out of situations that would force his development. Averted in the ''Manga/{{Digimon V-Tamer 01}}'' manga.

* {{Expy}}: of [[{{Manga/DigimonV-Tamer01}} Veedramon]]

* {{Expy}}: Of the Daemon from ''{{Manga/Digimon V-Tamer 01}}''.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Is one of the major opponent tamers in [[DigimonWonderswanSeries D-1 Tamers]], which occurs before the series proper. Chew on that, [[ContinuitySnarl Continuity]].
** When ''Hurricane Touchdown'' was absorbed into ''Digimon TheMovie'', Willis ended up absorbing the InfoDump roles of two of Izzyu's foreign friends. [[spoiler:He also managed to create the Digimon that became Diaboromon when its egg was infected by a virus]].

* DudeMagnet: Davis, all three the Poi Brothers, and certainly [[EldritchAbomination Dagonmon.]]

* AdvertisedExtra: He's part of the core team this time, rather than being the TagalongKid, but probably receives the least amount of development. Even his would be character development for Jogress Evolution is far more about Iori than both of them. The writers seemed at least interested in making him the Yamato to Daisuke's Taichi before giving that role to Ken demoting Takeru even further to background player.
