History Characters / DigimonVTamer01

* TheHero: Like it needed to be said.

* [[spoiler:GameplayAndStoryIntegration[=/=]EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Taking more cues from the early pets than any future adaptations to follow it, [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=] are not the powerhouses later fans know them as but are noted to be pretty weak. Omegamon is a very strong Mega, one of if not ''the'' best actually available, but not quite as strong as ''Our War Game'' would imply. Later V-Pets would bump all three monsters up to levels resembling those seen in ''Digimon Adventure''.]]

* NonMammalianHair: Warg

** NobleWolf: Melga qualifies by extension.

** [[spoiler:TheSmartGuy: After his HeelFaceTurn, he starts playing this to Taichi.]]

* [[spoiler:ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice[=/=]HoistByHisOwnPetard: His tactic his turned on him due to Taichi's misdirection.]]
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: See Sigma's spoiler tagged tropes]]

* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: '''''TRUMP SWORD!'''''

->''"[[AHeroToHisHometown Looks like the hero of the Digimon world isn't recognized here.]]"''

** [[spoiler: LovableAlphaBitch: Post HeelFaceTurn she remains merciless tease but will also attempt to mercilessly beat those who insult her friends.]]

* ObfuscatingStupidity: And niceness, Mari is cunning and cruel.
* SayItWithHearts: Up until Neo hits a nerve

** [[spoiler: By Arkadimon]]

** TerribleArtist: Borderline stick figures.

* LogicalFallacies: AppealToAuthority[[spoiler: he admits to it and apologizes when said authority renounces him. He always knew Neo's plan to destroy the Digimon World was immoral, no matter how nicely Neo would remake it.]]
* {{Zipperiffic}}: Not a single one is placed practically.

* '''Vamdemon''': A perfect level monster resembling masked blonde man who fancies himself an aristocrat and lives in a castle overshadowing a ruined village.

* ComplexityAddiction: His early setbacks can be blamed on this, from the start Gabo mutters that Neo could have halted their progress without ever needing to confront or fight them and even though he is very successful he is ultimately undone by his own complicated scenarios.

* DisneyVillainDeath: Teased but it doesn't happen.

** DragonAscendant: [[spoiler: Subverted.]]
** NominalHero: [[spoiler: By the end.]]

* {{Egopolis}}: He wants one

* EvilCounterpart: Is everything Tai is not, a sadistic bully and a tyrant who callously uses and abuses those around him. His partners are mirrors to Zeromaru's growth---Compare Deathmon's appearance to [=AeroVeedramon=] and Arkadimon's line to [=UlforceVeedramon=]'s. The parallels are striking.

* {{Irony}}: Nicer people just assume Zero is a glitch, but [[Manga/CMonDigimon Shinichiro Josaki]] accuses Taichi of cheating by making a new monster. Not only because [[{{Hypocrite}} Shinichiro did that himself]] but also because it's Neo's modus operandi.

* BigEater: Yeah, half of its attacks involve eating anything and anyone.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:That appetite of his does him in, as do Neo's plans to make him stronger. Devouring Daemon allows him to eat Arkadimon from the inside out.]]

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Its best known scene involves this.

* {{Mutants}}: Like Demon, no other source refers to it as such, despite having been identified as one when it debuted here.

* OlympusMons: Prior to Neo naming it, it is simply known as [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep the Super ultimate]] (even though it technically is not at that level until the end.)

* PintsizedPowerhouse: until later. It's child form is slightly larger than average but still smaller than the adults while it's adult form is a little smaller than average. Perfect onward it is huge.
* PowerGivesYouWings: And takes away any chance you thought you had of killing it.
** GiantFlyer

* AttackItsWeakpoint: As a Greymon, [[MythologyGag it was the back of his head]]. Whether or not [=MetalGreymon=] shares the weakness or not is unknown but Neo, who otherwise wants to be through with this monster as soon as possible, is careful to leave that space protected.

** '''''RODEO BULLET!'''''

* MakeWayForTheNewVillains: He was supposed to demonstrate the potential of a bunch of new monsters known as the Genome Digimon, but not many got designed before the guys working on the comic decided they didn't have enough time.
* NaturalWeapon: His claws, '''''DEEP FOREST!''''', although bear claws are usually relatively dull, being used more for climbing and digging than rending flesh, making Callismon an aberation

* BreathWeapon:[[spoiler: '''''Algol's flame!''''']]
* CastingAShadow: [[spoiler:'''''Dark Spreader!''''']]
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: [[spoiler: He needs the intervention of at least four human parties to ascend beyond the natural limits of monsters without losing his mind in the process, as well as to safely access the human world in the process. And the form he takes upon doing so is [[BishonenLine much more humanoid]] than what he managed to accomplish without their help. Yet he's convinced humans must be killed on principal because [[TheFundamentalist their continued existence clashes with his world view]]. Moreover, his human extermination plan requires the dismantling of monster society on a continental scale and a deathtoll that has residents of said continent fearing for the continued existence of monsters period.]]

* EvilCounterpart: Demon's a kind of ShadowArchetype to [=LordHolyAngemon=], being just as powerful but opting to use his power to intimidate rather than hold back for the sake of his subjects.

* RubberMan: [[spoiler:In Super Ultimate form. Zeromaru would have been done it quick if Taichi hadn't caught on.]]

** HornedHumanoid

* TheVirus: His manipulations are referred to as the "dark virus" in a metaphorical way.

* EvilCounterpart: To Leo, the general on the other side of the Folder war. While Leo doesn't care about the long term consequences for humans if Demon wins, he does care about the immediate consequences for the Folder continent and the slightly less long term ones for the Digimon World at large.

* EvolutionaryLevels: Our first demonstration of their importance.

* GroinAttack: [[spoiler:{{Inverted| trope}}: He actually has attacks that come from his groin region...they are still safe for work since this is a toy series first and foremost but still.]]

* MindControlEyes: '''''Nightmare Wave'''''

* NoOntologicalInertia: The affects of Nightraid and Nightmare Wave weaken when he is weakened, which turns out to be consistently applied to later monsters
* NotQuiteDead: Because you probably can't survive an arrow to the head [[spoiler:but Vamdemon's head is a decoy.]]

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: He seems to be a stronger version of the ghost looking Digimon, Bakemon, and is a possible example of what happens when a Digimon is not properly deleted.
* PoisonousPerson: Well, venomous. His Bakumon servants are venomous too, according to Taichi. It is the same type of venom, so once immunity is gained to them, Lord Vamde is out of luck, despite delivering a stronger dosage.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Or so he thinks.

* {{Jerkass}}: Even Leo seems to think so. He even asks Lord [=HolyAngemon=] if Gekovitch needs to be reigned in once.

* DeterminedDefeatist: He does not actually think he can turn around the war against Demon, he says this anyway but you would not believes he thinks so based on his actions.

* UsefulNotes/GreenIsBlue:Dominimon is coloured green sometimes.

* InTheBack: [[spoiler:Attempted in Dominimon form to save Warg and Melga]]

** LightIsGood: Well, he represents light in Neo's reckoning and his cause is as good as any.

* TheWorfEffect: As with the ''Digimon'' tradition, Seraphimon.

* CoolOldGuy: He is pretty cheerful for a guy who has been helplessly watching his continent be swallowed up by war against the seemingly unstoppable armies of a madman.

* LargeAndInCharge: The largest monster in opposition to Lord Demon [[spoiler:until he dies]] and has servants, though only Gon remains out of sheer stubbornness by the time they appear on panel.

* PlotDevice: He hands out the "support program" necessary for Taichi to advance.
* SapientCetaceans: A whale who is a programming expert. Okay, he just looks like a whale to humans because that's the easiest form people except him as, but still.

%%* FearlessFool: That's how his neighbors viewed him.

* UseYourHead: And it works on a monster two levels above his own! Not well, but still.

* BigBrotherWorship: Not anymore but in the back story

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: She thought she acted as this to Neo but didn't get through.
* TheLoad: Accused of being by Gabo, initially. He later decides she's not so bad.
* MistakenForSpies: Lord [=HolyAngemon=]'s forces are usually suspicious of her.
* NotDisabledInVR: She lost the use of her legs after an accident, but when she comes to the Digital World she can walk again, though she still can't feel anything through her legs somehow.

* EpicFlail: Painful enough to hurt monsters a level higher than himself, [[ScratchDamage but not enough to do significant damage]].

* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: [[spoiler:To Zero,]] despite being at a lower level it works.
* IOweYouMyLife: To Gabo

* StealthExpert: Not perfect, as Mari and Rosemon do eventually root him out, but Etemonkey and Neo never catch onto him.

* CheerfulChild: Pul, Pal can get moody

* HostageForMacGuffin: Pal's plans for getting Neo's autograph for Pul before she becomes convinced Neo's too crazy for it to work.
* HugeRiderTinyMount: For Rei, though it takes them a great effort to do so.
* PluckyComicRelief: Though they do somethings to move the plot forward and help other characters to a degree, they mostly show up for gags.

* WingedHumanoid: And they can fly, despite how tiny those wings are. Fly quickly in a pinch.

* VitriolicBestBuds: One of the main differences between V-Tamer Taichi and Adventure Taichi is that V-Tamer Taichi and his partner Zero frequently bicker with each other despite clearly being close friends. The two will even get into a brief scuffle with each other occasionally, but their friendship holds strong regardless of their vitriolic shenanigans.

* '''[=UlforceV-dramon=]''', his Ultimate form. A holy dragon knight dressed in Blue Digizoid armor, with a LaserBlade equipped to his right gauntlet.

* BerserkButton: Initially it was being insulted. Later it becomes anything he perceives as being malicious against Taichi.

* [[spoiler:BladeBelowTheShoulder: '''''Ulforce Sabre!''''']]

* BreathWeapon
** '''''V-BREATH ARROW!'''''

* [[spoiler:EleventhHourSuperpower: Future Mode.]]
* [[spoiler:EndangeredSpecies: Zero is a phantom dragon type, one of the last extant ancient type Digimon]]

* GrievousHarmWithABody: '''''HAMMER ATTACK!'''''

** '''''DRAGON IMPULSE!'''''

* MyHeroZero: And alone he likely would have been a zero, but together with Taichi he gained a 100% winning streak.

* ScaryTeeth: [=AeroV-dramon=] only

* UndyingLoyalty: But not initially

* DeadpanSnarker: From the start but more so as time goes on. He starts out more frantic than deadpan.

** TheWatson: Yes, he is both of these for Taichi, explaining and being explained too. Gabo knows the cultures and landscapes but Taichi's more learned in the maths, sciences and athletics.
* PlayingWithFire: '''''PETIT FIRE!'''''

* TakenForGranite: Only partially by a Cocaktrimon.

* BadassCape: As Regulumon.

* ElementalPunch: '''''ICE BEAST FIST!'''''

* LargeAndInCharge: Regulumon. ''Dear god, '''Regulumon'''.'' Downplayed in that he still serves Lord Holy Angemon but the transformation makes Leo larger than all of the troops he does command.

* SacrificialLion: For [[RunningGag the only time]] in the franchise's history, '''''[[AvertedTrope averted]]'''''!

* WouldHurtAChild: But only when he thinks it is necessary (see Drill Sargent Nasty above), he actually does not like harming children and is abhorred at the sight of someone who enjoys it.

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: A mutant computer virus demon.
** JustForPun, a meta-example. This incarnation of Daemon decides to discard the BlackCloak sported by his multiversal brethren. To make-up for it, [[spoiler: he's the only one who gets to [[SuperMode kick it up a notch]].]]

* BigBad: The opposing force to Lords Whamon and [=HolyAngemon=]

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: He needs the intervention of at least four human parties to ascend beyond the natural limits of monsters without losing his mind in the process, as well as to safely access the human world in the process. And the form he takes upon doing so is [[BishonenLine much more humanoid]] than what he managed to accomplish without their help. Yet he's convinced humans must be killed on principal because [[TheFundamentalist their continued existence clashes with his world view]]. Moreover his human extermination plan requires the dismantling of monster society on a continental scale and a deathtoll that has residents of said continent fearing for the continued existence of monsters period.

* EvilCounterpart
** Demon's a kind of ShadowArchetype to [=LordHolyAngemon=], being just as powerful but opting to use his power to intimidate rather than hold back for the sake of his subjects.

* OurDemonsAreDifferent
** A mutant computer virus demon.

* SpikesOfVillainy
** Even his hair is spiky.
** HornedHumanoid: He never makes use of them either, so it is probably just to make him look more evil or something.

* BigEater
** Yeah, half of its attacks involve eating anything and anyone.

* EvilCounterpart: To Zero. It follows a similar path of evolution, but much more quickly and to a much more drastic degree. While Zero is ultimately running on the greater good and defense of the world Arkadimon only cares about pleasing Neo and is otherwise a ravenous eater of all Neo allows it to consume.

* HyperactiveMetabolism: Yeah, like a video game protagonist but to a visibly regenerative degree

* InTheBack:[[spoiler:stopping all of Leo's momentum]].

* LifeDrain: Data drain, exile spear and dystopia lances are named in the comic but others are used to be named later: soul absorption and prison fist.
* LightningBruiser: hit a level earlier than Zero.

* PowerGivesYouWings
** And takes away any chance you thought you had of killing it.
** GiantFlyer: Where it is going toward.

* BadassCape: Omegamon, which even serves him in combat
* {{Cyborg}}: Melga is a cyborg wolf

* GlowingEyesOfDoom: He can freeze Digimon champion level and below in their tracks with just a gaze
* HopeSpringsEternal: Neo refuses to believe them despite the evidence[[spoiler:them managing to move despite being drained of energy by feeding on the hope of their allies and turning that into energy]].

* MusclesAreMeaningless: Those skinny arms and legs are strong

* ThePaladin
** In reputation but the personality is not too far off either
** NobleWolf: Melga qualifies by extension
* RetractableWeapon: Two of them in its arms
* SelfSacrificeScheme: Twice, as if trying to live up to his paladin reputation

* StylisticSuck
** Possibly subverted, if Neo was telling the truth about his pictures.
** TerribleArtist: Borderline stick figures
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With both Saibas at points. Friendship is mended in both cases by the end of the story

* {{Zipperiffic}}
** Not a single one is placed practically
** FashionableAsymmetry: Or next to each other

** [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: The effort severed its arm, though Arkadimon survived, being an implacable man.]]
* KnockoutGas: '''''Rose Cradle!'''''(Not as good idea as you'd think as it knocks out ''everyone'' around Rosemon, [[spoiler:including Rosemon herself]])

* PlantPerson: Basically a rose with a humanoid body for a stem
* ShockAndAwe: Which "tame" the victim [[spoiler: unless it came from the super ultimate egg]]

* DistressedDamsel: Subverted once when she leaves with "the enemy" voluntarily, played straight twice.

%%* DarkChick: Of the Alias III.

** This is in contrast with the relationship between Adventure Taichi and his partner Agumon being much more grounded and brotherly, with Adventure Taichi at worst merely getting exasperated with Agumon's antics. Though there *was* that tiff with the Dark Evolution during the Etemon arc...

* VitriolicBestBuds: One of the main differences between V-Tamer Taichi and Adventure Taichi is that V-Tamer Taichi and his partner Zero frequently bicker with each other despite clearly being close friends. The two will even get into a brief scuffle with each other occassionally, but their friendship holds strong regardless of things. This is in contrast with Adventure Taichi and his partner Agumon relationship being more grounded and brotherly, with Taichi at worst merely getting exasperated with Agumon's antics.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Like Airdramon, Zero breathes arrows instead of fire. Unlike Airdramon, Zero is not serpentine or based on a Chinese long. And his v breath arrow ''does'' burn rather than pierce.

* TakeMyHand: [[spoiler:Which is denied by his Tamer.]]

* WhipItGood: '''''THORN WHIP!'''''

* MessianicArchetype: {{Defied| Trope}}, Zero refuses to let him die.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: How he justifies his position.

* CamWhore: She implies that she regularly did a toned-down version of this on the internet before being recruited by Neo.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: He wears a pendant around his neck

* DistressedDude: His continual work for Lord Whamon does eventually get Gon caught be one of Lord Marine's minions, but in one of the manga's {{signature scene}}s Zeromaru saves him
* FearlessFool: That's how his neighbors viewed him.
* UsefulNotes/GreenIsBlue: His eyes are colored both ways.
* NoNose: His initial form lacks one

* DarkChick
** Of the Alias III.
** [[spoiler:TheChick: After her HeelFaceTurn, she starts playing this to Taichi and the rest of the Alias III.]]

* ICantFeelMyLegs: In the Digimon World, her ability to walk is restored temporarily, but otherwise this is her situation.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: [[spoiler:In the small world he and Sigma made.]]
