Royal Knights

The Royal Knights (ロイヤルナイツ) are a group of thirteen Mega-level Holy Knight Digimon that are the Digital World's sacred guardians, and are famed among Digimon as guardian deities of the Computer Network. The group was founded by Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, and serves King Drasil. Because the Royal Knights are assigned the highest rank of Network Security, it is absolutely impossible to violate Security in their presence. With the notable exceptions of Gankoomon and Jesmon, the Royal Knights rarely intervene with the Digital World, and tend to work alone when they do show their face; however, based on a certain "Prophecy" handed down from the ancient Digital World, it is said that the Royal Knights will assemble at the time of the Digital World's greatest crisis. King Drasil gathered the Royal Knights in order to manage the world, and it seems that its will will eventually lead the Royal Knights to cross Servers to the Digital World: Iliad Server and meet the Olympos XII face-to-face. The group also has a natural rivalry with the Seven Great Demon Lords.

Most of the Royal Knights are Human Digimon, although there are a few with bestial forms. Like historical knights, some of the Royal Knights are the lords of other types of Digimon, or associate with a team of subordinates, although they are all subservient to King Drasil. Furthermore, each of the Royal Knights possesses a dogma that it believes in. Each of the Royal Knights also has an X-Antibody forms, and may have additional alternate Modes, which are still considered Royal Knights.

The final member of the Royal Knights, acquired its title through frequent, rigorous training at the direction of Gankoomon, its sponsor. It was originally a Hackmon in which Gankoomon saw promise, and as it traveled the Digital World alongside the Sistermon sisters, intervening in the world's incessant conflicts, it digivolved to BaoHuckmon, SaviorHuckmon, then finally, Jesmon.

Members
Some of the species that are members of the Royal Knights have also appeared as characters in other media, but are not members of the group.

With each resulting clash, however, their margin of victory grows smaller, from what was once overwhelming to more or less evenly matched to requiring Lucemon's aid to win.

Craniamon


Craniamon is one of Leopardmon's Royal Knight supporters and is close friends with UlforceVeedramon.

He finds himself on top of the Tokyo Metropolitan Building, which leads to one of the staff hiring Keisuke Amasawa to get rid of him, as he was scaring members of other staff. Upon reaching the roof, Keisuke confronts Craniamon, only for him to state he hates humans and for him to leave. Alphamon then arrives and the two talk about their Ulforce, who was stuck in a portal and was unable to get out. They come to an agreement to allow Keisuke to help them free Ulforce and Craniamon uses his sword to open a portal, with the three going inside. Alphamon states that Keisuke is now a digital entity and that his real body is passed out on the roof and that if they spend too much time in this portal, he will be unable to return to his body, effectively making him dead, so that they have to be quick. Upon getting to where Ulfroce is trapped, Alphamon relises that it is impossible for them to free him and that they need to give up. Craniamon however states he will do no such thing and attempts to go through, though Keisuke stands in the way to stop him. Craniamon then states he will do anything to free his ally, so Alphamon and Keisuke will not stop him. Keisuke and Alphamon however team up to defeat Craniamon, with Craniamon agreeing and thanking with Alphamon stating that he would've died had he tried to free Ulforce. The three then leave the portal, with Keisuke managing to get back into his body. Craniamon states he still doesn't like humans, then flies off with Alphamon. The worker then thanks Keisuke and says that he heard a second giant monster showed up and that Keisuke beat them both up. Keisuke doesn't dispute this and takes credit for beating them both up. Due to Keisuke's action, Craniamon starts to doubt if humans are actually evil, however King Drasil proceeds to mind control him and force him to do as he is told.

Later on, Craniamon appears in cyberspace and tries to halt Aiba's progress. However, he is quickly slain because he has doubts about the supposed evil of humanity.

Crusadermon is one of the Royal Knights. She is the supreme monarch who presides over all the Knightmon. Crusadermon was sent to Earth to find a way to bring the other Royal Knights to the Real World en masse. Posing as Miss Rie, she worked behind the scenes trying to manipulate Digital Waves.

Crusadermon murders Satoru Kamishiro, the president of Kamishiro Enterprises, but blames this on Rei's latent influence.

She fabricated evidence that Kamishiro had illegally acquired Nile Corp, and used it as a pretext to fire most of Kamishiro's staff. She later revealed this deception to Ryuji Mishima.

Kamashiro offers to fund the expensive service of siphoning off Erika Mishima's excess memories to EDEN, keeping her alive, but Rie uses the threat of pulling funding to keep Ryuji in line.

Eventually Erika and Keisuke Amasawa discover this, which leads to them hacking into her server to find information on her. When Rie finds out about their infiltration, she decides they are loose ends and attacks them, as Crusadermon. Before Keisuke can deal the finishing blow, Crusadermon flees, only for her to freak out when there are police waiting for her, as Erika had tipped them off before arriving. Rie flees to the roof, only for Keisuke, Erika and the police to arrive on the roof. Erika and Rie get into a fistfight. Eventually, Rie throws herself off the roof, stating her time as Rie is done, with Matayoshi yelling for them to get an ambulance. Her body is never found, though Erika assumes she is still alive.

Later on — proving she's still alive — Aiba catches up to her and defeats her, but not before finding out about the tragic events that happened eight years ago.

As Gallantmon and the other benevolent Royal Knights tried to defeat Examon alongside Arata and Aiba, not only did Examon get away, but Arata killed Gallantmon by eating him alive, under the influence of his infection. Gallantmon is the only Royal Knight siding with Omnimon to perish. However, a revived but injured Gallantmon can be seen on the Metropolitan office roof after defeating Leopardmon and Eater Adam.

Kentaurosmon


Kentaurosmon is one of the Royal Knights that sided with during his campaign against the Real World. Kentaurosmon is first seen causing chaos in EDEN, prompting Aiba to try and stop him.

As it turned out, only can counter Kentaurosmon, as he is the fastest Royal Knight. However, their UlforceVeedramon was unable to cross over into the human world, meaning they needed another one. Mirei Mikagura sends Aiba into another to recuit her allies, Rina Shinomiya and Veevee to take their place. Rina agrees to help, though only on the condition that they help her defeat, who stole Veevee's power to digivolve. After helping to defeat the Demon Lord, Veevee warp digivolves back into his UlforceVeedramon form and agrees to help out. Together they are able to overcome Kentaurosmon. After Kentaurosmon loses to Aiba and Rina, the loss brings him to his senses. It turns out that Kentaurosmon was immensely confused, causing his erratic behavior in the first place. Seeing as nothing is destroyed, Kentaurosmon is allowed to join 's group a changed Digimon. Kentaurosmon decides to travel with Veevee and Rina.

Rina then hires Keisuke Amasawa to take her, Veevee and Kentaurosmon to the best restaurants in this universe, though they keep getting thrown out due to all three of their over excitedness. Eventually they come up with a plan to "eat silently" to not get thrown out but just end up arguing over who gets to be a food reviewer. They then have Keisuke take them to Under Kowloon Lv.5, where they determine that they need to defeat Keisuke first as he would be the best food reviewer. Keisuke manages to defeat the two Royal Knights, though when Rina states that she is not done and wants to fight again for the right to review, Keisuke just runs away rather than keep fighting. Rina seems to eventually give up, as the case is submitted as complete, with Keisuke receiving payment.

As they do so, large amounts of Spiral emerge from the distortion. The Royal Knights defeat them all, however even more emerge all over the Digital World, so the Royal Knights split up to take them down.

Whilst taking care of these distortions, is freed due to the distortions caused by Spiral breaking Lucemon's seal. Lucemon is confronted by, , , , , and ; and Lucemon FM easily deals with all them.

As the two of them search for what it is, they are found by and, who had been searching for Alphamon. Omegamon explains that was trying to use the Digital Points to realise in the Real World alongside a large group of its avatars.

Herissmon warp digivolves to and fights Omegamon and after Stefilmon puts all of its power into an attack against Omegamon, Omegamon is impressed and states it has more than enough faith in its partner and battle experience to help Omegamon and Alphamon deal with Diaboromon and its avatars.

After the group splits up to deal with the Avatars, Alphamon kills a large amount of Kuramon, Keramon, and Infermon, however despite the separate groups being able to kill many of them, the numbers continue to rise. Alphamon realise that if the data continues to rise Diaboromon will eventually realise in the Real World and hopes Omegamon is able to deal with the problem in the limited time they have. When Stefilmon and are ambushed by many Diaboromon avatars, Alphamon suddenly appears and kills the avatars, saving Stefilmon and MegaKabuterimon.

Omegamon is eventually able to find Diaboromon but finds that its attacks are too slow to hit it, and comes to the conclusion that it needs to slow Diaboromon down. Suddenly Diaboromon slows down, which was because of the amount of data Diaboromon needed to process to revive its deceased avatars. As the battle continues Omegamon waits for Diaboromon to become slow enough so that Omegamon can kill it, and is eventually able to kill Diaboromon thanks to the work of Alphamon, Stefilmon, MegaKabuterimon, and the Tamers slowing Diaboromon down.

After a long fought battle they succeed as Megidramon de-digivolves to Guilmon after running out of energy and then passes out. They then decide to leave it in its Rookie stage, though states it would permanently destroy it if it went on another rampage.

Some time later, Guilmon wakes up without any memories. It smells the freshly cooked bread from the nearby restaurant and runs over to it, though has no money to be able to buy some. Feeling bad for the hungry Guilmon the owner, Digitamamon, states it will give it some bread if Guilmon helps with the deliveries.

After Guilmon delivers the bread to the local Lalamon it is attacked by a group Meramon who had witnessed Megidramon's rampage, the group deciding to get revenge for all the Digimon that had lived the village that Megidramon had destroyed. During the fight the Meramon accidentally attack the Lalamon as a result of Guilmon dodging their attacks which causes to Guilmon angrily digivolve to Growlmon due to having seen its new friends getting hurt, after which Growlmon easily defeats the Meramon. As the Meramon beg for mercy Growlmon suddenly remembers previous Digimon's cries for mercy, which causes Growlmon to run away upset that so many Digimon were scared of it as it simply wanted to be friends with everyone and decides it would be better off alone.

Later that night, as it wanders the forest alone, having de-digivolved back to Guilmon, it suddenly runs into Sagittarimon - who - after seeing how hungry Guilmon was tries to share fruit with it though Guilmon rejects it, telling Sagittarimon to stay away due to it being a bad Digimon. With Sagittarimon being the only Digimon in the forest it decides it doesn't mind if Guilmon lives there too, though tells it that if it wants to be alone it can live on the other side of the forest - which Guilmon decides to do. Despite Guilmon's attempts to remain alone Sagittarimon constantly visits in attempts to befriend Guilmon and the duo eventually bond over constellations and slowly become close friends. After Guilmon finally accepts Sagittarimon as its friend Sagittarimon tells Guilmon to use its powers to help others and that that will eventually have the other Digimon accept it, which is why Sagittarimon had been being nice as well — as it didn't want to be alone either. The duo then spend many days living together.

One day they are suddenly visited by a SkullMeramon who had been trying to find Guilmon so that it could kill it for its Meramon friends.

Unbeknownst to Guilmon however Sagittarimon fights SkullMeramon to try and stop it achieving its goal. After running away Guilmon is ambushed by a group of Tankmon though Sagittarimon arrives just in time to take the blow for Guilmon. The anger at seeing its friend getting hurt causes Guilmon to angrily warp digivolve to Megidramon, after which is rampages once again. Having heard of its rampage Goldramon arrives to the forest, regretting ever having shown it mercy. As Goldramon attacks Megidramon over and over Megidramon remembers the lesson Sagittarimon taught it about helping others and reverts itself back to Guilmon, apologising to Sagittarimon for being responsible for it getting hurt — with Goldramon shocked that a Digimon like Megidramon would protect another Digimon. Goldramon heals Sagittarimon and then after learning that Guilmon wishes to get stronger so that it can protect Digimon like Sagittarimon it tells Guilmon to go on a journey and travel the Digital World so that it could become strong enough to do just that and refrains from telling it that it used to be a member of the Four Great Dragons.

Guilmon then goes on its journey and eventually becomes Gallantmon of the Royal Knights.

One day, when the, , Mayu Kohinata, , Chihiro Tsukimori, and were having a picnic a Digital Point suddenly opens up and the group find Gallantmon fighting a Spiral-4004Y. After it defeats it the group offer to share their bred with Gallantmon, though it refuses as it has nothing to give in return. Chihiro suggests it teaches the group how it got so strong, which Gallantmon agrees to which leads it to decide to spar against the group. After defeating the Digital Point begins to shrink, meaning it could not eat the bred with its new friends though the group give it some bread to take with it. Mayu asks Gallantmon what kind of bread it would like to eat the next time they meet — and after seeing that the bread was made in the shape of animals, Gallantmon asks Mayu to make it bread in the shape of a Digimon.

Later uses its ability to sense unusual phenomenon and senses a massive distortion and reports it to. The 13 Royal Knights then all gather together, and come up with a plan to split up in half and attack it from both sides in an attempt to seal it, half in the Digital World, and half in the Human World.

Jesmon was hoping the entire situation could be resolved without fighting though Crusadermon laughs, stating that wasn't possible and that they had to get into the domain to kill Lucemon and that Seraphimon was obviously sheltering the Demon Lord in its former home. Realising that the Tamers were friends with Takumi and Sara, who had attacked the Digital World with a group of Spiral, Crusadermon decides it would be best to kill the entire group, including, which is enough to spur Jesmon into battle against its fellow Royal Knight.
