Mercurymon (Frontier)

This is a Digimon that appears in Digimon Frontier. For the Digimon known in japanese as Mercurymon, see Merukimon.

Mercurymon is a fictional character from the Digimon franchise, appearing as one of the villains of Digimon Frontier. He was voiced by Yasunori Matsumoto (Japan) and Daran Norris (US) with a Shakespearian dialect.

Description
Mercurymon is the Legendary Human Warrior of Steel, using the power of AncientWisemon.

Mercurymon is a crafty strategist, thinking of many strategies simultaneously. Always seen smiling diabolically, he is no doubt the most guileful, at least compared to the impulsive Ranamon. He has a fussy personality when it comes to precisely explaining methods of battle and such. He attacks his enemy's weak points but his behavior outside of calculations is brittle. One of his accomplishments was stealing Seraphimon's Fractal Code and using it himself to become ShadowSeraphimon. Mercurymon was defeated finally by Aldamon. He is the only warrior who lost his human spirit before his beast spirit, as well as the only one that never Slide Digivolves.

A purified Mercurymon later appeared at the Village of Beginnings, to help the other legendary warriors fight Crusadermon and Dynasmon. He also appeared when Susanoomon split into the ten Human Hybrids to slice through Lucemon Larva's body.

Attacks
 * Dark Reflection (Generous Mirror): Uses the reflection of an opponent in the "Irony no Tate" to reflect an attack.
 * Dark Reflection (Offset Reflector): Absorbs projectiles in one "Irony no Tate" and releases a dark version through the other.

Other forms
The name "Mercurymon" only refers to the Human-Hybrid form of this character. In the series, he gains access to other forms, each with a different name and special attack. However, this form is the one he spends most of his time in.

ShadowSeraphimon
ShadowSeraphimon is a Mega Level Fallen Angel Digimon, the fusion of Mercurymon with Seraphimon's Fractal Code.

When Takuya Kanbara as Agunimon entered the Light Sphere of Sakkakumon, he found Seraphimon's Fractal Code and Mercurymon's subconscious in the steel sphere. Mercurymon absorbed the Fractal Code and became ShadowSeraphimon, who immediately attacked Agunimon. No matter what Takuya did in his Agunimon or BurningGreymon forms, nothing worked. Instead ShadowSeraphimon beat him down with his hands, feet and his Testament attack. When the evil Angel used his Strike of the Seven Dark Stars attack, it caused BurningGreymon to regress back to Takuya. Takuya then was about to be killed by ShadowSeraphimon when Tommy Himi, Zoe Orimoto, J.P. Shibayama, Bokomon and Neemon called out to Takuya, causing Seraphimon's Digi-Egg to glow. It floated up to the Light Sphere and sent a stream of light into Takuya, who Fusion Evolved to Aldamon. He easily defeated ShadowSeraphimon and scanned his Fractal Code, returning it to Seraphimon's Digi-Egg.
 * It should be noted that while Mercurymon became ShadowSeraphimon to battle Takuya, it was only through the use of the real Seraphimon's fractal code, which means that it is not his true digivolution.

Attacks
 * Strike of the Seven Dark Stars (Seven Hells) : A dark version of Seraphimon's Strike of the Seven Stars; fires seven spheres of dark energy which can coalesce into a pyre of energy.
 * Shadow Starburst (Testament): Calls lightning to race across body while clutching foe.
 * Shadow Shockwave: Flicks hand to release an invisible shockwave.



Sakkakumon
Sakkakumon is the Legendary Beast Warrior of Steel, as well as one of the most powerful and the largest of the Beast Spirit Hybrids. Its Japanese name comes from the Sephirot, the 10 aspects of God in the Jewish religion.

Each of its ten spheres corresponds to one of the ten elements, and contains a champion of that element. As the ShadowSeraphimon and Mercurymon within Sakkakumon are explicitly constructed out of the Fractal Code it possesses, and the other six Digimon within Sakkakumon dissolve without leaving behind a digiegg, it is likely that they were Digimon who had previously lost their Code to Mercurymon.
 * Steel sphere, containing Mercurymon. Bears the Zero Unit.
 * Light sphere, containing ShadowSeraphimon.
 * Wind sphere, containing Karatenmon.
 * Thunder sphere, containing Parrotmon.
 * Ice sphere, containing IceLeomon.

 * Earth sphere, containing Volcamon, as well as ShadowBeetlemon.
 * Wood sphere, containing Cherrymon.

Later, it took a combined attack by Aldamon, Kazemon, Beetlemon, and Kumamon to defeat him, as he had copied the data for all of their attacks by observing them while they were within the Spheres. He used this data to reflect the attacks on the users, but was unable to reflect combination attacks.

Both of his spirits were transferred to Takuya Kanbara's D-Tector.

Mercurymon's spirits were later transferred into Koji Minamoto's D-Tector so he could Hyper Spirit Evolve to MagnaGarurumon.
