I'm a huge fan of Digimon Adventure 01 who believe the other seasons are too crappy to be considered cannon. One of the reasons for this staunch standpoint is that while the plot of Season 1 is quite simply awesome, all subsequent seasons are characterized of being improvised and unneccesary sequels. The story could have ended when all evil was eradicated with the death of Apocalymon, but instead they made it reappear in a completely unlikely and senseless way.

Anyway: This page will contain my personal analysis of the fighting abilities of some Digimons, as well as some fan fiction. You will find some interesting tables on the bottom of this page. Hope you'll enjoy it! =History of the Digital World=

Look inside the box! [under construction]
History of the Digital World

The dawn of time
The Digital World's beginnings can be traced back to, when the first successful testing of the took place. This prompted the creation of a parallel world, which was built upon digital information from the real world. This new world was housing thousands of living creatures called Digimons, which are intelligent lifeforms who soon formed great civilizations there. The only possible way to travel between the two parallel worlds is to open a wormhole, which is something only Gennai and a handful of the most powerful Digimons are able to do.

The rise of evil
Formed by all the darkness that existed in both worlds, an evil creature called Apocalymon soon grew dangerously powerful. Being jealous of the light, he desired to take over both worlds and make them fit him and his darkness so he would no longer be alone in his misery. To achieve this, he created numerous evil Digimons in order to disturb the balance in the Digital World.

Apocalymon's masterpiece was the Dark Masters, a group of four powerful Digimons consisting of Piedmon, Machinedramon, Puppetmon and MetalSeadramon. In case if everything should go wrong, he created the Daemon Corps as well. While the members of the corps didn't posess a strenght even resembling that of the Dark Masters, Daemon - the leader of the corps - had the power of darkness within him and was stronger than anyone except Apocalymon himself. Should evil indeed be defeated, Daemon would restore it according to Apocalymon's plan. Due to his role as a player in the background, he only engaged in battle once before disappearing - this due to the microscopic risk that he might indeed be defeated, something Apocalymon intended to avoid at all cost.

Arrival of the DigiDestined, battle for File Island
Alarmed by the the rising power of Apocalymon's dominions, Gennai called upon the DigiDestined. Tai, Matt, Sora, Mimi, Joe, Izzy and T.K. found themselves involuntarily transported to the Digital World. They arrived at File Island, and soon met their partner Digimons. As time passed, six of the seven Digimons managed to Digivolve to the Champion level when their human partners were in danger; Agumon Digivolved to Greymon in order to fight off Shellmon, Gabumon became Garurumon to rescue Matt from Seadramon, Palmon became Togemon in order to rescue the kids from Monzaemon, Biyomon became Birdramon in order to beat Meramon, Tentomon became Kabuterimon in order to destroy a Black Gear in Andromon's leg, and Gomamon Digivolved to Ikkakumon in order to repell Unimon. Soon thereafter, they learned that the island was in fact ruled by an evil Digimon called Devimon with an iron fist, and soon came to believe this was the reason why they had been called to the Digital World in the first place. They barely escaped their first encounter with him, and soon rallied to confront and destroy this powerful enemy once and for all. However, despite aid from Leomon, they stood no chance against Devimon. He defeated all the Champion Digimons, and soon turned his attention to T.K. and his partner Digimon Patamon; An old prophecy said the smallest would defeat Devimon, and he was determined to prevent this from happening. He failed; Patamon Digivolved to Angemon, who singlehandedly destroyed Devimon with his immense power and brought peace to the island.

The Road to Earth
Surprised by the sudden defeat of Devimon, Apocalymon commanded one of his stronger dominions - Myotismon - to expedite the plan to invade Earth and conquer it under the banner of darkness. The DigiDestined were initially unaware of this new threat, and sailed from File Island to the continent of Server with no clear idea of what they were about to face. While not exactly being part of Apocalymon's plan, Etemon - an Ultimate Digimon - slowed down the DigiDestined for days and bought Myotismon valuable time. In the end, however, Greymon successfully digivolved to MetalGreymon in order to fight Etemon and thus learned the secret, defeating Etemon in the process.

Myotismon realized the DigiDestined was far stronger than he had expected. Fearing they might disturb his plan, he sent DemiDevimon to manipulate them and split them up. He initially succeeded, but Tai reunited the group. Gennai then gathered them at his home, informing them about Myotismon's plan. He told them there was a secret passage between the Digital World and Earth, and stressed that they had to stop Myotismon from crossing into the real world at all cost. The DigiDestined rushed to Myotismon's castle, but were unable to prevent the invasion from starting. Eventually finding a way to reopen the port to the passage, they crossed into the real world themselves to fight Myotismon. Myotismon did not just intend to conquer Earth. In fact, he was looking for the 8th DigiDestined child, someone the seven original DigiDestined until then had never heard about. While trying to find this kid, they had to fight Myotismon and his dominions at the same time in order to prevent him from finding him/her first. The 8th child was eventually revealed to be Kari, Tai's little sister. Gatomon, who until then had fought on Myotismon's side, learned she was Kari's Digimon and eventually took a reckoning on her past. While the combined power of MetalGreymon, WereGarurumon, Garudamon, MegaKabuterimon, Zudomon and Lillymon - 6 Ultimates - proved no match for Myotismon, Angemon (only a Champion) again surprised with his immense powers and overpowered Myotismon; However, he was unable to prevent the death of Wizardmon, Gatomon's closest friend. With Kari's life in danger, Gatomon digivolved to her Ultimate form Angewomon and defeated Myotismon.

However, they soon learned Myotismon could digivolve to another level - he soon appeared as VenomMyotismon, and proved he could not be beaten by any Ultimates. A miracle then occured, with Agumon and Gabumon digivolving into their Mega forms, becoming WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon respectively. However, even their powers proved insufficient, and they depended on the power of the digivices restraining him in order to defeat him.

Enter the Dark Masters
However, the struggle for peace was far from over. Soon, the DigiDestined learned that a group of four Digimons - the Dark Masters - had conquered the Digital World and established a reign of terror. They rushed to the Digital World to combat them, but got overwhelmed by their immense powers and lost faith in themselves.

MetalSeadramon, the first of the Dark Masters and the ruler of the great sea, started pursuing them. Frightened and doubting victory was an even remote possibility, the DigiDestined escaped with the help of Whamon. They took refuge on a far-of island in the middle of the ocean, but MetalSeadramon soon found them. However, by then, Izzy had learned that WarGreymon's Dramon Destroyer ability could perhaps be sufficient to defeat MetalSeadramon. To their surprise, he succeeded in killing the first of the four Dark Masters with this powerful attack, but this came at a price; Whamon sacrificed his life in order to help WarGreymon.

The next target was Puppetmon. Manipulating as he was, he managed to decieve Matt and make him betray the group and challenge Tai's position as the leader of the group. This lead to a clash between MetalGarurumon and WarGreymon, but Gennai intervened and helped them solve the conflict. Being ready to fight again, they confronted and defeated Puppetmon, who was finally killed by MetalGarurumon.

Devimon then attempted to kill T.K., causing Patamon to digivolve into Angemon. Angemon used his hand of fate on Devimon, who was destroyed by this powerful attack. This came at a price though - Angemon used up all his energy and, as a result, de-Digivolved into a Digi-Egg.

Myotismon was destroyed by Angewomon soon thereafter.

In a brief duel, he pushed BlackWarGreymon into the Gate of Destiny and forcibly transported him to a different corner of the Digital World. Despite having the ability to settle it all and kill BlackWarGreymon at the spot, it is believed he decided not to because he was aware that there was actually good in him. MagnaAngemon was the only one who succesfully challenged and defeated BlackWarGreymon singlehandedly.

MagnaAngemon was present during the battle with SkullSatamon, although he took no offensive action. Despite being hit by SkullSatamon's extremely powerful Skull Hammer, he neither de-Digivolved nor sustained any injuries at all - unlike all other Digimon present, including Imperialdramon Dragon Mode, who de-Digivolved, froze or fell to the ground instantly.

Ken used the darkness inside him to open a gate to a different world, and Imperialdramon tried to push Daemon into the gate. However, this had no effect at all. Daemon still laughted, before simply walking away without a fight with a promise to return.

Later, he intervened on WarGreymon's side in a battle with BlackWarGreymon which was by then stalemated. All three of them used their strongest attacks, causing a huge explosion in the skies and marking the final defeat of BlackWarGreymon at the hands of the DigiDestined. BlackWarGreymon changed his allegiance soon thereafter.

In the midst of the battle, MaloMyotismon suddenly grew much larger and started to spread darkness in both worlds before defeating all of his three opponents with ease.

He prepared to use his Total Annihilation ability to destroy both worlds, something no Digimon could stop. However, the children's Digivices contained the attack, so all that it achieves was his own death. As a result, the Digital World reformated and the chaos created by the Dark Masters was reverted.

Being aware of the prophecy about the 8th Child, Myotismon invaded the Real World with his lead by Phantomon. To his frustration, many of his minions were killed in unsuccessful attempts to find the 8th Child. When his servants Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon refused to kill Matt and T.K., Myotismon slaughtered them in a cold-blooded way and thus caused Gabumon to Digivolve into WereGarurumon, who engaged him in a battle. Myotismon used his Grizzly Wing attack to easily defeat WereGarurumon, and was about to kill him when Angemon surprisingly intervened and saved his ally. They then used their combined strenght to attack Myotismon, forcing him into retreat.

When learning about Gatomon's relation with the 8th Child, he used her as a bait in order to find and kill whoever that last unknown DigiDestined might be. The plan proved successful, and it was revealed that the 8th Child was actually Kari, Tai's sister. He was finally confronted by the DigiDestined, and Lillymon, MetalGreymon, WereGarurumon, Zudomon, MegaKabuterimon and Garudamon launched a combined assault on him; However, he did not even suffer minor injuries.

Although he succeeded in surpassing Myotismon, seeking too much power caused him to lose his intelligence. Tai and Matt Digivolved Agumon and Gabumon into MetalGreymon and WereGarurumon to fight VenomMyotismon, but were easily beaten. Izzy then worked up a miracle to Warp Digivolve Agumon and Gabumon into their Mega forms, WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. The other Digidestined combined their attacks and WarGreymon knocked the giant monster out. But VenomMyotismon then revealed "the beast within", which is another face that's actually the real form.

Mummymon, seeing no meaning in life without Arukenimon, attacked MaloMyotismon only to be destroyed by his Howling Blood.

The second generation of the DigiDestined were afraid of fighting MaloMyotismon, but Davis helped the others get the courage and fight. MaloMyotismon used his Mental Illusion attack on all the DigiDestined, seperating them to other illusions. The the DigiDestined and their Digimons returned to fight MaloMyotismon, and succeeded in forcing him to retreat to the Digital World. However, MaloMyotismon suddenly grew much larger and started to spread darkness in the Real World. Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, Shakkoumon and Silphymon tried to stop him, but he easily fought them off.

When all seemed to be lost, a miracle occured when all the DigiDestined's Digiviced started to glow just like when they were fighting Apocalymon three years earlier.

He then got a glimpse of Azulongmon, and thus decided to destroy all destiny stones in order to meet his one and only "worthy opponent".

BlackWarGreymon continued working to destroy the Stones, and defeated the DigiDestined every time they engaged him except for one time, when MagnaAngemon managed to save a Destiny Stone and forcibly expell BlackWarGreymon to a different corner of the Digital World with his Gate of Destiny. This defeat was only temporary, however. In the last battle over the Destiny Stones, he fought and defeated Paildramon, Silphymon and Shakkoumon. When he was about to destroy the stone, Azulongmon finally arrived and explained to BlackWarGreymon that he had a purpose in life which was bigger than just fighting. BlackWarGreymon left in a melancholic state.

BlackWarGreymon later emerged in the Real World to kill Yukio Oikawa for disrupting the balance of both the Real World and the Digital World. Before he could kill the man, WarGreymon intervened and engaged him in battle. Neither side able to gain the upper hand until Imperialdramon Fighter Mode intervened and finally defeated BlackWarGreymon with a slim margin. After the battle, the DigiDestined talked him out of killing Oikawa.

BlackWarGreymon showed up when Cody Hida's grandfather tried to talk Oikawa out of his plan. Myotismon momentarily took over Oikawa's body and fired a blast of dark energy at Cody's grandfather. BlackWarGreymon stepped in front and took the full blast, saving Cody's grandfather's life, but he was mortally wounded by the blast. Oikawa fled and BlackWarGreymon realized that Myotismon was actually controlling Oikawa. He used the last of his strength to seal the Highton View Terrace Gate to the Digital World to prevent Myotismon from entering the Digital World at that point. In the process, he found the purpose he had searched for all along and died a hero's death.

Attacks
 * Terra Destroyer: Similarly to WarGreymon he gathers all of the energy within the atmosphere and concentrates it into one spot, then fires it as a super-dense, high-temperature fireball energy shot.
 * Terra Force: Spins at tremendous speed like a tornado and launches himself at the enemy.
 * Dramon Destroyer: Slashes his "Dramon Destroyer" gauntlets.

SkullSatamon
Piedmon

SkullSatamon  was a follower of the dark lord Daemon and appeared in Tokyo just after Christmas, terrorizing the city in order to find Ken. SkullSatamon attacked the main city, drawing the DigiDestined to him.

When confronted by MetalGreymon, MegaKabuterimon and Paildramon, he easily defeated them with his superior speed. Paildramon digivolved to Imperialdramon Dragon Mode, but SkullSatamon attacked him with his Nail Bone attack to corrupt his data, leaving him paralyzed. Soon Garudamon, WereGarurumon, Ankylomon, Aquilamon, Zudomon, Angewomon and MagnaAngemon arrived at the scene and confronted him; However, he forcibly de-Digivolved or defeated all of them except MagnaAngemon, who withstood his powerful Skull Hammer attack. SkullSatamon then grabbed a nearby bus full of children, and hoisted it into the air, threatening to use it to destroy both the Digimon and the children. The rest of the Digimon then transferred their energy to Imperialdramon, freeing him and allowing him to mode change to Imperialdramon Fighter Mode. Imperialdramon, reinforced by the energy of his allies (particularly that of MagnaAngemon), soon obliterated SkullSatamon with a single blast with his Positron Laser Attack.

Attacks
 * Nail Bone: Fires a powerful light from the jewel at the end of its staff, disrupting and obliterating the opponent's data.
 * Skull Hammer: Hits his opponent with his powerful staff, causing them to de-Digivolve at the spot.

Machinedramon
Machinedramon

Machinedramon is the third of the four Dark Masters and rules the cities and presides over the "Metal Empire", a strong urban army which includes Megadramon, Gigadramon, several Hagurumon, and a multitude of Mekanorimon and Tankmon.

In his first meeting with the DigiDestined, he blasted all the Ultimate-level Digimon before they could attack him and defeated them all. Later, when Puppetmon had been defeated, the DigiDestined infiltrated his Metal Empire. Machinedramon sent his urban army to track them down, but they either failed to find them or got defeated in direct confrontations, as was the case for WaruMonzaemon. Machinedramon then ordered plan Operation Elimin-8, which consisted of having Megadramon and Gigadramon destroy every single building in order to make sure the DigiDestined did not survive. He then decided to take on them by himself, and blasted a hole in the ground which swallowed Tai, Izzy, Sora, T.K. and Kari. He assumed them to be dead, but in fact the DigiDestined took refuge underground and teamed up with a resistance movement led by Andromon.

When being informed by WaruMonzaemon that the DigiDestined were still alive, he confronted them once again. Andromon managed to hold him off in order for the DigiDestined to escape, but was soon defeated. Not even the combined efforts of Andromon, Angemon, and  could defeat Machinedramon. Then hundreds of Numemons made a desperate attempt to stop Machinedramon but were wiped out easily by the villain's "Catastrophe" attack. Agumon was then hit by a beam of light from Kari's crest, causing him to warp digivolve to. He charged up to Machinedramon, slicing him up "like an onion" with his Dramon Destroyers. Machinedramon started to split and soon disappeared.

Attacks
 * Giga Cannon: Fires superdreadnought-class energy waves from its two cannons.
 * Dragon Fire: Drills its right arm into the opponent.

Puppetmon
Puppetmon

Puppetmon is the second of the four Dark Masters and rules the forests from a secluded mansion and presides over the "Wind Guardians".

In his first encounter with the DigiDestined, he defeated them all in their Ultimate forms and even toyed with them, before he finally forced them do de-Digivolve with his Puppet Pummel attack.

Puppetmon later kidnapped T.K., forcing him to play hide-and-seek in order to scare him. However, T.K. outsmarted him and managed to escape from the mansion and destroy Puppetmon's playroom.

After the DigiDestined went their separate ways, Puppetmon confronted Mimi,Joe and Ogremon. Gomamon digivolved to Zudomon, but was easily defeated. However, before Puppetmon could destroy them, MetalEtemon arrived and made fun of him, using his Banana Slip attack. That became the start of an argument which allowed the DigiDestined to escape.

In his absence, some other DigiDestined had infiltrated his mansion and used its cannon to fire at Puppetmon. He fought the kids with some RedVegiemon, and initially have the upper hand as he played with WarGreymon. However, when Garudamon destroyed his hammer, he was surrounded by WarGreymon, MegaKabuterimon, Garudamon, Angemon and Angemon. Frightened, Puppetmon used his power to bring his mansion to life in the form of a giant wooden robot known as "Housemon", and instructed it to attack the DigiDestined long enough for him to escape. He then encountered Matt and MetalGarurumon, and unsuccessfully tried to control the latter with his stings. He then charged at them head on, about to use his Flying Cross Cutter attack. MetalGarurumon fatally blasted him at point-blank range with his Metal Wolf Claw; he was hit with such force that his entire body turned blue and froze.

MetalSeadramon
MetalSeadramon

MetalSeadramon is the first of the four Dark Masters and rules the Net Ocean and presides over the "Deep Savers".

MetalSeadramon was the first one to attack the DigiDestined and easily defeated the DigiDestined's Eight Champion Level Digimon. He later sent Scorpiomon to get the DigiDestined, but he was defeated and the plan failed. Angered, he decided to take on them by his own, but Whamon arrived and saved them in the nick of time.

After a long pursuit, MetalSeadramon finally confronted the DigiDestined. Agumon digivolved into WarGreymon and attacked. Catching WarGreymon with his jaws, he dragged him underwater and tried to drown him. However, Whamon intervened and saved WarGreymon, only to be destroyed by MetalSeadramon's River of Power. He then tried to use the same attack on WarGreymon, but WarGreymon deflected the attack and blasted right through him with his Dramon Destroyers. MetalSeadramon sank and was never seen again.

Attacks
 * River of Power: Fires an energy cannon from the tip of its nose.

T.K.
T.K.

Season 1
File Island

T.K. was the youngest DigiDestined when the first original seven were transported into the Digital World, being only 8 years old. He was also the only with two citizenships; His mother was French and his father Japanese. Despite his young age, he was fairly independent on his own, rebuffing his older brother Matt's attempts to comfort and coddle him. He was the only one to suffer the loss of his Digimon, and matured a lot from the experience. When Patamon digivolved into Angemon, Angemon summoned all of the others' strengths and sacrificed himself in order to defeat Devimon. This event traumatized him severely.

Puppetmon

T.K. played a critical role in defeating Puppetmon. While at his mansion, T.K. taunted Puppetmon, saying that he had no friends and other insults, upsetting Puppetmon. He led Puppetmon through traps and a game of hide-and-seek, allowing T.K. to destroy his playroom and take the dolls he used to control the other DigiDestined. He then escaped the mansion and met up with the other DigiDestined outside. His bravery strongly impressed the others, who had thought they had lost him.

Piedmon

Near the end of the battle with Piedmon, everybody except T.K., Kari and Patamon had been turned into keychains. Sora had told T.K. to watch over and protect Kari, and T.K. did this to the point where he nearly sacrificed himself to protect her. T.K's hope and determination to win finally allowed Angemon to digivolve into MagnaAngemon and finally defeat Piedmon.

Season 2
Starting at a new school

Three years had passed, and T.K. and his mother had just moved to Odaiba. T.K. started at a new school and got placed in the same class as Kari, who he hadn't seen for 3 years. They immediately became close, to the dismay of Davis - a boy who had an obvious crush on Kari. Inconvenient enough, he proved to be one of the new DigiDestined and started bullying and undermining T.K. This proved counterproductive, as Kari took T.K's side when Davis bothered him.

Kari disappearing to a different world

A few days later, Kari starts having strange dreams and feel like she is disappearing to another world. In the classroom, T.K. saw Kari seem to fuzz over. ‘Kari!’ he cried, standing up. The entire class looked round and stared at him, including Kari, whose outline was back to normal. Then they turned to look at Kari. Suddenly, Kari closed her eyes and fell to the side in a faint. A friend catched her, and the teacher sent her to the nurse’s office. At the end of class, T.K. ran to the nurse to find Kari, but was told she wasn't there. He checked everywhere inside school before seeing her sitting outside. He ran outside to talk to her. She told him what happened, and how scared she was that the digimon were going to take her to ‘their world’. In his worry for Kari, T.K. told her he cared too much about her to let her go without a fight. Kari stared at him in astonishment. Embarrassed, T.K. stuttered an excuse and ran off.

In the computer room, Cody, Davis, Upamon, DemiVeemon, Poromon and Patamon were watching Yolei upgrade the D-3s. T.K. walked in. Patamon asks him what the matter is. Gatomon bursted in and told them that ‘Kari’s disappeared’. T.K. told the others that she might not be in the Digital World. While the others started arguing on how to deal with Kari's sudden disappearance, T.K. ran out to the beach to find her. Patamon and Gatomon followed. T.K. was angry at himself and said he should have realized she needed help. He then realized Kari must be in a different dimension. He started shouting Kari’s name. Suddenly, a purple light appeared, and they saw Kari in the middle of it calling T.K.’s name. T.K, Patamon and Gatomon jumped into the light, and were transported to the strange dimension where Airdramon was threathening Kari. With their combined strenght, Pegasusmon and Angewomon defeated Airdramon. Once the threat was over, T.K. ran towards Kari and hugged her. When they were leaving for the real world, Kari asked T.K. what he had meant that morning when he’d said he cared for her, and he once again stammered out an excuse. She then told him she cared for him too. They both chuckled, knowing what these words really meant.

Later events

At Christmas the same year, T.K. and Kari kissed under a mistletoe. In Kari's Digimon Girls Festival song "Reflection", the person Kari addressed was T.K., as he fits all of her descriptions. In the song, Kari acknowledged that he has been protecting her and has known her for very long, since their youth, and described their relationship as "too cute to be called romance".

Due to the time differences between the Digital World and the real world, T.K. and Kari spent several years in the Digital World during their adolescence without aging, and used some of this extra time to do all their homework and prepare for tests. Thanks to this obvious advantage, they both finished school with remarkably good grades. As soon as they reached 18, they married and moved to California where T.K. joined the American Army while Kari became a kindergarden teacher. T.K. served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and took part in daring commando missions behind enemy lines in Pakistan. He was mortally wounded at two instances, but survived both times and eventually gave in to pressure from Kari to withdraw from his career in the military. In 2013, when they were both 22 years old, he and Kari decided to move to the Digital World permanently. They resided in a mansion outside Primary Village together with Gatomon and Patamon.

Davis
Davis

Davis was among the children kidnapped by Myotismon's minions on August 3, 1999. As a result, he was chosen to become a DigiDestined three years later.

Davis was childish, energetic, not very smart and never took anything seriously. He had a huge crush on Kari, and always got into trouble because of his intense jealousy towards anyone he saw as a rival for Kari's affections. This often caused him to confront and bully T.K., and as a matter of fact he even tried to prevent him and Kari from spending time together alone. However, he proved far more sympathetic towards Ken, and became his best friend even though they had fought several battles when Ken was the Digimon Emperor.

When Kari and T.K. became a couple at Christmas 2002, Davis went berserk and his bad attitude towards T.K. got even worse. However, he soon accepted the realities and gave up his struggle to gain Kari's attention. As the events closed down with the death of MaloMyotismon, Davis was just happy that Kari could accept him as a friend. Due to his lack of academic abilities, Davis finished school with bad grades and failed to get into college. Instead, he started selling noodles on the street, which he did for the rest of his life. He eventually married and had a son, and they lived in a small appartment in Odaiba until he and his wife eventually divorced. Rather than becoming a family man, Davis was married to football his entire life and preferred hanging out with friends at football bars rather than spending time with his son. He kept in touch with Kari and T.K., even though he never stopped disliking T.K. for stealing Kari's heart.
