Crests (Digimon)

In Digimon Adventure, crests were used to allow the digimon that belonged to the digidestined to digivolve into the ultimate level. They also allowed Tai and Matt to digivolve to their Mega Levels. The Crests are, Courage, Friendship, Love, Knowledge, Sincerity, Reliability, Hope, Light and Kindness. In the second series, called Digimon Adventure 02 (or zero two in Japan) the crests were put on the Digi-Eggs, which allowed the new 'ancient' Digimon to digivolve to the next Level via armor digivolving. After Kimeramon was destroyed along with the Digimon Emperor's base, Ken Ichijouji, who vowed to never become the Digimon Emperor again, got the Crest of Kindness after the dark spore inside of him had been deactivated.

Tags
The Tags are the items that held the Crests in the first series, worn around the digidestined's necks. They were originally hidden deep underwater by Devimon in an underwater convenience store, guarded by a Drimogemon, however, the digidestined were attacked by a Whamon who was infected with one of Devimon's black gears. After a battle in which he was freed, Whamon took them to said store as thanks for getting rid of the gear.
