I'm an ex-troll (yes, I am...) and a huge fan of Digimon Adventure 01, who believe the continuation of the story was nothing but a disgrace. That's why I made my own story on this page, the Rise and fall of Daemon, which connects the dots between Digimon Adventure 01 and 02 in a new way - even though I strongly dislike 02 due to the use of the Whorf effect and the way the digivolutions turned stupid. In my point of view, that entire chapter should be rewritten, which is part of what I have done on this page - and I'm quite proud of the results.

Anyway: This page contains my personal analysis of the fighting abilities of some Digimons, as well as the fanfiction story I mentioned. You will find some interesting stuff on the bottom of this page, which I bet you will like. Hope you'll enjoy your stay on my user page! =History of the Digital World=

Fan fiction; Rise and fall of Daemon
Digimon Adventure 03

Daemon during Digimon Adventure 01
Daemon was the first and strongest Digimon Apocalymon ever created, and his highest ranked servant. Daemon took part in drawing up Apocalymon's plan to conquer the Digital World, but already from the start he was plotting to get rid of his master and to some day rule on his own.

Daemon laughed when the DigiDestined arrived at File Island, and enjoyed watching them getting hopelessly beaten by Devimon and his dominions. When Devimon was defeated, however, Daemon became conscious of the need to ensure that Earth was neutralized so that it would no longer pose a threat. Exploring his immense abilities, he eventually learned he had the ability to open a portal between the two worlds. Apocalymon commended Daemon for his great discovery, and sent Myotismon, another one of his servants, to conquer Earth. Even though there was a prophecy telling that Myotismon would be defeated and the DigiDestined would grow stronger, Apocalymon was not worried; With the DigiDestined stuck fighting on Earth, he could launch his real masterplan and unleash the four Dark Masters in the Digital World. That way, he would be able to conquer the Digital World without being disrupted during the process. Myotismon eventually realized he was nothing more than a diversion, but when he did it was already too late for him; He had been defeated, and took refuge in Oikawa's body to regain his strenght. Neither Daemon nor Apocalymon was aware of this. Apocalymon expected to see the Dark Masters achieve a swift victory. Daemon was not so sure, but it didn't worry him; In fact, he was not interested in seeing Apocalymon beat the DigiDestined and that way become the ruler of the Digital World. Because of this, he misinformed Apocalymon regarding the strenght of the DigiDestined with the anticipation that once the Dark Masters had been defeated, Apocalymon would fight the DigiDestined on his own. This would be Daemon's chance to get his old master our of the way. When Apocalymon took the DigiDestined's crests, Daemon used his powers to allow their Digimon to digivolve without them. This shocked Apocalymon, but he didn't realize Daemon had betrayed him until it was too late. With Apocalymon out of the way, Daemon could finally start paving his own way to glory.

Daemon during Digimon Adventure 02
Daemon did not possess the same strenght as Apocalymon. He could not create a powerful quartet like the Dark Masters, but instead formed the Daemon Corps, a group consisting of LadyDevimon, MarineDevimon, SkullSatamon and himself. Unlike Apocalymon, he would participate in battle himself and had clear goals from the start; He wanted to capture Ken and use his powers of darkness to beat the DigiDestined for good. He was not so shocked when his allies were defeated, but it didn't matter much to him; He was stronger than all the DigiDestined combined, and faced Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, Shakkoumon and Silphymon without fearing the outcome of that battle. He withstood any attempts to dislodge him, and only laughed when the kids came up with a plan to open a gate to the Digital World and expell him. He then demonstrated his ability to open a portal himself and repeated that there was no way Ken get away from being captured. To his suprise, however, Ken managed to open a portal to the Dark Ocean, and Imperialdramon intensified his attacks in order to push Daemon in. Daemon only laughed; The DigiDestined believed he would be trapped if they could just get him through that gate, but he knew by himself that he could travel freely from the Dark Ocean as well. He told the DigiDestined he would return before allowing himself to be pushed into the gate.

Daemon during Digimon Adventure 03
Initially, Daemon planned to return from the Dark Ocean immediately. However, when he learned Myotismon had re-emerged in the form of MaloMyotismon, he abandoned his original plan; He would never cooperate with MaloMyotismon, and was uncertain whether he could actually beat him. Fearing a long-lasting stalemate which could only benefit the DigiDestined, Daemon decided to take his time and build up a new and stronger army. As Dragomon was by then the King of the Dark Ocean, Daemon engaged and defeated him and made him his slave. He then crowned himself the King of the Dark Ocean, and made it a bastion to be used as a springboard for his further expansion.

After three years in exile, he launched his long-planned invasion of the Digital World and Earth. Attacking at both fronts at the same time, he forced the DigiDestined to focus on the defense of Earth and thus conquered the Digital World without any stiff resistance. To demonstrate his powers, he confronted the DigiDestined and explained how he had been planning all this all the way since the beginning. He then reminded them about how they failed to beat MaloMyotismon three years ago and heavily relied on the power of the digivices to prevail, and told them that he had ensured they would not be able to pull that trick this time. In a desperate effort, the DigiDestined launched a combined assault where WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon, Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, MagnaAngemon, Angewomon, Zudomon, Lillymon, MegaKabuterimon, Garudamon, Aquilamon and Ankylomon all attacked him at once. Daemon responded by using his Dark Spreader attack, which instantly de-digivolved every one except the stronger of them, namely Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon, MagnaAngemon and Angewomon.

Realizing how crooked the balance of power was in favor of Daemon, the DigiDestined desperately tried to talk sense into him, reminding him of the peace that existed before his lord Apocalymon had "opened Pandora's box", as Angewomon put it. Daemon revealed the whole story to the DigiDestined; How he had used his old master as a useful idiot, and how he had secretly assisted the DigiDestined six years ago. The kids were stunned and speechless, and Daemon, tired of the lack of action, launched the Dark Spreader towards them. The five Digimons who still hadn't de-digivolved had to use their own bodies to block the attacks, de-digivolving in the process. With everyone on rookie level, everything seemed hopeless, and the kids started to discuss the option of surrender. Unlike most of the others, however, T.K. refused to give up and reminded the others of how they had always overcome obstacles in the past, and his view was supported by Kari, Matt and Tai. Angered, Daemon fired his Slash Nail attack at T.K., mortally wounding him. His Crest of Hope suddenly started to glow, and as Daemon prepared to use his Evil Inferno attack which would kill the DigiDestined and burn up everything within a radius of 15 kilometers, Patamon started to glow and warp digivolved into Seraphimon for the first time. To Daemon's shock and dismay, Seraphimon used his Divine Breaker to block his powerful attack and save the DigiDestined. Scared by this unexpected and major change in the balance of power, Daemon called upon his Demon Army, consisting of hundreds of Ultimates and tens of Megas loyal to him, to join the fight. However, Seraphimon's holy light knocked them all out as they were approaching him, and Daemon realized that he was incapable of winning the battle. He concluded that if he couldn't conquer both worlds, he'd rather see them destroyed than restored to their peaceful state. With this in mind, Daemon launched his Apocalypse attack which would reduce both worlds to a burning inferno. Seraphimon, in return, launched his Strike of the Seven Heavens towards Daemon. It hit him and immediately caused him to break down. Before fading away, Daemon reminded the DigiDestined that Apocalypse would still destroy both worlds no matter how they would try to stop it. Seraphimon, considering his own fate as unimportant compared to the fate of two worlds, used his own body to absorb Apocalypse and sacrificed himself to save both worlds and the DigiDestined. Just before fading away and being reduced to a Digi Egg for several years ahead, Seraphimon promised T.K. that he would come back again just like he had done as Angemon on File Island six years ago. As the Digital World was restored to its original state, the other kids rushed around a collapsing T.K; He was mortally wounded, but would survive thanks to the light of Seraphimon. Losing his Digimon for the second time was very hard to swallow, but he understood it was a necessary sacrifice and accepted it.

Daemon during Digimon Adventure - The Golden Digimentals
In the Digital World, death is more than a feeling, but less than "death". When a being dies it either becomes a Digi-egg or, if completely destroyed, continues to live on in a different dimension before they regain their strenght and re-emerge - a process that sometimes can take several decades. In that case, they appear as ghosts when they visit the Digital World, and are fully capable of communicating with their living friends. They don't "die" in the normal definition of the world, but continues to live on in a different world. Some good beings are able to either return from "death" after some time or to be "rescued" by a handful of powerful Digimons.

When Daemon was destroyed by Seraphimon, however, his spirit clung on to life and refused to go to the Underworld in its entirety. Due to his immense powers, he entered a state which he lived on in neither worlds, but something between. While being unable to directly interfere in the Digital World or retaining any of his physical powers there, he was able to directly influence the hearts of Digimons that were possessed by feelings such as fear, anger, hate or jealousy; Thus creating new monsters in his absence. In a way, this new powers of him could become just as dangerous as his old powers, and he was determined to use these powers to get his revenge on good Digimons and the forces of light. Thus, a spiritual battle had begun. Daemon's first victim was Kokomon, an innocent little Digimon who was jealous of his brother Terriermon because he was favored by Willis, their human partner. Daemon used Kokomon's anger to corrupt him with an evil virus, causing him to leave Willis and Terriermon in a furious state. Very soon, he returned as Endigomon and started terrorizing Willis, prompting the intervention of the Davis, Cody and Yolei. In the ensuing clash, Endigomon digivolved to Kerpymon, a ruthless and powerful monster, and easily defeated Halsemon, Flamedramon, Digmon and Gargomon. The way he struck down Gargomon, the Champion form of his very own brother, convinced everyone that there was no way back for Kokomon - he had to be destroyed. Kari and T.K. then arrived at the scene with Angewomon, who attacked Kerpymon with her divine powers. She momentarily succeeded in dislodging Kerpymon due to her advantage against evil digimons, but Daemon intervened from the other side and used his powers to give Kerpymon the ability to heal himself, thus turning the tables once again in favor of Kerpymon. Very soon, Angewomon de-digivolved to Gatomon, and Daemon used his powers to prevent anyone from digivolving again. Nobody understood why they couldn't there and then, but they all realized they were in real trubble. When everything seemed hopeless, a glimpse of Seraphimon suddenly became visible in the skies. Being the only one who were able to defy Daemon's powers, he released the Golden Digi-Eggs before fading away again, thus giving Veemon and Terriermon the ability to become Magnamon and Rapidmon. They were both swallowed by Kerpymon, and met Kokomon's soul inside his body. Being the only part of Kerpymon that was still not corrupted by Daemon, his soul begged them to put him out of his misery as he was unable to stop or control his physical body himself. Reluctantly, Magnamon and Rapidmon unleashed their strongest attacks in the core of Kerpymon's virus, inflicting mortal wounds on him. Just before dying of his wounds, Kerpymon finally returned to his good self and expressed gratitude to the DigiDestined from freeing him, even though it cost him his life. At this point, everyone finally realized that Kerpymon was really the victim, and they all cried as he faded away with tears in his eyes. However, the story is not as tragic as it might sound; On the other side, Kerpymon was greeted by Seraphimon and welcomed to his new home, finally free from death, sorrow and pain.

= Protagonists (sorted by strenght) =

Veemon and Wormmon
Veemon and Wormmon

Imperialdramon Dragon Mode is the first of Veemon and Wormmon's Mega forms, and digivolved from Paildramon. His first action was to beat Triceramon while saving Ken and Davis from a collapsing building at the same time, something he achieved.

Imperialdramon is able to travel in impressive speed, and transported the DigiDestined around the globe when needed. He also confronted the powerful SkullSatamon a bit later, but was quickly defeated by SkullSatamon's Nail Bone. This attack froze his data, and he was unable to move until reinforcements arrived and transferred energy to him.

Imperialdramon DM is a very powerful Digimon with immense abilities, but his size and body shape has proved to be a great handicap in battle. Thus, he is not the fighter one would think he is, which was demonstrated when he didn't do so well against a far smaller Ultimate.

Attacks
 * Positron Laser: Fires a huge laser blast from the cannon on his back.
 * Mega Crusher (Mega Death): Fires a powerful blast from his mouth.



Imperialdramon Fighter Mode made his first appearance after the defeat of Imperialdramon Dragon Mode at the hands of SkullSatamon. With his Positron Laser, he one-shotted SkullSatamon in order to save a busload of children. Imperialdramon also participated in the battle against Daemon, which ended with a unilateral withdrawal by the latter, and against BlackWarGreymon, where he intervened on the side of WarGreymon and helped defeat him. In the end, strengthened by the Digivices, he was the one who ultimately destroyed MaloMyotismon.

Imperialdramon Fighter Mode is arguably the strongest form the DigiDestined has reached, with his formidable fighting machine and impressive battlefield achievements against much stronger villains. However, he is a fully DNA-digivolved Mega and thus considered to have reached his top level, and neither Veemon nor Wormmon are able to reach any high level alone. Patamon is considered to have the greatest potential in the group.

Attacks
 * Positron Laser: Fires a huge blast of positron energy from the cannon on his right arm.
 * Giga Crusher: Transforms the Positron Laser on his arm into a bigger form held by both arms which fires a powerful blast of dark matter on his enemy.

Patamon
Patamon

Angemon is the Champion form of Patamon, and appeared for the first time during the final fight against. Devimon had already defeated the other six DigiDestined and their partner Digimon, and when he attempted to grab T.K., Patamon jumped in front of T.K. and finally digivolved into his Champion form Angemon. In order to defeat Devimon, Angemon used all his power and thus sacrificed himself. He was reborn as a Digi-Egg, eventually hatching to become Patamon again.

Angemon reappeared in the Real World during the battle between and, in which he forced the former to retreat in a seeming moment of victory when he joined the battle.

Angemon is a very powerful Champion Digimon—his primary attack, the Hand of Fate is very effective against Virus Digimon. Even Myotismon (an Ultimate level Digimon) had been unable to dissipate it, (he had been able to dissipate Ultimate-level attacks from the other DigiDestined's Digimon) and (another Ultimate Digimon) was completely destroyed by it. Interestingly, the only Digimon Angemon is unable to defeat are those who are of the Mega level; namely the and  although he was able to hold off Piedmon for a few minutes.

Attacks
 * Hand of Fate: Angemon fires a beam of sacred energy from his fist.
 * Angel Rod: A strike using the staff he carries.
 * Angel Staff: Spins his staff to block incoming attacks.



MagnaAngemon is Patamon's Ultimate form, and appeared when Piedmon, the last of the Dark Masters, had wiped out all the DigiDestined children and their Digimon and turned them into key chains. With all hope seemingly lost, Angemon finally Digivolved into MagnaAngemon and easily overwhelmed Piedmon with his sword Excalibur. Using the Magna Antidote ability, MagnaAngemon restored all the DigiDestined and their Digimon before he finished off Piedmon with his Gate of Destiny. He later played an important role in defeating Apocalymon, taking out one of his deadly claws.

Since Patamon lost the power to become MagnaAngemon when T.K. used the crest power to free the Digimon Sovereigns, MagnaAngemon only makes two brief appearances in Digimon Adventure 02. Angemon used the power of one of the Destiny Stones to digivolve into MagnaAngemon and fight the nearly invincible BlackWarGreymon. He quickly gained the upper hand and nearly destroyed BlackWarGreymon with his Gate of Destiny, but BlackWarGreymon destroyed the Destiny Stone, cutting off MagnaAngemon's power source and causing him to de-digivolve. MagnaAngemon also appeared to fight SkullSatamon, but was beaten due to having been in the Real World for too long. However, he still played a crucial in winning that battle by giving his power to Imperialdramon Dragon Mode, allowing him to become Imperialdramon Fighter Mode; afterwards, he degenerated to Patamon.

MagnaAngemon possesses enough power to fight on par with Mega Digimon, which is unique for any Ultimate. His strenght is estimated to be greater than that of all the other partner Digimon of the eight original DigiDestined combined, which is shown when he defeated Piedmon and almost wiped out BlackWarGreymon with relative ease.

Attacks
 * Gate of Destiny: A large portal that sucks in the enemy Digimon, either destroying them or forcibly transporting them away from the battle scene, taking their powers away in the process.
 * Magna Antidote: A unique all-purpose healing ability.
 * Excalibur: As the holder of the most powerful sword that exists, MagnaAngemon is able to destroy his enemies in a single, powerful strike.

Agumon
Agumon

Greymon is Agumon's Champion form, and made his first appearance when Shellmon attacked Tai, being the first Digimon of the DigiDestined to do so. From there on and until the final battle with Devimon, he participated in two major battles: One against Andromon, where he and Garurumon were beaten and only prevailed after the intervention of Kabuterimon; and one against Unimon, where he and Birdramon tried to defend the DigiDestined, but were overrun and was barely saved by Ikkakumon. He also fought Mojyamon, who he defeated with his Nova Blast. In all three instances, the enemy was under control of black gears.

When facing Devimon in a final confrontation, Greymon took part in a joint attack which also involved Garurumon, Birdramon, Togemon, Kabuterimon and Ikkakumon. However, they were badly beaten and were about to be destroyed when Patamon intervened.

On the continent of Server, Greymon dark digivolved to SkullGreymon after he had lost in a fight with another Greymon and Tai had put much pressure on him. He also fought two Devidramons together with the others at the gate between the different worlds, where he didn't stand a chance but digivolved in the midst of the battle. He briefly fought Phantomon in the Real World, but was soon forced to retreat. His last major battle was against MetalSeadramon, where he and the others suffered a predictable defeat due to the fact that they engaged a Mega.

Greymon does not fare so well in battle, and never achieved anything remarkable. However, the great potential he has with his ability to become a Mega outweighs this by a ton.

Attacks
 * Nova Blast: Fires a giant blast of fire from his mouth to incinerate his enemies.



MetalGreymon is Agumon's Ultimate form, and first Digivolved to battle. Despite his opponent being powered by a Dark Network, MetalGreymon destroyed him with his Giga Blaster.

When ShogunGekomon went on rampage when he was wakened up from his deep sleep, MetalGreymon fought and defeated him together with Togemon and Ikkakumon. He also easily defeated two Devidramons at the gate between the two worlds, and fought a successful battle against SkullMeramon.

When fighting Myotismon in a last, large-scale confrontation, he and the five other Ultimates at that time launched a combined assault, but were all repelled with ease. Myotismon then used his Grizzly Wings, severely mauling all six Ultimates. Luckily, MetalGreymon and the others could still contribute to the fight by giving their energy to Angewomon, who ultimately defeated Myotismon.

MetalGreymon also participated in a brief fight between the DigiDestined and Machinedramon, where they were all easily beaten and de-digivolved despite their numerical advantage. This marked the point where he was no longer usefull in battle, and his main fighting form would from then on be WarGreymon.

Attacks
 * Giga Blaster: Fires two fish-shaped missiles from his chest.
 * Mega Claw: Shoots his "Trident Arm" to slash, stab, or wrap up enemies.



WarGreymon is Agumon's Mega form and is, together with MetalGarurumon, the result of a prophecy leading to 's defeat. It was a hard-fought battle, but the two Megas prevalied with the help of the digivices. WarGreymon defeated two of the Dark Masters, using his Dramon Destroyer to rip apart from within and later to slice  in pieces. He also clashed with MetalGarurumon, but the dispute was eventually solved peacefully.

WarGreymon came short when fighting Piedmon, despite MetalGarurumon fighting on his side, and they were both defeated and turned into keychains. They were eventually restored by MagnaAngemon, and took part in finally defeating Piedmon soon thereafter. WarGreymon also played a key role in defeating Apocalymon, attacking together with MetalGarurumon, and later duelled to a stalemate before defeating him together with.

WarGreymon is a formidable fighter, and has an impressive advantage against Dramon Digimons. However, when faced by foes who possess powers which goes beyond brute force, he may come short if they are very strong, which was the case with Piedmon.

Attacks
 * Terra Destroyer: 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.
 * Brave Shield: Uses his "Brave Shield" to defend.
 * Dramon Destroyer: Slashes his "Dramon Destroyer" gauntlets.

Gabumon
Gabumon

Garurumon is Gabumon's Champion form, and emerged for the first time in order to save Matt from Seadramon. Between that point and the final confrontation with Devimon, he took part in two battles: One against Andromon in Factorial Town, where he was beaten despite being aided by Greymon and barely rescued by Kabuterimon. He also fought Mojyamon, although Greymon bore the brunt of that battle.

When facing Devimon at the foot of Infinity Mountain, Garurumon attacked together with Greymon Garurumon, Birdramon, Togemon, Kabuterimon and Ikkakumon. Despite their numerical advantage, they were easily beaten by the powerful Devimon and were about to be destroyed when Angemon stepped in.

Later, when the DigiDestined had reached the continent of Server, Garurumon, Birdramon and Kabuterimon tried to stop SkullGreymon from going berserk, but SkullGreymon easily defeated them all. Fortunately, he soon de-Digivolved without a fight after using up all his energy.

Attacks
 * Howling Blaster: Spews high-temperature blue flames from his mouth.

WereGarurumon made his first appearance when Digitamamon threathened Matt, defeating him and chasing away his ally, Vegiemon. Later on, in the real world, Gabumon digivolved to WereGarurumon in order to save Matt and T.K. from Myotismon. He proved to be no match for the powerful Myotismon, who nearly killed WereGarurumon before Angemon intervened and saved his life. Myotismon was soon forced to retreat. WereGarurumon also took part in beating Tuskmon and Snimon.

In the final showdown with Myotismon, MetalGarurumon's participation was very limited since he was beaten and thrown off a roof in the very beginning of the battle. Fortunately, he could nevertheless contribute to the defeat of Myotismon by giving his energy to Angewomon.

WereGarurumon is able to move very quickly, but his fighting abilities are entirely focused on close combat and physical contact. Thus, he is easily beaten when faced by enemies with firepower or supernatural powers.

Attacks
 * Wolf Claw: Slashes with his powerful claws, leaving red shockwaves.
 * Garuru Kick: Kicks in a full circle, unleashing a shockwave.

MetalGarurumon is the Mega form of Gabumon and formed the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy where he together with WarGreymon defeated VenomMyotismon. Soon thereafter, he and WarGreymon had their first skirmish with Piedmon, in which they were both easily defeated.

Later, when Matt decided to challenge Tai's position as the leader of the group, he fought an indecisive battle with WarGreymon which was eventually halted by Gennai. Soon after solving the conflict and settling the disagreements within the group, MetalGarurumon defeated Puppetmon, the second of the four Dark Masters, with his Metal Wolf Snout.

Later, MetalGarurumon intervened when Piedmon had nearly killed WarGreymon. He healed WarGreymons wounds and joined the fight, but both of them were quickly defeated and turned into keychains. When they were brought back by MagnaAngemon, he participated in the final battle against Piedmon and contributed to his defeat.

In the great battle between the DigiDestined and Apocalymon, MetalGarurumon and WarGreymon played key roles in destroying their strongest opponent ever, attacking his main body after their allies had neutralized his powerful claws.

MetalGarurumon is a very powerful Digimon, and his strenght is more or less equivalent to that of WarGreymon, his closest friend and ally. The two of them form an excellent partnership in battle, and worked as a triumph cards until the fight with Piedmon, where they finally faced the wall.

Attacks
 * Metal Wolf Claw: Spews a cold wave at absolute zero which completely freezes everything, and brings the victim's vital functions to a screeching halt.
 * Ice Wolf Claw: Launches freezing missiles from all of the weapons hidden throughout his body.
 * Giga Missile: Fires a freezing missile from his chest.
 * Metal Wolf Snout: Fires four energy beams from the four laser sites on his snout.

Veemon
Veemon

Magnamon is the Golden Armor/Ultimate form of Veemon created by the Digi-Egg of Miracles, and is the strongest form he can reach without DNA Digivolving.

Magnamon first appeared to fight Kimeramon, another Ultimate Digimon. He was powerful enough to fight him for a while, but eventually lost his ground. However, Wormmon sacrificed the last of his life force and re-energized Magnamon, who was then able to destroy Kimeramon by using his Magna Explosion attack. Years later, he and Rapidmon got the unpleasant honor of destroying Kerpymon, a good being that was corrupted by Daemon.

Attacks
 * Magna Blast(er): Unleashes a large number of energy bullets or missiles from his body.
 * Magna Explosion: Unleashes a large energy wave from his body.
 * Magnum Punch: A punch attack that results in a small shock wave.
 * Magnum Kick: A simple kick attack.

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, but Matt became deeply upset when he came to believe T.K. didn't need his protection anymore.

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, which he stuck to even when they were falling from a cliff, 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".

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.

List of battles fought in Digimon Adventure 01

 * Turning points are marked in bold
 * Note: "Complicated" usually means that the DigiDestined came out victorious, but not by overpowering their enemies. One example of this is their battle with Andromon in Episode 5, which the DigiDestined can be said to have won by freeing him from a Black Gear, but in which they cannot claim to have defeated Andromon (who clearly had the upper hand until the very end of the battle).
 * Also note: "Destroyed" doesn't necessarily mean "killed"...
