Seven Great Demon Lords

The Seven Great Demon Lords (七大魔王) is a fictional group from the Digimon media franchise. This group includes seven powerful Digimon who share the "Demon Lord" type and each represent one of the seven deadly sins. This group is also known as the "Mao" in Digimon World Data Squad, which simply means "Demon Lords" in Japanese, though pronounced as one syllable instead of two.

While the Digimon which make it up are antagonists throughout the series, they rarely appear together or actually as part of the group. However, they are mentioned in Digimon Savers and the Digimon card games, and the entire group are primary antagonists in Digimon World Data Squad and Digimon World DS. So far, Leviamon and Lilithmon are the only two Demon Lords which have appeared in neither the anime or the manga.

Crests

Residing within the heart of the Dark Area, the den of demons, it manipulates Fallen Angel Digimon to carry out evil to its limit.

Digimon Next
Barbamon is the Demon Lord who has taken over the Host Computer Yggdrasil in the System World, where he now makes his base. He aims to take over the Digital World by obtaining all the DigiMemories for the future of Digimon, NEO, already having the Dark Digimemory. For that purpose, he created the Commandments and recruited Shou Kahara and Peckmon, who have the Bird Digimemory.

As a member of the Seven Great Demon Lords, he forced himself into System World and confronted Yggdrasil on the policies of "Art" Digimon, Digimon born with Tamers. Upon deciding that revolution was in order, Barbamon merged with Yggdrasil and became the host computer itself. He fought Tsurugi Tatsuno but is killed when VictoryGreymon destroys him. His last act is to give his gathered Digimemories to NEO, giving him consciousness.

Barbamon appears one last time when the other Digimemory holders restrain NEO; his Dark Digimemory imprinted with his consciousness gives NEO the ability to attack Tsurugi and Yuu Inui, only to have his own Commandments turn on him.

Belphemon Rage Mode
Belphemon is a Demon Lord Digimon whose name and design are derived from the demon Belphegor.

Belphemon is the Demon Lord of Sloth, and is usually sealed within his teddy-bear-like "Sleep Mode". Every 1000 years, he awakens into his "Rage Mode", in which his features are more animalistic and predatory, and he takes the form of a giant, multi-winged monster. The chains that bound him in Sleep Mode are wrapped around his arms, and an energy aura surrounds parts of his body.

Digimon Data Squad
In events before the series began, Akihiro Kurata discovered a temple, inside he found a door bearing the crest of courage, upon entering he found a chest containing a Digi-Egg that would later hatch and digivolve into Belphemon Sleep Mode. Kurata then began a campaign to revive Belphemon by collecting "Digimon life energy", and thereby conquer both the human world and the Digital World - a task he succeeded at by destroying and collecting the life energy of the massive ElDradimon.

Believing he had successfully brought Thomas H. Norstein to his cause, Kurata used the "Digimon control device" Thomas had made for him to command Belphemon. But then, during Belphemon's attack, Thomas betrayed Kurata, and destroyed the control device, forcing Kurata to make another gambit. He seemingly transformed himself into data, and merged with Belphemon, taking control over the Digimon's body and transforming it into Belphemon Rage Mode.

Soon after, Thomas came to join the fight, with Marcus Damon on his way as well. MirageGaogamon faced off against Belphemon only to be stomped on. He would've been finished if Rosemon hadn't seized Belphemon's arm. He blocked the attacks shot by Rosemon and defeated Crowmon, who reverted back to Falcomon. Through Keenan Crier's rage, Falcomon Double Warp Digivolved to Ravemon and attacked Belphemon but was unable to do anything more than anger him. Belphemon launched an attack at Marcus and Thomas which was blocked by Ravemon. Soon, Kurata lost control of Belphemon, whose only goal is simply destruction. Marcus' Digi-Egg hatched and digivolved from Koromon to Agumon.

Once Agumon Digivolved into ShineGreymon, Kurata's face emerged from Belphemon's chest and started to drain electricity from the city to cause Belphemon Rage Mode to grow and swallow a number of space oscillation devices to give the Digimon the power to tear rifts between both worlds, threatening to bring both worlds crashing together. He defeated RookChessmon and BishopChessmon, who reverted back to the two PawnChessmon. ShineGreymon digivolved into Burst Mode and destroyed Belphemon Rage Mode, with help from Marcus' D.N.A. going straight through Belphemon Rage Mode's chest, where Kurata's face was.

Despite the fact that, normally, Belphemon's Sleep Mode is not considered a member, the voice over for Belphemon Sleep Mode includes it as one.

One of the "Seven Great Demon Lords", it represents Jupiter and the sin of Wrath. It leads the many Demon and Fallen Angel Digimon, and like Devimon it was originally an Angel Digimon, and a particularly high-ranked one. It is said that it was in fact a Seraphimon. However, in response to a being of goodness in the Digital World (possibly the creator of the Digital World), it raged in fury and rebellion, and so was deleted to the Dark Area. It has vowed to one day conquer the Digital World, in revenge against the being of goodness. Also, while it led the rebellion, and was the strongest among the Ultimates, it plotted to secretly revive the "Super-Ultimate Digimon".

It is later revealed that it was created from former DATS member Misaki Nitta and a "Code Key of Wrath" card. It is later destroyed by Tsukasa Kagura.

Leviamon
Leviamon is a Demon Lord Digimon whose name and design are derived from the mythological Leviathan, the demonic sea monster in the Torah. One of the "Seven Great Demon Lords", it represents Mercury and the sin of Envy. Called the "Devil Beast" out of terror of the exceedingly mighty power that it possesses, it is the strongest monster existing in the Digital World. This extensive monster, said to possess gigantic jaws which could guzzle even the Digital World, is reported to sleep in the depths of the Net Ocean nearest to the Dark Area, and if it is awakened it will despise any Digimon at the top, and will run away even from Angel Digimon, much less other Demon Lord Digimon. However, as the existence of the limits on Digimon are decoded, its own appears similar to nothingness, and it is said that it builds the foundation for the existence of wickedness in the Digital World.

Lilithmon
Lilithmon is a Demon Lord Digimon whose name and design are derived from the mythological Lilith, the demonic first wife of Adam in the Talmud. One of the "Seven Great Demon Lords", it has the appearance of a woman and represents the Moon and the sin of Lust. It is thought that it was originally an Ophanimon, but it fell from heaven and eventually became known as the "Goddess of Darkness". It confounds its opponents with its bewitchingly lovely appearance, and it is said that those who are taken in by its temptations are invariably granted death. Its reputation as the "Goddess of Darkness" is appropriate, as it is tolerant to wickedness, but offers only cold-hearted inhumanity to goodness. The demonic "Nazar Nail" on its right arm corrodes everything it touches.

Lilithmon was created from Yuma Kagura and the "Code Key of Lust" card. She insults and then fights Yoshino, but after the DATS team defeats her, Yuma and the card return to normal.

Lucemon Chaos Mode
Lucemon Chaos Mode is a Demon Lord Digimon whose name and design are derived from the mythological Lucifer, the angelic name of Satan, with "Luce" and "Falldown" as a reference to that name. It is sometimes referred to as "Lucemon Fallen Mode" in American Bandai products. One of the "Seven Great Demon Lords", it represents the Sun and the sin of Pride. It is the strongest of the group, and possesses both the divine and the diabolic. It instigated a rebellion in the far-flung past, and so it was sealed in the Dark Area along with many other Demon Lord Digimon. Its power exceeds that of Ultimates, and is said to rival that of the existence called "God" as well. It has a contradictory existence, in that one side of it loves all things, as God does, while the other is trying to destroy the whole world, as the Devil does. Hence, once it destroys this world, it intends to create a fresh new world.

Digimon Frontier
Lucemon digivolves into Lucemon Chaos Mode after consuming the data of the Royal Knights Dynasmon and Crusadermon. In this new form, Lucemon easily defeated both EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon, destroyed the 3 moons of the Digital World, and begun opening a portal to the Human World. Lucemon revealed that he was unstoppable in his Chaos Mode since he is able to combine the powers of Light and Darkness. Koichi Kimura, understanding what Lucemon said, sacrificed himself and gave his Spirits of Darkness to his brother Koji. This resulted in the birth of Susanoomon. At first, it seemed even he was no-match for Lucemon, but when Lucemon tried to finish him off with his "Ultimate Sacrifice" attack, his was able to survive it by separating into Takuya Kanbara and Koji Minamoto and then reforming. Susanoomon was then able to destroy Lucemon Chaos Mode with his Celestial Blade attack. However, Susanoomon was only able to scan part of Lucemon's data - only the good data was scanned, and the evil data reformed itself into a dark Digi-Egg which hatched into Lucemon Shadowlord Mode.

Digimon World Data Squad

After being defeated, Lucemon Chaos Mode digivolved to the Demon Lord form, the final boss, only to be defeated once more.
