Shoutmon (Fusion)

Shoutmon is one of the main characters in the currently airing Digimon anime, Digimon Xros Wars. It is a member of Taiki Kudou's Xros Heart army. His aim is to become king of the Digital World which with the help of Taiki, he hopes he can accomplish.

Shoutmon can DigiXros with Dorulumon, Ballistamon, and the Starmons to become Shoutmon X4.

Appearance
Shoutmon appears as a small, red dragon with a spiky mouth. He wears headphones around his ears, and his joints appear to be held together by screws.

Description
Shoutmon is the main protector of the Village of Smiles, but he is heavily damaged during battle. Near death, he calls out for anyone who can aid him, and Taiki is the first to respond. When Shoutmon saves them from a falling van, Taiki agrees to help him out, and Shoutmon rests in his new Xros Loader. When MadLeomon attacks the humans with an army, Shoutmon appears with his allies Ballistamon, Starmon, and the Pickmons. Unfortunately, MadLeomon absorbs his allies to become Armed MadLeomon and proceeds to wipe the floor of his opponents, but Taiki uses Digi-Xros to first merge Shoutmon and Ballistamon into an incomplete Shoutmon X3 and then Shoutmon, Starmon, and the Pickmons into Shoutmon + Star Sword, who defeats Armed MadLeomon. Shoutmon then explains to the confused humans that they are in the Digital World and that Taiki would become their General.

After learning, however, that Taiki intends to return home, Shoutmon pulls out all the stops in order to prevent it. He says that he wants to become the Digimon King, but Taiki rejects this dream because he thinks that Shoutmon wants it for himself. He does come to the rescue to protect the humans when MadLeomon appears again with an Orochimon. MadLeomon merged with Orochimon into MadLeomon (Orochi Mode) and then analyzes that Shoutmon is fast but has no tactical ability, so he beats down both him and Ballistamon. Shoutmon then reveals that he wants to be the Digimon King to protect his village, so Taiki has no regrets in aiding him now. Taiki digi-Xroses Shoutmon and Ballistamon to Shoutmon X2 who, with the help of Starmon and the Pickmons, defeats MadLeomon.

Attacks
 * Rock Damashī (ロックダマシー): Forms a ball of energy in the shape of an eighth note and throws it at the opponent.
 * Soul Crusher: Uses its mic to amplify the energy of the heated emotions blazing within its chest, then bashes the opponent. Because passion is the very source of the attack, it will definitely inflict damage no matter the target.

He attempts to attack MadLeomon, but Taiki fakes MadLeomon out with a bungee maneuver, which opens him up for Shoutmon X2 to fire a blast and defeat MadLeomon.

When Xros Heart arrives at the Island Zone, Shoutmon and Ballistamon digiXros into Shoutmon X2 in order to fight off a Baguara Army platoon of Gizamon. This time, the Starmons also digiXros into the Star Axe, which Shoutmon X2 wields. Later on, the Digimon again separately digiXros into Shoutmon X2 and the Star Axe to fight the Bagura Army's Octomon.
