Agumon (Data Squad)

Agumon is a fictional character from the Digimon media franchise. He is the digimon partner of Marcus Damon (Masaru Daimon in the Japanese version) and a main character in the Digimon Data Squad anime series.

Appearance
This Agumon has a slightly different design to the original Agumon in Digimon Adventure. He is taller, with more teeth, longer claws, wider forearms and red training bracers. Where Digimon Adventure's Agumon had well-defined nostrils and pectoral muscles, this Agumon has just two oval-shaped holes on the front of his muzzle and a flat chest. He is also much larger than previous Agumon, being almost as tall as a human adolescent.

A mistake can be seen occasionally where he has the original number of teeth of an Agumon.

Description
Agumon adores his partner Marcus, and considers himself to be "Marcus's employee" (follower in the original). He even refers to Marcus as his "Boss" ("Aniki" in original, meaning "brother" literally but meaning "boss" according to the Yakuza, therefore having the same connotations).

In the first episode of the English dub, he is referred to by the code-name of Raptor-1 by DATS.

This Agumon in particular holds true to the given description of a common Agumon being somewhat aggressive.

Being the main digimon character in the series, Agumon is always the first amongst the partner digimon to reach a new level. Unlike the other partner digimon in Digimon Data Squad, Agumon was easily accepted into Marcus' family when he was discovered, and is even given free reign of the Damon household.

Although Yoshi tells Marcus that Digimon can only eat special Digimon food, Agumon tends to eat practically anything, including Marcus's mother Sarah's fried eggs. Agumon's obsession with eating sometimes results in comical moments when Agumon (or Koromon, in one situation) attempts to eat Marcus's head.

In the final episode, Marcus' DNA gives Agumon a new appearance. An outline of a dragon surrounds him, and he is given fiery bird-like wings and a dragon-like tail. In addition, Marcus can ride him, using straps attached to Agumon's wristbands to control his movements. Whether this is a super charge of Marcus' DNA or a new digivolution stage is unknown. Fans like to refer to him as "Agumon Burst Mode".

Attacks
 * Pepper Breath (Baby Flame): Agumon shoots an orange fireball of varying strength from his mouth.
 * Spitfire Blast (Baby Burner): This attack uses a more powerful stream of fire than Pepper Breath.

Other forms
The name "Agumon" refers only to the Rookie form of this Digimon. Throughout the series, Agumon gains the ability to Digivolve into a number of more powerful forms, each with a different name and special attack. However, the Rookie level is his preferred one and the one he spends most of his time in.

Koromon
Koromon is Agumon's In-Training form. The name "Koromon" derives from the Japanese word "Korokoro", meaning “something small, round, and rolling.” He is a pink, ball-shaped Digimon with floppy ears, bright-red eyes and sharp teeth. He is approximately a foot tall.

Agumon appears once in this form during the fight against Belphemon after hatching and attempts to eat Masaru's head.

Attacks 
 * Bubble Blow (Acid Bubbles): Fires harmless pink bubbles from his mouth.



"Agumon Burst Mode"
This unnamed form is only seen against Yggdrasil, using which Agumon and Masaru Daimon were able to destroy Yggdrasil in its true form. Like ShineGreymon Burst Mode, he glows a fiery red. He also grows a fiery bird-like tail and wings. Though no official name has been released, it is documented here as "Agumon Burst Mode" due to its aura akin to ShineGreymon Burst Mode's.

GeoGreymon


GeoGreymon is Agumon's Champion level form. GeoGreymon's appearance is similar to Greymon, but with red markings on the sides of his helmet and arms, a more well-defined chest, a longer tail, and different body markings.

GeoGreymon first appears during Agumon and Masaru's fight against a large Kokatorimon. This is when Masaru activated his Digi-Soul for the first time. Masaru was given his Digivice iC, and with it, he was able to help Agumon digivolve into GeoGreymon for the first time. GeoGreymon is often replaced by one of his digivolved forms so this form is used less and less in battle. His spirit is transferred into the GeoGrey sword in combination with Masaru Daimon's DNA to aid his mega form ShineGreymon.

Attacks 
 * Mega Flame: A steady stream of flames is spewed forth from GeoGreymon's mouth.
 * Mega Burst: GeoGreymon forcefully ejects a powerful blast of energy from his mouth.
 * Horn Impulse: A powerful, high-speed smash with his head.
 * Flaming Tornado: A twin attack with Gaogamon. GeoGreymon fires his Mega Flame and Gaogamon fires his Spiral Blow techniques at just the right angle, causing them to fuse together. Although there is no official name for this technique, Masaru/Marcus refers to it as a flaming tornado.



RizeGreymon


RizeGreymon is Agumon's Perfect Level. RiseGreymon first appears during the fight against Garudamon. Masaru's own frustration over the uneasiness of his friends and family caused him to evoke the power GeoGreymon needed to digivolve into RiseGreymon. RizeGreymon is the Data Squad's equivalent of Tai's MetalGreymon, featuring similar aspects.

Attacks 
 * Trident Revolver: RizeGreymon fires three laser bullets from his revolver.
 * Rising Destroyer: RizeGreymon fires a barrage of beams from the six guns on his wings and the two on his chest.
 * Solid Strike: RizeGreymon charges at his enemies using his revolver to deliver a finishing blow.

ShineGreymon


ShineGreymon is Agumon's Ultimate Level. ShineGreymon is first seen during the fight against Kurata's group of BioDigimon. Marcus' DNA super-powered RizeGreymon, causing a silhouette of ShineGreymon to appear around RiseGreymon. ShineGreymon was properly introduced in the next episode, along with MirageGaogamon and Rosemon after the Digimon Data Squad team learns how to harness this new power. ShineGreymon is crucial in Belphemon's defeat and Akihiro Kurata's downfall. He wields the Geogrey sword (similar to WarGreymon's Dramon Destroyers)

Attacks 
 * Glorious Burst: Spreads his enormous wings and fires the light energy which he has concentrated to the utmost limit.
 * Shining Blast: Uses the light shining from his wings to mow down the enemy.
 * GeoGrey Sword: Summons the "GeoGrey Sword" from the underground to attack, though it must first be released by Marcus (Masaru)'s DNA with the Digivice Burst.



ShineGreymon Ruin Mode


ShineGreymon Ruin Mode is said to be the corrupted form of his Burst Mode.

The first time ShineGreymon changed mode, it was into Ruin Mode, a corrupted version of the true Burst Mode. This occurred during ShineGreymon's battle with MirageGaogamon when Marcus' dark emotions, fueled by his belief that his friend Thomas turned on them and joined Kurata, caused ShineGreymon to go through Burst Digivolution. ShineGreymon Ruin Mode went out of control until it regressed back to a Digi-Egg (which later hatches into Agumon's In-Training form, Koromon).

Attacks 
 * Glorious Burst: Spreads his enormous wings and fires the light energy which he has concentrated to the utmost limit.
 * Shining Blast: Uses the light shining from his wings to mow down the enemy.
 * Torrid Weiss (lit. "Blazing White"): Repeatedly fires scorching hot flame-bullets.

ShineGreymon Burst Mode


ShineGreymon Burst Mode is the Burst Digivolved form of ShineGreymon.

Marcus manages to activate ShineGreymon's true Burst Mode again later in the battle against Belphemon, this time, ShineGreymon properly transforms into his Burst Mode and manages to defeats Belphemon. Marcus activates his D.N.A. again during the DATS team's first encounter with the Royal Knights, allowing ShineGreymon to enter his Burst Mode again. However, this time, he is defeated by Gallantmon. He appeared later on facing the Royal Knight Craniamon in a one on one duel and was losing until the rest of the DATS arrived to jointly defeat the Knight. He last appeared in the final confrontation against King Drasil along with the other DATS Digimon.

Attacks 
 * Corona Blaze Sword: Combines his flame shield and sword into a new, far more powerful sword.
 * Final Shining Burst: Uses every last bit of his power to create a great explosion.
 * Torrid Weiss (lit. "Blazing White"): Repeatedly fires scorching hot flame-bullets.
