J. P. Shibayama

J. P. Shibayama, known in the Japanese version as J. P. Shibayama (柴山 純平) is a main character in the Digimon anime series Digimon Frontier. In this series, a group of chosen human children where given the ability to turn into Digimon.

Description
J.P. is the oldest member of the group, and was the one who was chosen to wield the "Spirits of Thunder". This allows J.P. to use AncientBeetlemon's power to turn into two Digimon forms which use mainly electricity attacks.

At the start of the series, J.P. shows some jealousy towards Takuya Kanbara, the main character of this series for being Tommy Himi's hero and being able to combine both of his Digimon forms into one more powerful form. He also shows feelings for Zoe Orimoto, the only female of the group. His interest in Zoe is never returned because she has a crush on Takuya Kanbara starting from near the mid eps, but they do become closer as the series progresses. J.P. also seems to have a hidden fear of being alone - despite being constantly surrounded by people when he was in the real world, he felt that he had never really been anyone's real friend.

This fear spawned some rather obnoxious behaviour in the earlier parts of the series. As the series progresses, J.P. learns to confront his fears, and begins to see the other members of the group as real friends. He also overcomes the jealousy he feels towards Takuya.

Digimon forms
J.P. wields AncientBeetlemon's power through the "Spirit of Thunder". Both of the spirits of thunder are transferred to Koji, so that he could become MagnaGarurumon.

Beetlemon


J.P. becomes this Digimon when he uses the Human Spirit of Thunder. Beetlemon is a large humanoid digimon who has a large horn on his head. He is capable of flight, and is covered in a blue and yellow armor-like exoskeleton. The armor plates just above his knees bear the insignia of AncientBeetlemon.

Beetlemon is significantly larger than the other digimon formed from Human Spirit digivolutions, and appears to have more raw, non-elemental strength. Beetlemon first appeared while the group was at the Wind Factory. Snimon, and his Goblimon had been using the spirit as a power source. After J.P. received it, he digivolved into Beetlemon and scanned the Snimon.

 Attacks
 * Lightning Blitz: Beetlemon's horn emits a powerful electric charge.
 * Thunder Fist (Thor Hammer): A powerful electrified punch is launched at the enemy.
 * Proton Slam (Mjolnir Thunder): Beetlemon tackles the enemy while his body is charged with electricity.



MetalKabuterimon


This is the form J.P. assumes when he uses the Beast Spirit of Thunder. MetalKabuterimon's entire body is covered in armor, and has two cannons form arms and one larger cannon on his head. The larger cannon on his head is able to open up to reveal a power gauge for his "Electron Cannon" attack. Of all the Beast Spirit Digimon, MetalKabuterimon is the second largest (beaten by Sakkakumon). Although his "Electron Cannon" attack is slow to fire, it is one of the most powerful attacks belonging to the Spirit Digimon. MetalKabuterimon first appears when J.P. acquired its spirit from a Whamon.

 Attacks
 * Bolo Thunder (Ultimate Thunder): MetalKabuterimon releases from both his arms energy that resembles a two-weight bola.
 * Electron Cannon (Field Destroyer): A powerful electric blast that can be fired from the distance. This attack requires a brief charging period.

Susanoomon
Susanoomon is created when all twenty spirits left by the Ancient Warriors are fused together, and possesses the combined powers of all 10 Legendary Warriors. The name "Susanoomon" comes from the Shinto Storms God Susanoo.

When Koichi sacrificed himself to save the others from Lucemon Chaos Mode, he gave his Spirits of Darkness to his brother Koji. Takuya and Koji then brought all twenty Spirits together and became Susanoomon. Later on, in the real world, all five children (Takuya, Koji, J.P, Tommy and Zoe) fused to form Susanoomon again, this time to stop Lucemon Shadow Lord Mode from entering the human world. In this second fight against Lucemon, Susanoomon and was able to penetrate the shadow-sphere where Lucemon Larva was hiding. In the final battle, Susanoomon managed to shatter the shadow-sphere, destroy Lucemon Shadow Lord Mode, and then split into the 10 separate Legendary Warriors and destroyed Lucemon for good.

 Attacks
 * Celestial Blade (Amanohabakiri): Susanoomon fires a blade of energy from his sword that can be used to cut his enemies in two.
 * Heaven's Thunder (Yakusanoikazuchi): Susanoomon creates clouds which fire enormous bolts of energy down onto his enemies
