Seven Great Demon Lords

The Seven Great Demon Lords (七大魔王) are a group of Demon Lord Digimon who 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. They are based on various demons from within Judeo-Christian mythology, most notably Paradise Lost by John Milton and Clavicula Solomonis Regis, an anonymous 17th-century grimoire. There are also three "Super Demon Lords" who are closely related to the group. These Digimon are based on the Beasts of Revelation, and evolve from the Seven Great Demon Lords. The data of Digimon consigned to oblivion by the Seven Great Demon Lords is not reincarnated, but is sent to the center of the Dark Area, and becomes the flesh and blood of the Demon Lords.

Although members of this group, as well as characters of the same species, have appeared individually as antagonists throughout the Digimon franchise, there are only a few occasions in which they appear as a whole. In Digimon Savers, the villain Belphemon is mentioned as one of their number, and they serve as the main villains of the spin-off video game, Digimon World Data Squad, as well as the simultaneously-released Digimon World DS. They are also prominently portrayed throughout the media for the Digimon card games, and are the antagonists for the Digimon Twin virtual pet, in which they secretly release a crack program named "Tempest" into the Digital World, causing many Digimon to go on a rampage. As of now, Leviamon is the only member who has yet to appear in either the Digimon anime or manga.

Crests
Each of the Seven Great Demon Lords possesses a unique "Crest" (紋章) displayed in one of the seven colors of the visible spectrum. Each depicts one of the seals of the "Seven Olympian Spirits", a group of mythological entities who, under God, ruled over the 196 provinces of Heaven and presided over the natural world for 490 years each. Each Olympian Spirit is associated with a heavenly body, also depicted on the Crest.

Within the space between the two concentric circles is text stating a designated Level (this is "666" for all the crests, a reference to the "Number of the Beast" mentioned in the Book of Revelation), System (the demon that traditionally represents the Demon Lord's respective sin), and Code (the Demon Lord's respective sin). At the bottom of the inner circle is text which specifies a caution for a Purgatory Level ranging between 1 and 7, corresponding to the arrangement of Purgatory within Dante Alighieri's La Divina Commedia.

The structure of the text is in the following format:


 * LEVEL:___ SYSTEM:___ CODE:___ (repeated twice)
 * CAUTION! PURGATORY LEVEL ___

The seven Crests also appear together as the "Crown of the Seven Deadly Sins", worn by both Lucemon Shadowlord Mode and Ogudomon, and appear as seals upon the "Gate of Deadly Sins". In Digimon World Data Squad, the individual Crests appear upon "Code Keys", mystical cards which can be used to transform a child suffering from a deadly sin into the respective Demon Lord.

Gate of Deadly Sins
The Gate of Deadly Sins (大罪の門) is engraved with the seals of the seven deadly sins. It is currently unknown what its purpose is.

Belphemon, along with the other Demon Lords, almost brought ruin to the Digital World long time ago. However, he was sealed deep inside an ancient ruin in the Digital World. Professor Akihiro Kurata finds Belphemon's Digi-Egg and brings it to the real world at some point in time. He nurtures the Digi-Egg that eventually hatches into Belphemon Sleep Mode. Kurata's plan is to use Belphemon as his ultimate weapon to conquer both the Digital World and Real World.

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 materials, and "Lucemon Modo Cain" in Spanish materials. 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 Megas, 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 defeats both EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon, destroys the three moons of the Digital World, and begins opening a portal to the Human World. Lucemon reveals that he is unstoppable in his Chaos Mode since he is able to combine the powers of Light and Darkness. Koichi Kimura, understanding what Lucemon says, sacrifices himself and gives his Spirits of Darkness to his brother Koji Minamoto. This results in the birth of Susanoomon. At first, it seems even he is no match for Lucemon, but when Lucemon tries to finish him off with his Ultimate Sacrifice, Susanoomon is able to survive it by separating into Takuya and Koji and then reforming. Susanoomon is then able to destroy Lucemon Chaos Mode with his Celestial Blade attack. However, Susanoomon can only scan part of Lucemon's data, the good side, and the evil data reforms itself into a dark Digi-Egg which hatches into Lucemon Shadowlord Mode.

Leviamon
Leviamon is a Demon Lord Digimon whose name and design are derived from the mythological Leviathan. One of the "Seven Great Demon Lords", it represents Mercury and the sin of Envy.

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.

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 before it fell to the Dark Area and became a Demon Lord Digimon, 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".

When it awakens, it regains its natural shape and changes into an incarnation of rage, and anything that enters its field of vision becomes a target for destruction. It is said that just by suffering Belphemon Rage Mode's roar, Ultimate Digimon and below will have their data disintegrated and will instantly die, and not even Mega Digimon can escape unharmed.

Digimon Data Squad
After Thomas double-crosses Kurata and destroys the device he was using to control Belphemon Sleep Mode, Kurata is forced to transform himself into data and merge with Belphemon, taking control over the Digimon's body and transforming it into Belphemon Rage Mode.

Soon after, Thomas comes to join the fight, with Marcus Damon on his way as well. MirageGaogamon faces off against Belphemon only to be stomped on. He might have been finished if Rosemon didn't seized Belphemon's arm. Belphemon Rage Mode blocks the attacks shot by Rosemon and defeats Crowmon, who reverts back to Falcomon. Through Keenan Crier's rage, Falcomon double warp digivolves to Ravemon and attacks Belphemon but is unable to do anything more than anger him. Belphemon launches an attack at Marcus and Thomas, which Ravemon blocks. Soon, Kurata loses control of Belphemon, whose only goal is destruction. Marcus's Digi-Egg hatches and digivolves from Koromon to Agumon.

Once Agumon digivolves into ShineGreymon, Kurata's face emerges from Belphemon's chest and startes to drain electricity from the city to cause Belphemon Rage Mode to grow and swallow a number of space oscillation devices to give it the power to tear rifts between both worlds, threatening to bring both worlds crashing together. He defeats RookChessmon and BishopChessmon, who revert back to the two PawnChessmon. ShineGreymon digivolves into Burst Mode and destroys Belphemon Rage Mode, with help from Marcus' D.N.A. going straight through Belphemon Rage Mode's chest, where Kurata's face is.

Residing within the heart of the Dark Area, the den of demons, it manipulates Fallen Angel Digimon to carry out evil to its limit. It is obsessed with all of the treasure which exists within the Network, so out of avarice, and regardless of the means, it has a cruel personality with a greed that would kill Digimon just for a piece of treasure. It is the foremost and most cunning schemer of the Seven Great Demon Lords, and can easily manipulate the Mega Ghoulmon in addition to Fallen Angel Digimon.

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 creates the Commandments and recruites Shou Kahara and Peckmon, who have the Bird Digimemory.

As a member of the Seven Great Demon Lords, he forces himself into System World and confronts Yggdrasil on the policies of "Art" Digimon, Digimon born with Tamers. Upon deciding that revolution is in order, Barbamon merges with Yggdrasil and became the host computer itself. He fights 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.

It possesses its favorite shotgun "Berenjena", and rides on the gigantic motorcycle-type machine, "Behemoth". Although its personality is cruel and merciless, it is also exceedingly prideful, so it would never attack the weak.

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.

Ogudomon
Ogudomon is an Incarnation Digimon whose name is derived from the mythological Ogdoad, eight Egyptian deities who were counterbalanced by gender and element, and whose design is derived from the First Beast of Revelation. It is a grotesque "Super Demon Lord" that has seven legs, each with an eye beneath it and a sword pierced through the knee which bears one of the seals of the Seven Deadly Sins, as well as an eighth eye on its face. As it includes the whole of the Digital World's sins, and is a mysterious incarnation with the ability to atone for them all, the power of a Digimon with even a small amount of malice is offset, making it impossible for it to defeat Ogudomon. Like Lucemon Shadowlord Mode, it carries the Crowns of the Seven Deadly Sins upon its head.

Battle Terminal 02
Ogudomon makes its debut in Digimon Battle Terminal 02, as the DNA digivolved form of any two of the Seven Great Demon Lords.

Belphemon Sleep Mode
Belphemon Sleep Mode is a Demon Lord Digimon whose name is derived from the mythological Belphegor, and whose design is derived from the Second Beast of Revelation. It resembles a cuter baby version of his Rage Mode. In this form, an alarm clock is bound around his body by chains, and a green energy aura surrounds his body.

Digimon Data Squad
Before the events of the series, 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 succeeds at by destroying and collecting the life energy of the massive ElDradimon.

Believing he has successfully brought Thomas H. Norstein to his cause, Kurata uses the "Digimon control device" Thomas had made for him to command Belphemon. However, during Belphemon's attack, Thomas double-crosses Kurata, and destroys the control device, forcing Kurata to make another gambit. He seemingly transforms himself into data and merges with Belphemon, taking control over the Digimon's body and transforming it into Belphemon Rage Mode.

Attacks
 * Eternal Nightmare: Yawns and releases a powerful wave of destruction.
 * Lampranthus: Release a powerful wave of infernal flames of his chains, destroying everything in his path.



Lucemon Shadowlord Mode
Lucemon Shadowlord Mode is a Demon God Digimon whose name and design are derived from the mythological Lucifer, the angelic name of Satan, with "Luce", "Shadowlord", and "Satan" as a reference to that name. Having the appearance of the dragon of Revelation, it is Lucemon's final form. As was told in the Revelation, it carries the Crowns of the Seven Deadly Sins upon its head, and it holds the globe of darkness, "Gehenna", which absorbs all attacks. Before the Gehenna all attacks are nullified, and it is said that the world will perish when Lucemon takes this form. However, Lucemon's true form (Lucemon Larva) exists within the Gehenna, and Shadowlord Mode is no more than Lucemon's reflection. Therefore, no matter how many times Shadowlord Mode is attacked, those attacks will not reach the true form, Lucemon Larva.

Digimon Frontier
Lucemon Shadow Lord Mode is the Mega form of Lucemon Chaos Mode. After Lucemon's holy data is scanned by Susanoomon, his dark data absorbs the power of the Dark Area. This Digimon represents the destruction of the Digital World and carries the crests of the Seven Great Demon Lords on his wings. It turns out that this creature is merely a puppet, controlled by Lucemon's true mega form, Lucemon Larva, residing in the miniature, spherical version of the Dark Area; the Gehenna, Hebrew for Hell. Without the Lucemon Larva controlling it, it will go berserk and attack everything in sight.

In this final form, Lucemon is able to enter the Real World. His powers of regeneration allow him to simply shrug off all the attacks from the DigiDestined. By believing in their own power, the DigiDestined form Susanoomon once more and are able to drag Lucemon Shadowlord Mode back into the Digital World. Lucemon destroys what little is left of the Digital World before it is separated from the Larva Lucemon. Thus uncontrolled, it begins a destructive rampage, but Susanoomon finally defeats it.

Digimon World Data Squad
Lucemon Shadowlord Mode is the final boss of the game, known in game as Demon Lord (超魔王). Unlike in Frontier, he is not controlled by Lucemon Larva. This is also the only Digimon whose digivolution cannot be unlocked; however, he does digivolve from Lucemon Chaos Mode.
