Royal Knights

The Royal Knights are a group of thirteen Mega-level Holy Knight Digimon that are the Digital World's sacred guardians, and are famed among Digimon as guardian deities of the Computer Network. The group was founded by Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, and serves King Drasil. Because the Royal Knights are assigned the highest rank of Network Security, it is absolutely impossible to violate Security in their presence. Based on a certain "Prophecy" handed down from the ancient Digital World, it is said that the Royal Knights will assemble at the time of the Digital World's greatest crisis. King Drasil gathered the Royal Knights in order to manage the world, and it seems that its will will eventually lead the Royal Knights to cross Servers to the Digital World: Iliad Server and meet the Olympos XII face-to-face.

Most of the Royal Knights are Human Digimon, although there are a few with bestial forms. Like historical knights, some of the Royal Knights are the lords of other types of Digimon, although they are all subservient to King Drasil. Furthermore, each of the Royal Knights possesses a dogma that it believes in. Many of the Royal Knights also have alternate Modes or X-Antibody forms, which are generally still considered Royal Knights. The group has a natural rivalry with the Seven Great Demon Lords.

All Knightmon are presided over by their monarch, Crusadermon. Knightmon is a Digimon that exists to faithfully serve its master, and its personality is deeply loyal. For that reason, it is in distress over becoming either wicked or righteous, depending on its master's attribute, in order to follow through on those convictions.

Hackmon had encountered Gankoomon, who saw in it the makings of the thirteenth Royal Knight, and decided to temper the Rookie Digimon with frequent, rigorous trials, in order to pass on its own title as a Royal Knight to Hackmon. BaoHuckmon, continuing its training, accumulating combat experience cultivated through battle with formidable opponents, and digivolving as it battles. Its aspirations to the Royal Knights have risen as it grew, and not because it was told what it should do by someone and set its heart on it, but instead because it believes in making decisions by observing and reasoning for itself. SaviorHuckmon is a form of BaoHuckmon which repeatedly met and parted with Digimon over its long journey, lived through many scenes of carnage, and digivolved. It militarily intervenes in the strife that occurs incessantly throughout the Digital World, seeking ceasefires, and has brought aid to the Digimon on-site who have suffered harm. Jesmon exceeded the perfection shining from the crystal in SaviorHuckmon's chest, assumed its ultimate form, and acquired the title of a "Royal Knight". It is said that rather than acting independently, it makes a coordinated response with nearby Digimon and the Sistermons, and its operation as a team relies on the others, which is rare even for the Royal Knights, because it doesn't have overconfidence in itself.

A long time ago, Gankoomon saved the Sistermon sisters just as they were going to collapse from exhaustion from being out on the streets. In order to pass on its own title as a Royal Knight to Hackmon, it assigns it rigorous trials, and entrusts Hackmon's training to the Sistermon sisters who are accompanying it on the journey; in order to repay Gankoomon for saving them, Sistermon Blanc puts all of its effort into being a chaperone for Hackmon. Unlike its sisters, Sistermon Ciel wanders the Digital World investigating abnormalities and reporting what it finds to Gankoomon.

Immediately after 's defeat, Lucemon sends the two Royal Knights forth from the and tasks them with gathering the world's fractal code in order to free him. They begin their work gathering the data of each of the Digital World's ten areas, by destroying the key that locks it in place, before sending it back to the Dark Area. The pair are overwhelmingly strong, easily defeating and  in their first clash. 's power even flings the DigiDestined to the Blue Moon. Throughout their campaign, they defeat and kill numerous allies of the DigiDestined, such as  and. With each resulting clash, however, their margin of victory grows smaller, from what was once overwhelming to more or less evenly matched to requiring Lucemon's aid to win.

The Knights are ultimately successful in their goal to free Lucemon, who joins them for a brief period.

Crusadermon


Crusadermon is the "Indifferent Warrior", wielding the Pile Bunker on her right arm. In Japanese, Crusadermon is an effeminate male, while in English, Crusadermon is female. Compared to her ally, Crusadermon focuses on blinding attacks using her incredible speed. Though cold and merciless in battle as befitting of her title, she can find beauty in the world, such as the brotherly relationship between and. She is also capable of cruel pity, as she reveals to Koichi at the Autumn Leaf Fair that he is but a spirit in the Digital World, a revelation that haunts him for the rest of his journey.

During fights, Crusadermon tends to gravitate toward, as they are both the speed-specialists in their respective pairs. She is also skillful enough to hold off two opponents at once, allowing Dynasmon to search for the key to the fractal code of their target.

When Lucemon is finally reborn and the Legendary Warriors are forced to retreat to the Yellow Moon, Crusadermon begins to have doubts that Lucemon will keep his end of the bargain. Dynasmon tells her to simply believe in their master, but Crusadermon still hesitates. Her doubts, compounded with the DigiDestined's increased resolve, leads her to fall against MagnaGarurumon on the Yellow Moon.

Dynasmon is quick to anger and frustration, though he ever has his eye on the prize.

During fights, Dynasmon tends to gravitate toward, as they are both the power-specialists in their respective pairs. Due to Crusadermon's skill, Dynasmon is often the one who searches out the fractal code of an area while his partner fends off any attackers.

He blames her weakening against the DigiDestined on those doubts, but he himself is overpowered by EmperorGreymon on the Yellow Moon. After Crusadermon is defeated by MagnaGarurumon, Dynasmon is furious over his comrade's defeat, but his "Breath of Wyvern" is overcome by EmperorGreymon, and Dynasmon with it.

Craniamon


Craniamon is one of Leopardmon's Royal Knight supporters and is close friends with UlforceVeedramon.

He finds himself on top of the Tokyo Metropolitan Building, which leads to one of the staff hiring Keisuke Amasawa to get rid of him, as he was scaring members of other staff. Upon reaching the roof, Keisuke confronts Craniamon, only for him to state he hates humans and for him to leave. Alphamon then arrives and the two talk about their Ulforce, who was stuck in a portal and was unable to get out. They come to an agreement to allow Keisuke to help them free Ulforce and Craniamon uses his sword to open a portal, with the three going inside.

Upon getting to where Ulfroce is trapped, Alphamon relises that it is impossible for them to free him and that they need to give up. Craniamon however states he will do no such thing and attempts to go through, though Keisuke stands in the way to stop him.

The worker then thanks Keisuke and says that he heard a second giant monster showed up and that Keisuke beat them both up. Keisuke doesn't dispute this and takes credit for beating them both up.

Rei discovers this though and reveals her identity as Crusadermon to them, stating she has no intention to let them survive now that they have seen the truth and attacks them. Before Keisuke can deal the finishing blow, Crusadermon flees, only for her to freak out when there are police waiting for her, as Erika had tipped them off before arriving. Rei flees to the roof, only for Keisuke, Erika and the police, including Matayoshi, to arrive on the roof. Erika and Rei get into a fight, punching and kicking each other, with Matayoshi stating he's too scared to get involved.

Mirei Mikagura sends Aiba into another to recuit her allies, Rina Shinomiya and Veevee to take their place. Rina agrees to help, though only on the condition that they help her defeat, who stole Veevee's power to digivolve.

Rina then hires Keisuke Amasawa to take her, Veevee and Kentaurosmon to the best restaurants in this universe, though they keep getting thrown out due to all three of their over excitedness. Eventually they come up with a plan to "eat silently" to not get thrown out but just end up arguing over who gets to be a food reviewer. They then have Keisuke take them to Under Kowloon Lv.5, where they determine that they need to defeat Keisuke first as he would be the best food reviewer.
