Zeromaru

Zeromaru is a fictional character from the Digimon franchise. Zeromaru (or "Zero" for short) is the Digimon partner of Taichi Yagami, and is one of the main characters in the Digimon manga series V-Tamer.

Zeromaru is a Veedramon, and throughout the series gains the ability to Digivolve into more powerful forms such as AeroVeedramon and UlforceVeedramon. However, he is generally referred to by his name "Zeromaru", and not by the name of his species "Veedramon".

Appearance
Veedramon are blue dragon-like Digimon who have a large horn on their nose and two more horns where the ears should be. They have five-clawed hands and a pair of three-clawed feet. The name "Veedramon" refers to the large blue "V" on their chest.

Description
Zeromaru (Zero for short) is a Veedramon partnered to Taichi Yagami (similar to Taichi "Tai" Kamiya in the English language Digimon anime). Zero shares many of Taichi's personalities, such as being strong-willed but somewhat fool-hardy. Zero, however, hates to be underestimated. He acknowledges the fact that he can't do everything on his own, but he wants to prove to that he is more than just the "puppy dragon" that everyone thinks he is. He fought Tortomon, Kuwagamon, Gekovitch, Triceramon, Lord Marine, Myotismon, MetalGreymon, SkullSatamon (formed from a Devimon and an Ogremon), and Cyclonemon and often won only because of Taichi's commands and tactics. During the fight with Ghoulmon, Zeromaru digivolved to his Ultimate form when he saved his partner Taichi and then defeated the monster. In his new form he faced various Digimon like Okuwamon, Pie the Piedmon, Rose the Rosemon, VenomMyotismon, Omega the Omnimon, NeoDevimon and Callismon before he faced Arcadimon. During his first battle against the powerful Digimon he was critically wounded by Arkadimon's special abilities and attacks but thanks to the help of all the other Digimon they met he was saved. He then again battled Arcadimon and this time had the upper hand but when Neo Saiba used a Digimental on Arcadimon to change him to his Super Ultimate form, Zeromaru was seemingly killed when he rammed himself with full speed into the massive Digimon. However in truth he Digivolved to his Mega form of UlforceVeedramon.

In this form he was more than a match for the powerful Arcadimon Super Ultimate. Not only was he able to protect his friends from an attack of the evil Digimon with an energy shield, he also hurt the giant Digimon first with his Ray of Victory attack and then ripped of Arcadimon's left arm with his Victory Sword. However because she couldn't watch this constant fight anymore, Rei Saiba, the sister of Arcadimon's Tamer Neo Saiba, jumped from a cliff but was in time saved by Zero. Afterwards Neo finally realized his wrongdoing, but because of this Daemon revealed himself to be alive and emerged in his new form as Daemon Super Ultimate. Zero immediately fought against the new opponent but found himself badly hurt when Daemon attacked his friends and thus forced Zero to protect them with his body. However Zero soon gained new strength when Taichi used a Digimental on him, thus allowing him to digivolve to his most powerful form UlforceVeedramon Future Mode. In this form he was easily able to defeat Daemon and finally killed him by slicing him into two. Afterwards the Digimental (which UlforceVeedramon Future Mode wore as a belt) lost its power and Zero transformed back to UlforceVeedramon.

AeroVeedramon
The Digivolved form of Veedramon, AeroVeedramon is a Phantom Dragon that has grown wings and can fly, and is thus skillful at both long-distance and melee combat. His offensive and defensive powers have increased, and he can now fight in air battles. It is said that Veedramon only Digivolves when he has enough combat experience so he is rare enough to be legendary.

AeroVeedramon is a winged blue dragon-like Digimon with a white belly and a large blue "V" on its chest. Though evidently quite powerful, and capable of giving it quick flight, its red wings are rather ragged looking. Among other notable characteristics are the two long horns that jut from the back of its skull, and the shorter horn on its nose, as well its seemingly metal shoulder pads. Its tail is quite long, and its eyes are almond-shaped and gold in color. It has a Virus form, which is black instead of blue.

UlforceVeedramon
The final form of Veedramon, this blue armored member of the Royal Knights has the hidden power of the ancient Digimon. Taking to the air with his huge wings, his armor and swords shine. His true power is yet to be. His original Japanese name is Ulforce V-Dramon, although AlforceV-Dramon is also a common translation.

UlforceVeedramon is the fastest of the Royal Knights, and few other Digimon can match his speed. His armor made of the light-weight, rare metal "Blue Digizoid" an alloy rarer than Chrome Digizoid.
