Fan:The Grand One

The Grand One is currently the only human that remains on Earth at all in B/C, and is legendary for having created the almighty Gaiamon. The signature armor he wears is a homage to the Pokemon Aggron, with the same coloration being used for Gaiamon's main body. His dialogue is always in English regardless of the region the game is from. The armor is designed to be both extremely heavy and appear very tall, with how he's even able to move around in the armor being a mystery. He is also not even very muscular at all as the armor would suggest, but merely also how the armor is designed to look as it also enhances his strength. His age is also not his real age either, as it is merely another reference to other media instead. His digivice's exterior design is made out of the same material as the armor is, making it very heavy to the point nobody else can even hold it at all. His height while in the armor is about 10 feet tall. His appearance without his armor is rarely seen, but one thing is for sure, his age in reality is different from his age in B/C, and is only around 5'8" feet tall compared to the imposing 10'7" feet tall the Gaia Armor is. Some say it is directly Shiramu-Kuromu himself in the armor, but some are uncertain as to this even if all of his behavior suggests that he is. Perhaps The Grand One is nothing but an in-universe avatar of him in first place, so the only times where it is actually him is whenever he speaks. Most of the time, he can manipulate things through the use of Dragoramon, but sometimes goes a little too far in these actions. When wearing his Gaia Armor, he weighs around 100,000 tons, but his actual weight is around 200 pounds. Amazing things are said to occur when his inspiration kicks in, such as Galacticmon digivolving to Gaiamon for instance. His inspiration has lead to the creation and redesign of countless Digimon species; Each species to exist in the B/C Universe always have their final designs done by him. Sometimes, there exist times where a Digimon goes through major design differences over time, but some of this is due to early inexperience in these sort of things. His Crest of Inspiration had lead to the creation of the entire B/C universe, and it is also this crest that determines the future fates of certain characters. While in his own universe he has the same reality bending abilities as Dragoramon, even when unarmored, he cannot use any of these abilities in other universes, hence the reason he created Rainboramon in the first place, which lead to a fateful series of events that nearly destroyed all Digimon universes. His famous ability to replicate Ganondorf's Warlock Punch with such speed in his unarmed form is a mystery to some people.

Digimon World: Bronze and Cobalt Versions
The Grand One is found on Earth after having become Legend Tamer. When you find him he just challenges you to a battle for no apparent reason whatsoever, using all of the most powerful Digimon in the game against you. The final Digimon he uses is his true partner Digimon Gaiamon, which has all of it's stats at the new caps used in B/C; 99,999 HP and MP, along with 9,999 Attack, Defense, Spirit, Wisdom, and Speed, and at Level 999. For comparison, the Legend Tamer challenge Digimon's stats are only around 50,000 for HP and MP and 4,000 for normal stats. His intro for when he appears is also different each time you see him, usually of him doing something goofy or something.

His Gaia Armor can be unlocked as clothing if Terranadramon or Trinitimon is used against his Gaiamon. The tamer effects of the armor is a bit mixed yet highly beneficial. On one hand, the armor effectively quadruples Exp and Bits drops with the full set, but at the same time, reduces speed growth rate to 1% and also halves the speed stat of any Digimon in the party. This means when training in Snowfield of Gaia, the ultimate training ground in the game in terms of Exp yields in the wild Digimon alone. Boss level Digimon are known to give 1,000,000 Species Exp in this area. In fact, The Grand One's Gaiamon gives 10,000,000 Exp, split into 1 Million exp for each species type, but remember, the exp yields are high for a good reason; Enemy Digimon will swarm you, you'll never go 2 seconds WITHOUT seeing the later stages of Ultimate and Mega stages of Mecha Rogue swarming you constantly depending on how deep in the area you are, and Gaiamon's ability and attacks are almost instant KO regardless of how high your Digimon's or Defense/Wisdom is. Not only that, but ALL of Gaiamon's attack hit all 5 zones due to how large it is. Base Power for it's attacks are ridiculous by all means, but have low accuracy, but that hardly matters when the Gaia Armor increases Gaiamon's accuracy to max, with The Grand One already having the full set of armor.

Swarming enemy Digimon only become far worse in Jade Version, as FIVE Terranadramon replaces Gaiamon as The Grand One's ace Digimon, with their traits and support abilities practically designed to function alongside other Terranadramon. Their Attack and Speed stats are near Infinite due to this, and rank as the hardest bosses in Jade Version. To make matters worse, less powerful Terranadramon start to spawn normally in Jade Version after this battle, with Gaiamon once again being used by The Grand One after the initial battle. This Gaiamon is essentially the same as the one in B/C.

Ultimate Endgame: The Rise of Dragoramon
MAJOR SPOILERS

The Grand One, prior to the events was busy sulking over past memories of his so decides out of the boredom he has and the desire for a purpose in life, begins to create the B/C universe and all the Digimon inhabiting it in his own design. The first Digimon he creates is Rainboramon, who immediately proves rebellious as he steals a DNA sample of a powerful lifeform called Terranadrosus from him and flees through several universes, causing indirect damage to the timelines each time he moves to a different one. The Grand One had anticipated he'd do this, and sends Terranadrosus to the Adventure 02 universe three days in advance, while attaching a speaker to Terranadrosus's neck to allow him to communicate through it.

Three days pass and Rainboramon arrives in the Adventure 02 timeline, and shoots down a Galacticmon that would end up becoming the same Gaiamon The Grand One uses and has sealed away for special occasions as it would eventually grow too large to keep on a planet. After Dragoramon fixes all the damage involving Terranadramon and leaves. The Grand One was pondering to himself, speaking to Kari's mind personally and asking all sorts of questions. This entire discussion with Kari shows a vastly different behavior from The Grand One's normal attitude, as well as most of his actions in The Rise of Dragoramon being in the behind the scenes talk with certain Characters. Asking if she really loves T.K., she doesn't know how to respond, and The Grand One suggests that if she really does love him she should be happy with him, since she won't find anyone else like him. In addition to this, The Grand One tells his tale of how he's been rejected before..... twice, and left mental scars on himself that lead to his loner nature and why he decided humanity was to be destroyed in his timeline, leaving him as the only human remaining on Earth, though he doesn't reveal this part to Kari. Kari actually feels sorry for him even if he does sound like he'd be a big jerk. Upon hearing those last two words, he said to Kari:

"What about Davis anyways? He probably feels the same way I do now. Alone, rejected, nobody special for him. You were like the one that was important to him at the time. With everyone separated there was not much to actually see. I mean, who else was there for him anyways? You and T.K. feel complete seeing each other more frequently, but ever since that accident that wasn't even his fault in the first place... He feels so crushed with all the blame for it seemed to go on him... But he isn't me... he's not some deity of some kind who can just create his own universe to hide all his emotions in... I feel like I've done a bunch of things that messed up my life, and I don't want him to suffer in a similar way. Please... Just talk to him for to show you're not mad at him. He's already starting to become a depressed man like myself anyways."

Kari was confused as to what he meant by the last bit. "How would you know how Davis feels anyways?" Was all she could say. The Grand One just stood up from his sitting position, showing his tall stature while in his armor as it fades away to show his unarmed self. "Because he was rejected only once. I was rejected twice and vowed never to love again since it's too late to change anything for me now. I can bring about this very universe's creation and yet I can't seem to figure relationships out. It's so stressing for me that's it's been wrecking my life for the 4 years. I've let myself age 20 years mentally by working on having part of my mind live in this universe I created as a way to test myself. It was a horrible experience beyond anything I could ever imagine. Davis has only experienced a month of what could be an eternity. Luckily for him Veemon's usually helping him out all the time, and he probably is right now. All I can really say is help him out in return, that's all I'm asking... I don't want to have to deal with two depressed souls already..." Was what he said as he woke Kari back up into reality.

Next he summoned Davis and Veemon out of reality to see them next. Davis was indeed in a depressed state as he had thought, so depressed he didn't even want to focus on the current situation of being in this odd, cold, winter covered place. The Grand One walks up to to them and takes both of them by surprise. "In case Kari doesn't cheer you up after my little talk with her." The Grand One summoned his Galacticmon to the place and Veemon was immediately digivolved into Imperialdramon Dragon Mode. Trying to cheer up Davis by a battle seemed like a good idea at first, but Davis still kept acting depressed. When Imperialdramon noticed this he didn't think this was a good idea for Davis since he seemed so focused on Kari at the moment. This point is where The Grand One heads back into his usual loudmouth attitude and begins to insult Davis and mocks him with his usual insults of ignoring his comments, pushing people around literally, or outright single random gibberish just to get people's attention. Davis, snapping out of his depressed mood feeling all angry, orders Imperialdramon to attack Galacticmon.

A massive battle goes on, with Imperialdramon being the victor at first until Galacticmon digivolves to Gaiamon. The Grand Trial was beginning for Davis, and Gaiamon turns out to be an imposing force beyond all imagination. Imperialdramon digivolves into Imperialdramon Paladin Mode but it still isn't enough to budge the massive 1,000 foot tall Digimon, until Imperialdramon mode changes as if it were Dragon Mode again but retaining Paladin Mode's colors and sword. A massive shouting match occurs between The Grand One and Davis after the former saw this, and the fight ends with Imperialdramon PDM KOing Gaiamon. Even after all the shouting and stuff, both just start laughing at the end of everything. "See now, was that so hard to just get into a big battle just to cheer ya up?" The Grand One said. "Yeah, but, it still doesn't help me apologize to Kari for what I did...." The Grand One just laughed a bit, remembering his conversation with Kari from a moment ago. Don't worry, I think Kari would understand without you even having to say a word."

Morning came by and now T.K. was next up to be talked to, except The Grand One had a more special surprise for T.K.. The Grand One gives T.K. his memories from the incident back so can remember how everyone was back together for once, even Davis as depressed as he was. "I never thought I'd see myself doing this you know, perhaps creating Rainboramon allowed me to have something go on where I felt important for once. He's getting just just deserts for the chaos he caused, and as for me, well, I've got a little present for you." The Grand One warps a box with an engagement ring to T.K., and T.K. is surprised about it. "Go on and tell Kari how much you truly feel for her. Believe me, you're not going to find anyone else like her. I've looked, she's a perfect fit for you." After listening to T.K. propose to Kari and the both of them solving Davis's state of depression by inviting them to the wedding, The Grand One could only think about what future lies ahead for him as well.

In the final events of everything, The Grand One decides to be his jolly old self and gives Gaiamon and Terranadrosus human forms to attend the wedding with him, both theirs and also Ken and Yolei's wedding he was there on the sidelines. "Never thought I'd be here to see this myself you know." Was all he could say. This marks the one of only a few occasions The Grand One doesn't wear his signature armor. Back at Ultimoria, the planet of his universe, he works on finishing up the B/C universe after being happy for once to actually work on finishing it, a dream that so far, is still a dream, but one he knows he will fulfill one day.

Digimon: Bursting Cries
At the Adventure 02 universe, about 6 months after the events of The Rise of Dragoramon, Kari is haunted by memories and nightmares of the dark ocean, and when Dragomon ends of hurting Kari badly when he tries to capture her again, this time personally, and not only does this make T.K. mad, but it makes The Grand One so mad he suddenly appears by greeting Dragomon with his Warlock Punch and Dragomon is sent flying into a cliffside. Dragomon tries to make another attack on both T.K. and Kari and also The Grand One, but then The Grand One asks Dragomon if he knows what true fear is. Dragomon just laughs, as The Grand One can't use his armor in this universe, and that he is fear himself. The Grand One undergoes a monstrous transformation into some gruesome beast of some kind and goes into some kind of bloodlust, clawing Dragomon and his minions to death mercilessly. Before Dragomon is killed he begs for mercy, but The Grand One replies "You've nearly killed the voice of mercy, so she cannot answer your request now", clearly speaking of Kari, and begins to pummel Dragomon to death as T.K. carries a badly wounded Kari out of the place, T.K. having saw only a glimpse of what was going on.

Suddenly another Goddreamon appears, having been born in this universe and came here after sensing a copy of himself. "There can only be one" was what The Grand One said before changing into a SuperMechadramon and destroying him. The Grand One realizes only just now that the presence of Dragoramon caused Digimon from his own universe to appear here, and so begins a hunting spree to eliminate the other Super Ultimates and the SuperMechadramon residing here in this universe deeming them the biggest threats to this universe so far. That hunt would have to wait after two of the Digidestined were in the hospital now, Kari for her injuries, and the fact that Sora was giving birth to her's and Matt's first child. Nothing seems to make any sense to The Grand One anymore in his opinion, wondering how time could go by that fast with them. Also noticing how Leviadramon, Behedramon, and Zizdramon were aiding the three of them during this, he looked at the time from the last time he was here at all and it was exactly 6 months, 6 days, and 6 hours since the Dragoramon incident.

Back in the present, his Gaiamon, at one point having grown to the size of the moon, was sealed away far off in space due to having grown too big for even The Grand One to handle. The Grand One, deciding he would be interested to see exactly how big it would get, decides to speed up the growth rate gene it has in order for Gaiamon to reach max size sooner within a few year time frame.

This Gaiamon would end up threatening the entire solar system as it seemed to have lost it's mind trying to find it's way back to Sol. It's presence felt long before it even came anywhere close to the Digital World, from small tremors to really huge tremors and sudden changes in weather, everyone was growing concerned over something big that may be happening. Turns out, something big really was happening. Literally. Gaiamon, originally 1,000 feet tall when it had digivolves, was now about the size of Sol itself, so every action it could do could easily obliterate half or all of the solar system in one strike.

Duo arrives to Earth with Commander Kiryu to convince The Grand One to stop the Digimon he had created. Every time he kept telling them not to rush him as he was busy with something. Commander Kiryu was getting mad at The Grand One ignoring the urgency of this issue, but somehow The Grand One knew nothing bad would happen right from the start even if he delayed on helping them. Commander Kiryu gets desperate as Gaiamon approaches Neptune, the planet the Digital World orbits around in the B/C universe. So basically he decides to force Duo into the matter, where Duo responds by kicking him in the face saying she doesn't want involved in this now that he's acting like a 10 year old dealing with The Grand One's reactions.

The Grand One is overhearing all of them from his little house, hearing Kiryu shouting off rather violent language right in Duo's face and even threatens to tear her to have Dragoramon expand her breast size. Not only did this anger Duo like heck, but The Grand One came storming out so mad his door shattered into tiny pieces as if it were glass when he barged out overhearing him and his threats. "I already have one Lilithmon to deal with, I don't need another!!!" was all he said shouting at the top of his already loud voice to the point some say you could hear him all the way from Neptune. Suddenly the Gaia Helmet The Grand One wears reveals it's secret weapon; The Gaia Genesis Cannon. Apparently the helmet is not where The Grand One's head is when he's wearing the armor...

Commander Kiryu takes this as a challenge and summons SuperMechadramon to deal with him, but The Grand One chose not to summon any Digimon to confront him, merely shouting out "CHARGIN MAH LAZAH. BETTER START RUNNIN BOY." Kiryu suddenly freaked out saying he can't possibly be serious about this, only for The Grand One to shout "After all, if you want SuperMechadramon to be as tough as it is; No pain, no gain, yes?" right before firing off the most powerful laser blast of any laser based attack. The laser made of pure energy, it instantly destroys the much larger SuperMechadramon where it stands. Kiryu only hide like a coward saying that laser is the only thing that he fears more than anything. Duo can't help but burst out laughing for once, saying she's never seen him so scared before. The Grand One says he has all the reason to be scared, as the same exact laser cannon is built into Gaiamon's mouth as well, and can do pretty much just the same thing to the Galactic Core and destroy the entire galaxy if wanted to.

If it was doing anything, however, it was destroying the Digital World at any moment. "Alright alright enough is enough." Was all he said as he warped to there as a giant version of himself. Singing just random gibberish for no apparent reason, Gaiamon does nothing but stands there and watches, following The Grand One away from Neptune and the Digital World, only for The Grand One to just send Gaiamon flying all the way out of the entire Galaxy with a giant hammer that's actually a heavily modified Digivice. Duo just stares blankly the whole time, wondering what the heck goes on in The Grand One's mind and why Kiryu made those odd threats about her.

Wondering what the heck is going on in Kiryu's mind, The Grand One has a look himself and sees what he calls "Duo's worst nightmare". Duo asking what it is, he chooses not to tell her since she doesn't want to know. "And believe me, you DON'T wanna know. Trust me." But then he just ends up whispering it into Duo's ear causing her face to become a bright red and vowing to give Kiryu the worst beating of his life next time she sees him, and Commander Kiryu just so happens to walk into the room at the worst possible time at that very instant.....

The Great Battle of Xros Wars
The Grand One showed his true selfish nature in this specific instance. He apparently shows major hate towards the Xros Wars universe for how it is handled, with him calling it "The fun about DNA Digivolving is completely ruined by this universe". With that in mind, he orders Dragoramon to keep the severe damage to the Xros Wars universe unchanged. However, this starts to threaten Duo's existence for some reason, so she steals Dragoramon back from The Grand One to fix the damage done while the player character of B/C works on restoring the DigiQuartz part of the timeline.

The Grand One, surprisingly, doesn't notice Duo sneak to the true problem with Dragoramon and focuses solely on the player by sending practically all the most powerful Digimon in B/C's universe against the player. Seeing as he's getting nowhere, it isn't until he brings the remaining Terranadramon to the present timeline that he sees what Duo and Dragoramon were doing, reducing the Terranadramon numbers from 1 Trillion to only 1,000 and also restoring the Xros Wars character's lives. Confused as to what's going on, Taiki has Shoutmon DigiXros to Shoutmon X7 Superior Mode to help deal with the Terranadramon. Soon they still prove to be so much trouble Marcus rallies tamers from other universes to help stop all of this.

The Grand One, throwing such a tantrum for someone his age, says he has no other choice but to destroy them all and sends a Xilatealeon, Shieldrus, and Terranadrosus at them, calling them virtually indestructible. With the combined forces of every tamer to ever exist is only when they are defeated. The Grand One, surprised they managed to beat them, calls it mere luck but otherwise respects them now for having beaten the three most powerful beings of his universe, and fixes all the problems in the timelines. The Adventure 02 timeline is the only timeline that remains unchanged yet again, and everything is at peace once more, or, that is, until The Grand One designs a being so powerful that even they won't be a match for it.....
