Mercurymon (Frontier)

Mercurymon is a fictional character from the Digimon franchise, appearing as one of the villains of Digimon Frontier. He was voiced by Yasunori Matsumoto (Japan) and Daran Norris (US) with a medieval accent.

Description
Mercurymon is the Legendary Human Warrior of Steel, using the power of AncientWisemon.

Mercurymon is a crafty strategist, thinking of many strategies simultaneously. Always seen smiling diabolically, he is no doubt the most guileful, at least compared to the impulsive Ranamon. He has a fussy personality when it comes to precisely explaining methods of battle and such. He attacks his enemy's weak points but his behavior outside of calculations is brittle. One of his accomplishments was stealing Seraphimon's Fractal Code and using it himself to become ShadowSeraphimon. Mercurymon was defeated finally by Aldamon. He is the only warrior who lost his human spirit before his beast spirit, as well as the only one that never Slide Digivolves.

A purified Mercurymon later appeared at the Village of Beginnings, to help the other legendary warriors fight Crusadermon and Dynasmon. He also appeared when Susanoomon split into the ten Human Hybrids to slice through Lucemon Larva's body.

Attacks
 * Dark Reflection : Uses his Irony Shield mirrors to absorb enemy projectile attacks and return the attack back at them.
 * Offset Reflector: Only used in the 13th episode of the Japanese version, similar to Generous Mirror, except Mercurymon absorbs the attack in one mirror and emits it from the other.
 * Mirror Offset: Uses his Irony Shield mirrors to create a beam of white and green energy to blast his enemies.

Other forms
The name "Mercurymon" only refers to the Human-Hybrid form of this character. In the series, he gains access to other forms, each with a different name and special attack. However, this form is the one he spends most of his time in.

ShadowSeraphimon
ShadowSeraphimon is a Mega Level Fallen Angel Digimon, the fusion of Mercurymon with Seraphimon's Fractal Code.

When Takuya Kanbara as Agunimon entered the Light Sphere of Sakkakumon, he found Seraphimon's Fractal Code and Mercurymon's subconscious in the steel sphere. Mercurymon absorbed the Fractal Code and became ShadowSeraphimon, who immediately attacked Agunimon. No matter what Takuya did in his Agunimon or BurningGreymon forms, nothing worked. Instead ShadowSeraphimon beat him down with his hands, feet and his Testament attack. When the evil Angel used his Strike of the Seven Dark Stars attack it caused BurningGreymon to regress back to Takuya. Takuya then was about to be killed by ShadowSeraphimon when Tommy Himi, Zoe Orimoto, J.P. Shibayama, Bokomon and Neemon called out to Takuya, causing Seraphimon's Digi-Egg to glow. It floated up to the Light Sphere and sent a stream of light into Takuya, who Fusion Evolved to Aldamon. He easily defeated ShadowSeraphimon and scanned his Fractal Code, returning it to Seraphimon's Digi-Egg.
 * It should be noted that while Mercurymon became ShadowSeraphimon to battle Takuya, it was only through the use of the real Seraphimon's fractal code, which means that it is not his true digivolution.

Attacks
 * Strike of the Seven Dark Stars (Seven Hells): A darker version of Seraphimon's attack.
 * Shadow Starburst (Testament): A close range electric shock.
 * Shadow Shockwave: A sonic feedback strike.
 * Shadow Blast: A beam that destroys anything in its path.



Sakkakumon
Sakkakumon is the Legendary Beast Warrior of Steel, as well as the most powerful and the largest of the Beast Spirit Hybrids. Its Japanese name comes from the Sephirot, the 10 aspects of God in the Jewish religion.

Each of its ten spheres corresponds to one of the ten elements, and contains a champion of that element. As the ShadowSeraphimon and Mercurymon within Sakkakumon are explicitly constructed out of the Fractal Code it possesses, and the other six Digimon within Sakkakumon dissolve without leaving behind Fractal Code, it is likely that they were Digimon who had previously lost their Code to Mercurymon.
 * Steel sphere, containing Mercurymon. Bears the Zero Unit.
 * Light sphere, containing ShadowSeraphimon.
 * Wind sphere, containing Karatenmon.
 * Thunder sphere, containing Parrotmon.
 * Ice sphere, containing IceLeomon.
 * Darkness sphere, containing Duskmon. Bears the Crest of Light.
 * Water sphere, containing Ranamon, as well as her Honeybeemon.
 * Fire sphere, containing Asuramon.
 * Earth sphere, containing Volcamon, as well as ShadowBeetlemon.
 * Wood sphere, containing Cherrymon.

Later, it took a combined attack by Aldamon, Kazemon, Beetlemon, and Kumamon to defeat him, as he had copied the data for all of their attacks by observing them while they were within the Spheres. He used this data to reflect the attacks on the users, but was unable to reflect combination attacks.

Both of his spirits were transferred to Takuya Kanbara's D-Tector.

Mercurymon's spirits were later transferred into Koji Minamoto's D-Tector so he could Hyper Spirit Evolve to MagnaGarurumon.

Attacks
 * Rumble Blend #1-10: When attacked with an elemental attack, he rearranges his body to fire the attack right back at the opponent. This attack only works if he has trapped the opponent inside of him and observed the opponent's attacks or if he has the fractal code of a digimon with the same element as the attack.


 * Rain of Steel: Each of his spheres break apart and form a circle with the "information" sphere in the middle and giant metal spikes rain down from the glowing sphere.
 * Coat of Iron: Each of his spheres transforms in to large metallic orbs and pummels the enemy.
 * Metallic Reflector: Projects energy beams from the 10 spheres at once.
 * In the anime, Sakkakumon uses the other spirits attacks that were copied when the 5 children were fighting inside Sakkakumon.

 * In the English dub, Mercurymon speaks using Medieval-style English with words like "doth" and "art".
