List of characters in Digimon Next

A list of characters in the manga series Digimon Next.

Tsurugi Tatsuno


Tsurugi Tatsuno (龍野　ツルギ) is a hot-headed boy, not very book smart but strong and open with his emotions and cares a lot about his friends. He is an elementary-school fifth grader who lives in the Light District's First Town (ヒカリ区・一番町). He is a part of his soccer club at school, and, at the beginning of the story, uses his Greymon to win a battle against a fellow member's Garurumon to become the club's strongest Digimon Tamer. The other members of his soccer club, including his friend Tooru, bring him to try "Net Battle", which would allow him to battle people all over the world.

Entering Net Battle, Tsurugi meets his Greymon and subsequently enters a battle against Saitou. While first unnerved by Saitou's Greymon's size, his Greymon proved to be much faster and utterly defeated his opponent. At the end of the day, however, Tsurugi heads to the bathroom only to be attacked by a Kuwagamon. When he is about to be killed, his Digimon Mini shines and Greymon appears to protect him. After Kuwagamon's defeat, Tsurugi cannot get anyone to believe that he was attacked, despite the wound he receives. He is also hurt when meeting his childhood friend, Shou Kahara, and being brushed off by him. Entering Net Battle again, this time accompanied by Ami Kitajima, Tsurugi finds that even Greymon doesn't remember the encounter. Tsurugi and Ami are then approached by a cloaked figure, who tells him that Greymon is an Illegal type and warns him to be wary of the Hacker Tamer. Tsurugi then continues to win battles until he is faced with a Peckmon who is the partner of the Hacker Tamer, Knight.

Yuu Inui and Gaomon


Yuu Inui (乾　ユウ)

Ami Kitajima


Ami Kitajima (北島　アミ) is a kind-hearted girl with a somewhat forceful personality who has a little brother named Taku (タク). She is the class representative and appropriately takes care of her classmates. She doesn't believe in Digimon battling; she considers it childish and prefers to raise them instead. When she finds that she doesn't have to fight in "Net Game", she enters the world with Tsurugi and meets with her partner, Pitchmon

Pitchmon


Pitchmon is the digimon partner of Ami Kitajima. Their purpose in the storyline is unknown at this time. In Chapter 11 however, it is revealed that Pitimon carries the DigiMemory of Water and can Digivolve to MarineAngemon. Pichimon and Ami are kidnapped and Pichimon alongside his DigiMemory is taken.

Piximon


Piximon is the general overseer in the Digital World. He is the one who opposes Barbamon and thus calls a human to the Digital World to fight him. However, he is badly hurt by an attack from Sealsdramon, having the Holy DigiMemory taken away from him. It seems that he recovered in recent chapters.

Andromon
Another overseer of the Digital World who resides in Light City. He is killed by Chaosdramon.

Barbamon


Barbamon seems to be the main enemy in this manga. Barbamon was able to hijack the host computer of the Digital World, which lied in the System World. His target is to take over the Digital World, and for this goal, he has gathered a large army of Digimon and even a human named Shou (together with his partner Peckmon) to help him. To take over and reform the Digital World as he wishes, he needs the eight "DigiMemories", which Shou is helping him gather. It is later revealed that he was merged with Yggdrasil. In the end, he is defeated by Tsuguri and VictoryGreymon, but not before completing NEO.

Shou Kahara


Shou Kahara (華原　ショウ), also known as Black Knight (黒騎士), Knight (ナイト), and the Hacker Tamer (ハッカーテイマー), is Tsurugi's childhood friend, though he has grown distant with time. He is protective of his black Digimon Mini, even shoving Tsurugi away when he moved to take a closer look. As Knight, he and Peckmon interrupt Tsurugi's battle with Kondoo by deleting Kondoo's Raremon.

A black Peckmon is the Digimon Partner of Shou and possesses the Bird Digi-Memory, which Barbamon needs to gain total control over the Digital World. Peckmon first appeared when Shou attacked Tsurugi Tatsuno under the guise of the Hacker Tamer "the Black Winged Knight". Peckmon fought Tsurugi's Greymon, causing it to de-digivolve into Agumon, and would have claimed total victory if not for Piximon's intervention. In its battle against MegaKabuterimon to claim the Plant/Insect DigiMemory, Shou Digivolved Peckmon into Yatagaramon. During the attack on Light City, Chaosdramon revealed to Shou that Barbamon told him to dispose Shou and that is why Chaosdramon tried to kill him. Afterwards, he reappears to fight Murmuxmon, making Peckmon digivolve into Ravemon.

Commandments
Barbamon has many Digimon working for him. These include a Sealsdramon, a Waspmon, an army of Commandramon, a Mummymon, the Commandment Strategist Datamon, some Armored Trailmon, and an army of BladeKuwagamon. He also has the 3 Commandment Commanders (Chaosdramon, Murmuxmon, and Zanbamon) who lead his Commandments.

Datamon


A Datamon works as a Commandment Strategist for Barbamon. Datamon is shown when he spies on a secret meeting between Shou and Norn. He created the Hot Spring Paradise and piloted an Angewomon robot. When trying to claim the DigiMemory of Water from Pitimon in the Angewomon robot, Pitimon Digivolves to MarineAngemon and Datamon retreats. He also reveals to Tsurugi that he's competing against Shou to get the DigiMemories for Barbamon.

Norn


A girl imprisoned by Barbamon. She was sent by Yggdrasil to learn what Digimon mean to Humans, where she befriends Tsuguri, Yuu, Ami, and Shou. She is actually the manifestation of Yggdrasil's conscience.

Yggdrasil


A resident of the System World and the God of the Digital World. After he sent Nourn to the real world, he was forcibly merged with Barbamon.

NEO


An artificial Digimon being created by Barbamon. To complete this creation, all 8 DigiMemories are needed. He first appears as a small black blob, but evolves to an embryonic form by merging with the Holy and Insect Digimemories. It grows arms after receiving the Machine Digimemory and begins to grow a body after receiving both the Water Digimemory and Pichimon's data. After Barbamon is defeated, it absorbs the Bird and Darkness Digimemories along with a massive amount of data to take on a completed humanoid form.

Attacks:
 * Judgement: Neo reduces anything composed of data into 1's and 0's
 * Zero Genesis: Neo separates space and time from each other and manipulates both with his will

Tooru


Tooru (トオル) is one of Tsurugi's friends in the soccer club. He was the one who first suggested that Tsurugi enter Net Battle, but is left behind to worry when all of his friends disappear.

Saito


An Elvis Presley-esque DigiBattler, Saitou (サイトー) a 27 year old self-proclaimed gamer who is the first Tamer that Tsurugi battles in the Terminal. His Digimon Partner is a Greymon which is larger than Tsurugi's, but, due to Tsurugi's Greymon's speed, he lost. His then gets his mentor Kondoo to fight Tsurugi as a revenge.

Kondoo


Kondoo (コンドー) is Saito's teacher and master. His Digimon Partner is Raremon. Kondoo's Raremon fought against Tsurugi's Greymon as revenge for his student until his Raremon was deleted by Peckmon.
