Gaiomon Fierce Blade Mode is a Dragonkin Digimon and a carrier of the X Antibody. It is a form of Gaiomon, who was defeated in battle, that acquired a new power after unimaginable training. The Ogre data sleeping within its DigiCore has awakened, and its fighting style has changed to Ittō-ryū. Having mastered Tenrin Sword Style (天燐厳刀流, Tenrin Ittō-ryū^?, lit. "Heavenly Phosphorus Invincible Sword Style"), a fencing technique told of in the Eastern Digital World, Gaiomon Fierce Blade Mode specializes in "silent" fencing techniques in which it instantly cuts down its opponents without even making a sound. Once prepared for battle, it is almost impossible to approach Gaiomon Fierce Blade Mode without leaving any openings.

Attacks

• Binding Whirlwind (旋風縛, Senpū Baku^?, lit. "Whirlwind Bind"): Restricts the opponent's movements with a tornado unleashed from the "Kikurin" (菊燐, "Kikurin"^? lit. "Chrysanthemum and Phosphorus").
• Kikurin Thunder Slash (菊燐一閃・號雷斬, Kikurin Issen: Gouraizan^?, lit. "Chrysanthemum and Phosphorus Flash: Roaring Lightning Beheading"): Charges at lightning speed and then bisects the opponent with the "Kikurin", which surges with lightning
• Splendid Blade of Tranquility (刀華静謐, Touka Seihitsu^?, lit. "Sword Flower Tranquility"): Cuts down the enemies in its surroundings with a single stroke of its sword. It is said to quietly bring the battle to an end without them even realizing that they have been cut by their adversary.
