=== Marcus Damon ''(Daimon Masaru)'' ===

''"It's fighting time!"''

 

 

Marcus is a fourteen-year-old student who loves to fight and, in a way, considers himself to be an "ultimate fighter" . He lives with his mother Sarah and younger sister Kristy. Marcus meets and fights Agumon in the first episode of the series. When the fight ends in a draw, Agumon agrees to become his partner. Soon afterward, he's recruited as a member of DATS. Marcus is one of the few shown to fight Digimon by himself, though he still counts on Agumon's help to fight the stronger opponents. Even though others can evoke their DNA charges by themselves, Marcus must connect a punch on an enemy to do so, subsequently using it to digivolve Agumon.

* [[Badass]]: What other word describes someone capable of punching out Digimon several hundred times his size?

Thomas is a 14-year-old boy genius who graduated from the Stockholm Royal University of Science at the age of 13. His abilities are considered élite, even within DATS. He bases his operations on data and theoretical principles, and as such his personality clashes with Marcus'. His mother is Japanese and his father is a prominent Austrian aristocrat named Franz Norstein. Franz and Thomas's mother met while she was an exchange student in Austria, and Thomas lived with his mother in Japan until she died. He was taken back to Austria. He also has a younger sister, Relena, who suffers from a strange disease. It is never shown who Relena's mother is, but she died of complications during childbirth. While Thomas does not particularly care for his cold father, he does love his sister very much and does whatever he can to protect her. Calm and shrewd, he is the exact opposite of Marcus and sees him as a rival. He has an elitist attitude but he gets emotional when thinking of his mother, who died years ago when he was young.

Gaomon also mentions in the first quarter of the series that Thomas is a licensed doctor--in a later episode, Thomas reveals that he's been studying medicine at such an accelerated rate specifically to cure his sister's illness.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Bastard]]}}

* [[Japanese Sibling Terminology]]: Weird case as Thomas is half-Japanese, half-Austrian. His half-sister, Relena, is fully Austrian. She addresses him with the very respectful "oniisama" in the Japanese version, but whether she's "actually" calling him that as an endearment or if it's the [[Translation Convention]] in effect isn't clarified. The dub [[Pragmatic Adaptation|adapts this]] by having Relena call Thomas "Tommy.")

At eighteen years of age, she is the oldest member of the group, compared to Marcus Damon who is fourteen years old and Thomas H. Norstein who is roughly the same age. Yoshino is independent and sees herself as an older sister figure to her two teammates. Despite her mature demeanor, she hides a terrible burden from her childhood and because of it, she has difficulty believing in her ability to do anything. When she was younger, Yoshino dealt with a severe inferiority complex that stemmed from being unable to be as good as her sisters at anything (the most noteworthy incident was a piano recital). As a result, years later, she still is secretly worried about being useless to anyone. Lalamon had been aware of her suffering for some time and helped her to overcome it. The fact became apparent when she started to feel she was useless to Marcus and Thomas since her Digimon was easily beaten in every single battle they took part in, but she eventually gained her own confidence, which allowed Lalamon to warp digivolve to Lilamon.

* [[Action Girl]] (Eventually in the second arc; see below.)

* [[Catch Phrase]]: See above.

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: She ''thinks'' she's this, but Lalamon disagrees.

* [[Drives Like Crazy]]

As opposed to the other members of DATS, Keenan did not live in the human world, nor did he originally have a particular liking for it. Though originally born on Earth to the DATS scientists Kevin and Michelle Krier (Kenji and Misuzu Noguchi), he was accidentally transported to the Digital World as an infant. In the Digital World, he was raised by a Frigimon, who acted a a mother figure to him. Falcomon was raised alongside him like a brother. Following her death, he was raised by Merukimon, who became a father figure to him. He believes in defending the peace of the Digital World, and also believed that humans were nothing but a threat to it. Despite his young age, Keenan has great fighting skill (many of his moves mirror the ninja-like aspects of Falcomon). He wields a boomerang, and wears a cape and a necklace adorned with feathers, and also has facepaint.

* [[And This Is For]]: After {{spoiler|Merukimon is killed by Kurata, he says this in regards to him before making Falcomon warp digivolve to Crowmon and [[Curb Stomp Battle|curbstomp]] the Gizumon XT who killed Merukimon.}}

* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: Lets not forget that this is a ten year old kid who, in most episodes is pulling stunts of strength and agility that would turn an Olympic Athlete green with envy. The best representation of this is the episode where he finally meets his parents and he carries his own mother out of their possessed house, making multi-story jumps the entire time. Once again, to reiterate, this kid is TEN YEARS OLD!

* [[Hulk Speak|Tarzan Speak]]: Strangely enough, even though Digimon usually speak normally, so being raised by them really shouldn't have affected his speech pattern. He gets better by the end of the show.

* [[Let's You and Him Fight]]: Keenan vs. other humans, until...

 

=== Miki Kurosaki & Megumi Shirakawa ===

[[File:black_and_white_digigals_9539.png|frame]]

 

Megumi voiced by: Yukiko Hanioka (JP), [[Stephanie Sheh]] (EN) }}

 

The computer operators at DATS, who generally give data on the digimon the team is facing. After the final battle, they become police officers.

* [[Bridge Bunnies]]

* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: The girls have to call the attacks for their PawnChessmon, who are mute.

* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]

* [[Lovely Angels]]

* [[Shout-Out]]: To ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure]]''.

 

The Commander of DATS Japan, giving the three main members their orders. {{spoiler|He also worked with Yushima as a private investigator, which led to them joining the expedition to the digital world and meeting Spencer Damon.}}

 

* [[Badass Longcoat]]: And ''how''.

* [[Badass Baritone]]: Commanding and ''damn'' scary when he raises his voice. Yoshino (and merchandise) even mention his nickname as "Oni no Ikkatsu". (lit. 'The Demon's Thunderous Roar')

* [[The Captain]]

* [[Da Chief]]: The team (and us viewers) found out the hard way how loud he is when you screw up royally. Used for comedic effect in Episode 20.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: At least in intent, though it didn't result in his death. He was out of the way for quite a while, though.

* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]

[[File:yushima_105.png|frame]]

 

 

* [[Badass Grandpa]]: He is, to date, the oldest human in a Digimon series to own a Digivice of some kind and have a Digimon partner.

* [[Cool Old Guy]]

[[File:spencer_damon_3757.png|frame]]

 

 

 

* [[Badass Bookworm]]: He was recruited into the original Digital World exploration team due to his scientific knowledge, and he was the original designer of [[Amplifier Artifact|the Digivice]]. He survived in the Digital World with [[Good Old Fisticuffs|his bare hands]] and [[Battle Aura|the power of Digisoul/DNA charge]].

* [[Big Good]]

* [[Disappeared Dad]]

* [[Genius Bruiser]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: 大門 (Dai Mon means "Great Gate" in Japanese, and he was a member of the first Digital World expedition.)

* [[Mysterious Parent]]

 

[[File:agusavers_9993.png|frame]]

 

 

Agumon adores his partner Marcus, and considers himself to be "Marcus's employee". He even refers to Marcus as his Boss (though in the original Japanese he is referred to as aniki which is slang for bro... and what members of the Yakuza use to refer to their boss.) In the first episode, he is referred to by the code-name of Raptor-1 by DATS.

*** ShineGreymon Ruin Mode, a dark version of Burst Mode with black flames.

*** '''Burst Mode''': ShineGreymon [[Turns Red]] and gains wings, a sword, and a shield made of fire.

* [[Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal]]: Arm bands

* [[Big Eater]]: A common trait on this show but Agumon is the biggest eater of them all.

* {{spoiler|1=[[Deadly Upgrade]]: ShineGreymon Ruin Mode}}

* [[Death Glare]]: After {{spoiler|1=becoming ShineGreymon Burst Mode and easily blocking Kurata's attack, he gives one to Kurata while performing an [[Unflinching Walk]] slowly towards him. His expression can only be described as "I'm going to kill you".}}

* [[Expy]]: to the original Agumon and its digivolution line.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Takatomon, due to having the same English voice actor as Takato

* [[Incendiary Exponent]]: ShineGreymon Burst Mode full stop.

* [[Informed Ability]]: The Geo Grey Sword is supposed to be a powerful weapon when ShineGreymon first whips it out to defeat Bio Darkdramon. After that, it's sole purpose is to be pulled out, prove completely useless against the [[Monster of the Week]] and then tossed aside so that ShineGreymon's Burst Mode can do the real fighting.

* [[Power Gives You Wings]]: ShineGreymon already had wings, but going into burst mode turns them into wings of fire.

* [[Theme Naming]]: ''Rize''Greymon is followed by ''Shine''Greymon.

Incredibly loyal to Thomas, Gaomon is the strong and quiet type, though he talks more in later episodes. He tends to blush when complimented. He almost always addresses Thomas as "Sir". He tends to be sarcastic towards Agumon.

 

 

His digivolutions are as follows:

** '''Mega''': MirageGaogamon. A knight-like wolf-themed warrior with a big red cape.

*** '''Burst Mode''': MirageGaogamon gains jet thrusters and a giant sickle / flail made of light.

* [[Big Badass Wolf]]

* [[Bishonen Line]]: Miragegaogamon

* [[Cool Shades]]: As MachGaogamon.

* [[Expy]]: To Gabumon and its digivolution line.

* [[Lunacy]]: MirageGaogamon Burst Mode gains its power from the moon.

* [[Megaton Punch]]: MachGaogamon's Winning Knuckle.

 

=== Lalamon ===

 

Yoshi's partner has been with her for years. Though kind-natured, she isn't above teasing her companion.

** '''Mega''': Rosemon. A red-clad female warrior wielding a vine whip and rapier.

*** '''Burst Mode''': Rosemon [[Palette Swap|turns white]] and gains a pink rosary of floating jewels.

* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Gets better as Yoshino does. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the "Tokuten Eizou" special (essentially a [[Clip Show]] with commentary from the main three Digimon), with both Agumon and Gaomon noting that Lalamon was basically useless before she became Lilamon.

* [[Gainaxing]]: Rosemon, with more fanservice than the rest of the series ''combined''.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: As Rosemon, not only her transformation shows her naked, but also her attack Forbidden Temptation and her breasts have a tendency of "jump" when she fights.

* [[Plant Aliens]]

** Her evolution line is a parallel to the Palmon line, with Palmon and Togemon switching places (chubby plant-flower-fairy instead of flower-chubby plant-fairy). Unsurprising as both reach the same Mega form.

** And additional shout out occurs in the twenty-minute "movie" in which Lalamon shows that she knows kung fu and proceeds to beat up mooks while doing Bruce Lee imitations and wielding nun-chucks made out of sausages.

=== ''Falcomon'' ===

 

 

His digivolutions are as follows:

** '''Mega''': Ravemon, a samurai with silver bird armor, one white wing, and one black wing.

*** '''Burst Mode''': Ravemon's arms and wings merge and turn glowy purple. His armor turns white.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: It'll be noticeable by the first digivolution that it's [[Steve Blum]].

** While Japanese [[Zatch Bell]] fans are likely to recognize Chie Kujiro as Coral Q.

* [[Polly Wants a Microphone]]

Their digivolutions are as follows:

* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]

 

=== Kudamon ===

 

 

His digivolutions are as follows:

** '''Ultimate''': Qilinmon, a green Chinese unicorn with big white wings.

** '''Mega''': Kentaurosmon ''(Sleipmon)'', a giant eight-legged Equitar with red armor and a big crossbow. One of the Royal Knights.

* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]

 

=== ''Kamemon'' ===

 

 

His digivolutions are as follows:

** '''Champion''': Gawappamon, a green plush turtle that fires CDs from it's head.

[[File:sarah_damon_8461.jpg|frame]]

 

 

Sarah is Marcus and Kristy's mother, as well as Spencer Damon's wife. While she first appeared, she reacted somewhat casually to Agumon's presence, it was eventually revealed that she had been knowledgeable of the existence of Digimon for some time. Though kind and supportive of her son, she is somewhat fearful when he voiced that he had to go to the Digital World and stop the machinations of Kurata. Her memories of the family's time with Agumon were temporarily erased, but that seems to have been reversed. She later appears to give the former DATS team dinner, and is very dumbfounded when meeting BanchoLeomon for the first time.

* [[Open-Minded Parent]]

* [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: [[Melissa Fahn]] and [[Mary Elizabeth McGlynn]] played another mother/daughter team in ''Tamers'', Rika and Rumiko Nonaka

[[File:Kristy_Damon_11_zwei_3477.jpg|frame]]

 

 

Kristy is Marcus's sister. She was immediately taken with and friendly towards Marcus's rival and friend Thomas, and it was her wish that he escort her and her mother on her birthday. Later, Kristy befriended a newly hatched Digimon who eventually became Biyomon, but this relationship ended when Biyomon was struck down, and later driven to madness after being revived. When her friend was finally defeated, Kristy was happy to know her friend no longer had to suffer. {{spoiler|He comes later back as her partner}}.

* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]

* [[Japanese Sibling Terminology]]: Calls her brother "Masaru-niichan"

* [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: To [[Mary Elizabeth McGlynn]]'s Sarah.

 

=== Biyomon (''Piyomon'') ===

 

* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: A ''really'' dumb one, but still...Though he isn't [[Killed Off for Real]].

* [[Polly Wants a Microphone]]

* [[The Promise]]

[[File:Kurata_akihiro_1672.jpg|frame]]

 

 

* [[Absent-Minded Professor]]: A bit of one when first introduced, particularly when he's around digimon, since he has [[Fantastic Racism|"allergies" towards them.]] Of course, [[Subverted Trope|this demeanor is a ruse.]]

* [[Ax Crazy]]

* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|No, he's not the final opponent... but pretty much everything that goes wrong in the series is his fault, so...}}

* [[Catch Phrase]]: The [[Gratuitous English]] line above.

* [[Despotism Justifies the Means]]: His ultimate plan.

* [[Dirty Coward]]: He's a genocidal monster, but when the tables turn on him, he reacts with complete fear. In the end {{spoiler|1=he responds by begging ShineGreymon Burst Mode to stay back and begs for his life and then asking for someone to save him before he gets vaporized.}}

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Against Digimon.

* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: His humorous quirks only emphasize how he is easily the most monstrous villain of any ''Digimon'' canon.

** He's much worse than that; he believes digimon are dangerous beasts because a Lynxmon had previously attacked him, except that the audience can see that the digimon had only attacked him '''after''' he had shot at it. Additionally Kurata reveals that he had invaded and committed ''genocide'' on the Digital world {{spoiler|which meant a LOT of permanent deaths, among them Keenan's adoptive mother}}, while accusing the Digimon of eventually attacking the Real World due to ''their'' vicious nature!

** He never cared about the damage done by Digimon, he always had plans to use Belphemon to rule the human world, who coincidentally, does more damage in his rampage then all the earlier Digimon COMBINED. Really, his attitude can be summed up as [[It's All About Me]].

* [[Knight of Cerebus]]

* [[Mad Scientist]]

** This was his initial goal but he eventually changes his mind when he realizes Digimon can be controlled. He still keeps up the act however as part of his bid to get the government on his side, who end up funding his [[Take Over the World]] [[Evil Plan|scheme.]]

* [[One-Winged Angel]]: {{spoiler|Merges with Belphemon to become Belphemon Rage Mode, his face appearing in its chest.}}

* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]

* [[The Sociopath]]

* [[Ungrateful Bastard]]: Towards Spencer Damon.

* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: Very good at this.

 

[[File:123025-nanami_picture_2_screen_large_7857.jpg|frame]]

 

* [[Blondes Are Evil]]: Before her [[Heel Face Turn]].

* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]

** [[Fairy Tail|Juvia Lockser]] isn't a blonde.

* [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]]: Living embodiment of this trope...

The god of the Digital World. He's not impressed with how humans have been wrecking his world lately.

 

* [[Anti-Villain]]: Type III. The guy is only trying to protect the Digimon and Kurata tried to ''genocide'' them, it's only natural he'd come to think [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]. That and {{spoiler|the two worlds are about to collide and from his perspective due to Kurata's actions, destroying the human world is the best option.}}

* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]: Thanks to Kurata's completely unprovoked attempted genocide of the Digimon, he's come to believe this. {{spoiler|Marcus manages to convince him otherwise in the end}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Master Computer]]: Is revealed to be the computer that oversees the Digital World. His realizing the limitations this comes with is a major plot point.}}

* [[Physical God]]: Is the god of the Digital World and pretty much has the power to back that up.
