| 9 | -->''"We don't want to leave anyone behind."'' |
| 10 | |
| 11 | The protagonist, whose first name and gender can be set by the player. A member of "Enjoy Chat" and a user of EDEN, who, after being mysteriously given the "Digimon Capture" that allows them to scan and collect Digimon, gets attacked by an Eater and becomes a half-digital entity in the process. They're eventually found by Kyoko, who takes them into her service as her assistant so that they can recover their body and discover the secrets behind Eater and EDEN. They have the special ability to "jump" into digital fields and networks in order to travel between and into different areas that would normally be impossible for someone with a physical body, which is referred to in universe as a "Connection Jump". |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Although in-game their personality is up to the player's interpretation as they're a HeroicMime, reactions to their behavior, along with their sprites and dialogue choices, indicate them to be a friendly, outgoing, helpful, and sociable person. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | The player is given the choice between Terriermon, Palmon, and Hagurumon as a starter, although ultimately they can have any Digimon available in the game. In the Master Cup, their MirrorMatch counterpart uses the evolved forms of the three starters which they are commonly associated with: [=MegaGargomon=], Rosemon and [=HiAndromon=]. |
| 16 | ---- |
| 17 | * AllLovingHero: Their sole dialogue choice when confronted [[spoiler:by Suedou about why they would want to save him after everything he did]] is simply that they don't want anyone to disappear, and indeed up until then they'd been [[spoiler:stubbornly insisting on getting Yuuko and Arata out of Eater even despite their protests]]. There are also multiple points in the game where, after you're given fairly idealistic dialogue choices, other characters will respond that it's something they would say. |
| 18 | ** If a Digimon asks on [=DigiLine=] what they like, their response will simply be that they like so many things that they couldn't possibly list them all. |
| 19 | * AmateurSleuth: Gets hired by Kyoko, a professional detective, to be her assistant despite having no experience or education in the field whatsoever. Granted, circumstances dictate that they're more like engaging in less-than-legal stuff on her behalf and aren't on the official record as working under her as long as their body is in the hospital, but that doesn't explain the large amount of miscellaneous requests they carry on her behalf (that she accepts ''money'' for!). |
| 20 | * AmbiguouslyGay / AmbiguouslyBi: The female protagonist, due to some writing mishaps in which lines blatantly written for the male character (such as hitting on girls in the story) are left untouched for the female. This effect goes both ways, as Arata still seems to want to make himself appear "mysterious and cool" for you if you are a male player too when you chose to play along with it. |
| 21 | * ApocalypticLog: [[spoiler:Played for laughs in Hacker's Memory, where a "Sleuth Memory" tells the tale of Kyoko preparing them coffee.]] |
| 22 | * BigBrotherInstinct: There's an end-game quest where the protagonist befriends a little girl, who they were supposed to be protecting from Digimon, who turned out to be her friends. When they took a longer-then-expected nap and missed their meet up time, they ran across a good chunk of Tokyo in just a few minutes to protect her from a violent Digimon. |
| 23 | * BizarreTasteInFood: Drinking Kyoko's brews for so long has skewed their taste in coffee. [[spoiler:They put mayo in their coffee in the epilogue]]. [[spoiler:Which, given part of TheReveal about Kyoko's identity and Aiba's BackFromTheDead status, [[SoldHisSoulForADonut may as well be Alphamon's]] [[ComicallySmallDemand "price" for doing so]].]] |
| 24 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: An upbeat, cheerful teenager doesn't seem like they'd make an effective detective but their impeccable track record would say otherwise. |
| 25 | * CastFromHitPoints: [[spoiler:Connect Jumping into Eater starts to take a toll on their body, to the point where it finally deteriorates from overusing it.]] |
| 26 | * CessationOfExistence: Aiba faces this if they don't get reunited with their body in time, since their cyber body is essentially an unstable mass of data being held together by sheer force of will. Kyoko outright states that their form ''is'' temporary and will eventually destabilize to the point of collapsing and dispersing completely, leaving only their comatose body which would eventually pass away from complications anyways. [[spoiler:This ends up happenning in the end, but thankfully the PowerOfFriendship allows Alphamon to build a copy of Aiba's data and re-install it into their physical body.]] |
| 27 | * ChekhovsSkill: [[spoiler:Connect Jumping into Eater to save people trapped in it sure comes in helpful later.]] |
| 28 | * ChickMagnet: Downplayed as romance is not a focus of the game, but it's worthy to note that the Protagonist becomes close with a number of women during the story. [[SexyMentor Kyoko]], [[AttentionWhore Nokia]], [[SugarAndIcePersonality Yuuko]], [[TheTease Mirei]], [[GenkiGirl Rina]], [[{{Tsundere}} Sayo and Makiko]] all become fond of them one way or another. Both Rie and Fei also flirt with them at some point. It even [[DudeMagnet extends to Arata.]] |
| 29 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: They have a surprising number of joke dialogue options, have a habit of zoning out and have a habit of breaking tension during serious moments. It's brought up in-universe how they don't seem all-together, but while Kyoko theorizes that this is because of [[spoiler:their cyber body degenerating]], they spend most of the game acting like this. |
| 30 | * ContemplateOurNavels: Around mid-to-late game, several characters will notice that the player tends to "space out" a lot. It's usually PlayedForLaughs, but dialogue from Pete and Kyoko imply that [[spoiler:the spacing out is a sign that their cyber body is deteriorating and "glitching" out.]] |
| 31 | * CrazyEnoughToWork: [[spoiler:"Eaters are digital entities, so..."]] |
| 32 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: They can be rather goofy, jovial and sometimes come off as not being very bright, but they're still extremely competent at what they do. Able to match and defeat members of the Royal Knights one by one is certainty no easy feat. |
| 33 | * CursedWithAwesome: Sure, they're separated from a physical body, but it gives them the ability to jump into computers and travel through networks. Kyoko even considers it a blessing to her investigations. The "cursed" part only comes in as it becomes apparent that [[spoiler:being half-digital makes them susceptible to network disturbances, and overusing Connection Jump will cause them to disintegrate entirely]]. |
| 34 | * DisappearedDad: If a Digimon asks on [=DigiLine=] about their family, their response will be that it's only them and their mom, with no father mentioned. The localization translates one of Kyoko's lines as the protagonist having "parents" (plural),[[labelnote:*]]Likely a mistranslation given the...[[BlindIdiotTranslation hit-and-miss]] quality of the localization.[[/labelnote]] but otherwise no father is ever brought up. |
| 35 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Aiba can be either male or female, but the gender option is completely absent in the midquel with just male Keisuke. |
| 36 | * EnergyBeing: Their "half-cyber body" is essentially a tightly packed cluster of mental data shunted into the real world and ''somehow'' still manages to behave like physical matter. |
| 37 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Due to the above-mentioned writing mishap, this occurs if you play as the female protagonist. |
| 38 | * EvenTheGuysWantHim: Some of Arata's dialogue could be seen as him having an interest in the protagonist too, regardless of which gender they are. |
| 39 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Ami sports a sidetail offset to the left and seems to be tied down by her Digivice when it is not in use. |
| 40 | * FlatCharacter: To the point it's lampshaded by Nokia: |
| 41 | -->"But the funny thing about you is you've got some pretty well-developed relationships considering [[BreakingTheFourthWall how poorly developed your character is]]." |
| 42 | ** Despite Nokia's words, however, they actually [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-Zag this trope]] thruoughout the story. As mentioned above, they tend to be rather hyperactive, and sometimes their dialogue goes in some rather....[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} zany]] directions. They also have a love for food that almost rival's Yuko's, and they're shown to be an AllLovingHero who tries to save as many people as possible. |
| 43 | * ForgottenChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler:They were friends with Arata, Nokia, Yuuko, and Yuugo during the EDEN beta test.]] |
| 44 | * GlassCannon: Their [[LiminalBeing half-cyber body]] is certainly kitted out with powers that offers the best of both worlds, but Kyoko and several others point out that the protagonist is effectively a tightly packed cluster of data that is slowly but surely destabilizing over time; while not exactly as fragile as wet paper, physical exertion is definitely not recommended, especially since stressful acts such as [[spoiler:Connect Jumping into [[EldritchAbomination Eaters]]]] takes a severe toll on the body. [[spoiler:Near the end of the game, the protagonist gets into a fistfight with Arata to [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan snap him out of it]] after pulling him out of an Eater, and the damage from the Connect Jump and the relatively light brawling was enough to cause them to glitch for an instant and interrupt the fight.]] |
| 45 | * GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: They're the protagonist's Digivice, which are used to manage their Digimon, access EDEN, and use [=DigiLine=]. [[MundaneUtility The female protagonist also uses hers as a hair tie]] which in turn means [[GogglesDoNothing she can't wear them the conventional way when holding her hair up.]] After being turned into a half-cyber entity, though, the utility of their Digivice is moot at best. |
| 46 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:They hit one after they recover their memories of the EDEN beta test, as they assimilate almost completely into the recreation and the dialogue choices indicates they've snapped, not helped by the fact that it is ''excruciatingly'' obvious how much pain they're in from their body's deterioration by then.]] |
| 47 | -->''[[spoiler:[[MadnessMantra If only it could have stayed like this...If only it could have stayed like this...]]]] |
| 48 | * HeroicMime: An odd case; their dialogue isn't written out (although their sprites and other dialogue indicate they are indeed saying something unseen to the player), but their internal dialogue is laid bare for the player to see, revealing them to be a fairly upbeat and cheerful person. The contrast is somewhat jarring in-game. |
| 49 | * HiddenDepths: They really, ''really'' like food. Whenever there's an eating scene, the protagonist will go into incredible depth describing how perfectly prepared the food is. Oftentimes, it serves as a DeliciousDistraction, as they often zone out of conversations to think about food. |
| 50 | * HumanoidAbomination: Aiba's "original" half-cyber body form is essentially a vaguely humanoid mass of translucent blue data, and is apparently so disturbing it almost gets them ''arrested'' as soon as they manifest in the real world, but thankfully Kyoko helps them modify their form so that they look normal enough to walk around in public without attracting undue attention. [[spoiler:Late in the game, when their body is beginning to break down, they will periodically flash between their disguised form and the "data" form.]] |
| 51 | * LiminalBeing: Their "half-cyber body" is described as essentially a cluster of data that somehow still retains a physical presence in the real world. Effectively making them the same sort of being as the Digimon themselves. Their unique state grants them several advantages otherwise impossible for others. [[spoiler:Including the ability to separate an Eater from its host]]. |
| 52 | * MagneticHero: Lampshaded by Nokia. |
| 53 | * MissingMom: Their mom, Yukino, is a reporter working overseas; the plan was for them to go visit her until the events of the game occurred. She keeps in touch over [=DigiLine=] throughout the game, but isn't present. |
| 54 | * MoralityPet: [[spoiler:For Alphamon. [[ToBeLawfulOrGood Stuck between their duty as a Royal Knight and doing what's right to protect both worlds]] they ask the protagonist to guide their allegiance.]] |
| 55 | * MsFanservice: The female protagonist could be seen as this due to her skirt, ZettaiRyouiki and her rather nice figure. |
| 56 | * MythologyGag: The male default name matches how the anime leads would typically have names that started with the character "Ta", while the female's is in a more [[AlliterativeName "standard"]] protagonist naming style. |
| 57 | * NiceGuy: Generally speaking, although you're capable of making some sly remarks once in a while via the dialogue options. |
| 58 | * OnlySaneMan: They're a little goofy, but still easily the most normal and sane member of the main cast. |
| 59 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When they are ''not'' acting goofy, friendly, or sane, however, then you know something is very, ''very'' wrong. |
| 60 | ** When they discover that a man they were helping to meet a girl turns out to be a ''stalker'' trying to get the girl's personal information, they go ballistic, though still with a humorous CloudCuckooLander vibe. All the dialogue choices entail chewing said stalker out in a very non-friendly way and scaring them into submission, and one of the post confrontation choices even has them admit it feels good to "go off the hook" every once and a while. |
| 61 | ** Another time occurs at the end of the same mission where Arata reveals details about EDEN Syndrome, namely that there may not be a cure for it after all since it means that the victim's mental data was ''deleted'' from their minds. Given that ''they'' are a victim of EDEN Syndrome suffering an OutOfBodyExperience, the news causes their facade to slip, just a little, as they consider the possibility that they may never return to their body, before [[IllPretendIDidntHearThat pretending they didn't hear that]] part of the conversation. |
| 62 | ** Arguably, the biggest moment comes on the heels of the [[spoiler:revelation about what happened in the EDEN Beta test. They break down ''[[HeroicBSOD completely]]'' and allow Crusadermon to assimilate them into the simulation, all while repeating a MadnessMantra about how they wished they all could have stayed in the beta test.]] |
| 63 | ** They also don't hold back on [[spoiler:Suedou when they encounter him again after seeing what he'd done to the now Eater-fused and insane Arata.]] While we don't actually ''see'' what they say, their expression and [[spoiler:Suedou's]] reaction makes it clear that their words for [[spoiler:him]] are anything ''but'' polite. |
| 64 | * OutOfBodyExperience: They become a half-digital entity after being attacked by a Eater. They're still capable of manifesting in the real world, but they're separated from their real body, and express a desire to return to it, especially when it becomes apparent that being separated will cause ''both'' bodies to deteriorate until they can reunite. |
| 65 | * ThePowerOfFriendship: It's said that they're able to accomplish much of what they do throughout the game through their bonds with their friends and their Digimon. [[spoiler:Ultimately, this is what allows their Digimon to gather up their data and return them to their body.]] |
| 66 | * PurelyAestheticGender: The gender selection only changes their appearance and battle voice clips; other than that, it affects nothing, even scenes or dialogue choices that you'd normally expect to be made for the male protagonist. There are some ''small'' acknowledgements of their gender here and there; for instance, during a case where the player and Kyoko must figure out a fitting present for a girl, Kyoko will comment to a female player that she is too "worldly" to know what a girl actually wants. |
| 67 | * ScrewDestiny: Mirei and [[spoiler:Suedou]] both think their Connection Jump could alter fate. |
| 68 | * SilentSnarker: Although they're a sort of HeroicMime (see above), some of their facial expressions tend to fall into this category. |
| 69 | * TheSnackIsMoreInteresting: When going out to eat, the sleuth is so absorbed in their meal they completely tune out everything around them. Nokia gets upset about this at one point. |
| 70 | * RunningGag: Being late. If the player is tasked with attending a meeting of some sort, they are almost ''always'' late to it. |
| 71 | * SecretlyDying: ZigZagged. Kyoko and several others aware of their state know that it is only temporary and that eventually Aiba ''will'' collapse and disperse completely if they don't get back to their body. [[spoiler:The "secret" part comes into play when it is obvious Aiba is not telling anyone just ''how'' bad their deterioration is getting; the reactions of their friends during the final fight when they almost disperse right in front of them while trying to Connect Jump makes it clear that none of them knew that Aiba was teetering on the brink of nonexistence itself.]] |
| 72 | * SociallyAwkwardHero: They're definitely...hyperactive for a protagonist. Along with their {{Cloudcuckoolander}} antics and...[[AttentionDeficitOohShiny marginal attention span]], several times they will also space out, often engaging in InnerMonologue and becoming distracted to the point that other characters take notice (most notably during the food tour the team takes). There's also the implication they have little sense of personal space or social awareness, at one point taking a comment Nokia makes regarding her "scent" to ''sniff'' her, much to Nokia's understandable bafflement, and some of their comments imply they feel more comfortable in online chats than in the real world, which, along with the incidents above, can point to Aiba possibly having A.D.H.D. or even Aspergers. [[spoiler:While at least some of their behavior can be explained by their half-digital body breaking down over time,]] they still exhibited these traits even early in the game. |
| 73 | * StepfordSmiler: It is implied that they occasionally use their upbeat and AllLovingHero attitude to hide how depressed they actually are over their admittedly serious condition; at one point, they have a conversation with Arata, and discover that, as far as the medical professionals can tell, EDEN Syndrome is permanent and there may not actually be a way to return to their body before they disperse. Their response is to "[[IllPretendIDidntHearThat pretend [they] didn't hear that]]" and continue on. They still have moments where their facade slips, most notably when [[spoiler:they fall into Crusadermon's Beta EDEN trap and learn the circumstances that brought the Eaters to the Digital World.]] |
| 74 | * TomboyishPonytail: The female has a sidetail to make her "cuter" and no matter how you play her she comes across as more [[TomBoy active and "boyish"]] than most of the other girls in the game barring possibly Makiko, not helped by the as mentioned issues having the male and female dialogues largely the same. |

| 76 | !Kyoko Kuremi |
| 77 | [[quoteright:207:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyoko_kuremi.png]] |
| 78 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaayaSakamoto |
| 79 | |
| 80 | A detective specializing in cyber crimes, possessing a philosophical streak, a detective's natural curiosity, and quite a bit of knowledgeable intuition. Upon discovering the protagonist in their half-digitized state, she recruits them as her assistant, offering to help them recover their body in exchange for them assisting her in detective jobs and an ongoing investigation into EDEN. |
| 81 | ---- |
| 82 | * AffectionateNickname: She occasionally uses "[[Literature/SherlockHolmes my dear Watson]]" for the protagonist, among other names. |
| 83 | * BigDamnHeroes: Repeatedly. Most notably when she drives up and saves the player from being arrested when they materialize in the real world in their digital form. Then later [[spoiler:when she drives straight into a digital shift to help the player fight Crusadermon as Alphamon.]] |
| 84 | * BodySurf: [[spoiler:The "original" Kyoko was attacked and consumed by Eaters in EDEN, and as a result came down with EDEN Syndrome, leaving her body in a permanent coma without her mental data. When Alphamon made the jump into EDEN from the Digital World, they were severely weakened, and had to inhabit Kyoko's comatose body to prevent ending up like Omnimon, who ended up split between Gabumon and Agumon and inflicted with amnesia. By a sheer stroke of luck, Kyoko's and Alphamon's intentions and sense of justice were so similar that there was practically no rejection or data corruption, allowing the two to exist as one.]] |
| 85 | * CoolCar: Doubly so for being a V8 sports car in a country where compact vehicles are almost omnipresent, and is [[spoiler:Apparently made out of Alphamon's armor.]] Perceptive players may notice that [[spoiler:it's an Alphamon-colored '''Alfa''' Romeo '''Mon'''treal.]] |
| 86 | * CordonBleughChef: Matayoshi warns the protagonist during their first meeting to watch out for Kyoko's coffee, and ''he's not kidding''; her "experiments" include putting in things like yogurt, sea urchin, oyster sauce, or mayonnaise. The protagonist and Arata end up hapless victims. A journal entry in ''Hacker's Memory'' reveals that her coffee making process consists of cramming ingredients like fish eyes and bean paste into a blender and then dumping the resulting goop into the coffee. [[spoiler:It suddenly makes more sense when it is revealed she is actually a Digimon with little to no concept of human cuisine, and becomes a BrickJoke, as the protagonist ultimately takes mayonnaise and coffee with them when meeting up with Kyoko in the epilogue. As it turns out, Alphamon's the one responsible for this aspect; the real Kyoko is receptive to the idea, but finds it odd.]] |
| 87 | * DynamicEntry: Using her CoolCar [[spoiler:or more specifically, ''fusing with'' the CoolCar]] to save the protagonist. |
| 88 | * {{Expy}}: Her physical appearance, demeanor, and motivation [[spoiler:to find out what happened to her father]] seem to be heavily influenced by [[Franchise/{{Danganronpa}} Kyoko Kirigiri.]] |
| 89 | * InfoDump: Kyoko frequently goes on and on about various supernatural rumors, mythological legends, and monsters. The protagonist's WhatWouldXDo moment has them ramble about the origin of Nues. [[spoiler:Alphamon makes a point of giving one final InfoDump as a way of saying goodbye as Kyoko]]. |
| 90 | * InnocentBystander: When [[spoiler:Suedou was trying to stop Kishibe from taking over Kamishiro Enterprises by deploying several eaters, Kyoko happens to be baited into Cyberspace EDEN by Kishibe when investigating the illegal activity per Kamishiro's request. This resulted in both women being indiscriminately attacked by the Eaters and inflicted by EDEN Syndrome, in which Alphamon takes the opportunity to take over Kyoko's body.]] |
| 91 | * JustJokingJustification: Near the end of the game, [[spoiler:after reviving Aiba, she (as Alphamon) offers Aiba the choice between returning to the human world, or [[IChooseToStay becoming a Digimon and staying in the Digital World]] as their partner. They follow up with saying that they just wanted to [[{{Troll}} mess with Aiba]] one last time, but the sincere tone in Alphamon's voice while they make the offer gives off implications that it ''was'' serious, but Alphamon changed their mind after seeing how conflicted it was making poor Aiba.]] |
| 92 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "The Ending Has Lots of Coffee" |
| 93 | * TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: [[spoiler:The "Kyoko" that the cast interacts with over the course of the game, despite being an empty body inhabited by a Digimon, has a personality fusion of both entities: Kyoko's intelligence, curiosity, and intuition combined with Alphamon's odd taste in coffee and "regal", slightly masculine form of speech (although Alphamon does make sure to state that this was only possible because their intentions were already similar). After Alphamon leaves and the original Kyoko's is restored to her body, she seems to have residual, unconscious memories of the experience, as she asks the protagonist if they've met before and says that she feels she's forgetting "something very important".]] |
| 94 | * MissionControl: Her detective agency in Nakano Broadway is the home base for the protagonist's operations, and she's responsible for guiding them through detective requests and their investigative ventures. |
| 95 | * MsFanservice: Though only in her character design; it's never commented on or pointed out in-game, other than the generic comment every so often about her being "beautiful". |
| 96 | * NavelDeepNeckline: Her jacket has a plunging v-neckline that goes down to her midriff and she's [[VaporWear clearly not wearing any top garment whatsoever under that jacket]]. (The actual 3D sprite closes it a little tighter.) |
| 97 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: It is subtle, but one of the few times you ever see her genuinely taken aback by something is when [[spoiler:Aiba offhandedly mentions the Digital World, at which point she all but ''demands'' to know where Aiba heard that term, this coming from someone who typically has the answers to a question before you even know what the question ''is.'' Given that she is Alphamon, one of the Digimon Royal Knights, and humans are ''not'' supposed to be aware of the Digital World at this point, her reaction makes sense.]] |
| 98 | * VisualPun: In the form of her car. [[spoiler:Alphamon drives an '''Alfa''' Romeo '''Mon'''treal.]] |
| 99 | * {{Yokai}}: She has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of them and Shinto folklore, and often makes comparisons of things they encounter to them. |
| 100 | * YouKilledMyFather: Her father is believed to have been murdered in the process of investigating Kamishiro Enterprises, and Matayoshi considers it to be a huge motivation for both of them to be finishing what he started. Although Kyoko certainly has respect for her father, she never mentions it herself, [[spoiler:probably because her priorities are more invested in the fact she's actually a Digimon who wants to save humanity and the Digital World]]. |
| 101 | |
| 102 | !Nokia Shiramine |
| 103 | [[quoteright:232:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nokia_shiramine.png]] |
| 104 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MegumiHan |
| 105 | |
| 106 | An outspoken and positive-thinking girl whom the protagonist and Arata had met through chat and met up in EDEN, who also receives the "Digimon Capture" from an unknown source. Although initially terrified of the Digimon, she meets and bonds with Agumon and Gabumon, partnering with them in the hopes of helping them get their memories back. Eventually, after slinking away from some fights, she decides to get over her cowardice, train with Agumon and Gabumon, and form a hacker team called the "Rebels" to fight for the well being of Digimon in EDEN. |
| 107 | |
| 108 | Her partners are Agumon and Gabumon -> [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=] -> Omnimon. |
| 109 | ---- |
| 110 | * AchievementsInIgnorance: Despite having almost no knowledge of hacking or of Digimon, she manages to [[spoiler: form a hacker group of her own, evolve her partners to Mega level, and then evolve them past Mega, just through hoping something good will happen if she tries hard enough.]] All through a mixture of dumb luck and pure stubbornness. |
| 111 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: She's fond of this, commenting on everyone's characters from time to time, although it's hard to say whether she's breaking the fourth wall or simply likes to use terms related to fiction (she at one point refers to her MP being at 0, despite no such concept existing in the game). |
| 112 | * BrokenPedestal: Up until he threatened her and tried to take Agumon and Gabumon away from her, Nokia was a fangirl of Jimiken (she'll still listen to his music, but he's a target of her hatred). |
| 113 | * CatchPhrase: "Things will work out somehow!" [[spoiler:She later upgrades it to "I'll make it work somehow!"]] |
| 114 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Is this for the protagonist as seen in the fact she gets jealous when she thinks there's another girl they're interested in, despite the fact she tries to earn every guys attention. |
| 115 | * ConverseWithTheUnconscious: [[spoiler:The epilogue involves her, accompanied by the others, catching the comatose protagonist on what's happened since their defeat of Mother Eater, and begging for them to return.]] |
| 116 | * CowardlyLion: Starts off this way at the beginning of the game prior to [[TookALevelInBadass taking a huge, huge step out of it]]. |
| 117 | * CutenessProximity: After she gets a good look at Agumon and Gabumon, she is quick to think that they're cute. |
| 118 | * TheDitz: The girl can barely survive in EDEN either by a combination of sheer good luck or ThePowerOfFriendship. To make a point, when she forms the Rebels, it was ''very'' implausible for her to get into [[spoiler:the Avalon Server]], but then ''Hacker's Memory'' revealed that [[spoiler:her group only managed to get in there thanks to becoming friends with Chitose, who at the time was working solo and gladly used his skills for her benefit.]] |
| 119 | * DudeMagnet: PlayedForLaughs, quite a few of her Rebels are smitten with her. |
| 120 | * ForgottenChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler:She was friends with the protagonist, Arata, Yuuko, and Yuugo at the time of the EDEN beta test, or at least close enough with them for Yuugo to know her personality fairly well.]] |
| 121 | * GenkiGirl: The most cheerful and outwardly excitable of the group. |
| 122 | * GirlishPigtails: She's the most GirlyGirl in the game by far and they also parallel her avatar's candy-wrapper shaped head. |
| 123 | * HotBlooded: Her impulsiveness gets her into a nasty habit of [[LeeroyJenkins charging into events without really thinking them through]]. |
| 124 | * JustYouMeAndMyGuards: Attempts to pull this in the early parts of the game (with the protagonist as the guard) in order to hide the fact that she's actually terrified and incapable of doing much, until Agumon and Gabumon call her out on it. |
| 125 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "PO-SI-TIVE♡pop girl" |
| 126 | * TheLoad: Is this at first, to the point where she attempts to push any conflict onto the protagonist in the early parts of the game. [[ActionGirl She gets better.]] |
| 127 | * MsFanservice: She's quite explicitly hopeful that guys around her will be into her "sexy-cute body". Interestingly, despite the fact that her character design bares a large amount of skin, it's mostly covered up in her 3D sprites, and other characters don't comment on what they think about it. Her body may be one of the reasons she even got people to join her hacker group. |
| 128 | * TheNicknamer: To a small extent; she immediately gets clingy to Yuuko and names her "Yuukorin" ("Yuukocchi" in the Japanese version) and eventually starts calling Arata "Geeta" (geek Arata). |
| 129 | * OlympusMons: Her partner Digimon for most of the story is [[spoiler:Omnimon, a Royal Knight and who is often depicted as one of the most powerful Digimon in the entire franchise.]] |
| 130 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: She is almost constantly plucky, positive, and ''loud.'' So it says a lot when [[spoiler:she collapses in the middle of the street and quietly breaks down when Aiba's over-stressed cyber body finally disperses during the transit back to the physical world.]] |
| 131 | * PleaseWakeUp: [[spoiler:To the comatose protagonist at the end, begging them to wake up and help them locate Kyoko.]] |
| 132 | * PluckyGirl: Boy is she ever; her relentless positivity ends up being a draw factor for recruiting members into The Rebels, despite the fact that she doesn't have much hacker experience. Even during the latter half of the game, when faced with [[spoiler:Arata succumbing to Eater and the Royal Knights looming even further]], she briefly becomes a little dejected, but never fully succumbs to HeroicBSOD level. [[spoiler:Aiba finally succumbing to data deterioration and evaporating in front of her ''just as they were about to come back home'' to push her into a BSOD, causing her to break down in the street when they return. She manages to recover within a few weeks, but it is obvious during her [[ConverseWithTheUnconscious conversation with the protagonist's physical but still comatose body]] that it still hurts and she just wants her friend back.]] |
| 133 | * SmallNameBigEgo: She's convinced she has a "sexy-cute body" and expects every male in the vicinity to be into her self-proclaimed irresistible looks. Nobody in the game ever actually disagrees, though they do show a certain degree of exasperation, and at one point someone refers to a doll that looks uncannily like her as an "ugly one done as an experiment" that isn't selling well. |
| 134 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Anything having to do with eggs. When she, Arata, and the main character are sent as food critics, she always orders something with egg in it. |
| 135 | * VitriolicBestBuds: She doesn't get on particularly good terms with Arata; she considers him pretentious, while he considers her idiotic. Deep down, though, it's clear they do care for each other deeply. |
| 136 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: After befriending Agumon and Gabumon and realizing that they're living beings rather than hacker programs, her motivation for the rest of the game becomes creating an environment where Digimon and humans can get along in peace, and hackers can stop treating their Digimon like slave programs. |

| 138 | !Arata Sanada |
| 139 | [[quoteright:293:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arata_sanada.png]] |
| 140 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaisukeKishio, Creator/NaomiShindo (child) |
| 141 | |
| 142 | An aloof boy who'd also met with the protagonist and Nokia in chat and received the "Digimon Capture". He has considerable skill in hacking and seems to have been part of a big-time hacker group in the past, but refuses to mention anything about it. Throughout the game, he assists the protagonist in investigating "Digital Shifts" that begin to half-digitize areas of Tokyo, expressing a particular curiosity in Eater and how to get the protagonist back to their body. Despite his cold personality, there's a much softer and compassionate side underneath...not that he'll willingly let you see that. |
| 143 | |
| 144 | His partner is Keramon -> Chrysalimon -> Infermon (and [[MythologyGag predictably]] Diaboromon if you complete a certain sidequest near the end of the game). |
| 145 | ---- |
| 146 | * AdaptationalHeroism: His Digimon partner consists of the entire Keramon line, which were famously featured in ''[[Recap/DigimonAdventureMovieOurWarGame Our War Game]]'', a.k.a. the second part of ''Anime/DigimonTheMovie'', as its BigBad. Here, while it's fiercely loyal to Arata, it does not join [[spoiler:his FaceHeelTurn]] and only digivolves into Diaboromon after [[spoiler:Arata becomes good again]]. |
| 147 | * AmbiguouslyBi: As mentioned under EvenTheGuysWantHim Arata tries pretty hard to impress Nokia and Aiba by making himself appear more "mysterious and cool", regardless of the latter's gender. [[spoiler:Even if both of them are girls the way it's regaining his memories of Yuugo, who is said to have been his "closest friend" when they were kids, that leads to his breakdown can come across as questionable.]] |
| 148 | * AxCrazy: Shows some signs of this in [[spoiler:Odaiba before the second Examon battle. He even has [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] of madness!]] |
| 149 | -->'''Arata:''' [[spoiler:More, more, more... [[MadnessMantra More,]] [[DrunkWithPower more,]] [[CameBackWrong more,]] [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity more and more]]!]] |
| 150 | * BlatantLies: He walked into the "[=ComiMani=]" (comic maniacs) forum purely out of interest and thought it stood for something like "Communist Manufacturing", he swears! |
| 151 | * ClosetGeek: Arata tries to play the role of a "cool hacker against authority", but he's actually a huge nerd and it shows through on several occasions, like when he's geeking out about manga and the player becoming a cyber sleuth. This leads to lots of teasing from Nokia and eventually Yuuko. The player can [[VideogameCrueltyPotential get in on it too]] sometimes. Get him to talk about comics and he'll start rambling on and on about them ''even after you ask him to stop''. |
| 152 | * CoolBigBro: DiscussedTrope. Nokia notes that as [=BlueBox=], he has the air of an older brother who looked out for both Nokia and Aiba. |
| 153 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Despite the fact that his partner's evolutionary line has generally appeared as antagonists in Digimon media, particularly in the anime, Arata himself is not a bad person in the slightest. [[spoiler:When he goes off the deep end on his FaceHeelTurn, he doesn't even use his partner during that time, and after being brought back to normal his epiphany that he's developed into a better person is what triggers his partner's digivolution into Diaboromon - infamous for being the main antagonist in the second ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' movie.]] |
| 154 | * {{Expy}}: Several players draw comparisons for Arata to [[Franchise/{{Naruto}} Sasuke Uchiha]]. Especially later in the game when he [[spoiler:goes with a mysterious MadScientist who promises him power in order to accomplish his goals and said "power" ends up giving him a SuperPoweredEvilside and he ends up fighting his friends.]] |
| 155 | ** Design-wise, he's a dead ringer for the protagonist of ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2''. |
| 156 | * FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Briefly joins with Suedou and partially merges with Eater in the hopes of getting stronger after being reminded of his failure to save Yuugo, resulting in him going on a rampage around town and eating data. Although he doesn't ''completely'' become a heel initially as he still helps you defeat Examon, it culminates in him temporarily "eating" Gallantmon and eventually attacking you and your friends to make you "disappear". Eventually, the protagonist snaps him out of it.]] |
| 157 | * ForgottenChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler:He was friends with the protagonist, Nokia, Yuuko, and Yuugo during the EDEN beta test. The extent of his friendship with the others isn't fully clarified, but he refers to Yuugo as his best friend.]] |
| 158 | * TheGadfly: He enjoys being a bit of a troll to his friends, ranging from trying to scare an already clearly nervous Nokia when they first meet in person for the hell of it to giving you [[NightmareFetishist horrific romantic advice]] if you try asking him for some just to see how you'll react. Oddly enough though Nokia seems to indicate he doesn't actually do this often with his friends online as it comes up when she negatively compares him to how he handles himself as Blue Box. |
| 159 | * GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: [[spoiler:The protagonist's response to him refusing to leave Eater is by punching him directly in the face. This causes Arata to angrily retaliate and for the two to enter a punching brawl...but his angry reaction indicates that HesBack.]] |
| 160 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:After his Eater form is defeated, he resigns himself to being weak and useless and unable to do anything, telling the protagonist not to save him.]] |
| 161 | * HiddenDepths: Arata is a Sushi connoisseur, knowing several facts and even the order you're supposed to eat the different kinds in. |
| 162 | * IneffectualLoner: Subverted. He ''acts'' like a cool loner, but he actually has a decently large circle of friends that he doesn't mind relying on. [[spoiler:He becomes a straight example after absorbing Eaters]]. |
| 163 | * InsistentTerminology: He's a geek, not a nerd. ''[[ClosetGeek And he's not a geek!]]'' |
| 164 | * ItsAllMyFault: Continually a victim of this; he blames himself for not getting you out of EDEN on time to prevent you losing your body, then for [[spoiler:failing to trigger the Tokyo blackout on time to stop the dimensional gate from opening]]. His repeated failure to arrive on time to save Eater victims starts to take a toll on his self-confidence as the game progresses. By the time he's reminded of the second incident described in MyGreatestFailure below, he does ''not'' take it well. |
| 165 | * IWorkAlone: Tries to invoke this when [[spoiler:he's about to get on the police's wanted list for causing the Tokyo blackout]]. Nokia calls him out for being cool, but Yuuko correctly identifies that [[spoiler:he's trying not to get his friends in legal trouble by assuming responsibility for the crime]]. When the protagonist meets up with him later, he admits that being on the lam really sucks, but still tries to keep up the act anyway. |
| 166 | * TheLeader: [[spoiler:Arata was the former leader of the Judes group of hackers until an attack after they raided Under Zero ended up destroying their accounts and driving some insane from fear. That being said, he gets the band back together for a last fight in Chapter 10.]] |
| 167 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "HACKING PRIDE" |
| 168 | * MyGreatestFailure: Two. The first was [[spoiler:leading Judes to Under Zero, resulting in everyone there being traumatized by the Knightmon there and the team's ultimate disbandment]]. The second, which gets him on a far deeper level, is [[spoiler:hesitating to save Yuugo, his best friend, from Eater, then forgetting about the incident and Yuugo via Suedou-inflicted amnesia right after]]. |
| 169 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:As Eater Adam.]] |
| 170 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:He gets dark red eyes along with his RedRightHand]]. |
| 171 | * RedRightHand: [[spoiler:Gives himself one by assimilating an Eater. Thanks to Suedou's preparations he maintains control over it, but the resulting HorrorHunger and deadening of his empathy cement him as a villain until it's dealt with. It eventually leads to...]] |
| 172 | * ShoutOut: He greatly resembles the protagonist of ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2'' in terms of apperance. |
| 173 | * {{Tsundere}}: In ''spades''. He has a tendency to react with embarrassment and denial anytime you uncover a softer side of his personality, [[DiggingYourselfDeeper which only spirals it down further]]. |
| 174 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Nokia isn't fond of his cold attitude of "trying to act cool" and Arata isn't fond of her HotBlooded impulsiveness and occasional stupidity, so they tend to butt heads a lot, but ultimately they are friends and Arata seems to get legitimate fun out of teasing her. |
| 175 | * WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler:The scene in which he punches the protagonist in the face takes place regardless of selected gender.]] To be fair to him, [[spoiler:she ''did'' punch him first]]. |
| 176 | |
| 177 | !Yuuko Kamishiro |
| 178 | [[quoteright:269:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_yuuko21.jpg]] |
| 179 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaeIto |
| 180 | |
| 181 | The polite and reserved daughter of Satoru Kamishiro, who had been president of EDEN's parent company Kamishiro Enterprises until his sudden and mysterious suicide. Believing that there's no way her father could have committed suicide, she enlists the help of you and Kyoko to help investigate. She also takes a personal interest in EDEN Syndrome, as someone close to her seems to be a victim of it. Her Digimon partner is a Gaiomon. |
| 182 | ---- |
| 183 | * ADarkerMe: After [[spoiler:learning that Crusadermon killed her father]], she noticeably takes on a few more cold and biting/sarcastic traits at certain moments, which the others jokingly refer to as "Yuuko the Blackhearted". Kyoko notes that she's been putting on so many different kinds of "masks" (the president's daughter, [[spoiler:the leader of a team of hackers]], a shy and lonely girl) that she's starting to display other unprecedented sides to her personality. |
| 184 | * AmbiguouslyBi: In her introduction, Rie wonders aloud whether or not Yuuko might be hiding someone in the hospital ward, perhaps a boyfriend or even a girlfriend. Whether this is Rie's legitimate insight into Yuuko's preference or just Rie being Rie is unclear. |
| 185 | ** She ''does'' end up acting fairly {{Tsundere}} towards both the male and female protagonist, although that may have to do with certain writing-related mishaps (see PurelyAestheticGender above). |
| 186 | ** In ''Hacker's Memory'', she ends up thinking for a long while what her exact relationship with Fei is, with her not being able to find the words but acknowledging that Fei is someone very important to her, to Fei's joy. |
| 187 | * BerserkButton: Anything relevant to her father's death - her reaction to Kyoko mentioning his suicide is yelling firmly that her father would ''not'' commit suicide, and [[spoiler:after Crusadermon is revealed as his murderer, the mere subject sends her into TranquilFury]]. |
| 188 | * BigEater: She's often caught hanging around restaurants checking out some large food deal, and a sidequest reveals she can eat portions for multiple people and still be hungry. [[spoiler:She also happens to be an online hobby food reviewer in her free time.]] Also, when asked about what her ideal romantic gift would be: it's [[spoiler:"a huge onigiri filled with love"]]. |
| 189 | * BrokenBird: The poor girl already has it rough from the beginning of the game: her twin brother is comatose, her father has mysteriously died (and is accused of committing suicide), and her family company is slowly falling into the hands of a power hungry corporate executive officer; there is no mention of her mother, and thus other immediate family. She firmly enters this status after the events regarding the Mother Eater. |
| 190 | * CuteAndPsycho: After apologizing for saying cruel things to the protagonist [[spoiler:when out for revenge on Crusadermon]], she puts on this demeanor when insisting that they forget about it, leading to them labeling her "Yuuko the Blackhearted". |
| 191 | * DespairEventHorizon: Crosses it after being assimilated into the Mother Eater. By that point, in order, she's learned that ''all'' of her work as Yuugo was manipulated by Rie for her own selfish gains; that she, Yuuko, contributed to the many Eden Syndrome victims that resulted from the Under Zero operation. Furthermore, Rie has officially taken over her father's company, perverting the one familial tie Yuuko had to her practically nonexistent family. This also strips her of what little company power she had as a minor. The fact that Rie threatens Yuugo's safety while he's comatose only makes it worse. Following that, Rie painfully extracts her memories necessary to bring the Royal Knights to earth and begin the Digimon invasion. And ''following that'' she's forcibly assimilated into an Eater, that painfully feeds on her emotional state and body while her friends take care not to injure her in her monstrous form during battle. By the time Aiba is able to rescue her, she's completely given up hope of anything actually going her way. |
| 192 | * {{Expy}}: Visually, she resembles [[VideoGame/DigimonWorldReDigitize Yuuya]], having similar fashion sense and also being the child of a major corporation's leader. That's where the similarities stop, though. |
| 193 | * FalseFlagOperation: Uses the detective agency as a patsy and a fake name so she can investigate the account raiders attacking EDEN without being identified by her ties to the Kamishiro Corporation [[spoiler:or her secret identity as the head of Zaxon]]. |
| 194 | * ForgottenChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler:She and her brother were friends with the protagonist, Nokia, and Arata during the EDEN beta test.]] |
| 195 | * FriendlessBackground: She has poor social skills and little experience in having friends, as when told to act like the protagonist is her school friend she believes that this means she has to act like a {{Tsundere}} towards you. She also has a poor grasp on what it means to be a friend, and it takes a while before she acknowledges you as one. [[spoiler:It seems that she'd been friends with the protagonist, Nokia, and Arata as kids, although to what extent is unknown, and her memories of them were wiped after the EDEN beta test incident.]] |
| 196 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:After discovering that Rie had been manipulating her actions every time she'd been acting as "Yuugo", she falls into despair and tells the protagonist to give up on rescuing her because everything she'd done had been for nothing. The protagonist and Fei's [=TigerVespamon=] have to remind her that [[YouAreNotAlone she's not alone]] in order for her to recover from it.]] |
| 197 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "MESSAGE", which notably isn't named after her but the significant yet unrelated event it's used in ([[spoiler:Nokia's message to the comatose protagonist in the epilogue]]). |
| 198 | * NotSoStoic: At any mention of her father's death if it's anything related to suicide. |
| 199 | ** On a more humorous level, talking about food makes her a lot more open and happy than she would be ordinarily. |
| 200 | * {{Ojou}}: Played with; although she's the daughter of the former Kamishiro Enterprises president and is able to use her connections to get the protagonist and Kyoko in when they need to do investigations, she's not of age and is thus given few access privileges while Rie is the company head. [[spoiler:She does take control of leading the company when Rie's disappearance causes it to go into disarray, though it's not said whether this is an official position.]] It's also implied she has quite a bit of money; [[spoiler:when she submits a request as "Yuugo", Kyoko mentions that "he" paid it off right away and comments that "he" must be of good upbringing]], and later when Nokia runs out of money to help supply Agumon and Gabumon's massive appetites, she foots the entire bill for everyone present ''and'' takes them all out for dessert. |
| 201 | * ParentalAbandonment: What happened to her mother is never mentioned or explained, but her father's death [[spoiler:and her brother falling into EDEN Syndrome]] is said to have left her with no family. [[spoiler:Although Satoru is restored to life after the CosmicRetcon, the epilogue also has Nokia comment that with Rie making moves on Yuuko's father, she may very well end up becoming Yuuko's new mother, meaning that Satoru indeed does not have a currently living wife.]] |
| 202 | * {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:Alphamon's original plan is just to finish dealing with Crusadermon for the time being and leave, but Yuuko wants revenge for her father's death. She gets it.]] |
| 203 | * ShrinkingViolet: She's aloof and fairly shy. [[spoiler:It's for this reason that the "Yuugo" avatar comes with an artificial personality, as she wouldn't have been able to lead Zaxon with her own demure disposition.]] She does, however, have the capacity for some well-timed cold remarks, which the protagonist and Nokia jokingly refer to as "Yuuko the Blackhearted". |
| 204 | * TakeAThirdOption: Upon visiting Fei and Keisuke at the Central Hospital, her and Fei's relationship is called into question by Keisuke. When asked by the two to clarify what she views the relationship as, [[spoiler:she opts to neither confirm it as platonic or romantic, instead simply saying how Fei is "precious" to her and that their relationship is something that cannot be put into words.]] |
| 205 | * TerseTalker: At the beginning of the game. She would rarely say more than she'd need to; while she opens up as the story continues, she still remains the quietest of the main cast. This even extends to [[spoiler:both her partner Digimon, Machinedramon and Gaiomon respectively.]] |
| 206 | * TranquilFury: [[spoiler:She becomes very cold and passive-aggressive to you as you accompany her after discovering that Crusadermon was responsible for her father's death; although she never gets to the point of violent anger, she gets extremely frustrated with you for supposedly taking the situation too lightly and even denies that you're her friend. She apologizes for it later.]] |
| 207 | * {{Tsundere}}: After [[spoiler:you save her from Eater]], Nokia comments that she was ''very'' worried about you during your absence...to which she stammers and protests that it's not like ''that'' and she just wanted to thank you. |

| 214 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MiyukiSawashiro |
| 215 | |
| 216 | A character originally hailing from ''VideoGame/DigimonWorldReDigitize'' who's friends with Kyoko, manages the [=DigiLab=] where the protagonist can manage their Digimon, and occasionally provides assistance in their hacking endeavors. She carries a mysterious demeanor and is a firm believer in "fate", describing her own presence as being a product of that. |
| 217 | |
| 218 | Her partners are Angewomon and [=LadyDevimon=] -> Mastemon. |
| 219 | ---- |
| 220 | * AllThereInTheManual: A game-shaped manual in this case; her general nature is left unexplained in this game, and understanding it fully requires playing ''VideoGame/DigimonWorldReDigitize Decode'' (a game that, despite being in the same franchise, is technically part of a separate series) to the end. The website for this game gives a few details at the cost of [[LateArrivalSpoiler spoiling the other]]. |
| 221 | * CordonBleughChef: She's responsible for suggesting strange coffee recipes to Kyoko, although knowing her personality she could easily just be taking amusement from the results. |
| 222 | * DimensionalTraveler: She's not from this world and has connections to multiple others. Mastemon also has the ability to create dimensional portals, although since creating her requires items that she doesn't have at the start of the game, how much access she has to this ability is unknown. |
| 223 | * {{Expy}}: She's a mysterious and elusive manager of a hidden, extradimensional monster management room, much like [[{{VideoGame/Persona3}} Elizabeth]]; she even has the same voice actress with the same vocal pitch. |
| 224 | * FusionDance: The scene in which Angewomon and [=LadyDevimon=] DNA Digivolve into Mastemon is...[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sjhpPBUQps quite something]]. |
| 225 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: Her official profile on the game's Japanese website spoils the final plot twist in ''VideoGame/DigimonWorldReDigitize Decode'', in that [[spoiler:she lost her physical body in an accident]]. |
| 226 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Her chest might give it away, but according to [[VideoGame/DigimonWorldReDigitize her game of origin]], [[spoiler:she's actually an adult woman]]. |
| 227 | * OptionalBoss: Both as one of the enemies in the Offline Colosseum and [[spoiler:the final challenge in the Demon Lords DLC as she goes off the wall attempting to make the "ultimate Digimon" from the Seven Sins pieces]]. |
| 228 | * TheTease: She comes off as this, partially due to [[Creator/MiyukiSawashiro her voice actress]] playing up this aspect of her in her performance, partially due to her tendency to use language like "fate drew me to you". (She likes using this language on other people as well, as she refers to the protagonist similarly as Sayo's "fated person" in reference to them being the one to save her Dianamon.) |
| 229 | |
| 230 | !Rina Shinomiya |
| 231 | [[quoteright:223:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_rina10.jpg]] |
| 232 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HarukaTomatsu |
| 233 | |
| 234 | A girl who hails from ''[[VideoGame/DigimonWorldReDigitize Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode]]'' and its corresponding AlternateUniverse. Mirei sends the protagonist to meet her in order to recruit her Veevee as the Royal Knight [=UlforceVeedramon=]. An incredibly aggressive and tomboyish girl, she's described as annoying, oh so very annoying...and cute. |
| 235 | |
| 236 | Her partner is Veevee, a Veemon -> [=UlforceVeedramon=]. |
| 237 | ---- |
| 238 | * BigEater: She considers food to be one of the most important things in the world, and her introduction of the human world to Kentaurosmon ends up being endlessly dragging him to restaurants. |
| 239 | * BoisterousBruiser: She's incredibly fun-loving and her first reaction upon [[spoiler:entering the protagonist's world]] is deciding that she wants to tour around the town. [[spoiler:Her free-spirited nature is eventually what convinces Kentaurosmon to back down and give humanity a chance.]] |
| 240 | * CallingYourAttacks: She and Veevee like to call his finisher together...except she keeps getting it wrong, like saying "Spray of History" for "Ray of Victory"[[note]]"in Japanese, Oyster V-Sauce" for "Shining V-Force"[[/note]]. |
| 241 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Pretty much the basis of her entire character in-game, to the point where absolutely no one can keep up with her randomness. [[spoiler:Not even a Royal Knight.]] |
| 242 | * CombatPragmatist: She waits for an evil lord digimon to start his villainous gloating before drop kicking him in the face. |
| 243 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: In an action that would make [[Anime/DigimonDataSquad Masaru Daimon]] proud, she ''kicks'' the Demon Lord Barbamon in the face. |
| 244 | * DumbMuscle: She's incredibly physical and impulsive but also ''incredibly'' absent-minded, charging into situations regardless of consequence and shrugging off half the things she's told because she doesn't understand enough to care. |
| 245 | * GenkiGirl: So much that her "idle" animation isn't idle as much as her jumping around ready to start a physical brawl. |
| 246 | * GogglesDoNothing: Nothing that we see, but in series it's a good and reliable visual shorthand for "Digimon protagonist". |
| 247 | * LargeHam: Likes to overdramaticize everything she talks about (mostly to Veevee's exasperation). Culminates in her and Veevee giving each other a dramatic, tearful farewell as they promise to meet again (despite the fact that they're only going to be temporarily separated)...[[spoiler:only for her to follow you through the gate anyway]]. |
| 248 | * {{Flanderization}}: In her game of origin, she was a bit of a goofy Genki Girl but was otherwise reasonably sensible and took the situation seriously enough (even chastising another character for being reckless). Here though, the Genki Girl aspect of her character is turned up to 11 and the common sense she displayed in her home game is nowhere to be found. |
| 249 | * LikeBrotherAndSister: She and Veevee have this kind of relationship, with a hint of FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling, with Rina as foolish one and Veevee as the responsible one. |
| 250 | * MotorMouth: Rina's boundless energy means she can talk a mile a minute and does so most of the time. |
| 251 | * OptionalBoss: Near the end of the game, she and Veevee are the first bosses in a series of quests that unlock the ability for you to make your own versions of [=UlforceVeedramon=] and the other Royal Knights. |
| 252 | * OutOfBodyExperience: [[spoiler:Apparently being outside her own world leaves your physical body in your world of origin and makes you into a digital entity. Rina takes an alarmingly low amount of concern about this and in fact finds it cool to be "like a Digimon".]] |
| 253 | * VagueAge: In her game of origin, she was depicted as what would be the age of a middle school student at the oldest, but in this game she's depicted to be around the same age as the mid-to-late teenager cast. This could also be a stylistic difference; despite the fact both games were by the same artist, Mirei, who shouldn't look older [[spoiler:because she has no physical body]], also goes through the same treatment. |
| 254 | * WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: After her side quest towards the end of the game we never see her again. She doesn't join you for the final battle and she isn't mentioned in the epilogue. |
| 255 | |
| 256 | !Pete |
| 257 | |
| 258 | A Wanyamon discovered within Nakano Broadway in an early sidequest, who seems to be the manifestation of a "[[TimeCapsule time capsule]]" left in an old vacuum tube computer in Nakano Broadway. [[spoiler:Or, at least, it's only Kyoko's theory; he's actually the cat of a man named Yoshito Mizushima who used to work in the computer room, and was trapped there when the room was sealed off; the power of the Digital Wave within it caused him to merge with the computer and become a Digimon.]] He becomes a helpful assistant in a few sidequests. |
| 259 | ---- |
| 260 | * AmnesiacDissonance: Although there's no moral alignment associated with it, [[spoiler:the trauma and confusion of his conflicting identities of "Pete", named and given an identity by Kyoko, and "Miko", named and given an identity by a man named Yoshito Mizushima, is enough to almost give him a mental breakdown]]. |
| 261 | * DeadAllAlong: Possibly implied; Kyoko notes a number of strange things that don't line up with logic when [[spoiler:he and Yoshito reunite]]...but ultimately the protagonist chooses not to pursue it at Pete's request. |
| 262 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: Because he's a time capsule ([[spoiler:or, actually, because Yoshito told him]]), he's aware of and talks about quite a few (in-universe) pop culture references that nobody around him recognizes. |
| 263 | * IdentityAmnesia: He doesn't remember anything about himself or who he is, and he assists Kyoko because she takes an interest in discovering it. |
| 264 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:Once he remembers who he is, his final request to the player is to leave him and Yoshito alone- he does ''not'' wish to be found and would rather spend his remaining days with Yoshito as a normal cat: Miko. Thus, they are never again seen nor mentioned in the game.]] |
| 265 | --> '''Pete''': [[spoiler:Please, leave us be... Don't go looking for us.]] |
| 266 | * MissionControl: [[spoiler:Takes this role during Kyoko's absence in chapters 12-15.]] |
| 267 | * PeacefulInDeath: [[spoiler:Heavily implied at the end of "Ghost Cat Building": the final cutscene is of Yoshito and Miko leaving together. But what makes the implication stronger is that, rather than walking on the building, they seem to be walking ''on'' the screen instead- giving the illusion that either Yoshito or Miko, or perhaps both, will die soon- and happily together.]] [[spoiler:Kyoko's [[https://youtu.be/2n845pf0tbI?t=1388 monologue]] at the end of this quest can be taken as a kind of eulogy.]] |
| 268 | --> '''Kyoko''': Not all mysteries in this world need to be solved. |
| 269 | * TimeCapsule: He's the personification of a time capsule filled with data from a few decades past, stored in an unused computer system within Nakano Broadway. [[spoiler:Or at least, that's what Kyoko initially believes.]] |
| 270 | * UpliftedAnimal: [[spoiler:It's theorized that [=Pete/Miko=] was a cat that was caught in the wall with the vacuum tube computer that was affected by Digital Waves and became a Digimon]]. |

| 272 | !Goro Matayoshi |
| 273 | [[quoteright:209:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_matayoshi9.jpg]] |
| 274 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Masaru Ikeda |
| 275 | |
| 276 | A senior detective known in his department for being a bit of a {{Determinator}} with an obsession around discovering the truth, and a friend of Kyoko's late father who's known Kyoko since her childhood. He's rather inexperienced with modern technology, so he often drops by the detective agency for advice and considers it his "secret weapon". Due to his past experience with it, he provides valuable information in the Kamishiro Enterprises investigation. |
| 277 | ---- |
| 278 | * AffectionateNickname: He calls Kyoko "Kyo-chan" despite her being a grown woman, saying that because he's known her for so long, Kyo-chan will always be Kyo-chan to him. |
| 279 | * CoolOldGuy: Though stern, he gets along well with much of the cast. He's particularly interested in the protagonist and watching their development as an AmateurSleuth, since they're Kyoko's protegé. |
| 280 | * ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:Kyoko's father is his DeadPartner, and he wants to take down Kamishiro to avenge him]] |
| 281 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Although he's aware of the fact [[spoiler:the protagonist and their friends are trying to stop an oncoming world destruction plot]], since he doesn't have a full grasp on the situation, he ends up having to leave it to them while he tries to explain their actions to the higher-ups. |
| 282 | * ManlyTears: Telling the protagonist about [[spoiler:Kyoko's father's death]] leaves him hiding his tears, though Kyoko noticed when he left. |
| 283 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Although "reasonable" might be a little stretched since he technically assists the main cast in their questionably legal hacking actions. [[spoiler:He does, however, try his best to protect Arata when the police department attempts to scapegoat Arata and the other hackers for the incidents around Tokyo.]] |
| 284 | |
| 285 | !Makiko Date |
| 286 | [[quoteright:201:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/date_makiko_cshm_1.jpg]] |
| 287 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasumiAsano |
| 288 | |
| 289 | A detective who works under Matayoshi, who seems to know a thing or two about Arata's past as a hacker. Although her aggressive and abrasive attitude causes her to initially have a bad opinion of the protagonist and the detective agency, she eventually forms a good relationship with them. |
| 290 | ---- |
| 291 | * CutenessProximity: |
| 292 | ** Towards [[spoiler:a lost Lopmon looking for their friend Tokomon]] she comes across and brings to the protagonist as a client. |
| 293 | ** ''Hacker's Memory'' has her at one point subjecting Keisuke, who was at the time disguised as a Poyomon, to a MarshmallowHell until she's reminded that she should be working and give Yu back his "Digimon". |
| 294 | * DefrostingTheIceQueen: She starts off considering Kyoko's agency - and the protagonist by extension - suspicious, and even until late in the game has a habit of threatening to arrest them, but builds a far better relationship with them afterwards (while still threatening to arrest them). |
| 295 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Played for laughs. Every time you meet her she'll threaten to arrest you for some reason or other, like being depressed when [[spoiler:Kyoko goes missing]] later in the game. |
| 296 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Threatening to arrest people for making a scene around Aiba after having their damaged digital avatar shunted into the real world by an Eater, then threatening to arrest someone for calling her an "officer" when she's actually a detective, ''[[RefugeInAudacity Then threatening to arrest the player character for "being gross".]]''[[labelnote:*]]Granted, Aiba at the time was a [[HumanoidAbomination mass of translucent blue data in a vaguely humanoid form]] sitting in the middle of the street, which one could easily find disturbing, but still.[[/labelnote]] |
| 297 | * {{Foil}}: To Kyoko. Though they share a vocation, the two female detectives couldn't be any more different from their appearances to their general attitudes. |
| 298 | * HairRaisingHare: A Lopmon that she ends up assisting eventually becomes an Antylamon that serves as her partner in ''Hacker's Memory''. |
| 299 | * HasAType: When taken along on cases in ''Hacker's Memory'' this topic may come up, and as it turns out it's "strong, dependable, and always remembers what others have done for them" or, [[EveryoneCanSeeIt as others occasionally point out]], Ryuji. |
| 300 | * JapaneseDelinquents: She ''talks'' like one, despite being a law-enforcing detective. |
| 301 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's aggressive and quick to say rude things, but she does have everyone's best interests at heart, and particularly idolizes Matayoshi. She also at one point [[{{Tsundere}} grudgingly admits]] that a Lopmon is "cute". She's also capable of holding quite civil and occasionally even cheerful conversation with the protagonist over [=DigiLine=] (although most of them happen to involve Matayoshi, who's her effective soft spot). |
| 302 | * LiquidCourage: According to Matayoshi in ''Hacker's Memory'', she's even more difficult to stop when drunk. |
| 303 | * {{Tsundere}}: She's either nice or aggressive, with essentially no middle point. |
| 304 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Matayoshi; she's constantly concerned about his welfare, and at one point she suggests she'll have to be the one to take care of him if he quits the police force. |
| 305 | * WackyMarriageProposal: Toward the end of ''Hacker's Memory'' she demands that Ryuji return safely so she can arrest him for life. Chitose is quick to point out that that sounded like the weirdest proposal ever. |
| 306 | * YouRemindMeOfX: Matayoshi is particularly fond of her as his junior, since she reminds him of himself when he was a younger detective and believes she'll grow into a great one. |
| 307 | |
| 308 | !Ryouta Takei and Sakura Fujisaki |
| 309 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiroshiOkamoto (Ryota) and Umeka Shouji (Sakura) |
| 310 | |
| 311 | Two of the protagonist's classmates. Ryota has a less-than-subtle crush on Sakura, whose love for the singer Jimmy KEN's music has lately caused her to become worringly absent-minded. |
| 312 | ---- |
| 313 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Sakura comes off this way, although Ryouta notes that she's been like this ever since she became obsessed with Jimmy KEN, and indeed her [=DigiLine=] messages are far more coherent than her speech. |
| 314 | * DeclarationOfProtection: Kyoko forces one from Ryouta when questioning him how he likes Sakura in what way. |
| 315 | * MatchMakerQuest: After [[spoiler:Sakura is saved from the Jimiken hypnosis incident and lands in the hospital]], the protagonist ends up helping Ryota pick out a present for Sakura that, with progressively [[EveryoneCanSeeIt decreasing levels of subtlety]], is eventually revealed to be something he hopes to ask her out with. In addition, you can try egging on their relationship through [=DigiLine=] responses. [[spoiler:A late-game [=DigiLine=] message reveals that they've started dating, although it's not mentioned whether this applies after the ending's CosmicRetcon. ''Hacker's Memory'' throws in further confusion by revealing that Sakura later dumped Ryota before the timeline got reset.]] |
| 316 | * ThoseTwoGuys: They ultimately are for comedic and light-hearted value; the most they factor into the plot is [[spoiler:Sakura becoming one of the Jimiken hypnosis victims]], and afterwards their tale is told only in a sidequest. |
| 317 | |
| 318 | !The Inoden Occult Research Club |
| 319 | |
| 320 | A high school occult club that requests Kyoko's help in investigating an urban legend, and occasionally factors into a few sidequests. They're led by Mei, who has a boundless sense of enthusiasm for the occult. Four members (Mei, Kenji, Manaka, and Lily) are seen throughout the course of the story. |
| 321 | ---- |
| 322 | * BeneathTheMask: One case with Manaka involves her [=DigiLine=] account being hacked and sending messages that she didn't write. What's unusual about it is that the messages do, in fact, reflect her actual feelings - her ''true'' feelings, as in the kind that wouldn't be socially acceptable to let public. |
| 323 | * GuestStarPartyMember: In ''Hacker's Memory'', [[spoiler:after Digimon invade Tokyo, Lily's unseen familiar becomes a Kyubimon that aids the player and later Digivolves into Taomon in her side quest.]] |
| 324 | * TheEeyore: Not as drastic, but Lily is usually the one who thinks the club is into silly urban legends that aren't true and wish they could do something else instead. [[spoiler:Then comes TheReveal that she's an actual professional exorcist and tries to steer her friends away from danger.]] |
| 325 | * MaidCafe: Lily runs a part-time job in one, and thus is always seen in a maid outfit. |
| 326 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: |
| 327 | ** Although the other cases turn out to have mundane (or at least mundane by in-universe logic) explanations, the case of Shibuya Hirasaka most notably does ''not'', and it's left ambiguous whether the girl involved is an actual dead, vengeful spirit. Kyoko drops it under the justification that her jurisdiction lies in cyber crimes, and not in the occult. |
| 328 | ** The Shibuya Hirasaka case is expanded on in ''Hacker's Memory'', as well as the group as a whole. [[spoiler:Lily is in fact an exorcist, and whenever she's trying to derail the group's investigations it's because they're legitimately dangerous. The Shibuya Hirasaka case ended with the group accidentally linking the worlds of the living and the dead, and after the brief connection to the Digital World the girl's vengeful spirit fused with a [[{{Cthulhumanoid}} Dragomon]], not entirely unlike the cat that became Pete, and sought to use its power to take advantage of the linked worlds to [[ZombieApocalypse flood Shibuya with undead]]. After stopping this and exorcising the spirit, the group pushes Lily into training them all to be exorcists in order to help lighten her work load, and to be able to defend themselves if their meddling ever steps into the legitimately supernatural once more.]] |
| 329 | * ShipperOnDeck: Lily, for Manaka and Kenji. |
| 330 | * {{Workaholic}}: Lily has barely enough time to work at a MaidCafe and juggle her apparent hobby as part of the research club. [[spoiler:On top of this, she's a superb exorcist.]] |
| 331 | |
| 332 | !Reiko Tawa |
| 333 | [[quoteright:222:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_reiko1.jpg]] |
| 334 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyanaTaketatsu |
| 335 | |
| 336 | A worker at the Shibuya Records store, who sends the protagonist a request to deal with a mysterious CD appearing around the store. She eventually bonds with the culprit, an Etemon whom she happens to like the eccentric music of. |
| 337 | ---- |
| 338 | * BirdsOfAFeather: Her awful singing may explain why she was appreciative of Etemon's early music for its... "unique" sound. |
| 339 | * CrossOver: On a meta-level, she's the Tower Records Japan mascot in real life. |
| 340 | * DreadfulMusician: Her singing is enough to make everyone in the area cringe. |
| 341 | * MeaningfulName: "Tawa Reiko" = "Tower Records". |
| 342 | * ProductPlacement: She's basically a walking advertisement for Tower Records in the game; she even promotes it in her lines. The localization ends up turning it into a LawyerFriendlyCameo by making it "Shibuya Records". (The only other reason she's in the game is a reference to the fact she's designed by Suzuhito Yasuda, the character designer for this game.) |
| 343 | |
| 344 | !Sayo |
| 345 | [[quoteright:155:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_sayo7.jpg]] |
| 346 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiMaeda |
| 347 | |
| 348 | A girl who appears only in the Demon Lords DLC and originates from the ''VideoGame/DigimonWorldDawnDusk'' pair of games; she identifies herself as a "Tamer" from Darkmoon City, in an AlternateUniverse. Mirei introduces the protagonist to her in order to help her recover her partner Dianamon, which can only be done through the defeat of the Seven Great Demon Lords. |
| 349 | ---- |
| 350 | * ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:She returns to her own world after the protagonist rescues her Dianamon, though she promises that they'll meet again.]] |
| 351 | * CuttingOffTheBranches: She's referred to officially as the protagonist of ''[[VideoGame/DigimonWorldDawnDusk Digimon World Dusk]]'', meaning that its selectable male player character is non-canon. |
| 352 | * DownloadableContent: Her missions. She serves no purpose to the main story and after she appears she will stay in the Digi Lab until you complete all of her cases. None of the other main characters except Mirei and the player interact with her in any other way. |
| 353 | * GameplayAndStorySegregation: The game states that Sayo defeated all Seven Great Demon Lords previously with her Dianamon, prompting the events of her quest. Dianamon, however, is a Data type Digimon with low defenses. In standard play, if it were to go up against any of the 7, it would most likely lose if not struggle greatly due to the disadvantage. Additionally, none of Sayo's other Digimon that she regularly used alongside Dianamon in ''Digimon World Dawn'' are mentioned or present.[[labelnote:*]]Her other two Digimon being a [=MachGaogamon=] that Digivolves into [=MirageGaogamon=] and is capable of entering Burst Mode, and a Lilamon that Digivolves into Lotosmon.[[/labelnote]] |
| 354 | * GogglesDoNothing: Other than signify, like most other Digimon media, that she is/was a protagonist in some way or form. In this case the protagonist of "VideoGame/DigimonWorldDawnDusk". |
| 355 | * GuestStarPartyMember: After you help her get Dianamon back, she assists you in fighting [[spoiler:Mirei]]. |
| 356 | * IWorkAlone: She initially refuses the protagonist's help on account of her "pride as a Tamer", but Mirei reminds her that there's literally nothing she ''can'' do; she can't fight the Demon Lords without Dianamon, but she can't get Dianamon back without fighting the Demon Lords. After grudgingly accepting help, she eventually warms up to the protagonist as they display their strength. |
| 357 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her defeat of the Seven Great Demon Lords caused their power to disperse to other {{Alternate Universe}}s, and the resulting "sin" caused her Dianamon to disappear. Thus, the only way to get Dianamon back is for the protagonist to defeat the Demon Lords in their own world. [[spoiler:Of course, this leads right to the protagonist committing the same "sin", but thanks to Mirei's meddling, they end up not having to lose their own partners.]] |
| 358 | * PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: She was the lead of the previous Digimon Story game. |
| 359 | * {{Tsundere}}: Although her initial reaction to the protagonist is legitimate disapproval of them having to rescue her, before she warms up to them completely her reactions to them taking out Demon Lords one by one are all along the lines of "...not bad". |

| 373 | |
| 374 | The main antagonist of both ''Cyber Sleuth'' games, Eater is less of an "antagonist" and more of a malevolent entity that has no real will and corrodes all data it touches. Its physical contact with the protagonist causes them to become a half-digitized entity, it mutates real-world areas into "Digital Shifts", and eats the "mental data" of any human it comes into contact with, throwing them into EDEN Syndrome. It also has the ability to use the data it "eats" to "evolve", taking on new forms accordingly. |
| 375 | ---- |
| 376 | * AchillesHeel: In the earlier chapters, Purebreed Eaters have notoriously low HP. Thus, they're very easy to OHKO with fixed damage attacks such as Gatomon's Lightning Paw or Devimon's Death Claw, turning a potentially difficult encounter into a joke. |
| 377 | * TheAssimilator: It doesn't directly copy the abilities or attacks of what it absorbs, but it takes on forms similar to it and becomes more powerful. |
| 378 | * BattleThemeMusic: The rank and file Eaters are always accompanied by the utterly unsettling "[[https://youtu.be/toO4JoK-S5k Something Eroding]]" theme when fought. |
| 379 | * BigBad: Partially so; because it has no intelligent will, most of its actions are chaotic/random or being controlled by someone else, but it's the effective cause of everything that happens in the game. |
| 380 | * DigitalAbomination: The Eaters are mysterious entities from the Digital World driven only to consume data. They all have a glitched-looking UnmovingPlaid texture. The weakest ones resemble molluscs, while stronger ones resemble humans and the strongest ones can only be described as looking alien. In ''Hacker's Memory'', [[spoiler:they manage to absorb the core of the cyberspace Eden, turning the whole cyberspace into an EldritchLocation with paths resembling an M. C. Escher painting and with everything having the same UnmovingPlaid texture]]. |
| 381 | * EldritchAbomination: Its Purebreed form resembles some kind of otherworldly squid, and its other forms are rife with moving parts that ''shouldn't be moving in that way''. |
| 382 | * {{Expy}}: Of the D-Reaper from ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', as it's a non-human, non-Digimon EldritchAbomination that has a corrosive nature [[spoiler:that is eventually defeated by reverting it to a more harmless form]]. Unlike the D-Reaper, however, it has no real will. |
| 383 | * ForcedTransformation: [[spoiler:Their real (and presumably far more harmless) form is a glowing ball of light. It seems that contact with the human world is what twisted them so much.]] |
| 384 | * HiveMind: [[spoiler:All the Eaters are connected via one network tied to the core, which Yuugo exploits to communicate and is ultimately using to keep it from rampaging even further.]] |
| 385 | * HorrorHunger: All they want to do is consume data, preferably humans. |
| 386 | * HumanoidAbomination: Humanoid Eaters have consumed enough human data to understand what they are to attempt imitation, but don't quite grasp what humans actually ''look like'', resulting in shambling humanoid facsimiles barely held together by their core that would only be mistaken for people from a distance. |
| 387 | * LightIsNotGood: They are actually [[spoiler:transmitter waves coming from a higher plane of existence, and their true uncontaminated form resemble orbs of light.]] Many of their more advanced attacks are also light-related, such as laser beams or energy balls. In particular, the Eater EDEN's strongest attack that it unleashes after a countdown is literally named "[[UsefulNotes/{{Kabbalah}} Ain Soph Aur]]". |
| 388 | * LoadBearingBoss: If an Eater is causing a Digital Shift, defeating it causes the area to go back to normal. [[spoiler:It also works temporally; if you completely destroy Eater via its core, it will become as if Eater never existed.]] |
| 389 | * MoreThanThreeDimensions: [[spoiler:Suedou and Alphamon eventually speculate that it may have come from a "higher dimension", although its true nature remains unknown.]] |
| 390 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: The developers deliberately hired Creator/OhGreat who had never worked on ''Digimon'' before to create a new kind of monster that would be offputting for fans of ''Digimon'', with the basic starting concept being a monster that "destroys Digimon from within and ravages them". |
| 391 | * PoweredByAForsakenChild: |
| 392 | ** [[spoiler:Both "powered" and "limited"; Yuugo Kamishiro is its current active core; his presence is inducing it to eat humans, and it's implied that his negative feelings of isolation and abandonment are contributing to Eater's rampage. At the same time, he's also acting as a limiter on it through its HiveMind. Without his presence as a "conscience", it would be liable to eating everything without restraint.]] |
| 393 | ** ''Hacker's Memory'' shows what would happen without [[spoiler:Yuugo acting as a limiter. Erika ends up creating her own Eater Bits to serve her, but once her illness incapacitates her they immediately turn on her, use her connection to EDEN, and within hours EDEN is replaced entirely by "Eater EDEN".]] |
| 394 | * StatusEffects: They enjoy using paralysis in the earlier levels and dotting in the later ones. |
| 395 | * UnmovingPlaid: Each form past the initial squid-like one has parts that are textured this way, to emphasize how otherworldly and ''wrong'' they look. |
| 396 | * WeakToMagic: The Purebreed Eaters fall under this. Where they excel in physical defense, their INT stat falls very short. Thus, strong INT attacks are advised. The inverse holds true for their Humanoid Forms, which are highly resistant to INT attacks but weak to physical attacks. |
| 397 | |
| 398 | !Rie Kishibe |
| 399 | [[quoteright:206:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_rie14.jpg]] |
| 400 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaHisakawa |
| 401 | |
| 402 | A high-ranking member (and later CEO) of Kamishiro Enterprises, a flirtatious and unsettling woman whose motives are impossible to decipher. Yuuko knows her well, but is wary of her, and she stands as an obstacle to the protagonist and Kyoko's attempts to investigate her company. |
| 403 | ---- |
| 404 | * AmbitionIsEvil: She's described as having quite a bit of greed and ambition prior to her ascendancy to the position of president, [[spoiler:to the point of having plotted to ruin Satoru Kamishiro's name and take his position]]. |
| 405 | * AssholeVictim: She was one of the victims of [[spoiler:an Eater attack ordered by Suedou like Kuremi (and that Suedou specifically ordered the Eaters against her), but since she's already planning to blackmail Kamishiro way before this and Kuremi was in EDEN trying to investigate her when the attack happened, she mostly deserved it.]] |
| 406 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Plays herself up as being like a caring foster older sister to Yuuko (who isn't buying it, especially after she [[spoiler:threatens to "accidentally" do something to her comatose brother). Even with Crusadermon's presence this is indicated to be her actual personality to some extent, given how despite their open hatred of humanity Crusadermon still says Kamishiro's murder was more Rie's will than their own.]] |
| 407 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Even before [[spoiler:Crusadermon took over her, she's been trying to blackmail Kamishiro with fabricated scandals so she can become the CEO of his enterprise.]] When [[spoiler:Kyoko was hired by Kamishiro to investigate the underground activities within his own company, she lures her into EDEN and Suedo takes the oppurtunity to deploy several eaters to prevent Kishibe from upsurping Kamishiro.]] |
| 408 | * CrapsaccharineWorld: The secret room made in her image is filled with overly saccharine decor not quite unlike that of [[Franchise/HarryPotter Dolores Umbridge]]. |
| 409 | * EvilCounterpart: To Kyoko Kuremi, [[spoiler:both being Royal Knights in human hosts and she is what Alphamon could have become if it took her body instead of Kuremi's.]] |
| 410 | * TheFakeCutie: She has very cutesy and saccharine mannerisms, but no one is really fooled by it. |
| 411 | * FemmeFatale: She's incredibly seductive to the men she meets, though the "childlike" nature she takes with it gives it a definitively creepy edge. [[spoiler:Especially since it's revealed that, as Crusadermon, she actually detests all of humanity.]] |
| 412 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: [[spoiler:Crusadermon isn't very happy with becoming an accursed human as part of the plan to KillAllHumans.]] |
| 413 | * KarmaHoudini: This doesn't apply to [[spoiler:Crusadermon]], but [[spoiler:the original version of her is still described as having attempted to hijack Satoru Kamishiro's position as president and harboring murderous intent towards him, yet in the "new Tokyo" provided by the CosmicRetcon she retains her high-ranking position and seems to be seducing the president, to the point where she might end up becoming Yuuko's stepmother]]! |
| 414 | * MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:"''Kishi''" means "knight", and of course, her true identity is...]] |
| 415 | * TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: [[spoiler:Rie's "ambition" was apparently what influenced Crusadermon to murder Satoru Kamishiro, despite the fact that her mind was not currently in her body. Her other negative and abhorrent emotions didn't give Crusadermon a much better opinion of humanity, either.]] |
| 416 | * ObviouslyEvil: Her unsettling disposition makes it very clear from the moment she appears that she's not going to be on the side of the good guys. |
| 417 | * PsychopathicManchild: Part of the reason her demeanor is so unsettling is that she's channeling a ton of childlike Moe tropes despite being a grown woman. |
| 418 | * ReallyGetsAround: She claims that she had dozens of boyfriends at Yuuko's age and suggests she do the same. Her often seductive talk only reinforces the notion. |
| 419 | * SayItWithHearts: Used for intentionally nauseating effect in the Japanese version. |
| 420 | * SpitefulSuicide: [[spoiler:Being so close to opening the Digital Gate and linking Earth to the Digital World, Crusadermon doesn't care much for maintaining her human guise or Kamishiro and deliberately flings Kishibe off the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in ''Hacker's Memory'' to spite Matayoshi and Hudie and throw them off her trail.]] |

| 423 | [[quoteright:295:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_suedou1.jpg]] |
| 424 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Hiroshi Yanaka |
| 425 | |
| 426 | A mysterious scientist who works for Kamishiro Enterprises and happens to be investigating the Eaters, providing useful information about his findings to the protagonists. His real motives are vague, however, and seem to extend beyond simple interest. |
| 427 | ---- |
| 428 | * AmnesiacResonance / AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Word Of God states that he once had a lover who passed away and tried to erase his own memory of them only to have lingering feelings of sadness and no idea where they came from, driving him to hatch his plan to erase sadness from the world.]] For obvious reasons, he never brings this up in the game proper. |
| 429 | * AntiVillain: His motives are not necessarily evil, only misguided at worst. His methods however leave much to be desired. |
| 430 | * AssimilationPlot: His wish is to make the real and digital worlds "perfect", and ends up aiding a plan to [[spoiler:rip a dimensional portal open and start mingling them]]. [[spoiler:His ultimate goal is to make the world "evolve" through Mother Eater's power, creating a world where "no one will feel sadness anymore".]] |
| 431 | * BigBad: [[spoiler:Ultimately becomes this having hijacked the Eaters to his own end by the game's finale and the form Mother Eater takes when he hijacks it is the final boss for the game. Drasil and the Royal Knights have been completely taken out of the picture, thanks to both the Eaters and the protagonists, leaving no one to oppose Suedou on the antagonistic side.]] |
| 432 | * FaceOfAThug: His appearance is on par with some of the [[spoiler:more monstrous human antagonists of ''Digimon'', but he's actually one of the more noble ones out there.]] |
| 433 | * FriendlyEnemy: Despite his creepy looks, he is a pretty amicable fellow and helps the heroes out on multiple occasions. |
| 434 | * GenderBlenderName: Akemi is generally a female name in Japan. |
| 435 | * GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: [[spoiler:Part of his end goal is to basically make sadness impossible as a concept, a world where everyone can be unconditionally happy]]. |
| 436 | * GodhoodSeeker: [[spoiler:His final plan is to hijack Mother Eater and use its power to remake the world. Interestingly, he doesn't want power for the sake of it - he just wants to be the one to do it in accordance with his own vision.]] |
| 437 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: It's hard to say exactly ''what'' side he's on; he offers his assistance to the protagonists on multiple occasions, providing them necessary information they need and even bailing them out once or twice, but also [[spoiler:happens to be assisting Crusadermon's plan to wreak dimensional havoc]]. The protagonists are aware that he's working for his own ends, and regard him with a shade of distrust even when he's helping them out. [[spoiler:Ultimately, he ends up on the heel end as his motives become too selfish for the others to allow.]] |
| 438 | * HeelRealization: [[spoiler:That being said, when Ami/Takemi risks their ''very existence'' to enter the Mother Eater and try to rescue him because [[AllLovingHero they didn't want anyone, Suedou included, to disappear]], even after having just stopped his master plan, he comes to realize his folly of trying to recreate a world without sadness (at least, in his own...weird way) and decides it is better to let the universe unfold on its own, and writes himself out of history.]] |
| 439 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:His reinitialization of King Drasil erases his existence in the "new Tokyo" so that he was never born.]] |
| 440 | * MadScientist: He gives off this vibe from his very first appearance, looking quite visually unhinged. |
| 441 | * MeaningfulName: His name sounds similar to "pseudo", indicating he's not what he seems. Perhaps more relevant to the game's cyberspace theme, however, is that it could also be a reference to the UNIX "sudo" (super-user do) override command. |
| 442 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Merges with the Mother Eater and King Drasil/Yggdrasil so he can remake the world as he sees fit, becoming the FinalBoss.]] |
| 443 | * OpportunisticBastard: He's not on the good guys' or bad guys' side; he'll help whatever side is convenient for him at the moment. |
| 444 | * NobleDemon: [[spoiler:His plan to save Satoru Kamishiro, whom he apparently respected deeply, involved using an Eater to absorb the mental data of the potential perpetrator and an innocent bystander. It didn't even pan out anyway because [[NiceJobBreakingItHero it led to Crusadermon possessing Rie's body and murdering him anyway]] - but he didn't seem to mind that as long as Crusadermon's plan was beneficial to his own ends.]] |
| 445 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler:He wiped the memories of the survivors of the EDEN beta in order to spare their sanity of seeing an Eater attack.]] |
| 446 | * RetGone: [[spoiler:Reinitializes King Drasil from within Eater, causing everything to converge and making it so that he was never even born in the universe of the CosmicRetcon.]] |
| 447 | * ScrewDestiny: [[spoiler:The protagonist's actions convince him not to resign himself to the world being fated to end in sadness and accept the infinite possibilities in the world, leading to his HeroicSacrifice.]] |
| 448 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Even though he acts as the BigBad of the game, the worst thing he tries to do is evolve the human race to the point where there's no sadness, and he's genuinely baffled that the heroes would prefer the current, flawed world to the one he's proposing.]] |
| 449 | * WildCard: One second he'll be helping you, the next, he's helping your enemies. Really he'll do whatever he finds of value regardless of what others may think or what may be considered ethical. |

| 451 | !Yuugo |
| 452 | [[quoteright:219:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_yuugo24.jpg]] |
| 453 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyumuMurase |
| 454 | |
| 455 | The leader of the hacker team Zaxon, and the first person the protagonist meets in EDEN. Despite leading a group of malicious hackers, he himself is cordial, teaching the protagonist how to use their Digimon Capture and occasionally restraining the hackers from becoming too much of a nuisance. However, he has his own personal goals and refuses to let anyone get in his way. For some reason, he bears an uncanny resemblance to the "white boy ghost" making appearances around EDEN, but he himself claims to merely be an elusive human. |
| 456 | |
| 457 | His partner is Machinedramon. |
| 458 | ---- |
| 459 | * AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoiler:{{Subverted|Trope}}. Rie gave the "Yuugo" account to Yuuko specifically so it could gather the hackers in EDEN into a trap, with Yuuko none the wiser. So when she goes to erase the account, it reveals it's sapient and proceeds to fight her.]] |
| 460 | * ActuallyADoombot: The "Yuugo" leading Saxon [[spoiler:is actually an account remotely controlled by his sister Yuuko, before eventually revealing itself as an ArtificialIntelligence serving Rie. The actual Yuugo is acting as a PowerLimiter for the Mother Eater, and appears as the Specter of the White Boy.]] |
| 461 | * {{Angst}}: After hearing about his actions in regards to Nokia and the Rebels, Kyoko concludes that despite his good intentions, he's really just going through a ton of teenage angst. |
| 462 | * AntiVillain: Despite the fact he's the leader of one of the most prominent hacker groups in EDEN, the members of which wreak havoc on its users, he himself doesn't take part in that kind of activity, assists and saves the protagonists at multiple points in the narrative, and even professes disappointment at the current state of EDEN. His stated goal is to unite the hackers and protect EDEN out of love for it; it's just that he doesn't treat anyone who gets in his way kindly. [[spoiler:He's also out to investigate Rie and Kamishiro Enterprises, and wants to mobilize the hackers of Under Zero to break in so he can find the truth.]] |
| 463 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Despite how openly he makes membership to Zaxon available he still felt the need to personally throw Jimiken out of the group for single-handedly breeding a large criminal subculture in the group. |
| 464 | * GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: [[spoiler:Later in the game, "Yuugo" develops beyond his original programming to become an independent entity thanks to the data he gathered from Yuuko memories of both the original and her time imitating him]]. |
| 465 | * {{Leitmotif}}: "We Bring Glory to ZAXON" |
| 466 | * RebelLeader: He claims to work for the "freedom" of hackers in EDEN so that they can do what they please, and eventually mobilizes them to assist him in a large-scale attack on Under Zero. |
| 467 | * SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler:The "Yuugo" leading Zaxon is actually an account controlled by Yuuko.]] |
| 468 | |
| 469 | !Fei Wong Tomoe Ignacio |
| 470 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_fei13.jpg]] |
| 471 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Seira Liu |
| 472 | |
| 473 | Yuugo's right-hand woman, of half-Japanese, quarter-Chinese, and quarter-Brazilian lineage with a Kyoto dialect. She has a calm but sadistic edge to her, a particularly hostile relationship with Nokia, and a very devoted sense of loyalty to Yuugo. |
| 474 | |
| 475 | Her partner is [=TigerVespamon=]. |
| 476 | ---- |
| 477 | * AccentAdaptation: She appears to have been given a kind of Southern Accent in the English version of the game. |
| 478 | * AmbiguouslyBi: Throughout the game she's presented as extremely devoted to [[spoiler:Yuugo/Yuuko, to the point where she's shedding tears of joy after she's saved from Eater Eve. Nokia lampshades this, teasing Fei about whether or not she wants more than just friendship.]] A journal entry in ''Hacker's Memory'' is summarized as her attempts to impress a lover ([[spoiler:implied to be Yuuko]]), with said lover's pronouns being female, which seems to confirm that she's attracted to girls. It could possibly be described as SingleTargetSexuality in [[spoiler:Yuugo/Yuuko's case]], considering that [[spoiler:she has no mental issue whatsoever swapping between referring to Yuuko in her "Yuugo" and normal female personas, and uses the same loving words for both]]. She also lightly flirts with Aiba at one point regardless of gender. |
| 479 | * AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Not only her third last name, Ignacio, [[TwoFirstNames is not a surname]], but it's not even Portuguese. The correct spelling of that name in said language is Inácio. |
| 480 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:Yuuko/"Yuugo" was the one who gave her [=TigerVespamon=], giving both of them a "place to be" (with each other).]] |
| 481 | * BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:Getting [[CurbstompBattle absolutely bulldozed]] by Nokia and Omnimon then having Yuuko kidnapped breaks her ego and causes her to become more genuinely helpful.]] |
| 482 | * ButNotTooForeign: Her parents were apparently Japanese and Chinese-Brazilian, according to her official profile (it's never brought up in the game beyond her name). Her name is accordingly a mix: Fei Wong (Chinese) Tomoe (Japanese) Ignacio (Brazilian). |
| 483 | * ColorMotif: She is associated with the color yellow. Not only does she sport it on her outfit, but all three of her party Digimon (including her signature) are primarily yellow in color. |
| 484 | * ItsAllMyFault: She blames herself for [[spoiler:the destruction of Hudie NetCafe (and Arcadiamon’s evolution to Ultimate, by proxy)]] because she [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge completely lost it]] against [[spoiler:Ryuji]]. She’s not wrong. |
| 485 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:In ''Hacker's Memory'', just when it looks like Erika is able to reach out to the brainwashed Ryuji, Fei decides to pick a fight with the latter after he threatens Yuuko which subsequently results in Arcadiamon evolving to its Ultimate form and destroying the Hudie shop building, nearly taking both Erika and Fei out in the process.]] |
| 486 | * NumberTwo: Is this to Yuugo in Zaxon, being his primary companion and enforcer [[spoiler:and as well as being the only one to know of his true identity as Yuuko.]] |
| 487 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: She notes that she and Nokia are quite similar in certain ways...before declaring that she hates her own kind and attacking her anyway. |
| 488 | * TheRival: To Nokia. [[spoiler:[[DefeatMeansFriendship It becomes more of a friendship]] after Nokia finally [[CurbstompBattle curbstombs her in battle.]]]] |
| 489 | * SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:She was aware of "Yuugo"'s true identity as Yuuko, and the fact that the avatar was based after the real Yuugo Kamishiro.]] |
| 490 | * TwoFirstNames: Her third last name, Ignacio, is actually a first name. |
| 491 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Yuugo, to almost obsessive levels; Nokia assumes that she must be in love with him. |
| 492 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:We never find out what happened to her relationship with Yuuko after the CosmicRetcon, and if it's been affected in any way.]] |
| 493 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: She considers her Digimon to be programs and is alarmed when they begin "acting against orders". [[spoiler:However, she does seem to find value in being with [=TigerVespamon=] even when seeing her only as a program.]] |
| 494 | |
| 495 | !Jimiken (''Jimmy KEN'') |
| 496 | [[quoteright:124:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_jimmy4.jpg]] |
| 497 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Cota Nemoto |
| 498 | |
| 499 | A famous rock star in the real world who also happens to be a particularly arrogant and malicious hacker. Although he starts off a member of Zaxon, he forms his own group called Demons after being kicked out by Yuugo for his criminal actions. |
| 500 | |
| 501 | Though he doesn't have a core partner, he maintains a team of Devimon; Meramon -> [=SkullMeramon=]; [=BlueMeramon=] -> Boltmon. |
| 502 | ---- |
| 503 | * BerserkButton: Calling him out on being an obvious [[{{Expy}} ripoff of KISS]] is one, even when Nokia fumbles on the [[WritingAroundTrademarks name of it]]. |
| 504 | * CatchPhrase: "You pickin' up what I'm puttin' down?" (In Japanese, it's "Is it coming across? This feeling.") |
| 505 | * ClarkKenting: [[spoiler:Early into the game, in one of the first visits to Shibuya Records, you can talk to a businessman called Tanaka that, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial out of the blue, denies being Jimiken]]. Since "Tanaka" is later confirmed to be part of his real name, there's the implication that Tanaka is Jimiken in disguise (an implication that is outright confirmed in ''Hacker's Memory'')]] |
| 506 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: Or at least, in his opinion, because he keels with embarrassment when Reiko accidentally reveals his real name: [[spoiler:Tanaka, a stereotypical "generic name" in Japan]]. |
| 507 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He always acts like he's in a good mood, laughing all the while no matter what he's doing. This attitude usually drops when he loses of course. [[spoiler:However, he undergoes some CharacterDevelopment after his MassHypnosis plans are thwarted; his attitude and irreverence towards the player doesn't change, but he becomes much more legitimate, and even invites Reiko Tawa to go on tour with him.]] |
| 508 | * GratuitousEnglish: In the Japanese version, he peppers his speech with tons of badly-conjugated and nonsensical English (the above CatchPhrase has the word "feeling" in English). |
| 509 | * MassHypnosis: [[spoiler:With Rie's assistance, he uses subliminal messaging in one of his videos to hypnotize a bunch of fans into running away from home and coming to his concert.]] |
| 510 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 511 | ** Fittingly for a rock star, Jimiken has a very similar spelling to Jimihen, which is how Music/JimiHendrix was known in Japan. |
| 512 | ** His real name, [[spoiler:Masao Tanaka, much like his appearance when not donning his rock-star attire]], is incredibly generic. |
| 513 | * NeverMyFault: He blames his continuous battle losses on his Digimon not being good enough. Nokia calls him out on it. |
| 514 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Don't get him wrong, he's still a jerk to '''you''', but after his scheme is thwarted he apparently softens up a bit to the point that he even ''invites'' Reiko to tour with him rather than kidnapping her as the player thought, and it is implied he is much nicer to her and even shared with her his real name: "Tanaka".]] |
| 515 | * PuppetKing: Although he's always an UnwittingPawn, Hacker's Memory reveals that [[spoiler: K is the true leader of the Demons, or at least claims to be so.]] |
| 516 | * StartMyOwn: After he's exiled from Zaxon, he and a few of their other bad apples form their own hacker group the "Demons". |
| 517 | * VerbalTic: He usually has a "lol" thrown into his words to play off his seemingly jovial nature. |
| 518 | * WakeUpCallBoss: Especially on Hard Mode; he's the first major boss the game throws at you that isn't defeatable within a few minutes and is capable of decimating your party. |
| 519 | |
| 520 | !The Specter of the White Boy |
| 521 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyumuMurase |
| 522 | |
| 523 | A mysterious, phantom-like boy occasionally sighted around EDEN, who, according to Suedou, is the "physical manifestation" of Eater; his presence signifies that Eater is nearby. |
| 524 | ---- |
| 525 | * BeneathTheMask: [[spoiler:He constantly repeats that he doesn't want the others to come save him, because it's too dangerous and because it'll stop him from being a PowerLimiter...but when the protagonist Connect Jumps into Mother Eater, they see an apparition of Yuugo's true feelings revealing him to have been feeling lonely and abandoned and wanting to be saved while the real Yuugo pleads with them not to listen.]] |
| 526 | * DistressedDude: [[spoiler:The final battle of the game is a journey to the Digital World to save him.]] |
| 527 | * ForgottenChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler:''He'' is the forgotten friend in question, the ''real'' Yuugo Kamishiro; the incident regarding him caused Suedou to wipe his friends' memories to spare them their sanity.]] |
| 528 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He tried to hold off the invading Eater in the Digital World eight years prior to prevent it from reaching the other kids, and became the first EDEN Syndrome victim as a result.]] |
| 529 | * HiveQueen: [[spoiler:Although he can't directly control them, he's capable of seeing things and communicating through Eaters; even then, he has a difficult time doing so, and is only able to appear to the protagonist through a "memory fragment" he places in them at the start of the game.]] |
| 530 | * PowerLimiter: [[spoiler:He's responsible for restraining Eater as part of its core; without his presence, Eater is capable of going on a rampage, eating everything indiscriminately. This is the only reason either world survived the Eaters for so long. ''Hacker's Memory'' reveals that an unrestrained Eater could devour all of Eden within a few hours.]] |
| 531 | * WalkingSpoiler: As he's one of the most important characters in the plot, the number of spoiler tags in this section alone was inevitable. |
| 532 | |
| 533 | !King Drasil (''Yggdrasill'') |
| 534 | The "god" of the Digital World and the ruler of the Royal Knights. After Eater's invasion of the Digital World, it ordered the Royal Knights to investigate, but the unclear nature of its "will" left the Royal Knights split between interpretation over whether the solution was to [[KillAllHumans destroy the human world]] or find another way. |
| 535 | ---- |
| 536 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: It merely figured out where the Eaters came from and told the Royal Knights to investigate, whether or not it actually wants humanity destroyed or not isn't clear, as Leopardmon and the other evil Knights seem to have ''assumed'' it was. |
| 537 | * HumansAreTheRealMonsters: This is its "will", or, at least, if half of the Royal Knights are to be believed. |
| 538 | * LighterAndSofter: [[Anime/DigimonXEvolution Compared to]] [[Anime/DigimonDataSquad other incarnations]] [[Anime/DigimonAdventureTri of Yggdrasil]], anyway. |
| 539 | * MasterComputer: As per the tradition of the Digimon franchise, it's not actually a god as much as it's just a master computer running the Digital World. |
| 540 | * MercyKill: [[spoiler:The protagonists never fight it while it's bearing malicious intent. By the time they reach its terminals, it's pleading for help, so destroying them comes off as euthanizing them. The core entity survives, however.]] |
| 541 | |
| 542 | [[/folder]] |
| 543 | |
| 544 | [[folder:Introduced in ''Hacker's Memory'']] |
| 545 | !'''Keisuke Amazawa''' |
| 546 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amazawa_keisuke_2.jpg]] |
| 547 | ->'''Voiced by''': Ryota Asari |
| 548 | -->''"Once I'd reached a certain age, [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent I started to realize that I'm not the hero type.]] [[LampshadeHanging I'm just a background character in this world,]] [[TheGreatestStoryNeverTold and I appear in none of its stories.]] Still, someday... I dream of the day I can become a hero."'' |
| 549 | |
| 550 | The Hero(?) of ''Hacker's Memory.'' His original EDEN account was stolen by a hacker, causing him to set up a temporary account, drawing attention and accusations of being a hacker himself. In order to clear up this mess and restore his reputation, he seeks out the hacker who raided it, running into Ryuji Mishima, and subsequently joins the hacker group known as Hudie. He is given the choice of a Betamon, Tentomon, and Gotsumon as his starter Digimon. |
| 551 | ---- |
| 552 | * BadassLongcoat: What primarily marks him as a Hudie member is his long blue coat. |
| 553 | * BeadyEyedLoser: He is consistently [[InformedDeformity described by other characters]] as having [[TheNondescript a generic and unmemorable face]]. His small irises are [[GenericCuteness the only thing that differentiates him from other characters]]. |
| 554 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: Chitose bluffs his way into intimidating the Steam Dealers group by pretending that Keisuke's super violent underneath his quiet demeanor. |
| 555 | * ButtMonkey: He's constantly abused by people and even his own team several times. |
| 556 | * AChildShallLeadThem: [[spoiler:By the end of the story, both Ryuji and Chitose agree to give him the mantle of leader (temporarily) because Ryuji has a lot to answer for due to his actions under Arcadiamon's control and Chitose being so helpless after coming out of his EDEN Syndrome.]] |
| 557 | * ClearMyName: His initial motivation as he tries to find his original EDEN account and explain he's not a hacker to his school. |
| 558 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Like Aiba, he can have very dedicated bonds with his Digimon pals. Furthermore, he demonstrates the trope proper at the game's beginning, where he's determined to free whatever two Digimon the player didn't pick to own. It's this friendliness that inspires the Digimon he ''did'' pick to stay with him after the event is all said and done. |
| 559 | * TheGadfly: Several of his dialogue options include provoking whomever he's talking to with playful banter, comments, or insults. Especially if Erika is concerned (after she's warmed up to him). He also likes to tease Yu from time to time. |
| 560 | * TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: Said so himself. Several things that happen in ''Cyber Sleuth'' occur because he happened to have an indirect hand on them, such as Kyoko's insane coffee blends and even Yuuko's attempts to act like a "normal" friend. |
| 561 | * GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: In a departure from the typical ''Digimon'' installment, his goggles are instead a VR headset that also functions as his Digivice. |
| 562 | * HeroicMime: The only times he ever speaks are in a few cutscenes and during battle. Dialogue choices and actions seem to indicate that he's got a strong sense of justice and a penchant for snarkiness. |
| 563 | * {{Hypocrite}}: During a sidequest where a doctor refuses to treat a wounded Kuzuhamon, he has a rather negative opinion of said doctor refusing to treat a wounded digimon. However, during an attack on Akihabara later in the game, he doesn't lift a finger to help the wounded and dying Digimon in the area, failing to even acknowledge their presence (though, granted, [[spoiler:he had to deal with K and then a crazed Ryuji before they could do more damage]]). |
| 564 | * LimitedWardrobe: {{Averted}}. Unlike Aiba, Keisuke has many different shirts and several outfits to choose from, and is capable of changing at nearly anytime. |
| 565 | * MistakenForProfound: Kyoko interprets his decision to make a silly face instead of striking a pose for a photo during her Shinjuku experiment as a reminder to take in all the factors for composing a photo when he actually just likes making that face for photos. |
| 566 | * NotAMorningPerson: According to random replies in the [=DigiLine=], he admits he's this. |
| 567 | * OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: A perfectly unremarkable student who hadn't gotten involved in any trouble before his account got raided. |
| 568 | * OutOfCharacterMoment: He spends the entire game being kind to Digimon, was visibly uncomfortable with Digimon being traded in the black market, and told off a doctor for not treating a wounded Kuzuhamon in a sidequest. However, when going through an attack on Akihabara later in the game, he has no reaction to the Digimon lying wounded and possibly dying around the area, leaving them to die without even thinking about helping them. |
| 569 | * RidiculouslyAverageGuy: Keisuke's lack of distinctive qualities is often called to attention in the plot. Unlike Aiba, he has no history in the Digital World, no special powers, and no connection to the major players in the plot of the Eaters and Digital World. He's just a kid who got his identity stolen and decided to try to get it back by joining a hacker group. Even his looks are much more generic than those of Aiba. |
| 570 | * RippleEffectProofMemory: [[spoiler:Despite the world being reset in the end, he still remembers Erika at the end]]. |
| 571 | * ThousandYardStare: What he's seen giving in promotional material for the game and certain cut-scenes; his rather small irises only reinforces the imagery. Granted, he's much more facially expressive in-game. |
| 572 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: PlayedForLaughs. Several cases end up showing that in one way or another Keisuke was indirectly responsible for the odd things that happen to Aiba, such as providing the ingredients for some of Kyoko's coffee or having provided the books that led Yuuko to assume a friend needs to act like an EmotionlessGirl {{Tsundere}}. |
| 573 | |
| 574 | !Erika Mishima |
| 575 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mishima_erika.jpg]] |
| 576 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/YuiOgura |
| 577 | |
| 578 | A fellow member of Hudie and Ryuji's younger sister. Her brain is partially connected to EDEN at all times, making her incredible with information processing. Her Digimon partner is Wormmon. |
| 579 | ---- |
| 580 | * AgentScully: She's highly skeptical of the various phenomena going on in EDEN and Tokyo and believes in examining all the evidence before reaching a conclusion. The one that really frustrates her is Mirei since she thinks of the rumors of Mirei being a witch are nonsense but her Digilab is unreachable by conventional means for her, Mirei casually blocks her from entering when she tries to hack her way in, and Keisuke's explanation doesn't satisfy her. |
| 581 | * BitchSlap: Delivers an ''incredible'' one to [[spoiler:Rie/Crusadermon on the Metropolitan Building rooftop, for demeaning human pain and suffering.]] |
| 582 | * ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:As Hudiemon, she departs to the Digital World because her staying in the Human World after the CosmicRetcon would still lead to her inevitable death and cause grief to Ryuji all over again.]] |
| 583 | * DelicateAndSickly: Her illness can be exacerbated by physical or emotional strain. As little as walking too far can cause a potentially life-threatening flare up. |
| 584 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: Erika is indisputably the other leading character besides Keisuke of ''Hacker's Memory'' as her backstory is pivotal to Hudie as a whole, [[spoiler:motivated Suedou into becoming a villain, and provides the means for Eater to fully take over EDEN.]] Her arc is the one to most prominently intersect with the themes of SchrodingersButterfly and the importance of memory. The theme of identity while jumping between worlds is seen in her recognizing the utility of being so connected to EDEN while being insecure about what this means for her identity when both reality and data blur together. She frequently asserts that memories form who she is, from how she's relied to EDEN to store them to [[spoiler:rebuilding herself from said memories to help create Hudiemon.]] Her entire partnership with Wormmon ties into both themes as their identites independent of each other become blurred the more Erika transfers her memory into it, [[spoiler:culminating in the two coalescing together as Hudiemon with the memories of both.]] Erika is the one who has the most development across the game and, [[spoiler:along with Keisuke, is the one to ultimately put a close to the story by signifying she'll watch over him and the rest even after leaving for the Digital World.]] |
| 585 | * FusionDance: Happens to her twice. [[spoiler:The first is when her Eater Bits turn on her, creating Eater Legion. During the fight against Eater Legion the final uncorroded portion of Erika's memory informs the members of Hudie that at that point her body has been completely lost and its death means her death. After being reminded of everything she wished to do with her life that fragment fuses with Wormmon to become Hudiemon, [[ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth who proceeds to assist Keisuke in killing her former self, declaring that she's the "new Erika"]].]] |
| 586 | * GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Her whale plushie, Memetan, which doubles as a modded portable PC is just one of ''many'' stuffed animals in her collection, though this one's the most precious to her. There's even an entire sidequest dedicated to snagging her another stuffed animal from the same lineup as Memetan. [[spoiler:Her memory server reveals even more stuffed animals in her old childhood bedroom and that Memetan was with her in the car accident her parents died in, explaining why she's so attached to that one in particular.]] |
| 587 | * {{Hikkikomori}}: At the beginning of the game, she's basically confined herself to the VIP room of their net cafe. When she leaves for the first time, she mentions that it's been ages since she went outside and begins to slowly go out more and more as the game's story progresses. |
| 588 | * HiveQueen: Toward the end of the game [[spoiler:she manages to hack into an Eater and use the information to create her own small army of Eater Bits. While they do prove necessary to defeat Arcadiamon, it ultimately becomes her undoing. When one of her hacked Eater Bits regains independence and uses its link to her memory server to take over her body and becomes the hive queen to the Eaters in Eden.]] |
| 589 | * InsistentTerminology: She's ''not'' dissecting poor Wormmon, she's ''analyzing'' him. |
| 590 | * LiminalBeing: As Erika stores the bulk of her memories in a server to lessen the strain on her physical brain, she often muses that she's as much of a digital being as she is a flesh and blood human. [[spoiler:This perspective is part of why she chooses to live on as part of Hudiemon rather than allow herself to be reborn with the rest of the universe]]. |
| 591 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:When trying to find a way to cure Chitose's EDEN Syndrome, and with help from Suedou's research, Erika breaks into the Mother Eater in the Digital World. It works, and Chitose is cured... but when the Eaters have to flock en masse to the Digital World, they need to find a way and thus Erika becomes their target because of her knowledge, and end up taking over EDEN when that proves to not be enough.]] |
| 592 | * PowerIncontinence: Essentially how her illness works. Her brain would occasionally work so hard the rest of Erika's body suffers as a result, and thus needs to have her memories periodically stored in EDEN just to keep it under control. [[spoiler:And even that is eventually revealed to only delay the inevitable.]] |
| 593 | * RetGone: [[spoiler:As history is being rewritten Hudiemon is left with the choice of returning to being Erika who will still suffer the accident that killed her parents and gave her her illness, or to remain as Hudiemon while the new world has no Erika which would prevent the accident from occurring, sparing Ryuji the loss of his family. She chooses to remain Hudiemon, and is only remembered by Keisuke in the new world.]] |
| 594 | * TeenGenius: Erika is one of the most brilliant hackers alive despite being a very young girl. |
| 595 | * TransferableMemory: Thanks to the method of treatment for her illness she's able to share basically everything about her mind with her Wormmon, making it her equal and able to fill in for her. |
| 596 | * {{Tsundere}}: She often alternates between "hot" and "cold" when interacting with Chitose and Keisuke, and often is reluctant to admit her true feelings. |
| 597 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: It was at least in part her accident and family's desperation to turn to a completely insane and experimental treatment that [[spoiler:drove Suedou toward his plan to push humanity beyond the concept of sadness.]] |
| 598 | * YouCantFightFate: [[spoiler:The car accident that killed her parents and caused her illness occurred is revealed to be destined to occur even as reality is being rewritten. Rather than return to reality and face this inevitable fate, Erika chooses to remove herself from the timeline entirely so that the trip would never occur to begin with, sparing Ryuji the pain of losing all of his family]]. |
| 599 | * YoungAndInCharge: Erika is a young teenager, but technically the manager of Hudie's cyber cafe. She leaves most of the day-to-day operations to Ryuji and Chitose while she handles the minutia necessary to keep both the cafe and hacker team as a whole afloat. |
| 600 | * YourDaysAreNumbered: The strain her illness places on her body is slowly but surely worsening. Even the memory dump treatments are becoming less and less effective. A conversation with Suedo near the climax of the game has him sadly imply that Erika isn't expected to survive much longer. |
| 601 | |
| 602 | !Ryuji Mishima |
| 603 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mishima_ryuji.jpg]] |
| 604 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuuichiNakamura |
| 605 | |
| 606 | The founder and leader of Hudie, and Erika's older brother. His Digimon partner is Cyberdramon, and later [[spoiler:Arcadiamon]] before [[spoiler:Justimon]]. |
| 607 | ---- |
| 608 | * BerserkButton: Just seeing Arata makes him ''livid''. |
| 609 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Very much so. Most of his actions seen during the game, as well as the ones mentioned to have occurred prior, are for the benefit of Erika. |
| 610 | * BigDamnHeroes: Pulls this at the game's beginning, where he saves Keisuke from having his account raided ''twice.'' |
| 611 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:When Arcadiamon goes out, it takes a hold of Ryuji and makes his bottled-up insecurities and anger pour out too much. And when he's freed from Arcadiamon, he still wishes to repent for everything he did, despite the fact every other hacker knows it really was outside his control.]] |
| 612 | * CharacterDevelopment: He is mostly seen as the level-headed leader of Hudie. But as the story goes on, his insecurities towards Erika start to come one by one, culminating in [[spoiler:getting brainwashed by Arcadiamon and raining hell on the hacker community while angrily venting out on Erika for forcing him to drop a normal life to look after her and be another puppet for Rie Kishibe to manipulate.]] After all is said and done, he wishes to make amends and tries to [[spoiler:force hackers to beat him up for what was really out of his control]], which ends with [[spoiler:Cyberdramon Digivolving into Justimon.]] |
| 613 | * CrutchCharacter: He often accompanies Keisuke on story missions during the first half of the game. Unlike the player character, who most likely has Rookies and Champions during this point, Ryuji is packing an ''Ultimate level Cyberdramon with infinite health and SP''. Chances are he's going to be dealing much more damage to the opponent than your own Digimon will. |
| 614 | * EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:Both Keisuke and Chitose are quick to forgive for Ryuji for his actions as Arcadiamon's partner. Averted with Fei however due to him having threatened Yuuko's safety.]] |
| 615 | * FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:After watching Chitose being fed on by an Eater during the failed Under Zero raid, he is corrupted by the Arcadiamon trapped within the area. He thereafter serves as an enemy for much of the game, since Arcadiamon is forcing him to feed it the data of hackers and their Digimon.]] |
| 616 | * FormFittingWardrobe: It's more apparent in-game. It's also notable because he's the ''only'' male main character to wear clothing that accentuates his physique (compared to the many female characters who do). |
| 617 | * {{Hunk}}: Compared to the rather lanky male cast, Ryuji is much more defined muscularly (which is accentuated by his tank top). Even Makiko Date is visibly flustered by him. |
| 618 | * TheLeader: [[spoiler:He formed Hudie with Chitose after the failed Jude attack on Under Zero.]] He calls all the shots on Hudie's major cases, though he does occasionally defer to Yuugo's authority. |
| 619 | * TheMentor: He teaches Keisuke the ropes of being a hacker and member of Hudie. |
| 620 | * MythicalMotifs: All of his Digimon used are draconic in some way since his name is ''[[MeaningfulName Ryu]]''ji. ("Ryu" means "dragon"). |
| 621 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Keisuke (then Chitose, and lastly Erika) are heavily distraught by Ryuji’s sudden distance during Chapters 10 and 11. |
| 622 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: The Digimon he's personally raised all have draconian attributes, either in name or by design. Fitting considering his own MeaningfulName regarding dragons. |
| 623 | * ParentalSubstitute: Though he's Erika's brother, Chitose notes that Ryuji often acts way more like a dad towards her since he was PromotedToParent several years ago after a car accident killed both of them. |
| 624 | * SleevesAreForWimps: His main outfit shirt-wise consists of a stylized sleeveless tank top. He, as the ''leader'' of the team, won't even wear his Hoodie jacket, which has sleeves, opting instead to tie it around his waist (but in a fashion where the Hudie logo is still clearly visible). |
| 625 | * TheStoic: He's pretty stern faced and serious most of the time, especially in the beginning of the game. If not for his occasional outburst every now and then, he'd take first place over Erika. |
| 626 | * UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:His Cyberdramon does not leave his side even one moment. It even tries to stop Ryuji from being brainwashed by Arcadiamon (in vain), and then protects him when Arcadiamon is defeated.]] |
| 627 | * TheVoiceless: His Cyberdramon, like Chitose's Ankylomon, doesn't say a word, but [[spoiler:it clearly does try to keep Ryuji safe.]] |
| 628 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Was friends and teammates with [[spoiler:Arata]] in the past. The relationship still remains a sore spot for Ryuji. |
| 629 | |
| 630 | !Chitose Imai |
| 631 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chitose_imai.png]] |
| 632 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukiOno |
| 633 | |
| 634 | The sub-leader of Hudie and a firm believer in justice. He and Ryuji have been friends for a long time, founding the hacker group together. His Digimon partner is Ankylomon [[spoiler:before his given Angemon DNA Digivolves with it and becomes Shakkoumon]]. |
| 635 | ---- |
| 636 | * CasanovaWannabe: A lot of his spare time is spent trying (unsuccessfully) to hit on women. The only one he doesn't seem to be interested in is [[MySisterIsOffLimits Ryuji's sister.]] |
| 637 | * FastballSpecial: [[spoiler:Decides to introduce his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Ryuji by throwing poor little Wormmon right onto his face]]. |
| 638 | * TheHeart: With his generally cheerful attitude, he's the emotional glue that binds Hudie together. [[spoiler:His influence on the team becomes much more noticeable after he is afflicted with EDEN syndrome, as Hudie begins to fall apart (both metaphorically ''and'' physically).]] |
| 639 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Ryuji. Together, [[spoiler:they formed Hudie after the Judes disbanded, cementing his place as Ryuji's right hand man and close family friend. It's also a major reason why Chitose saves Ryuji from an Eater attack, getting afflicted with EDEN syndrome in his stead.]] |
| 640 | * InformationBroker: His role in Hudie as he gathers info for their missions through malware and social contacts. |
| 641 | * ItWasAGift: The reason he ends up with [[spoiler:a Shakkoumon? The Angemon that Hudie's internet cafe clerk gifted him, DNA Digivolved with Chitose's own Ankylomon. Also serves as an example of GameplayAndStoryIntegration.]] |
| 642 | * {{Keet}}: Out of the mostly reserved Hudie, he's clearly the most energetic and excitable. He can also be very loud at times too-usually whenever he's passionately ranting about something. |
| 643 | * NiceGuy: Very friendly, upbeat and easy to be around. Notably, out of all of Hudie, he's the only one to warmly welcome Keisuke into the group immediately. Ryuji uses this characteristic to his advantage, by having Chitose take care of Hudie's public image and relations. Furthermore, his explicit appreciation of Ankylomon is [[spoiler:what allows it to DNA Digivolve with Angemon to become the much stronger Shakkoumon.]] |
| 644 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He had the hints, but Keisuke confirms to him that something is very wrong with Ryuji. He’s later seen moping and depressed, which alarms Keisuke. |
| 645 | * PrettyBoy: He's ''very'' pretty, with soft facial features and longer hair, in contrast to the more rugged Ryuji and average Keisuke. |
| 646 | * PutOnABus: [[spoiler:He's out of commission for several chapters due to being attacked by an Eater. Luckily, he gets better and comes back for the final chapters of the story.]] |
| 647 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:Gives a ''lengthy'' one to Ryuji once the latter is momentarily free of Arkadiamon's influence. He doesn't skip a beat, telling Ryuji to stop feeling sorry for himself after all the crap he's done, namely: completely destroying Hudie's reputation, attacking countless Hackers and feeding their Digimon to Arkadiamon, destroying Hudie's building and center of operation, being a JerkAss to Erika, putting both Erika and Fei in the hospital, costing the woman Chitose loves her job, attacking Tokyo and other Japanese cities, being a danger to the public, and several other points. And this all comes after he's ''just'' recovered from the previously incurable EDEN syndrome.]] |
| 648 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He is no longer able to accept Ryuji’s morally gray actions [[spoiler:as a result of working with Kamishiro]] during chapters 10 and 11, and ditches Hudie for [[spoiler:Nokia’s Rebels team]], even if temporarily. He makes it very clear to Keisuke that he has a certain set of morals underneath his CasanovaWannabe tendencies- which may just be his way of coping with trauma. |

| 651 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nogi_yu_5.jpg]] |
| 652 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukoSanpei |
| 653 | |
| 654 | Keisuke's best friend and the only student at his school who still supported him after his account was stolen. |
| 655 | ---- |
| 656 | * AmbiguouslyGay: His devotion toward Keisuke closely resembles that of Fei's toward Yuuko and at one point has Keisuke take him to various date spots, which he insists is just so he can make suggestions to a friend who asked for dating advice. Keisuke silently notes that Yu has no other friends beyond himself, but tagged along happily anyway. |
| 657 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: A big reason why he's so...''devoted'' to Keisuke. Keisuke stood up to Yu's bullies while ensuring he wasn't messed with subsequently. It's also established that Keisuke is the only real genuine friend that Yu has. |
| 658 | * BerserkButton: It's rather subtle at first, but it soon grows apparent that he does ''not'' like when Keisuke spends time with Hudie. Especially if it cuts into his own time with Keisuke. |
| 659 | * BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:When it seems that the combined abilities of Keisuke, Ryuji and Chitose are not enough to break into the Eater-infested EDEN, Yu uses the connections he made as K to rally every other hacker faction. Together, they manage to allow the trio to break in.]] |
| 660 | * CannotSpitItOut: He ''blatantly'' has strong feelings for Keisuke, despite them not being clearly identified as platonic or romantic. Either way, he's never able to share them entirely with Keisuke due to either freezing up or being interrupted by someone or something. |
| 661 | * DudeLooksLikeALady: He is regularly mistaken for a girl, and this in turn leads to him being constantly bullied. |
| 662 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:After the CosmicRetcon, he ends up being a Hudie team member and is good friends with Keisuke, Ryuji, and Chitose.]] |
| 663 | * EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:After defeating him and freeing him from Matadormon's control, Keisuke bears no grudge against Yu despite all the manipulation. If anything, he's thankful that Yu allowed him to meet and join Hudie.]] |
| 664 | * HeroWorship: He idolizes Keisuke for having saved him, constantly, from bullies and does everything he can to assist him in getting his original account back despite his complete aversion toward hackers. |
| 665 | * PrettyBoy: He may be even prettier than Chitose. The fact that he looks like a girl, has lilac hair, soft features, and frequently blushes only enhances this Trope. |
| 666 | * RuleOfSymbolism: It's never explicitly stated what his partner is, but bringing him along in Domination Battles features a Gekomon/Whamon as the central party member. [[spoiler:After Yu and Keisuke reconcile, it has Digivolved into a [=MarineAngemon=], indicating how Yu has accepted himself for who he is and become a better person.]] |
| 667 | * UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:At some point before the story, he fell under the influence of Matadormon. It used his loneliness and feelings for Keisuke to manipulate the boy into acting as his agent and commit crimes on both the physical and digital side.]] |
| 668 | |
| 669 | !K |

| 671 | ->'''Voiced by:''' ??? |
| 672 | |
| 673 | A mysterious hacker who claims to be the guardian of EDEN, protecting it from those who would bring it to ruin. |
| 674 | ---- |
| 675 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: Drops a few hints he might not be one at the start. [[spoiler:Turns out he is, and any hints to the contrary were just a mysterious act. Except that he ''actually'' gets controlled by a Digimon, so this might qualify as [[AccidentalTruth accidental foreshadowing]] on his part.]] |
| 676 | * ArcVillain: Of Keisuke's search for whoever stole his account. [[spoiler:He ultimately bears no relevance for the overarching plot of ''Hacker's Memory'', but he gets significant focus halfway-through.]] |
| 677 | * BigBadFriend: His real identity is [[spoiler:Yu Nogi, with his HeroWorship pushed straight into {{Yandere}} territory by a Matadormon hiding in his mask.]] |
| 678 | * CoolMask: Wears a white mask at all times. [[spoiler:It's also an EvilMask, being the hiding place of a Matadormon who's gradually driving him insane.]] |
| 679 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:By the time Digimon start pouring into the real world, he becomes less dangerous after running into an Arcadiamon-possessed Ryuji and gets defeated earlier before Arcadiamon is.]] |
| 680 | * DramaticUnmask: [[spoiler:He sets one up to screw with you. In fact, he [[EvilCounterpart gets]] [[BigBadFriend a few]] [[TheFaceless of these]].]] |
| 681 | * {{Herald}}: Sets Keisuke on his path by passing him leads on who stole his account, while fashioning himself as a kind of TricksterMentor. [[spoiler:Though as most of those leads turn out to be straight-up lies, Keisuke quickly stops trusting him [[GoneHorriblyRight in favor of other hacker allies like Hudie.]]]] |
| 682 | * InexplicablyAwesome: The powers he starts showing later on - controlling his Digimon remotely, [[spoiler:puppeteering other accounts, creating a cage around you that blocks logouts]]. Erika notes that it's very odd for someone with such powers to show up out of nowhere so suddenly. |
| 683 | * LineOfSightName: the hacker who calls himself K [[spoiler:turns out to be a regular at the K Cafe.]] |
| 684 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Wears predominantly red and black clothes, in contrast to Keisuke's cool blue. As for the "Evil" part,[[spoiler:his actions increasingly become antagonistic to the player as the game goes on. Right down to ultimately being the culprit behind stealing Keisuke's account, siccing a [=SkullSatamon=] on a defenseless Keisuke, trapping him on EDEN in a manner similar to EDEN Syndrome and ultimately being the reason Keisuke has to fight an empowered Matardormon. And of course, this doesn't even count the other crimes he's done throughout EDEN. ]] |
| 685 | * SanitySlippage: After the entirety of Tokyo is swallowed by a Digital Shift and hackers gain the power to alter the "real" world, he turns maniacal, starts rampaging with his Digimon, and encourages Keisuke to do the same. [[spoiler:Of course before that, Matadormon was already twisting him. And by the end, Matadormon itself has become insane from the feedback loop.]] |
| 686 | * TheManBehindTheMan: Partway through the plot, he claims to be the real leader of the Demons, with Jimmy [=KEN=] as a front man. [[spoiler:If this wasn't true originally, he does take over after Jimmy [=KEN=]'s final defeat.]] |
| 687 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Had he not had advised Keisuke to [[spoiler:go after Youji Shiga, Keisuke would not have met Ryuji and joined Hudie subsequently (thus keeping him away from spending time with K/Yu, driving the latter into a dangerously obsessive desire to spend more time with him).]] |
| 688 | * {{Yandere}}: He desires little more than to be Keisuke's best friend and partner. And he will do anything to accomplish that goal. [[spoiler:He was the one to steal Keisuke's account and proceeds to send him on a wild goose chase consisting of other accounts he's hacked and controls remotely in order to make Keisuke rely on him, failing to consider that "K" is quickly proven to be untrustworthy while Yu is presented as timid and completely averse to interacting with hackers, which only serves to drive Keisuke to Hudie. When the world undergoes a Digital Shift he snaps completely, deciding he'll just ''become'' Keisuke as he can just bring the account avatar onto himself in the real world.]] |
| 689 | |
| 690 | !Arcadiamon (''Arkadimon'') |

| 692 | |
| 693 | A mysterious and ''very'' powerful Digimon that serves as one of the primary threats in ''Hacker's Memory''. |
| 694 | ---- |
| 695 | * EldritchAbomination: One of the earliest examples in the franchise and you'd be forgiven for thinking that this thing couldn't possibly be a Digimon considering just how different it acts and looks compared to other Digimon. It's Ultra form in particular is ungodly in both appearance and power. |
| 696 | * GenericDoomsdayVillain: It doesn't have many aspirations beyond wanting to destroy and consume everything. [[spoiler:Not to mention that Arcadiamon has absolutely nothing to do with the Eaters, K, or the Royal Knights. Arcadiamon is in its own separate rampage.]] |
| 697 | * KnightOfCerebus: When it finally gets involved, things go downhill ''very quickly''. [[spoiler:Ryuji becomes its thrall, dozens of Digimon and hackers fall prey to its hunger, Hudie's workplace is demolished, and Erika is eventually assimilated by the Eater Bits she created in order to fight it]]. |
| 698 | * SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:The core of Under Zero that was protected by the Knightmon that beat down Jude was this thing's prison. Poor Ryuji ends up freeing it during his HeroicBSOD]]. |
| 699 | * OlympusMons: Any Digimon that reaches the Mega or Ultra levels qualify, but Arcadiamon deserves special mention as the ''first'' Digimon to ever achieve the latter form, and it has the power to back it up. |
| 700 | [[/folder]] |
| 701 | |
| 702 | [[folder:Royal Knights]] |
| 703 | As the Royal Knights primarily pertain to the second half of the game, note that this section contains '''unmarked spoilers'''. |
| 704 | |
| 705 | A group of Digimon who serve under the Digital World's "god", King Drasil, and carry out its will. However, they're under dispute as to what King Drasil's will actually ''is''; one faction believes that it wants to destroy the human world and KillAllHumans, while the other believes otherwise. As a result, the conflict between them becomes a major theme of the latter half of the game. |
| 706 | |
| 707 | Although Digimon franchise lore establishes that the group was founded by Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, he himself does not appear in the plot, and shows up only as an OptionalBoss in the Royal Knights evolution-unlocking questline. |
| 708 | |
| 709 | !Omnimon/Agumon and Gabumon (''Omegamon'') |
| 710 | [[caption-width-right:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_omega.jpg]] |
| 711 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChikaSakamoto (Agumon) and Creator/MayumiYamaguchi (Gabumon) |
| 712 | |
| 713 | Nokia's partner(s), who initially appear to her as Agumon and Gabumon. Like the other Digimon in EDEN, they hail from the Digital World, but initially have amnesia as to why they came to EDEN. Nokia's strong will and determination allows them to digivolve back into Omnimon and recover his true purpose: save the Digital World from Eaters. |
| 714 | ---- |
| 715 | * AFormYouAreComfortableWith: After regaining the ability to become Omnimon, it's the form he chooses to spend the most time in whenever applicable. Oddly enough, the ''only'' Digivolution stages Omnimon is never seen in, in both ''Cyber Sleuth'' and ''Hacker's Memory,'' are [=MetalGreymon=] and [=WereGarurumon=]. |
| 716 | * AmnesiacHero: A big spoiler and a key part to what he is. He initially came to investigate the cause and origin of Eaters, as well as to seek a diplomatic solution in dealing with the threat (rather than annihilating the human world). As Omnimon was too large data-wise to exist at the time of his arrival, he split into the much smaller Agumon and Gabumon. In the process, they lost their memory of both their existence and mission, leading to their less-than-mature introduction (and lack of knowledge) at the game's beginning. |
| 717 | * PositionOfLiteralPower: He's a ''Royal Knight'' for a reason. As Agumon and Gabumon, he's not particularly strong or intimidating. After regaining his true form however, his power increases substantially. This is best shown with how easily he defeats Fei's party while simultaneously worrying the usually confident Yuugo-two of the most formidable and strongest hackers in EDEN at that time. |
| 718 | * BigGood: In a literal sense as well. Once the Royal Knight arc kicks off, he immediately establishes himself as a powerful ally for Aiba, Nokia, and such. He's the initial driving force regarding recruiting other Royal Knights towards humanity's cause, as well the as the most explicitly heroic in doing so. |
| 719 | * BigEater: Agumon and Gabumon, to the point where they run Nokia's wallet dry trying to get them food. |
| 720 | * CurbStompBattle: As Omnimon, he dishes one out soundly to Fei after DNA Digivolving at Under Zero. It's even more notable because her party consisted of ''three'' Mega level Digimon, one even having a type advantage over Omnimon. |
| 721 | * TheDitz: Even as Omnimon, it shows brief glimpses of its generic lack of intelligence whenever going along with Nokia's insane ideas. |
| 722 | * {{Expy}}: Agumon and Gabumon are clearly based on the ones from ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', having the exact same personalities as them. Their fusion into Omnimon is also based on the one from ''Our War Game''. |
| 723 | * FusionDance: He functions as one harmonious entity as Omnimon, but has distinct personalities as Agumon and Gabumon. |
| 724 | * GoFetch: When attempting to stop Nokia from approaching Under Zero, Arata distracts [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=] by...throwing a large chunk of meat for them to chase after. It works surprisingly well. |
| 725 | * SleepModeSize: The reason they appear as Agumon and Gabumon. Omnimon was forced to degenerate to Rookie form in the process of crossing over from the Digital World to EDEN; he didn't expect to lose his memories in the process. After becoming Omnimon, he still chooses to revert to Agumon and Gabumon occasionally in order to save energy for when the situation needs it. |
| 726 | * WhatWouldXDo: Briefly contemplates what Nokia would do when wondering whether to take the risk of destroying the Digital Line point, as there wasn't any way to be sure of what would happen as a result. He concludes that she'd charge in before thinking and does so without hesitation. |
| 727 | |
| 728 | !Crusadermon (''[=LordKnightmon=]'') |

| 730 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaHisakawa |
| 731 | |
| 732 | A dramatic and flamboyant Royal Knight obsessed with gracefulness and beauty. It's one of the more vocal members of the KillAllHumans camp among the Royal Knights. Having inhabited Rie Kishibe's body in the hopes of infiltrating the human world, she's responsible for Satoru Kamishiro's murder and most of the main plot. |
| 733 | ---- |
| 734 | * AmbiguousGender: Crusadermon had traditionally been considered a very effeminate male Digimon in the Japanese versions of [[Anime/DigimonFrontier previous]] [[Anime/DigimonDataSquad works]], but in this game it possesses the female Rie Kishibe and has female mannerisms. In the Japanese version of this game, Crusadermon's voice actress is female, and it's hard to be picky about human mediums when you can only pick from conveniently comatose bodies. Furthermore, Crusadermon's Japanese speech pattern is gender neutral, but not as feminine as Kishibe's. Additionally, they specifically refer to themselves as the "king of Knightmon" in the Japanese scripts. Meanwhile, the localization refers to her as a female [[MythologyGag the exact same way the dub did]] for Anime/DigimonFrontier's "Crusadermon" before, unlike how Anime/DigimonDataSquad "[[BlindIdiotTranslation Loadknightmon]]" was treated and voiced as male. |
| 735 | * BerserkButton: Having her pride insulted, or just being insulted in general, by anything she deems beneath her (as Yuuko found out in their final confrontation). She also absolutely ''detests'' humanity and anyone that sympathizes with them. |
| 736 | * TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: ''Her'' version of Fist of Athena is capable of inflicting Instant Death on the recipient; any Crusadermon a ''player'' raises can only stun others with the same move. |
| 737 | * DyingAsYourself: Inverted; Crusadermon starts spouting out lines as Rie while dying as a way of taunting Yuuko. |
| 738 | * DyingDeclarationOfHate: With her last breath she responds to Yuuko's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech with this, telling her that she always abhorred her. |
| 739 | * FailedASpotCheck: {{Averted}}. When Aiba, Nokia, and Yuuko confront her in Odaiba, she realizes that she never formally did her DramaticUnmask in front of Yuuko, who was incapacitated at the time. Cue her doing it again, LargeHam and all. |
| 740 | * GlassCannon: While every Royal Knight boss has quite the pool of HP, Crusadermon's is notably lower (along with her defenses) than her peers. The trade-off for that though is that she commands a ''highly'' damaging piercing move, which none of the other Royal Knights (outside of Alphamon Ouryuken, Gallantmon Crimson Mode, and Omnimon) possess. |
| 741 | * TheHeavy: While the Eaters and Leopardmon are the ultimate villains who must be stopped, Crusadermon is directly responsible for most of the events of the story, from corrupting Kamishiro from the inside to summoning the Royal Knights to the human world. |
| 742 | * HumanityIsInfectious: {{Deconstructed}}. Crusadermon learned darker emotions like ''toxic'' ambition and taking satisfaction in crushing those weaker than oneself from inhabiting Kishibe's body. To the frustration of all, she takes to these emotions and feelings ''very'' well. |
| 743 | * ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: While subservient to Leopardmon, it's ultimately Crusadermon that the cast has the most personal animosity towards, given most of the suffering they'd experienced up until then was Crusadermon's doing. It's ''especially'' personal with Yuuko after Crusadermon reveals that she killed her father (and that he did not, in fact, die from his alleged suicide). |
| 744 | * KillAllHumans: Loathes humanity particularly more than the other Royal Knight and is especially fond of the idea. |
| 745 | * LargeHam: The most boisterous and grandiose of the Royal Knights. While the rest of her faction is more subdued with their distaste for humanity and their goal of its destruction, Crusadermon relishes nearly every moment she gets on-screen passionately, whether she's discussing her contempt for humans, pride as a Royal Knight, etc. |
| 746 | * LetsGetDangerous: She finally snaps to the point of wanting to settle things personally with the heroes after Yuuko declares how Crusadermon will die by her hand in the name of revenge for her father. Thus, unlike her previous fights, she commits to crushing the party by busting out her signature moves during the fight (until that point, she had only resigned to wasting turns with insults and basic moves). One of the signature moves she unleashes is her ''Fist of Athena,'' a piercing move which is capable of one-shotting whoever she hits with it. She also buffs her attack stat to ''ridiculous'' levels during the fight, meaning that if her Fist of Athena doesn't one-shot through its effect, it'll end up doing that ''anyway'' by virtue of sheer power. |
| 747 | * TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Originally didn't plan to kill Satoru Kamishiro; his murder came about due to the combination of Rie Kishibe's ambition and negative feelings along with Crusadermon's hatred of humanity and bloodlust. The whole "hatred of humanity" thing wasn't really helped by the experience of Rie's particularly nastier emotions. |
| 748 | * NoblewomansLaugh: Does this several times throughout her appearances, usually either when she believes she has the upper hand in a situation or when she's simply mocking her opposition. The "nobility" part comes from her Royal Knight status. |
| 749 | * RecurringBoss: The player clashes with her the most of any Royal Knight during the story, for a grand total of four times. The first and third fights are interrupted, while the second fight ends up only being with a , weaker, Crusadermon copy. It isn't until the fourth and final battle that the player is able to delete her for good...but not without dealing with her newly incited LetsGetDangerous attitude. |
| 750 | * RevengeBeforeReason: While the other Royal Knights of her faction sincerely see exterminating humanity as a way to save their own world, Crusadermon is ''hellbent'' on humanity being destroyed and is the most openly callous with the notion; if she can make any human's experience needlessly painful, she'll do it; there is barely a line of dialogue she has when she's not insulting humanity in some way, shape, or form. It gets so bad, that even the usually-neutral ''Alphamon'' ends up calling her out on her behavior. |
| 751 | * {{Sadist}}: ''Very much so.'' Half of her dialogue is of the pleasure she gets from watching humanity suffer (or when she crushes her enemies), while the other half could very well be how much she hates humanity and ''wants'' it to suffer. While the spread of Eden Syndrome wasn't a goal of hers, she smugly confides to Yuuko that she enjoyed its horrific spread nonetheless. |
| 752 | * SomethingAboutARose: Her FlowerMotif is that of a rose, as she brandishes one during her formal introduction and she bursts into a flurry of rose petals when she's eventually killed. |
| 753 | * WhatTheHellHero: Alphamon gives a succinct one to her during Crusadermon's final showdown with Aiba, Yuuko, and Nokia. After she, again, monologues on the sheer ''pleasure'' she's derived from Kishibe's negative feelings, Alphamon criticizes her that such talk and mentality doesn't befit the nature and reputation of a Royal Knight. |
| 754 | * YouKilledMyFather: Killed Yuuko's father. It's debatable as to how much of the desire is attributed to Rie or Crusadermon, though. |
| 755 | |
| 756 | !Examon |

| 758 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Yuusuke Handa |
| 759 | |
| 760 | A huge behemoth of a Royal Knight who ends up slightly corroded by Eater on his way out and ends up rampaging around. As he requires a huge amount of energy to fight, Crusadermon has to supply him with it. |
| 761 | ---- |
| 762 | * AchillesHeel: Pointed out by Kyoko, he needs a ''very'' large source of power to maintain his form in the human world, unlike his peers. Had the Digital Gate remained open, this wouldn't be an issue. Thus, Crusadermon focuses Digital Wave energy from Eden to facilitate his energy needs, with the energy source being guarded by Craniamon. Once Suedou is able to stop it, the heroes are able to actually damage and, subsequently, defeat Examon. |
| 763 | * TheBrute: Examon's titanic size and immense power makes him a huge threat towards humanity, but his lack of thoughts (and characterization) reduces his role to that of an occasional rampaging beast. |
| 764 | * FlyingBrick: For a good chunk of the Royal Knight arc, this is exactly what he is. The heroes ignore him initially due to his power; when they finally attempt to face him, he trounces Omnimon, Gallantmon, Magnamon, Jesmon, [=UlforceVeedramon=], Gaiomon, and Aiba's entire Digimon party before eventually fleeing to terrorize Tokyo instead. ''None'' of them are able to do anything to slow him down. |
| 765 | * TheJuggernaut: When supplied with enough energy to fight, he's nigh unstoppable. To put things into perspective, it took a combined assault from multiple Mega level Digimon including '''''5''''' of his fellow Royal Knights (Omnimon, Gallantmon, Magnamon, [=UlforceVeedramon=] and Jesmon) just to drive him away temporarily. The entire plot of chapter 16 involved finding a way to cut off his supply of energy so he could be weakened to a point where he could actually be defeated. |
| 766 | * MightyGlacier: His huge size comes at the cost of requiring tons of energy to function properly, and the protagonist and Arata manage to defeat him only when his energy supply's been cut off. |
| 767 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: He's described as the most powerful of the Royal Knights when it comes to raw power. His introduction cutscene shows him sloppily destroying a skyscraper upon emerging from the Digital Gate. |
| 768 | * TheVoiceless: He never does anything but roar, despite having a proper, credited voice actor; it's unclear whether his situation has cut off his mental faculties. He is noted to be bugged by all the Eater infections. |
| 769 | |
| 770 | !Leopardmon (''Duftmon'') |

| 772 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NorioWakamoto |
| 773 | |
| 774 | The leader of the KillAllHumans camp among the Royal Knights, who adheres solidly to what he believes is King Drasil's will and is the creator of the plan to annihilate the human world. |
| 775 | ---- |
| 776 | |
| 777 | * BigBad: Or at least among the Royal Knights. Likewise, he ends up being one of the four that are unable to be convinced, and is the last to be defeated. |
| 778 | * LargeHam: Kind of hard not to be when you're voiced by Creator/NorioWakamoto. |
| 779 | * MultiformBalance: Notably ''averts'' this; despite the fact you can have your own Leopardmon that can change between two forms, the plot-important one never displays this ability. |
| 780 | * OneWingedAngel: Attempts to absorb enough energy to digivolve into something exceeding even Examon in power. [[spoiler:Subverted, as Nokia and the hackers manage to ReverseThePolarity and drain him instead.]] |
| 781 | * SmugSnake: A mistranslated line has him saying that he's the most powerful of the Royal Knights, making him this trope. His original line is more grounded in reality, where he calls himself a holy knight and the strongest lion. |
| 782 | * VillainousBreakdown: Loses it something fierce upon his defeat: [[InsaneTrollLogic he crows that his defeat must mean King Drasil has condemned both the Digital and Human worlds]] [[OmnicidalManiac to destruction]], and dies cackling like a lunatic. |
| 783 | |
| 784 | !Dynasmon |
| 785 | [[caption-width-right:349:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_dynas.jpg]] |
| 786 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Kouji Haramaki |
| 787 | |
| 788 | A member of the KillAllHumans faction, and therefore classified as one impossible to convince to take the side of humanity. He believes strictly in following Leopardmon's and what he believes to be King Drasil's will, and that his own don't matter when it comes to his own actions. |
| 789 | ---- |
| 790 | * AffablyEvil: For a member of the KillAllHumans faction among the Royal Knights, he carries himself with a almost knightly attitude and is one of the least vitriolic enemies towards our heroes, always speaking towards them in a very formal and respectful way. His UndyingLoyalty towards King Drasil that supersedes everything as far as he's concerned is what truly makes him an antagonistic force here. |
| 791 | * BrightIsNotGood: He's a predominately white armor-cladded Digimon, but he fights squarely for the extinction of the human race. |
| 792 | * CastFromHitPoints: His main fighting style. His primary offensive technique is ''Wyvern's Breath,'' which does ''a lot'' of damage to the player's party, at the cost of 20% of the collective damage done coming out of Dynasmon's own HP. To make up for the disparity, he has a couple of other moves that restore his HP based on or equal to damage he inflicts with them. |
| 793 | * DieLaughing: Dies claiming that he's doing so with his own beliefs without any remorse or second thoughts about his actions. |
| 794 | * FlatCharacter: While the Royal Knights vary in their characterization, barring the somewhat eroded Examon, Dynasmon has the blandest personality of the group. Unlike Craniamon, he doesn't eventually question his role in earth's destruction, nor does he scheme like Leopardmon or Crusadermon. He simply supports his faction as obedient muscle. |
| 795 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: This is how his battles can potentially go with him, depending on how savvy the player is. Dynasmon often does ''considerable'' recoil damage with his Wyvern's Breath attack. Repeated usage of it can have ''him'' dealing more damage to ''himself'' rather than the player (assuming the player can survive and heal through the onslaught). It gets so bad that he can even KO himself. |
| 796 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Very much so, as his Wyvern's Breath attack is capable of wiping out entire teams. Heaven help you if your party is is made out of Vaccines primarily. |
| 797 | * UndyingLoyalty: To the point where he doesn't consider his opinion on humanity being particularly important as long as he carries out his orders. His own "beliefs" are simply those of his masters, leading into what he considers his "sense of justice". |
| 798 | |
| 799 | !Gallantmon (''Dukemon'') |
| 800 | [[caption-width-right:327:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_duke.jpg]] |
| 801 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Yuusei Oda |
| 802 | |
| 803 | Omnimon's friend, who, despite not entirely having trust in humanity, doesn't believe that it should be annihilated. Thus, he assists the protagonists in fighting off the KillAllHumans faction and helping them gather more allies among the Royal Knights. |
| 804 | ---- |
| 805 | * BigDamnHeroes: He pulls this in Akihabara, where, in his debut, he shows up to even the score for Omnimon, who was about to be ganged up on by Leopardmon and Dynasmon. |
| 806 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Despite his royal and primarily white appearance, he's a Virus type Digimon; he's the only other Virus-typed Royal Knight aside from Crusadermon. Despite that and the evil connotation usually associated with the type, he's an ally for humanity's survival and opposes Crusadermon's faction. |
| 807 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:A minor one, towards Arata after the latter is rescued from Eater Adam. He still supports Aiba, but he makes it clear he and Arata are nowhere near on friendly terms.]] |
| 808 | * JerkassHasAPoint: His explicit opposition against Arata is made to come across this way, after Arata becomes part Eater, in light of the much more empathetic Aiba. While he has chosen to fight for humanity, he ''isn't'' going to allow a human to freely roam about after willingly merging with the EldritchAbomination that is destroying his own world and people. Left unchecked, he's correct in that Arata can become a threat to both humanity and Digimon...[[spoiler:which is ''exactly'' what happens with the creation of Eater Adam.]] |
| 809 | * MyGreatestFailure: Not being able to stop the Eaters in time that led to the demise of his compatriots and eventually [[spoiler:Arata becoming an Eater.]] |
| 810 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:After Aiba has defeated Eater Adam, Arata is not only separated from the Eater, but also from Gallantmon whom he had devoured. However, Gallantmon is too weakened to help them out for the final mission.]] |
| 811 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Noted by Omnimon, he swore to never kill a human but went after [[spoiler:Arata, worried about what he would become, though it was rather heavily implied that Gallantmon simply didn't see Arata as human any more after he'd merged with an Eater.]] |
| 812 | * VocalDissonance: When he's introduced, he is said to have a "screachy voice", but his actual voice sounds anything but screachy. The description fits more in line with Creator/MasakoNozawa's performance in previous installments and it may be possible that she was originally intended to "reprise" her role as Dukemon, but couldn't. |
| 813 | * TheWorfEffect: Although he's played up as powerful by the narrative, he doesn't do much in-game, and he's primarily known by fans of the franchise to be an especially strong Digimon (particularly enhanced by his large role in ''Anime/DigimonTamers''). Thus, when he fails to lay a scratch on Arata and is eventually defeated and "eaten" by him, it's meant to show off how freakishly powerful Arata has become. |
| 814 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He's staunchly on the side of humanity, but has no qualms in ''immediately'' attempting to eradicate Arata after the latter willingly chooses to merge with an Eater. |
| 815 | * WorfHadTheFlu: His actual defeat came after the first battle with Examon, where he was noticeably tired and hurt to the point Magnamon was worried about him. |
| 816 | |
| 817 | !Magnamon |
| 818 | [[caption-width-right:349:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_magna.jpg]] |
| 819 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Masaya Takatsuka |
| 820 | |
| 821 | A serious-minded and compassionate Royal Knight who's not sure which side to take in the schism between them. His point of concern is over two young Digimon he'd seen be separated; eventually, the two returning to him and putting in good words for Nokia convinces him to take the case for humanity. |
| 822 | ---- |
| 823 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Rather, because Aiba, Nokia, and Makiko were nice to his friends. Due to their kindness to Lopmon and Tokomon, Magnamon ultimately decides to fight for humanity, rather than assist the other Royal Knights in destroying it. |
| 824 | * BlueIsHeroic: His primary color scheme is a heroic gold while his secondary color is an equally heroic blue. The imagery paves way for his eventual allegiance. |
| 825 | * ChekhovsGun: The mission of helping Lopmon find his Digimon pal seems inconsequential and routine for Kuremi's agency, at first. Turns out, that doing so later secures Magnamon as an ally for Aiba and his friends, as well as humanity as a whole. |
| 826 | * DishingOutDirt: His attribute nature is Earth, interestingly. |
| 827 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Or at least to all Digimon, considering that his main worry is over two Rookie and In-Training Digimon. In regards to humanity, before Nokia returns them to him, he doesn't entirely know if they're good or not, and sides with them as soon as he feels there's a good case for them. |
| 828 | * GreyAndGrayMorality: Has this stance on the Eater situation, initially. He understands that humanity is responsible for the creation of the Eaters as well as the consequential destruction of the Digital World. It doesn't help that he's personally witnessed hackers abusing Digimon, in a manner akin to slavery, after his arrival in the human world. However, he's also aware that destroying another world for the sake of one's own isn't exactly morally correct or righteous-that would essentially be murdering millions of innocent lives. After Aiba's interactions, insistence from Omnimon, and learning about the newfound safety of his weaker friends, Magnamon ultimately chooses to forgo destroying the human world; he now fights against its destruction while trying to find a peaceful compromise for the situation. |
| 829 | * LightEmUp: One of his signature moves, Shining Gold Solar Storm, evokes this. |
| 830 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: Most Mega level Digimon are several stories in height. The same holds true for the Royal Knights, ''especially'' in Examon's case. Magnamon is roughly the size of a human adult yet they're equal in power ''and'' one of the highest ranking Royal Knights in this iteration. |
| 831 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: According to Kyoko, he ranks rather high among the Royal Knights. More specifically, he's a "leader" within their ranks. |
| 832 | * StoneWall: He's a defensive Digimon by nature: his highest stat is defense, one of his signature moves always increases his defense by 10%, and his signature skill has a 10% chance of reducing an opponent's attack damage by ''75%''. |
| 833 | |
| 834 | !Gankoomon |

| 836 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TetsuInada |
| 837 | |
| 838 | A Royal Knight who's less interested in the whole schism or his opinion on humanity as a whole as he is in grooming his protégé, Hackmon, into becoming a Royal Knight. The protagonist ends up meeting up with him in Ueno and negotiating an arrangement in that he'll assist humanity if they train Hackmon - which is easier said than done when Hackmon doesn't seem to want the help at all. |
| 839 | ---- |
| 840 | * AchillesInHisTent: Gankoomon has no desire to help with Leopardmon's plans against humanity, but doesn't bother to help the heroes combat it. His only concern is Hackmon's training. |
| 841 | * BadassArmFold: One of his default poses. |
| 842 | * HotBlooded: His way of catching up with his old friend [=BanchoLeomon=] is...to start a spar with him. In addition, what gets him to initially listen to your request to help humanity is the fact he "likes your spirit". |
| 843 | * NoIndoorVoice: Gankoomon tends to shout a lot. |
| 844 | * NotInThisForYourRevolution: ''At all.'' Even Jesmon takes a stance by aiding Aiba against Leopardmon's KillAllHumans faction. Gankoomon does not lift a ''finger'' for either of the Royal Knight groups; his only care being to ensure Hackmon developed into a Royal Knight. Even with that achieved, he still isn't seen doing anything for anyone for the the rest of the game. |
| 845 | * SinkOrSwimMentor: A particularly harsh mentor to Hackmon, as his final "test" to Hackmon is to defeat a [=BanchoLeomon=]. Ultimately, he does have Hackmon's well-being in mind. |
| 846 | |
| 847 | !Jesmon/Hackmon |

| 850 | |
| 851 | Gankoomon's devoted student in training to become a Royal Knight, who's lately been frustrated from the feeling of "something" restraining him. After coming to an epiphany about what it means to become a Royal Knight and defeating [=BanchoLeomon=], he evolves into Jesmon, the thirteenth Royal Knight. |
| 852 | ---- |
| 853 | * DeclarationOfProtection: The first step to Hackmon's epiphany is realizing that the purpose of a Royal Knight is to protect others, and thus he declares that he'll protect the protagonist when faced with [=BanchoLeomon=]. |
| 854 | * DontYouDarePityMe: His initial anger against Gankoomon and the protagonist comes from the fact that he believes Gankoomon is assigning the protagonist to train him from believing that he's so weak that he has to train with a ''human'', of all things. |
| 855 | * FireForgedFriends: With Aiba. While he initially detested his presence, he comes to appreciate them by the end of their battle with [=BanchoLeomon=]. So much so, that he pledges his loyalty to Aiba's cause and fights against Leopardmon's faction. |
| 856 | * GogglesDoNothing: Both as Hackmon and Jesmon he has goggles on [[ScarfOfAsskicking his]] [[BadassCape hood]]. These goggles in particular don't even seem ''possible'' for him to wear in either form, much less serve any purpose beyond referencing the series' preference for them. |
| 857 | |

| 860 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Keiji Hirai |
| 861 | |
| 862 | A Royal Knight who's not interested in doing much but destroying everything, and whose speed is so overwhelming that only the Royal Knight [=UlforceVeedramon=] can match him in it. |
| 863 | ---- |
| 864 | * AdaptationalVillainy: This is the first time we actually get to see a Kentaurosmon being on the side of the antagonists. His case is especially notable; while Leopardmon, Crusadermon, Dynasmon and Craniamon had been antagonists in previous installments, Kentaurosmon was the only one of the nine Royal Knights that showed up in ''Anime/DigimonDataSquad'' who did not oppose humanity and instead fought with them together against his fellow comrades. Even in this case, this Kentaurosmon is mainly influenced by the humans' negativity that is infesting EDEN, and unlike the other antagonistic Royal Knights, Kentaurosmon can be reasoned with. |
| 865 | * AntiVillain: Kentaurosmon's reason for opposing humanity is because of the being affected by their negative energy. |
| 866 | * AutomaticCrossbows: While the rest of the Royal Knights either wield a sword (Omnimon, Crusadermon, Jesmon, Alphamon, Leopardmon, Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, and [=UlforceVeedramon=]), a lance (Gallantmon, Craniamon, and Examon) or use their bare hands (Magnamon, Dynasmon, and Gankoomon), Kentaurosmon stands out with its long-range crossbow. |
| 867 | * CuriosityCausesConversion: Seeing the human world for himself is what causes him to switch from the "destroy humanity" faction to the "humans deserve life" one. |
| 868 | * DidYouJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: After defeating him, what convinces him to cooperate is Rina taking him with her on a tour of the town. |
| 869 | * FasterThanTheyLook: Kentaurosmon is certainly bulky what with his armor, weaponry, and large six-legged frame. In spite of that, ''he's the second fastest Royal Knight bar [=UlforceVeedramon=]''. It's also an example of GameplayAndStoryIntegration as speed is Kentaurosmon's highest stat and he keeps boosting said stat in battle. |
| 870 | * GoodIsNotNice: He's a ''Holy Vaccine'' Digimon, yet openly antagonistic and supportive of the human world's destruction. He gets better though, but even then that's only putting it mildly. |
| 871 | * HeelFaceTurn: After being defeated by Aiba and Rina and having his life spared by the latter, she and Kentaurosmon go on a tour to explore the world so he can finally have a clear opinion about humanity. After some sightseeing and visiting multiple restaurants, he finally joins the heroes [[spoiler:''after'' Duftmon and his entire faction is defeated]]. |
| 872 | * HumanityIsInfectious: This is the apparent reason for his terrorizing Eden before Aiba and [=UlforceVeedramon=] stop him. Upon coming to earth, specifically the cyberverse of Eden, he was greatly affected by humanity's negativity-so much so, that it caused his own negative feelings to become enhanced to the point of violent, explicit destruction. |
| 873 | * AnIcePerson: His signature move, Odin's Breath, involves using his Niflheimr to lower the temperature of the immediate climate while generating a blizzard. His other signature move is simply called ''Bifrost''. This also applies to his character as he's very cold and distant, even after socializing with Rina and V.V. |
| 874 | * LightningBruiser: When the protagonist initially encounters him, his speed is so overwhelming that they're unable to do anything; because only [=UlforceVeedramon=] can match up to him, and [=UlforceVeedramon=] is currently trapped between dimensions, this forces the protagonist to hop to an AlternateUniverse and recruit Veevee. His armor is the second toughest among the Royal Knights, and he has the strength that surpasses that of many other Mega Digimon. |
| 875 | * NotSoAboveItAll: After having visited many restaurant with Rina, he asks her if they can finally do ''something'' different. He's annoyed by her foolishness, but in the end, he does admit that he's actually hungry. |
| 876 | * SilentSnarker: You can meet him and Rina throughout several locations as you progress through the story. Most of the dialogue is about them sightseeing and mostly visiting different restaurants. Kentaurosmon is either silent or goes "Hmpf". It isn't until Akihabara that he finally points out that they haven't been doing anything different. |

He initially appears as a Veemon after having his power stolen by Barbamon, but is returned to [=UlforceVeedramon=] form after the protagonist recovers it and joins the fight to save humanity. |
| 883 | ---- |
| 884 | * BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: He's the tsukkomi to Rina's boke. |
| 885 | * HardWorkHardlyWorks: Averted. It's ''because'' of his hard work that Veevee was able to achieve the [=UlforceVeedramon=] form. Prior to Aiba's arrival, Rina was resigned to having to start from scratch again in leveling up to re-attain that power. |
| 886 | * LightningBruiser: Because his speed can match up with Kentaurosmon, he's the only one able to help the protagonist fight against him. |
| 887 | * LikeBrotherAndSister: Acts as sort of a responsible brother to Rina. |
| 888 | * NiceGuy: Very much so, with his kind and sunny disposition. As Rina's partner, he already has a lot of experience with and appreciation for humanity that many of the other Royal Knights lack. Furthermore, he willingly agrees to leave both his partner and his world behind to ''cross dimensions'' and aid a stranger in fighting an EldritchAbomination as well as parallel world versions of his brotherhood, with the possibility that he may not survive the endeavors. |
| 889 | * NoodleIncident: It's never explained ''how'' or why Barbamon was able to steal a Digivolution stage from Veevee. Let alone why Barbamon was in a Digital Shift and why there was a Digital Shift in Rina's world. Nothing else comes of the situation either after Veevee kills him with Aiba's assistance. |
| 890 | * ReplacementGoldfish: To the original [=UlforceVeedramon=]. [[spoiler:The fate of the original [=UlforceVeedramon=] never gets any closure, and the rest of the Royal Knights - particularly Alphamon - all but give up on saving [=UlforceVeedramon=]. ''Hacker's Memory'' eventually explains that the original got lost between dimensions on the journey to Earth and attempting to rescue it would only result in death.]] |
| 891 | * SuperSpeed: The fastest of the Royal Knights. It's his speed that's required to put a stop to Kentaurosmon's rampage. When the fight happens proper, he's even shown boosting the speed of Aiba's party to keep up in the battle. |

| 899 | * AffablyEvil: In his last moments, he admits that he's harbored second thoughts about hating humanity in the same way that Leopardmon and Crusadermon do and following King Drasil's orders, not wanting to believe that he was being disloyal. |
| 900 | * BerserkButton: While willing to humor Suedou's questioning, Craniamon becomes furious and goes for the kill when Suedou mocks his fealty to King Drasil as having no will. |
| 901 | * ExtremeDoormat: He's only against humanity because of his loyalty towards his lord, and Suedou calls him out for Craniamon's lack of free will and thoughts. He does end up shaken by Suedou's words, has second thoughts about his loyalty and is then severely weakened by his doubt. He eventually gets a little bit interested in humans when he dies. |
| 902 | * GoodIsNotNice: A trait shared with his faction. Despite his intimidating appearance, he's actually a ''Vaccine'' type Digimon. However, he willingly follows the kill-all-humans faction within the Royal Knights schism. |
| 903 | * GracefulLoser: Upon being defeated, he expresses surprise at the result but ultimately resigns without any further protest or resentment, unlike his peers. He even comments on how Aiba and Yuuko defeated him ''soundly.'' |
| 904 | * HonorBeforeReason: Despite knowing that attempting to venture further into the Digital Space [=UlforceVeedramon=] was trapped in would be a suicide mission, he insisted on going in to find his lost comrade. This forces Keisuke and Alphamon to knock him out to prevent him from throwing his life away for nothing. |
| 905 | * OutOfFocus: Gets the least amount of screen time of all the Royal Knights in the original game as he's killed at the same time he was formally introduced. Perhaps as a result of this, he is the focus of a mandatory case in ''Hacker's Memory'' that delves a bit more into his sense of honor and conflicting feelings toward humans. |
| 906 | * TheWorfEffect: He's the first of the Royal Knights to actually be killed or deleted. This comes after several clashes the player has with them, in which they remain alive despite fierce battles to the contrary. Craniamon's defeat also comes directly after the first battle with Examon, where the insinuation is that everyone that participated in that fight (including Aiba and Yuuko's Digimon) is still quite exhausted physically. |
| 907 | * UndyingLoyalty: |
| 908 | ** To King Drasil, to the point where Suedou calls him out for not acting as if he has his own free will. Suedou's words do end up creating doubts in his loyalty, which later ends up significantly weakening his stats and makes him vulnerable. |
| 909 | ** This loyalty also extends to his comrades as seen in ''Hacker's Memory''. After finding out that [=UlforceVeedramon=] was lost between dimensions, he dedicates everything he has to tracking him down, even willingly teaming up with a human just to find him. When he reaches the distortion where [=UlforceVeedramon=] was lost, he insists on investigating it to find him even though there was nothing more they could do, and attempting to pass through the distortion would likely cost him his life. |
| 910 | * WeCanRuleTogether: Suedou attempts a lower-key version of this on him, asking if he could instead assist him in "evolving" the world instead of trying to destroy humanity. It doesn't work and only serves to enrage Craniamon. |
| 911 | * YouShallNotPass: Evokes this word for word when Aiba, Yuuko, and Suedou attempt to cut Examon's power line. He ultimately fails at preventing their passage, however. |

| 913 | !Alphamon |
| 914 | [[caption-width-right:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digimon_cs_alpha.jpg]] |
| 915 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaayaSakamoto |
| 916 | |
| 917 | The legendary [[SixthRanger "Knight of the empty seat"]] of the Royal Knights, who exists as a balancing factor for the Royal Knights - and, in fact, the true identity of the "Kyoko Kuremi" seen throughout the game, being an inhabitant of her body in the hopes of discovering the truth behind the Eater incidents. |
| 918 | ---- |
| 919 | * AmbiguousGender: As with Crusadermon above, Alphamon had typically been portrayed as male in previous franchise materials. Again, the convenience of a female medium are present, but it is notable that Alphamon and Kyoko-Alphamon have a slightly masculine speech pattern (though not exclusively male), while the true Kyoko speaks femininely. |
| 920 | * BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: Exists as a stabilizing factor for the Royal Knights, although "saving humanity" would probably verge on good in this case. |
| 921 | * CordonBleughChef: The one responsible for "Kyoko"'s disturbing taste in coffee. |
| 922 | * GoodCounterpart: To Crusadermon/Rie. They're both [[FusionDance Digimon inhabiting and being influenced by a human body]], but while Rie made Crusadermon more unhinged, Kyoko helped Alphamon [[NeutralNoLonger side with the heroes]]. |
| 923 | * TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Kyoko's body has had such an influence that Alphamon is liable to start waxing philosophy or scientific speculation even in Digimon form. |
| 924 | * NeutralNoLonger: Is supposed to balance out the other Royal Knights, but ultimately joins the protagonist's faction as a powerful ally. |
