Calmaramon is the Beast Warrior of
Water, created when
Ranamon
Slide Evolves using the
Beast Spirit
of Water. While she
appears humanoid from the waist up, Calmaramon’s entire lower
half is a huge,
grotesque, squid-like form, complete with deadly tentacles with which
she can
lash or crush her opponents. She is also not limited to an aquatic
environment
– using her two main tentacles as legs she can walk on dry land,
but seems a
bit ungainly. She can vomit streams of viscous, acidic ink from her
mouth.
The fact that Ranamon had been unable to locate her Beast
Spirit while
Grumblemon and
Arbormon
already had theirs led to
Ranamon receiving
lectures from
Mercurymon
on the subject, driving her to search for it – finally, during a
battle with
Kazemon, she sensed the Spirit’s
presence, and located it in a wrecked ship on the ocean floor. As
Calmaramon –
a Beast form so disgusting that it even alienated her loyal
Toucanmon
fan club – she proved more
than a match for Kazemon, but failed to claim victory when she lost
control of
her Beast Spirit and flung herself over the horizon. After a brief
training
session (which nearly demolished the villains’ headquarters), she
renewed the
hostilities, only this time, Kazemon had located her own Beast Spirit,
and as
Zephyrmon, proved to be a match for
Calmaramon. Once again, Calmaramon lost control of her Beast Spirit and
whirled
off into the distance.
Ranamon next assumed the form of Calmaramon to fight off an
attack by the
DigiDestined shortly
after
Takuya returned from a brief
trip back to Earth.
Having harnessed the power of
the
elements to strengthen themselves, the DigiDestined left Calmaramon and
Mercurymon with no option but to retreat.
A short time later, when Mercurymon assumed his Beast form
of
Sakkakumon and trapped the
DigiDestined within his massive body, Ranamon co-ordinated a strike on
Zoe when
she was separated from her friends. After a failed attempt to twist her
mind
with a tainted apple, Ranamon resorted to more physical means of
conflict, and
Calmaramon and Zephyrmon came to blows again – with Zephyrmon
claiming the
definitive victory as she scanned the Beast Spirit of Water, reverting
Calmaramon back into Ranamon, who Kazemon then destroyed, loading her
human
Spirit.
Calmaramon first
appears in “Beastie Girl.” Her voice
is supplied by Peggy O’Neal.
Name: From “calamari,”
an Italian word meaning squid, prepared as food.
CANDLEMON
Group:
Fire – Level: Rookie – Type: Data – Attack
Techniques: Lava
Loogie, Paraffin
Paralyser
When
attempting to traverse a cavern on the
way to the
Forest
Terminal, the
DigiDestined encountered a tribe of
Candlemon, who were unconvinced that they possessed the power of the
Legendary Warriors. The elder of the
tribe pretended to welcome them in with a ceremony, but during the
ritual the
Candlemon exposed them to the fumes of burning
sleeping
clover, incapacitating
Bokomon and
Neemon,
and
forcing the kids to flee into the nearby river. Drawing the attention
of the
Candlemon patrolling the river’s edge,
Takuya
became
Agunimon, but found that his
fire-based attacks had no effect on his opponents. When
Tommy
discovered the
Spirit
of Ice and entered the fray as
Kumamon,
one of the Candlemon
Digivolved into
a
Wizardmon, but with Kumamon’s
help, Agunimon was able to penetrate his illusions and defeat him,
scanning his
Fractal Code. The Candlemon elder,
now convinced that the kids held the power of the Legendary Warriors,
apologised for testing them, and allowed them to traverse the canyon,
via the
bridge that Wizardmon’s Fractal Code created.
Multiple Candlemon were later seen at the
Autumn Leaf Fair.
Candlemon first appear
in “Kumamon Baby, Light My Fire.” The
Candlemon elder is voiced by Michael McConnohie, while the other two
prominent
Candlemon in the episode are voiced by Tom Fahn and Robert Martin Klein.
Trivia – The Candlemon
elder asks of the kids: “Please, be our guest,” a reference

“Beauty and the Beast,” which features a living candelabra,
Lumiere, who sings
a song titled “Be Our Guest.”

Episode Trivia – The
title of this episode is derived from the traditional saying,
“You can’t keep a
good man down.”
CELESTIAL DIGIMON
With
their demise, the ten
Legendary Warriors
entrusted their
Spirits to the three
Digimon
that they had chosen to restore peace to the
Digital World,
and rule over it –
Seraphimon,
Ophanimon
and
Cherubimon, the Celestial
Digimon, who the Digital World’s three moons were subsequently
named after. And
for a time, peace did indeed reign, until
Lucemon
exploited an internal conflict between the Celestial Digimon, taking
control of
Cherubimon and setting him against the other two. Seraphimon was badly
wounded
in Cherubimon’s initial attack, and Ophanimon was forced to give
herself up to
save his life. She returned Seraphimon to his castle, where she placed
him in
stasis to heal, and scattered the five Spirits in their possession
across the
Digital World, before being taken by Cherubimon’s minions,
created through the
power of the Spirits in his possession, to Cherubimon’s castle at
the
Rose Morning Star. Imprisoned there,
she called on human children from the real world to come to the Digital
World
and use the power of the Spirits to battle Cherubimon’s force.
A short time after the coming of these
DigiDestined,
Seraphimon awakened, but was defeated in battle by
Cherubimon’s minions, and had his
Fractal
Code absorbed by
Mercurymon,
reverting him to a
Digi-Egg that
eventually hatched into a
Patamon,
who accompanied in the kids on the remainder of their journey, which
eventually
led them to the Rose Morning Star, where Ophanimon sacrificed herself
to help
them defeat Cherubimon.
Later, after the DigiDestined helped relocate the
Village
of Beginnings to the
Ophanimoon, the Digi-Eggs
left by
Cherubimon and Ophanimon hatched into
Salamon
and
Lopmon, so that even after all
they had been through, the Celestial Digimon could be reunited.
Together in
this form, they were able to generate an energy force that they used to
shape
protective prisms, and to propel the shattered chunks of the moons
through
space.
When all hope seemed lost in the final battle with Lucemon,
visions of Seraphimon, Ophanimon and Cherubimon appeared to the
DigiDestined to
spur them on.
The first of the
Celestial Digimon to appear is Seraphimon,
in “Better An
Egg Than An Egg Shell,” though Ophanimon’s voice is
heard as early as “All Aboard.”
CERBERUMON
Group: Dark Animal – Level: Ultimate- Type: Vaccine –
Attack
Techniques: Emerald Blaze, Portals of Darkness
This bestial creature was the very first
Digimon that
any of the
DigiDestined had to fight after their
arrival in the
Digital World.
Tearing through the
Village of Flames,
Cerberumon absorbed much of its data in his search for one of the
ancient
Spirits, and
Takuya soon
found himself in his way. When the Spirit was located,
its power momentarily repelled Cerberumon, and transformed Takuya into
Agunimon, who proceeded to battle the
canine Digimon. Using his Portals of Darkness technique, Cerberumon
opened a
gateway into a sub-dimensional pocket of darkness, where he and
Agunimon
battled, but Agunimon was able to overcome him, destroying him and
scanning his
data. Then, he rendered the
Fractal Code
that Cerberumon had consumed, restoring the
Village
of Flames.
Cerberumon appears in “All Aboard.”
His voice is supplied by Steve Kramer.
Name: From “Cerberus,”
the legendary three-headed hound that guards the gates of Hades in
Greek
mythology.
CENTARUMON
Group: Animal - Level:
Champion - Type:
Data
- Attack Techniques: Solar Ray, Jet Gallop
Having failed in his first attempt to hold up the
DigiDestined,
Sagittarimon didn’t take things lying down,
quickly putting
together a small army of Centarumon to help him renew his thievery
attempts.
The Centarumon proved no match for the kids’
Spirit
Evolved forms, and when Saggitarimon was defeated, they
allowed the Centarumon the option to flee, rather than fight on –
and option
that they gladly availed themselves of.
Centarumon appear in “The Bully
Pulpit.”
Their assorted
numbers are voiced by Tom Fahn and Dave Mallow.
Name: From “centaur,”
a half-man, half-horse creature from Greek mythology.
CHAMELEMON
Group:
Reptile – Level: Armour – Type: Virus – Attack
Techniques: Tongue Lashing, Wide Eyes
Possessing extendable, prehensile tongues and a camouflage
ability that allows them to vanish into thin air, the
Chamelemon,
acting as minions of
Petaldramon,
terrorised
Hamburger Digimon Village,
acquiring for their master a feast of burgers to sate his hunger.
Capturing
Burgermon, Petaldramon charged his wife
and children with creating a better burger in order to see him
returned, and
the
Chamelemon returned the following
night to see
what their efforts had produced – but in the interim, the
DigiDestined had come to the village and made some
burgers of their
own, and
Tommy’s burgers impressed
them so much that the
Chamelemon took
Tommy,
J.P. and
Zoe to
Petaldramon’s mansion. Burgermon’s children, the
TorikaraBallmon, followed the
Chamelemon
to the mansion, but were captured by one of
their number, forcing the kids into action. In their
Spirit
Evolved forms, they defeated the
Chamelemon
and
Kumamon scanned their data,
reverting
them into
Armadillomon.
The Chamelemon appear in “You
Want Fries With That?” The lead
Chamelemon’s voice
is supplied by Richard Epcar. Chamelemon Digivolve from Armadillomon,
using the
Digi-Egg of Kindness.
Name: From
“chameleon,” a breed of lizard characterised by its
camouflage ability.
CHERRYMON
Group: Vegetation – Level: Ultimate – Group: Virus –
Attack
Techniques: Cherry Blast, Illusion Mist
While trapped inside
Sakkakumon
and separated from the rest of his friends,
J.P.
entertained thoughts of eating the cherries he saw in a nearby
tree, until the tree turned out to be a Cherrymon that promptly
attacked him.
Quickly
Spirit Evolving into
Beetlemon,
J.P. easily dispatched the
Cherrymon, scanning its data.
Cherrymon appears in “Zoe’s
Unbeelievable
Adventure.”
“Cherry Blast” is a new name for the attack called
“Pit Pelter,”
used by the Cherrymon in season one. His voice is supplied by Dave
Wittenberg,
in the style of famous actor Marlon Brando, as homage to the
Brando-style voice
used by Jeff Nimoy when he voiced the Cherrymon from season one.
Name: From “cherry,” a
fruit.
“CHERUBIMANIA”
Digimon Frontier episode
#37
English version
written by Steve Blum
Cherubimon
absorbs all the captured data from the
Digital
World into his body, enhancing his powers, and takes on
EmperorGreymon
and
MagnaGarurumon in a pitched final battle. It takes
all their
strength to overcome Cherubimon’s new power, but EmperorGreymon
is able to
shatter the sphere of data and purify Cherubimon, restoring him to his
original
self before he deletes. But with one evil gone, a new one awaits its
chance to
arise…
CHERUBIMON
Group:
Angel – Level: Mega – Type: Virus/Vaccine –
Attack
Techniques: (normal) Storm of Judgement, Lightning Spear, (enhanced
power)
Terminal Judgement, Thousand Spears, Lightning Blast
With the demise of the
Legendary
Warriors, Cherubimon, along with the other
Celestial
Digimon,
Seraphimon
and
Ophanimon, was chosen to restore
peace to the
Digital World. As the
only Beast-type
Digimon in the
governing triumvirate, Cherubimon was charged with the protection of
the
world’s knowledge and legend, and was also given five of the
Spirits left by the Legendary Warriors
to guard. And the Digital World was restored to peace… though it
would not
last, as Cherubimon increasingly found his views contradicting those of
his
fellows. Cherubimon saw the Digital World as a wild place, with an
inherently
chaotic nature, and made the debate one of Human versus Beast.
Departing from
the debate anger, he later eavesdropped on a secret meeting
between
Seraphimon
and Ophanimon, but misunderstood their intentions, thinking they
planned to
undermine him, when they only sought a way to reconcile their views
with his.
And in this moment of rage, considering Seraphimon’s laws fit
only for Human
Digimon, he vowed to give the Beast Digimon a new system of order and
was
touched by the dark aura of
Lucemon,
the evil being sealed away by the Legendary Warriors, who saw an
opportunity to
use Cherubimon to his own ends. Cherubimon was transformed into a dark
shadow
of himself, a Virus type, who amassed an army of Beast Digimon and led
them in
an attack on Seraphimon’s palace, decimating his Human-type
followers and
felling Seraphimon, declaring himself the new law of the Digital World.
Ophanimon was forced to give herself up to Cherubimon to make him spare
Seraphimon,
who she secreted back to his castle and placed in suspended animation
to heal, before
scattering the five spirits that had been in their care across the
Digital
World.
Unbeknownst to himself, Cherubimon acted as Lucemon
directed, sending out minions to harvest the data of the Digital World,
which
could give Lucemon back his freedom. Amongst his servants were those
that he
sought to create through the power of his five Spirits, but although he
was
able to find Digimon hosts for the Spirits of
Earth, Wood,
Water and
Metal,
creating
Grumblemon,
Arbormon,
Ranamon and
Mercurymon, his
experiments with the Spirit of
Darkness bore
no fruit, as no Digimon could fuse with it’s power. The other
four warriors,
meanwhile, saw to transporting Ophanimon into captivity in
Cherubimon’s castle
at the
Rose Morning Star. From
there, she reached into the real world and summoned human children to
the
Digital World to be the
DigiDestined,
who would wield the power of the Spirits and defeat Cherubimon’s
evil.
Cherubimon was not unaware of this, and so, when
Koichi
Kimura, the brother of
Koji
Minamoto, one of Ophanimon's selected children, fell down
a flight of stairs in his pursuit of his brother, rendering himself
comatose, Cherubimon reached
out to his spirit, bringing it to the Digital World, where he gave
Koichi the Spirit
of Darkness, tainted with his own dark powers, turning him into
Duskmon.
Cherubimon refrained from involving himself personally in
the conflict for some time, dispatching his minions to deal with the
DigiDestined. Although they succeeded in destroying the healed
Seraphimon and
reverting him to a Digi-Egg, the first of his four warriors were
eventually all
defeated and destroyed by the DigiDestined, leaving only Duskmon, to
whom
Cherubimon then gave the
Beast Spirit
of Darkness, turning him into
Velgemon.
But through sheer determination, Koji defeated his brother in
battle and
took the Spirits of Darkness from him, returning him to normalcy.
Koichi then
joined the kids on the last leg of their journey to the Rose Morning
Star, but
on the way, Cherubimon created a massive projection of himself to block
their
path, derailing their Trailmon and proving impervious to their attacks.
It was
then that Koichi freed the Spirits of Darkness from Cherubimon’s
influence,
unlocking their true power, becoming
Loewemon
and
JagerLoewemon, and
destroying Cherubimon’s projection, enabling the DigiDestined to
complete their
journey.
Once at
the
Rose Morning Star, after
hearing the tale that
had led to the Digital World’s current state from the captive
Ophanimon, the
DigiDestined were confronted by Cherubimon, who summarily defeated them
in
battle and claimed their
D-Tectors. Faced
by Ophanimon, a blast from her
Eden’s
Javelin made Cherubimon briefly revert to his Vaccine self, but he
quickly
transformed back, focusing his hatred on Ophanimon, blaming her and
Seraphimon
for making him what he had become. Ophanimon offered to use her powers
to save
him from his darkness – and she appeared to do so, but in
reality, reclaimed
the D-Tectors, returning them to the kids, and awakening a new power in
them –
Unified Spirit Evolution, allowing
Takuya and Koji to become
EmperorGreymon
and
MangaGarurumon. The ensuing battle proved them to
be more than a
match for Cherubimon, who retreated to the core of his castle and
instigated
his final plan – compressing every ounce of data that his minions
had gathered
into one sphere, Cherubimon absorbed it into himself, giving him
complete
mastery of the Digital World’s reality. Growing to a massive
size, he faced off
with EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon once more, with enhanced
versions of his
regular attacks being the least of his powers, which extended to such
feats as
regenerating his decimating body and rending open space to transport
the castle
from
ToyAgumon’s island to the
battleground for the purpose of dropping it on top of MagnaGarurumon.
As the
duo surged through a wave of this Thousand Spears, MagnaGarurumon was
cut down,
and EmperorGreymon finally claimed victory by shattering the sphere of
data in
Cherubimon’s forehead with his blade and using his D-
Tector
to absorb it all. Cherubimon reverted to his Vaccine self once more,
and then
into a Digi-Egg, which floated off to the
Village of Beginnings.
A short time later, after the DigiDestined helped relocate
the
Village of Beginnings
to the
Ophanimoon, Cherubimon
hatched from his Digi-Egg in his Rookie form of
Lopmon.
The image of Cherubimon then appeared to the DigiDestined
along with the other Celestial Digimon and the kids’ Digimon
forms to spur them
on to face Lucemon in final battle.
Cherubimon is first
mentioned in “Lobomon:
Warrior of Light,” accompanied by an illustration in Bokomon’s book. Cherubimon
himself first appears, in a shadowed silhouette, in “From
Dawn To Duskmon,” when he also
first
speaks. His first clear appearance is an image of him in “My
Brother In Spirit,” and his
projection
appears in “Ne’er The Twins Shall Meet,”
but it is “Operation: Rescue Ophanimon”
before Cherubimon fully appears in the flesh. His voice is supplied by
Paul St.
Peter, reprising the role from “Digimon: The Movie.”
Name: From “cherubim,”
an order of angel from Christian belief. Bandai of America call
this Digimon “Kerpymon,” but his
original name was retained for the dubbed version of Digimon
Frontier to properly preserve the way the Celestial Digimon
reflect the three highest orders of angel – Seraphim
(Seraphimon), Cherubim
(Cherubimon) and Ophanim (Ophanimon).
CHERUBIMOON
The Digital
World’s red moon. When
Lucemon
destroyed the
Ophanimoon, the
resultant shockwaves reduced both the Cherubimoon and the
Seraphimoon
to
rubble.
The Cherubimoon first
appears in “Kumamon Baby, Light My
Fire.” It is destroyed in “The
Brothers Yin and Yang.” It is never identified by name in the
American
version.
CHIAKI
When
Ophanimon
sent out the call to bring children to the
Digital
World, she could not know which children would be the chosen ones,
the
DigiDestined. And so many other
children were brought to the Digital World, including the young girl
named
Chiaki. When all the other kids were returned home following the
selection of
the DigiDestined, Chaiki, along with three boys named
Katsuharu,
Teppei and
Teruo,
could not be persuaded to do so, and so Ophanimon appointed an
Angemon to see that they came to no
harm during their stay in the Digital World
The precise activities of Chiaki and her friends
before
meeting up with the DigiDestined are undocumented, but it is known that
they
spent some time in a
Mamemon
settlement, befriending the Mamemon, and, before leaving, helped to
plant a
beanstalk.
When the DigiDestined arrived in
Steel Town,
they were confronted by
Sagittarimon, who was chased off when
the kids and Angemon intervened. Following the subsequent explanations,
an
argument ensued between the children, as the DigiDestined told Chiaki
and the
others that they should return to Earth, though Angemon soothed things
over.
Enjoying a rare moment of downtime,
Zoe
and
J.P. helped Chiaki and Teruo in
the garden they had made, but things took a turn for the worse when
Sagittarimon returned with an army of
Centarumon,
forcing the DigiDestined to reveal their
Spirit
Evolution powers to Chiaki and the others. Sagittarimon and his
minions
were defeated, but the
Royal Knights
arrived immediately thereafter, destroying Angemon and capturing the
kids,
taking them to the Mamemon settlement, now called
Beanstalk
Village, mistakenly believing that they knew the location
of the key that would unlock the village’s data and allow them to
scan it. The
DigiDestined pursued, and in the course of the following battle, the
elder
Mamemon was forced to reveal the key’s location to stop the
violence; the
village was scanned, but its inhabitants and the kids were saved by the
DigiDestined. The elder Mamemon convinced Chiaki and the others to
return home,
and they departed on
Worm.
Chiaki first appears
in “The Bully Pulpit.” Her voice is
supplied by Tifanie Christun.
It has been theorised
that Chiaki and her friends may have been conceived as a new holders
for the Spirits of Earth, Wood,
Water and Steel – if true,
Chiaki would be the logical candidate for the
Spirits of Water.
CHIBOMON
Group: Micro - Level:
Baby -
Attack Technique: Bubble Blow
Multiple Chibomon were among the young
Digimon
tended to at the
Village of Beginnings,
including when it was relocated to the
Ophanimoon.
As seen in “Glean Eggs And Scram” and “When
Knights Fall…”
Name: While it may immediately appear to be
derived from
"chibi," the Japanese term meaning small, it's actually a corruption
of his Japanese name, "Chicomon," which may come from the Spanish
word "chico,"
meaning "small."
CHUUMON
Group: Animal - Level
:
Rookie - Type:
Virus
- Attack
Techniques: Cheese Bomb, Whisper Voice.
Multiple Chuumon were among the
Digimon
at the village where the
DigiDestined
met the
KatatsukiNumemon, one
of them was
present at the fortune-telling fair, and two of them – one
accompanied by a
Sukamon – were present at the
Autumn Leaf Fair during the DigiDestined’s
first visit. Two Chuumon
were also seen amongst those evacuated when they returned to protect it
from
the
Royal Knights.
As seen in “A
Hunka Hunka BurningGreymon,”
“Bizarre Bazaar” and “All Aboard The
Tag Team Express.”
Name: From the
Japanese word, “chuuchuu,” the sound of a mouse squeaking.
CONOMON
Group: Micro – Level: Baby – Attack
Technique: Bubble Blow
A Conomon was among the young
Digimon
attending
Togemon’s
Digimon School., and many of them were among the babies at the
Village of Beginnings.
Once the village was relocated to the
Ophanimoon,
Cherubimon’s Digi-Egg hatched into a
Conomon, which immediately Digivolved into a
Lopmon.
As seen in “The Odd One Out,”
“Glean Eggs And Scram” and “When
Knights Fall…"
Name:
Probably from "cone," referring to the conical spikes on his head,
though it's also a corruption of the Japanese name, "Cocomon," from
"cocoa," the bean from which chocolate is made.
CRUSADERMON
Group:
Warrior – Level: Mega – Type:
Virus – Attack
Techniques: Spiral Masquerade, Fist of Athena, Scarlet Tempest, Laser
Lattice
Although she professes to be “The
Indifferent Warrior,”
Crusadermon seems anything but, finding beauty in many things, not
least of all
herself, and the acts of destruction that she and her fellow
Royal Knight,
Dynasmon, commit in their
master
Lucemon’s name. Her form is decorated
with deadly, razor sharp
ribbons, which she mentally manipulate, and which can harden to form a
sword-like blade in her hand, neatly coupled with her shield, which she
can
seal around her hand and generate an energy burst delivered with a
shattering
blow. She is commonly seen with what appears to be a simple rose, but
which can
be transformed into a blinding storm of whirling petals at her command.
Additionally,
she is capable of moving her body at exceptionally high speeds, and can
project
an energy net from her palm.
Following the defeat of
Cherubimon,
the Royal Knights began the accumulation of data for Lucemon, serving
him in
exchange for the key to the real world, so that they might rule it. In
their
first clash with the
DigiDestined,
Crusadermon easily defeated
MetalKabutermion,
Zephyrmon,
Korikakumon and
JagerLoewemon,
and then went up against
MagnaGarurumon,
who would prove to be her most frequent opponent in the following
battles.
During the fight, she attempted to stop Dynasmon from unleashing his
Breath of
Wyvern attack, but failed, as the attack devastated the area and
blasted the
DigiDestined to the
Seraphimoon.
In the kids’ absence, the Royal Knights
continued to plunder
the Digital World’s data, and soon came to
Steel Town, where the DigiDestined
had also
landed upon their return to the planet. There, Crusadermon entrapped
Katsuharu and his friends in her Laser
Lattice, and held the DigiDestined off with her Scarlet Tempest as they
took
the captured kids to
Beanstalk Village,
mistakenly believing that they knew the location of the key that would
enable
them to unlock the village’s data and scan it. Crusadermon
threatened to scan
Katsuharu’s
Fractal Code, but the
arrival of the DigiDestined stopped her, and once again she faced off
with
MagnaGarurumon, briefly gaining the upper hand in the battle by
threatening
Koichi. Help from the village’s
Mamemon allowed him to be freed, but
then Dynasmon located the key and scanned the village, allowing the
Knights to
claim victory.
The battles against the Royal Knights continued
apace, with
their next target being the
Village of
Beginnings - where even the combined power of the ten
Legendary
Warriors failed to prevent the village from being scanned
– and then the
Village of Flames,
which Crusadermon scanned after the
SkullSatamon
failed to.
When the Knights targeted
Seraphimon’s
castle, Crusadermon successfully formulated a plan to
shatter the barrier surrounding it, and then engaged MagnaGarurumon,
aided by
Meteormon, in a swordfight. With
Dynasmon’s scanning of the castle, Crusadermon cut down
Meteormon,
reverting him to
Gotsumon, then
departed to scan the
remaining two areas. The DigiDestined reached the first area, the
Autumn Leaf Fair, ahead of them,
managing to evacuate the occupants and scramble the fair’s
Fractal Code, but
when the Knights arrived, Crusadermon destroyed a
Pteramon,
a
Gryphonmon
and a
GranKuwagamon that attempted
to stop them. Crusadermon tangled with
EmperorGreymon,
though she took a few ineffectual hits from the other kids’ snow
catapult in
the process,
then switched opponents,
turning on
MagnaGarurumon. The snow catapult made her attack go wild, and the
resultant
explosion exposed the other kids’ Fractal Code – except for
Koichi,
who could
not explain why this was so. But Crusadermon had the answer –
Koichi had no
Fractal Code because he had no physical form, existing only as a spirit
in the
Digital World. Crusadermon then attempted to hold off both
EmperorGreymon and
MagnaGarurumon as Dynasmon assembled the fragments of the fair’s
code, which
Crusadermon then scanned.
With only one area remaining to be scanned, the
Knights
returned to Lucemon’s side, where Crusadermon restated their
desire for the key
to the human world to him, only to be chastised for her doubts by both
Lucemon
and Dynasmon. In the ensuing battle for the data of
Ophanimon’s
castle, Crusadermon defeated MagnaGarurumon in
hand-to-hand combat,
then scanned the
castle, completing
their destruction of the entire Digital World.
Lucemon was reborn, and the DigiDestined were
forced to
retreat to the
Ophanimoon.
Crusadermon repeatedly requested the key of Lucemon, who promised he
would give
it to them upon the kids’ destruction. Crusadermon pressed the
issue, only to
have Lucemon lash out at the Knights, and to have both him and Dynasmon
chastise her for her doubts once again. Arriving on the moon, the final
battle
between the Knights and EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon began, but
soon, the
deciding factor became apparent – Crusadermon’s doubts had
poisoned Lucemon’s
faith in them, and their strength had decreased as a result. A
point-black
attack from MagnaGarurumon finally defeated Crusadermon, exposing her
Fractal
Code, and Dynasmon then fell to EmperorGreymon. With the Royal Knights
defeated, EmperorGreymon was about to scan their data – until
Lucemon suddenly
appeared and took their data for himself, allowing him to
Digivolve
into his
Chaos
Mode.
Crusadermon first
appears in “It Can’t Be!
Lucemon Reappears.” Her voice is
supplied by Melodee Spevack.
In the original
Japanese version, Crusadermon (there called RhodoKnightmon,
also translatable as "LordKnightmon")
was, in fact, not female, but an exceedingly effeminate male character.
Name: A “crusader” can
refer to one who vigorously works for a cause, but its original use is
a more
fitting one for Crusadermon – one who engages in a holy war.
