Contents

[edit] Appearance

This Agumon has a slightly different design to the original Agumon in Digimon Adventure. He has more teeth, longer claws, wider forearms and red training bracers. Where Digimon Adventure's Agumon had well-defined nostrils, this Agumon has just two oval-shaped holes on the front of his muzzle. He is also much larger than previous Agumon, being almost as tall as a human adolescent.

[edit] Description

Agumon adores his partner Masaru, and considers himself to be "Masaru's student". He even refers to Masaru as his "aniki", which in the Japanese Yakuza means "boss" rather than its usual term to mean "big brother.".

Being the main digimon character in the series, Agumon is always the first amongst the partner digimon to reach a new level. Unlike the other partner digimon in Digimon Savers, Agumon was easily accepted into Masaru's family when he was discovered, and even gets given free reign of the Daimon household [1].

In the final episode, Masaru's Digisoul gives Agumon a new appearance. An outline of a bird surrounds him, and he is given fiery bird-like wings and a bird-like tail. Whether this is a super charge of Masaru's Digisoul, or a new digivolution stage is unknown.

Attacks

  • Pepper Breath (Baby Flame): Agumon shoots an orange fireball of varying strength from his mouth.
  • Baby Burner: This attack uses a more powerful stream of fire than Pepper Breath.


[edit] Other forms

The name "Agumon" refers only to the Rookie form of this Digimon. Throughout the series, Agumon gains the ability to Digivolve into a number of more powerful forms, each with a different name and special attack. However, the Rookie level is his preferred one and the one he spends most of his time in.

[edit] Koromon

Koromon (コロモン)
Koromon (コロモン)

Koromon is Agumon's In-Training form. The name "Koromon" derives from the Japanese word "Korokoro", meaning “something small, round, and rolling.” He is a pink, ball-shaped Digimon with floppy ears, bright-red eyes and sharp teeth. He is approximately a foot tall.

Agumon appears once in this form during the fight against Belphemon.

Attacks

  • Bubble Blow (Acid Bubbles): - Fires harmless pink bubbles from his mouth.

[edit] Agumon Burst Mode

Agumon Burst Mode was only seen against Yggdrasil, in this form both Agumon and Masaru Daimon were able to destroy Yggdrasil in its true form. Like ShineGreymon Burst Mode he glows a fiery red.

[edit] GeoGreymon

GeoGreymon (ジオグレイモン)

GeoGreymon is Agumon's Champion level form. GeoGreymon's appearance is similar to Greymon, but with red markings on the sides of his helmet and arms, a more well-defined chest, and different body markings. GeoGreymon first appears during Agumon and Masaru's fight against a large Kokatorimon. This is when Masaru activated his Digi-Soul for the first time. Masaru was given his Digivice iC, and with it, he was able to help Agumon digivolve into GeoGreymon for the first time.

Attacks

  • Mega Flame: A steady stream of flames is spewed forth from GeoGreymon's mouth.
  • Mega Burst: GeoGreymon forcefully ejects a powerful blast of energy from his mouth.
  • Horn Impulse: A powerful, high-speed smash with his horn.

[edit] RiseGreymon

RiseGreymon (ライズグレイモン)
RiseGreymon (ライズグレイモン)

RiseGreymon is Agumon's Ultimate form. RiseGreymon first appears during the fight against Garudamon. Masaru's own frustration over the uneasiness of his friends and family caused him to evoke the power GeoGreymon needed to digivolve into RiseGreymon[2].

Attacks

  • Trident Revolver: RiseGreymon fires three Chrome Digizoid bullets from his revolver.
  • Rising Destroyer: RiseGreymon fires a barrage of beams from the six guns on his wings and the two on his chest.
  • Solid Strike: RiseGreymon charges at his enemies using his revolver to deliver a finishing blow.

[edit] ShineGreymon

ShineGreymon (シャイングレイモン)
ShineGreymon (シャイングレイモン)

ShineGreymon is Agumon's Mega form. ShineGreymon is first seen during the fight against Kuruta's group of BioDigimon. Masaru's Digisoul super-powered RiseGreymon, causing a silhouette of ShineGreymon to appear around RiseGreymon. ShineGreymon was properly introduced in the next episode, along with MirageGaogamon and Rosemon after the Digimon Savers team learns how to harness this new power.

Attacks

  • Glorious Burst: ShineGreymon spreads his enormous wings and fires the light energy which he has concentrated to the utmost limit.
  • Shining Blast: ShineGreymon uses the light shining from his wings to mow down the enemy.
  • GeoGrey Sword: ShineGreymon creates a giant sword made from pure light energy and slashes his opponent.

[edit] ShineGreymon Burst Mode

ShineGreymon Burst Mode
ShineGreymon Burst Mode

This is the Burst Digivolved form of ShineGreymon. The first time ShineGreymon changed mode, it was into Ruin Mode, a corrupted version of the true Burst Mode. This occurred during ShineGreymon's battle with MirageGaogamon, when Masaru's dark emotions caused ShineGreymon to go through Burst Digivolution. ShineGreymon Ruin Mode went out of control until it regressed back to a Digi-Egg (which later hatches into Agumon's In-Training form, Koromon)

Masaru manages to activate ShineGreymon's Burst Mode again later in the battle against Belphemon, this time, ShineGreymon properly transforms into his Burst Mode and manages to defeat Belphemon. Masaru activates his Digi-Soul again during the DATS team's first encounter with the Royal Knights, allowing ShineGreymon to enter his Burst Mode again. However, this time, he is defeated by Gallantmon.

Attacks

  • Final Shining Burst: ShineGreymon Burst Mode uses every last bit of his power to create a great explosion.
  • Corona Blaze Sword: ShineGreymon Burst Mode combines his flame shield and sword into a new, far more powerful sword.
  • Torrid Weiss: ShineGreymon Burst Mode repeatedly fires scorching hot flame-bullets.
  • Blaze Chain: ShineGreymon Burst Mode turns his sword and shield into a chain and wraps it around the enemy. He then throws his partner Masaru Daimon so Masaru can punch the enemy digimon.
  • Corrupted Blade: This attack was used by ShineGreymon Ruin Mode. It involves attacking with a giant energy blade.
