Digimon Savers/Characters

Marcus Damon (Daimon Masaru)
"It's fighting time!"

"Voiced by: Soichiro Hoshi (JP), Quinton Flynn (EN)"

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


 * Anti-Hero: Type II.
 * Badass: What other word describes someone capable of punching out Digimon several hundred times his size?
 * Bicep-Polishing Gesture: Done as early as episode 6.
 * The Big Guy
 * Catch Phrase: "It's fighting time!" in the dub.
 * "That's how a man lives!" in the original.
 * Delinquents: A banchou in the original.
 * Determinator
 * Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: His trademark; nearly every time Agumon needs to digivolve will result in this. And a literal example, as he often literally punches them out.
 * On one occasion, he even breaks an unbreakable shield with his bare fist.
 * That's nothing; after all, he punched a god... and it broke.
 * Goggles Do Nothing: It is such a recognizable image in this franchise that it should be noted that he averts this.
 * The Hero
 * Hot-Blooded: Extremely. If he didn't have his partner, he'd probably just keep punching his enemies until he got himself killed.
 * Idiot Hero: Okay, he's not an idiot per se, but he never thinks things through.
 * The McCoy
 * Meaningful Name: Can be read as "daimondai," which sounds like "big problem."
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Thomas' blue.
 * Rookie Red Ranger
 * Younger Than They Look: Sure, he looks more like his age in a school uniform... but out of it, it's hard to believe he's only 14.
 * Rookie Red Ranger
 * Younger Than They Look: Sure, he looks more like his age in a school uniform... but out of it, it's hard to believe he's only 14.

Thomas H. Norstein (Tohma H. Norstein)


"Voiced by: Hirofumi Nojima (JP), Crispin Freeman (EN)"

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


 * Anti-Hero: Type III
 * Attack Pattern Alpha
 * Badass Baritone: Has one (for his age, anyway- he's only 14) in the English dub, courtesy of Crispin Freeman.
 * Badass Bookworm: He's a genius, but he's also Marcus' equal in a fight. Well it's kind of the other way around, everyon at DATS were impressed that Marcus tied with him and said he's beaten Olympic level fighters before.
 * Big Brother Instinct: Towards his half-sister, Relena
 * But Not Too Foreign: Half-Austrian
 * Calling the Old Man Out
 * Crazy Prepared: In one of the early episodes, Masaru accidentally manages to wipe out a portion, if not all of DATS' database. Conveniently enough, Thomas just happens to have the entire database backed up on a flash-drive. He even says "I anticipated that something like this would happen, so I took a back-up".
 * Foe Yay: With Nanami, and how.
 * Foreshadowing:
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Crispin Freeman previously voiced Koichi in Frontier
 * Japanese Sibling Terminology: Weird case as Thomas is half-Japanese, half-Austrian. His half-sister, Relena, is fully Austrian. She addresses him with the very respectful "oniisama" in the Japanese version, but whether she's "actually" calling him that as an endearment or if it's the Translation Convention in effect isn't clarified. The dub adapts this by having Relena call Thomas "Tommy.")
 * The Lancer
 * Missing Mom: hit by a truck and died
 * Mysterious Middle Initial: We never do find out what the "H" stands for...
 * Oedipus Rex
 * Omniglot: Knows 170 languages from around the world, according to Gaomon.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Marcus' red.
 * The Smart Guy
 * Spell My Name with an "S"
 * The Spock
 * Teen Genius
 * Wise Beyond Their Years
 * Younger Than They Look: He's supposed to be 14 years old, but he looks at least 4 years older than his designated age.
 * Teen Genius
 * Wise Beyond Their Years
 * Younger Than They Look: He's supposed to be 14 years old, but he looks at least 4 years older than his designated age.

Yoshino "Yoshi" Fujieda
"This is the worst!"



"Voiced by: Yui Aragaki (JP), Colleen O'Shaughnessey (EN)"

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


 * Action Girl (Eventually in the second arc; see below.)
 * Catch Phrase: See above.
 * Celebrity Voice Actor: In the Japanese version, she was voiced by Yui Aragaki, a famous teen model-turned-actress-turned-singer.
 * The Chick
 * Cool Big Sis: She thinks she's this, but Lalamon disagrees.
 * Drives Like Crazy
 * Faux Action Girl: While Yoshino and her partner are portrayed as long-standing DATS officers, they often didn't really do much when it was fighting time except offer extra targets for the Monster of the Week at first. The feeling that she was inadequate was then made a key part of Yoshino's character and by episode 17 or 18 she does make the jump from Faux Action Girl to a more legit Action Girl.
 * Fiery Redhead
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Her English voice actress played Sora in the first two seasons.
 * The Kirk
 * The Smurfette Principle: Of the human half of the team.
 * Team Mom

Keenan Crier (Noguchi Ikuto)


"Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (JP), Brianne Siddall (EN)"

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


 * And This Is For: After
 * Charles Atlas Superpower: Lets not forget that this is a ten year old kid who, in most episodes is pulling stunts of strength and agility that would turn an Olympic Athlete green with envy. The best representation of this is the episode where he finally meets his parents and he carries his own mother out of their possessed house, making multi-story jumps the entire time. Once again, to reiterate, this kid is TEN YEARS OLD!
 * Fourth Ranger
 * Heel Face Turn
 * Tarzan Speak: Strangely enough, even though Digimon usually speak normally, so being raised by them really shouldn't have affected his speech pattern. He gets better by the end of the show.
 * Let's You and Him Fight: Keenan vs. other humans, until...
 * Raised By Mons

Miki Kurosaki & Megumi Shirakawa


"Miki voiced by: Ai Nagano (JP), Kate Higgins (EN)

Megumi voiced by: Yukiko Hanioka (JP), Stephanie Sheh (EN)"

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


 * Action Girls: Whenever they get off the bridge.
 * Bridge Bunnies
 * Calling Your Attacks: The girls have to call the attacks for their PawnChessmon, who are mute.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: More dub Naruto regulars, Stephanie Sheh as Megumi and Kate Higgins as Miki!
 * Let's Get Dangerous
 * Lovely Angels
 * Meaningful Name/ Color Coded for Your Convenience: The "kuro" in "Kurosaki" means "black," while the "shira" in "Shirakawa" means "white." Bet you can guess which PawnChessmon belongs to which bunny now!
 * Shout-Out: To Futari wa Pretty Cure.

Richard Sampson (Satsuma Rentarou)


The Commander of DATS Japan, giving the three main members their orders.

"Voiced by: Taiten Kusunoki (JP), Jamieson Price (EN)"


 * Badass Longcoat: And how.
 * Badass Baritone: Commanding and damn scary when he raises his voice. Yoshino (and merchandise) even mention his nickname as "Oni no Ikkatsu". (lit. 'The Demon's Thunderous Roar')
 * The Captain
 * Da Chief: The team (and us viewers) found out the hard way how loud he is when you screw up royally. Used for comedic effect in Episode 20.
 * Cool Shades: Never once takes them off. Ever. Not even in the dark.
 * Heroic Sacrifice: At least in intent, though it didn't result in his death. He was out of the way for quite a while, though.
 * Let's Get Dangerous
 * The Stoic
 * Team Dad

Homer Yushima (Yushima Hiroshi)


A mysterious old man who gave Marcus his Digivice and some advice several times throughout the series.

"Voiced by: Yuuichi Yagashima (JP), Kirk Thornton (EN)"


 * Badass Grandpa: He is, to date, the oldest human in a Digimon series to own a Digivice of some kind and have a Digimon partner.
 * Cool Old Guy
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Kirk Thornton, who has appeared in every Digimon dub in some form, most notably as Gabumon and Mummymon.
 * Let's Get Dangerous

Spencer Damon (Daimon Suguru)


"Voiced by: Eiji Takemoto (JP), Jeff Nimoy (EN)"

The legacy of Dr. Spencer Damon is felt throughout the series, even though he does not appear in it personally at first. He is Marcus's father, and a member of the expedition to the Digital World. When the group was forced to escape back to the human world, he stayed behind to make sure they could escape, and for a while, it was unknown what happened to him. That is, until the answers were revealed by the Digimon called Mercurimon. Spencer had remained back in the Digital World in order to seek out the "god" of the Digital World named King Drasil. Before that, however, he created the Digivice, and sent the data for it to the human world along with Kudamon and Kamemon. After making a deal with Mercurimon to preserve the peace of both worlds, he departed.


 * Badass Bookworm: He was recruited into the original Digital World exploration team due to his scientific knowledge, and he was the original designer of the Digivice. He survived in the Digital World with his bare hands and the power of Digisoul/DNA charge.
 * Big Good
 * Disappeared Dad
 * Genius Bruiser
 * Hot-Blooded/ Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: It runs in the family, though Suguru isn't above resolving things peacefully before the punching starts. To get the whole point across, he beat Saber Leomon with his bare hands when the teams Digimon couldn't even scratch him.
 * Meaningful Name: 大門 (Dai Mon means "Great Gate" in Japanese, and he was a member of the first Digital World expedition.)
 * The Messiah: Lamarck Was Right?
 * Mysterious Parent
 * Mysterious Parent

Agumon


"Voiced by: Taiki Matsuno (JP), Brian Beacock (EN)"

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

His digivolutions are as follows:
 * In-Training: Koromon, a round, pink mon, with long ears, red eyes, and sharp teeth. Blows bubbles.
 * Rookie: Agumon, his default form. Note that he is different from his Digimon Adventure counterpart due to a pair of red wristbands on his hands and is considerably large.
 * Champion: GeoGreymon. Essentially Agumon, but proper dinosaur size, lots of spikes, a carapace on its head, and a massive fire attack.
 * Ultimate: RizeGreymon. GeoGreymon, with added mecha-armor, red hair, wings, and a giant revolver arm.

 * Bishonen Line: Shinegreymon
 * Death Glare: After
 * Everything's Better with Dinosaurs
 * Expy: to the original Agumon and its digivolution line.
 * Fan Nickname: Takatomon, due to having the same English voice actor as Takato
 * Incendiary Exponent: ShineGreymon Burst Mode full stop.
 * Informed Ability: The Geo Grey Sword is supposed to be a powerful weapon when ShineGreymon first whips it out to defeat Bio Darkdramon. After that, it's sole purpose is to be pulled out, prove completely useless against the Monster of the Week and then tossed aside so that ShineGreymon's Burst Mode can do the real fighting.
 * Playing with Fire
 * Power Gives You Wings: ShineGreymon already had wings, but going into burst mode turns them into wings of fire.
 * Theme Naming: RizeGreymon is followed by ShineGreymon.
 * The Power of the Sun: ShineGreymon gathers solar energy for its special attack, and its Burst Mode is full-on powered by the sun.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Fried eggs.
 * Weapon of Choice
 * Arm Cannon: RizeGreymon
 * Cool Sword: ShineGreymon's GeoGrey Sword.
 * Revolvers Are Just Better: RizeGreymon
 * Revolvers Are Just Better: RizeGreymon

Gaomon
"Sir, yes Sir!"

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

"Voiced by: Kazuya Nakai (JP), Skip Stellrecht (EN)"

His digivolutions are as follows:

"Voiced by: Yukana (JP), Dorothy Fahn (EN)"

Her digivolutions are as follows:
 * In-Training: Budmon, a green mon with a leaf and three purple thorns.

 * Burst Mode: Rosemon turns white and gains a pink rosary of floating jewels.


 * Bishojo Line: As you may have guessed.
 * Fan Service: Rosemon
 * Faux Action Girl: Gets better as Yoshino does. Lampshaded in the "Tokuten Eizou" special (essentially a Clip Show with commentary from the main three Digimon), with both Agumon and Gaomon noting that Lalamon was basically useless before she became Lilamon.
 * Gainaxing: Rosemon, with more fanservice than the rest of the series combined.
 * Green Thumb
 * Lady of War: Rosemon only. She's usually pretty silly, otherwise.
 * Ms. Fanservice: As Rosemon, not only her transformation shows her naked, but also her attack Forbidden Temptation and her breasts have a tendency of "jump" when she fights.
 * Plant Aliens
 * Shipper on Deck: (In episode 32 she as Rosemon, tries to get Yoshino to go on a date with Ivan to the mall)
 * Shout-Out/Expy: Sunflowmon resembles the Pokémon Sunflora, astonishingly enough, but what sells it is that her attack is Sunshine Beam. Which is pretty similar to Pokémon's Solarbeam.
 * Her evolution line is a parallel to the Palmon line, with Palmon and Togemon switching places (chubby plant-flower-fairy instead of flower-chubby plant-fairy). Unsurprising as both reach the same Mega form.
 * And additional shout out occurs in the twenty-minute "movie" in which Lalamon shows that she knows kung fu and proceeds to beat up mooks while doing Bruce Lee imitations and wielding nun-chucks made out of sausages.
 * The Smurfette Principle: Of the Digimon half of the team.
 * Whip It Good: As Rosemon.

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


 * Call a Smeerp a Rabbit: Can't the designers tell an owl from a falcon?
 * Though in his defense, Falcomon's original design looked a lot more like a falcon than his current one.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: It'll be noticeable by the first digivolution that it's Steve Blum.
 * While Japanese Zatch Bell fans are likely to recognize Chie Kujiro as Coral Q.
 * Ninja: Is it any wonder he and Keenan recruit Ninjamon later on?
 * Owl Be Damned: Despite the name.
 * Polly Wants a Microphone
 * Ravens and Crows: Yatagaramon and Ravemon.

PawnChessmon Black & White

 * Let's Get Dangerous

 * Took a Level In Badass
 * Turtle Power
 * The Voiceless: Most of the time.

BanchoLeomon

 * Badass Longcoat
 * Heroic Sacrifice

Sarah Damon (Daimon Sayuri)


"Voiced by: Mariko Kouda (JP), Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (EN)"

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


 * Hot Mom: So much that Thomas gets a crush on her. Marcus wasn't impressed.
 * Open-Minded Parent
 * Relationship Voice Actor: Melissa Fahn and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn played another mother/daughter team in Tamers, Rika and Rumiko Nonaka
 * Team Mom: Very friendly to the entire DATS team, and even hosts a dinner for them!

Kristy Damon (Daimon Chika)


"Voiced by: Kokoro Kikuchi (JP), Melissa Fahn (EN)"

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


 * Annoying Younger Sibling
 * I Know You Are in There Somewhere Fight: Fails one of these with Garudamon.
 * Japanese Sibling Terminology: Calls her brother "Masaru-niichan"
 * Playing Against Type: Compare Kristy's personality to that of Rika's personality or Gaz's personality and you'll see a big difference.
 * Relationship Voice Actor: To Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's Sarah.

Biyomon (Piyomon)
"Voiced by: Haruhi Terada (JP), Terrence Stone (EN)"


 * Brainwashed and Crazy
 * Heroic Sacrifice: A really dumb one, but still...Though he isn't Killed Off for Real.
 * Playing with Fire: As Garudamon.
 * Polly Wants a Microphone
 * The Promise
 * Ridiculously Cute Critter: As Puwamon, his baby form, which can best be described as a little ball of feathers with big Puppy Dog Eyes.

Akihiro Kurata
"It's SHOWTIME!"



A cowardly scientist who used to work with Satsuma, Yushima, Suguru, and Ikuto's parents, and accompanied them on the first expedition into the Digital World. His experiences and activities there were less than positive. Several years later, he's somehow curried the favour of the politicians in charge of DATS and uses this influence to first accompany the team into the Digital World, then when that doesn't go quite as planned, to convince the government that both Digimon and DATS are a threat and to have them wiped out and arrested respectively. Things continue to go pear-shaped from there. As the series goes on, he's shown to have no regard for human life either, and in fact he's real plan with the data he took from the Digital World was to revive a powerful digimon called Belphemon and use him to Take Over the World.

"Voiced by: Masami Kikuchi (JP), Brian Palermo (EN)"


 * Absent-Minded Professor: A bit of one when first introduced, particularly when he's around digimon, since he has "allergies" towards them. Of course, this demeanor is a ruse.
 * Ax Crazy
 * Big Bad:
 * Catch Phrase: The Gratuitous English line above.
 * Despotism Justifies the Means: His ultimate plan.
 * Dirty Coward: He's a genocidal monster, but when the tables turn on him, he reacts with complete fear. In the end
 * Disk One Final Boss: After he's delt with, the heroes then have to deal with the justifiably infuriated digital God his actions convinced to Kill All Humans.
 * Fantastic Racism: Against Digimon.
 * Faux Affably Evil: His humorous quirks only emphasize how he is easily the most monstrous villain of any Digimon canon.
 * Four Eyes, Zero Soul
 * Humans Are the Real Monsters: Well he most certainly is, and because of it, the Digimon believe this about all humans.
 * Hypocrite: Okay Kurata, you hate Digimon. So how come so many of your plans and experiments rely on Digimon, your three lackeys can transform into Digimon, and you even merge with a Digimon! Shouldn't you not be able to stand it? Thomas even calls him on this!
 * He's much worse than that; he believes digimon are dangerous beasts because a Lynxmon had previously attacked him, except that the audience can see that the digimon had only attacked him after he had shot at it. Additionally Kurata reveals that he had invaded and committed genocide on the Digital world, while accusing the Digimon of eventually attacking the Real World due to their vicious nature!
 * He never cared about the damage done by Digimon, he always had plans to use Belphemon to rule the human world, who coincidentally, does more damage in his rampage then all the earlier Digimon COMBINED. Really, his attitude can be summed up as It's All About Me.
 * Knight of Cerebus
 * Mad Scientist
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Oh Crap:
 * Omnicidal Maniac: He wishes to kill all Digimon. There's a reason fans consider him worse than Myotismon...
 * This was his initial goal but he eventually changes his mind when he realizes Digimon can be controlled. He still keeps up the act however as part of his bid to get the government on his side, who end up funding his Take Over the World scheme.
 * One-Winged Angel:
 * Playing Against Type: This is Tenchi and Keiichi, folks. Not to mention Digimon's own beloved Jou, Demon, Dolphin, and freakin' Neemon.
 * You'd feel more home if you compare him to Tales of Rebirth's Saleh, whose willingness to do evil is ramped Up to Eleven
 * Scary Shiny Glasses
 * Smug Snake: Most notably shown when he mocks Suguru even when the man stayed behind to allow the rest of the team to escape.
 * The Sociopath
 * Ungrateful Bastard: Towards Spencer Damon.
 * Villainous Breakdown: "DAIMON! DAIMON! DAIMON! DAAAAIMOOOOON!"
 * Xanatos Speed Chess: Very good at this.
