Line 164:
=== Juri Katou ''(Jeri Kato)'' ===
 
[[File:jeri_2494Mueco 1444.gif|frame]]
 
A sweet girl who Takato has a crush on. Has issues with her mother {{spoiler|she lives with her step-mom}}. Ends up in the end of [[Break the Cutie|a lot of bad luck]]. You can see where this is going.
Line 196:
* [[Talking to Himself|Talking To Herself]]: With the D-Reaper, naturally.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Girly Girl to Ruki's Tomboy.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Brutally subverted. Good lord the girl ''tries so hard.'' She wants to toughen up to be worthy of Leomon and it slowly happens. Then it all goes to hell in a hand basket at... [[It Was His Sled|well...]]
** {{spoiler|It FINALLY ends up working for her in the end when she stands up to the D-Reaper on her own ''without Leomon OR Takato there'' and choses to [[Screw Destiny]] and make her own fate. Of course, she and Calumon still need to be rescued in the end...but so does everyone, actually.}}
 
Line 245:
[[File:RyoDigimon_3434.png|frame]]
 
A mysterious Digimon tamer and former champion of the card game, who has some sort of rivalry with Rika. To everyone outside of Japan, he seemed to [[Canon Immigrant|come pretty much]] [[Digimon WonderAdventure: SwanAnode SeriesCathode Tamer|out of]] [[No Export for You|nowhere]].
 
{{quote|Voiced by: [[Junichi Kanemaru]] (JP), [[Steve Staley]] (EN)}}
----
* [[All There in the Manual]]: His entire backstory, including why he was in the ''Tamers'' canon to begin with, was told through [[Digimon WonderAdventure: SwanAnode SeriesCathode Tamer|a series of four Bandai WonderSwan games]]. For the sake of reference, a summary of said games can be found [[Digimon (Franchise)/Wonder Swan Games/Synopsis|here]].
** [[No Export for You]]: None of these games were released in the west, meaning that's one ''long'' manual no-one got to read.<br />*** Because of this, Chris McFeely of ''The Digimon Encyclopedia'' helped create a comic explaining Ryo's origins for Western fans. "Ryo's Story" appeared in ''Wickid'' magazine (the UK Fox Kid's magazine) issue #43, on September 28th, 2003.
* [[The Ace]]
Line 515:
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Sidekick]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Death Is Cheap]]: This series as a whole averts the normal Digimon usage of the trope, and his death is treated very seriously and is very permanent as a result.}}
* [[Dub -Induced Plot Hole]]: The dub fumbles his {{spoiler|last words a bit - they were changed in his death scene and according flashbacks, but instances of Juri quoting them herself later acted as though they weren't modified.}}
* [[Fluffy Tamer]]: Juri's got this dynamic with him.
* [[Gentle Giant]]
Line 661:
* [[Hellish Pupils]]: Somewhat naturally for Beelzemon, but it was more obvious when he was angry.
* [[Hero-Killer]]: {{spoiler|poor Leomon}}
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: He felt this way for a long time due to his Tamers treating him like a possession. It isn't until Jeri convinces Gallantmon to spare him, that he drops this trope.
* [[The Imp]]: Well, duh...
* [[It's All My Fault]]: Damn right it was.
Line 683:
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: As Beelzemon. His eyes turned green in Blast Mode as a sign of his [[Heel Face Turn]].
* [[Screwy Squirrel]]: As Impmon.
** [[CompletelyComically Missing the Point|He looks more like a cat than anything else...]]
* [[Take My Hand]]: Fails this with Jeri, as she is reminded of {{spoiler|Leomon, whom he killed.}}
** In the manga version of that scene, Jeri ''attempts'' to take his hand, but he is cut down before she can.
* [[That Man Is Dead]]: Impmon is nuttin' more than a bad memory, an' don't you fergeddit!
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: As Impmon, he's harmless, even towards the main Digimon in their Rookie forms. When he becomes Beelzemon, oh boy...
* [[Too Many Belts]]: Beelzemon
* [[Villainous Glutton]]: Beelzemon is, within the Digimon franchise, the Demon Lord associated with gluttony. Namely in Tamers, his goal, at least up until his [[Heel Face Turn]], becomes that of killing strong opponents to devour their data and increase his own power.
Line 957:
 
A giant two-headed turtle and one of the four Holy Beasts. For all the [[Darker and Edgier]] of the series, he brings a little bit of comic relief. At least, one head does.
 
----
* [[TalkingInner to ThemselfDialogue]]: one head does most of the talking, including on behalf of the other.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: As early as Ebonwumon's second line, he's giving out nicknames.
* [[Talking to Themself]]: one head does most of the talking, including on behalf of the other.
* [[Turtle Power]]
* [[Turtle Island]]
Line 965:
 
----
 
 
== The D-Reaper / True Enemy ==
Line 977 ⟶ 976:
----
* [[Adaptive Ability]]
* [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: The only artificial intelligence to remain a villain the whole series. Unlike all the others, it's doing exactly what it was created to do, just on a larger scale than its creators intended.
* [[Big Bad]]: Of the final arc, and of the entire series due to being at the heart of the conflict between the Digital and human worlds.
* [[Complete Monster]]: The part of D-Reaper that invades Earth, and all of it's agents. Particularly J-Reaper.
Line 996 ⟶ 995:
* [[Powered by a Forsaken Child]]: ''Literally''.
* [[Mind Rape]]: What the thing does to Jeri to get more power.
* [[Non-Standard Character Design]]: Invoked by Chiaki J. Konaka, the head writer for a show. He had Kenji Watanabe (the originator of ''Digimon''), Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru (the human character designer), and [[Shinji Aramaki]] (the CGI designer) have a competition with each other while designing this thing for the expressed purpose of getting this. And it worked; there's certainly never been anything like this before or after it.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]
* [[Talking to Himself]]: With Jeri, naturally. That was kind of the point.
