Gigimon

Gigimon (ギギモン)

Gigimon is Guilmon’s In-Training form. The name “Gigimon” comes from the Japanese word “gigi”, meaning doubt. Gigimon appeared when Guilmon Degenerated to Gigimon after the D-Reaper was defeated and was forced to return to the Digital World. “Gigi” also means teeth in Indonesian / Malay.

Attacks:

• Hot Bite: Bites the opponent with fiery teeth.

Growlmon

(Growlmon Growmon)

Growlmon is the Digivolved form of Guilmon. Guilmon first Digivolved to Growlmon during his fight against Devidramon. In this new form, Growlmon fought a fierce battle against the dark dragon and ultimately destroyed him. As he is in this form, he is also able to retain the personaility as Guilmon. At the beginning of episode 9, Growlmon begins to cry as Takato stands before him afraid he will be eaten. But in the end, Takato realizes that he is the same lovable digimon if not a bit bigger.

Afterwards, Growlmon discovered that he wasn’t able to regress. Takato tried various methods to make Growlmon use up his “surplus” energy, but failed. Growlmon eventually did De-Digivolve naturally after observing a rainbow with Takato. Further along the series, after a few times of digivolution, Guilmon eventually learns how to de-digivolve.

Attacks:

• Pyro Blaster (Exhaust Flame): Growlmon shoots a powerful fire ball from his mouth.
• Dragon Slash (Plasma Blade): Growlmon charges the blades on his arms with energy and slashes his enemies.

WarGrowlmon

WarGrowlmon (メガログラウモン MegaloGrowmon)

WarGrowlmon is Guilmon’s Ultimate form. His appearance echos MetalGreymon’s from Digimon Adventure, and his name is shared with WarGreymon. WarGrowlmon first appeared when Mihiramon of the Devas appeared. Since Mihiramon was so much stronger than other Digimon, Takato had to use a Blue Card. Swiping this card allowed Growlmon to Digivolve into WarGrowlmon, who was then able to defeat Mihiramon. Growlmon later digivolved again to defeat the Devas Indramon and Vikaralamon in the real world and to fight both Beelzemon and Zhuqiaomon in the Digital World. WarGrowlmon also fought against the D-Reaper when the tamers returned from the digital world, due to their temporary inability to bio-merge.

The first few times Growlmon Digivolved into WarGrowlmon, he and Takato were linked mentally. Takato felt pain every time WarGrowlmon was hit and declared the “Atomic Blaster” attack at the same time his Digimon was about to use the attack.

Attacks:

• Atomic Blaster: Fires a strong energy beam from the two cannons on his chest.
• Radiation Blade (Double Edge): He powers up the blades on his arms and fires them at the enemy.
• Trinity Burst: In this combined attack with Taomon and Rapidmon, WarGrowlmon turns into a crystal-like form, then a beam of energy, and then he combines with the other two (also in the form of energy beams at this point) into an energy arrow that resembles a Phoenix.

Megidramon

Megidramon

Megidramon is a Mega Digimon whose name comes from the word “Megiddo“, the place where Christians believe the final battle between good and evil will take place; and “dramon”, meaning “dragon monster”.

The death of Leomon at the hands of Beelzemon caused Takato to become enraged with blood lust, and this caused Guilmon to turn into Megidramon. He later became horrified by Guilmon’s transformation (which also destroyed his D-Arc). In this form the full destructive power of the Digital Hazard is released, which begins to shake apart the Digital World (in other words, he could destroy the digital world merely by existing).

At first, Megidramon seemed to have the upper hand against Beelzemon and attempted to devour him. However, Beelzemon eventually won the battle by absorbing Makuramon’s data and beating Megidramon unconscious. Takato cried, knelt down by the unconscious Megidramon who de-digivolved to Guilmon and wished that they could fight Beelzemon together as it should be. This resulted in him Biomerging with Guilmon to become Gallantmon, who then defeated but chose to spare Beelzemon. Takato then received a golden D-Power with digicode written around the circular screen afterwards, which could now be used to Biomerge Digivolve with Guilmon to become Gallantmon.

Attacks

• Meggiddo Flame
• Hell Howling

Gallantmon

Gallantmon (デュークモン Dukemon)

Gallantmon is the true Mega form of Guilmon. Gallantmon was the first Biomerged Digimon to appear. Gallantmon is armed with the holy lance Gram and the shield Aegis. Gallantmon first appeared when Takato Biomerged with Guilmon in order to fight Beelzemon. In this new form, Gallantmon was able to defeat Beelzemon. Gallantmon’s power was later proven to be a major asset in the battle against the D-Reaper. Gallantmon played a key role in confronting the D-Reaper and in obtaining the ARMS “Grani” as his mode of transportation.

In the original Japanese, Gallantmon possessed a speech pattern remniscent of a humble knight serving under a lord, always referring to himself as “I, Dukemon,…”. This isn’t present in the dub but applies to all Japanese incarnations of Gallantmon.

Attacks

• Lightning Joust (Royal Saber): Gallantmon shoots out energy at the opponent from his Gram Lance.
• Shield of the Just (Final Elysium / Final Purification): Gallantmon fires an energy beam from his Aegis Shield.
• Dragon Driver: A joint attack with Grani - the two drive themselves right into their opponent.
• Yuggoth Blaster: A joint attack with Grani - a blue tri-bolo energy attack that shoots from Grani’s mouth.
• Lightning Charge (Lightning Lance): Gallantmon holds up his lance and a giant surge of lightning attack all things around him good and evil.

Gallantmon Crimson Mode

Gallantmon Crimson Mode

Gallantmon Crimson Mode is the mode-changed form of Gallantmon. Gallantmon Crimson Mode appeared towards the end of Digimon Tamers. After Gallantmon had found himself overwhelmed in his battle against the D-Reaper, Grani, in a final act, gave the last of his power to Gallantmon triggering a mode change. In this form, Gallantmon’s armor is coated with crimson metallic and his cape is replaced by angelic wings. As his arsenal, Gallantmon Crimson Mode is armed with the holy sword Blutgang and the celestial spear Gungnir. With this newfound power, Gallantmon Crimson Mode was able to defeat the D-Reaper’s Agent-01.

Gallantmon assumes this form again during the fight against the Parasimon in which he uses his Crimson Light attack to destroy all of the Parasimon in one shot.

Attacks

• Crimson Light (Quo Vadis): Gallantmon Crimson Mode releases every ounce of his power, casting his enemies into oblivion.
• Final Justice (Final Elysian): He obliterates his adversaries with the full might of his Gungnir.
• Royal Saber (Invincible Sword): Severs an opponent with the full might of his Blutga
