[edit] Appearance
This Agumon has a slightly different design to the original Agumon in Digimon Adventure. He is taller, with more teeth, longer claws, wider forearms and red training bracers. Where Digimon Adventure's Agumon had well-defined nostrils and pectoral muscles, this Agumon has just two oval-shaped holes on the front of his muzzle and a flat chest. He is also much larger than previous Agumon, being almost as tall as a human adolescent.
A mistake can be seen occasionally where he has the original number of teeth of an Agumon.
[edit] Description
Agumon adores his partner Marcus, and considers himself to be "Marcus's employee" (follower in the original). He even refers to Marcus as his "Boss" ("Aniki" in original, which has the same connotations).
In the first episode of the English dub, he is referred to by the code-name of Raptor-1 by DATS.
This Agumon in particular holds true to the given description of a common Agumon being somewhat aggressive.
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 Data Squad, Agumon was easily accepted into Marcus' family when he was discovered, and is even given free reign of the Damon household [1].
In the final episode, Marcus' DNA gives Agumon a new appearance. An outline of a dragon surrounds him, and he is given fiery bird-like wings and a dragon-like tail. In addition, Marcus can ride him, using straps attached to Agumon's wristbands to control his movements. Whether this is a super charge of Marcus' DNA or a new digivolution stage is unknown. Fans like to refer to him as "Agumon Burst Mode".
Attacks
- Pepper Breath (Baby Flame): Agumon shoots an orange fireball of varying strength from his mouth.
- Spitfire Blast (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] KoromonThis section refers to the Koromon featured in Digimon Data Squad. For the Koromon in Digimon Adventure/02, see Agumon.
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 after hatching and attempts to eat Masaru's head. Attacks

[edit] "Agumon Burst Mode"This unnamed form is only seen against Yggdrasil, using which Agumon and Masaru Daimon were able to destroy Yggdrasil in its true form. Like ShineGreymon Burst Mode, he glows a fiery red. He also grows a fiery bird-like tail and wings. Though no official name has been released, it is documented here as "Agumon Burst Mode" due to its aura akin to ShineGreymon Burst Mode's. |
[edit] GeoGreymonGeoGreymon 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, a longer tail, 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. Geogreymon is often replaced by one of his digivolved forms so this form is used less and less in battle. His spirit is transferred into the Geogreysword in combination with Masaru Daimon's DNA to aid his mega form ShineGreymon. Attacks
|
[edit] RizeGreymonRizeGreymon 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]. RizeGreymon is the Data Squad's equivalent of Tai's MetalGreymon, featuring similar aspects. Attacks
|
[edit] ShineGreymonShineGreymon is Agumon's Mega form. ShineGreymon is first seen during the fight against Kurata's group of BioDigimon. Marcus' DNA super-powered RizeGreymon, 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 Data Squad team learns how to harness this new power. ShineGreymon is crucial in Belphemon's defeat and Akihiro Kurata's downfall. He wields the Geogrey sword (similar to WarGreymon's Dramon Destroyers) Attacks
|
[edit] ShineGreymon Ruin ModeShineGreymon Ruin Mode is said to be the corrupted form of his Burst Mode. 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). Attacks
|
[edit] ShineGreymon Burst ModeShineGreymon Burst Mode is the Burst Digivolved form of ShineGreymon. Masaru manages to activate ShineGreymon's true 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. He appeared later on facing the Royal Knight Craniummon in a one on one duel and was losing until the rest of the DATS arrived to jointly defeat the Knight. He last appeared in the final confrontation against Yggdrasil along with the other DATS Digimon. Attacks
