AncientWisemon is an Ancient Mutant Digimon whose name is derived from "Ancient" and "Magic" (วิ-เสด "Wiset"?), and whose design is derived from Zhuge Liang. It possesses the attribute of "Steel", and is one of the legendary Ancient Warriors that saved the ancient Digital World. It is the wisest being in the Digital World, due to the Akashic Records which record all of the excellent intellects of ancient times, and it is said that there is nothing which AncientWisemon doesn't know. It possesses the knowledge of the distant past, and can also forecast the distant future. Furthermore, it is said that AncientWisemon's mirror body is connected to the spirit world. Its abilities were given to the "Mutant" types of Digimon.[1] The kanji on its brooches read Kongming (孔明 Kou Min?), the courtesy name of Zhuge Liang.

Sakkakumon is a Mutant Digimon whose Japanese name and design are derived from the mythologoical Sephirot, and whose English name is derived from "Hallucination" (錯覚 Sakkaku?). It is sometimes referred to as "Sephirothmon" in American Bandai products. It is the Beast form of the Legendary Warrior of Steel, using power inherited from AncientWisemon. Each of its ten spheres corresponds to one of the ten elements, and its central Tiferet sphere bears the Crest of Light while its topmost Keter sphere bears the Zero Unit.

Attacks

  • Rumble Blend #1-10: When attacked with an elemental attack, he rearranges his body to fire the attack right back at the opponent. This attack only works if he has trapped the opponent inside of him and observed the opponent's attacks or if he has the fractal code of a digimon with the same element as the attack.[4]
  • Rain of Steel: Each of his spheres break apart and form a circle with the "information" sphere in the middle and giant metal spikes rain down from the glowing sphere.
  • Coat of Iron: Each of his spheres transforms in to large metallic orbs and pummels the enemy.
  • Metallic Reflector: Projects energy beams from the ten spheres at once.


[edit] Trivia

In the Portuguese and German versions, the Warriors of Steel are called "Warriors of Gold" (Guerreiros do Ouro) and "the Digi-Warriors of Gold" (die Digi-Krieger des Goldes) respectively. The term has also been used in some English-language Bandai products, notably the D-Tector line of handheld games.
