Angemon
is the Champion form of Patamon. Angemon is a six-winged angel dressed
in white and blue clothing. Like many other humanoid-like Digimon, such
as Angewomon, Kazemon, and Silphymon; his eyes are covered by his
helmet and are never seen, giving him the appearance of a blind
prophet. In Digimon Adventure-Adventure 02, he is voiced by Dave Mallow
(US) and Miwa Matsumoto (Japan).
Angemon
appears for the first time during the final fight against Devimon.
Devimon had already defeated the other six DigiDestined and their
partner Digimon, and when he attempted to grab T.K., Patamon jumped in
front of T.K. and finally Digivolved into his Champion form Angemon. In
a final desperate attempt to defeat Devimon, Angemon sacrificed
himself. Angemon was reborn as a Digi-Egg, eventually hatching to
become Patamon again.
The
second appearance of Angemon occurred in the Real World during the
battle between Myotismon and WereGarurumon, in which he forces the
former to retreat in a seeming moment of victory when he joins the
battle.
Angemon
is a very powerful Champion Digimon - his primary attack, the Hand of
Fate (Japanese: Heaven's Knuckle) is very effective against inherently
evil Virus-type Digimon of the Champion and Ultimate levels such as
Devimon (although when Devimon was empowered with several black gears,
a suicidal digivice-augmented Hand of Fate was required) and Myotismon.
Even Myotismon (an Ultimate level Digimon) was unable to dissipate it,
(he had been able to dissipate Ultimate-level attacks from the other
Digidestined's Digimon) and Phantomon (another Ultimate Digimon) was
completely destroyed by just a glancing blow. Furthermore, in the
Digimon Adventure 02 movie, Diaboromon Strikes Back, he and Angewomon
were successful in holding back Diaboromon, a Mega level, Omnimon
impaled Diaboromon before he appeared in the Real World as
Armageddemon. Angemon is unable to defeat Mega level digimon - namely
the Dark Masters (although he was able to hold off Piedmon briefly),
VenomMyotismon and BlackWarGreymon - nor Ultimate level Digimon who are
not inherently evil or are "fake" digimon made from control spires by
Arukenimon (curiously, despite the darkness inherent in the spires
themselves), his attacks useless or nearly so against them.
He
appeared during Digimon Hurricane Landing!!/Transcendent Evolution!!
The Golden Digimentals|Transcendent Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals,
Angemon and Angewomon appeared to fight Cherubimon. Later on, he
Digivolved to Seraphimon to release the Golden Digi-Eggs.
