Agumon (Digiranger)

Agumon is the Digimon partner of Taichi Yagami in the two seasons Bouken Sentai Digiranger & Bouken Sentai Digiranger 02.

While both are matched well in that they can act rather brashly & hot-headedly when their friends are in danger, Agumon is typically the more cautious one, even if his partner disregards his advice. The pair joke around with each other a lot & go through many trials together, but their trust in each other is evident.

Movie
Agumon first appeared as a Digitama which comes out of the Yagamis' computer in the middle of the night. When the egg hatched into Botamon the following day, the Yagami children, Taichi Yagami & Hikari Yagami, befriended him. When Hikari fed Botamon some chocolate, he transformed into Koromon.

Able to speak now, Koromon constantly asked questions & eventually became friends with Taichi & Hikari. The following night, however, Koromon transformed into Agumon & took Hikari for a ride. When Parrotmon hatched, Agumon transformed into Greymon to battle him but came close to losing. Taichi managed to blow Hikari's whistle to awaken him in time to defend against Parrotmon's attack. Greymon attacked with Mega Flame, & both Digimon were sent back to the Digital World. When the Digirangers are told of the past & why they were chosen, they are shown a stilled scene from this battle.

Koromon had a profound impact on not only the Yagami household but the world in general. Those who witnessed the battle between his transformation Greymon & Parrotmon would become candidates to be Digirangers later on. In fact, the Digirangers who would eventually save the world discover that they all witnessed this battle after returning to the scene following their first adventure in the Digital World, & they subsequently figure out that the Eighth Child, the missing Digiranger, must have also witnessed the same battle. Hikari, in particular, displays knowledge that she remembers not only Digimon but Koromon in particular when meeting him for the since they met years ago.

Digiranger
Agumon was recreated, along with the rest of the Digirangers' Digimon, as part of a project to help control the balance between good & evil in the Digital World. When he was a Digitama connected to the Crest of Courage, the Dark Masters attacked the facility where he was housed, & Gennai flees with the eggs in hand. He was taken to File Island, where he hatched into Botamon who eventually transformed into Koromon. During this time, he played with the other Digimon as he holds the Digivice that belongs to Taichi Yagami, waiting for his partner's arrival. One day, the Digivices suddenly vanish into the sky, heralding the coming of their partners.

Koromon discovers his partner, Taichi, after he comes to the Digital World unconscious. Introducing himself, Koromon sticks by Taichi despite his confusion & eventually meets up with Koushiro Izumi & Mochimon until a Kuwagamon attacks them. Hiding in a tree to escape, the four eventually meet up with the rest of the Digirangers, who attend the same summer camp as Taichi & Koushiro: Sora Takenouchi & Pyocomon, Yamato Ishida & Tunomon, Mimi Tachikawa & Tanemon, Jou Kido & Pukamon, & Takeru Takaishi & Tokomon. Unfortunately, Kuwagamon attacks them once more but Koromon, alongside the other Digimon, transforms to his Rookie form to protect his partner & becomes Agumon. Though strong, Kuwagamon is still stronger, & they are thrown off a cliff.

Gomamon rescues them from drowning & the group ends up at a beach. Here, the Digirangers discuss their food supply, & Agumon is the only one to eat in this time frame. Because Agumon is the only one to eat, he is the only one who has energy to battle the Shellmon who attacks, but he isn't strong enough to successfully fend him off. In order to help, Taichi decides to provide a distraction. He is caught while doing so, & the rush of anger & protectiveness that Taichi & Agumon both feel spur their Transformation into [[Taichi Yagami#DigiOrange|DigiOrange & Greymon, & they both defeat Shellmon together.

Agumon follows Taichi as he leads the group on their journey through File Island. After the group gets separated by Devimon, Agumon helps Taichi survive the freezing cold through judicious use of his Baby Flame to create fire.

Taichi & Agumon return to the Village of Beginnings in time to protect Takeru, Yamato's little brother, from Leomon as DigiOrange & Greymon. They subsequently defeat Devimon & are told by Gennai to head to the Server Continent. Along the way, the group finds the Tags to their Crests but are attacked by Etemon on the Continent itself. The Digirangers manage to escape into a tunnel, where Taichi finds his Crest of Courage. This brings Taichi arrogance, however, as well as the ambition to get himself & Agumon to transform into Perfect. Despite his efforts to cool Taichi down, Agumon suffers as Taichi overfeeds him in order to give him energy. When Etemon traps them in an arena against another Greymon & Taichi & Agumon transform to fight, he is beaten because his reaction times are so slow due to the food. Taichi walks deliberately into trouble, knowing that danger is what causes themselves & their partners to transform, but it has the wrong effect: Taichi & Greymon dark transform to Skull DigiOrange & SkullGreymon, who rampages around and takes out Garurumon, Birdramon, and Kabuterimon before regressing into an exhausted Koromon. The Arrival of Skullgreymon As a result, both of them lose their confidence until Piximon arrives and forces them to face their doubts. Agumon views a time when Tai tried to learn how to ride a bike, and learns that he needs to bounce back after suffering from a defeat that despite all the hardship, all of the pain, he needs to come back after suffering defeat.
