⇨ Japanese
A Beast Digimon that, because it has an old-style Interface on its brow, is presumed to be an experimental "Prototype Digimon" from before Digimon were discovered. Although its body is clad in Japanese-style armor high in defensive ability, its movements are nimble, so it fights by resolutely leaping into the opponent's chest. It studies the business of combat as it fights, and possesses Bushikatagi, with bravery and a soul that doesn't fear more powerful Digimon. The data that is said to have been hidden within the deepest parts of its Digicore, during an experiment, is the ferocious combat data of the "Dragons" and "Generals" of Japanese mythology, and it is said it has the potential to grow into a mighty Digimon. Signature Move: Withstands the opponent's attacks with its armor and helmet, then counterattacks (Kabutogaeshi). Its Special Move is leaping into the opponent's chest and firing a blade of iron from its mouth (Iaijin).

Anime[edit]

Digimon Ghost Game[edit]

Ryudamon arrived in the Real World but turned into a small Gyukimon soon after, though without losing control of himself. In "Contagion Island", he sought Amanokawa Hiro's help, as he was told by his dad, Amanokawa Hokuto, to do so if he needed it. Hiro agreed to help him in spite of the objections of Angoramon, who explained that Gyukimon are dangerous Digimon that reproduce by biting others and turning them into new Gyukimon. While he was meant to stay with Bakumon during Hiro's travel to an island for a school trip, he instead travelled alongside him, which Higashimitarai Kiyoshiro and Jellymon were not okay with. That night, Ryudamon began to lose control of himself. Upon arriving at the island, he began succumbing to Gyukimon's instincts, knocking out and injecting Nijima, Nomura Kotaro, and other students with the substance in the canisters on his back, turning them into Gyukimon and causing him to grow in size until he became as big as a standard Gyukimon.

Betel Gammamon and Tesla Jellymon fought against Gyukimon, with the former and Hiro desperately wanting to turn him back into Ryudamon, though no one knew if it would be possible. Symbare Angoramon and Bakumon arrived afterwards and confirmed they could turn him back through using the Digivice-V-, in the same way their own partner Digimon returned to their Child levels after evolving. Betel Gammamon was beaten and thrown away by Gyukimon, but he evolved into Canoweissmon, and in that form caused Ryudamon's Digicore Interface to appear over Gyukimon's brow, which he then headbutted, causing both of them to be covered in an explosion of light. This led Gammamon into Ryudamon's consciousness, where he removed the darkness of Gyukimon and freed Ryudamon, who returned back to his original form.
