Appearances[edit]
Anime[edit]
Digimon Universe Appli Monsters[edit]
Bootmon was born from the Super Boot app created by Katsura Hajime under orders from Leviathan, who intended to use him to launch the program that would transform humanity into digital applications. Although he was born as an Ultimate Appmon, he possessed the innocence, voice, and personality of a child. Before being taken by Leviathan, Hajime freed Bootmon and instructed him to flee. As punishment, Hajime was transformed into Sleepmon by Biomon. As a result, Bootmon's capture became a top priority for L-Corp.
In response, the Appli Drivers began tracking down Bootmon. He was eventually found at Appmon Kindergarten, but was startled by Gatchmon, Musimon, and Dokamon, causing him to flee. Bootmon was found again following Damedamon's defeat at a festival in ""Pursue the Fugitive - Bootmon!"", but he once again ran away after being frightened by the fireworks and was not seen for some time.
In ""The Truth About Yujin"", Gatchmon installs a hack created by Rei and Hajime that would cause Bootmon to travel to Haru's location the next time his escape program activated. After being frightened by Eri and fleeing, Bootmon is drawn to the location where Haru and Yujin are. However, he is killed by Shutmon shortly before Yujin reveals himself to be a robot and servant of Leviathan.
In ""Launch! The Humanity Applification Plan!"", Bootmon is infected by Yujin, becoming seemingly more violent while retaining his childish personality. He is then used to activate the God Grade using Deusmon's Chip and is merged with Shutmon to create Rebootmon's Chip.
After Leviathan absorbs the God Appmon, Bootmon is presumably restored to normal, much like Offmon. However, he is not seen again until ""Our Singularity"", where it is revealed that he remains with Hajime, just as the other Buddy Appmon remain with their partners.
Manga[edit]
Digimon Universe Appli Monsters[edit]
Bootmon is an Ultimate Grade Appmon created by Katsura Hajime. His Super Boot ability becomes central to Leviathan's plans, allowing it to unlock the God Grade, which Minerva had sealed to prevent its power from being misused. Unryuji Knight subsequently performs an AppGattai between Warudamon and Cometmon to create Deusmon, whose body Leviathan takes over.
Bootmon also combines with Shutmon to form Rebootmon, who fights alongside Ozora Yujin and the other Appli Drivers against the Leviathan-controlled Deusmon. With energy supplied by people around the world through Minerva's smartphone network, Rebootmon and the other God Grade Appmon overcome Leviathan's control.
At the end of the manga, Bootmon is shown in his Standard Grade form, Onmon, alongside Hajime. Their association suggests that Onmon becomes Hajime's Buddy Appmon, although Hajime is not explicitly shown possessing an Appli Drive.
