D5

D5 (DIMENSION DELETE and DEADLY DESTRUCTION DAY), also known as the "Day of Ultimate Destruction" (究極の破壊の日 Kyūkyoku no Hakai no Hi), is Bagramon's plan to use dark energy to destroy the barriers separating every dimension and merge all of space-time under his control. It serves as the final stage of his attempt to conquer both the Digital World and the Real World in Digimon Xros Wars: The Evil Death Generals and the Seven Kingdoms.

The activation of D5 requires the Dark Stone, which is created by infusing the completed Code Crown with the negative energy gathered from the seven Lands.

Digimon Xros Wars: The Evil Death Generals and the Seven Kingdoms

Preparations

After obtaining all of the Code Crowns, Bagramon reformats the Digital World in his own image, dividing it into seven Lands ruled by the Death Generals. The Death Generals oppress the Digimon living within their respective domains, generating vast amounts of negative energy.

This negative energy is gathered and used by Dark Knightmon to transform the Code Crown into the Dark Stone. Once the process is complete, Dark Knightmon delivers the Dark Stone to Bagramon, who absorbs it into his body. The accumulated energy provides Bagramon with the power necessary to break through the dimensional barrier separating the Digital World from the Real World and initiate D5.

Activation

Bagramon reveals that D5 stands for "Dimension Delete and Deadly Destruction Day", the day on which every dimension will be destroyed and merged into a single world under his control. He activates the Dark Stone within his body and extends his artificial right arm into the sky, opening a superdimensional portal connecting the Digital World to the Real World.

Bagramon's enlarged hand emerges directly above Kōtō, near the location where Tactimon's Jatetsufūjin-maru had fallen into Tokyo Bay. According to Bagramon, Tactimon's purpose in invading the Real World had been to provide him with the coordinates necessary to reach it.

After embedding his hand into the ground around the Rainbow Bridge, Bagramon begins draining the energy from the surrounding area. The humans and objects caught within its influence are left completely immobilized as the destruction and assimilation of the Real World begins.

Meanwhile, Omega Shoutmon and Zeke Greymon attack Bagramon in the Digital World while his artificial arm remains extended into the Real World. Dark Knightmon takes advantage of Bagramon's exposed position and stabs him from behind. Believing that he can usurp his brother's power and take control of D5, Dark Knightmon uses his Darkness Loader to forcibly DigiXros himself with Bagramon, creating Darkness Bagramon. However, Bagramon's consciousness overwhelms Dark Knightmon and assumes control of their combined body.

Final stage

With Bagramon's power strengthened by the forced DigiXros, D5 continues to spread through the Real World. Kudou Taiki, Aonuma Kiriha and their allies battle Darkness Bagramon in the Digital World, while Hinomoto Akari and Tsurugi Zenjirou attempt to stop Bagramon's hand in the Real World.

Akari and Zenjirou recover Jatetsufūjin-maru from Tokyo Bay and use it against Bagramon's artificial arm. By severing the arm that connects him to the Real World, they interrupt D5 and prevent the complete destruction and absorption of the human world.

Although D5 is halted, Darkness Bagramon remains powerful enough to overwhelm Shoutmon X7 and begins absorbing the Digital World itself. The desire of the Digimon throughout the Digital World to protect their future allows them to unite with Shoutmon through a DigiXros, creating Shoutmon X7: Superior Mode. Shoutmon X7: Superior Mode destroys Darkness Bagramon and releases the Digimon he had absorbed, definitively ending D5. The Digital World is subsequently restored.

Etymology

The name "D5" is formed from the five words in its expanded English name:

• Dimension
• Delete
• Deadly
• Destruction
• Day

The plan is also called the "Day of Ultimate Destruction", and its name and apocalyptic nature evoke the concept of Judgement Day found in the Abrahamic religions.
