DigiMemory (Next)

The eight DigiMemories (「デジメモリ」 ""Dejimemori""^?), also written as Sekai no Kioku (「世界の記憶」^? lit. "The world's memories"), are powerful items that appear primarily in Digimon Next, but are intertwined with the frequently appearing concepts of "Fields" (「フィールド」 ""Fīrudo""^?) and "Species".

The DigiMemories are a set of eight pendants, each representing a kind of Digimon. Barbamon sought to gather all eight DigiMemories, to complete N.E.O, his supreme Digimon. He then planned to use NEO to control the Digital World after recreating it in his image.

The DigiMemories were each possessed by a Digimon who embodied that DigiMemory. While contained within the Digimon, the DigiMemory gave them more power than was usual for a Digimon of their level. This extra power was kept as they evolved.

• The Dragon DigiMemory was possessed by Tatsuno Tsurugi's Agumon, but was taken from him in Victory Greymon form by N.E.O.

• The Beast DigiMemory was possessed by Inui Yuu's Gaomon. It was taken by N.E.O after defeating Gaomon in Z'd Garurumon form.

• The Bird DigiMemory was possessed by Kahara Shou's Peckmon. It was taken by N.E.O when it was created.

• The Water DigiMemory was possessed by Kitajima Ami's Pitchmon. It was given to N.E.O by Barbamon, along with Pitchmon.

• The remaining four Digi-Memories all belonged to partnerless Digimon, strangely creating a situation where half of the DigiMemories are possessed by Art. (Artificial) Digimon and the other four are possessed by 'true' Digimon.

• The Holy DigiMemory was possessed by Piccolomon, but was taken from him by Sealsdramon.

• The Insect/Plant DigiMemory was possessed by Atlur Kabuterimon, but was taken from him by Shou's Yatagaramon.

• The Machine/Mutant DigiMemory was possessed by Andromon, and it is unknown how he lost it. It is assumed that Chaosdramon took it after destroying him.

• Finally, the Dark DigiMemory belonged to Barbamon. After he was destroyed by Victory Greymon, he passed the DigiMemory and his data to N.E.O.

N.E.O was created as a result of combining all eight DigiMemories. It proved almost unstoppable, even when the spirits of the destroyed DigiMemory holders (minus Barbamon) fought against it. However, after Tsurugi's Victory Greymon impales N.E.O, empowered by the bonds between humans and Digimon, N.E.O realizes that feelings are important and that everything wants to live, so it releases the DigiMemories, which rebuild the Digital World.
