Digimon Beatbreak[edit]
E-Pulse existed long before humanity was capable of perceiving it and can be used to empower Digimon, including inducing evolution. The company that first discovered it, coined the term "e-Pulse", and began researching it was Urban Protocol Co., the predecessor of World Union. Becoming a Perfect or Ultimate requires a tremendous amount of e-Pulse, so only someone with considerable power may reach it[1]. Ultimates in-particular are virtually impossible to achieve without the Digimon being powered by particularly solid convictions, though this can be side-stepped by farming e-Pulse from many other people instead at the cost of causing an unstable evolution.[2]
Digimon require e-Pulse to survive. A Digimon that can't consume e-Pulse will steadily weaken. Digimon can consume a human's e-Pulse either willingly through their Sapotama or unwillingly by absorbing it directly from them. Excessive drainage from a Digimon (usually through attacking them[3][4] or doing something with the Digimon that its owner cannot sustain for an extended period of time [5]) will eventually cause Cold Heart until said e-Pulse is returned to them.
e-Pulse can vary significantly depending on the user and their emotional state. Older people can't produce enough e-Pulse to sustain a Digimon[6], and younger ones cannot produce enough e-pulse to sustain a Digimon in its more advanced forms[7].
Black e-Pulse (黒いe-パルス kuroi e-Parusu) is an e-Pulse produced through negative emotions. It can drive a Digimon berserk.[4] Black e-Pulse can cause evolution, but the evolution may go berserk[8] or the Digimon evolved may have their personality heavily warped.[9] Berserk Digimon under the effect of Black e-Pulse have glowing red eyes. Black e-Pulse can be triggered by accident[4] or on purpose.[8]
Certain humans have unique e-Pulses, either from birth or due to their growth in life. Tenma Tomoro's e-Pulse is a strange one that causes Sapotama to glitch and is very attractive to Digimon.[3] In the past, Sawashiro Kyo's e-Pulse was heavily affected by anger even if it didn't drive Murasamemon wild, while in the present it has become mixed with the "colours" of the other members of the Glowing Dawn.[2] Tenma Asuka's e-Pulse is special and needed for the Shangri-La Project. His e-Pulse can be injected into human beings (including himself) to remove their free will as well.[10] Kuroshio Souji's e-Pulse is black at all times and can hijack other Digimon, forcing them to follow Souji's orders. It's also powerful enough to let him control several Perfect Digimon at once.[11]
A person's e-Pulse can be measured using an E.M.D. (e-Pulse Measurement Device), which gives them scores in five categories: control, stability, capacity, strength, and speed. So far, only Seraphy Naito, leader of Tactics, has been shown using one for training purposes.[12]
The White Core holds infinite e-Pulse and can power up the user's e-Pulse.[11]
