Profile

Normally, Offmon is, as an offline game Appmon, extremely shy and very lacking in self-confidence. He's extremely prone to apologizing for even the most minor of perceived slights and avoids any kind of contact as much as possible. He's the opposite of Onmon, the online game Appmon, which causes him to run away from Onmon when he tries to befriend him. Despite his antisocial behaviour though, he's quite fond of Naoto. Unlike the anime Offmon, his personality does not change upon evolution, and remains just as introverted and weak-willed as Logamon and Shutmon.

In reality, Offmon is much more unhinged than he looks at first glance. He's convinced that Naoto should be alone, separate from Kazuki/Itsuki who he believes weaken his heart, and is willing to warp the entire world to get it using the Chaos Gate and Chaos AR-Field, while justifying it to himself as doing the best for Naoto. His dislike of Onmon also goes much deeper than just mere superficial differences, with him seeing Onmon (then Bootmon) as a major issue for his plans and his powers of connection as cursed. He ultimately managed to break free from this and Rebootmon, however, and upon separating as Shutmon showed his old personality again, even being willing to AppGattai with Bootmon to stop his warped self.

Digimon Universe Appli Monsters

At some point before the start of the game, Offmon became the Buddy Appmon of Naoto.

When Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto met in the Cyber Arena, Naoto was surprised and annoyed that Kazuki/Itsuki had become an Appli Driver and refused their connection, but took the time to explain how shy and withdrawn Offmon was due to being an Offline Appmon. Later on, after clearing a few quests, they met once more, and Naoto decided to fully sever their connection personally in an Appli Driver battle. During the fight, Naoto used Offmon (Applinked with Mailmon) as his trump card after his other Appmon were all beaten. However, Offmon was similarly defeated. After the fight, Onmon pushed to connect with Offmon which only made him run away in fear, while Kazuki/Itsuki explained their connection to Onmon and defended the importance of being connected. Going even further, they had Onmon forcefully reconnect Naoto's Appli Talk, making it clear they would redo it as many times as needed. While Naoto had only lost because he was merely testing Kazuki/Itsuki, he was nonetheless mad at the situation and ended up leaving alongside Offmon.

Naoto and Kazuki/Itsuki met up again after the latter defeated Ryouji and returned to the Cyber Arena. Both remarked that the other's Buddy Appmon had undergone an AppGattai, becoming Logamon, the logout Appmon, and Logimon, the login Appmon. However, the AppGattai did not change their personalities and Logamon was still as lacking in self-esteem as Offmon. Naoto angrily told Kazuki/Itsuki to do so as they pleased even if that was battling, though Logimon pointed out Naoto looked a little happy, to Naoto's own surprise. Both then left.

Naoto and Logamon quickly rejoined Kazuki/Itsuki, now alongside Makoto, in the Cyber Arena, to ask Kazuki/Itsuki where Mio went. Kazuki/Itsuki explained she was looking for him but had evidently failed to find him and Naoto mentioned that that meant the "talk" was true, but refused to explain further and left with Logamon.

Naoto and Kazuki/Itsuki, with their respective Buddy Appmon, met at the solar power plant while following the kidnapper, Jammingmon's instructions. Naoto immediately challenged Kazuki/Itsuki to a battle. Logimon complained about how Naoto had said he'd never do that, but Kazuki/Itsuki stopped him, as he believed Naoto must have a reason for his sudden change. As his last Appmon, Naoto sent Logamon, Applinked with Weatherdramon.

Naoto was left surprised at his loss, and for Kazuki/Itsuki, it was their hardest battle so far, harder than they imagined an Appmon battle could be. Both were left so tired they couldn't move at all. Logamon apologised to Naoto for losing. Jammingmon then showed up, just as surprised at how incredible their battle was and at how both of them ended up down. Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto then spoke in perfect unison, exclaiming Jammingmon wouldn't get away with this. Jammingmon was shocked at how they suddenly had energy again and both confessed they were faking it, having fully realized something was wrong in how they were made to fight each other. They both complained about how poor the other's acting was and both of their Appmon were glad their partners were fine. Naoto then rushed towards Jammingmon, only to stop after Jammingmon threatened that he'd never see Mio again. Jammingmon explained he tricked Mio to use her to manipulate Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto by using a fake treasure app campaign with an Appli Drive as its prize. While tricking her was easy, guiding her was not, hence why Jammingmon had to buy time. This angered Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto even further. After Naoto asked where Mio was, Jammingmon said she was in his hideout in a nearby town, with lots of TVs but no way to contact anyone. Naoto told Jammingmon to make good on his promise and return Mio after he battled Kazuki/Itsuki, but Jammingmon refused as Naoto didn't battle seriously. He then left. With Jammingmon out of the way, Naoto pointed out that Jammingmon's hideout might be a store that sells TVs. Kazuki/Itsuki realized this lined up with the store in Nikotamagawa where Jammingmon first caused trouble. Naoto and Logamon prepared to leave, with Logamon disappearing.

After Kazuki/Itsuki went into the TV store, they found themself trapped inside the store. To everyone's surprise, Logamon went in alongside Kazuki/Itsuki and ended up trapped with them too, while Logimon stayed behind with Naoto. Naoto shouted at Logamon to do something to save Mio, and after briefly panicking, Logamon realized he could bring down the store's system, then Logimon could reconnect it, which may cause the door to open. The plan succeeded and the four joined up again inside the store. Kazuki/Itsuki greatly praised Logamon but Naoto was far colder, treating it as something easy for Logamon.

In the second floor, Naoto and Logamon got to the sound room where Mio was trapped, with Kazuki/Itsuki and Logimon soon joining them. Mio explained she couldn't get out nor contact anyone and thanked them for coming. Naoto intended to open the door but Jammingmon refused to allow it. While Naoto screamed at Jammingmon, Mio got confused because she couldn't see him as he wasn't Appliarised. Kazuki/Itsuki told Mio the bad Appmon that kidnapped her was right beside her, though Jammingmon disliked being called bad and Mio still believed he'd give her an Appli Drive. Kazuki/Itsuki explained that wasn't true and Jammingmon mocked humans for being so easily deceived, angering Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto. Jammingmon didn't stop there, however, and decided to insult Naoto personally, calling him irresponsible for making Mio worry and want an Appli Drive. Naoto intended to fight Jammingmon for hurting Mio but he refused to fight and sent out a jamming signal to Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto's Appli Drives so they couldn't battle. Jammingmon then revealed his plan, which he thought about from observing Mio: he'd share Appli Drives with other humans that didn't know about Appmon and wanted to do bad things so they'd cause total chaos. Mio didn't want this to happen as that'd turn Appmon into tools of evil and would make even good Appli Drivers and Appmon be seen as villains. Mio's feelings got to Tutomon, who messaged both Mio and Kazuki/Itsuki with a tutorial to handle the situation, explaining Logimon should go online to summon Recomon. He then contacted Naoto, telling him to cut the power off with Logamon once Recomon arrived so Jammingmon couldn't escape. Recomon, who then arrived, also received a message from Tutomon, in this case guiding him to broadcast Jammingmon's jamming signal at full power. Jammingmon realized it was the jamming system he had Recomon record to stop the elevator and panicked at it but Recomon went ahead with it as revenge for Jammingmon's deceit. The jamming signal forced Jammingmon to drop his cyan Appli Drive, which Tutomon then had Mio take. Through it, Tutomon Appliarised, declaring the tutorial to make Mio an Appli Driver complete. Tutomon then introduced himself, explaining he had been watching Mio from her smartphone all along, with Mio's trust in Appmon and honest heart moving his soul, so he wanted to become her Buddy Appmon. Recomon was mad because he wanted that position. Jammingmon complained that Tutomon stole his Appli Drive while Tutomon threatened to make Jammingmon pay for his misdeeds and explained his jamming signal had been neutralized by Recomon's own, allowing Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto to battle him. However, Tutomon stopped Naoto as Logamon had to keep their place offline so Jammingmon couldn't escape, while Mio had no experience as an Appli Driver and wasn't ready to face Jammingmon, so Kazuki/Itsuki had to do it.

After being defeated, Jammingmon gave up and begged for forgiveness, but Naoto had no intentions of giving it. Logamon took that as an order to release the offline lock, which let Jammingmon escape, who promised only to bother Kazuki/Itsuki from now on. Logamon apologised but Naoto didn't care as Mio was safe. Meanwhile, Mio played with Tutomon and Recomon. Naoto was happy Mio had become an Appli Driver, though as usual, he refused to admit it, as he had tried hard to stop both Kazuki/Itsuki and Mio from becoming Appi Drivers. Regardless, he ordered Mio to avoid Appmon battles and focus on playing quietly with her Appmon, then left with Logamon.

After Kazuki/Itsuki defeated Kagefumi, Naoto waited outside Kagefumi's house and saw them with their newly-evolved Bootmon. Logamon was worried about Kazuki/Itsuki and Bootmon growing even stronger but Naoto merely resolved to rise even higher in response.

After Ouji explained to Kazuki/Itsuki in the Cyber Arena what Chaos AR-Fields were, Naoto and the newly-evolved Shutmon joined them. Once again, after Bootmon pointed out both of them had undergone another AppGattai, Shutmon apologised for looking like he had copied him. Naoto brushed that aside, however, focusing on Ouji instead. After Naoto fought with Ouji and Kazuki/Itsuki, Naoto and Shutmon left.

Kazuki/Itsuki and Bootmon reunited with Naoto and Shutmon very early inside the school, which made Kazuki/Itsuki think Naoto had waited for them after all, but Naoto merely asked them why they went there. However, Naoto took Kazuki/Itsuki's answer poorly as he had already decided to do it on his own then left with Shutmon.

During Naoto's Ranker battle against Makoto, Makoto's Beautymon faced off against Naoto's Shutmon. Makoto had higher Battery than Naoto but Beautymon had taken more damage than Shutmon. Makoto used Cometmon's "Astrology" Appli Skill, dealing good damage to Shutmon. Both Bootmon and Kazuki/Itsuki were impressed by Makoto, who had held the advantage against Naoto the whole fight. Naoto countered with Shutmon's "Forced Termination" Appli Skill, which dealt damage to Beautymon while filling his third Signature Skill gauge and giving him the last Attribute he hadn't used yet, Tool, though it also dealt Shutmon some recoil damage. Afterwards, Naoto pointed out that he expected more of a challenge from the A-Rank Master and was disappointed by him, then defeated Makoto with Shutmon's Luna Impulse. Kazuki/Itsuki was left wondering if Naoto took Makoto's attacks on purpouse and how easily Makoto lost. Naoto, who could now challenge the Champion, pointed out it was the natural result as he couldn't lose to someone who stopped aiming for the top, then left.

When a red symbol Appmon spawned from the Yongendori Chaos Gate and attacked Mio, Naoto and Shutmon arrived and protected her.

After Kazuki/Itsuki found Ouji and Kayo at the end of the AR Dungeon, Naoto joined them, with Bootmon and Shutmon spawning in. Unlike with Kazuki/Itsuki, Ouji was not pleased by his presence. However, Naoto didn't care about Chaos Gates or ruling the world, and he was fine with Ouji doing it, so long as he first fought him as the Champion. Ouji was confused as to why Naoto was there but for Kazuki/Itsuki it was just natural they came to deactivate the Chaos Gate together, as they were best friends. This shattered Ouji's view of Kazuki/Itsuki, as he thought they'd understand and support him and couldn't accept the two of them being so close. He then asked Kayo to fight Naoto, knowing fully well she couldn't win but she could at least buy time while he defeated Kazuki/Itsuki. However, Kayo intended to defeat Naoto, while Naoto only wanted to fight Ouji. As Kayo blocked Naoto, Ouji explained to Kazuki/Itsuki that he had been interested in them all along because he thought they had the skill and ability to be his partner, only to now find it a mistake, and he proclaimed he'd protect the world.

After both battles were over, with Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto winning, the former asked Ouji what he meant by "protecting the world" if he was taking over the world with the Chaos Gates. Ouji explained that "someone" had done what he said he would, using Hifumigaoka and its surroundings as an experiment. Said "someone" had been in hiding while controlling Jammingmon and Virusmon, and also controlled the placement of Chaos Gates via Appli Talk, even using Kayo, who didn't realize Ouji was aware of her involvement. Ouji told her he had been monitoring her Appli Talk logs while Kayo said she did it because she thought it'd be useful for him. Ouji was fine with that as he had used it to his advantage. He then explained the "0UJ1" passwords and the Chaos Gate on the school rooftop were meant to lead Kazuki/Itsuki to him while also taking advantage of "their" actions, though Ouji had miscalculated about Kazuki/Itsuki's bond with Naoto. Kazuki/Itsuki didn't understand what was strange about best friends working together. Naoto decided to let the "best friends" comment slide and instead questioned Naoto on him rejecting them working together. Ouji was fine with them being best friends but didn't think that was their bond, and instead thought they had teamed up, then told them not to use Chaos Gates to take over the world, confusing both of them as neither intended to do so. Ouji then revealed the mastermind behind this incident was Naoto's Buddy Appmon, Shutmon. Shutmon admitted this but explained he did it to grant Naoto's wish, so he could become strong enough to not depend on anyone, even if it meant reshaping the world. Shutmon then told Kazuki/Itsuki that Naoto had felt he had to become strong enough without relying on them for a long time, and it was at that time that he met Offmon, the offline game app's Appmon, who cut him from his family and friends to answer his wish, and he thought he had succeded until Onmon, now Bootmon, showed up. Bootmon had merely done the same as Shutmon - answer Kazuki/Itsuki's feelings and restore their connection with Naoto, which he then maintained. For Shutmon, though, that only meant Kazuki/Itsuki stirred Naoto's heart, so he tried to pull them apart in every way possible, which Ouji realized meant him stirring trouble for Kazuki/Itsuki, only for them to keep returning to Naoto, again and again, shaking Naoto's heart even more which would eventually return him to being weak, hence why Shutmon decided to recreate the world into one without Kazuki/Itsuki in it. Naoto cried out that he didn't want that, but for Shutmon that was only proof of how weak his heart had gotten and proclaimed they had to become stronger, and to do so, would accept Bootmon's "accursed" power. Shutmon then hijacked Naoto's Appli Drive using the Chaos AR-Field, forcing Bootmon into an AppGattai and becoming Rebootmon. As that was an AppGattai of two Ultimate Grade Appmon, Ouji knew that meant they had become a God Grade. Rebootmon proclaimed Kazuki/Itsuki's Buddy Appmon was gone then told Naoto to cast Kazuki/Itsuki aside and grow stronger, then remake the world into one just for them. Mio then called, screaming that she knew Naoto since far before Rebootmon did and wouldn't let him make a world for only them. Alongside her were the Rank Masters Yukari, Makoto and Kagefumi. Ouji also proclaimed they would protect the world, even against a God Appmon. Rebootmon explained that, as the fusion of Shutmon and Bootmon, he possessed both the ability to cut Appmon off and steal their power. With that, he took everyone's Appmon, and cut the connection with Mio and the rest. He then once again beckoned Naoto to go with him to a world without Kazuki/Itsuki where they wouldn't need to rely on anyone. Naoto agreed but with one condition: return all of Kazuki/Itsuki's Appmon, as if he had to not rely on Kazuki/Itsuki, then Rebootmon couldn't rely on their Appmon either. Rebootmon agreed and released them, including Bootmon, which to Ouji's surprise didn't make him revert, thanks to his ability to reboot and restore which instantly regenerated Bootmon's part, making him unneeded. Naoto told Kazuki/Itsuki this was his problem to solve then left with Rebootmon to go into the system.

At the deepest part of the system, Rebootmon asked Naoto why he defied him. Naoto answered that Rebootmon didn't understand anything. He remembered how, when Mio nearly drowned, he was the only one there and couldn't do anything, which made him realize that, whenever he was in trouble, Kazuki/Itsuki always helped. That's what made him want to become strong enough to save Mio without their help, and in turn that made him avoid them out of fear of returning to his weak old self. However, he didn't wish for a world without Kazuki/Itsuki and the rest in it, and Rebootmon had mistaken his intentions. Naoto then told Rebootmon he still had time to stop. Jammingmon then showed up, alongside the Three Evil Mons; and manipulated Rebootmon by telling him he wasn't wrong and Naoto would understand if he became stronger. While Naoto tried to stop him, Rebootmon fully believed him and absorbed the Three Evil Mons. Jammingmon then left to get more "food" for Rebootmon. Naoto wondered if he truly couldn't do anything to stop his Buddy Appmon. Kazuki/Itsuki then showed up, having heard everything. Both Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto apologized to each other, and the latter asked the former to stop Rebootmon. Rebootmon, from his part, was sure he hadn't commited any mistakes, Naoto had, and it was Kazuki/Itsuki's fault. Bootmon joined them and promised to protect Kazuki/Itsuki, who themself promised to stop Rebootmon. During the fight, Rebootmon uses Shutmon, Oujamon, and Sateramon for Appli Skills.

Naoto reunites with Shutmon.

Far from giving up after the fight, Rebootmon attempted a reboot to obtain more power for Naoto's sake. Naoto realized that Rebootmon had gone that far from his sake and asked him to stop. He also realized that he only ever thought about becoming stronger individually, which led to him not noticing his Buddy Appmon becoming twisted. Offmon's voice from inside Rebootmon then asked them to defeat him. Rebootmon briefly returned to Shutmon before becoming Rebootmon once more, as Shutmon confessed he couldn't stop, even though he made Naoto suffer and would end up hurting him too, so the only choice was for Kazuki/Itsuki to shut Rebootmon down so he couldn't reboot anymore, even if it meant Shutmon would disappear. Meanwhile, Rebootmon's reboot ability kept healing his injuries and Bootmon knew they had to finish him or they'd lose. While Kazuki/Itsuki accepted Bootmon and Shutmon's resolve, Naoto rejected it and refused to let Shutmon be erased. He asked Shutmon to get out of Rebootmon alongside all the absorbed Appmon, and he'd be sure to grab his hand. Shutmon managed to separate himself from Rebootmon and apologized deeply to Naoto, who asked him not to show such a pitiful expression, as he was his Buddy Appmon. Through Appli Talk, Ouji then confirmed that all of their Appmon had returned.

Rebootmon still craved more power. Jammingmon reappeared with more prey for him: two Virusmon and an infected Tapmon and Swipemon, which Rebootmon swiftly absorbed. To Jammingmon's surprise though, Rebootmon didn't stop there and absorbed him too. Now freed from his original self and infected with the virus, Rebootmon intended to kill all of humanity other than Naoto, which he saw as unneccesary. To do so, he caused the Chaos AR-Field to spread even further, to the point that it affected the Real World. Normal humans were forced into the Chaos AR-Field and the Real World was corrupted, and in both cases, infected Appmon manifested and attacked people. Ouji told Kazuki/Itsuki they'd try to hold them back, alongside the Appli Drivers around the world, but the only way to truly stop it would be to defeat Rebootmon. Kazuki/Itsuki intended to try but Naoto couldn't as Shutmon was too weakened to fight. Kazuki/Ituski thought the situation was impossible but knew he could rely on Bootmon and they could overcome anything together.

During the fight, the infected Rebootmon uses Shutmon, Bootmon, Oujamon, Charismon, Beautymon, and Hadesmon for Appli Skills.

Two Rebootmon.

Even defeating Rebootmon wasn't enough however, as he started rebooting once more. Shutmon said that they needed to become a God Appmon to stop one. Bootmon was glad Shutmon was finally willing to connect with him and both were fine with becoming one if it was to help their Buddies. Kazuki/Itsuki then had them AppGattai into Rebootmon once more, who promised they'd protect Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto. Both Rebootmon then clashed against each other. Their intense fight pushed Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto back to the Real World and removed the Chaos Gate. Ouji asked them if that meant Rebootmon was defeated and they tried to explain the situation as much as they understood it. Rebootmon then called Kazuki/Itsuki, who confirmed the virus-infected Rebootmon was defeated, though the Chaos AR-Field was still active and the virus-infected Appmon rampage was still ongoing, as Kayo confirmed. Ouji stated it was because the deepest parts of the system had been corrupted by the Chaos Gate and the infected Rebootmon spread the virus worldwide. Rebootmon could undo it with their powers of regeneration and rebooting though, returning the system to the state before it was corrupted. While Mio thought that was amazing, Ouji pointed out that the system contined the Artificial Intelligence of all the Appmon in the area, so resetting it could mean their Appmon would disappear, Rebootmon included. Oujamon stated the Buddy Appmon were aware of the risk, however, and chose to entrust everything to Rebootmon. Mio begged Rebootmon not to do it as Tutomon may disappear, but Tutomon found the request too heartbreaking, as this was something they were all prepared for. Mio cried out they finally got to meet and be together. Rebootmon asked Kazuki/Itsuki to give them the signal to reboot. Kazuki/Itsuki reminded them they said they'd always be together, and Rebootmon confirmed it, as their souls would always remain by Kazuki/Itsuki's and Naoto's side. With that acknowledged, Kazuki/Itsuki gave the order. Rebootmon thanked Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto and told them they were glad to have met them.

The reboot succeeded, vanishing the Chaos AR-Field and the infected Appmon, alongside the Buddy Appmon. However, the Buddy Appmon then returned, with Bootmon and Shutmon separated. The credits then roll.

After MCmon revealed the High-End GP (EX) to Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto, Shutmon joined them and proclaimed Naoto wouldn't lose, before being overcome by his shyness and apologizing for butting in. Naoto corrected him, however, stating that they wouldn't lose, as he had now learned that Appmon weren't tools and the power of bonds, and he wouldn't lose in either battles or bonds to Kazuki/Itsuki. Both promised to meet in the finals. MCmon asked them if they were ready and told them to win the High-End GP (S-Rank) to enter the EX series.
