Digimon Universe Appli Monsters

Kazuki/Itsuki met Ouji at Nikotamagawa while investigating an outage. Ouji was gathering data of something and refused to help Kazuki/Itsuki, telling them to ask someone else as he was busy.

After Kazuki/Itsuki cleared the High-End GP (E-Rank) tournament, Ouji and Kayo showed up. Ouji was curious about Onmon, a type of Appmon he had never seen before, so Kazuki/Itsuki introduced him before asking who Ouji was, which angered Kayo who introduced him as "Ouji-sama" (オウジ様, a phonetic equivalent to 王子様, "prince") which made Kazuki/Itsuki believe she implied he was royalty rather than naming him. Ouji corrected the misconception but Kayo was still aggressive, questioning if Kazuki/Itsuki wasn't an Appli Driver but a fraud. MCmon defended them as they were still a beginner then explained Ouji was the Champion of the Cyber Arena, then Kayo added he also was the heir to Teito Security and a genius high school programmer in charge of Hifumigaoka's security system. Ouji told her to knock it off, however, as in the Cyber Arena he was just a regular Appli Driver. Onmon challenged Ouji to a fight but he refused, instead Appliarising his Buddy Appmon, Oujamon, as proof of how Kazuki/Itsuki wasn't ready to face him yet. He then despawned Oujamon and left, though not before stating he looked forward to Kazuki/Itsuki's growth. Kayo left with him. Despite not getting a fight, Kazuki/Itsuki was deeply moved by their encounter with Ouji, which left them shivering with excitement.

Ouji and Kayo met up with Kazuki/Itsuki once more after the latter beat the High-End GP (D-Rank) tournament. Kazuki/Itsuki didn't remember Kayo, which angered her. Ouji congratulated Kazuki/Itsuki for ranking up and found it interesting that they solved the Protecmon incident at school. With Logimon Appliarised, he also remarked Onmon had undergone an AppGattai. Ouji felt that many more Appmon would help Kazuki/Itsuki in the future just like Onmon and Gatchmon did. Kazuki/Itsuki hoped he was right as meeting new Appmon and Rankers was fun though they were embarassed to hear it from the Champion himself. Ouji thought that one day they may fight each other although Kayo believed it was impossible Kazuki/Itsuki and Logimon could measure up to Ouji and Oujamon, which Kazuki/Itsuki and Logimon took badly. The duo then left, but the conversation became a reminder for Kazuki/Itsuki that there were still many strong Appli Drivers they had to beat, like Naoto and Ouji.

Ouji reappeared in Mihamakou as Kazuki/Itsuki looked for the D-Rank Master, which Ouji immediately realized. After advising them not to rush, Ouji explained he was checking the town because he was curious about something. His explanation got interrupted by a sudden commotion however. Ouji then left, arguing he had something he needed to check.

Appli Drivers meet for the C-Rank battle.

Ouji arrived at the Cyber Arena just as Kazuki/Itsuki was about to face Kayo as the C-Rank Master. Ouji praised Kazuki/Itsuki, which got Kayo to seek his approval as well. However, the only thing she got from Ouji was him asking her about the matter he had her take care of. Kayo explained she had found traces in the AR Dungeon and had Copipemon copy them. She then sent the data to Ouji. Kazuki/Itsuki wondered if that was the same AR Dungeon they had found her lost in. Kayo refused to answer but Kazuki/Itsuki kept pressing her so Ouji instead explained he was interested in the Virusmon incidents happening everywhere. He added that Virusmon was an Appmon that possessed virus abilities that appeared in the Net Ocean at some point and began infecting other Appmon with viruses. Ouji reminded Kazuki/Itsuki that one such incident happened at their school with Protecmon getting infected, hence why he sent Kayo there to search for Virusmon traces. He then asked Kazuki/Itsuki to check on an infected Appmon in Mihamakou as he couldn't do it himself. Kayo took the job herself, even rejecting the Ranker battle to do so. MCmon tried to stop her but Kayo shut him down. Instead of the Ranker battle, Kayo challenged Kazuki/Itsuki to see who stopped the virus incident in Mihamakou first, if they won, Kayo would battle them right away, but if they lost, they'd be demoted to F-Rank. Ouji didn't mind the contest but told Kayo to make sure to handle the task he gave her by herself, which Kayo confirmed she'd do. She then left. Ouji then asked Kazuki/Itsuki what they intended to do. Kazuki/Itsuki accepted the challenge as the quest "Virus Incident in Mihamakou". Ouji couldn't wait to find out who'd clear the challenge.

Kayo arrived at the Cyber Arena first by running, so she was left winded but could get the data to Ouji, who praised Kazuki/Itsuki for resolving the Mihamakou incident. Kayo tried to get Ouji's attention on that topic but he merely pointed out that it was Kazuki/Itsuki who did it, and therefore was also the winner of their challenge. Despite that, Kayo still refused to battle Kazuki/Itsuki, angry at them being the only one recognized by Ouji, an attitude that once again annoyed MCmon. Kayo didn't care however and left the Cyber Arena to go home, a situation that, according to MCmon, had never happened before in its history. Kazuki/Itsuki asked Ouji where Kayo's house was and he replied it was on Yongendōri at the foot of a mountain. Ouji then told them Virusmon was also around that same area so they should be careful.

After Kazuki/Itsuki defeated Kayo, she met with Ouji in an undisclosed location where she revealed she had not defeated but captured her Virusmon copy, which she gave to Ouji. Ouji was fine with having a copy with weaker abilities than the original as his plan could still proceed to the next stage.

As Makoto attempted to leave during the Cyber Arena's greatest outage, Ouji stopped him and called him out on ignoring the situation. Makoto, however, just left silently anyways. Ouji then explained to Kazuki/Itsuki that, when an AR-Field was cut off from the network, that area would become a corrupted, negative AR-Field known as a Chaos AR-Field, formed from the accumulated negative emotions that formed the dark side of the net. One of said Chaos AR-Fields had formed around the Cyber Arena, causing its current outage. Having heard that, Naoto and the newly-evolved Shutmon then 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 and instead blamed Ouji for the appearance of the Chaos AR-Field as a way to escape from battling him. Ouji found that proposal bold and argued that, if that was the case, then Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto should stop the Chaos AR-Field themselves, whose source was probably in the school, and then he'd battle Naoto if he got the voucher. Naoto asked Ouji why he didn't solve it himself but Ouji argued he had other things to do and Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto together should be enough anyways.

After Kazuki/Itsuki and Makoto found the Chaos Gate in Nikotamagawa, Kazuki/Itsuki thought Ouji may know about it, and although he dodged saying his name in fear of triggering Makoto again, he easily realized who they meant anyways. However, Makoto thought they had no way to contact him with Appli Talk down, but Kazuki/Itsuki knew Bootmon could connect Appli Talk as he had done before. The bigger issue was that neither had Ouji's contact information. Kazuki/Itsuki thought of contacting Teito Security but Makoto knew they wouldn't give his info to a random stranger. Thinking about it once again, Makoto realized they could contact Ouji's Buddy Appmon, Oujamon, who had stayed with Yadomon in the past and they could trace the lodging record from that time. To do so, Makoto called to Yadomon, who found his contact. He knew he shouldn't tell them due to confidentiality but it was an emergency. Bootmon then established a connection with a full-power boot, bringing Oujamon to them, who introduced himself then asked the others to do the same. Kazuki/Itsuki did as asked then asked him to let them talk to Ouji. Oujamon recognized Kazuki/Itsuki as the one Ouji was interested in and left to do as asked. It worked, as Ouji then called Kazuki/Itsuki, who explained the situation in fear. Ouji was already aware of the Nikotamagawa Chaos Gate as he was investigating it but couldn't stop it, they'd have to do it from their side, and he didn't know the password either. What he did know was that four nearby AR Dungeons were linked to the Chaos Gate, which Makoto realized meant the password was in them. Ouji sent the AR Dungeon locations to Kazuki/Itsuki and Makoto then cut the call.

After finding the password "0UJ1" twice across the Chaos Gates, Kazuki/Itsuki suspected Ouji was behind the events, though they didn't want to believe it. Naoto was convinced this was the case and proclaimed he'd defeat Ouji as he entered a Teito Security laptop AR Dungeon in the Hifumigaoka Middle School rooftop which had created a third Chaos AR-Field in Hifumigaoka. At the end of the AR Dungeon, Kazuki/Itsuki found Ouji and Kayo, confirming their suspicions. Ouji explained he had intentionally left the laptop behind so Kazuki/Itsuki would arrive there and was glad they came. Repeating his explanation of the Chaos AR-Field once more, Ouji pointed out even a minor outage from a Chaos Gate could cause a big impact, so he intended to carry it out on a much larger scale, to generate a massive Chaos AR-Field that would envelop the whole Earth. Kazuki/Itsuki didn't believe it was possible, but Ouji explained there was a system beneath the Cyber Arena linked to every Appli Driver worldwide, and by linking said system to the Chaos Gate's power through the Chaos AR-Field, it'd become possible to control the world. Naoto joined them afterwards, 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.

Ouji opens the fight with Oujamon. After Oujamon goes down, Ouji acknowledges Kazuki/Itsuki's strength, as well as that of his Appmon, hence why he thought they'd be the one and found this regrettable. He then sends Dosukomon. Unlike other Appli Drivers, he does not have a third Appmon, returning to Oujamon after Dosukomon. All of his Appmon are Applinked with Raidramon. He also uses Cometmon for Appli Skills.

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.

With the two gone, Kazuki/Itsuki, Ouji and Kayo returned to the Real World where Mio and the Rank Masters were. Ouji's laptop was replaced with the proper Chaos Gate, and Ouji knew that's where Naoto and Rebootmon were but only Kazuki/Itsuki could follow them, as no one else had Appmon anymore.

As Kazuki/Itsuki prepared to enter the AR Dungeon, Ouji asked them if they were going to save Naoto. Kayo reminded them that they had to save the world, but they should save their precious friend too. Makoto accepted it was all up to them again. Yukari was certain they would succeed. Kagefumi knew that their side that helped others even when told not to was what saved him and what would save Naoto. Mio wondered if it was her fault that Naoto had changed and begged Kazuki/Itsuki to save him, promising not to be selfish anymore. Bootmon had been saved by Naoto and wanted to return the favour. With all of those feelings riding on their back, Kazuki/Itsuki and Bootmon entered the AR Dungeon.

Trivia

• Ouji's name comes from the Japanese words ouji (王子) and ouja (王者), which mean "prince" and "champion", respectively. The former is acknowledged in the game itself and refers to his position as the heir to Teito Security as well as overall influence over others, while the latter instead refers to his position in the Cyber Arena and connects him to his Buddy Appmon, Oujamon, who shares the same name basis.
