⇨ Original A Demon Man Digimon that was banished from the Digital World's heaven, and fell to the backwoods of North Bridge Island. Although it usually has a cheerful, joke-cracking personality, if it touches the skulls wrapped around its waist it goes into a fury like a raging fire. That is because if even one of the nine skulls wrapped around its waist is lost it will be transformed into a terrifying Digimon. It possesses the "Kouyouhoujou" staff which demonstrates terrifying destructive power in the super-heavyweight class, it spins it freely to raise a waterspout (Kouyouhoujou: Kamon no Jin), and strikes the ground with its staff to shatter it and release a raging current (Kouyouhoujou: Taki no Jin). Also, for close combat it can stab with the crescent-moon shaped blade (Getsugazan). It is troubled by worrying, "What am I?", so it went on a journey to discover the answer.

Unlike the other Journey to the West Digimon introduced in 2011, Sagomon is a palette swap of a pre-existing Digimon: Shawujinmon, who was also based on and named after Shā Wùjìng. Its design features subtle differences from Shawujinmon, including different body armor, the lack of Shawujinmon's bead necklace, the addition of a belt of skulls, and slightly longer prongs on the crescent moon-shaped blade of its Kouyouhoujou compared to Shawujinmon's Kouyoujou.
Both Digimon resemble the kappa interpretation of Shā Wùjìng, known in Japan as Sa Gojō, found in Japanese adaptations of the novel. The placement of Sagomon's nine skulls around its waist also recalls Japanese illustrations of the character wearing a skull belt, in contrast to the skull necklace described in the original Chinese novel.[1]
Sagomon appears in some of the side events of the game. Its card is part of the Road to India (天竺への道 Tenjiku e no Michi) group, referring to the eponymous Journey to the West in which Sha Wujing and others travel westward to India.
Quote (⇨ Japanese): Although it usually has a cheerful, joke-cracking personality, it will be transformed into a terrifying Digimon if even one of the skulls on its waist is lost. It was banished from heaven, after which it went on a journey to discover itself.
