| Kanji/Kana | クロスハート |
| Dub Name | Fusion Fighters[1] Xros Heart[2] |
| General | Kudou Taiki |
Xros Heart (クロスハート Kurosu Hāto), also romanized as Cross Heart[3], originally named during development as Dumdum Rocks (ダムダムロックス Damudamu Rokkusu)[4], and known as the Fusion Fighters in the English dub, is a Digimon Army led by General Kudou Taiki in Digimon Xros Wars. Its core members include Taiki's partner Shoutmon and the Digimon who fight alongside him through DigiXros. As the conflict with the Bagra Army develops, the group gains new members and allies, including Digimon from other Zones and members of Twilight and Blue Flare. Xros Heart and its allies ultimately defeat the Bagra Army and restore the Digital World.
The name is also used for a street basketball team formed by Taiki after the war in Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time.
Description
Xros Heart begins with the Digimon accompanying Shoutmon in Green Zone. After Taiki receives a Xros Loader and helps them repel an attack by the Bagra Army, Shoutmon recognizes him as their General. Taiki's ability to perform DigiXros enables members of the group to combine their strengths in battle. Shoutmon seeks to become the Digimon King so that he can protect other Digimon, while Taiki repeatedly chooses to help those threatened by the Bagra Army.
The army's composition changes over the course of the story. Its core members travel between Zones, where they are joined by Digimon they have helped and by former opponents. Amano Nene and the members of Twilight loyal to her later join Xros Heart. Xros Heart also fights alongside Aonuma Kiriha and Blue Flare; cooperation between the two armies is central to their confrontation with the Bagra Army.

Digimon Xros Wars & The Evil Death General and the Seven Kingdoms
Taiki, Hinomoto Akari and Tsurugi Zenjirou arrive in Green Zone after Taiki answers Shoutmon's call for help. There, they meet Shoutmon, Ballistamon and the Starmons and become involved in their fight against the Bagra Army. Taiki uses his Xros Loader to perform DigiXros during the battle against Mad Leomon, and Shoutmon subsequently calls him a General.
Xros Heart travels through the Digital World, opposing the Bagra Army's attempts to conquer its Zones and adding new companions along the way. Its membership expands beyond Shoutmon's original group, while its relationships with Twilight and Blue Flare change from rivalry to cooperation. In the final confrontation, Xros Heart and its allies unite their powers against Darkness Bagramon.
Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time
One year after the defeat of the Bagra Army, Taiki uses the name Xros Heart for his street basketball team with Amano Yuu and Akashi Tagiru. Taiki later reunites with Shoutmon and other former companions during the events involving DigiQuartz.

Digimon Story: Super Xros Wars Blue & Red
Kudou Taiki leads Xros Heart in both versions. A mysterious melody transports him and his companions to the LS-tou Zone, where they meet Spadamon, a Weapon Digimon whose lost memories and abilities are connected to the Zone's history. The encounter draws Xros Heart into a conflict with the invading ROG Organization.
Shortly after their arrival, the army's members are separated and captured. Spadamon helps Taiki and Shoutmon escape imprisonment at Sky Fort, and they begin rescuing their companions. Ballistamon is held in the fort's DigiLab, where ROG's agents attempt to obtain its power through the laboratory's combination system. Dorulumon is later forced to fight the group when Minervamon holds Cutemon hostage.
Xros Heart establishes its base at Sky Fort and helps restore the Condenser Towers that supply its energy. Akari and Zenjirou remain at the fort to support their companions and the local inhabitants while Taiki explores the Zone. As the towers are reactivated, Spadamon gradually recovers its memories and strength. It becomes a member of Xros Heart, and its weapon transformations enable combinations such as Shoutmon X4S and Shoutmon X5S.
The army also recovers Sparrowmon, which Archnemon uses as bait after it has been manipulated through an illusion. Following Archnemon's defeat, Shoutmon welcomes Sparrowmon into Xros Heart and sends it to Sky Fort to rest. Later, Dynasmon brings Beelzebumon to the Zone after noticing its search for the missing army.
In Blue, Xros Heart clashes with Kiriha and Blue Flare over Spadamon. In Red, it instead encounters Nene and Twilight, with Nene acting under the influence of a dark power. After Barbamon expels Kiriha or Nene from the Zone, their Digimon temporarily cooperate with Taiki. Greymon and Mail Birdramon can join the player's army in Blue, while the authentic Skull Knightmon and Deadly Axemon offer their assistance in Red. This cooperation enables the original DigiXros combinations Shoutmon X3GM and Shoutmon X3SD, respectively.
Barbamon's occupation of the Condenser Towers activates a Protect Field that prevents Xros Heart from returning to Sky Fort. The group uses Earth Fort as a temporary base while recovering the towers. At Stealth Valley, Dynasmon returns Spadamon's remaining memories and tests its companions in battle. Taiki and Shoutmon agree to help Spadamon protect the Zone, and Spadamon restores the additional Condenser System, removing the barrier around Sky Fort at the cost of the energy sustaining Dynasmon's remaining data.
Xros Heart pursues Barbamon into Lost Space and the Omega Area, where it attempts to revive Armamon through System Omega. After awakening, Armamon transforms Barbamon into its weapon and turns against the army. Following its initial defeat, it combines with Barbamon and System Omega to become Omega Armamon Burst Mode, intending to gather enough data to reconstruct Dynasmon. Spadamon seals the Omega Area to contain it, and Xros Heart defeats it in the final battle.
When Armamon's collapsing Digicore produces a black hole, Spadamon sends Taiki and Shoutmon back to Sky Fort and stays behind. It subsequently returns and chooses Taiki as its warrior, presenting him with the Zone's Code Crown. Taiki also receives the LS Sword and LS Shield in both versions. On learning that accepting the crown requires Taiki to train Spadamon until it can properly defend the Zone, Xros Heart agrees to remain and help.

Xros Heart is a Trait given to both Digimon and Tamer cards in the Digimon Card Game, introduced in BT-10 Xros Encounter. It is given to Digimon (such as BT10-008 Shoutmon) and Tamers (such as BT10-087 Kudou Taiki) that were part of the Xros Heart army in the Digimon Xros Wars anime and manga. Xros Heart cards focus mostly on performing DigiXrosses with several materials at once, greatly lowering the memory cost of the Digimon Card played, with support abilities allowing them to regain materials or use them from below their Tamer cards, simplifying the process.
