Digimon Forms[]
Loweemon[]
Loweemon, True Human Spirit of Darkness.
Loweemon is Kouichi's purified Spirit Evolution. This form is obtained through Kouichi's conviction.
Loweemon is a Warrior Digimon. He truly inherited the "Human Spirit of Darkness" of AncientSphinxmon. The "Human Spirit of Darkness" was changed into its Duskmon form due to Cherubimon's spell, but Loweemon is its true form released from this magical power.
This form is by no means a baleful one, and is called the battling "Valiant Jet-black Warrior" that becomes the shadow of the other Ten Legendary Warriors. Even on his own, Loweemon's power is comparable to "Fusion-species" like Aldamon, and it is said that he conceals his power that puts the others to shame within the "Neebelnge Ring" placed on his right index finger.
As a master of spearmanship, Loweemon is an "Executor of Darkness" that pierces evil with the "Danzai no Yari" (断罪の槍 lit. "Spear of Judgment"), and purifies it with the "Shokuzai no Tate" (贖罪の盾 lit. "Shield of Atonement").
JagerLoweemon[]
JagerLoweemon, True Beast Spirit of Darkness.
JagerLoweemon is Kouichi's purified Beast Form. This form is obtained through Kouichi's conviction.
Like Loweemon, JagerLoweemon is a Warrior Digimon. He truly inherited the "Beast Spirit of Darkness" of AncientSphinxmon.
As with Duskmon, the "Beast Spirit of Darkness" was changed into its Velgemon form due to Cherubimon's spell, but JagerLoweemon is its true form released from this magical power.
JagerLoweemon is called the "Jet-black Lion", and his body is covered in a unique metal which shines jet-black and is called "Obsidian Digizoid", a kind of Chrome Digizoid. For that reason, not only is his defensive ability high, but his body armor has a keen sharpness. It is said that after JagerLoweemon runs through, everything will be cut to pieces by the first gust of that black wind.
