Biography[]

Digimon Fusion (Xros Wars) (anime)[]

SkullKnightmon is the leader of the Midnight Army, along with Axemon, though he spends most of his time as AxeKnightmon. It’s been later confirmed that he is Bagramon's younger brother. When the Darkness Loader was complete, AxeKnightmon eventually combined the Midnight Army, betrayed Nene and joined the Bagra Army as he commands the Dark Generals, and Ewan (Nene’s younger brother) became the Midnight general. He is the admiral of the Demon's Nest/Bagra Pandemonium and second-in-command of the entire Bagra Army, answerable only to Lord Bagra.

AxeKnightmon eventually has Laylamon, Blastmon and her servants demoted and forced to join his Midnight Army. After Ewan and Tuwarmon are cornered, AxeKnightmon makes his grand entrance along with the new recruits of his army to aid Ewan, who combines them, and later disengages AxeKnightmon into SkullKnightmon and Axemon. With Tuwarmon fusing with Axemon to become Deadly Tuwarmon to handle the Fusion Fighters, eventually, the tables turn on them, forcing Ewan to revert the DigiFusion and bring back AxeKnightmon. Ewan proceeds to fuse AxeKnightmon and Tuwarmon into MusoKnightmon to end the conflict while Laylamon is keeping them busy. However, despite MusoKnightmon's usage of Super-Powered Rumble Breaker ability, Shoutmon and MetalGreymon Digivolve into OmegaShoutmon and ZekeGreymon and push the beams back, creating an explosion that seemingly wounds the Twilight Army, but they disappear quickly through the rift.

Having known of Apollomon's true personality beforehand, AxeKnightmon had implanted a failsafe into the Digimon that would overtake him and become the true Death General they desired. With the creation of Apollomon Whispered, AxeKnightmon prepares for the war in Hell's Field as the Admiral of the Demon's Nest and fights against Shoutmon, while his comrades take care of Beelzemon and Mervamon. After defeating Shoutmon, AxeKnightmon arrives to personally see the end of the Fusion Fighters and disengages himself into SkullKnightmon and DeadlyAxemon to deal with them. As Apollomon Whispered begins his plans to obliterate everyone, including his own comrades to serve and even usurp the throne from Lord Bagra by bringing in Lilithmon's fusion, SkullKnightmon saves Ewan and Damemon before they are about to fall to their demise and take refuge in a safe zone. SkullKnightmon asks Ewan about DeadlyAxemon's whereabouts since his inter-dimensional axe can allow them to escape, only to realize he is severely wounded and recuperating in the Darkness Loader. After the gateway to the Bright Land is opened, SkullKnightmon flies quickly through the gateway and escapes.

After the Death Generals were defeated for the first time, AxeKnightmon decides to finally step up their plans. He proceeds to create a false mirage of the Demon's Nest and greets the Fusion Fighters under the guise of Lord Bagra (though Nene has a feeling she knows him), and mocks their bravery, ending the facade and revealing himself openly. He answers the party's questions related to the corrupted Code Crown, and reveals that the Bagra Army is collecting negative energy and infusing it into the Code Crown to transform it into the Dark Stone, a dark variant of the original Code Crown. As a demonstration of the corrupted artifact's power, he proceeds to revive all the Death Generals as mindless slaves. He then processes to combine all seven Death Generals so they can become GrandGeneramon, though the plan fails as the Revival Circuit brought by the Dark Stone to resurrect the Death Generals is destroyed, erasing their data forever.

After the Dark Generals were defeated for a second time, AxeKnightmon and Bagramon decided to fight against the Fusion Fighters. Having secondary motives, AxeKnightmon attempts to convince Ewan to join the fight, but the young man is traumatized over Damemon's demise. With his deception revealed, AxeKnightmon tries to capture Ewan, but fails. However, Chuchumon captures the boy and AxeKnightmon places him in a power generating device which would power the Darkness Loader for his true intentions: to absorb Lord Bagra's data and become the strongest Digimon. Lord Bagra asks AxeKnightmon as to why he couldn't get rid of the Fusion Fighters which would have eased their plans for D5, to which the knight replies that he wanted the humans to see the impending doom with their own eyes, though the true reason was to use them as a distraction to keep his elder brother occupied.

DarkKnightmon betrays Bagramon

AxeKnightmon betraying Bagramon.

However AxeKnightmon's true intention was revealed during the fight. AxeKnightmon wanted to steal his brother's power, so he both betrayed and stabbed Bagramon in the back, and absorbed his older brother's data to form Darkest AxeKnightmon. He explains to the Fusion Fighters about the rivalry between his brother and how it affected him. He demonstrates his newfound power by using Hand of Doom to obliterate them, but it fails as they hide in a small valley slit. With the empowered Darkness Loader in hid hand, he attempts to absorb everyone's Digimon forcefully from their Fusion Loaders, but the plan fails as Mikey, with aid from Mervamon and Knightmon destroy the power generating device, rendering the Darkness Loader useless permanently. Enraged at this but denying his defeat, AxeKnightmon proceeds to use the Hand of Doom once more in a final bid to obliterate his opponents once and for all, but the Fusion Fighters, with Shoutmon X7 repel his attack back, which shocks him. As he is unable to comprehend his own power being weaker compared to the Fusion Fighters, a voice booms in his head. A confused AxeKnightmon asks to whom the voice belongs to, and it replies itself to be Lord Bagra himself. A shocked AxeKnightmon is forcefully sent into his own psyche as Lord Bagra manifests himself, revealing that he only absorbed his data rather than kill him. Having known of his intentions from the start since he pushed the D5 plan's completion, Lord Bagra mocks him for proudly flying the banner of nobility when he wasn't worthy of being one, and then killed his younger brother as revenge for betraying him, altering their appearance to form the true Megadarkness Bagramon.

Digimon Xros Wars (manga)[]

DarkKnightmon is one of the main villains in the Manga version of Digimon Xros Wars. He's the leader of the Magna version of the Twilight Army. DarkKnightmon actually has multiple alternate forms. All of them are his Darkness Mode but he absorbs several Digimon to make himself stronger. He eventually absorbed Millenniummon and became ZeedMillenniummon.

Digimon Adventure:[]

While SkullKnightmon fought Agumon and Gabumon in their Champion forms and later Ultimate forms, SkullKnightmon asked Devimon to make his Digivolve, and Devimon granted his wish and used Millenniummon’s dark crystal to Digivolve her to AxeKnightmon. He got the upper hand while fighting MetalGreymon and WereGarurumon until WereGarurumon became his Sagittarius Mode for the first time and wiped out AxeKnightmon, destroying Devimon’s castle (which was actually ElDradimon) and saving Takeru and Angemon’s Digi-Egg.

Having survived the destruction, AxeKnightmon digivolved a weakened NeoDevimon into DanDevimon before retreating and escaping with DarkMaidramon. When Taichi and the other Digidestined arrived at the Server Continent, AxeKnightmon attacks them, and Patamon Digivolves to Angemon to fight him. He attempts to kidnap Kari, Tai’s little sister, but was interfered by Angemon. As they clashed, their fight caused the Digidestined and their partners flying away into separate areas of the Continent, and forcing AxeKnightmon to de-Digivolve back to SkullKnightmon and Angemon to de-Digivolve back to Patamon.

After kidnapping Taichi’s little sister, Kari, SkullKnightmon Digivolves to AxeKnightmon once again. He uses Kari as an attempted sacrifice for the Vademon group to resurrect Millenniummon. While AxeKnightmon unleashes his Undead Soldier attack on Tai and Greymon, T.K. and Pegasusmon hold the dead spirits off while Tai and Greymon continue to rescue Kari. Greymon becomes MetalGreymon to fight AxeKnightmon (now a gigantic size), but was overpowered by AxeKnightmon’s new spear rockets attack. However, Tai and Agumon refuse to give up rescuing his sister, and Agumon becomes WarGreymon, and manage to fend off the spear rockets with his Great Tornado attack and break through AxeKnightmon’s armored chest. Tai and WarGreymon rescue Hikari and Gatomon’s spirit and destroy AxeKnightmon, reverting back to her true form, Gatomon.

Digimon Ghost Game[]

AxeKnightmon's head was cut off from his body after the portal that connects the Digital and Human world closes, but his head is still conscious to see thing despite cut off from his body, later his head was fetched and used for exhibitions and auctions and finally as a collection in Hiro's boarding school. A headless AxeKnightmon starts attacking the students in Hiro's school (includes Kiyoshiro), as well as a teacher, the people who were attacked will faint, and spirits of headless soldiers will emerge. When Hiro and Ruli interfaces AxeKnightmon, he gives back AxeKnightmon's head, and AxeKnightmon turns every victims back to normal as Hiro pleads. AxeKnightmon then says that how his head was used for exhibition was undervaluing his reputation, and starts attacking Hiro and Ruli, BetelGammamon and SymbareAngoramon was defeated by ease, but Gammamon's strives allowed Hiro's Ruli and Kiyoshiro's bracelet to alter into a new form. Gammamon Warp Digivolves to Canoweissmon and uses "Gran Nova" to fight against AxeKnightmon's "Twin Spear", the combined forces cause both attacks to explode, and causes both of them to blowed out.

Abilities and powers[]

AxeKnightmon is a skilled fighter and jouster. In Digimon Adventure:, AxeKnightmon has new attacks such as dark energy powers, size change, and fire spear rockets at the opponent. His Undead Soldier technique has the power to summon spirits of the dead to attack the enemy. In Digimon Fusion, he is extremely swift and powerful enough to take down two powerful MegaKabuterimon while running, not to mention his reaction speed to their immediate appearance. His endurance is also noteworthy, thanks to the shoulder blade he is armed with, and was able to easily fend off against Shoutmon X4 while pushing him with a slam from the blade. The same blade is capable of shattering walls between dimensions, allowing him to easily move from any dimension to another, regardless of distance.

He can disengage from his fused form and once again fuse to become SkullKnightmon Mighty Axe Mode, a powerful fusion that employs the use of Axemon, his partner Digimon as a large, sturdy axe that can create a powerful energy slash and at the same time spin in terrifying speeds to attack the opponent. These attacks are strong enough to take down Digimon as strong as Shoutmon X4B and MetalGreymon with ease.
