00:00How can such a powerless little Digimon even think about defeating us, hmm?
00:05Just call me a crazy little Digimon!
00:07Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're paying our respects to the digital monsters, good,
00:12bad or neutral, who perished in the real and digital worlds.
00:17Chewmon, speak to me, you poor thing!
00:24Mimi!
00:25Number 10.
00:26Arucanimon and Mumimon, Digimon Adventure 02.
00:37Near the end of 02, the insidious Myotismon is reborn as Malomyotismon thanks to the efforts
00:43of his servants, Arucanimon and Mumimon.
00:45Of course, Malomyotismon decides to reward them for their loyalty in a permanent way.
00:51First, he brutally torments Arucanimon, before finally ending her suffering.
01:03Mumimon lashes out at his treacherous master for killing his beloved partner, his anger
01:08overwhelming his fears.
01:10Sadly, Mumimon's bravery doesn't save him, as Malomyotismon disintegrates him out
01:15of existence.
01:16Considering how drawn out Arucanimon's demise was, one could argue that Mumimon got
01:22the better end, given how quick his destruction was.
01:24Either way, not even this devious twosome deserved such a gruesome fate, especially
01:30from someone they dedicated their lives to.
01:40Number 9.
01:41Dark Lizardmon, Digimon Tamers
01:49Under the orders of Yamaki, the covert organization Hypnos has captured a wild Dark Lizardmon
01:55and brought it to their labs.
01:56He has his scientists scan the beast, but it's a pointless procedure.
02:01Dark Lizardmon moans and wails in agony, begging for the torture to end.
02:06Unfortunately, it gets its wish when it evaporates into data at the end of the scan.
02:18Just to add insult to injury, Yamaki has the scientists wipe the data just to make
02:23sure the poor monster is gone for good.
02:26He keeps insisting that Digimon are not real, so killing them doesn't matter.
02:31If that were true, then why does watching Dark Lizardmon suffering fill us with dread?
02:42Number 8.
02:43Waymon, Digimon Adventure
02:53Metal Seadramon was one of the Dark Masters that conquered the digital world, and he set
02:58his sights on our DigiDestined.
03:00Thankfully, the friendly Waymon dives in to save them, carrying them as far away from
03:05the Dark Masters as possible.
03:08Unfortunately, Metal Seadramon catches up to them, and during another battle, Waymon
03:13suffers one of the most gruesome deaths in the series.
03:16Being skewered by Metal Seadramon's attack, his death is swiftly avenged with Metal Seadramon's
03:29destruction, and a small memorial is held for Waymon and everyone slain by the Dark
03:34Masters up to this point.
03:36We're not sure who was affected more, the DigiDestined or the younger audience who had
03:41to watch Waymon's gory demise.
03:50Number 7.
03:51Pumpkinmon and Goatemon, Digimon Adventure
03:57Pumpkinmon and Goatemon were two of Myotismon's goons who were sent to find the 8th DigiDestined
04:04for their master.
04:06Unfortunately for Myotismon, the two would rather goof off than commit any evil deeds.
04:11What's even more unfortunate is that Myotismon doesn't have patience for their shenanigans.
04:16While the two bravely tried to stand up to their former master, it wasn't enough, and
04:21Myotismon wiped them out of existence.
04:33The English dub claims that they were merely imprisoned in Myotismon's dungeon, but we
04:38know what really happened to them.
04:40Even if they were a little annoying, no one deserves a horrific fate for just wanting
04:45to have fun.
04:54Number 6.
04:55Beelzemon, Digimon Fusion
05:04The evil Leilemon is on a massive rampage that threatens to destroy the digital underworld.
05:09Our heroes have a plan to escape the underworld, but it'll be tricky with Leilemon on their
05:14heels.
05:15Fortunately, Beelzemon has a plan to save them all.
05:19He was mortally wounded in the last fight, and his injuries aren't healing.
05:23So he decides to use the very last of his strength to put an end to Leilemon and allow
05:28his friends to escape.
05:35This heroic act is personal for Beelzemon.
05:38He wanted to atone for the wrongdoings he committed when he worked alongside Leilemon.
05:43If giving his life to protect his friends accomplishes that, it was all worth it to
05:47him.
05:55Number 5.
05:56BlackwallGreymon, Digimon Adventure 02
06:06While he was created from pure darkness, BlackwallGreymon wasn't purely evil, but a lost soul seeking
06:12answers about his purpose in life.
06:14It took him a while to finally be at peace with his questions, just in time for him to
06:19make a heroic sacrifice.
06:21Myotismon's spirit has possessed Oikawa and threatens Cody's grandfather.
06:25BlackwallGreymon protects the humans, but gets fatally wounded in the struggle.
06:30Then, in one last-ditch effort, he used his dying body to seal the gate to the digital
06:35world to halt Myotismon's efforts.
06:42BlackwallGreymon's story is truly inspirational.
06:45Created as a weapon of mass destruction, but growing into a hero willing to sacrifice himself
06:50for the greater good.
06:55Number 4.
06:56Wyrmon, Digimon Adventure 02
07:07Even when Ken had enslaved the digital world as the Digimon Emperor, Wyrmon stood by him
07:12out of friendship and loyalty.
07:14However, when Ken creates the monstrous Chimeramon, the little green henchman has had enough.
07:20He sacrifices his life energy to help defeat the abominable Digimon and bring Ken back
07:25to his senses.
07:35He succeeds in the latter, but passes away in Ken's arms, while the former Emperor
07:39watches helplessly as his best friend disappears.
07:43Thankfully, this story has a happy ending, as Wyrmon was reborn later on, and Ken is
07:48given a second chance to make amends for his evil deeds, and he does not disappoint.
08:01Number 3.
08:02Fridgimon, Digimon Data Squad
08:05When Kenan was a young human lost in the digital world, he was found by a motherly Fridgimon.
08:15She took him in as if he were her own son, and took care of him when he was ill.
08:19However, when the horrendous Karata arrived in the digital world and started poaching
08:24Digimon, Fridgimon was tragically among the casualties.
08:35Her dying wish for Kenan was that he wouldn't hate humans, but watching his motherly figure
08:41evaporate before his very eyes was too much for the boy to bear.
08:45His broken heart fuelled his hatred for humans, and given what the foul scientist took from
08:50him, can we really blame him?
08:57Number 2.
08:58Wizardmon, Digimon Adventure
09:06Years ago, Gatomon came across a vagabond named Wizardmon.
09:10She saved the ailing sorcerer from dying of thirst, and he became her closest friend,
09:16wanting to repay her for her kindness.
09:18Many years later, Wizardmon finally repaid his debt, but at a heavy cost.
09:23The cruel Myotismon launched an attack at Gatomon and Kari, but Wizardmon shielded the
09:28two and took the full blast.
09:36As he lay dying, he could only express his gratitude for Gatomon, showing how much their
09:41friendship had meant to him.
09:43Even after his passing, the ghost of Wizardmon still watches over Gatomon, reminding us that
09:48our loved ones are always with us, even in death.
10:11Number 1.
10:12Leomon, Varius
10:22It seems like the name Leomon has become synonymous with death.
10:27Never since his heroic sacrifice in Adventure, there have been multiple instances of a Leomon
10:33being killed off in nearly every season.
10:36One of the most infamous instances was in Tamers, where Leomon was murdered right in
10:41front of his partner, Jerry.
10:43This caused poor Jerry to fall into a deep depression and set the stage for the final
10:47crisis of the season.
10:56These two moments still bring tears to our eyes and lead us to question what the anime
11:00has against Leomon.
11:02Even if Leomon isn't always killed, his alternate counterparts have shared his grisly
11:07fate, which only fuels this tragic running gag.
11:20Who do you think had the most shocking death in the digital world?
