D-Cyber / Digimon D-Cyber () is a Chinese Digimon manhua, which was released by Rightman Publishing Ltd. in Hong Kong, China on February 17, 2005. It is based on the adventures of Lóng Zhìguāng, Fāng Shēngjiàn, Luò Huī, and a young girl named Āměi. It introduces the concept of X-antibody Digimon, but their origin is different from that in the Japanese Digimon Chronicle.
Synopsis
Ten thousand years ago, a great and powerful Digimon was defeated and sealed away by the Royal Knights as the "Digi Core". Years later, a virus infected the digital world, leaving only those that possessed the X-Antibody remaining. The only members of the Royal Knights remaining are Omega of Power (Omnimon X), Duke of Courage (MedievalGallantmon/Gallantmon X), and Magna of Miracles (Magnamon X).
At the start of the series, the "God of Death" MetalPhantomon draws Lóng, Āměi, Fāng, and Luò into the digital world. Originally, Lóng is left alone with his Digimon (which starts out as a Dorumon), and has to battle his friends Luò and Fāng, who are under MetalPhantomon's control.
At one point, MetalPhantomon steals the "Dragon Spirit" of Lóng's partner, who is now a Dorumon. While MetalPhantomon uses it to revive the Digi-Core, Lóng, Luò , and Fāng learn from Omega of Power that they can get a new Dragon Spirit from Duke of Courage - with this, they can save Dorumon's life. But when they arrive in Duke's area of the Digital World, they are given a series of tests by Duke's servant, MameTyramon.
After completing the tests and battling Duke himself, they manage to earn Dorumon a new Dragon Spirit. However, now they must battle MetalPhantomon, who has resurrected the Digi-Core as Dexmon. In the end, Lóng and the others manage to save their friend Āměi, who was sealed inside Dexmon, and return to the real world.
Characters
Humans and Digimon Partners
Zhìguāng Lóng
The main character and characteristic "goggle boy". Though somewhat irresponsible and foolhardy, he manages to come through for his friends, as well as save his Digimon when his Dragon Spirit is lost.
Dorumon
Dorumon is Zhìguāng's Digimon partner, and gets very angry when his partner does not live up to his responsibility for him. In the end, he is revealed to actually be Alphamon, the leader of the Royal Knights from long ago. Dorumon is initially only shown becoming a Dorugoramon, and later, a DexDoruGreymon and then DexDorugoramon through Death-X Evolution. After losing his Dragon Spirit, he becomes Grademon, then Alphamon and lastly Alphamon (Ouryuuken) in the final battle.
Fāng Shēngjiàn
Zhìguāng and Luò's friend. Temporarily controlled by MetalPhantomon. Fāng believes that wisdom is just as good as raw power, and is a good strategist.
Ryudamon
Fāng's partner. He is very respectful, and calls Fāng his master. Fāng's partner is originally a Gaiomon, but is defeated by Zhìguāng's DexDorugoramon. It reverts into a Digi-Egg, and temporarily becomes a DexDorugamon through Death-X Evolution. Finally, it is revived as a Ryudamon. Ryudamon eventually becomes a HisyaRumon, and after receiving power from the Royal Knights, gains the ability to become Ouryumon. Then, finally, Ouryumon becomes the blade that allows Alphamon Ouryuken to destroy Dexmon.
Luò Huī
Luò is the young friend of Zhìguāng and Fāng. Short and timid, but manages to rise to the occasion in several instances. He was briefly controlled by MetalPhantomon.
Agumon X
Agumon X is Luò's Digimon partner, and is sometimes played up for comic relief. When Luò is controlled by MetalPhantomon, Agumon X first appears as a MetalGreymon X. Later, Luò manages to help it become a Greymon X and after receiving power from the Royal Knights, Agumon gains the ability to become an Omekamon.
Āměi
Zhìguāng, Fāng, and Luò's friend. She was sealed within Dexmon until she was rescued by Zhìguāng and Grademon.
