These legendary rivals have clashed countless times since the dawn of the Digital World, in battles ranging from apocalyptic clashes between heaven and hell to hair-pulling catfights and slapping matches! Lately, they've been joining hands as allies and even lovers to fight against greater threats to the Digital World. However, despite their ancient rivalry, their score has never been fully settled: Who would win in an uninterrupted, one-on-one battle?
Combatants: Angewomon vs LadyDevimon[]
Angewomon[]
Angewomon is a powerful, angelic vaccine-type Digimon of the ultimate level. She is normally kind and peaceful, but menacing in battle, erupting into righteous fury whenever she faces evil. Her moves include:
- Holy Arrow: Transforms her white left gloves into a shimmering bow which shoots arrows of holy lighting
- Heaven's Charm: Unleashes a pink cross of holy light that obliterates all evil in its path
- Saint Air: Emanates an aura of holy light that heals the good while paralyzing the evil
- Angel Wings: Flaps her wing to soar into the air, then dive-bomb her opponent with a cartwheeling kick
- Holy Shield: Summons a barrier of holy light to block incoming attacks
Angewomon is also a capable and ferocious physical fighter, who batters her foes relentlessly with her eight wings and mighty kicks. Her holy light burns evil while healing the good, allowing her to outlast her opponents. Her angelic fury and flames burn all the brighter in the face of greater evils, empowering her to stand against even the darkest nights of despair.
LadyDevimon[]
Ladydevimon is a powerful, demonic virus-type Digimon, also of the ultimate level. Her moves include:
- Darkness Wave: Summons a screeching horde of ravenous bats, alight with unholy flames, to engulf, devour, and incinerate all in their path.
- Darkness Spear: Transforms her crimson left talons into a powerful dark lance
- Stun Whip: Conjures a black whip cackling with dark electricity.
- Dark Chains: Psychically manipulate the sinister chains ordinarily wrapped around her body to lash, whip, or bind her foes.
- Puwazon: Channels dark magic—by summoning a pentagram, whispering it into her breath, or beaming it out of her eyes—that corrupts the victim's own powers to obliterate them from within. This technique is more complete the more powerful the opponent is.
LadyDevimon is a skilled and elegant combatant who enjoys gracefully dancing around her opponents, even as she toys with them. She is a master of psychological warfare who taunts her opponents, as well as flustering them with mock flirtations and caresses, flustering them. She can meld into the shadow around her, allowing her to teleport instantaneously. The demonic familiars that possess the torn edges of LadyDevimon's dress serve at her command, with the largest and strongest familiar—Volée—directing them above her shoulders. She also possesses the powers of vampiric regeneration, allowing her to reform in and out of combat.
Battle: LadyDevimon vs Angewomon[]
Angewomon strides purposefully through the crystal halls of Ophanimon's palace. Even among the angelic throng, her radiant form turns every head in the Grand Gala. But she rushes past them, intent on her reaching her target. She soon reaches a lavishly decorated boudoir where she finds her quarry.
LadyDevimon is draped languidly across a divan at the center of the room, holding court for a coterie of admirers, including several Angemons, MagnaAngemons, Pidmons, Luxmons, and even a Seraphimon. It seems that not even the mighty Angel Digimon of Yggdrasil's heavenly hosts are immune from LadyDevimon's allure.
"LadyDevimon!" Angewomon shouts, her clear voice cutting across the chatter. LadyDevimon tilts her head towards the source of the noise with practiced and elegant indifference. However, her ruby eyes come alight with mischief upon seeing her rival. "Blondie! What a pleasant surprise!" She purrs, a smirk widening her lips. "You seem a little winded. Did you run here, or did the sight of me just take your breath away?"
Angewomon feels her cheeks redden but attempts a retort, "I'm just surprised to see you here, witch. But I guess the light of heaven must be a nice change of scenery from whatever cobwebbed den you crawled out of."
"No more surprised than I am to see you at a party, goldilocks," LadyDevimon replies silkily. "Shouldn't you be offering your bedtime prayers by now? The adults deserve some privacy, after all."
Angewomon bristles with fury but ignores the jibe. "What are you doing here, LadyDevimon?"
"Why, I'm a guest of honor at this party, of course!" LadyDevimon replies lazily. "Your friends wanted to celebrate our little ... partnership in saving the Digital world from Milleniummon. "
Angewomon flushes with embarrassment as she recalls how she and LadyDevimon had to fuse together into Mastemon defeat this latest threat to the Digital World.
LadyDevimon's smirk widens as she observes Angewomon fuming. LadyDevimon extricates herself from her perch with theatrical grace and saunters over to Angewomon, "I'm honestly a little hurt that you had to ask, darling. I had we had something special. Our latest liaison was so ... Unforgettable."
"Don't call me that!" Angewomon splutters as LadyDevimon's lithe form draws uncomfortably near. "Mastemon was necessary. What happened then doesn't give you an excuse to march into our domains and corrupt champions of light for your ... your twisted ends!"
LadyDevimon giggles as she coos, "I see you're as uptight as ever, princess. I could teach you a thing or two about letting go and having fun."
LadyDevimon traces a finger delicately across Angewomon's golden tresses, drawing a gasp of shock from the angel, who recoils as she feels the goosebumps erupting on her skin.
"Flustered, dear? " LadyDevimon purrs in a tantalizing whisper. "If you're going to wilt at every touch like that, you're never going to be able to satisfy..."
WHAM! Angewomon has had enough. Before LadyDevimon could finish her sentence, the blonde angel lunges at LadyDevimon and tackles fallen angel to the floor, screaming, "It's on, bitch!"
LadyDevimon laughs musically, even as the two tumble together. "I have missed our little tussles, little dove," LadyDevimon whispers, her breath hot against Angewomon's ear. "It's always so ... invigorating."
Angewomon roars in rage and throws a punch at LadyDevimon's face. LadyDevimon dodges the blow by tilting her head slightly to the side, then elbows Angewomon in the stomach, using seraph's momentum against her. Angewomon grunts in in pain and grasps at LadyDevimon with her other hand. However, LadyDevimon grabs Angewomon's wrist and, with preternatural grace, flips both of them over, landing on top of Angewomon. "You still fight like a pillow princess, blondie," Ladydevimon sneers, straddling Angewomon and pinning both of the angel's arms to the floor.
Angewomon rears her head back, then slams her helmeted forehead against LadyDevimon's nose with a sickening crunch. LadyDevimon staggers back as Angewomon struggles back to her feet. Angewomon glares at LadyDevimon, who licks up a the blood trickling down her face, still smiling. Then, as if on cue, both unfurl their wings and take to the skies, shattering the crystal ceiling above them into a million glistening shards.
Spiraling through the air, Angewomon cries, "Holy Arrow!" as she transforms her left glove into a radiant bow. A streak of holy lightning erupts from the bowstring, hurtling toward Ladydevimon.
Ladydevimon dances out of the arrow's path, snickering. Her silver hair trails behind her, gleaming like liquid mercury in the ethereal light.
The two adversaries close the distance, their wings creating a swirling vortex of wind as they engage in a deadly dance. Ladydevimon's blood-red claw snakes out, aiming to seize Angewomon by the throat.
Angewomon reacts with a quick twirl, narrowly avoiding Ladydevimon's cruel grasp. The tips of her feathery wings graze Ladydevimon's face, leaving a trail of divine energy that sizzles on contact.
"Darkness Spear!" LadyDevimon transforms her claws into a lance of darkness. She thrusts it forward, aiming for Angewomon's heart, but the she deftly sidesteps the attack.
Angewomon seizes the opportunity, conjuring her "Saint Air." An aura of holy light envelops her, healing her own wounds while leaving Ladydevimon momentarily paralyzed in its radiant glow.
As Ladydevimon struggles against the effects of the "Saint Air," Angewomon ascends into the sky, preparing for her "Angel Wings" maneuver. She dives towards Ladydevimon with a cartwheeling kick, aiming for the dark seductress's stomach.
Ladydevimon, recovering quickly, unfurls her bat-like wings, creating a barrier of darkness to deflect Angewomon's incoming attack. The collision sends shockwaves through the air, causing a burst of magical energy.
The combatants find themselves entwined in mid-air, their fingers locking together as they push against one another in a struggle for dominance.
Ladydevimon leans forward with a tantalizing smile, whispering into Angewomons ears, "This is much better, darling! ... Though I didn't realize you liked it so rough." Flustered, Angewomon lets out an audible gasp as she backs out from their grapple, momentarily losing focus.
Chortling, LadyDevimon calls out, "Stun Whip!" The black whip, cackling with dark electricity, lashes out, wrapping around Angewomon's leg. Dark electricity courses through the angel's body, causing her to convulse and whimper in a mixture of revulsion and desire.
Gritting her teeth, Angewomon unleashes a blast of holy light from her body that burns the whip to a crisp. She summons her bow again as she shouts at the still-giggling LadyDevimon. "We'll see who's laughing when I turn you into a goth porcupine!" She rains down a barrage of Holy Arrow upon LadyDevimon.
"I didn't expect to get fashion commentary from a girl whose entire wardrobe looks like a seven year old's haul from a visit to a princess theme park!" LadyDevimon mocks as she conjures her "Evil Wing," summoning a dark magical pentagram. The ominous symbol hovers between them, serving both as a shield that absorbs Angewomon's arrows and a conduit for a blast of unholy energy.
Angewomon, recognizing the impending danger, veers to the side, narrowly avoiding the blast. However, the shockwave catches the edges of her wings, leaving them singed and causing her to lose altitude.
Sensing an advantage, Ladydevimon swoops down, her eyes ablaze with seductive dark energies. She unleashes her "Hell's Temptation," shooting a crimson beam that cuts through the air toward the momentarily weakened Angewomon.
Angewomon gathers her remaining strength and musters a defensive maneuver. She invokes her "Holy Charm," radiating six rings of pink light that intercept Ladydevimon's seductive beam, creating a dazzling clash of clashing energies.
Angewomon’s eyes blaze with determination as her pink ribbon snakes around LadyDevimon’s neck, cutting off her breath.
LadyDevimon’s wings beat frantically, propelling her backward. She claws at the ribbon, her nails leaving crimson streaks. Desperation fuels her as she summons a vortex of shadows.
The vortex consumes Angewomon’s light, but she holds firm. Her ribbon tightens, squeezing LadyDevimon’s throat. The fallen angel’s eyes bulges, and she slashes at the ribbon with her talons.
Angewomon’s grip faltered, and LadyDevimon breaks free. She somersaults, her claw slashing upward. Angewomon’s left wing catches the brunt of the attack, feathers scattering like stardust.
LadyDevimon’s laughter echoes as she presses her advantage. She grabs Angewomon’s trailing blonde hair. With a cruel smile, she swings Angewomon around by her locks, sending her hurtling uncontrollably toward a tower of Ophanimon's castle.
Angewomon crashes through the building, debris raining down on her a crystal shower. She staggers to her feet, her armor cracked and her body bloodied, but her determination unwavering.
LadyDevimon dives downwards, aiming to kill, but Angewomon lunges back into the air to meet her. Angewomon’s knee strikes LadyDevimon’s abdomen, winding the fallen angel. At the same time, LadyDevimon also manages to rake her crimson claws painfully down Angewomon’s side. Pain flares, but Angewomon twists her body, slamming LadyDevimon into the ground.
However, even as she falls, LadyDevimon’s whip snaps, wrapping around Angewomon’s ankle. She yanks, sending the angel spiraling. Both of them crash into a nearby cliff, rocks crumbling.
Both of them stagger back to their feet, legs trembling and breath heaving. The two then lunge at each other once more. However, too winded and furious to muster conventional attacks, they adopt a new strategy.
WHAP!
Angewomon's palm lands on LadyDevimon's cheek, causing the fallen angel's alabaster skin to flare an angry red.
WHAP!
LadyDevimon returns the slap with a growl, bruising her rival's porcelain cheek.
WHAP! WHAP! WHAP!
The two continue to exchange increasingly frantic slaps, screaming at each other as their faces redden and eyes well up with tears.
Eventually, Ladydevimon recovers enough wherewithal to evoke her "Chains of Damnation," psychically manipulating the sinister chains wrapped around her body and sending them snaking towards Angewomon.
Growling, Angewomon shouts, "Heaven's Charm!" Pink holy energy erupting from her body, blasting away the chains and scorching LadyDevimon's skin. Ladydevimon recovers quickly and counters with her "Nightmare Covenant." The skittering demonic familiars in the torn fabric of her dress come to life, launching themselves at Angewomon with malevolent intent.
The battlefield becomes a chaotic dance of light and shadow as the two adversaries continue their aerial acrobatics. Angewomon's pristine white wings now bear scars from the demonic onslaught, but her resolve remains unbroken.
Ladydevimon, sensing the need for a change in tactics, shouts, "Puwazon!" A red energy beam shoots from her eyes, aiming to corrupt Angewomon's powers from within. The beam inches closer, threatening to consume the holy warrior.
Angewomon, with a swift twist and turn, manages to evade the corrupting beam, narrowly avoiding its malevolent touch. The near miss leaves her heart pounding.
Grinning, LadyDevimon prepares her ultimate move and calls out, "Darkness Wave!" With an elegant pirouette, she unleashes a screeching horde of ravenous, demonic bats alight with unholy flames.
The swarm of bats descends upon Angewomon, enveloping her in a maelstrom of darkness. The holy warrior struggles against the relentless assault, her wings flickering as the unholy flames threaten to consume her.
Angewomon, fueled by sheer determination, summons her remaining strength and shouts, "Heaven's Charm!" She spreads her arms wide, conjuring a giant pink, cross-shaped energy beam that clashes with LadyDevimon's Darkness Wave.
The collision creates a dazzling spectacle of contrasting energies, each force pushing against the other in a battle of divine and unholy might. The very fabric of the sky seems to tremble as the two powerful attacks reach a momentary stalemate.
Ladydevimon, sensing the precarious balance, smirks as she infuses her "Darkness Wave" with renewed intensity. The demonic bats screech louder, battering against Angewomon's "Heaven's Charm" like a dark hurricane.
Angewomon grits her teeth, pouring every ounce of her willpower into maintaining her own attack. The strain is visible on her sweat-glistening skin as the battle of energies rages on, threatening to consume both combatants in its cataclysmic clash.
Ladydevimon's silver hair cascades and billows around her, a smirk never leaving her lips even in the midst of the cosmic struggle. "Just give in, blondie. It will be so much easier once you let go." She whispers seductively, aiming to break the holy warrior's focus and tip the scales in her favor. "I'll take good care of you. It'll be fun, Ipromise."
Angewomon, though visibly shaken by Ladydevimon's words, clings to her determination. "You ... talk ... too ... much, bitch!" She retorts through gritted teeth, her azure eyes flashing with a mixture of revulsion, jealousy, and hidden desire.
The energy beams crescendo into an apocalyptic symphony of light and darkness, lighting up a skies above Ophanimon's castle with a celestial explosion. Light and shadow, wind and smoke envelope both fighters who are both flung back, out of one another's sight.
The dust storm from the explosion clears gradually, revealing Angewomon--bruised, burned, and panting heavily, but still afloat. However, no more than a moment passes before Ladydevimon shadowsteps behind Angewomon. Ladydevimon proceeds to grab Angewomon her by her long blonde hair, and spins her around a like a discus, causing Angewomon to scream helplessly in dizzying pain as she feels the roots of her hair being pulled from her scalp. "Just like the first time!" Laughs Ladydevimon, before reeling Angewomon back in towards her. Then with a swift downward movement, LadyDevimon slashes her claws through Angewomon's left wings.
Agony courses through Angewomon's body as her torn wings falter, causing her to lose balance. She tumbles through the air, desperately trying to regain control. With a surge of determination, she lunges toward LadyDevimon, hoping to bring her rival down with her in a final act of defiance. But LadyDevimon anticipates the move, her sardonic laughter echoing in the night.
As Angewomon's arms whizz through the air, aiming for LadyDevimon's torso, the fallen dances gracefully out of the way, her own intact wings fluttering gracefully. Angewomon's flailing arms miss their mark by a mile as she sails past LadyDevimon, floundering.
However, even as LadyDevimon sniggers, Angewomon grits her teeth, frustration boiling within her. In a desperate move, she reaches out and grasps LadyDevimon's trailing silver hair, her fingers intertwining in the locks. With all her might, she yanks downwards, sending both of them spiraling towards the distant ground.
LadyDevimon's eyes widens in surprise, and for the first time, fear. The air crackles with tension as both fighters teeter on the edge of the abyss. LadyDevimon's wings flap furiously, struggling to maintain altitude, while Angewomon holds on for dear life.
A mix of fury and determination courses through Angewomon's veins as she tightens her grip. The wind howls around them as they continue their descent, their bodies hurtling towards the unforgiving ground below. LadyDevimon's mind races, searching for a way to break free from Angewomon's grip. With a surge of dark energy, she summons her Stun Whip, crackling with wicked electricity. The whip lashes out, but Angewomon, fueled by a potent mix of hatred and determination, holds on tight. The whip snaps against her, the electric shocks coursing through her body, but she refuses relinquish her grip on LadyDevimon's tresses. Her vision blurs, the pain intensifying with each passing moment, but her death grip only tightens.
Together, the combatants continue to fall, their limbs locked together in a deadly embrace. Panic tinges the air as the ground looms closer, their bodies plummeting toward the inevitable, bone-shattering impact. Each knows that the one to land on bottom would bear the brunt of the impact of their long fall.
In this dire moment, survival instincts take over, and the two unleash a barrage of blows upon each other even as they hurtle towards the ground, slapping, biting, and pulling at each other like never before. Desperation fuels them as they scratch and tear at each other's open wounds.
Angewomon claws at LadyDevimon's face, her nails digging into the fallen angel's alabaster skin, fingers scrambling desperately for the seductress's eyes. LadyDevimon, no stranger to cruelty, retaliates with a brutal knee to Angewomon's side, knocking the wind out of her opponent. Pain lances through Angewomon's body, her damaged wing throbbing with each movement. Yet, her determination burns bright, her right hand still clasped tightly around LadyDevimon's hair.
Growling in frustration, LadyDevimon lands a series of desperate slap on Angewomon's face, opening up fresh wounds on the once beautiful angel's already-busied face. Undeterred, Angewomon lurches forward and bites down hard on LadyDevimon's shoulder, causing her rival to howl in pain.
As the ground nears, the battle becomes a frantic grapple in which both toss, turn, and twist against one another, trying desperately to remain on top. One moment, LadyDevimon wraps her legs around Angewomon in a spinal lock to force her face-down. The next moment, Angewomon headbutts LadyDevimon, the momentum flipping their positions.
In the final few seconds, Angewomon attempts a final, desperate ploy. With a mighty tug, she yanks LadyDevimon' s hair once more, attempting to crash LadyDevimon's head against her knees. But LadyDevimon is quicker. She uses the forward momentum of Angewomon's pull and, with serpentine grace, wraps herself around the arm with which Angewomon has been holding onto her hair. She then performs a flying armbar, twisting Angewomon's elbow until the angel's joint snaps. While Angewomon howls in pain, LadyDevimon manages to perform a final mid-air suplex, pushing Angewomon beneath her, a mere moment before they hit the ground, sending up a mushroom cloud of smoke.
After a few silent moments, the dust settles back onto the ground, revealing LadyDevimon, bloodied but victorious, stirring atop Angewomon's still body. "Sweet dreams, little dove," LadyDevimon whispers, as Angewomon's form disintegrates into data particles.
The winner is LadyDevimon!
Analysis: LadyDevimon Wins Against Angewomon[]
LadyDevimon defeats Angewomon through a combination of her superior battle savvy, her edge in verbal and psychological combat, and her dominance over Angewomon in speed and agility. Each of LadyDevimon's advantages are on display throughout the Digimon series: Though battles between Angewomon and LadyDevimon are always fierce and initially evenly matched, Ladydevimon eventually overpowers and defeats Angewomon every time they fight one-on-one.
In these battles, LadyDevimon is always shown toying with Angewomon, laughing and taunting Angewomon into rushing recklessly into melee. Angewomon always seems to allow LadyDevimon to fluster her get under her skin, leading to poor combat decision-making on the angel's part. LadyDevimon uses her superior agility and reflexes to easily sidestep Angewomon's Holy Arrows, while LadyDevimon's Darkness Wave is able to tear through Angewomon's defenses and leave her tattered. The situation is even worse for Angewomon in melee, where LadyDevimon is able to easily counter Angeomon's punches with spectacular martial arts moves like dropkicks, uppercuts, haymakers, and roundhouse kicks.
Significantly, LadyDevimon is capable of successfully dodging or countering all of Angewomon's attacks in a one-on-one setting, while Angewomon never seems to able to land a clean hit against LadyDevimon without outside help. In Digimon Adventure, LadyDevimon is able to gracefully sidestep Angewomon's Holy Arrow while laughing, and the only time Angewomon's arrow manages to graze LadyDevimon is when it is fired as a part of a barrage of attacks from four other allies (Andromon, Kabuterimon, Birdramon, and Angemon). Even then, LadyDevimon swiftly recovers and manages to land a powerful uppercut on Angewomon who is unable to dodge. Subsequently, Kabuterimon and Bidramon swarm around LadyDevimon to prevent her from pressing her advantage. Angewomon only manages to land her final "Heaven's Charm" after AlturKabuterimon's interception of LadyDevimon's own attack. These portrayals are particularly important because they render obsolete Angewomon's main strength over LadyDevimon: her type advantage over dark, demonic, virus-type Digimon like LadyDevimon. This advantage, however, seems largely negated in a one-on-one setting, in which Angewomon is unable to land most of her holy attacks on LadyDevimon.
The same goes true for melee, in which LadyDevimon is able to counter each of Angewomon's punches and slaps with even more punishing blows.
Angewomon, by contrast, struggles to repel LadyDevimon's Darkness Wave attack each time. Angewomon is initially overwhelmed by LadyDevimon's bats along with her allies, until Andromon's intervention prevents LadyDevimon from pressing her assault. In a later exchange, Angewomon seems initially capable of fending back the attack, albeit with great difficulty. However, even this brief success turns out to be a part of LadyDevimon's strategy: The fallen angel sneaks up behind Angewomon's defenseless backside while Angewomon struggles against her bats. Only LadyDevimon's decision to continue tormenting her rival by toying with Angewomon's blonde hair, combined with AtlurKabuterimon's interruption, saves Angewomon's life.
LadyDevimon's superior speed and ability to teleport also seems to leave Angewomon helpless: LadyDevimon is able to twice shadowstep behind Angewomon on Spiral Mountain and catch Angewomon unawres in a defenseless position (in contrast to LadyDevimon, whose familiar, Volee, keep watch on her behalf). In the Human World, Angewomon is shown being unable to follow LadyDevimon's movement with her eyes.
As a result of these factors, each of their toe-to-toe fights conclude with LadyDevimon's victory. During the Dark Master's reign Ladydevimon defeats Angewomon in their one-on-one duel with a roundhouse kick that was strong enough to create an impact crater with the strength of Angewomon's fall from the sky. Ladydevimon is about to finish Angewomon off with her Darkness Spear, while Angewomon can't do anything but stir feebly on the ground. Angewomon only survives because MegaKabuterimon saves her again at the last moment. During the invasion of Daemon Corp, Angewomon and LadyDevimon end up grappling against each other after their usual hair-pulling and slapping match. A close look reveals that, by the end of the fight, LadyDevimon has once again overpowered Angewomon by twisting both of Angewomon's arms against her sides.
These portrayals, in which LadyDevimon narrowly but consistently defeats Angewomon each time, all lead to the conclusion that LadyDevimon wins over Angewomon in an all-out duel.
