Fiction
Neo is a talented player of the Digimon V-pets and is the undefeated D-1 Champion. Neo's first partner was Greymon, whom he discarded when it kept losing battles, but during his stay in the Digital World, his team of partners expand to include MetalGreymon (digivolved from his original Greymon), Devimon, Ogremon, Kokatorimon, Kuwagamon, and most importantly, Arcadiamon. He is a master of DNA digivolutions, which he exploits with his Devimon and Ogremon, who DNA digivolve to SkullSatamon, and his Kokatorimon and Kuwagamon, who DNA digivolve to Megadramon. However, each of his partners were deleted either by Zeromaru or Neo himself.
Neo and his younger sister Rei befriended Hideto Fujimoto after Neo transferring to his school and beat him in a Digimon V-pet battle. Rei hinted that Hideto is Rei's first friend and that he was much happier now that he had a Digimon Tamer as a friend. One day, Rei was hit by a truck running a red light and was paralyzed as a result. Neo, who cared deeply for his younger sister, refused to accept her disability and sought to recreate the fun times he had together with Rei and Hideto before the accident.
He received Arcadiamon from Daemon, which he used to kill Piedmon and later Rosemon. He later brought it during the invasion upon MagnaAngemon's castle with an army of Airdramon, Devidramon, Vilemon, Devimon, a Boltmon, a Gryphonmon, a Megadramon, a Gigadramon, and VenomMyotismon. His Arcadiamon defeated Leo and MagnaAngemon. Sometime after the invasion and after Rei threatens to stop the fight by jumping off the cliff, Neo and Tai Kamiya stop their rivalry. After the event, Neo befriends Tai and the Alias III again and saves Tai's life. He goes on to win the next D-1 tournament and keeps his friendship with the four in the Real World.
