Production
Producer Nobuharu Takada stated Digimon Beatbreak is aimed at an older audience than previous shows, saying it is aimed at older teens and adults in their twenties. He stated kids like to watch shows aimed at adults, so figured kids would watch it as well.[13] He also Beatbreak was made as there was a gap that needed to be filled in the 9am Fuji TV time slot. As the producer of that time slot, he suggested Digimon — which was accepted.[14]
Plot
The "e-Pulse," which is generated from human thoughts and emotions, is used an energy source for the AI support device "Sapotama." From the shadows of this remarkable development, terrifying monsters called Digimon appear; digital lifeforms that evolve by consuming humans' e-Pulse and must be eliminated by bounty-hunting teams known as Cleaners. Tomoro Tenma is drawn into an extraordinary experience after meeting Gekkomon, who suddenly appears from his Sapotama. While living together with Kyo Sawashiro and other members of the Cleaner team "Glowing Dawn" dedicated to protecting Digimon, Tomoro renews his resolve.
Characters
Glowing Dawn
The main characters belong to a group known as Glowing Dawn (グローイングドーン).
The Glowing Dawn was initially going to be named Golden Dawn (ゴールデンドーン), but the name was changed a month before the series officially aired.[15][16]
- Tomoro Tenma (天馬 トモロウ)[17]
- Tomoro Tenma is a teenage boy characterized by his distinctive appearance, critical outlook, and a rare e-Pulse that disrupts Sapotamas and attracts Digimon. Ostracized from a young age due to these malfunctions, he grows up relying on his close bond with his older brother Asuka whose injury and later Cold Heart condition deeply shape Tomoro's motivations. After their parents are arrested by the World Union under unusual and mysterious circumstances, Tomoro becomes distrustful of authority and artificial intelligence, sympathizing with Digimon who are treated as "glitches" by society. His life changes when he partners with Gekkomon and becomes involved with the group Glowing Dawn, gradually learning to trust others, confront his resentment and past, and accept both his abilities and himself.
- Gekkomon (ゲッコーモン)[17]
- A gecko-themed Digimon and the partner of Tomoro. Gekkomon is a Digimon that first emerges from Tomoro Tenma's Sapotama, initially attacking him to claim his e-Pulse before forming an unstable partnership. Though openly motivated by his desire for Tomoro’s e-Pulse, Gekkomon repeatedly protects him in battles against Hyemon and other threats, displaying notable speed and strength. Over time, he becomes involved with Glowing Dawn, where his gluttony and impulsive behavior—such as stealing food and causing minor chaos—contrast with moments of loyalty and concern for Tomoro. Despite their frequent clashes and mutual distrust, Gekkomon gradually settles into the group as Tomoro’s partner, accompanying him on missions and daily life while maintaining his mischievous, self-serving nature. He can also evolve into the Champion level armadillo girdled lizard-themed Armalizamon (アルマリザモン) and the Ultimate level armored Giganotosaurus-themed Monarchlizamon (モナークリザモン).
- Reina Sakuya (咲夜レーナ)
- Reina Sakuya is a teenage girl noted for her striking red-orange hair, green eyes, and bold fashion sense. A self-described "loose cannon" of Glowing Dawn, she frequently charges into the front lines to draw enemy attention, often exhausting her e-Pulse in the process. It was also revealed, when she was young, she had no family for unknown reasons. Despite her reckless tendencies, she is deeply loyal to the group, whom she regards as her family after being transferred between multiple cleaner teams. Outside of combat, Reina enjoys almond jelly and collecting plush toys, and harbors a strong dislike of snakes.
- Pristimon (プリスティモン)
- A Pristinailurus-themed Digimon and the partner of Reina. Pristimon has a big sister personality and grew up with Reina from a young age. She likes black tea and the fragrance of it. However, Pristimon dislikes strong perfumes. She can also evolve into the Champion level wolverine-themed Wolvermon (ウルヴァモン).
- Makoto Kuonji (久遠寺マコト)
- Makoto Kuonji is a young boy with blond hair and blue eyes who serves as Glowing Dawn's primary analyst, handling reconnaissance and logistical tasks often avoided by his teammates. Born in the Shangri-La Egg to a wealthy family, he was suddenly cast out due to his partnership with Chiropmon. Quiet and introspective, Makoto views himself as physically weaker and emotionally reserved compared to others, but ultimately comes to accept these traits as part of his identity, embracing Chiropmon as a reflection of his true self.
- Chiropmon (キロプモン)
- A bipedal hooded bat-themed Digimon and the partner of Makoto. Chiropmon has an otaku personality and isn't satisfied until he checks out anything that catches his eye. He has a habit of muttering to himself. Chiropmon also likes observing Digimon but doesn't like crowds. He can also evolve into the Champion level humanoid bat-themed NightChiropmon (ナイトキロプモン).
- Kyo Sawashiro (沢城キョウ)
- Kyo Sawashiro is a young man and the leader of Glowing Dawn, as well as a former member of the elite Five-Stars. A prodigy Cleaner and longtime friend of Asuka Tenma, he is known for his calm demeanor and strong sense of familial loyalty, referring to his friends and companions as his "family." Unlike most Cleaners, Kyo seeks coexistence between humans and Digimon, secretly protecting apprehended Digimon at the Nirinso Shelter rather than handing them over for deletion. His compassion comes at a personal cost, as he regularly uses his own e-Pulse to sustain them, leaving him physically weakened despite his fondness for cooking, sewing, and domestic life.
- Murasamemon (ムラサメモン)
- An Ultimate Level humanoid leonine Digimon and partner of Kyo that wields a sword with a cougar-shaped hilt. He regresses to his Champion Level, the bobcat-themed Cougarmon (クーガモン), while resting.

Distinguished by his long dark blue hair, measured demeanor, and preference for hair oil, he often presents himself in traditional Chinese-style attire accented with yellow ornaments. Operating from the shadows, Genjo orchestrates indirect confrontations through his subordinate Gokuumon, notably intervening in the battle between Gekkomon and Hyemon to seize a Sapotama containing Asuka Tenma's e-Pulse.

He chides Kyo for struggling against the target and assaults Tomoro out of the belief that the boy was responsible, but to his disgust, Kyo prostrates himself rather than rise to the provocation.
