Digimon Data Squad

***Digimon Data Squad***, known in Japan as ***Digimon Savers*** (デジモンセイバーズ *Dejimon Seibāzu*), is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation, serving as the fifth series in the *Digimon* franchise, the first to be produced in four years following 2002's *Digimon Frontier*. The series aired in Japan on Fuji TV between April 2, 2006 and March 25, 2007. An English-language version was produced by Studiopolis in conjunction with Toei Animation USA and Disney Enterprises and aired in North America on Jetix (and subsequently Disney XD) between October 1, 2007 and November 1, 2008. It aired in the United Kingdom on Kix!. A movie based on the series was released in Japan on December 9, 2006.[1] The series was later succeeded by *Digimon Fusion*.

A 16-year-old boy, Marcus Damon, an undefeated ultimate fighter (street fighter in the original Japanese version), meets Agumon, who has escaped from the Digital Accident Tactics Squad (DATS), a secret government organization set up to defend the human world from invading wild Digimon. After fighting each other, the two quickly become friends, and through a series of events, are inducted into DATS, where they hope to grow in strength.

Marcus' team-mates include the 16-year-old Thomas H. Norstein, a young prodigy, with his partner Gaomon, and 18-year-old Yoshino "Yoshi" Fujieda who has Lalamon for her partner. As the series progresses, Thomas discovers that Digimon respond to the "darkness" in humans, putting them at odds with monsters who seek to use humanity's own vices to bolster their own power.

## Episode 3

Marcus (known as Masaru in the original version) has successfully proved himself during the first two episodes. In episode 3, Thomas (originally Touma) comes back to re-join DATS for further important missions. He is initially ignoring Marcus, who becomes seriously annoyed by Thomas' high and mighty attitude. As Thomas proposes that Marcus should be kicked out, Marcus tries to punch him and challenges Thomas to a boxing match.

Marcus wants to fight Thomas man to man to prove his fighting ability and to make Thomas regret his behavior. He furiously attacks Thomas with a series of energetic but clumsy punches, which the latter one can easily dodge. Regarding Thomas' question why he joined DATS, Marcus says that he wants to fight strong opponents. As Thomas blocks another punch, he **gives Marcus a solid punch to his stomach**. Not being able to brace for the impact, Marcus takes the full force of Thomas' fist to his abdomen. While the girls are squealing in joy, Marcus is **grunting and holding his stomach** in pain.
After another one of Marcus' failed attacks, Thomas decides to finish the match by hitting Marcus straight in his face, knocking him down for the count. Marcus refuses to give up, though, and attacks Thomas as he is about to leave the ring. Infuriated by this unfair attack, Thomas frantically attacks Marcus and knocks him down.
