Crest of Courage

The Crest of Courage (勇気の紋章, Yūki no Monshō) is Yagami Taichi’s crest. It is engraved with a stylized sun pattern.

Overview
The Crest of Courage was the first crest obtained by the Chosen Children. It was discovered on a wall at the end of a secret escape cavern in Koromon Village in the Server Continent, when the Chosen Children flee Etemon's attacks. The crest was collected by Taichi, allowing them to escape the collapsing cavern.

When Taichi first tries to force Agumon to evolve, the crest is temporarily corrupted, turning black and causing Greymon to dark evolve into SkullGreymon.

It first glows properly when Taichi risks his own life to save Takenouchi Sora when she is held captive by Nanomon. When it was first activated it allowed Agumon to super-evolve into MetalGreymon and defeat Etemon. Later it is used to warp evolve Agumon into WarGreymon during the fight against VenomVamdemon.

Its physical form was later destroyed by Apocalymon, and in May 2000 Taichi surrendered its power to free one of the Four Holy Beasts from the bonds placed upon them by the Dark Masters.

Its emblem can also be found on the Digimental of Courage and on Fladramon’s back, as well as on WarGreymon and Omegamon's Brave Shields.
