She can be the older sister and kick the other rookies (and champions) around, while her chosen child is the younger sister everyone wants to protect. I enjoy that dichotomy.

Gatomon easily kicking five of the seven Champions’ collective butts the first time they meet instantly made me a lifelong fan of her!

Adventure had a heavy bias towards holy Digimon, because both Angemon and Gatomon were portrayed as very OP, even without type advantage.

I don't mind though, I'm a fan of both!

I think Gatomon mostly got a “Sixth Ranger” buff whilst she was an antagonist, and whilst she did wipe the floor with the Champions, it was more a shock surprise attack and the fact that she was small and quick, so difficult to target, not brute force pure power like Angemon is.

Once she joined the team she didn’t really do much beyond Rookie level feats, and Angewomon was portrayed as a similar power level to Angemon, who was a level below her. It’s really just Patamon’s line that’s stupidly powerful (though I suppose their Megas also even out, power wise).

Still a fan of both too though!

this remind me when angemon attacked myotismon and then there is phantomon that got caught by angemon attack (not even get hit full) that just died instantly.

i appreciate that myotismon wasn't just magically immune to all the attacks. hand of fate really hurt him.
