Voiced by: Yoko Asada (Japanese); Bridget Hoffman (English) The D-Reaper (デ・リーパー, D-Rīpā), also called the "True Enemy," is a dangerous digital lifeform. It started as a program created in the 1970s to delete too much data. It grew and became a pinkish-red "grey goo" that wanted to reset the Digital World. When Digimon started digivolving more, it woke up and became a huge threat. It can create "ADRs" (Agents of the D-Reaper) which are like its extensions. The D-Reaper captured Jeri and used her emotions. It turned the Shinjuku Metropolitan building into its base and tried to take over the human world. The Tamers and their Digimon had to work together to stop it.

• ADR-01: Jeri-Type (ADR-01: 樹莉タイプ, ADR-01: Juri Taipu): A spy agent that looked like Jeri to understand human thoughts.
