As a child, Masaru's father - the brilliant scientist Daimon Suguru - departed from the Human World into the Digital World on an expedition to explore it, and discover the whereabouts of humans that had disappeared into the alternate reality. Ten years later, Masaru - a very strong brawler, and the self-proclaimed "Number One Street Fighter in Japan" - happens upon a Digimon that was under the custody of the Digital Accident Tactics Squad (DATS), named Agumon. The human and Digimon meet in battle, and by communicating with their fists, come to an understanding and close friendship. Soon joining DATS as the first line of defense against wild Digimon appearing in his world, Masaru utilizes the power of "Digi-Soul" in order to empower Agumon and have him evolve into the stronger forms of GeoGreymon and RizeGreymon. Together with fellow agents, Fujieda Yoshino and Touma H. Norstein, Masaru and Agumon battle every threat that comes their way.
Until, that is, the involvement of incidents with Mercurimon, an Ultimate level Digimon that appears to be behind threats leveled against them. The three DATS agents travel to the Digital World to investigate, only to encounter a young boy named Ikuto who believes himself to be a Digimon and hates humans, because of the death of his foster mother Yukidarumon at the hands of human soldiers. While Touma and Yoshino grow in their own power, Masaru battles the boy several times, trying to - literally - beat sense into him.
Inevitably, the boy is forced to see the error of what he was doing, but not before the true enemy comes to light - Kurata Akihiro, believed to at first just be a scientist and researcher working under the Japanese government, reveals his intentions to obliterate all Digimon. And, that he was behind the attack years ago that claimed Yukidarumon's life.
Though Mercurimon dies saving the DATS agents, Ikuto joins their side. Kurata - along with the Japanese government's backing and his own subordinates, Kouki, Nanami, and Ivan - sets out on a mission of genocide against the Digital World. Masaru and the others fight him every step of the way, and encounter a new ally - BanchouLeomon. BanchouLeomon teaches them the art of unlocking the true potential of their Digi-Soul, and Masaru, Touma, and Yoshino evolve their Digimon to their final stages - ShineGreymon, MirageGaogamon, and Rosemon, respectively. The battle with Kurata claims many lives, and for a time, it seems Touma betrays them, forcing Masaru into a bout of anger that ends up killing and reverting Agumon back into a Digi-Egg.
While it's revealed Touma was acting in order to save his little sister from a bomb Kurata had attached to her, Kurata unveils his true intentions - summoning the power of the ancient Demon King Belphemon, to harness it and take over the world. Masaru - Agumon reborn with his memories intact - and the others fight him, with Masaru eventually unlocking the power of ShineGreymon Burst Mode in order to defeat both Kurata and Belphemon.
The resulting battle trashes the barrier between realities, threatening to make both Human and Digital Worlds collide. It's only barely held up by the power of BanchouLeomon literally holding the two worlds apart. Masaru & the others seek out the god of the Digital World, Yggdrasil, only to be forced into a battle with the Royal Knights and see that Yggdrasil is in fact Masaru's father, Suguru.
While Touma, Ikuto, and Yoshino fight to defend the Human World and end up unlocking the power of Burst Mode themselves, Masaru and Agumon venture towards Yggdrasil to set things right and find out what's going on. Masaru battles Royal Knight Craniummon, and with the assistance of his friends defeats him... and battles his "father." Masaru is saved by the timely reappearance of BanchouLeomon, who reveals HE is Suguru - or rather, he is Suguru's Digimon partner with Suguru's soul inside him. Masaru is forced to kill his father in order to defeat Yggdrasil... but even still, Yggdrasil revives and continues fighting.
In the end, with the assistance of the Royal Knights defecting from Yggdrasil, and the power of everyone over the world's Digi-Souls... Masaru and the others defeat Yggdrasil, and Suguru is revived. As the Digimon are prepared to be sent back to the Digital World in order to repair the barrier, Masaru leaves with them to continue traveling with Agumon and become a better man.
