| Omega 「オメガ」
1} l., Omega (Ω) is the 24th and final letter of the Greek alphabet.
2} n., "Omega" has developed a symbolic meaning where it represents or describes the end, or the ultimate, of a sequence or category. For example, in many translations of the Book of Revelation, the Abrahamic God and Jesus are referred to as "the Alpha and the Omega," symbolizing them as the beginning and end of all things. (Digimon also alludes to this by frequently presenting Alphamon as a countepart of Omegamon's.)
| Merciful1} adj., The ability to show mercy to others; i.e. wilfully sparing an individual, protecting an individual from harm, or ending or easing an individual's suffering, done not out of obligation, but out of a sense of pity, forgiveness, or compassion.
2} n., According to Watanabe Kenji, the use of the word "Merciful" in this Omegamon form's name is intended to connote a kaishakunin 「介錯人」, an individual who beheads another individual who has committed seppuku. Since the English language has no direct equivalent to the term "kaishakunin", the word "merciful" is used instead (connoting that what a kaishakunin does is an act of mercy to ensure that the individual who has committed seppuku does not experience pain and suffering for long).[1]
