GIFT is an organization that appears in Digimon Beatbreak. It is led by Miharu Kagemori.
Development
GIFT was designed to resemble a Digimon-based equivalent of chatbot psychosis. Sapotama on their own would already lead to such fixation, but the sophistication of the Digimon AI and the involvement of e-Pulse exacerbates the effect, leading to even greater obsession where adherents believe "people will be redeemed by faith in Digimon".[1]
Fiction
Digimon Beatbreak
GIFT is a quasi-spiritual extremist group that is seen as a cult by wider society. It nominally seeks to dismantle the corrupt oligarchy of the World Union which oppresses humans and enslaves Digimon. However, their fervor has led them to endorse attacks on that oligarchy that would cause significant civilian casualties. As a criminal organization interfering with the World Union's activities, they are being investigated by the Five Stars. GIFT
The cult has followers who keep up to date via watching a Live-stream on their Sapotamas. Their followers range between generations and occupations. Cold Rain
Miharu's ultimate goal is to rebuild the world via the World Code. Behind the Mask

After Glowing Dawn manages to repeatedly defuse his plans, Jokermon attacks them directly and easily subdues them. However, when Tomoro learns that his final plan is to use car-bombs to blow up the entire hospital, taking patients like Asuka with it, he is able to activate his e-Pulse and digivolve Armalizamon to Monarchlizamon. As an Ultimate, Monarchlizamon is able to drag both Jokermon and the bombs to the Mirror World, where he and Murasamemon handily subdue the assassin Digimon. Jokermon cryptically warns that humanity has been misled as he degenerates to Mokumon, while back in the Real World a distraught Hori is taken into custody by agents of the Ministry.
