He turned against his team, and during a fight with Masaru, he accidentally caused him to unleash a dark DigiSoul forming Shine Greymon Ruin Mode in the process, having disastrous consequences. Thoma betrayed Kurata by destroying the device he was using to control Belphemon Sleep Mode with.
In DS42, He gets into a dispute his father and remembers how his grandmother hated him for not being born a "true" Norstein due to his Japanese lineage.

Digimon Story[edit]
Thoma appears along with his partner and other DATS agents in several side quests throughout the game where the player must assist them.
One of these is an Onegai Quest given by a Digimon in the Player's DigiFarm that sends them to get an autograph from Thoma as they're a big fan of him. However, Thoma says he has no time for that as his Partner Digimon, Gaomon, went to Data Forest to investigate (though he quickly corrects himself and says he went "for a walk" instead) and hasn't come back. He doesn't want to go look for him as he thinks they'll miss each other so the Player offers themselves to do it instead. Once reunited with Gaomon, he apologises and Thoma thanks the Player for their help, giving them the autograph of both of them they were looking for. They then leave to report to the Tamer Union and return to the Real World.
In a later Onegai Quest, in Steamy Jungle, after King Etemon threatens to get rid of the Player, Daimon Masaru and Agumon appear, both of them having been in pursue of King Etemon for a while. Masaru has Agumon evolve into Geo Greymon, but his attacks are too weak to affect King Etemon. Thoma and Yoshino then arrive, alongside their Perfect-level Partner Digimon, Mach Gaogamon and Lilamon, cornering King Etemon. King Etemon says he'll evolve and beat them all, but no one buys his bluff and then he asks if they won't let him go, before finally surrendering.
After that, Thoma calls Masaru out for not waiting for the other two as he had ordered him to, but Masaru responds that the Player was in danger. Yoshino stops their fight, remarking that the important thing was that everyone was safe, though she then scolds Masaru for running head-first into a dangerous situation. The Player then asks the trio who they are, and Masaru responds they're members of DATS. Thoma scolds him since that's meant to be a secret, but Masaru points out the Player already knows about Digimon so there's no point in keeping the secret. Yoshino agrees with Masaru but remarks that they must abide by the rules, so she asks the Player not to tell others about them, which the Player agrees with. The trio then leaves.
