Digimon Adventure 02 / Season two Digimon Tamers / Season three Digimon Frontier / Season four Digimon Savers (Japan only)

Digimon Adventure (デジモンアドベンチャー, Dejimon Adobenchā^?) (1999) is the first season of the anime saga Digimon: Digital Monsters.

Its premise is a group of young pre-teens while at summer camp, become the "DigiDestined" and are unwillingly forced to save both the Digital and real world from evil. Each child was given a "Digivice" which selected them to be "transported" to the Digital World. The Digivices help their Digimon allies to "Digivolve" into stronger creatures in times of need. The Digimon usually reach higher forms after they see their human partners in a dangerous situation.

[edit] Plot summary

The children have no idea what's going on after they meet their Digimon partners, yet they still have to fight to protect themselves. However, as time passes and the series starts to evolve, new subjects and concepts are presented. It covered such difficulties the children face when growing up, such as making friends, being courageous and taking a stand against evil, lending a supportive hand to others even though they may be different, saying goodbye to the ones you love, and much more. This has been displayed best by the collection of "crests" the children collect in the first season to make their Digimon partners evolve into stronger Digimon and help them stop the evil forces. They embody virtues such as Courage for Taichi Kamiya, Friendship for Matt Ishida, Love for Sora Takenouchi, Sincerity for Mimi Tachikawa, Knowledge for Izzy Izumi, Reliability for Joe Kido, and Hope for T.K. Takaishi. The crests won't work unless their bearers exhibit the quality their crest represents. This has lead the children to express the traits they didn't know they had, which sometimes comes with interesting emotional and dramatic results.

The children realized that the world they were in was not a game, and that the creatures there had feelings and could feel pain. Digimon express every quality that humans do; only they aren't human. They decided without much thought that they had to defend the noble creatures in the Digital World because they didn't want them to suffer, and they were the only ones that could help. The DigiDestined made efforts on not having to destroy any Digimon, unless they were perverse (usually of the "virus" kind) and gave them no other choice.

Later in the season, the gang went back to Odaiba, where Tai's little sister Kari Kamiya joins the group with her own Crest of Light. Her involvement expanded the scope of the show as a new dark world was introduced, and a description on how the Digital World got besieged by the "Dark Masters" was added. There was even a reference to the first movie, showing the events that preceded the happenings of the story and the way every DigiDestined entered in contact with Digimon for the first time. In the next season there was more information provided on the dark universe, but there was still a visible gap in detail, suggesting that what we have witnessed in the series is just a small story out of a much larger one.

The season was highly regarded, and garnered millions of viewers. It also became one of the biggest anime exports out of Japan, specifically the third, after Sailor Moon and Pokémon. (It is possibly the fourth largest, if Dragonball Z is included.)

[edit] Characters

The English dub of Digimon was somewhat unique at the time, since most human characters kept their proper Japanese names, but were still usually referred to by 'Americanized' nicknames. Some Digimon names were modified to English equivalents, and (rarely) into Japanese equivalents.

The eight children are listed first, followed by their Digimon partners.

[edit] Episodes

For a list of episodes, see List of Digimon Adventure episodes

Digimon Adventure aired 54 episodes on Fuji TV in Japan from March 7th, 1999 to March 26th, 2000, then later on Fox Kids in the United States from August 14th, 1999 to June 24th, 2000. In Germany Digimon Adventure aired on RTL II from August 14th, 2000 to July 7th, 2001.

[edit] Digital World

The Digital World (or DigiWorld for short) is a parallel, shadow world that coexists with Earth, created as it was by it. This is where all Digimon live.

The Digital World is closely tied to Earth - everything in the Digital World is made up of digital matter, pure data given life through the dreams, wishes, stories, spiritual beliefs and more of humankind, via the power of a "dream dimension" which runs parallel to it (see Digimon Adventure 02). The four compass regions of the Digital World are each guarded by one of Harmonious Ones - the Eastern region is governed by Azulongmon.

When an evil being emerged from beyond the Digital World's Wall of Fire, the Digital World's chronology was warped, throwing it out of sync with Earth, making it much older than it would be under normal circumstances - one Earth minute was equal to one Digital World day. Prophecy foretells that any time the Digital World is threatened by evil, a new group of children from each generation, called the DigiDestined, will come to the Digital World and save it. The DigiDestined for each generation were selected by a mysterious group, charged with the DigiWorld's protection. When the eight children of this generation witnessed a battle between a Greymon and a Parrotmon, the group chose them, and constructed their Digivices, Tags and Crests. A brutal attack by the Dark Masters left the whole group dead, save for Gennai, who was able to escape and hide the DigiDestined’s' Digivices and seven DigiEggs until their time came. When Devimon began to take over File Island with his Black Gears, the time for the DigiDestined to be summoned came, and the Digivices were dispatched, transporting seven chosen children into the Digital World, where they battled with the evil Digimon there.

Myotismon attempted to conquer both the Digital World and Earth by killing the Eighth Child - the predestined eighth member of the DigiDestined. He opened a portal to Earth and led his army on an assault on Central Odaiba in the search for the child, who was eventually revealed to be Kari, little sister of Tai, leader of the DigiDestined. When Myotismon was finally stopped, a rift opened to the Digital World - but it had been horrifically changed. In the few days that the DigiDestined had been back on Earth, years had passed in the Digital World, and the Dark Masters had risen again, and conquered the entire world, reformatting it into the massive Spiral Mountain. When the kids defeated the Dark Masters, they were confronted with the being who had created the four monstrosities - Apocalymon. Apocalymon was bent on sharing his sorrow with the rest of reality, and didn't care if he lived or died in doing so. Thankfully, the kids defeated him. With his defeat, the Digital World began to reformat itself into its original form, free of evil, also putting it back in synch with Earth-time, meaning time would move to the same pace in both worlds. After the battle with Diaboromon, Gennai called the DigiDestined back to the DigiWorld, where they released the powers of their Crests, creating a shield which restored peace to the DigiWorld, expelling all evil.

[edit] Movies

Digimon: The Movie, released in the US and Canada territory by Fox Kids in October 2000, consists of the union of the first three Japanese movies. Those stories are based in the universe introduced in the first two seasons of the TV series.

[edit] Digimon Adventure (The movie)

The first story focused on Tai and Kari Kamiya four years before their adventure in the Digital World. It shows their first encounter with Digimon and what happened to them (as well as the other children) when they participated in their first Digimon battle after raising a quickly growing Botamon. In the story, that Digimon hatches from a Digi-egg and eventually evolved into Greymon to fight a Parrotmon who appeared in the city. The movie was used in episodes of Digimon Adventure to explain why Taichi and company became DigiDestined.

[edit] Our War Game!

(デジモンアドベンチャー　ぼくらのウォーゲーム Dejimon Adobenchā: Bokura no Wō Gēmu!)

The second story shows many of the DigiDestined, but only four end up saving the day when a computer virus Digimon raises havoc all over the world through the Internet. The kids must stop the evil Digimon quickly before he provokes the launching of nuclear warheads aimed at Japan (where the kids live). Tai and Matt end up getting so worried about their Digimon (in the form of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon) badly losing to the evil Digimon Diaboromon that they actually phase into the Internet and miraculously give them the power to destroy him in time. Both Digimon merge, evolving into the powerful Omnimon. However, Diaboromon is still too fast, until Izzy comes up with the idea to redirect e-mails that they are receiving from children watching the battle to slow him down, allowing Omnimon to finish him off just before the missiles hit. In the end, the deactivated missiles land harmlessly in Tokyo Bay.

[edit] CD Dramas

[edit] Digimon Adventure Original Story 2nen han no Kyuuka

This audio drama (NECA-30081^[3]) focuses on the two and a half years between Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02.^[4] It was only released in Japanese, and the title translates as "Original Story, 2-and-a-Half Year Break". It has separate tracks for Tai (set November, 1999), Joe (set May, 2000), Sora (set October, 2000), Izzy (set April, 2001), Mimi (set September, 2001), and Matt (set March, 2002).

In Tai's track, Whistle, a digital gate opens, allowing Tai to communicate briefly with Agumon. The sound of his sister's whistle, left in the Digital World with Gatomon, alerted him to the open gate.

In Joe's track, Telephone, he confides in his brother Shin that he now wants to become a doctor because he wished to do something about the suffering he saw in the Digital World.

In Sora's track, Letter to my Father, she writes about Joe's eldest brother, Shuu, becoming her father's student in mythology, that her mother is teaching her to play tennis, and that her school will be going to Kyoto on a trip soon.

In Izzy's track, Chat, Izzy is e-mailing Gennai. He comments on Gennai "becoming younger", and that there are actually many more Digidestined around the world. In addition, he wonders what the causes of the Greymon/Parrotmon battle in 1995 may have been.

In Mimi's track, Video Mail, Mimi has recently moved to New York City. She relates in graphic detail her experiences of the September 11, 2001 attacks, and that she met other DigiDestined helping to clear away the rubble. She also wonders if Digimon were actually around before the creation of the computer network.

In Matt's track, As I Play the Bass, Matt appears to be talking on the telephone to his father, whilst practicing the bass guitar. He finds out that his father used to be in a band, and also says that T.K. and his mother will be moving into Odaiba soon. Matt also mentions that the events relating the Digimon appear to have been wiped from video records.

Overall, the audio drama, set between Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02, serves to bridge the gap between the two seasons in terms of the changing personalities of the original DigiDestined, and especially in the case of Chat, to provide further insight into some plot holes.

[edit] Digimon Adventure - Character Song - Mini Drama 2

This CD drama.^[5] focuses on a love letter that Izzy is writing. Throughout the drama, the other DigiDestined and their Digimon try and determine who he is writing it to, and several of the female DigiDestined wonder and even argue if he's writing it to them.

In Koushiro and the Missing Whereabouts of Love, the other DigiDestined find izzy writing the love letter and try to get him to confess who he's writing it to. But izzy gets Tentomon to Digivolve to Kabuterimon and flies off on him before the others can badger the answer from him. They pursue him in order to find out.

In Mimi's Overly Self-Conscious Plans for World Domination, the female DigiDestined (Kari, Mimi, and Sora) wonder if Izzy wrote the letter for one of them, and if so, which one? A small, but comical and friendly, argument breaks out over as to whom it could be.

In Hikari's Weak Constitution, the boys try to calm the girls down, onlyt to be ensnalrled in the affair theselves. Kari finally resolves the situation. The true intended recipient for the love letter is revealed by Izzy, but is purposely bleeped out in order to keep the listeners in the dark as to whom the letter was really for.

[edit] English dub edits

• In the episode "Evil Shows His Face", two scenes were cut out:
  • Devimon is shown putting a black gear into an opening in Leomon's back he made with his claws.
  • Part of the bath scene was cut because of the semi-nudity of Tai, Matt, and Joe. However, another bath scene where Mimi's bath is interrupted due to Tai and Izzy walking in on her (and her covering her chest) was not edited.
• Puppetmon's hide-and-seek game with TK was edited as it involved the villain using a gun with dum-dum bullets. T.K.'s lines were also changed a bit to make him sound less cruel when he tricks Puppetmon.
  • A scene where Mushroomon and Blossomon are shot is edited out. Since they were covering T.K.'s movements, this leaves him appearing behind the door out of nowhere in the dub.
• When Apocalymon is talking and cuts through his skin, green blood is edited out.
• In several fight scenes, frames where the fists or slaps connect are cut though in most instances it was made clear that the contact was made (i.e, characters exclaimed, faces were left red and so on)
• All music in the show and first three movies is replaced mostly with stock music from Saban's Masked Rider series in the English dub. Ironically, the dub music is held in higher regard than most "Made for TV" anime soundtracks (and almost certainly more than when it was used in Masked Rider).
• In the original Japanese version of episode 30, "Almost Home Free" The man who picked up the Digidestined, was not Sora's cousin, but a stranger. ^[6]
• Some scenes are switched between episodes to create cliffhangers.^[1]
