#adventure/tamers crossover

[nickpeppermint]

This made me realise how realistic Takato is as a character, cuz of his honest reactions

He's not idealised like Taiki or Tagiru, he can cry or panic when stressed cuz he's only a boy, but you can also see how he grew through the journey, and gained confidence

[valtren]

In my defense, they are from Tokyo

[higuchimon]

This is just a random thought I had. So, I ask you:

02 X TAMERS | TAMERS X 02

[themattress]

See, this is why I prefer the English name of "Rika."

KA-RI. RI-KA. They're like bizarro versions of each other!

More One Piece X Batman au ideas/hcs

Just more assorted ideas from this OP Batfam au here iv been playing with. All you have to know is the Batfam is now in the op world tho!

-Im leaving the og post with multiple options but im def leaning twords them having their own Pirate crew, and either ally with another canon crew or have ties to the Revs, or both. Im unsure on what they'd be called because the Bat Pirates or Bat and Bird Pirates is kinda lame lol so ill figure something out later, and also am open to suggestions!

I feel like they're very open about being Vigilante-Pirates, working like or with the Revs but still being Pirates. It catches on pretty quick for them, and later is a classification used for other similar crews. Also, yes they follow the Pirate Codes and learn the traditions! They mostly learned out of curiosity at first but learned how important it was and kinda just fell into them.

Here's the set-up on the crew for those with official position, though they do have a lot of crossovers (Any positions not specifically mentioned are just done by all the crew or when needed, or not needed at all);

Bruce is the Captain, and Navigator (Tho I feel like all of them learn how to navigate just in case). The crew mostly governs itself, but they learn more about the Pirate Codes and make sure to listen to their Captain when it's important because it's as much as about respect to their crew but also for other crews. They adapt pretty well to it tbh tho it takes a bit because being a pirate crew is largely very different from a Vigilante group.

Dick is the First Mate, and their Communications Expert/Diplomat. Ie he keeps track of allies, friends, man's the phones, er, snails? And is the one usually to socialize or mediate with both interpersonal and outside the crew. He does use swords, but doesn't consider himself the official Swordsman of the crew, that's Damian. (This is because I found out in older comics Bruce taught him to fight swashbuckler style, so he uses swords he switches out with his Escrima Sticks when needed)

Jason is their Gunner/Sniper and Cook, and he also is their Chronicler. He bitches a lot about the last two, but he refuses to let anyone take over the Cook role as he doesn't trust anyone else, but also enjoys writing their adventures down despite denying it.

Tim is their Information Gatherer and Chemist Expert, and knows the second most of Navigating. He and Bruce also are the ones who mostly make the weapons for the others, though most of them could if needed. He also shares Archaeologist duties with Bruce, though everyone partakes.

Cass is their Spymaster and Scout, and also "secret weapon" ie she kicks major ass and scares the shit out of their enemies cuz nobody expects the tiny half mute girl to be one of their frontline fighters <3

Stephanie is their Doctor, because I love the hc that she decides to become a Doctor and has been going to med school (and because I need someone to fill the position without Alfred here ^-^'), as well as their Tailor, though she splits that with Jason and Dick as needed. Though everyone knows Advanced First Aid due to their lifestyles.

I feel like Duke decides to pick up the position of Official Shipwright because they need someone to do so, and actually comes to really enjoy learning how to make and take care of ships properly.

Damian is their other Swordsman, due to his skill and pride in his swordsmanship. He is also their Beast Tamer, and secondary Spy. He's often thought to be a Cabin Boy, which pisses him off, but he's got actual positions on the ship, so he isn't despite his age. Some of the Old Guard have issues with how young he is, but it's not like anyone of them had a choice due to his past, and it's not like he hasn't earned the roles either. He's more experienced them most pirate crews!

They all switch out chores mostly evenly, Helm the ship, rigging, and do lookout duty, though often trade off when someone needs a break from the others due to the whole "trapped on a ship 24/7 hours together". Most of them know how to use instruments, so technically they all are the Musician, though they don't often do so. Damian plays his Violin the most, however, and has secretly enjoyed learning Sea Shanties to play. Dick is the one who bursts into song and knows almost endless sea shanties.

They're also all considered frontline fighters, which is strange for even a small pirate crew, but anyone can also easily switch to support or really any types of roles in a fight, which makes them even more odd. It's not often crews are very versatile, specially with how most of them can easily pick up the role or position of the roles another inhabits.

-At first I was unsure if they should ditch the costume or nah, but then I realized how hard it would to be to live in them like, 24/7 cuz they can't exactly treat this like patrol. Plus, wear and tear of the costumes would make it just unlikely they'd survive for the months or even years they're stuck in the OP world

So I decided that they do a mix-up. They keep a lot of their costume or costume elements but add more casual and piratey vibes in, both for comfort and style to fit in a little better, like these images.

Bruce really didn't want to, same with ever taking off the masks or suits due to the risk of somehow being ID'd back in their world, but over time even Bruce has to admit they can't live in their suits or all call them only by their Vigilante names forever.

They still all wear masks for the most part, and how much they keep or get rid of varies between them, but yee.

Dick has a coat like above, but he also has a very nice black swashbucklers shirt he'll put over instead. Bruce was bullied into making his cowl only the top part of his face, but they got him a captains/swashbucklers hat that has similar bat ears on it as well to wear. They tried to find a Captain's coat that worked but in the end decided to stick with the cape.

Tim no longer has the full cowl of Red Robin but instead a half face one that also lets his hair free, and kept his "wing cape" and chest belts but overall went for something more casual but still armored.

Damian has changed the least with his Robin suit and refuses to really mess with it, though he will occasionally take the over-shirt off and wear a looser, more comfy shirt over the under-suit.

Uhhh the others I really don't have anything concrete but you get the idea for outfits lol

-The Whitbeards would really like them as pirates, they have soft spots for Crews that are Family, though they are not a fan of how young Damian is, even more so when they learn that apparently all the kids have been fighting since they were little, but eventually find out that Bruce liked it even less than they do, and he really had no other choice other than to teach them to do it safely then let them do it behind his back.

-Mihawk and Bruce would get along very well also btw

[digi-tama-in-your-pocket]

I've been on a real comic book kick lately. I'm mostly fixated on Batman at the moment ( his partner would totally be Cyberdramon btw, maybe tukaimon as the rookie stage ) but it got me thinking about how id love to see more collaboration between the western comics scene and the japanese manga scene, we've got a Naruto meets Ninja Turtles crossover coming soon, DC and Marvel already dabbled in manga and anime versions of their stuff, and we have various netflix adaptations of anime, and a few movies. Admittedly, I wish when it came to the western side of things, we'd stop doing so much live action and start doing animation and comics.

I'm getting rambling a little off topic here. It led me to think back, and I swear I have a memory of manga releasing as single floppy issues on american comic book racks. I distinctly remember Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Pokemon Adventures, and The Electric Tale of Pikachu all releasing each chapter as a single stand alone comic book. I just can't seem to find any evidence of this... but tell you what I do remember though...

These western adaptations of the Digimon Anime, mostly just a 1:1 recration, hand drawn, rather than, whatchacallem, those "Cinemangas" that used to take up space on the shelf at Borders.

Look at these fucking covers.

I love them so much. The composition of each one really has the attention grabbing energy that so many comics on store shelves had to have at the time. Although only 12 issues were published in the west, it looks like other territories got the whole she-bang, and even Adventure 02, Frontier, and Tamers got comics.

I'd love to see these all re-released in glorious full color, even if it's only digitally... however, we all know that's never going to happen. I'm sure these comics are wrapped in all kinds of legal red tape and Bandai probabl doesn't even know they exist.

That being said...

it would be so cool to see a brand new ongoing comic book in the west set in the world of Digimon. I know the western comic book scene has it's issues but one thing they do very well is explore an established canon from all sorts of different angles. And the best part is, purists who don't want this, don't have to read it.

And I'd kind of like a Tamagotchi comic too, that's kind of what I thought that "time travel" shell was at first, but alas. And I think that's even less likely than a Digimon Dark Horse reprint, because.. well I don't think a tamagotchi comic would sell even a little. We can't even get the anime subbed and fans aren't interested. No chance a comic book could happen.

Digimon Data Squad (Savers) - Episode 41

This was a decent episode, even though it was mostly exposition dumps and flashbacks. There's only so many episodes left so the plot has no choice but to progress now. Since it's a kids show I'm guessing Masaru's dad will come around somehow. I wonder if he's in some kind of trance? I bet there's yet another bad guy behind everything, as is the Digimon way lol.

Notes:

Still no explanation of what Masaru's dad's necklace is supposed to be. Maybe that's not important. It kinda looks like a cheap piece of plastic to me lol

Now that I've gotten a closer look Sleipmon's design is actually really majestic. Clearly based on Sleipnir from Norse mythology (which I only know about because of Marvel lol). It feels kind of weird that all the other royal knights are bipedal, but oh well.

Kinda thought the reaction to Satsuma being alive should have been bigger, but we all saw that one coming. Hope Kudamon ends up okay for his sake.

Seeing a Guilmon digivolution fight an Agumon digivolution was pretty cool. Felt like an Adventure x Tamers crossover.

Masaru gets to go on a solo adventure while the rest of the gang protect Earth. I feel like this kinda makes no sense risk-wise since Masaru and ShineGreymon have been the key to ending every battle lately, but oh well.

The "we should trust him because he's family" message was iffy at best...That's not a lesson that should be applied to abusive dads IRL is all I'm saying 😬

The State of the Digimon Franchise in the World of Digimon Tamers

There is something rather interesting about Digimon Tamers in regards to the rest of the anime: The fact that the Digimon franchise at the very least exists within the universe. We know of course that there are Digimon games in this world, as well as the Digimon Card Game. If we go by the official blog by Chiaki J. Konaka, the first two seasons of the anime aired in this world - which is also referenced during several of the crossovers we got in later games and of course Digimon Xros Wars.

Ironically though the anime is not really referenced a lot in Digimon Tamers. Sure, we can read some of Takato's lines as references to it (like him saying that Guilmon should be at the very least as strong as Agumon and such), as well as that we know there are cards exiting in the series that are references to Adventure, but at no point does the show actually reference the anime.

However, given that Konaka confirms the existence of the anime in this world, I am just always gonna assume that yes, the anime does not in fact exist.

This does bring me to another question though. Or rather two questions that I always loved to ponder:

Is there another Digimon anime airing in the world of Digimon Tamers instead of Digimon Tamers in the year of 2001?

How does the Digimon franchise develop, after... you know? After Tokyo nearly gets destroyed by Digimon...?

See, here is the thing: From all we can tell the Digimon Franchise - at least until 2001 - is doing a whole lot better in the world of Digimon Tamers than in the real world.

All we know is, that the Wild Bunch created the code, with Keith McCoy being the one coming up with the entire rules for Digimon. And then at some point Bandai bought the rights to this - probably from the McCoys. (Did Keith and Rob get the money for this? We have to assume so, right?)

But despite Bandai being mainly Japanese, we know there are exclusive games for Digimon in the USA (like the one Jianliang gets from Jiang-yu in his backstory). Which makes me think that Digimon is a way bigger thing in this world, than it ever was IRL.

But if it is so successful as a franchise... We have to assume that there would be another Digimon season releasing in 2001, right? So, I kinda would love to think about what that show is. Because it is probably not Digimon Tamers.

The other question is, however, how the franchise develops after 2001. Because it certainly will do something to the franchise to have not only a confirmation that the fantasy of this franchise is actually a reality, but that also was responsible for at least some deaths. Because make no mistake: There are some people dying in Digimon Tamers. We have at least some confirmed deaths of the JDF during the D-Reaper attack on Tokyo, but there is a good chance that during some of the prior Digimon attacks this happened to.

Hypnos tried to keep the existence of Digimon a secret until Vikaralamon, but afterwards we know that the existence of Digimon is confirmed to the public. We do not really get to see a whole lot of the fallout outside of how it does affect Yamaki and the parents of the kids, because the kids are in the Digital World right after this. But by the time D-Reaper attacks, we see how the news paper titles go: "Is this Digimon related?" and stuff like that.

And to me it is super fascinating. What does this do to the franchise? How does the public relationship to Digimon as a franchise develop?

I will openly admit. When I wrote my old Digimon Tamers fics back in the day, I never really questioned this. For the sake of the story, I basically just went with: "Welp, the government did their best to sweep everything under the rug, and after about two years, things moved on as usual, and generally speaking the franchise evolved. Also Card Game Alpha, because the card designs were cool." But it is something I am almost sad about. Because it would have made for a real interesting basis of writing some speculative stuff.

Because I can absolutely see that there is some consequences happening. Especially given that we know that D-Reaper also appeared in other places, where there are probably no Digimon Tamers (due to SHIBUMI only distributing the Blue Cards in Tokyo). And yeah... Super interesting stuff for some worldbuilding.

(Also, never mind me: Just my hyperfixation for my childhood franchise reawakening...)

Be More Chill AU X Digimon general outline.

Be More Chill AU: A loose adaption of the musical that is a full on crossover with Digimon, based on the fan comic Digimon Zone. A bigger focus on Evolution and upgrades is placed due to the inclusion of Tamers and Digimon's bond and ability to Digivolve. In this version of events, dimensional peacekeepers, the Zoners and their Digimon investigate anomalies in the Network and its various Zones (universes that contains an Earth and a Digital World or Digital World approximation), and happen on a Zone where the Digital World hasn't been fully discovered by humanity yet, but Digimon have nevertheless been downloaded into strange, digital pills called SQUIPS that local human teens have been taking to improve themselves. Curious on what this could mean if the SQUIPS escape their native Zone. Dan Ike, Betamon, Izzy: and Tentomon investigate the matter, infiltrating Jeremy Heere's school as the highest SQUIP/Digimon activity is present there. The two boys befriend Jeremy and Micheal, and slowly expose them to the secret of Digimon, though Micheal was aware of the Digimon already, having become friends with a Shoutmon that appeared in his phone's music playlist.

Jeremy, in his quest to become popular and find someone to help him (despite Dan, Izzy: and Micheal's best efforts to dissuade him otherwise) takes a SQUIP, with his turning out to be a charismatic Algomon Ultimate who takes Jeremy under his wing. When it starts to take further control of Jeremy, Algomon assumes its Worm Phase form, wrapping Jeremy in its tentacles and controlling him like a puppet. When Jeremy manages to fully break away from Algomon later on, it Digivolves into its Mega Level to reassert itself. Jeremy's actual Partner Digimon would turn out to be a Veemon.

Digimon hail from the Digital World like usual, but like Digimon Adventure: and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, some Digimon have been creeping into the Real World via the Internet, which is how Micheal met Shoutmon. Others have been downloaded into SQUIPs by a currently unknown source that the Zoners are investigating. Like Digimon Ghost Game and Digimon Fusion, Digimon usually can't be seen properly by other humans. Those with SQUIPs are usually the only ones aware of them, though Micheal became aware of Shoutmon after finding what he thought was a weird animated gif (Shoutmon's V-Pet sprite) dancing to Bob Marley on his phone. When Digimon manifest in the Real World, like Digimon Ghost Game, they initially take on Hologram Ghost forms. Dan and Izzy:'s Betamon and Tentomon also do so, causing other kids with SQUIPs to assume their Digimon are SQUIP AI.

Before Jeremy gets his SQUIP, he can't see the other Digimon at first on his own, finding he can only see them and ensuing fights via his phone. Similar to SSSS.Gridman, the SQUIP Digimon can be seen via phones and other digital equipment like laptops and game consoles, which Dan and Izzy: use to identify those with SQUIPs. Rich Goranski's SQUIP would be identified as a Kurisarimon that would later on attempt to take control and Digivolve to Infermon, forcing Dan's Majiramon, Izzy:'s MegaKabuterimon, and Micheal's OmniShoutmon to intervene. Like Ghost Game, Digimon can see and touch each other while in their Hologram state, though they can cause damage to their physical surroundings which Dan and Jeremy's group attempt to contain.

Other identified SQUIP Digimon so far include Soulmon, Gururumon, Morphomon, Eosmon, Goblimon, SkullMeramon, Fugamon, Burpmon, Etemon, Betsumon, Soundbirdmon, Crowmon, Wisemon, Bokomon, Neemon, Starmonz, Impmon, Mamemon, Dobermon, Terriermon, Wendigomon, IceDevimon, and Eyesmon.

A tadc self indulgent au/crossover with digimon...cause why not

Caine is an ai created to aid our tamers within this new world. He isn't sure why people are constantly being summoned to the digital world nor does he understand how humans works. He tries his best along with his assistants, Toyagumons (and bubbles). Caine isn't a digimon nor is he human. No one know what he is honestly expect for him.

Each person has a code name along with their "Names"

Pomni -Jaster

Gangle - Reaper

Ragatha- Prototype

Kinger- Bug Whisper

Jax- Wildcard

Zooble- ????(haven't figured out yet)

It is believed a bug or virus that's been altering the tamer's memories and appearance since no one seems to remember their past life or appearance. All having in common is putting on a headset and blacking out after hearing a voice whispering to them. Ragatha and Kinger are the most experienced tamer followed by Gangle and Jax. Zooble and Pomni are still relatively new to this and aren't as strong as the others are. Caine tries his best to lift everyone's spirits as they adventure down the dangerous road lays ahead of them. All he knows that the tamers are needed for something or else the digital world would never allowed them entry in the first place.

Digimon partners:

Pomni -Impmon

Ragatha - Dorumon

Kinger- Dokunemon

Jax- Gazimon

Gangle - Candlmon or Bakumon (not yet decided)

Zooble: Bemmon

Pomni and Impmon have a complicated relationship with each other. When Impmon heard he was getting a tamer...He was excited until he met Pomni and became immediately disappointed. He was expecting her to be big and strong and could help him becoming the strongest he can be...As for Pomni...She is scared of her own partner and doesn't like how loud he can be. She would often put distance between each other. Eventually they will warm up to each other dw

Ragatha is the only one who understands Dorumon and prefers to stay by her side. Even tho her partner is on the quiet side, she can easily understand her. Her tamer is the only one she allows to pet her and often defends her from Jax's and Gazimon's shenanigans. Dorumon speaks out the thoughts in Ragatha's mind and feelings despite Ragatha saying it's alright and no need to make it a big deal. Dorumon hates that and hopes one day she can get her tamer to be more selfish instead setting herself on fire for others to warm up

Kinger and Dokunemon gets along the most out of all the people here. He helps Kinger to focus and reminds him what to do and speaks for him if necessary. Kinger appreciate his company and part of the reason why he stays grounded in reality.

Jax and Gazimon almost seemingly being the person with how similar their personalities are. They love playing pranks at each other and the other members of the group. Unfortunately for Pomni, she is their new favorite target. They often finish each other's sentences and laugh at each other's jokes. A true menace to everyone around them

Gangle and candlmon/Bakumon... Gangle often hides behind her partner whenever something dangerous happens or when Jax is around. She is deeply grateful for them and her partners are more than willing to defend her with all their might. Beside they also often give Gangle advice and encouraging her to defend for herself and speak out her mind. Digimon surprisingly make great therapist

Zooble and Bemmon...They don't talk each other a lot ,but have mutual respect for each other. They seemingly know what each other are gonna say or think. No one knows how deep their relationship are with each other

This is a wip for now and if people are interested...I can give you their evolution routes! Currently working on what each member looks like. So far...I plan it to have fusion evolution route especially with Pomni and Ragatha partners and others

[higuchimon]

Sorta curious about this: should I tag or otherwise put a notice on my old fics posted on Tumblr indicating they will be rewritten?

Digimon Top Tamer Tournament- Anime Bracket

The spirit of pointless March Madness-inspired brackets brings a pair of tournaments to determine the top tamer in Digimon! Spanning the length of the franchise from Adventure to Ghost Game, 132 characters have entered either the anime side or the video game/manga side. Following the poll earlier this week, first round matchups are primarily within each series, with Adventure getting isolated pods to winnow itself down a bit before being unleashed upon the rest of the world. Also when we say Adventure, both the original and reboot are included… with different round one matchups! Let’s get into it:

Courage Field is one of the 75% Adventure regions, which means a possible third-round match between original and reboot Taichi. But first one may have to fight his sister in round two while the other finally gets the scrap with Yamato we all sorely missed in 2020. In the movies pod, Wallace gets to meet Menoa Bellucci and Meiko awaits the winner of one of our four play-in games. These will open up today and will narrow the field down to 64 before the tournament begins next week. It’s a thing the actual March Madness does because money. Here it’s a way to make sure everything works.

The top of Miracle Space is Zero Two’s domain, and no doubt the Sweet Sixteen poll between its winner and the other half of Adventure will be hotly contested. But first note the two matches between future spouses. Since we haven’t seen the reboot kids as adults, feel free to headcanon a third or even a fourth in the 2020 matches with Takeru vs. Hikari and Mimi vs. Joe. Outside Adventure, the Lee family squares off in one of three sibling matches and Tagiru will see either friend or foe depending on the outcome of the second play-in game.

Because it’s the closest thing Takato has to a crest or spirit. Here we’ll see DATS operators Miki and Megumi battle in a play-in for the right to meet work husband Tohma. On a related note, Frontier’s Junpei is already slotted in against Izumi and Haru will see his best friend Yuujin. In Xros Wars land, the loose team of Ryouma and Airu face off while Zenjirou finally gets his rematch against Taiki. There are only two crossover matches in the first round, and this one between computer whizzes Rei (from Appmon) and Kiyoshiro (from Ghost Game) promises to be a treat.

Fire District goes straight to the gut as Frontier gives us one match between actual brothers and one between surrogate brothers. Another sibling fight awaits the Amanos Nene and Yuu. Speaking of siblings, two precocious little ones will meet in the other crossover match: Chika from Savers against Hajime from Appmon. Another Savers-Appmon battle will happen in round two and it will be a punch-fest if Masaru and Eri survive their first round opponents.

The First Four matches are now open and will run for a week! Once that wraps up, the Courage Field and Fire District brackets begin play on Monday with Miracle Space and Hazard Zone starting Tuesday. Polls will run for a week on both Tumblr and Twitter, with votes combined. The next round starts a day later. Also make sure to check the Video Game/Manga tournament running concurrently!

[amethyst-geek]

Lately, I've been wondering whether in the event of there being a Next Gen anime focusing on the kids of the heroes from Digimon Frontier would have the next gen kids in questions being given new Digimon forms when using the same spirit as their parents? For example, if Kouichi's daughter were to wield the spirits of Darkness, would she become Lowemon like her dad before her or would the Spirits give her a more feminine-looking form. Probably the former, seeing how in episode 12 of Frontier, the Beast Spirit of Flame turned both Shamamon and Takuya into BurningGreymon/Vritramon. However, from a Doylist standpoint, the folks making this hypothetical next gen anime might want to shake things up. However, as demonstrated in the Digimon Adventure 2020, the people making the Digimon Animes are willing to re-use evolution lines (but even then they still shook things up by giving branching evolutions), so I can see them giving the new Legendary Warriors the same forms as their parents, as long as they can find a different way to shake things. When imaging a hypothetical Digimon Next Gen story that focuses on the kids of the heroes from the first Animes, I've already thought of a few ways they could shake things up with the Frontier kids. One way is to have Frontier segment of Digimon Next Gen begin in the human world, with the sprits having been sent there keep them from falling into the villains' hands after some of the bad guys managed to defeat the legendary warriors and revert back into their spirit forms. But what I think would really draw in viewers who want to see something new with the Frontier characters would be to give the spirits of the formerly evil warriors to new wielders. As mentioned in a previous post, I would like to give the spirits of wood to Tomoki's niece. As for the remaining spirits, that depends on whether or not this is a crossover with the other Digimon Animes. If it is, then I would want to give the spirits of Steel, Water, and Earth to some of the Tamers's kids. If it isn't a crossover, then I would give the those 3 spirits to characters who aren't related to the previous heroes.

Edit: changed 'real world' to 'human world'
