#think the fourth season of digimon digimon frontier... that concept!

[arcitechs-archive]

Tony’s been asked to be a gym leader and once he became champion purely as filler but he hated the title and felt like he wasn’t doing any Real Work so he stepped down after finding someone more Fitting and continued working in his lab researching bonds and how to increase synchronization rates and eventually - bursts

[information]

I decided since my old 2021 Resolutions post was so horrifically out of date, that I should write a new pinned post. I recommend reading this for information about me.

First: no more writing resolutions. I'll write what I can, when I an.

Second: I am non-binary/agender. Pronouns are they/them, though I responded to she/her so long that I am not bothered by them. I'm also asexual & aromantic.

Third: I am nearly fifty. My fandoms of choice are, in no given order, are: Power Rangers (MMPR-PRLR, with occasional dips into later ones), Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02, Digimon Tamers, Digimon Frontier, Digimon Xros Wars/Hunters, Digimon Applimonsters, Digimon NEXT, YGO DM, YGO GX, YGO 5Ds, YGO Zexal, YGO Arc-V, YGO VRAINS, YGO Sevens, Binan Koukou Chikyuu Boubeiu Love & Love Love, Binan Koukou Chikyuu Boubei Happy Kiss, Kingdom Hearts, Pokemon, and Trollhunters. Digimon tri & Digimon Kizuna I might take small bits from but am not overly fond of them. Nothing more needs to be said on that front. YGO GX is the blood in my veins. I am unlikely to writee any given game for Pokemon.

Fourth: I have a large backlog of prompts for fics, both submitted by others and taken up for myself. If you wish to send in a prompt, the inbox is always open but it may take time for me to get to it, depending on my mood and what the prompt sparks. Please check "higuchimon prompts" for lists of prompts.

I warned you. All right. Here we go. You'll see some concepts and preferences pop up repeatedly. Tread with caution.

Digimon Adventure 02

Non-epilogue compliant: fics where the epilogue (and now that they exist, Tri and Kizuna) isn't going to happen. Non-canon ships (most often Ken x Daisuke & Taichi x Yamat0) abound. Fics seldom related to one another unless otherwise noted.

Loss, Gain, & Other Heartaches: A new enemy brainwashes a lot of human Chosen and their partners, after destroying the original twelve's patners, leading to the Digimon's data being merged with the Chosen's.

Division of Destiny: What if Vamdemon turned Sora into a vampire and from there defeated the Chosen? Well, he ended up turning Taichi, Jou, & Mimi into vampires as well, while imprisoning Hikari and giving Yamato, Takeru, and Koushiro to Piemon and the Dark Masters as slaves. A pesky rebellion formed of Daisuke, Iori, Miyako, Ken, Osamu, and various other charactes tries to fight them. Firm ships are currently just Ken x Daisuke.

When Blood Crosses: Oh, one of my favorites and probably my oldest AU altogether. What if humans and Digimon could have children together? And what if they did already? Seven out of twelve of the Chosen are part Digimon - or more. This is a full-blown multiverse. Stories don't always relate to one another, but the basic concepts tend to be the same. Ships can vary but for the most part are Taichi x Yamato, Jou x Koushiro, Mimi x Sora, Hikari x Miyako, Ken x Daisuke, and Takeru x Iori. Not averse to Piemon x Takeru, either.

Quiet Interlude: Little fluffy pieces featuring Taichi x Yamato in an establihsed relationship during 02 and beyond.

Adaptions: I don't have much written here but I have Such Plans. It will involve Things Happening to Taichi (in season 1) and Daisuke (season 2). It will probably end with Taichi x Yamato and Ken x Daisuke.

Take To The Skies: In this world, some people have wings and can fly. Daisuke is a Flier. The Digimon Kaiser thinks that makes him the perfect pet. But he will need training, of course. Kaiser x Daisuke. Other stories might involve the others who have wings.

Return of Old Enemies: Takeru is captured by two strange Digimon and collared so he can't speak. That's only the beginning of what's going on.

Fragmented Memory: Kaiser x Daisuke. Kaiser has wiped Daisuke's memory and convinced him that they're together. The other Chosen are not happy about this.

Broken Bonds: A soulmate AU featuring Piemon x Takeru. This is also a breeds AU. Piemon murders Patamon and takes Takeru.

Fight To Remember: Kaiser has lost his memory. So has Daisuke. Together, they need to learn who they were, who they are, and who they're going to be. Ken x Daisuke, obviously.

Services Rendeed: Daisuke gets poisoned and the cure lies within territory controlled by the Kaiser. The only way to save him is for the Kaiser to do it. His price - Daisuke himself. To be his until he gets bored with Daisuke. Sadly, the Kaiser isn't easily bored. Ken x Daisuke.

Stirring Shadows: Ken had a very naughty dream about being the Kaiser again and wanting to dominate Daisuke instead of the Digital World. Now, it was just a dream - right? Ken x Daisuke, older.

Scars of Victory: The Digimon Kaiser defeated the Chosen and took Daisuke as his trophy. For seven years he's ruled over the Digital World unopposed, having blocked the older Chosen from entering the Digital World. Now the barriers have dropped - and revenge is best served cold. Ken x Daisuke, brainwashing, off-screen death.

Course of Events: Set in a breeds AU: Vamdemon notices something unusual about Daisuke when he's in line to meet Tailmon and sends him to Piemon, who discovers who and what he is. How interesting. No current ships.

Walking The Edge: The Chosen have fought the Kaiser for years without knowing his true identity. Daisuke has also been dating Ichijouji Ken for years. So when the Kaiser finally reveals who he is - well, Daisuke has a choice to make. And the Kaiser will only allow one.

Dark Brotherhood: breeds AU. Ken, as Kaiser, has discovered that his half-brother is Yamato. Or rather, Anbumon. An alliance is offered. Ships: Yamato x Taichi & Ken x Daisuke.

Danger Zone: The Kaiser is very annoyed at Daisuke's continued existence as his enemy. So he decides to change where Daisuke's allegiance lies. Kaiser x Daisuke.

Hidden Truths: Miyako-centered breeds AU, also involving Jou and his dark side Fuseiimon. No ships centered, but light indicationss of Ken x Daisuke, Jou x Koushiro, and Taichi x Yamato.

Errors of Love: Aged up AU. Daisuke is dating the Kaiser. This is probably a very terrible mistake. KEn x Daisuke.

Magical Educations In Love: Magical school AU. Established ships: Ken x Daisuke, with possible Ken x Daisuke x Takeru.

Shadowed Soul: Piemon x Vamdemon x Takeru. is it love or just sex? Takeru wishes he knew. It's also a soulmate AU.

Melody of the Heart: A world of magic and magical creatures. Loosely a mirror of my breeds verse (and I do mean loosely). Established ships: Taichi x Yamato, Ken x Daisuke, Jou x Koushiro, Mimi x Sora. Others to come.

What He Wants: M rated/non-con, Kaiser x Daisuke. That's pretty much all there is to it. Just a couple of drabbles now but I'll expand it later.

Game of Life: breeds AU. The Kaiser's noticed something about some of the Chosen and wants to know what's going on. Undecided ships.

Bitter Bargains: The Chosen have fought the Kaiser for years. He's shown a rough attachment to Daisuke - kidnapping him on a regular basis. Then one day, Daisuke wakes up to find the Kaiser in his bedroom. Oh, dear. Non-con Kaiser x Daisuke.

Sanguine Bindings: Aged up AU - and Ken's a vampire, who mind-controlled Daisuke from episode 2 onward. Brainwashing/mind control/non-graphic non-con.

Purpose of Existence: Kaiser found out about Daisuke being a very special breed and claimed him for his own. Daisuke doesn't like this but something isn't right - he listens, whether he wants to or not. Aged up/breeds AU. Ken x Daisuke.

Buds and Blossoms: A romance between Hikari and Mimi. That's about it.

No Good Decisions: Daisuke accidently eats something he shouldn't have in the Digital World. It wouldn't be so bad - if the Kaiser hadn't found him and determined that someone needed to watch him. Ken x Daisuke.

Blood Of His Blood: Breed AU. Piemon wants to live again and will ensure that he does, through his oldest son.

For All Time: Taichi's been in an accident and Yamato's not sure when he will wake up. Taichi x Yamato.

Heart of Demon, Soul of Angel: AU where Taichi is an angel and Yamato is a demon. At least it starts off that way. A lot is going to change. Established ships: Taichi x Yamato & Ken x Daisuke.

Bonds & Bondage: Kaiser goes ahead and Rings V-mon. This affects Daisuke, unexpectedly. Now what will the Chosen do? Ken x Daisuke.

Fireblood: Breeds/Firestarter/Healer AU. Vamdemon bites Yamato and awakens his dark side - not good for anyone at all. Taichi x Yamato.

Flaming Ivy: The 02 Chosen are Healers and Firestarters and are working out what that means for them. Ken x Daisuke.

Digimon Tamers

Fair Wings: Some of the Tamers have wings, including Juri, Kenta, and Ruki. Adventunres and romance thereof. Established relationship: Juri x Takato.

Digimon Frontier

Consequences of Games: Just a set of fluffy post-canon fanfics featuring the Chosen playing games and what happens after the games. Firm ships include Kouji x Kouichi and Junpei x Izumi.

Heirs Apparent: Lucemon's spirit escaped confinement and was able to have an encounter with Kimura Tomoki, siring twin boys.

Godslave: So, Lucemon is the God-King of the world, ruling humans and Digimon alike. What he wants, he gets. And now he wants Kouji.

Tales of WInd and Water: Stories that cicle around Ranamon and Izumi.

Reflections of Dark Shadows: An AU where Kouji doesn't have a twin. What he does have is a reflection - and the reflection doesn't like his boyfriend. Established Takuya x Kouji, one-sided Kouichi x Kouji.

The Wind-child: A fantasy AU where Izumi is the daughter of AncientIrismon and has many adventures.

Yu-Gi-Oh Xros Wars/Hunters

Not Telling All: Yuu is a vampire with a taste for Tagiru. Tagiru doesn't know - at least not yet.

Yu-Gi-Oh DM

Pleasures of Shadows: Yami no Malik has been revived as an incubus.

Crimeland: An AU where there are three Kaiba brothers (Seto, Seth, and Mokuba) and - many other differences I haven't gotten to writing yet. Only set 'ship is Seto x Kisara.

Uncertain Choices: A modern day AU, with Atemu and Yuugi as twin brothers. Only set ship right now is Atemu x Mahaado. If I ever finish the sequel I have in mind, I will add Seto x Yuugi.

Gifts of Power: A Superhero AU. A large chunk of people have powers. Established relationship: Isis x Mana.

Yu-Gi-Oh GX

Reversal AU: In canon, Juudai has the poewr of the Gentle Darkness. Here, in a world very like Dark World but with differences (such as a sun), he has the power of the Destructive Darkness - and he is pure evil, enjoys it, and has the overall goal of destroying all of creation. A small, plucky rebellion stands against him. Do they stand a chance? Time will tell. Be warned: non-consensual Juudai x Johan, as well as someone becoming a vampire, and many other twisted plot points. I love this AU.

Stronger Than Water: We don't know much about Johan's past. So what if he actually grew up in Dark World, as Brron's adopted son? And was sent to kill Juudai? Firm ships are Yubel x Juudai and maybe Yubel x Juudai x Johan. I havevn't gotten far enough to be sure.

Hell's Ice: What if Ryou were the one taken by Kagemaru and Amnael instead of Fubuki? Well, add in some elemental affinities and we have the Hell Kaiser of Ice - one of the Seven Stars. No set ships othe than Yubel x Juudai, though I am debating a few.

Itch To Scratch: Juudai and Yubel are demons. Johan's an angel - or he thinks he is, anyway. What he really is, he'll find out eventually. Firm ship is Yubel x Juudai x Johan.

Bridges: So, in this series, Juudai's power is that of the Light of Creation. Johan has the Gentle Darkness - and Juudai has been possessed by the Light of Ruin for seven thousand years.

Dead Weight: It's the zombie apocalypse! Ahhh! No set in stone ships yet.

King's Champion: When a late-night break-in goes very wrong, Yubel ends up taking Juudai to Dark World for his own safety. He ends up being raised by Brron. But taking him away from Earth has consequence, both good and bad. Yubel x Juudai. Not ruling out Yubel x Juudai x Johan in the future.

Shadow Demons: Juudai: King of Hell, with Yubel and Johan as his Consorts. Ryou, a demon prince. Fujiwara Yuusuke, a shadow mage with Honest as his guardian angel. Fubuki as an angel of love. Asuka slays evil vampires. And much, much more. Established ships: Ryou x Yuusuke and Yubel x Juudai x Johan.

Echoes: Rewrites of different parts of GX. Currently only the Haou arc, but others to come. Established ships: technically none but eventually Yubel x Juudai.

In The Shadows of the Fae: Juudai is the King of the Fae with Yubel and Johan as consorts, and Shou as his servant. A delicious AU that I enjoy. Established ships: Yubel x Juudai x Johan.

In Chains: Fantasy AU. Brron is gifted Shou as a slave, and Shou has to deal with that. Not easy. Established ships: Yubel x Juudai x Johan & Edo x Ryou x Saiou.

In Any World: A series of non-connected Yubel x Juudai AUs. Each is a one-shot and is in a different AU.

Past and Future: Yubel shows Juudai events that happened in their past lives together, as they forge a new future with one another. Yubel x Juudai.

To Accept Fate's Will: A soulmate AU. Established ships: Yubel x Juudai, Edo x Saiou x Ryou. O'Brien x Sea God's Priestess.

Hole In Your Heart: Not fighting means that Shou's in danger. Especially when he gets captured and sold to one of Haou's servants. As if his third year wasn't already going downhill. No actual ships that I know of (probable future Yubel x Juudai)

In Space, In Light: Juudai sent Yubel into space to be healed by the Gentle Darkness. In canon, it failed. Here, it worked. Uh-oh. Yubel x Juudai.

Paladin's Quest: post ending series. Ryou dies of heart failure and is reborn as a duel spirit without his memories of his past. But that's going to change, because what he did in Dark World cannot be forgotten.

In Darkness We Find FIre: An AU of my own devising, that I call Healer/Firestarter. Healers can heal & communicate/grow plants, and Firestarters bun things. There are a lot more details than that but this tale is a retelling of canon through that lens. Established ship: Yubel x Juudai.

Politics of Ages: Asuka is a vampire queen with two consorts: Manjoume and Ryou. Lots of vampiric politics.

Infinite Love: A magical AU with soulmates. Features Ryou x Yuusuke, Camula x Ruthven (OC), and Edo x Saiou.

Fate's Heart: Multiple tales of Yubel and Juudai as soulmates.

Power of Earth: Healer/Firestarter AU, featuring Jim and O'Brien.

Family Flowers: Healer/Firestarter AU, featuring Rick and Cobra.

Red Zinnias: Healer/FIrestarter AU, featuring Saiou and Edo

Destructive Flames: A merging of the Firestater/Healer AU and the Reversal AU. It's even less fun than the usual REvers - well, for values of fun.

Spirit Friends: People become friends with Duel Spirits aren't in their decks. Such as Wolf for Juudai and SQuall for Amon.

Bonds of Kinship: Exploring the relationship between Johan and the lookalike - his twin brother.

Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal

Order of the Outcasts: A fantasy AU loosely inspired by AD&D. The Order of the Outcasts is the Barians. Yuuma is a powerful healing mage and Astral is his fae companion. Much fun to be had! Co-written with SilvorMoon.

Hating Humanity: Durbe finds Nasch and Merag before the Astral Messenger arrive. Without Yuuma's influence, what will Nasch do? Durbe x Nasch.

Blurring: There are multiple ways to detect one's soulmate. Mizael has Vector's name on his right arm and Kaito's on his left - right arm is for the soulmate and left for the enemy.

Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V

Beat of Wings: Some characters have wings, including Yuuya, Yuuto, Yuugo, and Yuuri. And Shun. And others. No real ships (that I know of) and Yuuri is going to have fun!

Life With A Demon: Featuring Masumi x Yuzu, Asuka x Selena, and past Selena x Masumi. Demon AU, along with other creatures of magic.

Confusing: Yuuri has captured Shun and is training him to be a warrior of Fusion. Shun would rather not - but his mind is now Yuuri's plaything.

Angels, Demons, and Deciding Factors: Angel/demon AU. Yuuri is a demon, who encounters the angel Shun in his territory. Yuuri decides that he wants this angel for his own - mostly because Shun doesn't want that, nor does Yuuto. M rated/consent issues/brainwashing.

Dragon and Falcon: Yuuri's a dragon & Shun's a shapeshifting falcon. Yuuri claimed Shun as a part of his hoard and his servant. And it just seems that dragon saliva does something to shapeshifters. non-con/drugged Yuuri x Shun.

Soulwings: In this AU, when soulmates meet one another (or when one's true purpose is found), wings are developed. So when Kaito and Edo cross paths... Established Kaito x Edo and alluded to Yuuri x Shun.

[witchelny]

Hi. I kinda lost access to Digimon for a while when I was young and mostly forgot about it. I remember that it was awsome and loving parts of the original series. I was thinking of trying to get back into it. Do you have any recomendations?

I am probably unhelpful in this because I haven’t watched many of the recent seasons besides Xros Wars/Fusion. But if you’re getting back into it, I would honestly recommend that you rewatch the original season! The Adventure dub is on Netflix (at least in the U.S.) but if you want a “new” experience while reliving your childhood memories I’d recommend watching the subtitled version, because it gave me some new insights on things I wouldn’t have noticed as a kid through a cultural lens.

If you’re having trouble convincing yourself it’s a good idea to sit down and watch 52 episodes of a kid’s show from the late 90s, I actually initially got backed into Digimon because some of my friends decided to rewatch the movie while we were hanging out one night. The American Digimon movie (just called “Digimon the Movie”) is actually three different short films grafted together - the Digimon Adventure pilot episode, Our War Game, and Hurricane Touchdown (there is also a fourth film called “Diaboromon Strikes Back” that’s a sequel to Our War Game, but it’s not included in Digimon the Movie). Those films - each are about 30 minutes long if I remember correctly - could be an easy & quick way to get yourself hyped up about Digimon without having to commit to a whole season.

Besides Adventure and the second season, Adventure 02, the rest of the seasons of Digimon all take place in different universes. Of those seasons, I have only seen Xros Wars/Fusion and Tamers. Tamers is a big fav for me because it is, imo, very well-written, but it takes on a darker, more existential tone than the Adventure series so it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Xros Wars/Fusion is extremely different because it takes the entire traditional concept of digivolving and throws it out the window, instead opting to have Digimon become more powerful by fusing together. I like Xros Wars because, since Taiki (the protag) is a general commanding an army of Digimon rather than a tamer/chosen with a single partner, I feel like the Digimon stand on equal ground with the humans and are free to develop friendships with each other & the other human kids.

I keep meaning to watch Frontier because there is a lot of Digital World lore in it, which is my shit, but I have trouble getting over the “humans turning into Digimon” gimmick which, I admit, is a personal problem on my part. And I actually have the DVDs for Masaru’s season (which I can’t remember the name of) and just... haven’t watched it... OTL but tbh I know literally NOTHING about Masaru’s season besides that he seems older and has an Agumon as a partner.

There is also a Digimon movie that I like besides the ones I mentioned above called Digimon X-Evolution that’s... honestly done in pretty outdated CGI so it looks kinda bad, but I feel it throws in a bit of worldbuilding lore while also being the ONLY piece of Digimon media in which there are no humans, just Digimon.

I’m gonna stop soon because this is getting long & overwhelming but there’s also a few Digimon manga. I have heard good things about V-Tamers but have not read it, and it seems to have some overlapping characters with Digimon Adventure but in an AU sort of way. I also obsess over the Xros Wars manga, which takes a different plot path than the anime does and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

My opinion of the Digimon series

I have decided to review digimon adventure and here's my opinion: The first two arc are more childlike fun, but the next two bows are well mature and epic, the real-world invasion is more realistic than several "adult" anime's, he is very mature for a children's anime and the series is a lot better than I remembered, it is really good,  nor does it need nostalgia to see her, she did not get worse like most animes that is reviewed older, she actually improved and I've never seen a children's drawing will kill so many characters. The characters are well-developed, they all have a background story and they learn to mature, they are all charismatic and well-developed, and you can not believe it's a child's drawing.

I finished seeing the series and here's my opinion; The series is good although it is inferior to the previous one, it has many episodes fillers that are of no use, the arc in the real world of three parts is horrible, but the arc of Daemon is great but ends without end, who knows they exploit him and the black ocean better in Tri, the new characters are inferior to those of the 1, taking Ken who is great and the best, Archnemon was a better villain at first, but later became the rocket team of the series, BlackwarGreymon was a great character and the Its story ended looking like it could have been better explored, in fact the series is full of a wasted potential.

Here is my opinion: It is the best Digimon series, with the most realistic and serious history, the weirdest digital world as it looked even different, the digimon mentality as something just programmed, to defeat and absorb data from the defeated digimons , The final stretch was epic, seriously it gave Juri a lot of pain in this final arc, she suffered all the time and even talks about killing herself, but in the end she learns to overcome her losses from her mother and Leomon (he died again in the series, was only a short time as her partner, he only served to die and have her arc), the villain was great being an evolving AI and went to another dimesão (his final appearance reminded Evangelion),, This time the humans helped a lot in the battles using the cards they did not serve only to be screaming, the main trio is well developed along with Juri, the rest was just rest, Ryo was the most mysterious character, did not show him when he was not with the others, we do not know how he thinks or how he managed to merge with his digimon, in this Adventure 01 was superior with all the characters developed, some more and some less (taking Hikari Deus Ex Machina) but both have qualities and are in the same Level with great character development and history, the defeat of the final villain was intelligent and had logic of arc with the story, did not have a Deus Ex Machina in which they defeat him with the power of the feelings, the serif is better than the so-called "adult" series and has neither foot nor head or character development.

This fourth series of digimon can be considered one of the weaker series although it is still a good series for children. One of the things to talk about this season is that the kids themselves turn into digimons and have no partners, which was refreshing, and they really fought not only gave orders (which made several villains wonder why they fought for a world they were not of them) and I found the design of legendary warriors very cool and I liked the protagonists that even though they were not so developed their traumas compared to other series still matured and the one who owned the best story for me was that of the twins, that whole part of him as evil and its story was quite touching clear that the series has some flaws as it has many episode fillers and episodic, such as an entire episode to clear a train, the holy warrior villains taking out Mercuremon no threat, even the arc of the royal knigth even being repetitive I Cherubimon and Lucemon were good villains, the first being with a good history and menacing and the second one of the best and most powerful villains of the franchise, I liked the concept of digi-code in which the areas were absorbed, the history has logic with a progression without holes of script, different from Adventure 01 in That the villains only appear one after the other without any connection between them, another defect is that by taking Takuya and Koji the others stop to gain evolutions, these two have two evolutions more than the rest, all series always focus more on the protagonist and the anti-social boy, this one was the most exaggerated, the others Children have become practically cheerleaders in the middle of the series, I missed a real world arc that in other series for me was always one of the best parts, this series tries very much to want to be an adventure 2.0. However I quite liked her, the characters and their story, of course not one of the best still worth seeing, she is better than Adventure 02, and of course KaiserLeomon had to die to keep the tradition.

I finished the series: I liked it a lot, it has a slow start but soon after to get better and better, I liked the fact that the half-serial villains are human something unheard of in Digimon, Kurata was the villain gave more rage of all series and I wanted to kill him, I liked the idea of ​​the Bio-Hybrids although they could have appeared more, about the most developed characters were Tohmas and Ikuto the rest practically had no development, the protagonist practically stayed the same from beginning to end he was the protagonist that I less liked in digimon, in fact several moments I was angry or rolled his eyes when he talked about "talk with the fists" or talk of a real man or other shit like that, he took several Deus Ex Machina out of nowhere And did several impossible things, I was angry when he broke the shield of Craniamon with his fist and several other scenes so, already the girl was the personage with less prominence and development she only had an episode centered in its past and personality and she was to be the girl of the group, I liked the final bow with the Royal Knight and Yggdrasil, and neither speak of the death of Bancholeomon. This was a good series that resembled a little Tamers with the human company, the biggest focus on the human world, the climate and a more digital digital world and less narnia (I'm talking about you frontier).

I liked the series although it has some problems: most of the digimons are useless and of no use, having very few apparitions, the two friends of the protagonists are useless that are of no use, the protagonist himself is a Gary Stu, he is Super intelligent, always makes plans, helps everyone, he is altruistic, their only development is at the end of the series and even so it is fast, Nene and Kiriha are the best characters of the series and with stories of background and development, although the personality of Kiriha was very exaggerated and Nene switched her main digimon to Mervamon that served practically only to fanservice, her "relationship" with Beelzebumon came out of nowhere and was forced, and also where Kiriha and Nene took their new clothes in the second half, in fact where Nene took that lot of fantasies out of nowhere? And also Lilithmon and Blastmon in the second part of the series became comic reliefs without any function, Bagramon was a useless person who just sat and did nothing, he brought Kiriha to the digital world for no reason, did not try to bring him to his side , He ignored him and let him do whatever he wanted and destroy his armies, if his general had not revealed the truth and tried to bring him to his side he would have continued to ignore him, so why the hell did you bring him? DarkKnightmon was the best villain in the series and used his head and made plans, he was smart using Nene and then manipulating Yuu making him think that everything was a game. Despite all this the series is worth only, the battles are good, on a good idea and I quite enjoyed and I enjoyed the series, and they had to kill Apolllomon twice and Madleomon, someone in Digimon must hate lions digimons.

This is the worst series digimon, It has several problems, the protagonist is the worst of all, maybe the worst character in general of all, he is super annoying, retarded and does not think of not, only in "hunts", he who practically captures all the digimons of the series and has all the battles, Taiki and Yuu can count on the fingers of one hand the number of battles they has besides that they had practically no episodes centered on them were only figurations, and while in the previous series the digimons seemed their own characters and the protagonists were only the generals of the battles in this they became generic pokemons that only served to be captured and had no personality, the rival Hunters also had no development in the series, you have in the end they helping them as if they were protagonists being that we neither saw them repent of their questionable attitudes which they did during the series as if they just out of nowhere became heroes being that Ren was the one with the worst development, he had featured in only 1 episode filler you could take him out of the series that would not change anything he just served to have the same number Of characters in both teams, Ryouma then did not show any angry / sad scene by his partner who was together with him for a year was manipulating him and using him the whole time, the characters of the other series only appeared to fanservice, they did not serve to nothing in the end and Masaru have defeated several VenomVandemon and MaloVamdemon only with punches! I remember how I was angry with him, although now he is no longer the worst protagonist (and according to the last episode we found that a hero needs to have goggles, sorry Masaru), they must have realized that the series had no history and they put them there at the end so the fans did not notice the defects, and the main problem of the series was that of the 25 episodes, 20 must have been fillers that were not useful, they could have used these episodes to have developed the other characters and the final revelation about Astamon came out of nowhere without any hint and the final battle against the villain that seemed to have come out of Evangelion was only Tagiru alone defeating him, which combined with the series since he was the only character who fought and did everything in it (it was worse than Frontier in that at least it was two characters who did everything and had a highlight, at least the others had developments), one of the few good sides of the Series was that finally Akari and Zenjirou gained digivice although it was only in the last two episodes (it must have been only because of the people who complained and because they were the only main Digimon characters they did not have) and also the fact of the old man's mystery of the clock, as he was reborn as a good digimon who wanted to help others and is in search of his younger brother.
