Go! Go!! Digimon (ゆけ!ゆけ!!デジモン Yuke! Yuke!! Dejimon) is a four-chapter manga written and illustrated by Yabuno Tenya. It was published in the guidebook Digital Monster: I'll Become the Digimon King! and follows the siblings Digi and Mon, who learn how to raise Digital Monsters under the guidance of the Coach while aspiring to become Digimon Kings. The chapters are divided into three sections, "Teach us, Coach!!" (教えて師匠!! Oshiete Shishou!!), which has the Coach giving instructions about the Digital Monster, "Brother's doing!!" (兄やってんだ!! Ani Yattenda!!), and "A girl♥" (女の子だモン♥ On'nanoko da mon♥).
Development[edit]
The characters and premise of Go! Go!! Digimon were first introduced in V Jump during the original promotion of the Digital Monster virtual pet. A feature published in the issue following the product's initial announcement presented Digi, Mon and the Coach, stating that they would subsequently be active in the magazine under the slogan "Aim to become a Digimon King!!" (めざせ!デジモンキング Mezase! Dejimon Kingu). The feature described Digi as a hot-blooded fourth-grade student who aspired to become the strongest Digital Monster user, Mon as his younger sister, and the Coach as a fifth-grade student who had mastered the Digital Monster ahead of them and taught Digi how to raise his partner.
Another contemporary feature promoted an upcoming V Jump Game Series guidebook under the provisional title Digital Monster: I'll Become a Digimon Master! (デジタルモンスター デジモンマスターになるんだモン Dejitaru Monsutā: Dejimon Masutā ni Narunda Mon), originally scheduled for release on July 31, 1997. The book was ultimately released on September 8 under the title Digital Monster: I'll Become the Digimon King! and included all four chapters of Go! Go!! Digimon.
Story[edit]
Digi and his younger sister Mon receive their own Digital Monster devices and set out to become Digimon Kings. After activating the devices, neither sibling knows how to hatch the Digitama displayed on the screen. The Coach, a fifth-grade student reputed to be an expert Digimon raiser, appears and teaches them the devices' basic operations.
When Digi's Botamon hatches, he immediately begins feeding it without restraint. The Coach intervenes again and explains how food, training and other forms of care affect a Digimon's growth. Although Digi's inexperience frequently causes him to make mistakes, he begins experimenting with unusual training methods in the hope of raising an exceptionally powerful Digimon. Mon, meanwhile, treats her partner more like a pet and focuses on raising it because she finds Digimon cute.
The siblings continue raising their partners and eventually compete against one another, with Mon defeating her older brother despite his greater enthusiasm and ambition. Her Digimon ultimately evolves into Monzaemon, while Digi succeeds in raising the particularly difficult-to-obtain Airdramon. Digi later challenges the Coach, pitting Airdramon against his Greymon. Airdramon defeats Greymon and subsequently evolves into Metal Greymon, demonstrating the results of Digi's unconventional approach to raising his partner.
