Digimon Story: Time Stranger

Some time after the first Titan invasion of the human world, the Titans took over the Factorial Area and renovated it into a theme park with a colosseum built on top of its north-eastern side. It was supervised by Callismon, the "Absolute Champion" who rules over the colosseum with an iron fist. Courtesy of the terror imposed by Callismon, the Factorial Area is safer and more prosperous than other Titan-compromised areas. In a usual timeline, the party will try to ask Grappu Leomon to join them to go there to talk with Callismon, but they are held back by Sagisaka Hiroko. As Grappu Leomon had no intent to be accompanied by the party, he will go speak with Callismon only to be slain.

The party officially visits there alongside Grappu Leomon to help him confront his older brother, after they travel back in time and put off Hiroko's invitation to convince Grappu Leomon to go with them. They fight four bouts of enemies consisting of Matadrmon and Minotaurmon; "Circus in debt" (Skull Mammon, Piemon and Tonosama Gekomon), a Death Meramon and the Saikyo KoGals (Lopmon and Terriermon). After defeating the team consisting of Lopmon and Terriermon, Callismon will respond to Grappu Leomon's call and appear instantly right after. Grappu Leomon tries to talk Callismon down like before, and he goes berserk and attacks the party. Halfway into the battle, Misono Inori gives him words of encouragement, allowing him to evolve into Marsmon and seemingly put his older brother down for good (In actuality, Callismon survived and was cured by Venusmon). From that point on, Marsmon takes over operations in the colosseum.

Following the incident, Yuki Dan/Yuki Kanan can partake in the event known as the "Greatest Omega Carnival" where they can fight through numerous foes, including Digimon that they have encountered in the story prior in a long-term sidequest. If they defeat all foes, they can challenge Marsmon to a battle. For more about this event, see here.

Trivia

• The New Order team is formed by XV-mon and Stingmon. Furthermore, XV-mon says they have a "secret weapon" for an emergency. This is a reference to Digimon Adventure 02, where XV-mon and Stingmon were Jogress partners who could fuse together into Paildramon. In Digimon Story: Time Stranger proper, they can also do this, both in-battle and out of it, both to Paildramon and to Dinobeemon.
• Gear Forest's Lilamon and Stingmon move to the High-Rise Colosseum during the timeskip, with Lilamon's crush on Stingmon fully intact. As in Gear Forest, this is a reference to Digimon Xros Wars, in which the same situation happened.
• In the Greatest Omega Carnival, there is a team consisting of a Seraphimon and an Ofanimon giving blind praise to Lucemon. This a joke reference to Digimon Frontier, where Seraphimon and Ofanimon were opposition to Lucemon.
• The team "Covert honey corps, Royal Commando" is described as "Vespamon ranked as the top 0.08% of their kind, codenamed "Tiger"", a reference to Tiger Vespamon's own Digimon Reference Book entry.
• Holograms of Leomon, Were Garurumon and Mach Gaogamon can be seen over the arena.
