Digimon Adventure (Novelization)

A trilogy of novelizations of Digimon Adventure, written by series production staff Kakudou Hiroyuki and Masaki Hiro, were released in 2001. They were published by Shueisha under their imprint.

Although the novelizations adapt the general story of Adventure, they were not intended as an exact retelling. Many scenarios and events play out differently from the original series. Additionally, there is an extensive amount of added characterization, motivation, backstory and lore details, including plot points that had first been introduced in Digimon Adventure 02 rather than Adventure, as well as ideas of Kakudou's that made it into neither series.

Synopsis

 * Main article: Digimon Adventure

In the summer of 1999, seven children attending summer camp are unexpectedly taken into a new and unfamiliar world, where they meet seven Digimon who have been waiting for them. The children and their Digimon set out to figure out where they are and find a way home, fighting for survival against the other hostile Digimon who inhabit the world, but when they learn that have been brought into the Digital World for a higher purpose, they accept the responsibility of resolving the crisis facing it, as well as the role of the "Chosen Children." Even as their travels continue and they face the powerful evil Digimon who threaten both the Digital World and their own world, they also face their own inner demons and begin to mature, and as they do, their partner Digimon become able to evolve into stronger and stronger forms.

General

 * The Tags are entirely omitted from the novelizations' version of events. As such, the Crests can be used by themselves.
 * Whereas in the anime, all of the Chosen Children (sans Yagami Hikari) find their Crests during the Etemon sub-arc (episodes 15-20), only Yagami Taichi does so during this time in the novelizations. Instead, the others all receive theirs at different points during the novelizations' version of the Vamdemon sub-arc and the Tokyo arc (adapted from episodes 22 to 38), as noted below.
