Digimon Adventure

Digimon Adventure (デジモンアドベンチャー Dejimon Adobanchaa) is the first series of Digimon.

This season aired on Sundays at 9:00 AM UTC+9 on Fuji TV, replacing the 1998 TV remake of Himitsu no Akko-chan (ひみつのアッコちゃん) commencing on March 7, 1999 and ending on March 26, 2000. It was replaced by Digimon Adventure 02 (デジモンアドベンチャー 02). (still under construction)

=Story= A group of seven children at summer camp are whisked to another world - the Digital World, a parallal reality inhabited by creatures called Digimon. There, they discovered that they were chosen to save the Digital World from the evil forces that threaten to destroy it. To do this, each child is partnered with a Digimon and is given the responsibility to help their Digimon evolve to the next level, growing stronger to defeat the enemy. As they fight to survive in the wild new world, they learn many things about the world and themselves.

Traveling to the Digital World was an experience that left the children bewildered. Their Digimon partners were suddenly thrusted upon them, as well as the concept of having the Digimon Digivolve, a process by which they transform into stronger creatures to fend off enemy Digimon. Thus, the children had to learn how to be DigiDestined as they went along.

Soon they learned of the Digital World's plight, that evil Digimon intent on ruling it for themselves. They vowed to save it in spite of missing the life they had left behind. The DigiDestined promised to save DigiWorld because they saw that Digimon, though made of data, were as intelligent as humans. They did not want them to suffer; furthermore, it was demonstrated to them that no one else could defeat the Digital World's enemies.

Digimon Adventure was originally supposed to be 13 episodes, as Toei Animation was not sure how popular it would become. As the ratings and popularity grew, it was extended to 54 episodes. This fact is apparent with episode 13 when Devimon is defeated and the aftermath of such.

As the plot evolved, the children dealt with various aspects of maturity: making friends, being courageous, standing for one's morals, etcetera. Each child given an object called a "Crest" that embodied a particular personality trait that they had to demonstrate to get their partners to Digivolve to a higher level. Yagami Taichi possessed the trait of Courage; Ishida Yamato, Friendship; Takenouchi Sora, Love; Tachikawa Mimi, Purity; Izumi Koushirou, Knowledge; Kido Jou, Sincerity; and Takaishi Takeru, Hope. It is later revealed that at the time they were chosen to become the DigiDestined (during the Greymon versus Parrotmon fight when they were only at least 7-8 (except Takeru and Hikari who were at least 5-6)) that these traits were the strongest good trait within their personality. Taichi was always courageous when he had to be. Yamato was always a good friend. Koushiro was even then very knowledgeable. Jou was highly sincere. Sora was genuinely loving and caring towards everyone (to say that her crest of love is love at the level of compassion (the ability to care for others)). Mimi has pure feelings. Takeru was one who always was hopeful and never willing to give up and Hikari was just genuinely good and always wanted to do what was right (standing for the light which represents all that is good and right).

Eventually, evil Digimon began crossing a dimensional gate from the Digital World to enter Earth. The DigiDestined and their partners followed. Specifically, they landed in Odaiba, Japan, the children's home town. As the DigiDestined battled on Earth, they were joined by an eighth member, Yagami Hikari, Tai's sister and carrier of the trait of Light. While this was happening, a group of four Ultimate level Digimon called the Dark Masters besieged the Digital World. Once things were taken care of on Earth, the eight DigiDestined returned to the Digital World once again in order to defeat the Dark Masters one by one, and eventually their ultimate enemy, Apocalymon, the Digimon who made of all the evil Digimon the DigiDestined had previously destroyed. When Apocalymon was defeated, the children went back to the Real World, leaving their Digimon partners behind. (They were reunited with their Digimon in the movie Our War Game!.)

Digimon Adventure (Movie)
This film acts like a pilot episode for Digimon Adventure. The first story focused on Tai and Kari Kamiya four years before their adventure in the Digital World. It shows their first encounter with Digimon and what happened to them (as well as the other children that saw it became the other DigiDestined) when they participated in their first Digimon battle after raising a quickly growing Botamon. In the story, that Digimon hatches from a Digi-egg and eventually evolved into Greymon to fight a Parrotmon who appeared in the city. The movie was used in episodes of Digimon Adventure to explain why Taichi and company became DigiDestined.

Our War Game!
(デジモンアドベンチャー　ぼくらのウォーゲーム Dejimon Adobenchā: Bokura no Uō Gēmu!) The second story shows many of the DigiDestined, but primarily focuses on Matt, Tai, Izzy, and T.K., as they end up saving the day when a computer virus Digimon raises havoc all over the world through the Internet. The kids must stop the evil Digimon quickly before he provokes the launching of a nuclear ICBM aimed at Japan (where the kids live). Tai and Matt end up getting so worried about their Digimon (in the form of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon) badly losing to the evil Digimon Diaboromon that they actually phase into the Internet and miraculously give them the power to destroy him in time. Both Digimon merge, evolving into the powerful Omnimon. However, Diaboromon is still too fast, until Izzy comes up with the idea to redirect e-mails that they are receiving from children watching the battle all over the world via the internet to slow Diaboromon down, allowing Omnimon to finish him off just before the missiles hit. In the end, the deactivated ICBM lands harmlessly in Tokyo Bay. =Staff= =Cast= =Theme Songs= =External links=
