Digimon Adventure (デジモンアドベンチャー Dejimon Adobenchā?) (1999) is the first season of the anime saga Digimon: Digital Monsters. Its premise involves a group of preteens being whisked away to a parallel universe called the Digital World (sometimes called "DigiWorld" for short) while at summer camp. They were taken there because they were chosen to become DigiDestined, the children that would save DigiWorld (along with Earth itself near the end of the series) from the evil forces that threatened to destroy it. Each of the children received a creature that was preprogrammed to be bonded to them, their Digimon partners, as well as miniature devices called Digivices. With the power of the Digivices, their Digimon partners could become stronger forms to battle enemies or save their partners from danger.

[edit] Plot summary
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 sentient as human beings. They did not want these feeling creatures to suffer; furthermore, it was demonstrated to them that no one else could defeat the Digital World's enemies.
As the plot evolved, the children dealt with various aspects of growing up: making friends, being courageous, standing up for one's morals, etc. Each child was 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. Tai Kamiya possessed the trait of Courage; Matt Ishida, Friendship; Sora Takenouchi, Love; Mimi Tachikawa, Sincerity; Izzy Izumi, Knowledge; Joe Kido, Reliability; and T.K. Takaishi, Hope.
Eventually, evil Digimon began crossing a dimensional gate from the Digital World to enter the Real World (what Digimon call planet Earth). The DigiDestined and their partners followed. Specifically, they landed in Odaiba, Japan, the children's hometown. As the DigiDestined battled in the Real World, they were joined by an eighth member, Kari Kamiya, Tai's sister and carrier of the trait of Light. While this was happening, a group of four Digimon called the Dark Masters besieged the Digital World. Once things were taken care of in the Real World, the eight DigiDestined returned to the Digital World once again in order to defeat the Dark Masters and the final enemy, Apocalymon, the Digimon who created all of the evil Digimon the DigiDestined had previously faced. When Apocalymon was destroyed 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!".)
The series was highly regarded and garnered millions of viewers. It became the third largest anime export out of Japan, after Sailor Moon and Pokémon.[citation needed]

[edit] Characters
The English version of Digimon Adventure was somewhat unique at the time it was dubbed. Most anime dubbed in the 1990s changed the names of characters and locales for the sake of localization. In Digimon, however, most names of the DigiDestined remained unchanged or were shortened to Americanized nicknames. Some Digimon names were modified into English equivalents, and in rare cases to Japanese equivalents.
The eight DigiDestined children are listed first, followed by their Digimon partners.

Digimon Adventure aired 54 episodes on Fuji TV in Japan from March 7, 1999 to March 26, 2000. In the United States it aired on Fox Kids from August 14, 1999 to June 24, 2000. In Germany, Digimon Adventure aired on RTL II from August 14, 2000 to July 7, 2001.
[edit] Digital World
The Digital World (abbreviated as "DigiWorld") is a parallel universe created from data inside Earth's communications networks. It is the place where all Digimon live, and where the DigiDestined fight the majority of their battles.
DigiWorld's data manifested into a physical form via the wishes of human children. The data reformed inside another parallel universe, a "dream dimension" that has the power to turn mental desires into reality. The Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western ends of the Digital World are individually guarded by one of the four Harmonious Ones, benevolent Digimon who ensure the Digital World's well-being.
When an evil being emerged from beyond the Digital World's Wall of Fire, the Digital World's chronology was warped, throwing it out of sync with Earth, making it much older than it would be under normal circumstances - one Earth minute was equal to one Digital World day. Prophecy foretells that any time the Digital World is threatened by evil, a new group of children from each generation, called the DigiDestined, will come to the Digital World and save it. The DigiDestined for each generation were selected by a mysterious group, charged with the DigiWorld's protection. When the eight children of this generation witnessed a battle between a Greymon and a Parrotmon, the group chose them, and constructed their Digivices, Tags and Crests. A brutal attack by the Dark Masters left the whole group dead, save for Gennai, who was able to escape and hide the DigiDestined’s' Digivices and seven DigiEggs until their time came. When Devimon began to take over File Island with his Black Gears, the time for the DigiDestined to be summoned came, and the Digivices were dispatched, transporting seven chosen children into the Digital World, where they battled with the evil Digimon there.
Myotismon attempted to conquer both the Digital World and Earth by killing the Eighth Child - the predestined eighth member of the DigiDestined. He opened a portal to Earth and led his army on an assault on Central Odaiba in the search for the child, who was eventually revealed to be Kari, little sister of Tai, leader of the DigiDestined. When Myotismon was finally stopped, a rift opened to the Digital World - but it had been horrifically changed. In the few days that the DigiDestined had been back on Earth, years had passed in the Digital World, and the Dark Masters had risen again, and conquered the entire world, reformatting it into the massive Spiral Mountain. When the kids defeated the Dark Masters, they were confronted with the being who had created the four monstrosities - Apocalymon. Apocalymon was bent on sharing his sorrow with the rest of reality, and didn't care if he lived or died in doing so. Thankfully, the kids defeated him. With his defeat, the Digital World began to reformat itself into its original form, free of evil, also putting it back in synch with Earth-time, meaning time would move to the same pace in both worlds. After the battle with Diaboromon, Gennai called the DigiDestined back to the DigiWorld, where they released the powers of their Crests, creating a shield which restored peace to the DigiWorld, expelling all evil.
[edit] Movies
Digimon: The Movie, released in the US and Canada territory by Fox Kids in October 2000, consists of the union of the first three Japanese movies. Those stories are based in the universe introduced in the first two seasons of the TV series.
[edit] Digimon Adventure (The movie)
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) 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.
[edit] 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 Wō 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 nuclear warheads 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 missiles land harmlessly in Tokyo Bay.
[edit] CD Dramas
[edit] Digimon Adventure Original Story 2nen han no Kyuuka
This audio drama (NECA-30081[2]) focuses on the two and a half years between Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02.[3] It was only released in Japanese, and the title translates as "Original Story, 2-and-a-Half Year Break". It has separate tracks for Tai (set November, 1999), Joe (set May, 2000), Sora (set October, 2000), Izzy (set April, 2001), Mimi (set September, 2001), and Matt (set March, 2002).
In Tai's track, Whistle, a digital gate opens, allowing Tai to communicate briefly with Agumon. The sound of his sister's whistle, left in the Digital World with Gatomon, alerted him to the open gate.
In Joe's track, Telephone, he confides in his brother Shin that he now wants to become a doctor because he wished to do something about the suffering he saw in the Digital World.
In Sora's track, Letter to my Father, she writes about Joe's eldest brother, Shin, becoming her father's student in mythology, that her mother is teaching her to play tennis, and that her school will be going to Kyoto on a trip soon.
In Izzy's track, Chat, Izzy is e-mailing Gennai. He comments on Gennai "becoming younger", and that there are actually many more Digidestined around the world. In addition, he wonders what the causes of the Greymon/Parrotmon battle in 1995 may have been.
In Mimi's track, Video Mail, Mimi has recently moved to New York City. She relates in graphic detail her experiences of the September 11, 2001 attacks, and that she met other DigiDestined helping to clear away the rubble. She also wonders if Digimon were actually around before the creation of the computer network.
In Matt's track, As I Play the Bass, Matt appears to be talking on the telephone to his father, whilst practicing the bass guitar. He finds out that his father used to be in a band, and also says that T.K. and his mother will be moving into Odaiba soon. Matt also mentions that the events relating the Digimon appear to have been wiped from video records.
Overall, the audio drama, set between Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02, serves to bridge the gap between the two seasons in terms of the changing personalities of the original DigiDestined, and especially in the case of Chat, to provide further insight into some plot holes.
[edit] Digimon Adventure - Character Song - Mini Drama 2
This CD drama[4] focuses on a love letter that Izzy is writing. Throughout the drama, the other DigiDestined and their Digimon try and determine who he is writing it to, and several of the female DigiDestined wonder and even argue if he's writing it to them.
In Koushiro and the Missing Whereabouts of Love, the other DigiDestined find Izzy writing the love letter and try to get him to confess who he's writing it to. But Izzy gets Tentomon to Digivolve to Kabuterimon and flies off on him before the others can badger the answer from him. They pursue him in order to find out.
In Mimi's Overly Self-Conscious Plans for World Domination, the female DigiDestined (Kari, Mimi, and Sora) wonder if Izzy wrote the letter for one of them, and if so, which one? A small, but comical and friendly, argument breaks out over as to whom it could be.
In Hikari's Weak Constitution, the boys try to calm the girls down, only to be ensnarled in the affair themselves. Kari finally resolves the situation. The true intended recipient for the love letter is revealed by Izzy, but is purposely bleeped out in order to keep the listeners in the dark as to whom the letter was really for.
[edit] English dub edits
- In the episode "Evil Shows His Face", two scenes were cut out:
- Devimon is shown putting a black gear into an opening in Leomon's back he made with his claws.
- Part of the bath scene was cut because of the nudity of Tai, Matt, and Joe. However, in the episode "The Dark Network of Etemon", another bath scene where Mimi's bath is interrupted due to Tai and Izzy walking in on her (and her covering her chest) was not edited. This is however likely for humour effects.
- Puppetmon's hide-and-seek game with TK was edited as it involved the villain using a gun with dum-dum bullets. T.K.'s lines were also changed a bit to make him sound less cruel when he tricks Puppetmon.
- A scene where Mushroomon and Blossomon are shot is edited out. Since they were covering T.K.'s movements, this leaves him appearing behind the door out of nowhere in the dub.
- When Apocalymon is talking and cuts through his skin, green blood is edited out.
- In several fight scenes, frames where the fists or slaps connect are cut though in most instances it was made clear that the contact was made (i.e, characters exclaimed, faces were left red and so on)
- All music in the show and first three movies is replaced with stock music from Saban's Masked Rider series in the English dub.
- Joe has a lot of health problems in the dub, such as weight problems, asthma, nasal congestion, bad knees, claustrophobia, allergies to everything under the sun, breaking out in hives in the dark, and paranoia. He does not have any of these in the Japanese version.
- In the original Japanese version of episode 30, "Almost Home Free", the man who picked up the Digidestined was not Sora's cousin, but a stranger. [5] Similarly, another scene where Matt tried to get a ride was cut out since he was nearly picked up by a strange female.
- In the original Japanese version of episode 34, "The Eighth Child Revealed", Myotismon tortured Salamon by whipping her. That scene however, was edited in the dub to remove the shots of Myotismon's whip hitting Salamon.
- Some scenes are switched between episodes to create cliffhangers.[1]
[edit] Trivia
- Scenes from the episode "Almost Home Free" appeared in the background of the 2003 film Bad Boys 2. When Martin Lawrence's character Marcus Burnett and Will Smith's character Mike Lowrey was talking about Marcus' family, the scene shows Marcus' daughter Megan Burnett watching an episode of Digimon.
- In the comedy sitcom The Hughleys, one of the main characters, Micheal, is often seen wearing a Digimon Adventure t-shirt.
