This timeline is for the original Japanese
version of the show. Japanese names are used for the sake of
difference, and as I don't know the episode names, they are not
included.
1939-42
The ABC (Atanasoff-Berry Computer) - the very first computer - is built, and lays down the foundations of the DigiWorld (from Brave Tamer video game, see next entry).
1943-1946
The first patented digital computer, ENIAC (Electronic Numerical
Integrator And Computer), is created. With it's activation, the
foundations laid by the ABC are built upon, and the DigiWorld is
created. From the ABC and ENIAC, various multiple DigiWorld
realities grow, which run parallel with the various multiple
Earth realities in existence in the multiverse.
This information comes from the "Brave Tamer" video
game. While continuity glitches between the games and anime mean
that the video games may or may not be in continuity, this game
explains that all the myriad "alternate universes" in
Digimon - "Digimon Adventure," "Digimon
Tamers," "Digimon Frontier," etc - all grew out of
ENIAC and the ABC. Hence, the ENIAC explanation can be taken as
canon for this and all timelines.
One iteration of the DigiWorld also runs closely parallel to
two other unrelated dimensions - one, a kalidoscopic world that
possesses the power to transform thoughts and dreams into
reality, and the other, a grim, foreboding ocean that has the
ability to make the dark thoughts of others come to life. While
the dream dimension appears uninhabited, the World of Darkness is
known to be occupied, at the very least, by Dagomon and his
sevants. The DigiWorld is tied closely to both these worlds, and
absorbs a fraction of the dream dimension's power to make
thoughts reality. Meanwhile, as the years pass, databytes from
Earth's Internet continue to add to the Digital World, while at
the same time, the DigiWorld's portion of the dream dimension's
power starts to give form to the thoughts, dreams, myths and
spiritual beliefs of Earth's populace - combined with digital
data, this merging produces Digimon, the inhabitants of the
DigiWorld.
198?
Yukio Oikawa and Hiroki Hida make contact with the DigiWorld as
young boys via Hiroki's video game system. Hiroki's father,
Chikara, puts a stop to what he considers childish games. Hiroki
and Oikawa are heartbroken, but stay together, sharing their
dreams of visiting the DigiWorld some day.
19??
An evil being comes from beyond the Wall of Fire, and the
original five Chosen Children are called upon to battle and
defeat it.
19??
Another being comes from beyond the Wall of Fire (later to be
known as Apocalymon). It has been said that the
time-travelling Millenniumon was resposible for breaking the seal
that allowed this being to enter the DigiWorld. It's
presence, like the first being, causes the DigiWorld to warp,
throwing its time out of synch with that of Earth, and creating
evil Digimon, among them, the Dark Masters. This time warp
effect, coupled with that caused by the first being, makes the
DigiWorld a lot older than it would be under normal
circumstances, hence the reason that older processes such as
Armour evolving can be called "ancient."
199?
Out Of Continuity
A Digi-Egg emerges through the computer of a young boy named
Wallace, and hatches into twin Digimon. As time passes, the
Digimon evolve into their Baby 2 stages.
1995
At Hikarigaoka, in Tokyo, Japan, a Digi-Egg emerges through the
computer of Taichi and Hikari Yagami. The egg hatches into a
Botamon, which evolves into a Koromon, an Agumon, and then a
Greymon, to battle Parrotmon, who emerges from a gateway to the
DigiWorld that exists at Hikarigaoka. During the course of the
battle, it seems the two Digimon destroy each other, but in
reality, they are drawn back into the DigiWorld, and Taichi,
Hikari and six other children watching the fight are chosen by
the Powers That Be of the DigiWorld to be the next Chosen
Children.
Out of Continuity
As the battle between Greymon and Parrotmon happens in Japan, in
Colorado, Chocomon, one of Wallace's Digimon, is taken away by a
dark energy, pulled into another dimension, where he is infected
with a virus and driven insane.
Between 1995 and July 1999
In Japan, the eight children move out of Hikarigaoka, the
memories of what they saw suppressed, the damage done by the
battle blamed on a terrorist bombing.
Hiroki Hida dies, taking a bullet for an important political
figure. He leaves behind a wife and son (Iori), and a shattered
Oikawa.
In the DigiWorld, the mystery group that watches over it fashion
the Digivices, Tags, Crests, and the Digi-Eggs that will hatch
into Digimon that will belong the eight new Chosen Children. A
brutal attack by the Dark Masters leaves the whole group dead,
save for Gennai. Piemon steals the Crests and Tags, while Gennai
escapes with the Digi-Eggs and Digivices. He loses one set as he
flees, and hides the rest on File Island.
The Crests come to be scattered across Server. Devimon emerges
and plots his takeover of File Island, coming into possession of
the Tags, which he hides away.
The eight Digi-Eggs hatch, and, over time, the Baby 1 Digimon
evolve into Baby 2s - even Nyaromon, the Digimon who hatched from
the lost egg. As more time passes, the seven Digimon wait on File
Island for the coming of their partners, but Nyaromon eventually
becomes Plotmon, and wanders the DigiWorld, looking for the
person she was waiting for. She is found by Vamdemon, who takes
her under his wing, and trains her under a brutal regimen. With
this conditioning, she naturally evolves into her Adult form of
Tailmon. Her memories lost, she is sent out into the DigiWorld by
Vamdemon, to recruit an army of Digimon. Along the way, she meets
and befriends Wizarmon.
After losing a battle with the Dark Masters, Azulongmon and the
other Harmonious Ones are sealed away by the villains.
August 1st, 1999
Seven of the eight children - Taichi, Sora, Yamato, Jou,
Koushiro, Mimi and Takeru - are at summer camp, when the
Digivices are transported from the DigiWorld to Earth. Upon
touching the Digivices, the kids are swept up in a vortex, which
transports them to the DigiWorld, where they meet their Digimon,
who evolve to Child and Adult to protect them from the dangers
they face. After defeating Devimon, they are contacted by the
now-aged Gennai, who tells them of their Crests and Tags, and of
Server. They find their Tags, and head for Server, where they run
afoul of Etemon. During their battles with Etemon, all the kids
find their Crests. When MetalGreymon destroys Etemon, it creates
a warp, which drags Taichi and Koromon back to Earth, where it is
only minutes after he left.
Taichi goes home, and meets Hikari, who recognises Koromon, but
does not know why (because she had seen a Koromon four years
before).
Taichi is in the real world for only an hour or two, but in the
DigiWorld, many months pass. All of the Chosen Children go their
separate ways: Jou and Yamato are forced to work in Digitamamon's
diner, Mimi stays at the Gekomon palace, and Takeru is left
alone, all due to the machinations of PicoDevimon, a servant of
the vampire Digimon, Vamdemon.
While searching for Gennai, Koushiro is trapped in the pocket
dimension of Vadermon, where he loses his curiosity. A connection
somehow opens between Koushiro's laptop and Tachi's computer in
the real world, but the zombified Koushiro tells Taichi not to
bother coming back..
Taichi and Agumon return to the DigiWorld, and rounds up Yamato,
Jou and Takeru, foiling PicoDevimon's tricks along the way, with
some unseen help from Sora. They split up to look for Koushiro
and Mimi - as Yamato and Takeru search, Koushiro manages to free
himself from Vademon's dimension with help from AtlurKabuterimon,
and then meets up with the brothers. Jou and Taichi eventually
manage to get Mimi to leave the palace, and the team then finally
locate Sora, who has not been able to make her Crest glow. When
Vamdemon attacks, Sora realises her love for Piyomon, who evolves
to Garudamon and fends Vamdemon off.
Tailmon returns with an army, and Vamdemon, now in possession of
the Crest of Light - the Crest of the Eighth Child - opens a
portal to Earth (It is not clear how he obtained the Crest - he
may have found it when it and the other Crests were scattered
about Server, or it's possible Piemon may have given it to him,
for some reason). Gennai appears in the flesh to give the kids
advice on how to use the Key Cards to open the portal, which they
successfully do, returning to Earth. They find that summer camp
has been called off, and they are brought back to Tokyo. They go
to Hikarigaoka, where they remember the events of four years
previously, and then head for home. In the evening, Koushiro
picks up the signal of the Eighth Child's Digivice, but his
attempts to locate it are foiled by PicoDevimon and Raremon.
August 2nd, 1999
The kids ration that the Eighth Child Vamdemon is looking for
must have seen the battle four years ago, and so begin searching
for kids they knew who lived in Hikarigaoka then. Tailmon takes
an unhealthy interest in Hikari, thinking she could be the Eighth
Child, while during their search, Mimi and Sora are attacked by
DeathMeramon.
In the evening, Yamato, Takeru and Gabumon meet Pumpmon and
Gotsumon, two of Vamdemon's lackies. They prefer to goof off than
search for the Eighth Child, and Vamdemon destroys them for it.
WereGarurumon and Angemon then repel him.
Wizarmon helps Tailmon realise that Hikari is the Eighth Child,
and that she is her Digimon partner. Vamdemon learns the latter
fact, and captures Tailmon, planning to use her to flush out the
Eighth Child.
At dusk, Vamdemon summons a mystical, electronic-disrupting fog
bank, which shrouds Odaiba.
August 3rd, 1999
Vamdemon's invasion squads flood the streets, capturing
much of Odaiba's population, and holding them in the city's
convention centre.
One of the captives is Daisuke, a boy who will become a Chosen
Child as a result of this experience.
Also among the prisoners are Mimi and Sora, who try to engineer a
breakout, but Vamdemon foils their attempts. Thanks to Sora's
mother's efforts, Sora, Birdramon and Lillymon manage to escape,
and meet up with Taichi. Koushiro protects his family with a
Digital Barrier, and heads to the TV station, where he meets
Yamato's father, and explains the situation to him. Hikari gives
herself up to Vamdemon to stop the chaos, and in a final battle
royale, Hikari gets her Digivice and Crest thanks to Wizarmon's
sacrifice, and Tailmon evolves to Angewomon, using the power of
the other Digimon to energise her Celestial Arrow attack to
destroy Vamdemon.
However, the entranced captives at the convention centre do not
wake up - and in accordance with an ancient prophecy unearthed by
Gennai, Vamdemon rises again, as VenomVamdemon, having used his
bats to convert the bodies of his fallen followers into energy to
resuscitate him. VenomVamdemon goes on a rampage, until the kids
crack the final riddle of the prophecy, and Agumon and Gabumon
become WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. With aid from the powers of
the kids' Crests, they destroy VenomVamdemon.
A warp then appears in the sky, showing the DigiWorld, which has
been corrupted and reformatted. The Chosen Children save a plane
from crashing - and on board this plane are Iori Hida, and his
mother and grandfather. Iori sees the Digimon, marking the moment
where he became predestined to be a Chosen Child.
While all this has been happening, Digimon have appeared all over
Earth, and are seen by many children, who will also become Chosen
Children - notably, Michael sees Gorimon in New York.
During these three days on Earth, many years passed in the
DigiWorld, during which time, the Dark Masters rose again, and
took control of the DigiWorld, reconstructing it as Spiral
Mountain.
The Chosen Children realise they must return to the DigiWorld to
stop whatever evil is happening there. Their parents watch them
go - as does Yukio Oikawa, stunned by the sight of the DigiWorld,
and wishing more than ever that he could go there. Vamdemon's
digital "ghost" makes him a bargain, and then possesses
Oikawa.
The Chosen Children return to the DigiWorld, and engage the Dark
Masters in a series of battles. Many of their Digimon friends are
lost, and dissention in the ranks results in Yamato, Mimi and Jou
going their separate ways. During the battle with Piemon, Taichi
dispatches Sora and Takeru to track them down - Sora nearly falls
afoul of the living darkness that almost consumed Yamato, but it
saved by Yamato and Jou. They regroup, and engage Piemon in
conflict, but he uses his powers to change many of their numbers
into key chains. HolyAngemon temporarily bests Piemon, and
restores everyone to normal, and then Piemon and his Evilmon are
defeated in a stunning final battle.
The being of darkness who emerged from the beyond the Wall of
Fire takes on a physical form, and spreads his darkness to cover
the entire DigiWorld. He - Apocalymon - confronts the kids and
their Digimon, and destroys their Crests. He then deletes them,
sending them to the Data World, where they realise the power of
their Crests is inside of them. They reconstitute their bodies,
and go on to destroy Apocalymon. The DigiWorld begins to
reformat, and they must leave their Digimon behind.
November 1999
Taichi hears the sound of Hikari's whistle, which was left in the
DigiWorld with Tailmon. He realises that a gate to the DigiWorld
has opened again, and he is able to briefly communicate with
Agumon via his father's computer. The gate closes again before
Kari, who is out shopping with their mother, returns home to see
it. (from a Japanese audio drama CD released three years
after season one ended)
March 2000
A Digi-Egg appears on the Internet, and hatches into a bizarre
Digimon-like creature, which eats data - apparently, it is a
personification of the Y2K bug.
Koushiro, Taichi and their Digimon attempt to stop it, but it
evolves to its Perfect form of Infermon. Yamato and
MetalGarurumon join the fight, but it evolves to its Ultimate,
Diablomon, and defeats them. Diablomon makes over a million
copies of himself, and launches nuclear missiles at Odaiba,
planning to wipe out the Chosen Children. It takes the fusion of
WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon into Omegamon to defeat the villain
and stop the missiles.
One of the kids who sees this battle on the Internet is Ryo.
Another girl who sees the battle is Miyako, who will later become
a Chosen Child too.
May 2000
Gennai calls the eight kids back into the DigiWorld, and
instructs them to release the Crest power from within themselves.
The Crest power forms a shield around the DigiWorld, restoring
peace and beauty to it, and protecting it from evil - however,
the eight Digimon lose their ability to evolve to Perfect.
August 2000
A Digivice emerges from the computer of Osamu Ichijouji, in front
of Osamu, and his brother Ken. Osamu puts it in his drawer,
vowing to find out what it is, but Ken, with childish curiosity,
touches it, and is sucked into the DigiWorld. There, he meets his
Digimon partner, Wormmon, and encounters Ryo. Together, they
battle and defeat Milleniumon - the events of the battle go
unseen (but are adapted from the video game, "Tag
Tamers," which was used to create back story for Ken in the
anime). With Milleniumon's defeat, the Dark Seeds appear,
and fly through the air towards Ryo. Ken pushes him out of the
way, and one sinks inside his neck. He becomes ill, and Wormmon
cares for him for three weeks, until he is well enough to return
to Earth. He returns, and it's still the same day (this is likely
a Japanese writing error, as time in the DigiWorld and on Earth
should be synchronised by this point - however, it *could* be
passed off on Milleniumon's ability to warp space and time).
April 2001
In America, Michael, and several other American kids, receive
their Digivices. Michael travels to the DigiWorld, and spends
some time there, meeting his partner, Betamon.
Between August 2000 and April 2002
Osamu Ichijouji dies when he is run over by a car. Ken is
consumed by grief, and is observed at Osamu's funeral by Oikawa,
who is unaware that Vamdemon is within him, manipulating him.
Oikawa sends Ken an e-mail, telling him about the DigiWorld,
which Ken has forgotten about. He urges Ken to use the Digivice
to travel to the DigiWorld - but the Dark Seed within him instead
opens the doorway to the World of Darkness. Ken dips his Digivice
into the Dark Ocean, and it transforms into the Dark D-3. The
Dark Seed within him activates, and, over time, his physical and
mental capabilities are greatly enhanced. He gains a genius level
intellect, and becomes a soccer and judo star, fast becoming a
media darling. He quickly grows apathetic towards society, and
his fawning parents, viewing them all as insects, beneath his
notice. He returns to the DigiWorld, and begins to conquer it,
assuming the guise of the Digimon Kaizer.
Ken is unknowingly moulded into the Kaizer identity by Archnemon
and Mummymon, two Digimon/human hybrid beings created by Oikawa,
when he transformed his DNA into data.
The designs for the Dark Rings, Dark Spirals and Dark Towers are
implanted into Ken's mind via the Seed - but the Towers are the
key, as they will disrupt the reality barriers, allowing Oikawa -
and Vamdemon - to bypass the shield set up by the kids' Crest
powers, and enter the DigiWorld.
Gennai de-ages himself (apparently by separating himself into
multiple younger versions of himself), then he and his clones set
about deleting information on the DigiWorld from government
computers on Earth.
Qinglongmon and the other Harmonious Ones work from within their
prisons to create the Digimentals, and to select Digimon to be
the partners of the new Chosen Children that will soon be called
on to battle the Kaizer. They rebuild the lost Crest of Kindness
into the Digimental of Miracles, which is soon discovered by the
Kaizer, and used in conjunction with a reactor-gateway to the
World of Darkness to power his fortress base.
Mimi and her family move to New York at some point prior to
September 2001, as Mimi was in living in the city at the time of
the 9/11 tragedy. Mimi meets and befriends Michael.
Prior to the start of the new school year, Takeru and his
mother move into a new apartment in Odaiba.
From April 2002 to June 2002
The new school year begins, and on his way to school, Takeru
meets Miyako and Iori, two children who are fated to become
Chosen Children. At school, he also meets Daisuke, who has a
crush on Hikari, and fears that Takeru is trying to steal her
from him.
The Digimon Kaizer kicks his takeover into high gear. In a
scuffle with a Unimon, Tailmon loses her Holy Ring, which,
unbeknownst to her, is spirited away by Gennai, so that without
it, she will have the power to Armour Evolve and Jogress Evolve
in the future. Agumon calls on Taichi for help. Taichi arrives,
and discovers that Agumon can't evolve, due to the power of the
Digimon Kaizer's Dark D-3, which is generating anti-evolutionary
energies that are being broadcast by his Dark Towers. Tailmon,
Patamon, Agumon and Taichi find the Digimental of Courage - when
Taichi touches it, it releases three new Digivices (which
Koushiro later dubs D-3s), which are received by Daisuke, Miyako
and Iori. Daisuke, Takeru and Hikari travel into the DigiWorld,
and Daisuke meets his Digimon, V-mon.
The following day, Miyako and Iori travel to the DigiWorld, and
meet their Digimon, Hawkmon and Armadimon.
Takeru and Hikari find Digimentals of their own, which enable
Patamon and Tailmon to Armour Evolve.
Many battles with the Kaizer ensue, pulling the old Chosen
Children back into the fight.
At one point, the Kaizer takes control of Agumon, and turns him
into a viral version of MetalGreymon.
On one occasion, Hikari is pulled into the World of Darkness by
servants of the evil Dagomon. She escapes with help from Takeru,
but the World of Darkness and its inhabitants are not yet through
with the Chosen Children.
July 2002
The summer rolls around, and the kids have to sneak back into
school to use the computer room there, continuing their battles
with the Kaizer. They meet Michael, and remember the events which
led to them being picked as Chosen Children.
August 1st, 2002
The kids find themselves unable to use the school computer lab to
access the DigiWorld any more. The Chosen Children get together
to celebrate their first trip into the DigiWorld.
August 2nd, 2002
Sora and Mimi show Miyako Tokyo Tower, where DeathMeramon
attacked them, while Koushiro successfully manages to open a
Digi-Port program on the Yagamis' computer.
August 3rd, 2002
At the television station, Wizarmon's ghost appears, and gives
the team a cryptic warning about the future.
August 3rd, 2002 onward
The kids locate the Digimon Kaizer's base, and Taichi, Yamato and
Koushiro go on a camping trip to act as a cover for the other
kids while they go into the DigiWorld to destroy it. The Kaizer
unleashes Chimeramon, a genetically engineered Digimon made up of
parts of other Digimon, but he has also included a portion of
Devimon's dark data, and the powers of darkness corrupt
Chimeramon, leaving Ken unable to control him. Chimeramon
threatens to destroy the fortress on his own, but Wormmon leads
Daisuke to the Digimental of Miracles, which Armour Evolves V-mon
into Magnamon. Magnamon battles Chimeramon, but Wormmon is forced
to sacrifice himself to make the Kaizer realise that Digimon are
living things, and to give Magnamon the energy to destroy
Chimeramon. Ken realises what he has done, and the Dark Seed
deactivates, reverting him to his normal personality. The
Digimental of Miracles reverts to the Crest of Kindness, which
belongs to Ken.
Out Of Continuity
At some point during this time period, Chocomon, having become
his Child form of Lopmon, frees himself from the dimension, and,
in his Adult form of Wendimon, begins his search for Wallace. He
captures six of the first eight Chosen Children (sans Takeru and
Hikari), and brings them to the dimension, which reverses their
aging, until they are as young as they were during the
Greymon/Parrotmon battle. Chocomon realises that none of them are
Wallace, and turns his attention to the other Chosen Children,
who have encountered Wallace. He attempts to capture Takeru and
Hikari on a train, but their D-3s protect them. He then attacks
Daisuke and Wallace, but is beaten back by Fladramon and
Galgomon. Then, at Summer Memory, in a huge final battle, he
confronts the Armour Digimon in his Perfect form of Antieramon.
Outnumbered, he again evolves into his Ultimate form of
Cherubimon. It takes Angemon and Angewomon Evolving to their
Ultimate forms of Seraphimon and Holydramon and releasing the
Golden Digi-Eggs, which allow V-mon and Terriermon to become
Magnamon and Rapidmon to save the day.
From September 2002 to December 2002
The kids return to school, and set about rebuilding the damaged
areas of the DigiWorld. V-mon evolves into his natural Adult form
of XV-mon.
Ken awakens from a pseudo-coma, with amnesia. He can barely
remember his parents or brother, and returns to the DigiWorld, to
be confronted with angry Baby 1 Digimon at Primary Village.
There, he remembers the first time he came to the DigiWorld, and
finds Leafmon - the reborn Baby 1 form of Wormmon.
At Oikawa's command, Archnemon moves to try and destroy the
Chosen Children, using her powers to transform Dark Towers into
unliving Digimon. The other Digimon manage to evolve to Adult to
defeat her creations. When the reactor to the Kaizer's abandoned
base threatens to explode, XV-mon and Stingmon Jogress Evolve
into Paildramon to defeat Archnemon's Ookuwamon, and destroy the
reactor. Archnemon then lures the Chosen Children to the Giga
House, where she attacks them with an army of mind-controlled
insect Digimon, and then, in a fit of rage, reveals her true,
Digimon form. She is beaten in battle, but then saved by
Mummymon.
Archnemon combined one hundred Dark Towers together to create
BlackWarGreymon, but the leftover programs within the Towers
combine, giving BlackWarGreymon a mind of his own, with thoughts
and feelings. He turns on Archnemon, and seeks opponents to
battle to test his powers.
Ken, Hikari and Miyako stumble into the World of Darkness again,
but manage to escape.
BlackWarGreymon cannot understand the notion of having a heart,
and encounters Agumon, who tries to help him understand.
Meanwhile, Archnemon and Mummymon turn their attention to the
Holy Stones, mystic objects, which keep the DigiWorld in balance
- with the Dark Towers de-powered and unable to warp reality,
they have to come up with another plan to weaken the barriers to
allow Oikawa to enter the DigiWorld. BlackWarGreymon feels pain
as the first Holy Stone is damaged, and makes it his mission to
destroy them all. The barriers of the DigiWorld begin to weaken,
and Digimon appear in the city of Kyoto, as BlackWarGreymon
continues his rampage. When the last stone is located,
Paildramon, Silphymon and Shakkoumon hold off BlackWarGreymon,
while the kids try to move it with their D-3s. This frees
Qinglongmon from his prison, and he explains most of what has
been going on to them. BlackWarGreymon flies away, claiming that
he is going somewhere "to disappear."
December 24th, 2002
Ken invites the other Chosen Children to his Christmas party, and
they all happily accept. They all bring the Digimon partners of
the older Chosen Children into the real world, to celebrate
Christmas with them. Taichi, Jou, Koushiro and Sora got to
Yamato's concert, while Daisuke, Miyako, Iori, Takeru and Hikari
go to Ken's for his party. The fun is broken up when Archnemon
brings a Control Tower to Earth, and opens a Digi-Port, allowing
wild Digimon to come through. The Armour Digimon destroy the
Tower, and then the Digimon evolve to take down the enemies.
December 25th, 2002
Koushiro discovers that Digi-Ports are opening all over the
world, and calls on the Chosen Children to help him get in
contact with other Chosen Children kids around the world. Daisuke
and Ken, meanwhile, battle a Triceramon and Mummymon. Gennai
arrives, and explains his plan of action, using one of
Qinglongmon's Digi-Cores to restore the original eight Digimon's
lost ability to evolve to Perfect, and also giving Paildramon the
power to Ultimate-Evolve to Imperialdramon.
Imperialdramon, flying faster than the speed of sound, transports
the twelve kids to six strategic locations around the world,
where they team up with other native Chosen Children, as well as
Gennai's clones, to round up the wild Digimon and send them back
to the DigiWorld.
At the same time, in Japan, Archnemon and Mummymon, at Oikawa's
command, go about making offers to children with problems
(loneliness, sickness, etc), convincing them to come with them.
When all the wild Digimon are rounded up, Imperialdramon takes
everyone back to Tokyo, in time to celebrate Christmas with their
families.
In the evening, Taichi warns Hikari that the time will come when
she and the other new Chosen Children will have to destroy a
Digimon. Ken's memories of his time in the DigiWorld with Ryo
begin to come back to the surface, when he dreams about the
battle with Milleniumon and the Dark Seed.
December 26th, 2002
The Demon Corps appear in Tokyo, searching for Ken. The Chosen
Children battle SkullSatamon, but he immobilises Imperialdramon
and defeats the other Digimon, some of whom devolve due to being
in the real world for so long. The original eight Digimon (sans
the absent Palmon) give their power to Imperialdramon, enabling
him to Mode Change to his Fighter Mode and destroy SkullSatamon.
Archnemon convinces Ken to come with her, saying she will release
all the 'kidnapped' children if he does so. He agrees and is
taken away in a truck, where he meets Oikawa, who explains to him
about the Dark Seed within him. Oikawa copies Ken's Seed, and
implants it into the other children at their own request. The
kids know the Seeds will enhance their abilities, while Oikawa
plans to use them to convert the innocence of the children into
an energy he can use to enter the DigiWorld. Their true purpose,
however, is to provide power for Vamdemon, to allow him to be
born again.
Meanwhile, Daisuke pursues the truck, and the other Chosen
Children are forced to destroy the other members of the Demon
Corps to protect the city. At Hikarigaoka, their leader, Demon,
appears, and demands that Ken be handed over to him. Oikawa,
having got what he wanted, is ready to comply, but Daisuke busts
up the transaction. The Digimon all team up against Demon, and
Ken uses the energy within the Dark Seed to open a gate to the
World of Darkness, through which Demon is sent. Oikawa tells the
children to remember Hikarigaoka, and then flees. The children
are returned to their parents.
Agumon and co. return to the DigiWorld to discover some serious
destruction, courtesy of the returned BlackWarGreymon.
Qinglongmon bestows more power on Agumon, restoring his power to
Warp-Evolve.
December 27th, 2002
The Dark Seeds begin their work, enhancing the capabilities of
the children. The Chosen Children begin to watch them closely,
studying the effects of the Seeds, with help from some of their
parents.
Oikawa, Archnemon and Mummymon hide out on Mount Fuji, but
BlackWarGreymon arrives on Earth, with intent to destroy them
all.
December 28th, 2002
BlackWarGreymon attacks Oikawa, Archnemon and Mummymon, realising
that Oikawa is his creator, as Oikawa created Archnemon, who in
turn created him. Taichi and Hikari intervene, and Agumon becomes
WarGreymon to battle with BlackWarGreymon, defeating him with
help from Imperialdramon. BlackWarGreymon leaves again, to think
on what they have told him about life and friends.
December 29th, 2002
The Dark Seed of a girl named Noriko is about to flower
prematurely, and Oikawa has to move to absorb its power before
the Chosen Children get to her first. He encounters Iori, and
recognises his surname, identifying him as Hiroki's son. He
visits Hiroki's grave, and reflects on the past.
December 30th, 2002
Noriko's Seed flowers, and Oikawa absorbs its energies. The dark
power energises Vamdemon, who holds Oikawa's mind back when
Iori's grandfather offers him his hand in friendship.
BlackWarGreymon is fatally injured protecting Iori's grandfather
from Oikawa/Vamdemon, and uses the last of his strength to seal
the Hikarigaoka DigiWorld gate with his body.
December 31st, 2002
Oikawa calls the children back to Hikarigaoka, where he attempts
to open a gate to the DigiWorld. Instead, a portal to the dream
dimension opens, through which Oikawa unwittingly travels,
followed by the children, Archnemon, Mummymon and the Chosen
Children. In the dimension, Vamdemon vacates Oikawa's body, and
uses the energy from the flowered Dark Seeds to transform himself
into BelialVamdemon. He uses the powers of the dimension to
create illusions of all the Chosen Children's greatest desires,
but Daisuke wins through, and helps free the others. Then, they
use the power of the dimension to their own ends, making all
their Digimon evolve to their separate forms at once, and teaming
up on BelialVamdemon.
The villain flees into the DigiWorld, and absorbs the darkness
already there into his body, increasing his power. He begins to
initiate the spread of darkness over Earth, when all the Digimon
of the world's Chosen Children arrive to confront him. Acting as
beacons, the bond between them and their human partners opens
Digi-Ports all over Earth, bringing the Chosen Children into the
DigiWorld. Using the power of their dreams, and belief in
themselves (through which the Dark Seed children become Chosen
Children themselves), BelialVamdemon's darkness is repelled,
weakening and discorporating his body. His dark spirit tries to
spread, but Imperialdramon's Giga Crusher attack destroys it,
apparently for good.
Gennai returns Tailmon's Holy Ring, and Oikawa meets his Digimon,
Pipimon. However, Oikawa has lost too much energy, and his body
is too weak to go on. Using the power of the dream dimension, he
fulfils a wish of his own, transforming his body into energy,
which spreads across the DigiWorld, restoring the tranquillity
that was almost destroy by Vamdemon's darkness.
March 2003
It transpires that Diablomon was not completely destroyed during
the battle in the year 2000. Yamato and Taichi venture into the
Internet again with Omegamon to destroy him, but he escapes to
the real world in the form of a huge swarm of Kuramon. Once on
Earth, the Kuramon merge together to form Armagemon, a huge,
alternate Ultimate for their line that is more powerful that
Diablomon ever was. Omegamon battles him and is defeated, and
then Imperialdramon Fighter Mode takes him on. Omegamon gives his
energy to Imperialdramon, transforming him into his Paladin Mode,
who destroys Armagemon.
Subsequently, a new evil is detected in the DigiWorld, and Daisuke's sister Jun, Miyako's two sisters, and Jyou's brother Shuu all become Chosen Children to combat it. This was related in an audio drama CD release two years after the second season concluded. The CD ends with Daisuke and the other 02 Chosen Children entering the DigiWorld to help.
