Base entry for the '''''Digimon''''' [[
The franchise's first adaptation was a one-shot manga called ''[[C'mon Digimon]]'', released in 1997 shortly before the original virtual pet and centered around the competitive nature of the devices. [[Trope Codifier|The first appearance of]] the [[Cyberspace|Digital World]], [[Goggles Do Nothing|goggles]] and numerous other mechanics prevalent in the franchise came a year later in ''[[Digimon V-Tamer 01]]'', a serial manga [[Long Runners|which continued well into 2002]]. Around the same time it received its first game called ''Digital Monster Ver. S: Digimon Tamers'', a scaled-up version of the virtual pets for the Sega Saturn.
In 1999, [[Toei Animation]] was given the task of adapt the rapidly-growing franchise into an anime series. It could have just been yet another cheap and quickly-forgotten toy anime adaptation in a sea of hundreds of the things, and that could have been the end of it... and yet, it ''wasn't''. The result was ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'', and despite being a relatively low-budget production, it was lucky enough to have an excellent writing team and to feature a cast of thoroughly fleshed-out and dynamic characters. The premise was that seven children were [[Trapped in Another World]] -- in this case, [[Cyberspace]] -- where each met and [[Bond Creature|was partnered with]] a Digimon. As in the virtual pets, each Digimon would grow stronger and gain the ability to evolve (the American dub used "digivolve") into stronger forms, as their human partners learned important [[An Aesop|lessons about themselves]] and dealt with the ''[[Heroic RROD|serious]]'' consequences of ignoring those lessons.

Following it was a sequel: ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'' [[Time Skip|Time Skipped]] forward three years, where the original children had grown up and become entrenched in the demands of life, and so the torch was passed to a completely new group of children -- including the two youngest from ''Adventure'' and their newly-met partner Digimon, dealing with the rise of a new threat in the Digital World, this time [[And You Thought It Was a Game|human]].
''[[Digimon Tamers]]'' was much [[Darker and Edgier|darker]], [[Genre Deconstruction|deconstructive and psychological]] in tone than before, comparable to ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]'' (they share [[Chiaki Konaka|a head writer]]) or ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. The setting is very meta: the Digimon card game, video games, and anime are just those in the ''Tamers'' universe, until strange turns of events lead to Digimon actively coming into the human world. It's the first show not to give particular prominence to the Digital World (only coming into it in the last half of the series), with its focus firmly on the human drama in the real world interspersing with the consequences of having Digimon around.
From then onwards, the anime series were set in [[Alternate Continuity|Alternate Continuities]], later established by [[Digimon Wonder Swan Series|a series of WonderSwan games]] to be loosely connected as a [[Multiverse]]; these games demonstrate this with a [[Canon Immigrant]] [[Digimon Adventure: Anode Cathode Tamer|Ryo Akiyama]], who originated in the ''Adventure'' universe and came to live in the ''Tamers'' universe.
''[[Digimon Frontier]]'' abandoned the concept of humans partnering with Digimon, and had them able to [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|turn into]] Digimon. Otherwise, it seems to be a throwback to ''Adventure'': a bunch of kids lost in another dimension and they can't get home until they save it, and happily, they manage to sort out their various problems along the way.
Following ''Frontier'', the anime experienced a [[Sequel Gap]] of three years, but the franchise's merchandise kept up alone with several waves of virtual pets (and, oddly enough, an entirely new English card game<ref>this is odd because card game aside, the franchise pretty much ceased to exist in the west in this time period</ref>) released during this time, introducing plenty of new Digimon. There was also a CGI [[Made for TV Movie]], ''[[Digimon X Evolution]]'', in 2005, which remains the only major ''Digimon'' production to feature no human characters whatsoever and to focus exclusively on the Digimon.
''[[Digimon Savers]]'' came out in 2006, targeted toward the people that had watched ''Digimon'' as kids and the basic set-up seems to be a throwback to ''Tamers''; in tone it's somewhat darker and ''extremely'' [[Hot-Blooded]]. The dub was named ''Digimon Data Squad''. Running around the same time was another manga, ''[[Digimon Next]]'', which employed similar mechanics, the same Digivices and the same partner Digimon, but was more like any of the predecessors of ''Savers'' in theme and presentation.
''[[Digimon Xros Wars]]'' ([http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/digimon/ pronounced ''Cross Wars'']) premiered July 2010 on TV Asahi. It harkens back to the the animation style of ''Adventure'' and generally contains quite a few throwbacks to it, though its basic set-up is significantly different. A trio of humans lead their Digimon armies in a great war against [[The Empire]] with the intention of reunifying the shattered Digital World. Running alongside it was a manga adaptation, also named ''[[Digimon Xros Wars (manga)|Digimon Xros Wars]]'', which experiences several unique changes and deviations from the plot of the anime. It is the longest of all seasons with three arcs noted by their different subtitles ''[[Digimon Xros Wars the Evil Death Generals And The Seven Kingdoms]]'' and finally ''[[Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Leaping Through Time]]'' which many fans mistakenly believe to be its own season.
From China, there are (much compressed) manhua adaptations of the first four anime, as well as the unique ''[[Digimon D-Cyber]]'', and in America, [[Dark Horse Comics]] did an adaptation of the first few episodes of ''[[Digimon Adventure]]''.
Following the original virtual pet, a massive variety of video games crossing numerous genres have been released for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, [[Wonder Swan]], [[Game Boy Advance]], and [[Nintendo DS]]. The games starring [[Canon Immigrant]] [[Digimon Tamers|Ryo Akiyama]], being [[Wonder Swan]] games, were never released in the west. The games include the ''Digimon World'' series, consisting of ''[[Digimon World]]'', ''[[Digimon World 2]]'' and ''[[Digimon World 3]]'' for the PlayStation, ''[[Digimon World DS]]'' and ''[[Digimon World Dawn/Dusk|Digimon World Dawn]]'' and ''[[Digimon World Dawn/Dusk|Dusk]]'' for the DS. and "[[Digimon World Data Squad]]" for the Playstation 2.
Also, it's best not to compare it to ''[[Pokémon]]''. [[Gannon Banned|You will regret it for the rest of your life]].<ref>For the sake of clarification: the similarities between the two pretty much end at their status as [[Shonen]] [[Mons]] franchises which debuted at roughly the same time; beyond that, they are ''vastly'' different beasts in every respect. Of course, the Pokémon [[Fan Dumb|Fanbase]] doesn't seem to realise that; [[Hate Dumb|it's actually rather one-sided, though, as a rather sizable portion of the ''Digimon'' base also enjoys ''Pokémon''.]]</ref>
{{franchisetropes}}
== A-E ==
* [[The Ace]]: Ryo Akiyama
* [[Adults Are Useless]]
** Leave the saving-two-worlds to the kids. For the most part, all their parents did was sit at home waiting for them to come back (when they even knew the kids were gone). Sometimes, [[Screening the Call|they even tried to stop the kids from doing their Chosen Child duties,]] leading to the kids' occasionally having to lie and go behind their backs. A few adults -- like Matt and T.K.'s dad, Sora's mom, etc. -- did help out but in minor ways.
** Mostly averted in ''[[Digimon Tamers]]''. Not only did Yamaki and the Wild Bunch know more about Digimon than the Tamers did, but they were actively involved in the Tamers' challenges, from traveling to and from the Digital World to {{spoiler|leading the fight against the D-Reaper}}. In fact, {{spoiler|it was a modified version of Yamaki's Juggernaut program, installed in Terriermon, that ultimately defeated the D-Reaper.}}
** Also mostly averted in ''[[Digimon Savers]]''. Captain Sampson, while staying in the commanding officer position a lot, bails the heroes out ''three times''. That old man who gave Marcus his Digivice, helps out at times and gives him sage advice? That would be Commander Yushima, who {{spoiler|bails the heroes out twice, and gives assistance during some fights later on.}} Marcus's open-minded mother, Sarah, gives refuge to the heroes {{spoiler|after they become fugitives from the Confidentiality Ministry thanks to Kurata}}. Keenan's parents {{spoiler|help the heroes get to the Digital World to chase after Kurata}}. And, finally, there's Marcus's father Spencer, who is ''one of the most badass characters in the series'', only rivaled by ''his own son''. {{spoiler|1=And his partner BanchoLeomon, whom allows Spencer to share his body.}}
Line 93 ⟶ 99:
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]
** The whole Ultimate (Mega) level was this. In its debut in the Digimon pendulums it required the Jogress of three separate Digimon, or a perfect care record in the case of some vaccine attributes. Sometimes the resulting Digimon may be weaker than the Digimon it used to be, such as when MetalGreymon to Wargreymon. In the Adventure universe, Ultimate evolution was only possible through the intervention of the Digital Worlds gods or the malign influence of something like the dark network. Doing so causes the digital world to become more unstable and vulnerable to attack.
** In-Universe, to a certain extent. Megas go through so much energy that they functionally shorten their lifespan.
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: Wishing for a Digimon is nice, until it gets loose in your school. On several occasions, characters try to force a digivolution, and it [[Gone Horribly Right|goes horribly right.]]
Line 122 ⟶ 124:
** Black Wargreymon was even able to spam his attack! There are draining moves in ''X-evolution'' but they still don't drain much.
* [[Conservation of Ninjutsu]]: [[Conservation of Ninjutsu/Playing With|Played With]]; The anime (and movies) mostly averts, subverts and inverts the trope, especially when played for drama, while Xros Wars plays it straight.
* [[Contrasting Sequel Character]]: The whole Digimon franchise changes tamers with each seasons, in the anime along: Taichi Yagami, Daisuke Motomiya, Takato Matsuda, and so forth each have different personalities, dreams, digimon buddies, friends, and so forth.
* [[Cosmic Keystone]]
* [[Critical Failure]]: [[War Greymon]]'s Dramon Killers can cause this. They're especially effective against draconic digimon. [[War Greymon]] himself is a "dragon man" however, and is constantly at risk of serious, self inflicted injury as a result.
Line 151 ⟶ 154:
*** [[Digimon Tamers|Takato]] is an exception, being much more subdued and quite a bit more obviously introspective.
** And then you have [[The Lancer]], who will be known for having a blue theme going around them (blue eyes, blue hair, or blue Digimon) as well as sibling issues. Expect them to have dog-themed partners, as well (or canine in general, since Renamon was a fox).
*** Renamon doesn't count as foxes aren't canines, they are vulpines which isn't the same thing.
*** Played with a twist in ''[[Digimon Xros Wars]]'', as the lancer role is split up between [[The Rival]] (with the aloof attitude and blue theme) and the internal lancer of the Digimon ensemble (a [[Big Badass Wolf]]).
** Guilmon is a quite obvious expy of Agumon. Both are fire-breathing dinosaurs which become larger versions of themselves, said larger version becomes a cyborg, and finally a more humanoid warrior version. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in that Takato designed Guilmon himself and was a fan of whatever Digimon series existed in their universe, which presumably also featured an Agumon as the leader's partner -- his thought process in designing Guilmon was literally "Agumon, but better".
** Meanwhile, Shoutmon has a combination of various main Digimon design, while having his own personality of a hot-headed character normally found on human leads.
** Veedramon was an expy of the original adaptation's Greymon before, [[Art Evolution|their current appearance became standard]]. Veemon is one of Veedramon.
== F-J ==
* [[The Four Gods]]: Qinglongmon/Azulongmon the Azure Dragon, Zhuqiaomon the Vermillion Phoenix, Xuanwumon/Ebonwumon the Black Turtle, and Baihumon the White Tiger. Azulongmon appears in ''Adventure 02'', while the others are only mentioned. All four star in ''Tamers''. There's actually a fifth "god," [http://wikimon.net/Fanglongmon Huanglongmon/Fanglongmon] the Yellow Dragon (see the trope page). Supplementary materials present as the boss of the other four. Oddly, or perhaps not, Xros Wars {{spoiler|has him as a villain, [[The Dragon]] of [[The Dragon]] of [[The Big Bad]], little more than a [[Monster of the Week]] who exists to get amalgamated into that mini-arc's primary antagonist.}}
* [[Gag Dub]]: Similar to how ''[[Samurai Pizza Cats]]'' was dubbed, but the dub generally avoided this during the especially serious moments.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Although ''Tamers'' is by far the most infamous for it, really, all three of the early seasons managed a ''lot'' of this, doubly so for their time. [[Nightmare Fuel]] on [[Character Development]] on [[Heroic BSOD]], all with no [[Reset Button]]... in a lot of ways, it's astounding the shows were even aired at all.
Line 164 ⟶ 169:
** There's multiple "gods" throughout the mythology of the series, from [[The Four Gods]] to Yggdrasil himself. ENIAC from ''Brave Tamer'' might actually count too, considering its resemblance to [[Digimon X Evolution|one particular incarnation]] of Yggdrasil, and ENIAC appeared before Yggdrasil was even conceived.
* [[Goggles Do Nothing]]: Aside from [[Digimon Savers|Marcus]], every team's leader wears a pair on their head. Only Takato makes frequent use of them. In ''[[Digimon Xros Wars]]'', it is somehow seen as a symbol of the leader, as when Taiki is unable to lead, Zenjirou temporarily puts it on. Daisuke/Davis does at one point say "Maybe I should put on my goggles!" He doesn't.
* [[Going Mobile]]: Digimon Links.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Almost all attacks are in English.
** [[Gratuitous German]]: ...or German.
Line 175 ⟶ 181:
** ''Savers'': {{spoiler|Keenan, Craniummon}}
** ''Xros Wars'': {{spoiler|Baalmon (revived as Beelzebumon), Grademon, Nene, Kiriha, Yuu}}
* [[Humans Are Special]]: Some how, maybe because their networks created or expedited the Digital World, Humans have a huge influence over the Digimon from evolutions to raising eggs it seems that [[Muggles Do It Better|Humans Do It Better]] then most Digimon can do it on their own.
* [[Humble Goal]]: Davis just wants to run a noodle cart. He gets to in the future.
* [[Hypnotic Eyes]]: Gatomon's Cat's Eye Hypnotism move gives her these.
Line 183 ⟶ 190:
* [[The Imp]]: PicoDevimon in ''Adventure''; Impmon, of course, in ''Tamers''.
* [[In the End You Are on Your Own]]: In ''Adventure'' and ''Frontier'', to the point where in ''Frontier'' there was pretty much no-one else left alive in the Digital World. Averted in ''02'', ''Tamers'', and ''Savers'' -- in those cases they had the extensive support of all the world's Chosen, Yamaki and the Wild Bunch, and the Royal Knights respectively. In ''Xros Wars'' the main kids never get help outside, but they do have armies of Digimon to use.
== K-O ==
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Tactimon's could supposedly cause much destruction, if he ever unsheathed it. Next Zambamon practically calls the trope by name
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Many Digimon are cute but deadly.
Line 201 ⟶ 210:
* [[Merchandise-Driven]]: Digimon is first and formost a toy franchise, so much so that having good toy sales can save your season from being canned [[Digimon Xros Wars|even if it has low ratings]].
* [[Mechanical Monster]]: A good 185 or so of them comprise the Metal Empire "family". Specific Digimon species of this nature are usually classed as "Cyborg" or "Machine" type Digimon.
* [[Metaphysical App]]: The entire franchise likes to play with this, with computer programs entering the real world, and humans entering cyberspace.
* [[Motor Mouth]]: What happens when you have thirty seconds to explain [["Previously On..."|what happened in thirty minutes]], although this counts as [[Dub Text]].
* [[Multiversal Conqueror]]: Several of the villians, who have set their sights on conquering both worlds.
Line 213 ⟶ 223:
** Why are the ones that look like bees called Flymon?
** Then there's DinoBeemon, JewelBeemon, HoneyBeemon, FlyBeemon, CannonBeemon, and FanBeemon, which are, in order, A bug/dragon mishmash, a humanoid insect knight, a bee-fairy, a humanoid dragonfly, a [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Dendrobium Orchis]], and finally something something more or less resembling a bee.
*** I agree Flymon doesn't make sense, but the others do, Dinobeemon is a combonation of the words Dino which is Greek for terrible and Bee hence "Dinobee" being a pun on its title of Terrible Bee, JewelBeemon from the jewel beetle, a common name for the buprestidae, a taxonomic family of over 15,000 beetle species, known by this name owing to their glossy, iridescent colorings, HoneyBeemon is from Honeybee which is a variation of bee, Flybeemon comes from dragonfly and bee, Cannonbeemon because it's a Bee with a Cannon, and FanBeemon who is a bee.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: While used less often than reincarnation as the series went on, seeing one burst into data isn't always a sure sign that they are deleted, sometimes they reform back together. We're shown the point of view of someone in this state at least once.
* [[Nuclear Weapons Taboo]]
Line 236 ⟶ 247:
** MarineAngemon: A [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]] in the form of a Sea Angel (as in, not technically an "Angel" angel, but still wields [[The Power of Love]]). The Holy Ring around its neck is said to secure its decapitated body. Mega Level. One of several final evolutions for Gomamon.
** Gallantmon: Crimson Mode. Can be easily described as turning Gallantmon [[Up to Eleven]] with ten wings. Not a straight example, but in some incarnations appears as a jogress of [[The Paladin|Gallantmon]] and [[Celestial Paragons and Archangels|Seraphimon]]. Usually appears when Gallantmon combines with [[Norse Mythology|Grani]]. Mega+ Level.
** Beelzemon: Blast Mode. An eight-foot tall [[Hell-Bent for Leather|leather-wearing]] [[Winged Humanoid]] with a ''[[Big
** Ophanimon. [[Winged Humanoid]], and Seraphimon's [[Distaff Counterpart]], though [[Bare Your Midriff|with less armor]]. Has ten wings and wields a dual-end lance not unlike Gallantmon Crimson Mode's. When fused with the Chrono Core, the wings and lance consist of flames. Mega Level, classed as a Great Angel. (Supplanted MagnaDramon as Angewomon's proper evolution). Now has a [[Knight Templar|Falldown Mode]], like Lucemon, though not evil, ''per se''. The Ophanimon in [[Digimon World 4]] is ''[[Gender Swap|male]]''.
** Lucemon, [[Winged Humanoid]] in the form of a [[Keet|young boy]] with various markings all over his body. [[Up to Eleven|Has twelve wings]], which is all the more notable in that he is officially classed as ''Rookie level''. Has two Mode Changes (which count as Mega Level), [[Fallen Angel|Falldown Mode]], and [[Satan|Satan Mode]] ([[Bowdlerize|Bowdlerized]] into Chaos and Shadowlord, respectively), though Satan Mode contains Lucemon Larva Mode in the orb it holds, which is called Gehenna (English speakers know Gehenna as Hell). Notable, Lucemon was said to be corrupted by [[Our Vampires Are Different|GranDracmon]], which would make the Vampire King more evil than the Digimon [[Satan]]. Also got short shrift in [[Digimon Xros Wars]], where he serves as [[Evil Is Sexy|Lillithmon's]] underling. The three Great Angels are said to each be a manifestation of one of his aspects.
Line 244 ⟶ 255:
** Dominimon, an alternate evolution of MagnaAngemon featured in ''Digimon V Tamer 01''. Little distinguishes it beyond being MagnaAngemon turned [[Up to Eleven]]. Corresponds to the Dominion choir of angels.
** Bagramon, a Demon Lord Digimon that was once an angel digimon that rebelled against god for his injustice, and cast out as a result of his failed rebellion. Can Become DarknessBagramon with eight massive black wings. A demonic inversion of [[Archangel Gabriel]].
== P-T ==
* [[The Paladin]]
** The Royal Knights are ostensibly a collection of these, though most often come with a bad rash of [[My Master, Right or Wrong]].
Line 294 ⟶ 307:
** Digimon has lots of [[Paradise Lost]] shout outs. Deathmon is named after the demon Death, Lucemon and Barbamon has, respectively, an attack named Paradise Lost and Purgatory Lost. Beyond it, both Barbamon and Belial Vamdemon reference the city of Pandemonium in their attacks.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: Moved [[Digimon/Trivia|here.]]
* [[Signature Device]]: The Digidestined's Digivices.
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Like [[Heel Face Turn]], a tradition.
** ''Adventure'': {{spoiler|Kari/Hikari}}
Line 314 ⟶ 328:
* [[Synchronization]]: Most apparent in ''Tamers'', where the damage that Digimon take will occasionally visibly affect and push around the Digimon's partner.
* [[Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: Concerning the Digimon attributes: Vaccine beats Virus, Virus beats Data and Data beats Vaccine.
* [["There and Back" Story]]: Usually of the [[Trapped in Another World|world-swapping kind]].
* [[They Killed Kenny]]
** Leomon always dies, preferably by [[Heroic Sacrifice]], and it's always played for tragedy. ''Digimon Frontier'' escapes this by having the heroes kill a Panja/IceLeomon instead, and ''Digimon Savers'' lulls the viewer into a false sense of security by killing a SaberLeomon about a quarter of the way in, {{spoiler|only to throw [[Sink or Swim Mentor|BanchouLeomon]] onto the viewer later...}} ''The very first scene'' of ''X-Evolution'' is of Leomon dying!
Line 319 ⟶ 334:
** ''Xros Wars''' very first enemy of any significance is MadLeomon, and he gets killed off in episode 3. {{spoiler|Subverted later on that he gets revived as Leomon}}.
** Oh look, we have another humanoid lion named Apollomon! He has the noblest of intentions! {{spoiler|His [[Jekyll and Hyde]] sickness pretty much confirms him being killed}}.
*** Like {{spoiler|MadLeomon}} Subverted not one but twice. Once in Prison Land as both him self and {{spoiler|Whispered}} and again when {{spoiler|Mikey obtains the completed Code Crown in the battle against MegaDarknessBagramon, where he is revived alongside all of his other fallen allies.}}
** Funny enough, he did not die in ''02'', namely because nobody noticed him. Those with a sharp eye will notice that, when many Digimon show up during the final battle with the Big Bad, a Leomon is amongst them. He has literally like just two seconds of screentime, but hey, it's the one time he does not die.
** [[Digimon V-Tamer 01|Leo didn't die]], but ''V Tamer 01'' was never released internationally and predates the running gag anyway.
Line 330 ⟶ 346:
** [[Stock Footage]]
** [[Transformation Is a Free Action]]: Normally, but Infermon averts it to great effect in the first movie. This is actually quite interesting because we get to see what a Digimon looks like while it's transforming, "outside" of the sequence. We get an even better view in the ''Savers'' movie -- When Agumon digivolves to ShineGreymon, it looks like a series of progressively bigger digieggs which eventually hatch to him.
* [[Trapped in Another World]]: Most ''[[Digimon]]'' series have the characters doing their best to find a way home from whatever realm they're trapped in.
* [[Truth in Television]]: There is no such thing as joint parental custody in Japan. This adds subtext to the lives of several characters:
** Takeru and Yamato probably spent more time apart than foreign audiences might think, which helps to explain Yamato's angst.
** If Mr. Minamoto never had custody of Koichi, it was that much easier to pretend that his ex-wife was dead.
== U-Z ==
* [[Universe Concordance]]
** [http://digipedia.db-destiny.net/ The Digimon Encyclopedia] by Chris McFeely, which covered all of Adventures to Tamers, and part of Frontier. It was the main source of Digimon for fans before the advent of Wikia.
** And officially, the [https://web.archive.org/web/20140215152617/http://digimon.net/cat-digimon-dictionary/index.html Digimon Dictionary], that is, if you can read Japanese.
* [[Voice of the Legion]]
* [[War Elephants]]: Mammothmon are usually used in this fashion.
Line 347 ⟶ 366:
* [[Xtreme Kool Letterz]]: The sixth season is called ''Xros Wars''. Justified, in that this is taken from "Xaos", the greek spelling of Chaos. The "X" is pronounced like a "K" or "C". Pronouncing the western character "X" as "cross" seems to be becoming a specifically-Japanese trope. It ''is'' two lines "crossed" but still.
* [[Your Size May Vary]]: A lot of larger digimon are prone to being inconsistently depicted across the various mediums. Especially partner digimon, who will often carry their partners on their head or shoulders; [[Digimon Adventure 02|Imperialdramon Fighter Mode]] and [[Digimon Tamers|SaintGalgomon]] are kings of this, being to other huge partner digimon as they are to their original humans.
