Line 2:
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Due to the characterization not being explicit (in order to give a more realistic feel), there are wild differences between interpretation among the fans. For example, in the ending scene Jenrya (Henry) nods to his dad to tell him that he forgave him {{spoiler|for having the Digimon partners forcibly separated from the Tamers}}, while many fans thought he had done exactly the opposite.
** This is largely due to the dub, which set up the scene so that {{spoiler|Henry's dad was saying that things would get better eventually, and Henry shaking his head at the notion (as if his dad was wrong). By contrast, in the Japanese version, Jenrya's (Henry's) dad is silent and looking down in shame, and then Jenrya shakes his head (as if in forgiveness).}}

* [[Growing the Beard]]: If the first ''episode'' didn't at least show some impressive stubble for a ''Digimon'' anime, then the appearance of the Devas should have been when the full beard grew out...and then [[Wham! Episode|Beelzemon's appearance]] should have been when the beard [[Up to Eleven|hit the floor]].
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: In-universe example. {{spoiler|Takato used to cry a lot in the first episodes because he was really afraid of losing Guilmon. Cue the last episode.}}
** On [[Word of God|Konaka's blog]], Konaka discusses the development behind Leomon: "In the first season of Digimon, Leomon lost his life in order to save the Digi-Destined. Even though the situation was completely different, was it a good idea to let Leomon face death once more in the third season?" And thus, the [[Running Gag]] of killing a Leomon [[Once a Season]] started...
