The Multiverse: Difference between revisions

== Anime and Manga ==

 

* ''[[Noein]]'' has this where every universe is a [[For Want of a Nail]] situation, running off the theory that for every decision made, [[Another Dimension]] is created where the other option was chosen. [[Contemplate Our Navels|Much philosophy ensues]].

* While on the surface ''[[Digimon]]'' appears to be a case of regular [[Continuity Reboot|continuity reboots]], the [[Wonder Swan]] video games establish it instead as a multiverse. Almost every anime series, manga and video game of the franchise has its own entirely separate versions of the real and Digital World (except ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'' and ''[[Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Leaping Through Time]]'', which are sequels and so exist in the same world); the [[Wonder Swan]] games follow Ryo Akiyama's travels between a few of them. ''[[Digimon V-Tamer 01]]'' had three special chapters in which [[The Hero|Taichi Yagami and Zero]] visited other ''Digimon'' universes, namely those of ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'' (which has its own version of Taichi Yagami), ''[[Digimon Frontier]]'' and the [[Wonder Swan]] games. As such, almost all incarnations of ''Digimon'' take place in a different human world/Digital World pair in the multiverse, and if you know what you're doing (or have a dimension-jumping nemesis, in the case of [[Digimon Adventure: Anode Cathode Tamer|Ryo Akiyama]]) you can travel between them. In addition, some canons have other dimensions tied to that particular universe; ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'' had the Dark Ocean and a surreal world wherein one's wishes defined reality, with others accessible through card combinations at a gate in Vamdemon's castle, and ''[[Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Leaping Through Time]]'' features DigiQuartz, a bizarre [[Dark World]] in between the Real and Digital Worlds.
