Digimon Adventure first aired in 1999 and captured the hearts of children! The series, which depicts the heartwarming bonds and battles between protagonist Taichi Yagami and his partner Digimon, is still popular with fans of all ages, even now, more than 20 years later, and continues to be loved by fans of the original series. In this article, we'll provide a spoiler-filled explanation of the Digital World, the setting for the remake of Digimon Adventure: which began airing in 2020, and its relationship to the world in which Taichi and his friends live.
What is the Digital World?
The Digital World is the home of Agumon and the other Digimon, and is the setting for this work. Through the network, it exerts various influences on the world in which Taichi and his friends live. Various Digimon live in the Digital World, many of which can speak human language. Our protagonist, Taichi Yagami, is suddenly transported to this Digital World along with his childhood friend, Sora Takenouchi. After encountering Agumon, he sets out to stop a Tokyo blackout believed to be caused by the Digital World.
An ancient battle unfolded long ago
As Taichi and his friends begin their journey in the Digital World, a divine Digimon tells them to "find the Sacred Digimon" in a temple-like place. Upon hearing this, Agumon and Biyomon begin to shed tears for no apparent reason. It's later revealed that a "Battle between Light and Darkness" took place long ago in the Digital World, and that the two leaders of that army of light were "Sacred Digimon." Furthermore, among the light forces in the memories of the past shown by Lopmon, Agumon's ultimate evolved form, WarGreymon, also appears. For a moment, the evolved forms of other partner Digimon also appear, suggesting that Agumon and his friends are members of a great battle that fought together in the past. Since Digimon lose their memories and are reborn upon death, Agumon and his friends have no memory of the ancient battle. However, when Agumon and Biyomon heard about the Sacred Digimon in the temple, they likely shed tears because it triggered a fragment of memory somewhere in their hearts.
What is the relationship between the Digital World and the world where Taichi and his friends live?
As of February 2021, all we know is that events in the Digital World have various effects on the world where Taichi and his friends live via the network. However, it seems as if they are linked, as seen in the explosion of a rocket at NASA during a storm in the Digital World. Furthermore, when a large number of Zurumon, who use network data as energy, appeared, power outages and information leaks occurred in the real world. Taichi and his friends' goal is to prevent incidents in the real world that are thought to be caused by the Digital World.
What is the cause of the strange happenings in the Digital World?
The "black lightning" that appears as a sign of darkness in the Digital World is flowing in from the real world. When dark power flows in from the human world, it stimulates Millenniumon, the ultimate weapon of dark Digimons scattered across the Digital World in an ancient battle, and causes a new darkness to emerge.
Are the "chosen children" being summoned by someone?
Influenced by the black lightning, a new darkness is beginning to emerge in the Digital World. According to Lopmon, only the "chosen children" and their partner Digimon can stop it. Taichi and his friends were called to prevent the birth of new darkness and prevent another battle from breaking out in the Digital World. Solving the problems in the Digital World will surely lead to the resolution of the troubles occurring in the real world.
Sora and Joe have returned to the real world!
After the battle with Devimon, Sora, Joe, Mimi, and Koshiro are transported to the real world. However, even they themselves do not know how they returned. At that time, Taichi and Yamato were left behind in the Digital World, and it seems as though they were separated by some intention, but as of February 2021, this has not been made clear. Sora and the others returned to the real world, but were worried about Taichi, Yamato, and the others who were left behind in the Digital World, as well as their separated partner Digimon. With the power of Koshiro, they discovered that Taichi's partner Digimon were in the network space to which he was transferred in episode 1. Sora and the others began watching over the partner Digimon fighting there from the real world.
To the Digital World with the power of Hikari?
While Sora and his friends are watching the battle between their partner Digimon in the park using Koshiro's computer, Taichi's younger sister, Hikari, appears. After a while, Hikari begins to say "I'm calling you," and teleports to the Digital World with Sora and the others. However, while Hikari was the one who initiated the teleportation, it remains a mystery how they managed to do so.
Taichi and his friends are the saviors of the Digital World!
The Digital World and the real world interact with each other. Taichi and his friends initially set out on a journey to stop the strange happenings in Tokyo, but when they learn that preventing the complete revival and plotting of the "new darkness" emerging in the Digital World will save the real world, they take action. Will Taichi and his friends be able to maintain peace between the Digital World and the real world?
