Digimon Adventure 02
Encyclopedia
, also commonly referred as Digimon Zero Two, is the direct sequel to the previous series
and takes place three years after the original series. With most of the original characters now in junior high school, the Digital World was supposedly secure and peaceful. However, a new evil has appeared in the form of the Digimon Emperor (Digimon Kaiser). This new villain is different - he's a human just like the DigiDestined. The Digimon Emperor has been enslaving all Digimon in sight with Black Rings and Control Spires and, to make things worse, has somehow made regular Digivolution impossible. Three new children are chosen to save the Digital World and, along with T.K. and Kari, make up the new generation of DigiDestined.
Taking place a few years after Digimon Adventure
, the Digital World comes under attack by a mysterious human calling himself the Digimon Emperor who is enslaving Digimon with his black rings while building Control Spires that negate Digivolution. To fight him, T.K and Kari, along with three new children, gain a type of Digivice
called a D3, which allows them to open a gate to be transported to the Digital World through any computer and a D-Terminal that holds Crest-themed relics called that allow Patamon and Gatomon, along with the new Digimon Veemon, Hawkmon, and Armadillomon to Armor Digivolve as a counter to the presence of Control Spires. They eventually stop the Digimon Emperor, revealed to be the boy genius Ken Ichijouji
, thanks to the sacrifice of Wormmon
, Ken's partner.
With the Digimon Emperor defeated, the DigiDestined proceed to help the resident Digimon rebuild their homes. However, after his defeat, and soul searching, Ken learns of a mysterious woman who can turn Control Spires into constructs resembling living Digimon. Though Veemon, Hawkmon, and Armadillomon were able to Digivolve naturally, the Control Spire Digimon prove to be stronger until Ken joins the gang and they learn of DNA Digivolution, enabling their Digimon to fuse with each other in pairs for more power. However, the mysterious woman, revealed to be a human-Digimon hybrid called Arukenimon, responds by creating BlackWarGreymon. Though the construct refuses to follow her orders, Arukenimon and her lackey Mummymon take advantage of his drive to destroy the Destiny Stones that keep the dimensional barriers of the human and Digital Worlds from blending.
Eventually, when the battle was brought to the Real World, Arukenimon and Mummymon's boss, Yukio Oikawa, makes himself known. Despite interference from Daemon and his forces, Oikawa extracts from Ken data of the Dark Spore, the object responsible for Ken becoming the Digimon Emperor, and copies it into a group of children who wish for the greatness the old, evil Ken had. Those spores develop into flowers that harvest the infected children's energy. Eventually, the DigiDestined confront Oikawa, only to learn he is a loner whose only friend in the world was the late Hiroki Hida, Cody's father, and that his actions were so he can enter the DigiWorld.
However, it was then revealed as Oikawa attempted to make his way into the Digital World that he was only a pawn/vessel for the true mastermind, Myotismon
from the first series, now reborn as MaloMyotismon. Eventually, after a long battle with aid from the DigiDestined from all over the world, the Japanese DigiDestined destroyed MaloMyotismon. Though weakened from the evil Digimon's possession, a dying Oikawa sacrifices his physical existence to return the Digital World to its peaceful state and serve as it guardian. In the series aftermath, twenty-five years later, the humans and Digimon live side by side as the Japanese DigiDestined gather together with their families.
Note: With the exception of Cody's family, and T.K. and Kari's parents, no parents of the Digimon Adventure 02 DigiDestined were named.

film. It was released in Japan on July 8, 2000 as part of the 2000 Summer Toei Anime Fair along with Ojamajo Doremi # the Movie, which was screened between the two parts. It was released in the United States on October 6, 2000 as the third part of Digimon: The Movie
. This film was the longest movie Toei Animation has created in Japan. The running time was about 65 mins (the rest of the movies were between 20-40 mins).
The story focuses on American DigiDestined Willis
, whose involvement with an enigmatic threat has started to influence the rest of the DigiDestined as well. As a child, Willis was given two twin Digimon, a Gummymon and a Kokomon. One day, Kokomon mysteriously disappeared without a trace, returning later as the ruthless Wendigomon after being corrupted by a rogue viral program. Hoping to find Willis, Wendigomon begins to kidnap the other DigiDestined and de-age them. During this time, T.K. and Kari investigate Willis' whereabouts shortly after Mimi's disappearance and enlists the help of Davis and the other younger DigiDestined to help. On the way, Davis and the others run into Willis, who is traveling to his summer home in Colorado, where he believes Wendigomon wants him to go, as it was the place where Kokomon disappeared.
Willis at first refuses the help of the DigiDestined and even his own partner, Terriermon, fearing they will get hurt. However, Davis and Terriermon convince him that he is not alone in this battle. When Willis meets with Wendigomon at Summer Memory the next morning, he realized Wendigomon is no longer the Digimon he knows, and prepares to fight him. In response, Wendigomon digivolves to Antylamon, and then Cherubimon, de-aging Willis and the younger DigiDestined as well. Willis figures out that his Digimon's urge for things to go back to the way there were literally meant to make Willis a kid again. In this battle, Kari and T.K. gave Willis and Davis the Golden Digi-Eggs, transforming Veemon into Magnamon and Terriermon into a Armor evolved Rapidmon. After the battle was over, Cherubimon was defeated and the older Chosen Children reappeared at the points were they had disappeared from. In the end, Willis discovered that his Digimon is still alive after the fight, ready to be reborn from a Digi-Egg.
The North American compilation of this, and the two previous movies, claims that Willis 'created' Diaboromon, in an attempt to create a continuous storyline. The compilation also cuts the de-aging of the older children and battles from the third movie in order to shorten the film. Also for the dubbed version of the third movie, all the images that were shown of the older Chosen Children at the beginning of the dubbed film were actually what they were doing when they disappeared.
, released in the U.S. and Canada territory by Fox Kids on October 6, 2000, consists of the union of the first three Japanese movies (first two parts from Digimon Adventure
, the third part from Digimon Adventure 02). Those stories are based in the universe introduced in the first two series of the TV series.
film. It was released in Japan on March 3, 2001. It was released in the United States on August 5, 2005.
Also known as Revenge of Diaboromon. In this movie, that takes place three months after MaloMyotismon's defeat, the DigiDestined go up against Diaboromon
again. Tai and Matt head back to the Internet to deal with him with Omnimon, while the younger Chosen Children go to deal with the rampage of a swarm of Kuramon (Diaboromon's Fresh form). With the help of Angemon and Angewomon (with T.K. and Kari), Omnimon was able to destroy Diaboromon again, but it turned out to be a trap, as his destruction allowed many more Kuramon to go to the Real World. Things go out of control when the Kuramon in the Real
World merge to create a Mega level called Armageddemon, an alternate Mega in Diaboromon's evolutionary line. It is so powerful that neither Omnimon nor Imperialdramon were able to defeat it on their own. In the end, Omnimon gives his energy to Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, powering him up to Paladin Mode. Using his Omni Sword attack, Imperialdramon is able to strike down Armageddemon, splitting him back up into the Kuramon. With the help of the energy from the DigiDestined Digivices and the cell phones from the other kids of Japan, the Omni Sword is powered up, allowing all of the Kuramon to be destroyed for good.

Nat-chan displays feelings for Davis, but the group does not know that she is really a giant clawed Digimon, who makes her transformation by using the "fireflies", which are revealed to be data chips, which have corrupted her data. Davis realises Nat-chan was lonely and just wanted a Chosen Children partner. Unfortunately, Nat-chan dies and comes back as a Digitama, but luckily, Davis and the others take it upon themselves to help find Nat-chan's true Partner.
Willis and Mimi indicate that the sudden winter was created from Davis' heart, which was unhappy after losing the district football (soccer) competition and his unrequited love
for Kari

Digimon: The Movie
Digimon: The Movie is a 2000 American film adaptation of the first three Japanese Digimon films distributed by 20th Century Fox.

. This film was the longest movie Toei Animation has created in Japan. The running time was about 65 mins (the rest of the movies were between 20-40 mins).
The story focuses on American DigiDestined Willis
Willis (Digimon)
Willis, known as in the Japanese version, is a fictional character in the anime series Digimon. He appears in the film Digimon Hurricane Touchdown/Supreme Evolution! The Golden Digimentals, as well as in the CD drama, Natsu e no Tobira...
, whose involvement with an enigmatic threat has started to influence the rest of the DigiDestined as well. As a child, Willis was given two twin Digimon, a Gummymon and a Kokomon. One day, Kokomon mysteriously disappeared without a trace, returning later as the ruthless Wendigomon after being corrupted by a rogue viral program. Hoping to find Willis, Wendigomon begins to kidnap the other DigiDestined and de-age them. During this time, T.K. and Kari investigate Willis' whereabouts shortly after Mimi's disappearance and enlists the help of Davis and the other younger DigiDestined to help. On the way, Davis and the others run into Willis, who is traveling to his summer home in Colorado, where he believes Wendigomon wants him to go, as it was the place where Kokomon disappeared.
Willis at first refuses the help of the DigiDestined and even his own partner, Terriermon, fearing they will get hurt. However, Davis and Terriermon convince him that he is not alone in this battle. When Willis meets with Wendigomon at Summer Memory the next morning, he realized Wendigomon is no longer the Digimon he knows, and prepares to fight him. In response, Wendigomon digivolves to Antylamon, and then Cherubimon, de-aging Willis and the younger DigiDestined as well. Willis figures out that his Digimon's urge for things to go back to the way there were literally meant to make Willis a kid again. In this battle, Kari and T.K. gave Willis and Davis the Golden Digi-Eggs, transforming Veemon into Magnamon and Terriermon into a Armor evolved Rapidmon. After the battle was over, Cherubimon was defeated and the older Chosen Children reappeared at the points were they had disappeared from. In the end, Willis discovered that his Digimon is still alive after the fight, ready to be reborn from a Digi-Egg.
The North American compilation of this, and the two previous movies, claims that Willis 'created' Diaboromon, in an attempt to create a continuous storyline. The compilation also cuts the de-aging of the older children and battles from the third movie in order to shorten the film. Also for the dubbed version of the third movie, all the images that were shown of the older Chosen Children at the beginning of the dubbed film were actually what they were doing when they disappeared.

again. Tai and Matt head back to the Internet to deal with him with Omnimon, while the younger Chosen Children go to deal with the rampage of a swarm of Kuramon (Diaboromon's Fresh form). With the help of Angemon and Angewomon (with T.K. and Kari), Omnimon was able to destroy Diaboromon again, but it turned out to be a trap, as his destruction allowed many more Kuramon to go to the Real World. Things go out of control when the Kuramon in the Real
World merge to create a Mega level called Armageddemon, an alternate Mega in Diaboromon's evolutionary line. It is so powerful that neither Omnimon nor Imperialdramon were able to defeat it on their own. In the end, Omnimon gives his energy to Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, powering him up to Paladin Mode. Using his Omni Sword attack, Imperialdramon is able to strike down Armageddemon, splitting him back up into the Kuramon. With the help of the energy from the DigiDestined Digivices and the cell phones from the other kids of Japan, the Omni Sword is powered up, allowing all of the Kuramon to be destroyed for good.
