Digimon Adventure (known as Season 1 of Digimon: Digital Monsters in English) is the first ever anime series in the Digimon franchise, which started off as an Alternate Universe to the first two Digimon manga, C'mon Digimon and Digimon V-Tamer 01. The story began with an animated movie that was released on March 6, 1999, then continued with a television show of the same name (the more well-known entry).Seven ordinary kids are caught up in a strange snowstorm while attending summer camp and get sucked through a portal into the Digital World, a fantasy world populated by sentient monsters called Digimon. Armed with the mysterious "Digivices" and seven Digimon who are sworn to protect them, the kids try to survive in this new and exotic world until they can find a way home.Over time, the kids slowly come to understand their role as the "Digidestined" (Chosen Children), fighting not only a number of hostile Digimon but their own fears, insecurities and character flaws. However, when the conflicts in the Digital World spill over into the Human World, the stakes are raised and the kids must decide what they are willing to sacrifice if they want to Save Both Worlds.The English dub had reruns on Nicktoons, referred to by the network and Saban Brands as Digimon Adventures.note potentially a blanket term for both Adventure and Adventure 02, as the Nicktoons site lists information for Adventure but uses images of the kids in outfits used in 02. Saban promoted Digimon Adventures through the official Digimon Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts.The success of Digimon Adventure led to several sequels and adaptations: | |

Digimon Adventure / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: This happens with pretty much all of the kids, Matt and Sora probably taking it the worst. Another very noteworthy one being near the end of the Etemon arc, when Tai learns that he is not invincible, simply because he exists in that world as a digital proxy of himself. He gets over it eventually, and awesome ensues when his crest awakens after an emotional 180 degree turn. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
Digimon Adventure / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The Dark Caves don't really connect to much else in the plot or enable the characters trapped in them to connect with many others (particularly in Sora's case, as with Matt, there was at least a clearer cause and effect, and Gabumon was there to keep him company and talk him through things), but they work very well as a general metaphor for depression, which often doesn't, have a clear cause and effect. Not to mention that apart from being dark, the caves are scary, lonely places which each seem to not have an exit at one point. | |

Brainwashed and Crazy: Everyone infected with a Black Gear gets this by default, but two examples stand out above the others: Leomon was stuffed with multiple black gears, causing him to grow, turn grey and become even more Ax-Crazy. Meramon suddenly feels all the fire burning on his body when infected. When you mix a sudden case of the evils with feeling like your entire body is on fire (which it is), it turns him Ax-Crazy. | |

In the episode "Evil Shows His Face" the kids walk into a mansion and T.K. comments on the beauty of an angel painting. Patamon asks what an angel is, which T.K. then explains. Guess who later evolves into an angel. This also references something explained in expanded universe materials about Devimon - he's a fallen Angemon. There are also 8 beds in the mansion, foreshadowing the 8th child long before she was even hinted at. | |

Game-Breaker: In-universe. That's basically what happens whenever someone with advanced tech knowledge enters the digital world.

More than Mind Control: Matt, especially after talking to Cherrymon. He doesn't so much take control of his mind as much as manipulate him emotionally. Vademon doesn't brainwash Izzy, but he takes his curiosity, convincing Izzy to just accept information presented to him and not seek answers for himself. It basically makes him into a doormat, as he doesn't question Vademon when he tells him to give up his digivice and crest. | |

Mons as Characterization: The Chosen Children are partnered with a type of Digimon. Some of them are the exact opposite of their personalities, but others are pretty much the same as their human counterparts. One example: Matt/Yamato's partner is Gabumon, who digivolves into Garurumon, a large blue furred wolf. This represents Matt's lone wolf nature. | |

Gratuitous English: Adventure set the trend for the franchise absolutely loving this trope. Almost every attack name seen, and all of them for the main character Digimon and Big Bads. Adventure also set the trend for spurts of English sporadically appearing throughout the opening, closing, insert and evolution themes throughout the franchise, and most song names are also Gratuitous English. | |

Kick the Dog | |
Digimon Adventure / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Myotismon has a lot of these moments, especially in the Eighth Child arc. When he's taken an entire district of Tokyo captive, he decides to separate the children from the adults in order to locate the eighth child, relishing the mere thought of their cries. And prior to all that, he enslaves and torments the puppy-like Salamon. Etemon and the Dark Masters have their moments; Etemon keeps hitting and bullying his Gazimon followers; the Dark Masters attack the Gekomon and Otamamon 'for the fun of it'. | |

Actor Allusion | |
Digimon Adventure / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Sora hilariously Lampshades herself in a No Fourth Wall session in one of the drama CDs, where she complains about sounding like an "old lady." Though 34 (the age of Yuko Mizutani when she voiced Sora) doesn't seem to be that old, it certainly qualifies as Dawson Casting. In addition to this, another drama track consists of a radio show recording DJ'd by Sora, which alludes to how Yuko Mizutani ran a radio show years back. | |

Kill Steal | |
Digimon Adventure / int_3a4f904c | comment |
Kill Steal: Happens to MegaKabuterimon while fighting Puppetmon. MegaKabuterimon had already freed WarGreymon from Puppetmon's control, blown away his bullet hammer and injured him to a fair degree; all with a single well placed bolt of lightning. Puppetmon's forced to animate his mansion as a distraction and run away, until he runs into MetalGarurumon and Matt, whom he finds he's no longer capable of manipulating. He's promptly taken out by the the duo after furiously charging at them while injured with only the wooden cross on his back as an improvised weapon, better known as the Puppet Pummel/Flying Cross Cutter which is only effective when thrown like a boomerang. | |

Artifact of Hope | |
Digimon Adventure / int_3b619d4a | comment |
Artifact of Hope: The Tags and Crests are a set of pendants made as companion pieces for the Digidestined's digivices to allow their corresponding digimon to digivolve into their Ultimate forms (or in Agumon and Gabumon's case, warp-digivolve to Mega-level). Each crest is associated with their corresponding destined's best quality (Courage, Friendship, Love, Sincerity, Knowledge, Reliability, Hope and Light), drawing power when they display these qualities. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
Digimon Adventure / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle Omnimon vs. a million Diaboromon. And it's not Omnimon who's on the losing end. Garudamon and Garurumon were on the receiving end of one when they first fought Snimon and Tuskmon. The first episode of the Dark Masters arc has the Digidestined's Digimons getting utterly curb-stomped by the Dark Masters themselves. It takes two heroic sacrifices from two of their allies in the past that they managed to even escape with their lives. Pretty much every battle, really. Just about every episode has the protagonists' Digimon hopelessly outmatched against the Monster of the Week until they Digivolve fully, at which point they effortlessly obliterate the bad guys. | |

Digimon Adventure / int_3fca462c | comment |
Deus ex Machina: The Digivices and Crests. They're supposed to make the Digimon be able to digivolve but they come with a load more nifty tricks that are never elaborated on. Against Devimon, the digivices served to give more power to Angemon even though he was established later on as being a very powerful Digimon. One would think he could get the job done by himself. Against Venommyotismon, when the chosen children were defeated, the Crests suddenly acted up and physically restrained the giant when their own Digimon couldn't do that... Against Apocalymon, he threatened both worlds with some suicide attack, the digivices ended up forming some barrier to contain him. Mimi's Crest glowing breaks Demidevimon's hypnotism attack. There is also the episode where Kari gains some power that releases a light to give Digimon more strength. Agumon used this light to warp digivolve and defeat Machinedramon. | |

Immortality Field | |
Digimon Adventure / int_401bfa84 | comment |
Immortality Field: This continuity established that Digimon that died in the DigiWorld would eventually resurrect in the "Village of Beginnings" as Digi-Eggs. If a Digimon dies in the real world, however, they stay dead, like Gotsumon, Pumpkinmon, and Wizardmon. Somehow, this is apparently inverted for Myotismon, who died in the real world and came back. Then died again, and came back again in the next series. In fact, he's only Killed Off for Real in the Digital World. By the time of Digimon Adventure tri., Leomon had returned after dying in the first series, only for him to die in the real world. However, the Reboot of the DigiWorld allowed permanently deceased Digimon to be reborn. | |

Likewise many other Digimon, including Kabuterimon (kabuto is beetle in Japanese), Angemon (angel), Tyrannomon (Tyrannosaurus rex), Andromon (android), and Leomon (leo being lion in Latin). The mon part in all Digimon names just means monster. | |

2D Visuals, 3D Effects: Greymon and Garurumon's evolutions to Perfect level, as well as their warp-evolutions, use 3D animation. It looks... rather out of place, given that every other Digimon use traditional hand-drawn animation in their Perfect evolution sequences. This would later be repeated in Adventure 02, Tamers and Savers, with Paildramon/Imperialdramon, Guilmon and Terriermon's lines, and ShineGreymon and MirageGaogamon's Burst Modes respectively. | |

Digimon Adventure / int_4bc2a19c | comment |
Villain Forgot to Level Grind: All four Dark Masters show that each one is extremely dangerous in their first appearance, with Piedmon alone taking out the combined forces of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, both also of the Mega level. But later on, the Digidestined had gotten stronger and more experienced through fighting their forces and while the Dark Masters are still a huge threat, they're not as big a one that they used to be and three of them are dispatched by WarGreymon or MetalGarurumon, both now very experienced. This is particularly clear with Piedmon, who they couldn't even touch in their first fight. Fast forward to when they meet him again, and most of the partner Digimon - including those only able to evolve as far as Ultimate - are able to put up a good fight with Piedmon, and he had to resort to turning them into keychains to avoid losing. Once they bypass that trick, he's gone. Another notable example is Shellmon. When he is first faced it takes Greymon to eventually beat him, but during the Dark Masters arc when he's faced again the Digimon soundly defeat him without evolving. | |

Demonic Vampires: Myotismon is a vampire-like Digimon whose Mega form is a giant red and black winged demon. Fittingly, his Japanese name, Vamdemon, is a combination of the words vampire and demon. | |

Digimon Adventure / int_54bb502b | comment |
Nobody Poops: Averted with the Digimon, in spectacular fashion. Numemon, Sukamon, and Garbagemon use their poop as their main attack. However the dub changes this to sludge. The only exception is they keep Koromon pooping in a car in one episode, though they didn't really have a choice since it was kind of a plot point. | |

Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness: More so in the movie than the series (and much more so in the dub than the original, though it had its moments), it gets particularly jarring when an extremely emotional or suspense scene occurs, and one of the characters makes a joke that a fifth grader would think of. | |

Digimon Adventure / int_5d0c92b6 | comment |
Abridged Series: From the makers of Geass Twist and Bleachers, there's an entertaining one here. There's one from LittleKuriboh, Dark Side Incorporated and MasakoX here, though it sort of turned into an April fool's day joke. An interesting variation is the Tokyopop translations of the manga adaptation. The manga adaptation compressed the story considerably, skipping over and rushing minor and sometimes not-so-minor events. With added humor by the English adapter, the manga gave the effect of an Abridged series. From the makers of Digimon Adventure tri. Abridged comes an abridged version of this. | |

Dub-Induced Plot Hole | |
Digimon Adventure / int_6a85e9e1 | comment |
Dub-Induced Plot Hole: Izzy knowing what a Digivice is before Centarumon telling him about it. Matt's father knowing who Gabumon was, during the Real World Arc, which lead to many speculations that Matt's dad was a Digidestined. There's also Mimi's throwaway comment about her little brother early on in the series, prior to the clarification that she's actually an only child. The important ones are corrected or ignored when the situation arises. Sora explains what each crest symbolizes to the Digidestined after overhearing DemiDevimon. Tai acts surprised to hear he has the Crest of Courage, despite referring to that crest as such multiple times in many episodes. It's clear the writers intended this to be a big reveal but forgot they'd already mentioned the names of the crests before. The Digimon Adventure pilot movie was released in Japan before the first episode of the series was ever broadcast, but that wasn't the case with the English version, so English-speaking audiences didn't have the same timely access to information provided by the movie, such as when the kids got their first look at Digimon or the fact that Tai has a little sister. That one strange time when Tai briefly goes back to the real world and gets a message from Izzy back in the Digital World. A later episode repeats this same scene from Izzy's perspective — but the English dub made no effort to keep Izzy's dialogue consistent, meaning it plays out like a completely different scene. There's also some confusion as to who called who, as the dub makes it seem that Izzy's laptop called Tai on its own, somehow. | |

Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: DemiDevimon fills this role for Myotismon. While he keeps the Chosen Children/Digidestined separated while Tai is away, as soon as he comes back, DemiDevimon begins comically failing and getting punished by Myotismon for his failings. The two Hagurumon working for Machinedramon fit this bill too; Machinedramon has incredible firepower and is willing to devastate his own city to get to the heroes. His gear-like minions cower before that plan, even though they aren't even the targets! | |

Bond Villain Stupidity: More than once the villains have the opportunity to eliminate the children in short order, but prefer to engage in more Monster of the Week shenanigans instead of directly engaging them. The Dark Masters are the biggest example since they start off averting this trope; they do intend to kill the heroes immediately after capturing them the first time, but after being thwarted by a Heroic Sacrifice and despite it being shown they can locate the kids easily, they'd rather let their significantly less competent minions do the work from then on. | |

Alternative Foreign Theme Song: Done by the American English dub "Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!"

However, their dub of the movie "Children's War Game" averted this by using a translation of the Japanese theme. | |

Etemon is introduced as a Laughably Evil yet Not-So-Harmless Villain. He is revealed as an adult-size monkey puppet with a very goofy popstar personality and it's hard to take him seriously. Then later in the same episode, he is able to De-Power the Chosen Children's Digimon Partners with The Power of Rock and destroys a village, and he does both things while being several kilometres away from them. And at the end of the episode, it is shown that his network cables are spread over the entire Server Continent, showing that he has much more power and control over the continent than you would have imagined. | |

Rapid-Fire Comedy: The dub movie (especially the "Our War Game" segment) had loads and loads of surprisingly clever tongue-in-cheek and audio/visual gags. The dub of the main series also tended to do this. | |

Animation Bump | |
Digimon Adventure / int_7ea2a915 | comment |
Animation Bump: Episode 21 was directed by Mamoru Hosoda, who made the first two Digimon films. The quality of the artwork was considered by many to be a huge improvement, but Hosoda only directed one episode due to creative differences between his style and the style of the series as a whole. This episode is in some ways comparable to the Dark Ocean episode in Adventure 02, directed by Chiaki Konaka. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
Digimon Adventure / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: We're first introduced to the main characters at summer camp and their reactions to the sudden snow sets up their personalities - Tai excitedly runs out first and wanting a tobagan race, T.K. happily running out to build a snowman, Matt urging his little brother to be careful, Sora lamenting that she didn't bring a jacket, Joe worrying about what ailment he'll pick up, Mimi cheerily mentioning that she should have brought her pink furry socks and Izzy staying inside with his computer. Etemon is introduced as a Laughably Evil yet Not-So-Harmless Villain. He is revealed as an adult-size monkey puppet with a very goofy popstar personality and it's hard to take him seriously. Then later in the same episode, he is able to De-Power the Chosen Children's Digimon Partners with The Power of Rock and destroys a village, and he does both things while being several kilometres away from them. And at the end of the episode, it is shown that his network cables are spread over the entire Server Continent, showing that he has much more power and control over the continent than you would have imagined. | |

Digimon Adventure / int_8d25533e | comment |
Your Size May Vary: Although pretty much every Digimon, and especially all of the main Digimon, experience these issues from time to time, the worst offender is probably Greymon and his evolutions, which could be anywhere from 20ft tall to the size of a skyscraper. MegaKabuterimon could be a pretty big offender too. He's one of the Digidestined's biggest Digimon, bigger even than MetalGreymon and usually looking to be at least 40-50 feet tall. Then in some scenes, he's only about 2-3 times the size of Angewomon, who's just a bit taller than a human. | |

Wham Episode: Quite a few: Episode 8: Devimon reveals himself to the cast, splitting them across multiple islands after luring them into a mansion. Episode 13: Patamon evolves into Angemon in the nick of time, defeating Devimon, but at the cost of his own life and his data is reconfigured back into a Digiegg. Episode 20: After defeating Etemon (and achieving the heroes' first Perfect/Ultimate evolution), Tai and Koromon are warped through a portal back to Tokyo. Episode 21 and 22: Tai enjoys his time in Tokyo but finds out the distortion caused by their last fight is influencing their world and causing multiple disasters all over the planet he then returns. After which, he finds out he's been gone for almost two months in the digital world and the others split up to find him, and during which the new Big Bad has been in the process of stealing their crest and deceiving them to keep them from using said crest. Episode 27: The kids discover that there is an 8th child, Myotismon opens a portal to Earth, moving through with his forces, and the heroes are too late to get to him before the portal closes. Episode 34: Tai discovers his sister is the eight Digidestined, while Myotismon finds out that Gatomon is the destined Digimon, kidnapping her and (temporarily) killing Wizardmon. Episode 40: The cast finds out that the Digital World has been taken over by four extremely powerful, malevolent Digimon, who easily defeat the heroes, causing Piximon to perform a Heroic Sacrifice to save them. | |

Rewatch Bonus: Watching the Search for the Eighth Child Arc the first time is very different than watching it after learning in 02 that there are (or at least soon will be) actually thousands of Chosen Children around the world, including 4 in Japan and one of them right under Vamdemon's nose. After watching 02, we know that Vamdemon is completely unaware just how futile his quest to prevent the Chosen Children from growing stronger and expanding their team actually is, and it's ironic how much energy the heroes put into finding one more member because they're unaware of just how many future teammates are around them. This adds a layer of irony and even humor to both sides' goals and missions that wasn't there the first time around. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Digimon Adventure / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: In the episode "Evil Shows His Face" the kids walk into a mansion and T.K. comments on the beauty of an angel painting. Patamon asks what an angel is, which T.K. then explains. Guess who later evolves into an angel. This also references something explained in expanded universe materials about Devimon - he's a fallen Angemon. There are also 8 beds in the mansion, foreshadowing the 8th child long before she was even hinted at. At the end of Episode 1, the narrator in the Japanese version says: "it was the beginning of the longest, and shortest, summer vacation they had ever had", foreshadowing the fact that time flows differently in the Digimon world. In Episode 2, "Garurumon", when they encounter the trolley car Tai suggests that it might be their way home. Once the Digital World appears in the sky, there are reaction shots from New York City, Paris, and Moscow. Each city is featured in an episode of the Digimon World Tour. Each of the original seven Digidestined are seen displaying their respective crest qualities when their partner digimon first take on their champion forms. Almost all of their crests represent a trait that, in battle, lend themselves to courage in some form, so it's easy to miss if you're not looking for it, but going down the list... Tai went right up to Shellmon and jabbed at his foot with an improvised javelin, proving how much Courage he had as early as just the second episode of the show. Matt dove into the lake from shore to get to the other kids on the island, showing the early developments of his Friendship towards them (mostly for T.K.'s sake, but still). Sora herded the many Yokomon down into the old ship, making sure they were all safe before following. This showed her care and Love for the Digimon of which her own Biyomon originally was. Izzy hacked into Tentomon's digital DNA and even used this to jumpstart his first Digivolution to Kabuterimon, proving how much Knowledge of the Digimon's world the boy gained in a relatively short amount of time. Mimi got tired of hiding her bad mood and showed more of how Sincere she could truly be with her feelings. Joe leaped right onto Unimon to try and save the younger kids by pulling out the black gear manually. This was all a part of his desire to be a more trustworthy and Reliable member of the team. T.K. was a kid who didn't really have the sense to run when he should've, but may have been holding out Hope and it worked in his favor that one time. In the end of episode 17 a cactus saves the team by shielding them from Kokatorimon's ship. After he blew up with it, the the top of the cactus starts glowing. When the glow fades, the cactus grows a beautiful pink lily. Inside it, lies the Crest of Sincerity. This foreshadows that Palmon's ultimate Digivolution may not be in that bad taste. | |

Snimon is able to take down Garudamon despite only being an adult level while Tuskmon throws Garurumon around like a rag-doll, forcing Kari to give herself up to Vamdemon. The second time they clash with three of the Chosen Children who engage the two as a distraction. WereGarurumon opens with a sucker punch to both Digimon, which they both shrug off. This time around, Garudamon handles Tuskmon on her own, leaving Zudomon and WereGarurumon to fight the more powerful Snimon. Even after being outnumbered by three Digimon each an evolution level higher, they still manage to keep the three Digimon and their children tied down long enough for the other children to climb to the top of the Fuji TV Station before they are incapacitated. | |

Gag Dub | |
Digimon Adventure / int_9f240209 | comment |
Gag Dub: The Saban dub is this, there were times when it acted silly - but it did definitely know how to be heartbreakingly serious when it had to be, not to mention its general aversion of Never Say "Die", and it generally took itself more seriously as the show went on. The dub was dubbed by the same company who worked on Samurai Pizza Cats so all the added humor in the dub shouldn't come off as very surprising. Played straight with the dub of the first OVA: even aside from it being accompanied with OVAs for later seasons, already causing info overlap ("Why is the show about kids that were in high school at the end of the movie?"), the somber, quiet tone inspired by the original Godzilla movies is completely removed, making it feel more like an extended battle for the actual series, complete with Digimon calling their attacks. | |

Guilt-Induced Nightmare | |
Digimon Adventure / int_9f63a591 | comment |
Guilt-Induced Nightmare: In "Princess Karaoke", Mimi has become stuck-up as a result of all the praise she's been given for her Beautiful Singing Voice, alienating her friends as a result. She has a nightmare that she's being stalked by Devimon and Etemon and her friends abandon her for her actions. Even Palmon refuses to help her. Sora (in her Dream Within a Dream) lampshades this, saying that her dream was trying to teach her the error of her ways. When Mimi wakes up for real, she realizes how much of a spoiled brat she's become. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
Digimon Adventure / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The Etemon arc. Etemon, a monkey-like Digimon who acts like an Elvis Impersonator, is sandwiched between the demonic Devimon and the even more demonic Myotismon. Yes, he was no doubt dangerous, but he wasn't nearly as terrifying as the villain before or after him. This also happens a lot during the Dark Masters arc, mainly because it's the show at its darkest and thus occasional bouts of comic relief become something of a necessity. For example, the first episode after their introduction, which ends with Piximon sacrificing himself to save them, has them dealing with Scorpiomon, who is a complete schmuck of a goon paid in clams. | |

And I Must Scream: In Episode 52, the DigiDestined and their Digimon (barring T.K., Kari, and Mimi) are turned into keychains from Piedmon. From the keychains' perspective, they see, feel and hear nothing. This gets turned back at him when he is thrown into HolyAngemon's Heaven's Gate, a portal to subspace from which he can never escape. And Digimon are pretty much immortal, barring being killed outright. Not to say Piedmon didn't deserve it. | |

Artistic Age | |
Digimon Adventure / int_b1d2b799 | comment |
Artistic Age: The Pilot Movie, set 4 years before the start of the series, featured a 7-year old Tai and a 4-year old Kari. Due to the drastic style difference (chubby bodies, very small hands and feet) both looked much younger. This wasn't helped by the fact that Kari was seen in a high chair and barely had any dialogue, being portrayed more like a toddler. It could be justified by the fact that the series hadn't established its characters yet, so Kari might have been intended to be a toddler in the movie before the show set her present age to 8, retroactively making her 4 in the film. | |

The Digidestined and their Digimon, all left powerless after being digitized by Apocalymon, refuse to quit and manage to activate the power of their Crests that they had inside them the entire time. They give a group one of these before digivolving their Digimon, reassembling themselves, and taking Apocalymon apart. | |

Shout-Out | |
Digimon Adventure / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Myotismon is a humanoid, suave vampire with a exceedingly bizarre castle, legions of dark minions (including a Grim Reaper expy as a lieutenant) and a second, much more monstrous form he assumes after being beaten at first. Sound Familiar? Our War Game has two kids fighting against a killer Digimon against the clock because the said mon, which is essentially a sentient computer program, is planning to fire nukes that it got access to by hacking the military. Even the name gives a clue to a certain 80's movie. A large smog-based Digimon rising from the bay and attacking a night club? Sounds rather familiar. One dub title is called "Princess Karaoke," a reference to Princess Mononoke. In the dub, Piedmon is voiced in the style of Tim Curry. It's a reference to another monster clown, played by Curry in an television adaption. The three Gerbemon/Garbagemon who attack the crew in Puppetmon's forest do a Jet Stream Atttack, complete with Lilimon using one as a springboard. | |

Dub Text: Matt and T.K. being half brothers. Hmm, no wonder the parents divorced and their mom kept T.K.. The dub later abandoned this and reverted them to being proper brothers. In the Latin-American Spanish dub, they refer to each other as brothers but their parents are divorced, and the mother keeps T.K., but calling your half brother 'brother' in Spanish is a sign of fraternity. | |

Taking You with Me | |
Digimon Adventure / int_caf89e54 | comment |
Taking You with Me: Apocalymon was willing to kill himself and destroy everything and everyone in the process. Datamon tries this with Etemon. It works, but Etemon binds with the imploding data and is reborn as MetalEtemon. | |

Musical Pastiche | |
Digimon Adventure / int_cb092754 | comment |
Musical Pastiche: In the the Japanese version, it reused a musical piece from Sailor Moon, another Toei production; the music composer for both shows was none other than the late Takanori Arisawa. Compare the two: at 2:35 for the Sailor Moon version and click here for the Digimon version. They're almost exactly the same. The dub version uses the soundtrack from Saban's Masked Rider. | |

Spoiler Opening | |
Digimon Adventure / int_cd83fa5b | comment |
Spoiler Opening: Depending which station you were watching it on, the dub ending credits gave away the Ultimate level Digivolutions and the fact there was going to be another kid. Also, the champion/adult digivolutions, though all things considered only Angemon was really ever intended as much of a mystery or surprise. A rather curious one in the second Finnish dub opening; the lyrics go along the lines "We don't feel fear at all, since our bravery took down The Dark Masters afterall." despite it starting when the kids are still dealing with Vamdemon/Myotismon. | |

Killed Off for Real | |
Digimon Adventure / int_cda501da | comment |
Killed Off for Real: Since when Digimon die their data merely gets reconfigured and they start life over again, they technically can't really die. However this only applies to when they're in the Digital World, so any Digimon who dies in the Real World, most notably Gostumon, Pumpkinmon, and Wizardmon, stay dead. Though apparently this rule doesn't apply to Myotismon, who dies in the real world and comes back. Then dies again, and comes back again in the next series. In fact, he's only killed off for good in the Digital World. | |

Nuclear Weapons Taboo | |
Digimon Adventure / int_cdaa029f | comment |
Nuclear Weapons Taboo: Averted in Our War Game, where the main battle is a race against the clock to keep a nuke from detonating in Tokyo Bay. Artistic License – Nuclear Physics was also averted here. After Diablomon is defeated, the ICBM he launched harmlessly crashed into Tokyo Bay. In his ''Fanatic's Guide to Digimon'' Chris McFeely was puzzled why the nuke doesn't go off. Latter, a fan cleared it up, stating that nuclear bombs don't blow up because of impact. SkullGreymon's Ground Zero (dubbed as Dark Shot), when he fires his missile and creates widespread devastation. | |

Muscles Are Meaningless: A digimon's power is based more heavily on its evolution stage than anything else, which doesn't necessarily correspond to size. Ultimate-level digimon like Etemon can toss around multiple larger champion-level digimon without issue. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Digimon Adventure / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Tai in Episode 19. After Izzy comes up with the idea they are all just data in the Digital World, Tai mistakenly assumes that this makes him unkillable in the Digital World and decides to treat it more like some game. Everyone is displeased with this display, the most noticeable of them being Sora who questions his every reckless action during the episode. Thankfully he snaps out of it, unfortunately this comes after a brief Heroic BSoD when he realizes he could have easily died due to this recklessness. An even bigger example of this for Tai is a few episodes earlier where he get cocky being the only one that has a crest and forces Agumon to eat a lot of food and pushes him around threatening to find a new Digimon and being generally rude to the other kids. And then putting himself in danger in an attempt to induce Greymon's digivolution to Ultimate. Fortunately he learns some humility when his actions corrupt Greymon's Digivolution, resulting in the rogue and destructive Skullgreymon and Tai gets some character development in learning the real meaning of courage. | |

The Operators Must Be Crazy: In one of the movies, when Tai is desperate to reach any of the other kids, but the phone lines have all been tied up by Infermon, a computer virus, he reaches a phone operator over and over who keeps telling him that the lines are busy in an increasingly frazzled tone until finally screaming at him "Did you hear me?! IT'S BUSY!" After the kids first reached the Digital World, they ran into a bunch of pay phones and, overjoyed, desperately tried to call their homes. Unfortunately, when they tried, all they got were a variety of non-sequiturs from the operators up to and including a weather forecast that included "a slight chance of ice cream." | |

Lightning Bruiser: Gatomon is incredibly agile and strong, which lets her take on 5 of the partner Digimon at once with little effort, despite being about ten times smaller than any of them. She's a Champion-level Digimon and the ring on her tail is an Amplifier Artifact. It's worth noting that none of the Digimon she struck were incapacitated by her; They all were strong enough to fight off the several Devidramon that were sent to fight the chosen children after the fact. She loses this status after her Heel–Face Turn. | |

Cat Fight: Both the original series at its sequel features famous cat fights between Angewomon and LadyDevimon. Although both are among the most powerful Ultimate Digimon in the series whose signature moves are ranged attacks that blasts enemies with their respective holy and dark powers, their fights take the form of a slapping, hair-pulling cat fights. Ordinary type advantages also seem suspended for these fights, with LadyDevimon narrowly but consistently overpowering Angewomon, forcing Angewomon's allies to save her. The boys are infatuated with the fight, while Hikari cheers on Angewomon like a soccer mom. | |

Dub Name Change | |
Digimon Adventure / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: Many. Some notable ones: Chosen Children -> DigiDestined The Spanish Latin American dub keeps the term Chosen Children intact. Evolve -> Digivolve (Enforced Trope to avoid confusion with Pokémon) The names of the evolution steps: Baby I, Baby II, Child, Adult, Perfect, Ultimate > Baby, In-Training, Rookie, Champion, Ultimate, Mega. Piyomon -> Biyomon Plotmon -> Salamon Tailmon -> Gatomon Vamdemon -> Myotismon (and by extension, VenomVamdemon and BelialVamdemon-> VenomMyotismon and MaloMyotismon) AtlurKabuterimon -> MegaKabuterimon Pinocchimon -> Puppetmon Mugendramon -> Machinedramon Death Meramon -> Skull Meramon HolyAngemon -> MagnaAngemon Piemon. In the dub he's spelled "Piedmon" Pied is Old English for 'of Two Colours', like the black and white split of Piedmon's face. However the dub change is most likely a reference to The Pied Piper of Hamelin, From the Movie we have. Diablomon -> Diaboromon Omegamon -> Omnimon | |

Drama-Preserving Handicap | |
Digimon Adventure / int_efacc623 | comment |
Drama-Preserving Handicap: Arguably applies to Patamon in particular; Angemon and MagnaAngemon are each so powerful that they basically turned the tide single-handedly against the major villains of Devimon and Piedmon, so Angemon's first victory reduced him to Tokomon and Angemon kept getting knocked out during later fights so that he wouldn't be able to reach that stage again and turn the tables too soon. | |

Food Porn | |
Digimon Adventure / int_f23ad6de | comment |
Food Porn: The Digidestined are constantly discussing food. They either mention times when they wish they could have something and bring up how amazing it would be. Or if they have a chance to feast on food you can expect to hear how satisfying the experience is. | |

Evil Brit: The only character to speak with a non-American accent is the Big Bad of the fourth arc, Piedmon, who appears to spend most of his time doing a whimsical Tim Curry impression. | |

20 Minutes into the Future | |
Digimon Adventure / int_f32d85ab | comment |
20 Minutes into the Future: The day the DigiDestined first end up in the Digital World is August 1st, 1999. The episode was aired in Japan on March 7th that same year. However, it ends up subverted as the episode where the date is revealed, "Home Away from Home", aired on that exact date, effectively catching the audience up with the characters in real time. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
Digimon Adventure / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: Most first appearances of the new Big Bad serve for this, normally because they're a stage above the heroes at the time. Special mention goes to Enter The Dark Masters, which is pretty much an entire episode devoted to the Dark Masters beating the stuffing out of the Digidestined. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
Digimon Adventure / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": In the dub, it's inconsistent depending on the episode; in general it did a decent job at averting it, with a few glaring exceptions: When Myotismon claimed to "banish Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon to a dungeon in the Digital World" for disobedience. He also claimed to have "sent the Darktyrannomon back to the Digital World" after Lilymon managed to pacify the Digimon. When Machinedramon destroys WaruMonzaemon for failing, the dub gives WaruMonzaemon the line "You blasted my paw!" as we see the paw disintegrate — implying that Machinedramon only vaporized one limb and not the whole Digimon. | |

Everything Is Online | |
Digimon Adventure / int_f6507695 | comment |
Everything Is Online: Justified in that the Digital World arises from the Earth's various communications systems, so Digimon could theoretically affect all electronic systems (the Pilot Movie shows strong interference with electronics whenever a Digimon evolves or emerges). On the other hand, there's Our War Game. Diablomon was explicitly stated to exist on the Internet... so what are Ferris wheels, nuclear missiles, and supermarket scanners doing hooked up to the Internet? In 2000?! | |

Cool Big Sis: Patamon thinks of Biyomon like this, asking himself "What would Biyomon do?" when he and T.K. are stranded. Her solution, of course, wouldn't have done Patamon any good at the time. | |

The two Hagurumon working for Machinedramon fit this bill too; Machinedramon has incredible firepower and is willing to devastate his own city to get to the heroes. His gear-like minions cower before that plan, even though they aren't even the targets! | |
