Digimon Adventure 02

Daisuke and friends have been back in the real world after they saved the DigiWorld from a crisis. Missing out on the first adventure, Miyako gets to visit the DigiWorld together with her friends guided by Koushiro and Sora. Though excited about the excursion, she is abruptly confronted with a battle against Digimon Kaiser. The kids aren’t prepared for Digimon Kaiser as Daisuke is captured and Miyako is able to escape only to be left shattered by the reality of the DigiWorld.

Daisuke confronts Digimon Kaiser once again in the DigiWorld, where the latter is keeping up a hideous game. Digimon Kaiser’s Control Spire is keeping the Digimon from evolving. Two of these Digimon, Tailmon and Halesmon, find themselves in a pinch and end up resorting to the DegiMental. At the same time Hikari and Takeru’s Digivice react to the DegiMental and transform into a new type of Digivice. This allows Patamon and Tailmon to Digivolve into Pegasusmon and Nefertimon.

To control the DigiWorld, Digimon Kaiser is building Control Spires. At the same time, Taichi and the others escape from Digimon Kaiser’s prison. The kids are suspicious of the easy prison break, and their fears are confirmed when they find it to be a trap. Veemon fights alone, yet with the Control Spire installed he cannot armor Digivolve. Veemon barely escapes RedVeggiemons powerful attacks.

Digimon Kaiser is in a hurry to build a prison in the Crystal world, the icy northern region of the DigiWorld. Gomamon ends up becoming hostage to Digimon Kaiser while cover for the other Digimon, and calls for Jou’s help. Jou and the others, now in the DigiWorld, are confronted by Frigimon, a monster adequately adapted to the icy climate. But they must get to the Control Spire in the hurry!

The DigiDestined usually venture into the DigiWorld to rescue Digimon, but this time around they just wanted to picnic there, away from the Control Spire. The DigiDestined come across an old friend Mimi who has come back from America. While the group enjoys their gathering, Hawkmon and Miyako disappear, followed by Mimi. The three meet Parumon on the other side where they are attacked by the Gokimon brothers.

After trying to destroy a control spire located in a city within the DigiWorld, the group is attacked by Guardromon. The DigiDestined escape the DigiWorld through a TV set, except the device gets damaged before Hikari can getaway, and she is left alone in the DigiWorld. Takeru and Daisuke return to the DigiWorld to get their friend. They find their friend but are confronted by Andromon who has been brain-washed by Digimon Kaiser.

Daisuke sees a rival in Ken Ichijouji, as he makes a desperate tackle to stop Ken in a soccer game. The two boys make up afterwards as they recognize each other’s special ability. After the game a Control Spire suddenly appears in Death Valley. Daisuke and his friends go to check it out only to fall in Digimon Kaiser’s trap. Daisuke is furious at Digimon Kaiser as the evil emperor toys with his friends who are being held hostage. It’s then Daisuke realizes Digimon Kaiser’s scratch, the same injury Ken received during the soccer match.

It is revealed to Daisuke that Ken is in fact Digimon Kaiser. Though a boy genius in the real world, Ken had been disappointed by reality and abandoned it for the DigiWorld. Digimon Kaiser captures Agumon with his Dark Ring and forces him to dark digivolve into the uncontrollable SkullGreymon.

Using his dark power, Digimon Kaiser has transformed Agumon into SkullGreymon that destroys everything in its path, wreaking havoc on the DigiWorld. SkullGreymon is eventually captured once again by Digimon Kaiser who this time forces him to dark digivolve into MetalGreymon and attack the DigiDestined.

To release Agumon from Dark Spiral’s force, the kids confront MetalGreymon even though they are outmatched. However Daisuke and Veemon are not among them as Daisuke is too afraid to instruct Veemon to attack MetalGreymon, who is in fact Agumon. Veemon is unable to anything but to run about helplessly while MetalGreymon fires at will. Just as Patamon shields Veemon from an attack…the second Armor Digivolve occurs!

Sora immediately makes her way to the DigiWorld after receiving an SOS signal from Piyomon on her Digivice. When she and her friends pass through the other end of the DigiGate, they find themselves in a ghost town on the west side of the DigiWorld. Sora’s Digivice receives SOS signal from Piyomon. Sora is quick to go to DigiWorld together with Daisuke and friends. However at the other end of DigiGate, they find they’re in some ghost town of the West. Piyomon has been put on the wanted list as the kids confront Starmon, Deputymon and their gunfight.

Drops of water…Sounds of waves…A leaden ocean…Deserted fishing village… Is it real or just an illusion? The strange images scare Hikari, but at the same time entice her. She eventually is convinced these are calls from someone who wants her, and she is unable to ignore them. This Digimon version of dark myth tells the coming of summer, the season of ghosts and spirits. What’s waiting for Hikari at a bizarre village where a legend of ancient god lives is…!?

Miyako and friends are walking around DigiWorld in search of new DigiEgg. There’s no luck for them, but they come across a diner where they find all that they need. The diner turns out to be Digitamamon’s where Jou and Yamato worked three years ago. Digitamamon is being stubborn saying he’ll only accept US dollars as payment and almost forces Miyako and her friends to work to pay for their meals. Fortunately, Mimi and her friend are there to help. Miyako still finds Digitamamon difficult to trust.

Glinting swords. Flashing sparks. Two ninjas run like a whirlwind in a gorgeous town called Edo. Both Control Spire and Digimon Kaiser have nothing to do with a duel between them. They compete for the title of best shuriken master with all their skills. Each one’s pride is at stake on this fair fight. Shurimon’s rival Ninjamon appears!! It’s a display of ninja battle in Edo town. Will it be Shurimon who wins the title of true shuriken master?

The kids have reached an offshore oil rig while they were following a signal from a DigiEgg. Knowing by intuition that this DigiEgg belongs to him, Iori rushes to the entrance of the oil rig ahead of the others. However, there they face an attack by MegaSeadramon who has been waiting to ambush them. Although the kids manage to survive MegaSeadramon’s attack, they are shut up in the oil rig. There is only one emergency pod. Iori is forced to be the one to use it to get out. Feeling deeply responsible, he runs for help. Unfortunately, the ever-reliable Jou is in the middle of a trial exam. In order to call him out of the room, Iori has no choice but to lie. Iori is caught between responsibility for his friends and a sense of guilt. After a struggle, he finally comes to a conclusion.

A red mark in a pocket diary: "First of August. Anniversary."

That day was supposed to be another ordinary day. It turned out to be the end of ordinary life. Coincidence and necessity combine, and each child faced their destiny on this day. It was the beginning of everything, and it goes on into the future.

It’s unforgettable. We never forget our memorial day.

“It is. It’s our anniversary today.”

The ground is now covered with Control Spires.

After a long silence, Digimon Kaiser begins a serious advance in order to gain control of DigiWorld. Daisuke and friends are determined to intercept it. They stay overnight in the DigiWorld, pretending to go camping with Taichi and the other elders.

Miyako is disturbed because of the pressure of decisive battle. She tries to drive herself and acts energetically, but it only produces a great deal of noise and trouble for the others. Finally Hawkmon, who is protecting Miyako, is poisoned.

“I’m sorry. I’m not worthy of being your partner.”

A Dark experiment produces the evilest composition monster, Kimeramon.

It has Kabuterimon’s head, MetalGreymon’s hair, Greymon’s torso, Garurumon’s legs, Monochromon’s tail, Angemon and Airdramon’s wings, SkullGreymon and Kuwagamon’s arms. With the pair of arms it will be completed. And the prospect is Devimon!

In order to complete Kimeramon as an evil monster, Digimon Kaiser tries to achieve the forbidden power of Devimon. Takeru, who understands the terror of the dark force, rushes to Digimon Kaiser alone, enraged. Can Takeru stop Digimon Kaiser’s lunatic project? The battle to decide the fate of DigiWorld is about to begin.

“See? It fits perfectly. Now my original Digimon is completed!”

The evilest composition monster Kimeramon is created. Its overwhelming destructive power burns everything in its path and gradually turns DigiWorld into ruins.

In order to stop this indiscriminate attack, Daisuke and friends break into the mobile fortress with a help of Agumon and Digimons. However when they almost reach the engine room, Kimeramon again stands in their way!

Kimeramon’s devastating power drives them into a corner. Do they have any chance to win? Meanwhile, Wormmon is so worried about Ken who is being affected by the dark force that he takes an unexpected action.

“Is this what you wished for, Ken? Are you sure?!"”

With the help of the gold DigiEgg, Veemon miraculously succeed_ to Digivolve into Magnamon. Giving off dazzling light, Magnamon faces Kimeramon. However Kimeramon’s darkness is so deep it threatens to swallow even this miraculous, dazzling shine.

Though he is using up all his energy, Magnamon is driven to a corner. He is saved, however, in the nick of time by Wormmon! Wormmon dashes against Kimeramon to try to release Ken from the dark force and to try to change Ken back to his true self. Could his affection and cries reach Ken’s heart…?

“I’ll believe in Ken from now on, as I always have.”

Released from Digimon Kaiser’s menace, the DigiWorld regains its peace. Although the scars he left are seen everywhere, Digimons feel positive about the restoration. The kids help them with the restoration works using each one’s special talents. After a long interval, the DigiWorld is now a much more cheerful place.

There are two of them who are not cheerful, however: Daisuke and Veemon. Daisuke is in low spirits because Hikari looks happy with Takeru; Veemon is the same because Tailmon looks happy with Patamon. They start discussing how they can work together to make themselves look cool. And the solution they reach is to Digivolve into a Champion form!

Hoping that Hikari and Tailmon would recognize their merits, Daisuke and Veemon begin Digivolve training. For such an ulterior motive, can Veemon succeed Digivolving into UltraAngemon?

“You’ll see. I’ll Digivolve myself into UltraAngemon!”

Thanks to Daisuke and his friends, the DigiWorld regains its peace.

Meanwhile Ken Ichijouji is in a long, deep sleep since his return from DigiWorld. Even his parents' calls do not wake him. He just continues to sleep. Memories of his childhood flash through his worn-out mind like soap bubbles.

His brother is a genius and is good at anything while he himself is good for nothing. His parents’ attention is always focused on his brother. And then one day a DigiEgg appears out of the blue.

Ken keeps wandering through an endless maze in search of his heart and his true self. What is possibly going on within him?

“I’m empty, because I don’t know where my heart has gone.”

Ken Ichijouji returns to his true self by accepting his past. Then he is reunited with Wormmon. However, a strange woman appears in front of them to take away the little peace they finally were able to grasp.

Meanwhile, Iori, who’s working on the restoration of the DigiWorld, sees the scars Digimon Kaiser left everywhere and gets more angry at Ken. This anger gives Thunderballmon the chance to attack him. Iori doesn’t know what to do with his first fight against an enemy without an Evil Ring. But a mysterious warrior in green saves him from danger.

The appearance of a new enemy. Everyone's feelings are becoming more complex. With so much still shrouded in mystery, the real battle finally begins.

“Why did he help me? How come that Evil helped me?”

The mysterious Digimon that saved Iori’s life prove_ to be Stingmon, the Digivolved-self of Wormmon. Daisuke believes that Ken is penitent and makes an effort to have him join the party. However Miyako and the others express their unwillingness as they still hold some suspicion towards Ken.

It is when they receive an S.O.S. signal from Mimi in DigiWorld that Rockmon suddenly appears and begins to destroy a dam. Miyako and friends rush to DigiWorld to stop the attack but their defense isn't powerful enough to work against Rockmon. If they are to protect a village downstream, they’ve got to fight Rockmon to the death… like how Ken terminated Thunderballmon.

Miyako suffers because she can neither destroy Rockmon nor protect the dam. The fight goes on in vain, until finally she makes a discover.

All the Digimon that Ken terminate_ turns out to be Control Spires transformed by the mysterious woman. Ken apologizes to the kids for what he did as the Digimon Kaiser and leaves them. He declines Daisuke’s offer of membership so that he can atone for his sins by himself.

The truth is revealed about Ken and about the mysterious woman who turns Control Spires into Digimon. Still confused, the kids continue working on the restoration. What befalls them is another crisis that threatens the DigiWorld: a dark energy runs out of control, ready to explode! Knowing they need the Crest of Kindness to stop the explosion, Daisuke tries to contact Ken by e-mail. However he gets no answer from him.

Iori and the others aren’t able to dispel their suspicions about Ken, while Daisuke refuses to give up. Can Ken meet Daisuke’s trust? When their hearts finally link, a miraculous Digivolve occurs.

“No! He just hasn’t noticed, that’s all.”

In order to atone for his sins and restore the DigiWorld, Ken decides to go alone into a desperate battle alone prepared for death. What stops him is Daisuke’s cry: “You must live!”

Ken is then determined to live and atone for his sins for the sake of both himself and his precious friends. At that moment, Ken’s thoughts and Daisuke’s are linked and cause the D.N.A. Digivolving of ExVeemon and Stingmon. This brings the Ultimate warrior, Piledramon!

Piledramon displays awesome power in the battle against the Ultimate Okuwamon. The kids rush towards the explosion to stop the runaway dark force. Can they protect DigiWorld from this crisis? Finally, a sacred secret hidden during the adventures of Taichi and friends is revealed.

“Don’t you think it’s great? He’s our partner Digimon!”

Piledramon protects the DigiWorld from catastrophe. Daisuke and friends are in high spirits as they have been granted a new measure called D.N.A. Digivolving. But they haven’t noticed that the mysterious woman's rage has set a deadly trap to get rid of them.

Lead by an e-mail invitation from the mysterious woman, Daisuke and friends visit a strange house where the building, furniture, everything is ten times bigger than normal. Ken is also invited there. To fight it out with the mysterious woman, Daisuke and Ken venture into the house to investigate. Since Iori doesn’t like to be treated as a child, he follows them albeit with mixed feelings.

Inside the house, the three boys are attacked by a troop of Roachmons. Takeru and the girls, who are standing by outside the house, are attacked by a swarm of Flymons. Separated, the kids are forced into a tough fight. This is just a prologue of fear waiting for the kids.

“It’s reckless, really, to come - knowing it’s a trap.”

Invited by the mysterious woman, Daisuke and friends have venture into the gigantic Giga House, where they fall into a deadly trap that is far beyond anything they imagined.

Manipulating Insectoid Digimon freely, the mysterious woman drives the kids into a corner. What's worse, Digmon and Stingmon fall into her hands and attack ExVeemon. His partner taken away, Iori becomes distraught. His desperate cries cannot reach Digmon.

Separated from partner Digimon and caught in a spider’s web, Daisuke and friends are threatened by the venomous fangs of Dokugumon. Can they get out of this desperate situation? The key for a turnabout is in Miyako’s program.

“Stop it, Digmon! Wake up, please!”

The kids break through Arukenimon’s trap with incredible teamwork. Although Iori and Ken respect each other’s abilities, both of them still harbor hard feelings. Iori isn’t able to forgive Ken for what he did as Digimon Kaiser, while Ken decides to leave the party for fear of disrupting the teamwork. Daisuke and Miyako make efforts to make them get along well with each other, but it isn’t an easy task.

Meanwhile Arukenimon, who challenged the kids to the final battle and was defeated, is enraged. She tries to produce an Ultimate evil Digimon. Uniting a mass of Control Spires and pouring inexhaustible dark energy into it, she succeeds in creating a Digimon - named BlackWarGreymon!

He matches WarGreymon in energy. The strongest warrior, who saved the DigiDestined many times, now stands in front of them as the worst barrier to face. Now that the kids are completely out of step, could there be a way to stop his overwhelming energy?

“Digital monster of menace who is to beat the DigiDestined and ruin DigiWorld… arise now!”

Takeru and Iori finally succeeded in making their partners Jogress Digivolve. Paildramon, Silphymon and Shakkoumon are now Jogress Digivolved. They stand between BlackWarGreymon and the last Holy Stone.

The children give their all to protect the DigiWorld. But BlackWarGreymon is seeking the meaning for his existence, and doesn’t budge an inch. He goes down wounded, but tenaciously gets up each time, slowly but surely overwhelming the children. Sabotage from Arukenimon and Mummymon drives them into a corner.

Will they succeed in protecting the last Holy Stone and the DigiWorld? Who is the mysterious Digimon BlackWarGreymon seeks so desperately? The hidden truth of the DigiWorld is revealed at last.

“I should destroy Dark Tower! Then I’ll find the answer!”

With the help of Qinglongmon, the DigiWorld has returned from the brink of collapse. The children now know their mission, and with renewed resolve, begin destroying Dark Towers one after another. And one day, when the DigiWorld almost regains its peace…

Ken timidly holds out some envelopes as Wormmon urges him on. Inside are invitations for a Christmas party at his house. Daisuke, Miyako, Takeru, Hikari and Iori are willing to accept the invitations despite Ken’s worries. The streets of Odaiba are now decorated for Christmas. Everyone is expecting a joyful holy night.

And at last, it’s Christmas Eve. The children open the DigiGate before heading to Ken’s house. They’ve been secretly planning to send presents to Taichi and friends in thanks for their help. And those presents are…

“Hehe…Did you like it?”

Oikawa has finally obtained the flowers of darkness. BlackWarGreymon was fatally wounded by enormous Dark Power , but used all his strength to seal the gate to the DigiWorld and shatter Oikawa’s plans.

The children with the Seeds of Darkness gather one by one at Hikarigaoka Park on New Year’s Eve. At long last, Oikawa is on the verge of realizing his dream: to use the power of the Seeds of Darkness to go to the DigiWorld.

Although Daisuke and friends are overwhelmed by Oikawa’s bizarre intensity, they watch for a chance to take the children back. But the gate which BlackWarGreymon sealed, which shouldn’t possibly be able open again, opens before their eyes.

Daisuke and his friends are stunned, but Oikawa feels like a child again, and takes the other children through the gate with him. On the other side of the gate, Oikawa finds not the DigiWorld he’s been dreaming of for so long, but a dreadful world where terror and despair reign.

At last, all the secrets are revealed. Who is the real enemy who appears before Daisuke and friends? The king of darkness is reborn, bringing endless terror with him.

“Three years ago, I hunted for a body that my data could survive inside.”

At last, the final enemy, MaloMyotismon, has appeared. The kids freeze with terror before his cruelty and overwhelming strength. Only Daisuke dares to stand face to face with MalMyotismon.

Thought the situation seems hopeless, Daisuke believes in himself and Ex-Veemon and fights on. His belief makes Ex-Veemon stronger, until finally Ex-Veemon’s attacks begin to damage MaloMyotismon. But just as Malomyotismon is about to be defeated, he suddenly attacks the kids with a dazzling light.

Enveloped in the light, all of the children lose consciousness. When they come to, they each find themselves in the world they had been wishing for.

These dream worlds tempt the children subtly. Will they abandon their courage to fight? In this critical moment, Daisuke’s zeal brings about a miracle.

“There’s only one thing I want in life right now, MaloMyotismon! And that’s to destroy you!”

Three years has past from Taichi’s adventure, but a new virus arrives in the peaceful DigiWorld. Due to the virus’ special power, Agumon and others can’t evolve. At the time, Veemon, one of the new type Digimon who is able to evolve into many types of Digimon using a Digi-Egg. Newcomer Hikari is partnered with Veemon, and along with her friends Takeru and Daisuke they venture into the DigiWorld.
