Reserving this page for the Digimon Animation memorial book that is supposedly meant to come out on February 23rd (February 25th for online stores). I plan to fill this page up with translated info from the book that I think is new or interesting, with scanned images of only specific parts of the book if I think a scan is necessary. Obviously I won’t be scanning the entire book.

Main characters
– Yagami Taichi
=The active type who brims with courage=
A cheerful and positive 5th grade boy in Odaiba elementary school. He appears to move with reckless abandon, but he actually does take in his surroundings and he takes good care of his juniors in the soccer club. He can be a bit insensitive, but he acts as a reliable older brother figure to Koushiro and Takeru. If he doesn’t know/understand something, he acts while he tries to figure it out; ever since they come to File Island, this active characteristic of him is what makes him the one who pulls the rest of the children along. After he learns that the Digital World is made up of data, he begins to feel as if he is inside a video game and takes dangerous actions. But once realizing that, despite being data, he cannot start over like in reality if something were to happen to him, his desire to win over his fear and his mistakes leads him to learn what true courage is.

– Agumon
=The cheerful and naughty Dinosaur Digimon=
=Child/Vaccine/Reptile=
Taichi’s partner. With three sharp claws on each hand, his attitude of rushing to attack extremely strong enemies without fear comes from his partner. His appetite as well can be pretty ferocious. There are many times when he and Taichi both share their opinions to each other frankly, but due to his cheerful and honest personality, there are very little times when they end up fighting. His sense of justice is strong, and he is a reliable partner who evolves right away to protect Taichi when the situation looks grim. After his dark evolution to SkullGreymon, he feels at unease about evolution just like Taichi does, preventing him from even evolving into Greymon. However, after his training under Piccolomon, he learns the guts to challenge himself over and over again without fear of failure.
Baby Flame = Agumon’s special technique. He breathes out a ball of fire from his mouth. If he holds back from full power, he can even use it to light a campfire.

=Passionate friendship hiding behind a cool face=
5th grader in Odaiba elementary school. He joins the children’s camp with his younger brother Takeru. With his cool personality, he does not make attempts to hang out with anyone other than Takeru, but he is more considerate than anyone by keeping an eye on everyone’s conditions of fatigue and nerves. There are many times when he is the one who prevents Taichi from trying to tackle everything from the front. He can be pretty overprotective of Takeru, and considers it his job to protect Takeru because “he can’t do anything by himself.” During their fight with the Dark Masters, seeing Takeru’s growth causes him to lose footing on his identity, but through his clash with Taichi and his connection with Gabumon, he takes another look at himself and learns the meaning of true friendship: that there are times when you compensate for the weakness of others and vice-versa.

=The level-headed one who pulls things together=
5th grader in Odaiba elementary school. She is a member of the soccer club just like Taichi. While a strong-willed girl who is powerful enough to play 2-top with Taichi as the team’s striker, she is also a sensible, level-headed person who is thoughtful about the smallest details. She takes good care of the younger children in the group, like Mimi, Takeru, and Hikari, and she is loved by them as a kind older sister. On the other hand, she also has a delicate side to her and often keeps her troubles to herself. Her mother once stopped her from participating in a soccer match, and Sora misunderstood her actions by thinking that her mother only cared about her being the successor of the family’s iemoto tradition. However, while she was trying to stop an injured Piyomon from joining a fight, she realized how her mother must have felt when she had stopped Sora.

=A brainiac who loves to immerse himself in research=
4th grader in Odaiba elementary school. To Taichi and Sora, he is also their junior in the soccer club. Although normally a polite boy, once his curiosity gets a hold of him he pursues it without being considerate of those around him. He is good at computers, even bringing his laptop to camp, which in the end became useful in revealing the truth of the Digimon world. He learned by accident that he is an adopted child and was troubled over his relationship with his parents, who were thinking of keeping this quiet from him until he became an adult. When Vamdemon isolated Odaiba, his parents told him the truth themselves for the first time, and he once more felt bonded to them as his real parents, as they had raised him as their own son.

=A pure-hearted girl with a free spirit=
4th grader in Odaiba Elementary. She moves at her own pace and has a bit of a selfish side to her, but because of her honest and cheerful personality, she cannot be hated for this. For some reason, she is particularly well-liked by dirty types of Digimon, like Numemon and Sukamon. She is kind at heart, and after the Dark Masters appear she could no longer stand that a large number of Digimon were giving up their own lives to protect them and so decides to leave the group temporarily. However, upon accepting the death of Leomon, who had died protecting her from MetalEtemon, she decides to fight the Dark Masters so that he can once again be born in the Village of Beginnings. Starting with Ogremon, she leads a crowd of Digimon towards the top of Spiral Mountain.

He is so lovey-dovey with his wife Satoe that even Mimi can’t help but roll her eyes. His wife’s homemade cooking is a feast to his senses.

=Child/ Data/ Plant type=
Mimi’s Digimon. A plant-type Digimon, she can unleash many different kinds of smells from the flower on top of her head. She can also suck up nourishment from the ground and perform photosynthesis. Although a bit timid at certain times, she is mainly a kind, gentle Digimon who loves cute and fashionable things just like Mimi. Her feelings are easily in sympathy with Mimi’s, so whenever Mimi cries, she also cries, and whenever Mimi laughs, she also laughs. When Mimi was saddened by the sacrifices the Digimon made for them and left the group, she was prevented from fighting, but upon seeing Leomon fight hard to protect them, she begs Mimi to let her fight, too.

Her attack is unleashing the thorns on her body at the enemy, “Chiku Chiku Bang Bang.”
– Lilimon
=Perfect / Data / Fairy type=
The Perfect Level that is born out of the flower on top of Togemon’s head. When Vamdemon’s army attacks and drags Mimi’s family and the people of Odaiba into it, Mimi’s tears of being unable to forgive that lead the way towards her super-evolution. She has a form similar to that of a human girl, and the four wings on her back allow her to fly the skies freely. The “Flower Necklace” she can make appear from air can make bad viruses in a rampaging Digimon disappear.

– Kido Jyou
=Goes his own path in all seriousness=
6th grader in Odaiba elementary school. Since he planned on taking the entrance exam for a private middle school, he originally didn’t want to go to camp. A serious boy with a strong sense of responsibility, he worked hard as the oldest in the group to bring everyone back to their world safely, but because of his faintheartedness and lack of self-confidence he isn’t all that reliable. Because he is too honest, he often makes unnecessary remarks that discourage everyone. He aims to be a doctor because his dad tells him to, but his brother worries that it may not be the right career choice for Jyou since he faints at the sight of blood. But while caring for the injured Ogremon on Spiral Mountain, he awakens to the simple feeling that he wishes to help those in need before him.

=A strong heart with an innocent smile=
2nd grader in Kawada elementary school. He is Yamato’s younger brother, but because of their parents’ divorce, he currently lives only with their mother. Because he is the youngest among the Chosen Children, he is treated with great care among the group and he himself has a very friendly and innocent personality. He can be somewhat of a crybaby, but he has shown times when he volunteered himself to stay up as guard for the night or acted as a diligent worker who wouldn’t allow others to favor him with kindness. Due to memories of his parents’ divorce, he hates seeing two people he loves fight each other. Although small, his sense of justice is very strong and there are some cases when this quality appears almost to the point of stubbornness. When Hikari, who is the same age as him, joins their group, he grows even tougher and gains a strong heart that refuses to give up under any circumstances.

When Taichi is blown back towards Tokyo along with Koromon after their fight with Etemon, she acts as if she had once met Koromon, confusing the two. The truth turns out to be that 4 years ago when Digimon appeared in the real world, she and Taichi encounter Koromon for the first time, but Hikari is the only one who remembers it clearly. She becomes known as the eighth Chosen Children before long, partnering with Tailmon, and joining the rest of the children to their adventures back in the Digital World. Because she had recently gotten over an illness, she gives off the impression that she is very sickly throughout the series, but she is actually a cheerful and bright girl. That strength of hers is shown when she would not give in to fear even in front of Vamdemon.

His Digimentals are “Courage,” “Friendship,” and at one point, “Miracles.” His Jogress partner is Ichijouji Ken. Rather than think first, he is the　reckless, hot-blooded type who acts with all of his power. He has a strong heart that refuses to ever give up, and he is very loyal to his friends. Daisuke was the first to accept Ken, who was once their enemy, into their group. In the movie, he also shows kindness when he sheds tears for Wallace whom he had only met recently. At school, he is in the same A-class with Takeru and Hikari. Due to his attraction for Hikari, he views Takeru as a tough rival. A soccer boy, he has a senpai-kouhai relationship with Taichi in the soccer club. His dream is to become the world’s best ramen shop owner.

His father who was a policeman died 3 years ago, so his grandfather Chikara raised him in his father’s place. While always self-composed and hard on himself, he is clumsy at expressing himself as a child. He also does not like lies. Because of his diligence and strong sense of responsibility, he is not all that flexible and was unable to forgive Ken for being the Digimon Kaiser for some time. Before long, he learns about the relationship between his father and Oikawa, the man who threatens the Digital World.

His Digivice changes into the green D-3 from the power of his Digimental of Hope. Perhaps due to his experiences in the adventure at a young age, he is very calm and composed than others his own age; but when he came near to losing Patamon, he showed excessive fear. Normally he is a quiet and kind-hearted boy, but his hatred for the “darkness” that had once taken Angemon’s life is stronger than anyone else’s.

As ruler of the “light” that points towards “evolution” in the Digital World, she is a special existence among the children. In elementary school, she is in the same Class 5-A as Daisuke and Takeru. She smoothly avoids the feelings of affection that Daisuke directs at her, showing an aspect of her befitting a girl of her age. However, her emotional dependence on her brother Taichi is still as strong as ever.

At the time, he did not show himself at night, but after episode 9 when his identity is revealed, he leaves the real world to reside in the Digital World. Through repeated experiments on multiple Digimon, he develops the Evil Spiral that allows him to evolve Digimon to Perfect Level without the use of a Crest and control them. Before long, his twisted talents create the fused monster Chimeramon using the fearsome Devimon’s data as its base.

However, he was in truth the Digimon Kaiser, cruel tyrant of the Digital World. His D-3 color is black. While there is a time he is troubled over the weight of his sins and acts apart from the children, his friendship with Daisuke grows. As the Chosen Child of “Kindness,” he fights for the Digital World and the Digimon.

— Parents (unnamed)
Ken’s parents. They put all of their attention on Ken’s genius older brother Osamu, neglecting to show as much care to the young Ken. When Ken lost his heart as the Digimon Kaiser and fell into a deep sleep, his parents realize for the first time that their way of raising their children had distorted their sons’ hearts. His father works at a computer company. His mother’s specialty dish is hamburgers. The family lives in room 303 in the “Tamachi T.M. Mansion” condo in Tamachi.
— Ichijouji brothers
Ken once had an older brother Osamu, who was three years older than him. While Osamu was Ken’s role model, Osamu was also so superior in everything that he was also an object of envy. His genius older brother monopolized their parents love and the admiration of everyone around them. Ken himself had nothing. While he came to think of himself in this way, a Digivice appeared before the two one day. Ken takes the Digivice in hand and catches a glimpse of the Digital World. Ken was a Chosen Child. But jealous of this, Osamu takes the Digivice from him. Ken wishes for his brother to disappear. Two years from now, as if granting that wish, Osamu is killed in a car accident. His brother died just as he wished. At his funeral, Oikawa learns of Ken and skillfully manipulates Ken’s heart, inviting him to the sea of darkness.

— Yagami Taichi
Advanced into Odaiba middle school from elementary. 14 years old, 8th grader. He’s the ace of the school soccer club. Through his adventures in 1999 and growth from three years, he now has a grasp of making level-headed decisions. His ability as leader of the children has also been refined. He gives the goggles he cherished along with “courage” to Daisuke. Now that he’s in middle school, he has his own room.

— Ishida Yamato
8th grader in Odaiba middle school. 14 years old. He’s grown out his hair and is active in a band. The “TEEN-AGE WOLVES” group that he formed with his friends is popular enough to be broadcast on TV as a Christmas event. Starting with Daisuke’s older sister, Jun, he is supported by many fans. He is secretly happy about his younger brother Takeru living closer. On August 1st that comes once a year, he invited Takeru to the Ishida residence and treated him to a special dinner.

—— Yamato’s father
Fuji TV’s capable director. Even this time, he understands the situation on the Digimon and the children, and helps when they need it.

— Takenouchi Sora
8th grader in Odaiba middle school. 14 years old. After going into middle school, she joined the tennis club. Her experiences in the adventure have taught her to have a wider world view, and she has begun to challenge herself to become more feminine. Her relationship with her mother has gotten very good, and now she is learning flower-arranging and tennis from her. Some time immediately after that, she begins to have feelings for Yamato and the two of them start going out around Christmas. In Russia, she and Miyako make a lot of effort together in order to protect borscht.
—— Summer clothes
—— Winter clothes
—— Takenouchi Haruhiko
Sora’s father, a professor who teaches folkloristics at Tokyo University. His research takes him all over the world, and currently he is staying in Kyoto. Feeling that the spirits in Japanese folklore such as the kitsune and tanuki are similar to Digimon, not only is he grateful to the Digimon for aiding in his daughter’s growth, but he also appears to have an interest in the Digimon themselves. After meeting Miyako by coincidence while she is on a school trip, he told her about the four holy beasts that protected Kyoto from every direction. He also shows himself to be a somewhat comical person when he responds with an enthusiastic “Bingo!”
—— Takenouchi parents
Haruhiko is almost never at home due to his immersion in his research, while the mother is busy upholding the iemoto tradition. As a result, they are deeply grateful to the Digimon for keeping their family together.

— Izumi Koushiro
7th grader in Odaiba middle school. 13 years old. In both elementary and middle school, he is a member of the computer club. Since a computer is the basic necessity to open the Digital Gate, Daisuke and the others often rely on him. His inquisitive nature is the same as always, and his interest in the Digital World is deeper than anyone else’s. After Ken joins their group, he would often ask questions and listen to Ken’s stories. By doing such activities as developing a program that would detect the Digital Gate and taking the role of staff officer in strategical meetings, he acts as the brains of the group for the children.
—— Summer clothes
—— Winter clothes
—— Koushiro’s parents
Koushiro’s adopted parents, whose bond with him is deeper than if they were his real parents. They also get along well with Tentomon.

— Tachikawa Mimi
7th grade. 13 years old. Because of her father’s work, the three-person family move to New York. She returns once to Japan to go to her (male) cousin’s wedding, but every time she makes an appearance, one can see that both her hair style and fashion sense make big changes. Her laid-back and free-spirited personality is the same as when she was younger, but her selfish actions have decreased. In New York, she is friends with Michael and other children who have Digimon partners.
—— Winter clothes
—— Mimi’s parents
Mimi’s eccentric parents are still as lovey-dovey as ever. What job her father, Keisuke, has in New York is a mystery.
[Includes a fashion show page of Mimi’s different hair styles and clothes]

9th grader. 15 years old. As he is aiming to become a doctor, he alone in the group went to a private middle school. He appears to go to juku every day, and spends most of his time studying. Nevertheless, because he is one of the Chosen Children, he automatically goes running to help Gomamon and his friends when they are in trouble. His personality is even more serious and diligent than before, and he now gives off a more mature aura.
—— Summer clothes

Due to his tanned skin, sparkling white teeth, and pleasant smile, Ruki sarcastically describes him to be releasing “the perfect sparkling aura,” and his actions show beyond the shadow of a doubt to be filled with nothing but friendship and good intentions. His abilities are quite high, and he is able to use the Device card that only the truly strong Tamer is said to be able to master. After he returns to the Real World with Takato and the others, he goes back to his home in Kyushu temporarily, until the appearance of the D-Reaper in Tokyo prompts him to come running back.

Main characters
– Kanbara Takuya
=The hot blooded boy with flaming courage=
A fifth grader who lives in Jiyuugaoka. By receiving a message on a cell phone titled “A game that will decide your future,” he enters into a journey to the Digital World. After obtaining the spirit of Agnimon, one of the 10 Legendary Warriors, at the Flame Terminal, he becomes the first among the children to evolve into a Digimon. At home, he is always having to look after his younger brother, and he is the older brother type who always thinks about his friends before himself. His sense of justice is strong, and when he hears a voice calling for help, whether it is his friends or Digimon, he cannot ignore it. Because of that, he naturally ends up taking up the leadership position in the group.
— Warrior of Fire, Agnimon
The form that Takuya evolves into using the power of the Human Spirit of Flame. With such attacks as Salamander Break (enveloping his entire body in flames before spinning furiously and kicking out), Fire Darts (unleashing fire arrows), and Burning Salamander (punching out with fists as both arms spit out fire), he is able to use a diverse number of techniques that combine the power of fire with Oriental martial arts.
Human Spirit of Flame = Found at the Flame Terminal, where Takuya and the others first arrive in the Digital World. The spirit is protected by blue flames that reject everyone except the chosen one.

– Minamoto Kouji
=The lone wolf who gives off a cool light=
A boy who rode on the same train as Takuya, heading for Shibuya. 5th grader. He does not say much and has a cool personality, never bothering himself with strangers. He had been unable to open himself up to his stepmother for a long time, but recently began thinking about changing his attitude towards her on the anniversary of her and his father’s wedding day. It was during this time that he receives a message about “A game that will decide his future,” along with another message that is sent only to him claiming that by going to the Digital World, he will discover the secrets that have been imposed upon him. Perhaps because he has been raised as an only child, he shows himself at a loss on how to handle younger children such as Tomoki, but he learns to naturally care for others by following Takuya’s example. His ability to make calm and rational decisions is the best among the children, and even though he is sometimes at odds with Takuya, he protects his friends from danger. When he at last meets his older twin brother, Kouichi, after having been separated at birth, he learns the true meaning behind his journey.

=The rightful darkness that supports the light=
The true identity of the warrior of darkness, Duskmon, who appeared before Takuya and the others as a servant of Cherubimon. He is Kouji’s older twin brother, but their parents divorced when they were at a young age and the two were separated. After finding out from his grandmother at her sickbed that he had a brother, he grows interested in meeting Kouji, whom he had not seen before. However, when he does, he gradually starts harboring feelings of resentment, for Kouji appeared to live a life that lacked nothing while Kouichi and his mother were badly off. These dark feelings are what Cherubimon manipulates to use him. Once he regains his memories and emotions as Kouichi, the guilt he feels from his actions prevent him from opening up to Kouji, but when he faces the darkness that is within his own heart, he gains the true Spirits of darkness. As a newly born Warrior of Darkness, he chooses to fight alongside Kouji.

=The best fighter in Japan, who is beyond both calculation and common sense=
8th grader in a private school, Ohtori Academy. 14 years old. Just like his nickname “the best fighter in Japan” states, he spent each day from dawn until dusk fighting with his fists until one day he just happens to meet Agumon, who had escaped from DATS. After an all-out fist fight, the two of them make a pledge to be each other’s spiritual brother. This soon leads to him joining DATS. It was obvious at first that he preferred doing things his own way and he was vehemently against Tohma’s way, but before long they began to understand one another. In contrast to his wild personality, his consideration for family and friends is deeper than the average person, and he even takes good care of those who had only recently become his friend. Also, he does not hesitate to put his own self in danger in order to help them. His actions, which are unpredictable and lack common sense, often cause teamwork to fall apart, but there were also many times when his actions broke through a wall for them to keep moving forward. During the fight between the Digital World and the human world, he had developed greatly as a human being. After all of the battles were over, he heads to the Digital World to help rebuild it. His birthday is April 2nd. Blood type B.

=Elite fighter with emphasis on theory and data=
An elite team member who returned home to Japan after being dispatched from DATS EU headquarters. A genius who graduated head of his class at the age of 13 from Stockholm Royal Medical School, and with his brilliant mind developed the Digimon transmission device used by headquarters. Not only is he intelligent, but he is also excellent at sports, particularly in boxing where not even an Olympic champion could beat him. He is even able to K.O. Masaru easily. Although he has the blood of the noble Norstein family from Austria, his mother is Japanese and not of nobility, so he was not accepted as a rightful successor and grew up in Japan with his mother. After his mother’s death, the Norstein family takes him in, but he detests his father Franz for leaving them. Because he and Masaru are polar opposites in every way, they fought over every possible thing, but through many battles, they accepted each other and became good partners. After their battle is over, he wins the Nobel Prize for medicine five years later at age 19.

Although born into a noble family, his father was forbidden from marrying his mother and so Tohma was unable to return to the Norstein family and lived instead with his mother in Japan. Living with his mother was a tranquil life for the young Tohma, but it did not last long.

=The kind and strong red flower of DATS=
The only woman among DATS active-working members. At age 18, she is the oldest among the three and perhaps because of that, she appears to be the closest to common sense compared to the other two. She does her work seriously, but as she is often turned this way and that by Masaru and Tohma’s actions, she almost always finds herself confronting an unexpected situation. Whispering “This is the worst” has become her favorite phrase. Although she has a hard-working personality, Lalamon exposes a messy side to her personal life, saying that “she doesn’t clean her room,” “she doesn’t fold her laundry,” and “she has bad sleeping form.” When she was a child, she formed a complex by comparing herself to her talented older sisters, and she lost her self-confidence. It was her first meeting with Lalamon that she was able to begin recovering from her dejection. It was also Lalamon’s presence that was able to help her get back on her feet when she grew faint-hearted when facing a battle in the Digital World. Her favorite foods are Musashiya’s strawberry mille-feuille and Yokonari’s coffee jelly. After the battle was over, she becomes a policewoman and works as Satsuma’s subordinate.

=A young boy raised as a Digimon, and holds a strong hatred for humans=
A young boy who Masaru and the others first meet in the Digital World. He has immense hatred for humans and fights against Masaru and co. many times. Although he identifies himself as a Digimon, he is actually a human whose name is Noguchi Ikuto. Born as the only son of the Noguchi couple, who are researchers of super-spacetime, he was sucked into a Digital Gate that suddenly opened within the research room of their home when he was a baby, leaving his whereabouts unknown. Lost in the Digital World, he was found and raised by Yukidarumon, but when Yukidarumon is killed by humans, he grows to hate them viciously. Following in allegiance with Mercurimon, who also felt hostility to humans, Ikuto fights using the boomerang as his weapon. That Mercurimon gives him his Digivice made by Daimon Suguru. After learning of his origins and returning to the human world, he is still unable to accept his circumstances, but after meeting his real parents his heart gradually shifts and he becomes a reliable comrade who fights the real enemy alongside Masaru and co. Five years later, after the battle is over, he goes to the same middle school as Chika.

Story guide
Digimon Movie 08 – “Digimon Savers kyuukyoku pawaa! burst mode hatsudou!!”
Database

■ Special contents
WE LOVE DIGIMON MUSIC!! Digimon Music Museum!!
DVD chronicle
Special interview
– Seki Hiromi (Producer) x Kakudou Hiroyuki (Series director) x Yukio Kaizawa (Series director)
The beginning
— First, please tell us how the anime process got started.
Seki: It was originally a project that Bandai-san threw at Toei Animation. They wanted to turn the the “Digital Monster” mobile game for boys that had been shaped from the tamagotchi into an animation. In order to set that up, blah, blah, is how things first started. However, at that point we did have the “evolution” component but no other characters beyond the monsters that are found in the mobile game. They didn’t speak words and there was no story either.
— How did things flesh out from there?
— How did Kakudou-san end up getting involved?
— Was it decided for the TV series and movie to be set up at the same time?
— Were the basic contents decided at that point?
The Chosen Children
— How did 7 characters end up being the regulars?
— By the way, it’s also been said that you like writing up details about the families.
— The family situations surrounding the children makes one feel good to look at.
Enjoying location hunting
— It’s in the Tokyo arc that families are seen being involved.
— Having the setting take place in a specific area “Odaiba” is also unique.
— Was it to act as a contrast to the Digital World?
— The newly constructed office building of Fuji TV was destroyed.
— Was there anything during location hunting that left an impression on you?
— Did you frequently go location hunting?
The second series 3 years later
— The series began with the idea that it would run for a year, did it?
— When was the second season decided?
— Is that also why the Digimon Kaiser was introduced as a new element?
— A glimpse of that is seen in the CD dramas and novels.
— It certainly does feel connected from the movies.
— The relationship between the real world and the Digital World changes between the first and second series.
— The flow of time between broadcast was synchronized with the real seasons, so it was unique in that it felt like it was really taking place.
— Was the two series as a memoir of Takeru determined from the beginning?
From “partners” to “friends”
— The third series isn’t a continuation, but an entirely new series.
— “Tamers” became a series that conspicuously depict realism.
— Terriermon had a particular atmosphere about him.
— The series compositor, Konaka (Chiaki)-san wrote an episode in “02”.
— The idea of Digimon and children fusing together was innovative.
The visual of the Digital World
— The format of the Digital World itself was reformed.
— Did Kakudou-san make all of them without pay?
— Did you do the armor evolutions as well?
The fourth series is “to choose”.
— How was the course of action for the fourth series decided?
— The idea of not having Digimon partners was also innovative.
— The fact that one “must make their own decision” was emphasized in the very first episode.
— Was it decided in the beginning that they would not appear until the end?
— Kakudou-san has acted as episode director in series 3 and 4.
— Regardless that the anime series was an original story, “X-Evolution” is a “Digital Monster” movie in the truest sense.
What Digimon doesn’t lack is music.
— When we think of Digimon, the impression of “evolution music” is strong.
— It was a surprise that “brave heart” also played during “02”.
— If you include the single maxis, the total comes out to around 130.
— It got very busy around “02”.
— Holding a live concert at Zepp Tokyo.
— The CD dramas include some information that is quite worth listening to.
— There was even an episode involving 9/11.
Looking back after 10 years
— Now looking back after 10 years, what is “Digimon” to you?
— Last of all is a message to the fans from Seki-san.

Digimon index

02/27/10 – If you didn’t see your favorite character’s name in the table of contents, don’t worry. Everyone is in this book. I really recommend that everyone buys this book only because of the pictures in them. None are colored or new, but you get to see most of the original lineart for all characters/settings. If you ever wondered how that character looked front and back for fanart/cosplay purposes, this book is your encyclopedia. The descriptions that come with them are nothing new as far as I’ve read so far, though… they only describe the character as you had already seen them in the anime. Eh, since this blog isn’t to review the item though, I’ll stop there.
And no (since this seems to be a hot topic), sorry, there is no confirmation on Takeru/Hikari coupling for Zero Two — the official couples are Sora/Yamato and Miyako/Ken. That’s it! The “Column” pages for this book are only one page and give the minimum of information.
Because it is both a 380-ish page book and I have exams coming up this week, I’ll be updating this page pretty slowly during the first week of March. I think I’ll start with the interview first.

This scan really has no value; it’s not even a good one. I just like this image.

A time for rest, which they had for a long time coming. How does everyone spend it? Let’s take a peek at how each child uses their peaceful moment with their partners!!

A dream match realized!!

Destined rivals, Daisuke and Ken. Each of them welcomed Digimon as members to strengthen their soccer teams, and within the large crowd of spectators that watched attentively, the match finally began with the kick-off!
At the same time the whistle blew, Ken set off with an exquisite dribble. It was a personal technique that put the entire Daisuke Team at his mercy!
Daisuke: !? He’s done it now!!
V-mon: Are you okay, Daisuke?!
Ken: All right, it’s clear all the way to the front of the goal!
Ken centered the ball from the right side.
Ken: Go!!
Ebidramon (Ken Team’s forward) flopped around on its back in front of the goal…
Ken: !?
Guardromon (Daisuke Team’s goalkeeper) calmly caught the ball. He gave it a great, big kick towards the forward defense!
Daisuke: Time to counter attack! Bring the ball up, V-mon!!
V-mon: Leave it to me, Daisuke!
With an agile one-two, Daisuke and V-mon slipped through the Ken Team defenders. The last player blocking their way… was Ken, who had run all the way back there.
Daisuke made a flash of eye contact with V-mon. Gaining speed, he broke past Ken and shot!
Ken: At this angle… it’ll miss!!
But just at that moment, V-mon dove in with a head butt! Goal!!
Daisuke: All right! That was nothing!!
V-mon: We did it, Daisuke!!
Ken was on his knees, pounding the ground with a fist in frustration.
Ken: Why does my team only have Ocean type Digimon…
Stingmon: Don’t give up, Ken-chan!!
You… If you took the time to evolve, you could at least join my team instead of flying in the air and cheering for me, Ken thought.

Siesta Time after school?!

It happened when school was finished for the day and the setting sun shone brightly in the sky. Takeru and the others decided to take a nap on the bank next to the road they walked home on. Patamon lay down on top of Takeru’s hat, which he had taken off and put next to him on the grass, and was looking up at the sky before he realized that everyone had fallen asleep. And yet, for some reason, he could hear a crunching noise nearby.
Patamon looked over and to the left of Takeru’s body to see Agumon eating shortbread cookies. Suddenly, Patamon’s own stomach rumbled. Without saying a word, Agumon looked at him and held out a shortbread cookie. Moving a little forward, Patamon reached out and took the cookie, then moved back to his original place and took a bite. As he chewed, Agumon held out another cookie.
This exchange happened over and over until Patamon began feeling that moving back and forth was a waste of effort. Patamon began to think. What place is there that would not only allow him to take cookies without having to move, but would also be comfortable to sit on?
(How about on top of Takeru’s belly!?)
Patamon climbed on top of Takeru’s stomach and accepted the next cookie, crunching on it hurriedly. Seeing Patamon like this filled Agumon with much amusement, and he continued to silently offer his shortbread cookies one after the other to Patamon, as if he were serving wanko soba [Noodles that are served repeatedly one spoonful a dish].
Their movements gradually grew faster and more intense. Patamon’s violent shifting put pressure on Takeru’s stomach… but neither of them noticed as Takeru’s expression grew more and more anguished. The two of them ate their cookies in earnest.
About one hour passed…
Refreshed from their nap, the group cheerfully started to head home again, but Takeru was the only one among them who looked ill. The truth is, he had woken when Patamon had first started his strange game, and had known about it all along. But as he watched Patamon’s joyful, shy smile and smelled the sweet scent of his breath, Takeru could not tell him this.
Instead, he gave a long and heavy sigh. In any case, he thought, I’ll get home as fast as I can and have a proper nap this time.

Armadimon in Nagoya!!

Armadimon and Iori arrived in Nagoya for a trip. Koushiro and Tentomon went along with them as their guardians. Armadimon wasted no time in stuffing himself with Nagoya’s famous foods — kishimen, miso-katsu, tenmusu, uirou, etc.
Armadimon: Waah, this is paradise. Nagoya is a great place just like I always thought dagya~
Iori: A–Armadimon? You’re eating a bit too much!
Armadimon: What do you think you’re sayin’? There’s a mountain of delicious food here! If I don’t eat it all before we go home, it’ll be considered rude dagya!
Iori: But you should be considerate about Koushiro-san, who is buying all of that food for you! I’m really sorry about this, Koushiro-san…
Koushiro: Ha… ha ha. No, it’s all right, don’t worry about it. I’m actually more concerned about that one over there.
Iori: Eh? Oh… that one, huh?
“That one”… Now that they mentioned it, a rather loud and excited voice could be heard…
Tentomon: Uwah~ This is amazing! Wah, wah, what is this?! Uwaaah! All right, time for a commemorative picture. One, two, three, Petit Thunder!! Wow, I’m so glad I brought a camera along! Come on, Koushiro-han, come over here and Petit Thunder with me! Ah, I see something else that’s really cool over there! Whoaaaa, that’s…! Koushiro-han, I’m going to go get that!
Koushiro: O–Okay. Ha… ha ha ha ha ha. Haa…
Armadimon: Tentomon sure is in high spirits today gya. Iori and Armadimon, instead of making those drawn faces, why don’t you try eating with me? It’ll relax you both dagya! Ahh, this tastes so good~
The neverending eater Armadimon, and the neverending ball of peppy Tentomon. Koushiro and Iori, both carrying a trace of worry about the future of their lives, continued on their journey.
Armadimon: Alright, tomorrow we’re hitting Osaka dagya!
Koushiro: Wha–?!

A massive breakdown through cake making?!

Hikari was being taught how to make a cake from Sora, and once all of their members were there, they began their lesson immediately.
Hikari: Sora-san, what do I do next?
Sora: Next, you peel the skin off the fruits…
As Hikari worked with precision, Tailmon felt that she ought to do something to help. However, the entire process seemed to mainly consist of small jobs, and her large hands made it hard for Tailmon to help with those. “Am I unnecessary here?!” Tailmon began wondering to herself. A place where she could belong in this kitchen was starting to feel smaller and smaller. That was when Sora spoke up.
Sora: Now we put the flour through a sieve to sift it. This step makes or breaks the taste of your cake!
Tailmon’s eyes flashed upon hearing those words.
Tailmon: Hikari, I’ll take care of that!
Tailmon snatched the sieve from Hikari and began to swing it back and forth with a ferocious single-minded intent. The flour was being properly sifted, but it raised up clouds of flour on both sides.
Hikari: H–Hey, Tailmon, wait… cough, cough!
Hikari was unable to stop sneezing, while Andromon’s body began to short-circuit from the floating flour and blow out smoke.
Piyomon: Sora, don’t get too close!
Piyomon pulled at Sora, to keep her away from the flour clouds…
In the meantime, with sounds of bzzt-ing and crackling, Andromon exploded!! The ingredients scattered everywhere in the kitchen, and it was a scene from hell itself.
Tailmon: Hikari…… I’m sorry……
Tailmon finally realized what she had done. However, the damages she received from the explosion were heavy and her vision began to blur against her will. She tried to find Hikari’s face as she was on the verge of losing consciousness…
The last thing she saw before her vision faded was Wizarmon, who (for reasons she couldn’t comprehend) was standing stock still without a scratch on him and staring at Tailmon with heat in his gaze.

Beach volleyball – 2 VS 2 (?)

Miyako and the others arrived at the beach during summertime to play. Jyou’s older brother, Shuu, also came along as their guardian. Upon Mimi’s suggestion, they broke up into the Miyako & Hawkmon Team versus the Mimi & Lilimon Team to play beach volleyball.
Shuu: Okay, we’re starting. The Mimi-chan and Lilimon Team serve first.
Mimi jump-served! Hawkmon rushed forward in a panic to receive it.
Miyako: Kyaaah! That was wonderful, onee-sama~~! [Miyako’s nickname for Mimi. It means “Big Sister”]
Hawkmon: Miyako-san!! Which team are you supposed to be cheering for here?!
Fighting back bravely as his feathers scattered about, Hawkmon was the only one on his team who played seriously. The rally continued.
Miyako: Here I go!
Miyako threw a spike. Mimi received it with a precise eye. Lilimon quickly tossed the ball up into the air.
Lilimon: Go for it, Mimi!
Mimi: Okay! Take this!!
Mimi jumped up high into the air until the sun shone from behind her.
Mimi: Attack!!
Hawkmon: Bwooooh!!!!
Miyako: Kyaah! Kyaaaah! You’re so marvelous, onee-sama~~
Hawkmon: I’ve had enough…
Receiving the ball full in the face, Hawkmon flew back from the impact. He could feel his consciousness fading fast…
Without even bothering to look at the fallen Hawkmon, Miyako continued to stare at Mimi with hearts in her eyes.
Around that time…
Jyou, who had also come along with them, had lost to the heat of the sun and was now suffering heatstroke.
Gomamon: Jyou? I brought you some water. Honestly, you need to sharpen yourself up…
As Jyou lay there with dizzy circles for eyes, Gomamon readied the bucket he had filled with seawater to pour onto him. Apparently, he thought Jyou would be just fine as long as he got wet.
Jyou: ……Someone… please… get me to… the hospital…

Wishing on a shooting star…

Due to Wormmon’s continuous pestering, Ken took the two of them out for a boat ride at the lake during the night. The night sky was filled with stars, and the March moon glowed prettily. The air around them was very quiet and gentle. The noise and traffic of the city were far away in the distance. This place was a world that belonged only to the two of them.
Wormmon: Ken-chan. The weather here is really refreshing. It’s so quiet, too.
Ken: Yeah. It is.
Wormmon: Ken-chan. Look! The moon looks so pretty.
Ken: Yeah. It does.
Wormmon: Ken-chan. There are so many stars out! They look like they’re about to fall from the sky.
Ken: Yeah. They do.
Wormmon: Ah, Ken-chan! I just saw fireworks all the way over there! It feels kind of nice to look at them from a distance, too, like we’re doing now, doesn’t it?
Ken: Yeah. I think so, too.
Wormmon: The city lights make it look like a lit-up toy town. It looks beautiful.
Ken: Hmm. It does.
Wormmon: Oh, wow! Oh, Ken-chan, look at that! A shooting star!
Ken: Yeah. It’s amazing.
Before long, the two of them fell into a long silence. Only the faint squeaking of the paddles as Ken continued to row the boat could be heard. It glided through the water as the flat wooden paddles drew quiet shapes into the water surface.
Wormmon: Ken-chan…. Are you tired?
Ken: Why do you ask?
Wormmon: Because, Ken-chan… you don’t look like you want to talk…
Ken: No, it’s not that.
Wormmon: ?
Ken looked at Wormmon for the first time since that night. His smile seemed to come from the very bottom of his heart, a smile that was more pure and beautiful than anything that ever existed in this world.
Ken: I was just thinking that I wish this moment could last forever.
Those words filled Wormmon with so much happiness that he could have cried. In that moment, Wormmon’s misty eyes spotted another shooting star sailing through the sky.
Wormmon: Yeah. Me, too.

——————————–

The Tamers are always fighting with Digimon. Naturally, because it wears them out, they’ve decided to have an outdoor picnic to refresh themselves. Will they be able to spend their time in quiet rest and relaxation?

Everyone has gone into the mountains today to have a pleasant picnic.
“Ah! Look, there’s a stream!”
Terriermon went into the water with Jian.
“Jian, look! I caught a fish!” Terriermon said happily.
Jian looked as if he was quite enjoying himself, too. “Now we’ll have plenty to eat for lunch.”
“Ahahaha! Moumantai!”

Once they had everything ready, all of them settled down to an amiable lunch!!
Takato and the other boys ate quickly and finished in a flash, while Ruki and Renamon chewed theirs unhurriedly.
“Renamon, want to try this?”
“O–Okay… What is it?”
“It’s deep-fried chicken gizzards. Here.”
Crunch, crunch, swallow.
“…You’ve sure brought a lot, Ruki.”

Guilmon was very full.
But oh? It looks like something has caught his attention.
“Takato! What’s that thing flying up there? Guilmon wants to know!!”
“Um, it says here that it’s… a Stern-us cin-ah-ray-shus.” [Sturnus cineraceus, the white-cheeked starling]
“Ah! It’s getting away!!”
“Let’s go after it! ‘White Wings’!!”
“Culumon is coming too, culu!!”

It was a normal Sunday afternoon, filled with nothing. A happy moment for the Tamers.

The Tamers on holiday… What do they do to spend their free time? We’ve taken a closer look at that part of their lives!!

Supervisor Yamaki playing the card game!!

It happened one day in the early afternoon, at the hiding place Takato and his friends used in Shinjuku Central Park. Four shadows could be seen in there. One of them was Yamaki, who looked rather upset, while the other was Takato, who looked unruffled. Both of them were holding cards for the Digimon card game. Apparently, Yamaki had been attempting to research the digimon from the card game’s point of view, but the match looked to be coming to a close…
The last two shadows were Guilmon and Juri, who were looking at the card players with broad grins on their faces.
Yamaki: Gooo! Attack Plug-in A!!
Takato: Ahh… so that’s how you’re going at it… but. Defense Plug-in C!
Yamaki: W–Whaaat?!
The Angewomon that Yamaki was attacking with, was defeated. This made it a total of 19 losses for Yamaki.
Takato: The problem is in your timing when you use your cards… you need to read more into the flow of the battle.
Perhaps because he was making consecutive wins against an adult, Takato looked a little triumphant.
Guilmon: Wow, Takato! Wow!! You took him down so fast!
Guilmon, all innocence, praised Takato.
Juri: Yamaki-san is pretty weak in the card game.
Katou-san, who also didn’t mean anything spiteful behind her comment, was smiling innocently.
Takato: Oh, don’t compliment me that much, Katou-san. You, too, Guilmon. Ehehe! So, Yamaki-san, how about another battle–
Before Takato reached the end of his sentence, Yamaki suddenly stood up. But because the roof of the playground structure they were sitting in was quite low, he bumped his head against it and gave out an involuntary yell.
Yamaki: Gah!
Takato and the others were surprised by Yamaki’s abrupt action. They looked at Yamaki with real worry in their wide, round eyes.
Yamaki: ……I–It’s nothing. I really envy you children. Uh… right. I have an appointment with the Wild Bunch to get to now. Um, you know. Karaoke. …Excuse me.
Fixing his lopsided sunglasses back on to his nose, Yamaki coolly got down from the structure. Then he fled, to get away from there as quickly as possible. As he was running, Yamaki thought. He definitely was not going to be going to Matsuda Bakery for awhile. No way was he going to be able to look at Takato’s face! Also, he wanted to go straight to someone right now and have them comfort him. Oh, that’s right, he had his good partner Reika. Surely she would comfort his tired self. Ahh, it’s so great to have a partner. Partners are the best!

— 10 minutes later —
Yamaki was scolded at by Reika. That was because he had forgotten to buy the Guilmon Bread that she had asked him to get at Matsuda Bakery. Reika was extremely hungry.
With drooped shoulders, Yamaki was forced to go buy the bread. And when he ran into Takato and the others at the front door of Matsuda Bakery, Yamaki felt even more awkward.

— 5 minutes later —
After buying Guilmon Bread, Yamaki headed back home. The expression on his face was bouyant and chipper, while in his hand, he held a bag filled with delicious bread and the “White Wings” card that Takato had given him as he cheered him up. While he held back something warm that came close to brimming out of his eyes, Yamaki thought from the bottom of his heart:
“Hn… I really do… envy you children…”

A mesmerizing gravure photo shoot?!

Flicker, flicker, flicker… Flash!
Flash!
Ruki’s eyes were squinted as she underwent the constant barrage of flashing lights. Today, through Rumiko’s introduction, she was enduring a gravure photo shoot that was aimed at young women.
Juri: Ruki-chaaan, try smiling! Not every girl gets to be in a photo shoot, so we should look pretty for our pictures woof!
Contrasting with Ruki’s scowl, Juri was in high spirits. Although she wore a dress similar to Ruki’s, she did not let go of her usual hand puppet in her right hand.
Ruki: …I don’t care if I’m not pretty!
Ruki mumbled, keeping her eyes downcast as she said this. Maybe the reason why Ruki’s face was red was because she, too, didn’t really hate being in a photo shoot that much.
As if realizing Ruki’s mental state, Renamon nodded in a way that conveyed deep emotion.
Renamon: Ruki… you’re very pretty.
Ruki blushed even harder at Renamon’s words.
Ruki: W–What are you talking about?! Are you stupid?! I’m going home!!
Juri: Ooh! They still haven’t taken good pictures of us yet! Hang in there just a little more, okay?
Forcibly, Juri held Ruki back as she attempted to leave. It was at this time that Impmon arrived at the photo shoot studio.
Impmon: Yo, guys, what are you doing? Let me join, it’ll be an honor to you!
As Impmon said this, he ran in circles around the cameramen. At this rate, he’ll make a mess of the entire photo shoot.
Sensing this, Renamon instantly unleashed her special attack.
Renamon: I won’t let anyone get in the way of disturbing Ruki in her finest clothes! Koyousetsu!!
Impmon: W–What did I do wrong?!
Impmon was blown away, along with the photo shoot equipment.
Around this time, Culumon, clad in a dress and hat that had been put on him, was squirming at Ruki’s feet.
Culumon: Culumon can’t see in front of him, culu~

The melancholy of Lopmon

An early afternoon on a Sunday. Coming back home from an errand, Jianliang could hear the joyful laughter of Shaochung coming from further in the apartment.
Jianliang: That Shaochung, she’s playing house with Lopmon again…
Shaochung: Lopmon-chan, it’s time for your milk~
A smile spread across her entire face, Shaochung brought a toy baby bottle closer and closer to Lopmon.
Lopmon: Um… but one hath already receiveth one’s three o’clock snack from one’s mother dear–
Shaochung: ‘I.’ ‘Have’!!
Lopmon: …! I have…
Shaochung: And babies can’t talk!!
Lopmon: ……….
Shaochung: What a good boy! Drink a lot so you can become big and strong~
Lopmon stood at attention and froze, unable to finish saying what he had been attempting to. Paying no attention to this, Shaochung forcefully pushed the baby bottle into the area around Lopmon’s mouth.

— 1 hour later —
Jianliang: Oh, did she fall asleep?
The still young Shaochung had apparently gotten tired as she played house and had fallen asleep… Next to her, wearing baby clothes stood a paralyzed Lopmon, staring blankly in front of him. Shaochung was holding onto one of his ears as she slept, preventing him from moving away from there…
Jianliang: You’ll catch a cold, Shaochung…
Jianliang tenderly put a blanket over the gently snoring Shaochung.
Shaochung: …Mmnh… Lopmon… we’ll always… be together…
Hearing Shaochung’s sleep-talk, the two of them involuntarily looked at her in surprise.
Jianliang: Lopmon. Please keep looking after Shaochung from now on.
Lopmon: As one dost well aware already. One hath… I have made a promise. No matter what happens, I will protect Shaochung.
In that moment… Lopmon thought he saw Shaochung smile a happy smile.

An unscrupulous battle – Hirokazu VS Kenta, their struggle to the death

It took place in a certain park along a riverbed. The place had become a bit of a hot topic among the kindergartners who lived near the area, because, as part of a regional service, Hirokazu and Kenta performed a real Digimon battle there every day.
However, for some reason, the legendary Tamer, Ryo Akiyama, was among the spectators today?! When they thought about it later, it was his very presence that started the entire nightmare…
Kenta: Here I go! Card Slash! Steel Drill!
His voice was as authoritative as it always was, in that afternoon at the riverbed park. First, MarineAngemon’s legs became a drill, and he attacked, which Guardromon quickly turned to avoid. So far, everything was going the same as always.
However, immediately after that, there was a loud roar as MarineAngemon crashed into the ground, and what appeared was a large hole!! Normally, Kenta would never use this much power! Something about Kenta… was very wrong today!!
Kenta: He dodged it?! Then, Card Slash! Speed Sevens! Chase him down with your high speed!!
The drill sped up under his strict, demon-like instructions!! Guardromon dodged them desperately, but every time he did, there would form another giant hole in the ground!!
Ryo: K–Kenta-kun! That’s overdoing it!!
Apparently, Kenta’s simple desire to show off to Ryo had begun to get out of control?!
And then there was Hirokazu, whose eyes were already gleaming and bloodshot!!
Hirokazu: Heh heh heh! I’m much more amazing! Look! Card Slash! King Device!!
Ryo: That’s not good either! Hirokazu-kun, you’re being rash!
Hirokazu Slashed the forbidden card, making Guardromon grow like a giant!! But the sudden weight caused Guardromon to lose his balance, and he began to fall over!!
Hirokazu: Gyaaaah!
Ryo: What else did you think would happen?! That card can only be used by advanced level– Ah, hey! What are you doing?!
Oh no! Cyberdramon, who’d been standing impatiently at the sidelines, had now lunged into the fight! The riverbed park became a scene of carnage within minutes, resulting in the kindergartners running around trying to escape!
Ryo: Stop!!
According to the rumors later on, it is said that that fearsome battle went on for about three hours. After that, no Digimon ever came to that place ever again…

All of the characters in “Digimon” have crossed the borders of their respective series to co-star in a dream-like performance?! These stories are quite fictional!

A secret conference held at a grilled meat restaurant?!

The setting takes place here, in a grilled meat restaurant. Taichi, Daisuke, Takato, and Takuya created a rather puzzling display as all four of them huddled close together and continued to eat their grilled meat in silence….. For some reason, none of their partner Digimon were with them.
Taichi: Y’know, when we meet up like this, the meat tastes exceptionally good!
Daisuke: Yeah, it’s so great we picked the All-You-Can-Eat course. We can stuff ourselves as much as we want!
Takuya: Daisuke really is stuffing himself as much as he wants… Ah, he stole Taichi-san’s meat again….
Takuya observed the scene idly as, for some reason or another in the general flow of things, he had been put in charge of grilling the meat. Thoughts ran through his head such as, So this wasn’t even an important conference to begin with, and, Why do I have to keep endlessly grilling the meat like this.
Takato: I really wished I could have brought Guilmon with me, though…
Daisuke: No, you don’t. He’ll cost you a ton of money. Takuya gets it easy because he doesn’t have to worry about stuff like that, eh!?
Takuya: Haha… ha…
Takuya had noticed before any of them… that Agumon, Guilmon, and V-mon were staring at them from outside. What’s more, V-mon looked as if he was crying!
Takato: Can we get a receipt for this later?
Takuya: He’s like a picky adult.

Sunglasses Mask Runs Wild!

Today the town is holding a small, one-day festival. An elementary school was used as its grounds, and a variety of food carts were lined up all around campus. By the puppet-lover Katou-san’s suggestion, the inside of the gymnasium was used to hold a Puppet Show Contest.
For the benefit of the large crowd that formed the audience, Chairwoman Katou-san introduced the performers in a loud voice.
Juri: Now for our next contestants, please give your applause to Entry Number 11, Miyako Inoue-san and Iori Hida-kun! The title of their play is “Sunglasses Mask Runs Wild”!! Please give it your all, the both of you~
Miyako-san has been called upon!
A suspicious-looking male puppet wearing sunglasses and brandishing a whip in his hand slowly peeked out from behind the stage… and, oh dear, it started hitting the Gazimon puppet that Iori-kun was holding!!
Miyako: Work, damn it! If you don’t, you get this!! And this! And this!
Miyako-san’s words were naturally tinged with ferocity.
“Stop that!”
“Stay back if you know what’s good for you, sunglasses man!”
The assembly room was filled with a storm of jeers and roaring laughter!!
Reika: Hey, do you think Sunglasses Mask could be you?
Yamaki: I don’t have an interest in whips!
While this charming conversation was taking place next to him, one boy was trying to leave the room for some reason…!?

Ghost House Panic?!

Jyou’s middle school is holding its annual school festival today. Because it’s the festival of a famous private school, the schoolgrounds are bustling with activity and there are tons of events to participate in! Even inside the school building, Jyou’s class had devoted much of their time preparing their haunted house, and it is now a huge success.
Izumi: Umm… I guess this is the place! It’s got a nice atmosphere going, don’t you think?!
Ruki: Well, let’s not get our hopes up.
Holding their written invitations at hand, the three of them disappeared into the dark gloom of the classroom.
Jyou: Heheheh. They say that the panicked screams of cute girls are well-suited for a haunted house!
Within the darkness, frightened screams and shouts of excitement could be heard mingling together.
Izumi: Ew! What is that? Kyah!!
Izumi gave the reactions that Jyou expected. The satisfaction from that made scaring her worth it.
Ruki: ……? What’s this?
Picking up the “fried tofu” that had been lowered in front of her face, she tossed it over her shoulder with a bored expression.
Among them, Tailmon was the only one who appeared nervous and kept constantly looking over her shoulder.
Rustle! There was a sound!!
Tailmon: Look out, Hikari! Stay back!!
Tailmon received the ghost (Junpei) that had jumped out at them with a flying kick.
Tailmon: You’re not hurt, are you?!
Hikari: I… I’m fine, but um, Tailmon, that person wasn’t really…
Tailmon: Don’t worry! I won’t let any of them come near you, Hikari!!
Hikari: Is that so? Fufu… then, I guess I’ll count on you to protect me.
As he watched Tailmon keep a strict vigilance over her surroundings, Jyou considered the benefits of running away.

A sandbox in the spring and the Tamers’ will!

Note: Oikawa is selling takoyaki. :9

The spring sunlight fell gently upon the children on a clear afternoon. Stressed from battling and going on adventures every day, they decided to take a breather at a neighborhood park. Some of them ventured over to the food stands, while others took a nap under the shade of the trees… each of them spent their break time however they wanted.
Sora was sitting on the lawn as she gazed at Taichi and the others playing soccer. When she glanced over to the sandbox, she saw—
Sora: Oh no, those children…
At the sandbox, Tomoki and Shaochung were having a huge fight.
Tomoki: I fight on my own, so it’s obvious that I’m more awesome!
Shaochung: Lopmon is strong, too! And who cares about this thing anyway! Take this!
Tomoki: AHH! You smashed it!!
Sora: Now now, you two!
Both she and Jianliang ran over to calm them down.
Sora: Tomoki… it’s true that, in our case, our Digimon are the ones who do the actual fighting. But that doesn’t mean their Tamer just stands by and watches them.
Jianliang: As their partners, we support them by providing the best conditions they can use to fight. It may be expressed in a different form, but even Tamers fight for the sake of peace.
Tomoki blinked at Sora and Jianliang’s words, and wiped away his tears before lifting his head. There he saw tears streaming down Shaochung’s face as she looked back at him with a crushed expression…
Tomoki: I was wrong.
Quietly, he held out his right hand to Shaochung.
Tomoki: Let’s be friends again, okay, Shaochung?

At a park, on a sunny afternoon, where they had decided to meet.

They had decided to meet at a famous spot in front of the Digimon Kaiser statue. Just like any other day, tons of Digimon here are causing a commotion.
Mummymon: Wait for me, Archnemon!
Culumon: I—I broke it off, culu!
Gazimon: Uwaah!? Please stop doing that, Etemon-sama!!
It may appear to be an unexpectedly noisy spectacle, but this is what usually happens every day.
And every day, a boy would arrive there with his Digimon. Whenever it was close to sundown, he would come here and silently play his harmonica.
Gabumon: It’s pretty noisy out here again.
Yamato: Doesn’t matter.
Apparently, it was the boy’s dream to form a band. That is why, in order to do so, he would never fail to practice his instrument here.
Two young boys who passed by him caught the strains of his melody.
Kouichi: That kid over there is good.
Kouji: Yeah, it’s a nice sound.
Kouichi: Do you think the Digimon next to him is his partner?
Kouji: Must be the one on the right.
The gentle melody of the harmonica floated in the breeze as if it were carefully blanketing the peaceful evening. The Digimon Kaiser continued to watch over the scene in silence.
Kouichi: Anyway, I guess Junpei-kun isn’t coming.
Kouji: Let’s just go home.

Information here was taken from the “Bokura no War Game” storyboard, drawn up by its director, Mamoru Hosoda.
It is a very detailed book that I’d recommend any good fan to purchase (You don’t even have to know Japanese because his handwriting is a mess). If you’re interested in how a storyboard is drawn up, this is a good book for you, too.
In this post, I’ve provided parts that I’d personally found interesting – locations of the world that featured in the movie, the use of real world sites for background, and miscellaneous information.

	In which Yamato does not have a sweet tooth. In the storyboard events, Takeru is described to be very excited and interested in the ohagi [A Japanese sweet consisting of rice and red bean paste] as their grandmother offers the plate, while Yamato is described to look at it in disgust. Later on, you see that Yamato hasn’t touched his share.
	In which Mimi has nothing important to say. The contents of Mimi’s postcard are copied word for word from the storyboard. It says (including all grammar errors): “HOW ARE YOOOU~?! I’m well. I’m doing so well that it’s, like, gonna be a total problem if someone doesn’t stop me but then again I think being happy is the absolute best thing so that’s okay. By the way, I won’t forget to get you a souvenir!! Make time to listen to everything I’ve got to say when I get back!! Bye. From Mimi.”
	In which Hosoda-san is resourceful. A real photo was used for the front of Mimi’s postcard.

Soon To Be Christmas

Tailmon: It’s going to be Christmas soon.
V-mon: Oh! Speaking of Christmas, Daisuke is all fired up about getting Hikari-chan a present!
Patamon: Eh? I think Takeru said the same thing…
Tailmon: Hmm~
Hawkmon: Tailmon, that “I know something you don’t know” reaction is very creepy. If there’s something you want to say, you should come out and say it.
Armadimon: It has to do with Daisuke having… that thing… for Hikari, you know, gya?
Hawkmon: “That thing”?
Armadimon: Hawkmon, you’re rather stiff in the head, so you’re oblivious when it comes to these things gya.
Hawkmon: Whatever do you mean? My head is a very soft head covered in feathers!
Tailmon: No, what he means is—
A shuffling sound is heard drawing closer.
V-mon: Hm? Who’s there?
Wormmon: Let me in on the conversation, guys… what are you all talking about?
V-mon: We’re talking about what everyone will be doing for Christmas. Daisuke is going to give Hikari a present.
Patamon: So is Takeru…
Armadimon: Iori said he was going to have a Kissy Kissy Jelly drinking contest with his grandfather dagya! He’s practicing Kissy Kissy at home every day gya.
Hawkmon: Miyako-san has been collecting things at garbage dumps for some reason and constructing something out of them. She says she isn’t sure if it will be finished by Christmas, but it is going to be a great invention or something or other…
Tailmon: Hikari is knitting a scarf…
V-mon: Eh?! For who?!
Tailmon: She won’t tell me…
Patamon:　Ahh~ I know nothing~
V-mon: Wormmon, what is Ken doing?
Wormmon: Ken-chan? Ken-chan is making one thousand paper cranes right now!
Tailmon: …That’s sad.
Wormmon: Sad? Sad? Is it sad?
Patamon: Umm… yes.
V-mon: No, it isn’t! …Someone he knows is probably sick, right?
Wormmon: No, Ken-chan just likes to make origami. Hey, is that sad? Is that sad?
Tailmon: Well, all of the new Chosen Children seem to have some strange quirk about them, so… it’s a tough life for us.
Hawkmon: Yes, I agree.
V-mon: Me, too.
Armadimon: So do I, dagya.
Patamon: Hm? I haven’t felt it was much trouble.
Tailmon: You would…
