old XWH Nene redesign. a bunch of yellow tossed in to represent sparrowmon + the orange vest (plus slightly warmer color scheme overall) is meant to show her ties to xros heart.

Yeah I don't really have anything new or interesting to say about hunters other than it's a pretty big downgrade in comparison to the previous two xros wars seasons... and the worst sequel series the anime has made... and so far the worst episodic season of digimon (though there's only two of those so far with the other one being ghost game).

** This is the 2nd part of Digimon Xros Wars saga with Taiki, Kiriha and Nene on their adventure while Akari and Zenjirou are left out.

*** This is the 3rd part of Digimon Xros Wars saga with Tagiru, Yuu and Taiki as the protagonists. This 3rd part has the overly long title so we fans prefer to call it 'Digimon Xros Wars: Hunters' or 'Digimon Young Hunters'.

**** Yes, this movie has an overly long title. I had a hard time deciding whether to highlight it in bold or not.

Happy Digimon Day!

These seasons are generally regarded as bad by the fandom. It's not my personal list

So, you come here to read my blogs, which are about 9Digi-Protagonists. It's clear, based on the name of my blog and the blog rules. But what exactly is the '9Digi-Protagonists'?

Well, let's talk about the context. I am talking about the Japanese sub.

When I say about the 'Digimon characters', it means all of the characters, main or side, good or bad, have appeared and will appear in all media branches of the Digimon franchise. When I say about the 'Main characters', it means all important characters whom the show is around.

'Protagonists' are the ones the show focuses on. They are (usually) the symbol of the show, and even when the audiences almost forget the show, they will remember them.

So, in conclusion, the '9Digi-Protagonists' are:

Yagami Taichi (14) and Agumon from Digimon Adventure (1999-2000)

Motomiya Daisuke (11) and V-mon from Digimon Adventure 02 (2000-2001)

Matsuda Takato (10) and Guilmon from Digimon Tamers (2001-2002)

Kanbara Takuya (11) and his Spirit (Agnimon/Vritramon) from Digimon Frontier (2002-2003)

Daimon Masaru (14) and Agumon from Digimon Savers (2006-2007)

Kudou Taiki (14) and Shoutmon from Digimon Xros Wars (2010-2011)

Akashi Tagiru (13) and Gumdramon from Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time (2011-2012)

Shinkai Haru (14) and Gatchmon from Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters (2016-2017)

Amanokawa Hiro (13) and Gammamon from Digimon Ghost Game (2021-2023)

Some of you may have the following questions, and I will answer:

Why is Yagami Taichi from Digimon Adventure: (or, as you may know, 'the reboot of the original') not listed here? Reboot Taichi and Original Taichi may have the same name and appearance, but they are very different. I respect Reboot Taichi as a character. However, I… have mixed feelings about the reboot generally. Not that I hate it, but… By the way, I think it's better to not include him in the group. Although the shenanigans when we have two Taichi in the room are very fun… You can still ask me about him, of course!

Why do you include such annoyed/flat characters? I can't imagine how you can make interesting interactions by including them! In my opinion, there are no bad characters, only bad writing and bad interpretation. Characters' developments exist after all. And I think all Digimon characters have been written very well! It's just that Adventure (and especially 02, remove tri) have a specific, implicit, signature way of writing characters' personalities and developments. And Tamers has a special general way of writing (actually, not because it's dark). But not because other series don't have that way of writing characters that their characters have bad writing. You can see a lot of characters over there have really bad ways of writing. So, no, I think all the characters I have chosen above are very suitable.

Why is the Japanese sub? I think the sub and the dub are the same, right? Uh… It's a truth that no matter how good your dubbing is, there will always be differences. Japanese culture has very unique differences. We cannot add a long note about those differences in the show; that is obvious. And although Digimon's dubbing is very good compared to other dubs, I just want to respect the original one. So we come to the conclusion that the sub and the dub are very different. The main reason, after the fact that some people don't know about this large gap, is that not many people rewatch another version of what they have seen. That is absolutely beyond blame. And to avoid bias or discrimination, we are talking about the previous American dub. Modern dubs or non-related-to-American dubs are usually closer to the original.

If you have any other questions, please ask me!

Has the Digimon fandom reached the point of the nostalgia cycle where we can start admitting Xros Wars is good and is still severely underrated?

also look I know The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time was rushed and feels incomplete but it's still charming and has some great ideas but was sadly hampered by basically being nothing more than a timeslot filler

But Xros Wars is Good! The first two seasons are one of the best shows the franchise has ever had! Even Young Hunters is good for what's there it just didn't get the time and respect it deserved! I will die on this hill

[timelessanimo]

Imagine.. if Taiki looked like his start-of-adventure self during the final arc of Digi-Quartz and Tagiru saw him. Tagiru would lose his mind haha

Also headcanon that Tagiru is taller then Taiki.

[digitalmonsterconfessions]

That somebody: there are no bad Digimon seasons Me: ...Not even Xros Wars: The Young Hunters?

[kyanitedragon]

Ryouma + Gumdramon (Hunters ep 7)

“I’ll give Gumdramon back to you. It’s not like I wanted him in the first place.”

[pyrokinesis]

So I finished all of Xros Wars (including Hunters) and I must say: this show is great, third season a bit less but I loved it nonetheless, especially Taiki, Nene, and my son Kiriha! Characters are so great, and I must say this is my second favourite show, after Adventure 02 (if we count it as a special show of Adventure universe, if not, then Adventure)

Xros Wars showed me many things, and one of the most important, aside from the power if friendship, is that I wouldn't wish dancing Love Love Dance upon to my greatest enemies (lol)

(also why is this show so queer-hinted)

[orikeel]

This had been sitting in my folder since September 2018 so it was probably about time I finished it

I miss these kids a lot
