Now I'm really surprised I didn't have to cut down on any songs here. I guess they are more lenient toward Digimon. After editing this video, I think my top 5 are: 1) Digimon Tamers 2) Digimon Universe App Monster Opening 1 3) Digimon Adventure 2020 4) Digimon Opening 1 5) Digimon Adventure Tri It was very hard for me to rank the openings for 2nd through 5th spot.

Kouji Wada, the singer for the Adventure, 02, Tri, Tamers, Frontier and the second Savers openings (and many, many more songs in the Digimon franchise) lost a long battle to cancer in 2016... I believe the Tri opening was his last song recorded for Digimon... He always sounded amazing even when he was battling nasopharyngeal cancer, and I can't help but wonder what the Digimon Adventure 2020 opening would have sounded in his voice. I miss him dearly. 🖤

Digimon is more high stakes than Pokemon because it's mostly either saving the world or saving the digital world, and there isn't any tournemants unless we're talking about games than sure but it's generally more edgy than Pokemon.

Last Evolution's opening isn't fan made. It's actually official and part of the final movie of the digimon adventure series.

So many people make the mistake of treating digimon like pokemon (which is understandable) but it’s a better to compare it to a regular anime where the mcs have to defeat a dark power. For the actual continuities: Digimon Adventure 01, Digimon Adventure 02, Digimon Tri, Digimon 2020 (reboot of adventure 1) / Continuity 1 (kids get transported in the digital world to save it from various threats) -Digimon Tamers / Continuity 2: (digimon is a card game but kids learn they’re real creatures and have to save both worlds from a virus) -Digimon Frontiers / Continuity 3: ( kids fuse with / turn into digimon and have to save the digital world from devil digimon) -Digimon Data Squad / Continuity 4: (high schoolers become part of a government organization that keeps peace between both worlds) -Digimon Fusion, Digimon Hunters / Continuity 5: (kids have to recruit and fuse digimon together to stop a dark army from conquering the digital world) -Digimon App Monsters / Continuity 6: (digimon are AIs born from apps in the phone and kids have to stop an AI that turns the app monsters evil with viruses) -Digimon Ghost Game / Continuity 7: (digimon are invading the real world and the kids need to solve mysteries and help people affected by digimon)

What's funny about the 'arrogant' pink haired girl, is she's actually incredibly sweet, but she plays an arrogant archetype in an idol group, so there's a lot of funny character bits where her real personality rubs up against her stage persona. EDIT: Also, that 'not an opening' was from the film Last Evolution Kizuna, about the kids from Season 1. It wasn't fan-made, it just wasn't a traditional opening. It was more like a regular opening credits (after the cold open / battle), showing us where everyone is in their lives right now. The usual plot behind Digimon is kids forming bonds with their monsters and fighting bad/rogue Digimon. As they grow emotionally, it's reflected in their Digimon that evolve into stronger forms.

Thank you so much for watching these! Not enough people appreciate how great these songs/openings are. My favorites are definitely Appmon's 1st opening, Ghost Game's Opening FACTION, FIRE! from Frontier, and Biggest Dreamer from Tamers. The Digimon franchise has great music all around between the insert/evolution songs, endings, game soundtracks, etc.

Digimon 01 : I use device and necklace to evolve Digimon Tamers : I use cards Digimon Frontier : *Become the digimon

I grew up watching the Latino dub. They would go above and beyond fitting lyrics to the OG anime intros.

Adventure and 02 are set in the same world, starting from Tamers each series is set in a different universe with the exception of Tri. Tamers is probably the most different series of them all, it's mostly focused on the real world and the whole thing has a very dark tone.

God, I miss Wada Koji.

10:27 As someone likely brought up, after Adventure 02 each series takes place in their own timeline of events, with the Tri movies and Kizuha movie circling back and continuing the Adventure timeline.

Missing ghost game opening.

The characters of Digimon Adventure Tri are the same characters from the very first opening just older now.

Nice :D To sum up a bit, the main "goal" in digimon series is usually to save the digital World and human world and restore the balance between light and darkness, defeating a digimon or entity that is putting the World in danger. Thought every series has its own plot and characters and rules because digimon works as a multiverse :b An example would be the first digimon series which is an isekai about 7 children that got transported to the digital world where they met their digimon partners that fight together with them to survive in a world they know nothing about and trying to find a way to go back to their world, also having to defeat (kill xd) several diabolical and evil digimon that are threatening both the digital and human world, having to grow up together with their digimon to become stronger and protect everyone

others have prolly already said this but ima point it out anyways so basically the only seasons with a consistent continuation from like "where we last left off" is digimon adventure, digimon adventure 02, digimon adventure tri, and yes that is the opening for digimon last evolution which is a movie meant to close off the "adventure" series (and then theres the 2020 opening which is just a reboot of the first season of adventure) all these openings have the same characters and are the openings to each season where said characters grow the fuck up (literally from 10->14->16->like 22) every other season/opening is not involved in the adventure series so theyre all more stand-alone than the ones listed above. adventure also re-uses butterfly a lot because its the opening to the first season and therefore a certified BANGER and icon for digimon.

That last one is a 'reboot' of the original show and there's a lot of good things about it even though there are some differences. 1) the characters have a much better connection with each other and there's no fillers 2) the characters have a much more 'direct' approach to interacting with digimon or the environment. For example the digimon tamers ACTUALLY try to fight alongside their digimon partners instead of just standing around 3) One big thing I love is the fact that this is probably the first time we've seen Digimon be able to digivolve into different evolution paths in an almost 'free' manner, different evolution paths were more 'rare' and usually when the leading protagonist's digimon has a 'dark evolution'. 4) Many scenes and stories have become 'bite sized' so you will breeze through various 'arcs' or stories or characters quite fast, but I think they did a damn good job in the storytelling for the time limit they had. Digimon Tri is the 'continuation' of the original series where everyone grows older and goes through further 'coming of age' mature development, as well as the struggles with very real life consequences of property damage and possible harm/risk to civilians since fights take place in the real world, not the digital world. I'm surprised Tamers is your favorite because many people tend to say something different, I'm actually happy. Tamers season's English Dub opening is not too shabby either. The start of the opening always gets to me, coolest part.

"Is that a Digimon? That doesn't look like one. Looks like an angel." Plenty of Digimon are literally just " a person". There is no rule to how a Digimon looks like. XD

Kind of a spoiler, but near the end of Xros Wars, it became a multiverse thing which was mindblowing back then. The finale of Xros Wars was basically Avengers Endgame but with all the main characters from other Digimon universes. It's actually so cool and was way ahead of its time.

If you do end up watching, I recommend that you do Digimon Adventure 01, 02, Tri. those three are connect, and in my opinion, they are the best. (Mainly because I grew up watching Digimon, so I'm probably being biased.)

wait was that an edited version of the frontier opening? I don't remember having Kouji's brother in the opening

There is another series, the most recent one is Digimon Ghost Game, a horror take on the franchise. The OG Adventure was from 1999 and its remake was in 2020. 20 years in anime budgets and tech makes a big visual difference, especially since 99 Adventure had a TINY budget. They had to do a ton of animation cheats (like most backgrounds being blurred pixelated messes) and couldn't have the most epic fight scenes, so they had to *gasp* actually make good characters to fill the screen time. It had a charm to it just watching these 12 year olds try to figure out just what the hell was going on around them as they blunder through an alien world. 2020 had amazing animation (the best in the franchise) and awesome fights... but really lost the character element, unfortunately.

Digimon has multiple continuities in the anime. Seasons 1/2 are the same universe (along with the Tri movies, Kizuna, and now 02 The Beginning)- The plot for these seasons was basically 7 kids get summoned to another world and have to team up with lil monsters to save the other world. Season 2 introduces more characters and focuses more on how the two worlds are linkd and such. Season 3 /Tamers is its own universe (though there is a link to season 1, its relaively minor and doesnt affect th plot any)- Focus is more about kids just having fun with the monsters they bfriend... later on has a whole save the world plot. Season 4- yet another timline, Humans summond to save the digital world... this season/series shook things up by having the humans do the fighting by becoming digimon. And it was minus like 2 episodes set entirely within t he digital world. Season 5/ DataSquad/Savers - main character is 14, main girl 18, and the blond dude is 14 but already graduated from some high end university cause he's some sort of genius. They are part of basically a police like agency tasked with protecting the human world from digimon attacks. So MiB basically... just they lack the memory erasing pens. Fun season overall. Season 6/Fusion/Xros wars- The manga for this portrays it more as some weird mash up universe where everything from the past stuff all happened (or some version of everything at least) But as with what appears to be t this point a even numbered series trend. They shook things up by getting rid of the levels that existed for the first 5 and just went rule of cool and gave the main dude a whole army that could combine. The first 30 episodes didnt start to get good until like ep 14. Then you had the 2nd arc (death generals/dark generals) which was pretty solid. Then th oddnss that was Hunters... since originally it was its own series (like season 2 was to season 1) set in th same world as Xros wars... however mid production they retroactively rolled it into Xros wars proper. It nver got a US english dub (not sure if it got a dub elsewhere) But then again it definitely felt the least thought out. Setting a few concepts up but never actually exploring them. The first 2 arcs were pretty simple plot wise- 3 armies are fighiting ovr some mcguffin, you collct all the parts of said mcguffin and you can reshape the world however you wish. Part 3 shifted the focus to the human world, never actually involvd the digital world if i recall correctly, and added a bunch of restrictions with no xplanation as to why they suddenly exist. Thre was some sort of tournament type set up that showd up like halfway through, lasted one ep... clearly they had no idea what they wanted to do with that storyline. Applimon which might be the most contested as to whether it counts or not (at the very least its digimon adjacent) Since basically instead of digimon and the digital world existing, the focus is on monsters born from the cloud essentially. App based monsters. I personally view it as proving that the ideas of series 6 (xros wars) were good ideas and were just poorly executed. Since they do hav their own power levels ( called grades instead of levels) so there is clear progression and theres also a clear distinction between a power up form (app link) and new forms/ evolution (App Gattai) Where as in Xros wars there seemed to be no logic behind what resulted in a weapon/add on and what resulted in a new name Xros wars probably had rules they just werent made clear. And part 3 definitely tried to establish a bunch of rules to bring thins more in line with what fans were used to but yeah. Tri was a set of 6 movies that acted as follow up to season 1/2. Advenure 2020 is a reboot of th original, set in 2020 rather than 1999, so its yet another continuity. Kizuna (the final op) actually hit japan before Adventure 2020 started) it was a movie set 5 years after the Tri movies.

That's a digivice.... that helps the Tamers evolve their digimon partner.

Fun fact digimon last evolution kizuna is real and it is a movie for the timeline is digimon adventure to digimon adventure 02 to digimon adventure tri to digimon last evolution kizuna.For digimon adventure 2022 is a reboot of digimon adventure story and digimon xros war first 2 season is about a war between 4 faction one of the faction is the villain's faction and the other 3 is the good guys and fusion digimon together for the third season is about hunting digimon to fusion them together to make a new digimon and fight digiquartz that want to rule both the digital world and real world

stuff that came to my mind as a german: 1. ein digimon wird dich begleiten... DER BESTE FREUND ALLER ZEITEN! ;') 2. es wird noch soviel geschehen, doch unsere reise muss weiter gehen! ;') 3. IRGENDWANN WERDEN DANN DEINE TRÄUME WAHR!

Last Evolution opening was a redone old version because the main Digimon composer died and from my understanding the song was one of his favourite ones.

Great Video! Always Love Watching Peoples Reaction To Digimon For The First Time. Btw, You Missed The Most Recent Digimon Opening "Digimon Ghost Game:FACTION"

Digimon Last Evolution make me cried so hard

ur missing Ghost Game opening

If you haven’t watched the Italian versions you should. Italy almost always makes their own openings for anime and they usually kick the English versions butts.

Kayanna: Fun fact about the Japan version of anime it's more lengthy and has extra bits than the english dub vers and I kinda like the english voice of the characters

No one seems to have pointed out that the Digimon Frontier one in this video is not the REAL version of the opening. Like the song is. But the visual were edited to include the 6th kid who joins the cast later in the story by splicing scenes of the episodes. Which honestly ruins the presentation and removes a lot of the best visuals in the opening. Like they remove the final shot of all 10 Digi Spirited. And cool momment in the middle of the song where the chsracters lips move to match the ehat the simger is saying.

Rip Wada Koji

Every season is in it's own separate universe with no connection with each other for a few exceptions. Digimon Adventure, 02, Tri, and Last Evo are all in the same timeline (Last Evo is a Movie). Obviously the Xros Wars Trilogy of Seasons are all together. Everything else though is on it's own. You also missed the most recent season being Digimon Ghost Game

It is a crime that you didn't see ghost game's op because faction (the song that was used for that anime) slapa so hard i regularly listen to it now

Digimon Ghost Game was an amazing season except the finale which was rushed since Bandai wanted to start pushing Digimon Seekers into releasing. Maybe we'll get a season 2 sometime where we get Arcturusmon, Proximamon and the "supposedly scrapped" Millenniumon arc/story

Where are you getting "masters" from?

He ones with the mechs is my personal favourite(and not for most people) because it gives my favourite concept Fusion

Ahh! Digimon was my childhood, and I also rewatched my favorite, Adventure, and it's continuity, 02, a few times through my teenage and adult years... Then I watched Adventure tri. this year and it was such a let down imo. If you do watch it, I would totally recommend Adventure and 02, Adventure being definitely the most popular Digimon installment! I remember also really liking Frontier as a kid, but I never rewatched it after growing up, I might have to do it now cause the opening and first ending are SO nostalgic to me, I haven't stopped singing them today. 😭

You should definitely watch the series in sub next. You'll probably enjoy it.

4:51 "we might get some heat here" says he at the border of an active volcano

Digimon tamers is by far the best digimon season for me. I loved how dark it was

Hm, fair and valid points and opinions. I wonder what you might think of Ghost Game’s Opening?

You actually missed an opening, the playlist was probably created before the Season aired, but Digimon Ghost Game is the most recent series

I guess no one drop this fact yet, the strongest digimon in the digi verse is masaru daimon

brave heart and butterfly is one of the most iconic😁😁

its crazy to me that people expect like nothing from digimon when it rivals one piece in toei's eyes

The main goal for the initial couple seasons of Digimon is mainly, them getting dragged into the digital world and trying not to die

woudl love to hear you also react to Brave heart and Break up not as familiar with tamers and frontiers digivolution themes but advernture and 02's themes kick butt!

If your interested in knowing about digimon I recommend billiams digimon retrospective videos

Listen to the Digimon anniversary, it's awesome

i dont know if you would be interested, but you could try out the Same openings in German, they poured their Blood into the Voice (in my opinion) i´m german myself and everytime i hear the openings or OSTs , i just get happy and sing with it along, even after 20years of the first hearing.

last one was from the latest movie for digimon that came, I think

About your videos freezing like that. KZfaq does that if you watch videos back to back in fullscreen I think. If you take it out of full screen when switching to the next video that should stop happening. Now about my favorite anime of all time! Each season after adventure 02 is in different timelines from each other, and you can't capture digimon like you do pokemon. Well I mean you COULD, but they're not animals unlike pokemon, and are just people who come from another dimension with lives and sometimes whole ass jobs like owning restaurants and stuff. So there isn't a goal like becoming the "digimon master". Usually the goal is to not die, and see where we go from there.

im still wondering why nobody adds digimon ghost game to the op reacts since it came out in 2023 so it isnt that new

no ghost game you missed the newest season that's been out 2 years

Any chance you'd check out the jp yugioh openings?

personally I liked digimon more than pokemon and I saw up to digimon 1 to 5 but from there to go I don't know anything about anything, but digimon 5 if it was tremendous quite good XD

Damn he missed Digimon ghost game

Du musst die Deutschen intro’s anhören sind 1:1 wie das original aus Japan.

you missed ghost game

Yay yay

Chale porque siempre se olvidan de Digimon Ghost Game. 😕😕😕

Unfortunately, for digimon tri. The only thing they put their heart into was the animation. The story was a dumpster fire nostalgia cash grab. What a waste of potential smh

I don't mind Japanese songs but I don't understand the facastion towards them. I liked the songs but because I couldn't understand, I couldn't ever fully enjoy them like English songs.
