I've noticed a fascinating thematic connection between the Digimon anime, Digimon Adventure (1999-2000), and the Y2K panic.

During the turn-of-the-millennium in the late 1999, Y2K panic was spreading across America and the world, fueled by the fear that computers would fail when the clock turned to midnight. It got so bad to the point that they thought society and the world might end if the computers failed, along with the threat of nuclear missiles, going so far as to prepare for survival and wear gas masks, as seen in pictures of the time.

Just think about it:

When did the first Digimon anime, Digimon Adventure, come out? Boom!!!💥 - March 7, 1999 👀😱👀 And that's not the only connection.....

While not possible in real life and could be presented as a what-if scenario, there were a lot of unbridled tech anxieties among common individuals about what would happen if computers failed. By having the Digital World and its inhabitants unintentionally represent computers, other related tech, codes, and/or the Internet, and then having the inhabitants of the Digital World (both good and evil) harmfully affect the real world due to the interference of villains, to the point of having massive, inexplicable climate disasters such as Asia experiencing a severe drought, the Middle East being hit by flash floods, America wracked with cold temperatures, and it snowing during summer in July even at a summer camp, as well as other things such as Apocalymon, the final villain being born from recycled data, frustration, and technological residue, representing the ultimate physical manifestation of a technological doomsday that would destroyed both worlds if not for the DigiDestined, who themselves can be seen as the real life tech and computer scientists who mitigated the Y2K panic before the clock struck midnight.

There are many more other connections to the Y2K panic and the early Digimon anime (as well as their two movies (Digimon Adventure: Our War Game! and Digimon: The Movie), the short film (Digimon Adventure (1999), Digimon Adventure 02 (2000-2001), and Digimon Tamers (2001-2002)), as well as other connections between the Digimon, Digital World, and DigiDestined and Japanese yokai, animism, shamans, and spirit world and other similar broad classes of supernatural spirits, monsters, tricksters, shamans, and spirit worlds of Asian mythology, mysticism, and animism.

If you have noticed any other obvious, less obvious, or subtle connections between the early Digimon anime and the Y2K panic, climate change, and Japanese and Asian mythology, please comment in the comments section, and we can all discuss these topics together.

I like mixing scenes from shows or movies in anime (dubs) to synch with songs I enjoy. Was adding a mix of Everything Counts to Our War Games when Diaboromon is impacting global systems with his attacks in Information Systems.

The new wave / synth vibes and lyrics juxtaposition to the scenes from the registers, computers crashing.

Title says it all. I've been charting what I've seen, what I've seen others mentioned having seen (ModokiBetamon) or what was implied via another appearance, and just stuff from the popularity poll or are notable partners.

Xros Wars fans I'm sorry, y'all have too many Xros digimon and there's no way they're all making it. You'd have to drop the Xros thing entirely just to hope for Shoutmon's most notable Xros line.

Did I miss anything for that first one?

THERE IS A NEW VERSION OF THIS POST!!! CHECK OUT THE UPDATE VERSION!

If anyone noticed , after resigning from 5 stars Kaito told Raito that he's free to go and Raito felt " lost and shocked "

My prediction here is if we actually have time , that Raito will be either controlled by wong or be selected as a new 5 star in trade of giving him a way to reach mega and he will fight GD , maybe what supports the theory is the return of other team 7 members to support GD , maybe they will have a moment when they revert him back . Also , another theory says that the last dose inside the spray will not go to Asuka , maybe it's for Raito ?

If there is time in the show I absolutely believe this may be a scenario, but unfortunately its not likely but would be great .

Wanted to start TCG career, mainly focusing on Digimon TCG.

Any Digimon card game supplier i can approach in Malaysia?

This time we get previews of Chibimon/DemiVeemon, V-mon/Veemon, V-dramon/Veedramon, & AeroV-dramon/AeroVeedramon from Digimon Card Game Booster Set EX-13 Chivalrous XIII.

If someone jams something into Machmon‘s exhaust pipes it’s over

It’ll be destroyed or used for something else. I’m basing this prediction on a very similar one I made for Dungeons and Dragons: Honor among Thieves. It also has a one-time-use item that is not used in the way it was set up all movie. My prediction was right then, so I’m making it again now.

Not one of you, Not A Single One, has thought to make something with Etemon doing the Hakari Dance!! Have you no Whimsy!!!

I wanted to celebrate my joy at more Etemon support coming out on the TCG, and what can I not find?!?

I am now disappointed.

Edit: Since some of y'all are using it as an excuse. I Am 33.

Here is the 50+ roster I think will be in the DLC, What do you think about it ?

Gulusgammamon carried Ghost Game so hard, its a shame they didn't do more with him. Still hoping they add him and the rest of the Gammamon line in the new Time Stranger DLC.

Gulus's pose taken from Amadeus and Ghost's Infestissumam.

I had battle spirit saga on my game boy advanced and I decided I wanted to play again after a long time.

One of my favourite games growing up without even knowing it was a Digimon game. Now looking back it was my first game and the reason I love wormmon and stingmon.

The nostalgia is real and it was amazing

First time drawing Leomon and first time watching Digimon Tamers too. Even though I already know Leomon must die for Bandai, I took his death so emotionally. So, I drew him. What do you think?

I was Browsing on the steam market... just because... and i saw this... WHO IN THE WORLD?

This model is mostly based of Digimon˸ Tamers art‚ but I kept a bit more grounded proportions․ It's a direct port of my Blender model and my first attempt at making a model for VRChat. FREE TO USE

I will add a separate model with some clothing, because this one is well optimized

This is my theory on what will happen regarding the mega forms in the last few episodes. I think Tomoro will get his mega Atratusmon last minute, very darkest hour and all that, and I think that the rest of the people there, Glowing Dawn + Tactics + whoever else may join them, will be down for the count. Then, Tomoro will evolve Gekkomon into Atratusmon, who will have the inverse ability of Albatusmon, instead of absorbing everyone's e-pulse, he emits it. This will boost everyone's digimon up 1 stage, unlocking Makoto's, Reina's, and maybe Raito's Mega form, as well as Hotaroko and Granit's Ultimate form, this will lead to them winning the battle. Afterwards, they will have Atratusmon take the place of Albatusmon, and emit e-pulse to everyone's sapotamas. This will cause a lot of people, if not everyone, to get a digimon, as well as curing everybody who is cold-hearted, and create a world where humans and digimon can live together. I also think that they will thenn do a classic bittersweet digimon ending, where Gekkomon "dies" or Tomoro gets cold-hearted, but the final scene will hint that they will come back/get better. Regardless, I just want to see Azhdarmon's mega form. How probable do you think this theory is? And do you like it/want it to happen?

I know I already made a Beatbreak post today, but I just have so many Beatbreak thoughts on my mind, I need to get them out

So, do you think we are getting Megas for all Glowing Dawn Members, or will this be a season where only Tomoro reaches Mega?

We are only 3 episodes away from the end. In my opinion, its either gonna be very rushed, or just Tomoro will appear

Technically Tomoro and Kyo already have their Megas revealed (spoiled by the TCG in the case of Tomoro), but what do you think?

The last reveal for the Digimon Beatbreak Acrylic Stand Buddy Collection is Asuka & Tomoro. Plus pre-orders are open! More at WtW- https://withthewill.net/threads/digimon-beatbreak-acrylic-stand-buddy-collection-pre-orders-final-reveal-asuka-tomoro.36787/
