'' (
2000 ), also commonly written as ''Digimon 02/Digimon Zero Two'', is a sequel to the
Previous Season . In this season, the original Digi-destined grew up into junior high school students (except for
Kari and
T.K. ) and could no longer watch over the Digital World and be with their Digimon friends. All of a sudden, a young kid who called himself "The Digimon Emperor" rampaged through the Digital World attacking Digimon, putting them under mind control, and making them fight, with the help of the "Dark Rings," "Control Spires", and later "Dark Spirals". Three new Digi-Destined are selected for this task, and with T.K and Kari, make up the "new" Digi-Destined.
A new generation of Digi-Destined, composed of three new children, as well as Kari and T.K., are given a new kind of
Digivice known as ''
D3 '', which allows them to be transported to the Digital World through computers. Another advantage was Armor Evolution, using a device called a
Digi-egg (not related to the Digi-egg, which means the youngest stage of a Digimon) so their Digimon can evolve in the presence of Control Spires. They eventually stop the Digimon Emperor,
Ken Ichijouji , thanks to the sacrifice of
Wormmon , Ken's partner.
After his defeat, Ken repented his evil deeds and joined the Digi-destined as they fought an evil digimon named Arukenimon and her lacky Mummymon. Arukenimon had a unique power to turn the Control Spires into super-strong, artificial Digimon in her control. To fight this new threat, the gang learn of DNA Digivolution, enabling their Digimon to fuse with each other for more power. Eventallly, when the battle was brought to the real world, the true mastermind, Yuiko Oikawa, made himself known. This man extracted the Dark Spore inside Ken and implanted it into other children who wished for the greatness Ken once had. Those spores develop into flowers that harvest the infected children's energy. Eventually, the Digi-Destined confront Oikawa, only to learn he's an extreme loner whose only friend in the world was Hiroki Hida, Cody's father. Hiroki and Oikawa always used to play old video games when they were young, eventually becoming obsessed with the Digital World and always dreaming of going there. In the end, an entity springs from this man's body, none other than the 'real' mastermind,
Myotismon , now reborn as
MaloMyotismon .
This season ended with the help of the other Digi-Destined from all over the world, using the light that existed inside each one of them and their wishes to transform the Digital World into a nice place again. Oikawa, who is too weak to enter the digital world, becomes its guardian as he passes away. After peace is restored, the boundary between the Digital and the Real World is broken down, giving every human a chance of having their very own Digimon companion.
Season two was also a highly regarded season. Ratings did slightly dip, but not large enough to notice much of a difference. Introducing three new faces helped build the storyline.
Post
September 11th Attacks have resulted in Disney banning three episodes after their first showing on
ABC Family due to similar references in those episodes. The episodes that were banned are episodes 44, 45, and 46. What should be known are the first two banned episodes are parts two and three of the three part Daemon Corps Saga and the third banned episode is
WarGreymon 's duel against
BlackWarGreymon . There is currently no indication if these episodes will ever be aired again, though ''
Pokémon '' episodes banned for similar reasons have begun to re-air, if sparingly.

In this series of Digimon it is revealed that this iteration of the Digital World also runs parallel with two other dimensions - one, a kaleidoscopic world of colour and shape, composed of an energy that is capable of turning thought into reality, while the other is a dark and foreboding world of evil, characterized by it's grim, expansive ocean called the World of Darkness, theorized to be capable of bringing beings' dark thoughts to life.
Three years after the events in
Digimon Adventure ,
Yukio Oikawa , a human who had learned of the Digital World when he was a boy, made attempts to enter the Digital World to live out his unfulfilled childhood dreams. Unbeknownst to him, he was possessed by the spirit of Myotismon, who was manipulating his actions. Oikawa created
Arukenimon and
Mummymon and sent them into the Digital World, where they manipulated the young
Ken Ichijouji into becoming the Digimon Emperor. As the Emperor, Ken set up his Control Spires - the design of which had come from the enigmatic World of Darkness and had apparently been implanted in Ken's head by someone, possibly Oikawa, or by the Dark Spore already within Ken - all around the Digital World. The Spire disrupted the fabric of reality, creating spatial warps and weakening the dimensional boundaries. Oikawa hoped he could use this disruption to enter the Digital World, but the actions of the new DigiDestined who were destroying the Control Spires and prevented this from happening. Next, Arukenimon and Mummymon created
BlackWarGreymon , who set about destroying the powerful Destiny Stones, which completely threw the balance of the Digital World out of order. However, the DigiDestined were able to free Azulongmon from the prison the Dark Masters had put him in years before, and he stopped BlackWarGreymon from destroying the last stone.
Oikawa's final scheme to enter the Digital World was a grand one. Arukenimon opened all the Digi-Ports, allowing wild Digimon to come to Earth, and the DigiDestined had to travel all over the world to round them up. While they were gone from Japan, Arukenimon and Mummymon began kidnapping children. When the DigiDestined returned, they discovered that
Daemon and his henchmen
MarineDevimon ,
LadyDevimon , and
SkullSatamon had come to Earth in search of Ken and the Dark Spore within him, but Oikawa managed to copy the Spore first, before Daemon could get his hands on him. Daemon was repelled into the World of Darkness as Oikawa implanted the Spores into the kidnapped children. His hope was for the Spores to convert the children’s' innocence being that which lets children enter the Digital World by using this energy he could use to traverse the dimensional barrier. However, Myotismon had other plans, and brought Oikawa to another dimension which was a world of dreams and nightmares where he began to absorb the powers of the Spores into himself and became
MaloMyotismon . After MaloMyotismon's defeat, Oikawa used the dream dimension to fulfill his own desire. His body was transformed into energy in the form of a flock of butterflies, which spread across the Digital World, restoring peace and harmony.
Digimon: The Movie, released in the US and Canada territory by Fox Kids in October 2000, consists of the union of the first three Japanese movies (first two parts from
Digimon Adventure , the 3rd part from Adventure 02). Those stories are based in the universe introduced in the first two seasons of the TV series.
The last story involves the next generation of Digi-destined children after they travel from Japan to the U.S.A. and meet up with
Wallace (Willis In English Version) , helping him to stop the menace of an enigmatic threat. As a kid, Wallace was given two twin digimon, one of which,
Kokomon , mysteriously disappeared without a trace, returning later as the ruthless
Wendigomon . T.K. and Kari are the first ones to encounter Wendigomon in New York while they are visiting Mimi; he kidnaps Mimi (she disappears before T.K. and Kari's along with the rest of the older Digi-Destined and begins to de-age them. Wallace eventually explains his connection to Wendigomon and that Wendimon wants to see Willis again, which was why the Digimon kidnapped the older Digi-Destined -- because they, like he, have Digivices.
But when Wendigomon evolved to Antylamon, and then Cherubimon, he de-aged Willis and the younger Digi-Destined as well. Willis figures out that his Digimon's urge for things to go back to the way there were litterally meant to make Wallace a kid again. After the battle is over, Cherubimon is defeated and the older Digi-Destined reappear at the points they disappeared from. In the end, Willis discovers that his digimon was still alive after the fight, ready to be reborn from a Digi-egg.
The American compilation of this and the two previous movies claims that Willis 'created' Diaboromon in an attempt to create a continuous storyline; in reality, the third movie is not even considered canon to the show's plotline. The compilation also cuts the de-aging of the older children and battles from the third movie in order to shorten the film. Also for the dubbed version of the third movie all the images that were shown of the older Digi-Destined at the beginning of the dubbed film were actually what they were doing when they disappeared.
In this movie that takes place three months after MaloMyotismon's defeat, the DigiDestined go up against Diaboromon again. Tai and Matt head back to the Internet to deal with him with Omnimon, while the younger DigiDestined go to deal with the rampage of a swarm of
Kuramon (Diaboromon's Fresh form). With the help of
Angemon and
Angewomon (with T.K. and Kari), Omnimon was able to destroy Diaboromon again...but it turned out to be a trap, as his destruction allowed many more Kuramon to go to the real world. Things go out of control when the Kuramon in the real world merge to create a Mega level called
Armageddemon , an alternate Mega in Diaboromon's evolutionary line. It is so powerful that neither Omnimon nor
Imperialdramon were able to defeat it on their own. In the end, Omnimon gives his energy to
Imperialdramon Fighter Mode , powering him up to
Paladin Mode . Using his Omega Blade attack, Imperialdramon is able to strike down Armageddemon, splitting him back up into the Kuramon. With the help of the energy from the Digi-Destined Digivices and the cell phones from the other kids of Japan, the Omega Blade is powered up, allowing all of the Kuramon to be destroyed for good. This is notable for being the only movie that has Ken in it.
Takes place on Valentine's Day 03, a month before the events of Revenge of Diaboromon. As Davis tries to to change his image in an attempt to get girls to like him. Kari, Mimi, & Sora were held hostage by
Boltmon who justs wants a heart. Overall, the story serves not to provide lighten humor but also to reveal info on certain plotholes left by the series.
Taking place in the summer of 03, Davis & DemiVeemon meet up with Mimi, Willis, & Gummimon in New York City. However, without warning, the entire city falls under a strange winter that is somewhat linked to fireflies and a mysterious girl whom Davis befriended and developed feelings for.
