Digimon X-Evolution

The original Digital World was cultivated and populated with Digimon by the intelligent computer, Yggdrasil. However, due to the continual multiplication of Digimon, Yggdrasil found itself unable to handle the load, and the Digital World began to collapse in a cataclysmic event termed the "Digital Hazard." With its world dying, Yggdrasil initiated Project Ark, the first phase of which consisted of unleashing the X-Program to delete all but a few Digimon that he had selected. These select Digimon were subsequently relocated to a new Digital World that Yggdrasil had created, comprised of three plains – Urd, Verdani and Skuld. But some Digimon were able to survive the X-Program, developing an antibody against it - the X-Antibody, which transformed them into new, more powerful versions of their old selves. These X-Antibody Digimon fled the destruction of the old world, and came to the new one, where they quickly became the targets of Yggdrasil’s elite guard, the Royal Knights .

As time went on, Yggdrasil prepared to initiate the second phase of Project Ark – the complete and utter deletion of the Digital World and all Digimon, both normal and those enhanced by the X-Antibody. When Alphamon and Omnimon prepared to confront the computer over this, the phase was begun. The Digital World began to die as Yggdrasil's Death-X-Dorugremon swept over it, reality crumbling in their wake, but when Omnimon X destroyed Yggdrasil, the world was reborn as it was.


ENTERING THE DIGITAL WORLD

Each season has a different way for Digimon, Humans, and other beings to crossover into each world.

  • In ''Digimon Adventure'', transit to the Digital World was only possible through a naturally-occurring gateway point, which could only be opened by Digivices from Earth, or by the ancient "key cards" from the Digital World. To travel to the Digital World gates of this type, a person must be in possession of a Digivice. The two primary established gates of this type exist at the summer camp the kids were visiting in 1999, which transported them to and from the Digital World for the first time, and at Highton View Terrace, through which Greymon and Parrotmon emerged in 1995, and which the kids used to return to the Digital World after defeated MaloMyotismon . The gate at Highton View Terrace was later sealed by BlackWarGreymon .


  • ''Digimon Adventure 02'' introduced Digi-Ports, programs built into computers which allowed access to the Digital World. The precise origin of the program is unclear, but it can only be activated, and the gate opened, by a D-3 Digivice . Wielders of a standard Digivice are not able to open the portal, but can traverse it once it is open - as with the original gates, possession of any kind of Digivice is necessary to travel through a Digi-Port. By all accounts, some Digi-Ports occasionally open randomly around the world.


  • ''Digimon Tamers'' had a more complex method of travelling between worlds. Digimon travelling from the Digital World to Earth must "bio-emerge" into the real world, materialising within a "digital field" which synthesises false protiens from the surrounding matter, giving the Digimon within form in reality. The vast majority of bio-emergences occurred in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo , possibly as a result of a weakened spot between the two worlds existing there due to the presence of the Hypnos system. There is no fixed spot in the area that bio-emergences occur in - Digital Fields can spring up anywhere.


:For humans to access the Digital World, however, they must use a definite portal - in the case of the Tamers, Guilmon located a portal for them beneath his hide-away. Entering this portal, the Tamers entered a distortion zone where their bodies, their perceptions of the world, and the way the world perceived them were altered to appropriate conditions, before being deposited on the Digital World's oldest plain. Unlike the world of ''Digimon Adventure'', Digivices are ''not'' necessary to traverse the dimensional boundary.

  • Similarly, Digivices are not necessary to travel to the Digital World of ''Digimon Frontier'' - transit between these worlds is ill-defined at best, but is accomplished via the use of Trailmon , travelling from any one of the Digital World's many Trailmon stations to a Trailmon station beneath Shibuya Station in Tokyo. While in the Shibuya Station, the Trailmon have been shown to adopt the forms of regular Earth trains, and the station itself is not a man-made creation, existing many levels below the station, and yet somehow accessible via the station's normal elevator. It is possible that the Earth station may be an interdimensional point between the Digital World and Earth, and that the elevator shaft contains the portal that actually opens into the real world.


Humans have occasionally used vehicles and crafts to travel to and from the Digital World, though they are not always necessary. Upon returning from the Digital World at the end of their first adventure, the DigiDestined used a trolley car to travel through the portal to Earth. The DigiDestined of ''Digimon Frontier'' used Trailmon to travel from world to world, and to travel back to Earth form the Digital World, the Digimon Tamers used the "Ark," a Digital program which they boarded and which then bio-emerged into the real world, bringing them all with it.

Through an unexplained process, some human beings have also been able to project their minds into the Digital World upon entering a state of unconsciousness. Caught in a car accident, Shibumi of the ''Digimon Tamers'' universe was left in a coma and able to project his mind into the Digital World in a ghostly, immaterial form. In the ''Digimon Frontier'' universe, on the other hand, after falling down a flight of stairs, Koichi Kimura 's mind left his body and entered the Digital World - presumably as a result of his desire to follow his brother, Koji Minamoto , there. Koichi's spirit, however, existied in a physical, corporeal state in the Digital World, but had no Fractal Code.
