Plot

[edit]

Takato Matsuki, a fan of theDigimoncard game, finds a Blue Card, which transforms his card reader into a D-Power Digivice.[a]His original Digimon creation, Guilmon, materializes into real life when his D-Power scans his drawings. Takato meets Henry Wong and Rika Nonaka, two other children who are partnered with Terriermon and Renamon respectively, as well as Calumon and Impmon. As wild Digimon began roamingShinjuku,the Tamers defeat them and defend the city. Using their D-Powers, the Tamers can Digi-modify[b]through scanning cards or help them Digivolve.[c]After each Digimon is defeated, their Digimon obtains their data. Meanwhile, Hypnos, an intelligence agency led by Mitsuo Yamaki, has been capturing the Digimon and sending them back to the Digital World.

The Tamers eventually began working with Hypnos when the wicked Devas invade the Real World. Calumon is captured by the Devas, and the Tamers follow him to the Digital World to save him. During their journey, they meet Ryo, and his Digimon Partner, Cyberdramon. Impmon turns his back on the Tamers when he encounters the dog Deva Caturamon, and wishes to become strong, thus becoming Beelzemon. Eventually, the Tamers confront Beelzemon, and Beelzemon kills Leomon, causing to Jeri Kato fall into depression. After resolving conflicts with the Digimon Sovereigns, the Tamers learn that the Digimon are protecting themselves from humans and the Real World after the Digital World is invaded by the evil D-Reaper, a rogue clean-up program. As the Tamers return to the Real World, the D-Reaper kidnaps Jeri, manipulating and trapping her inside the body. When the D-Reaper begins to materialize in the Real World, the Tamers defeat it, using the program and saving Jeri. With both worlds restored, the children say goodbye to their Digimon partners, when they end up returning to the Digital World by the effects of the program. The series ends with Takato discovering the portal in the tunnel.

Tamers

[edit]
Takato Matsuki(Tùng điền khải người,Matsuda Takato,Takato Matsudain the Japanese version)[11]
Voiced by:Makoto Tsumura(Japanese);Brian Beacock(US); (English)
Takato is a 10 year old student.[d]His parents run their ownbakery.[12]Takato plays card games with his friends and draws his own Digimon on paper. After finding a Blue Card, he uses it on the Digivice to create Guilmon. Learning that Digimon are mysteriously appearing in their world, Takato joins the battle. Because Guilmon was a product of his imagination, Takato appears to be empathic with him and thus the two influence each other in every fight. Their bond is augmented when Takato biomerges with Guilmon into Gallantmon. Takato becomes the leader of the organization. He also appeared inDigimon Fusion.
To reflect the normalcy of the characters, Takato was imagined to be a "normal" boy who is "full of curiosity" and "fascinated by monsters and Digimon."[12]To continue the tradition of naming the leading characters in theDigimonseries, Takato's name began with the same sound asTaiand Davis' Japanese names, the leading characters fromDigimon AdventureandDigimon Adventure 02.[12]
Rika Nonaka(Mục dã lưu cơ,Makino Ruki,Ruki Makinoin the Japanese version)[15]
Voiced by:Fumiko Orikasa(Japanese);Melissa Fahn(US); (English)
Rika is a 10-year-old[d]champion of the Digimon Card Tournament and known by the title "Digimon Queen." Her relationship with her mother is initially strained, as she is often too busy with work to spend time with her.[16]She is partnered with Renamon.[15]At first, she has a cold and lonely personality and believes in fighting Digimon to become the strongest.[15]However, Takato helps her see that there is more to Digimon beyond fighting.[15]She also appeared inDigimon Fusion.
Rika was designed with a "strong" image and character in an attempt to boost sales for products based on female characters, which traditionally did not perform well in the market.[13]In early stages of her design, Konaka and Nakatsuru based her onTrinityfromThe Matrix.[13]Fumiko Orikasawas cast to play her due to her clear, strong voice.[13]Konaka decided not to give Rika a father figure to reflect how many Japanese children have grown up without fathers, and he did not intend it to be the cause of her "twisted personality" in spite of the events portrayed in the filmRunaway Locomon(which he had no involvement in).[13]
Henry Wong(Lý kiện lương,Rī Jenrya,Lee Jianliangin the Japanese version)[17]
Voiced by:Mayumi Yamaguchi(Japanese);Dave Wittenberg(US); (English)
Henry is a 10-year-old student[d]of half-Japanese and half-Hong Kong Chinesedescent from Takato's school,[17]though they are not in the same class.[14]In the Japanese version, he is nicknamedJian(ジェン,Jen)for short when he grows closer to his friends. Because Henry takes care of his younger sister, Suzie, he is patient and mature for his age.[17]He is also experienced with computers and technology because his father is a computer engineer.[17]Henry is partnered with Terriermon, and because he dislikes hurting others, he is reluctant to fight.[17]He is also atai chipractitioner. Throughout the series, he is unaware of his father's connection with the Monster Makers and Hypnos.
Henry became the basis of the proposed non-Japanese or emigrant character Hiromi Seki had wanted for the main cast.[14]Konaka decided to make him half-Chinese and half-Japanese based on the statistics of non-Japanese students in elementary schools.[14]Originally, Henry was written as a foil to Takato, where he would offer "a difference in values" that contrasted with Takato's "child-like beliefs and values."[14]

Partner Digimon

[edit]
Guilmon(ギルモン,Girumon)
Voiced by:Masako Nozawa(Japanese);Steve Blum(US); (English)
Guilmon is areptilianDigimon that resembles atheropoddinosaurwith a digitalhazard symbolon his chest. He is created by Takato, who drew him and was brought to life soon after by the Blue Card which the DigiGnomes secretly placed among his card deck. Guilmon originally has the mentality of a child, unaware of the differences between humans and Digimon, often calling his partner "Takatomon". He stays in a shed ofShinjuku Park,learning to speak normally and develops a better understanding of the world around him. Guilmon possesses a taste for bread, often being distracted by the thought of food. Guilmon has a very keen sense of smell and possesses somewhat of a sixth sense to detect other Digimon in the vicinity, usually goingferalin fights due to his virus-type nature. He is also loyal and protective. When Guilmon reverts into Gigimon as a side effect of the Red Card, he says goodbye to Takato. Guilmon also appeared inDigimon Fusion.
Guilmon was created byChiaki J. Konaka,influenced byUltramanandKaijufilms. Upon viewing the initial design sketches, he assumed that the character would be roughly the same size asAgumon.However, when he realized that Guilmon would be about the size of a human adult, he realized that "[h]e was nowhere near small enough for a child to hide in his room." Konaka realized that he could tailor the plot of the series to incorporate the problem.[18]
Terriermon(テリアモン,Teriamon)
Voiced by:Aoi Tada(Japanese);Mona Marshall(US) (English)
Terriermon is a small one-hornedterrierDigimon with a laid-back personality, often using the word "Momantai" (written asVô vấn đềorVô vấn đề), aCantonesephrase meaning "take it easy/no problem".Terriermon was originally a wild Digimon living by thesurvival of the fittestrules in the Digital World. Henry chooses Terriermon, while playing a video game. When Terriermon digivolves into Gargomon, he goes on a rampage while fighting Gorillamon and loses control. Henry uses a Blue Card to send him out from the computer to the real world. Throughout the series, Henry hid Terriermon from his family, using him like astuffed toywhich Suzie plays with. When Terriermon reverts into Gummymon as a side effect of the Red Card, he says goodbye to Henry.
Renamon(レナモン)
Voiced by:Yuka Imai(Japanese);Mari Devon(US); (English)
Renamonis a yellow bipedalfoxDigimon with a mature personality for a Rookie level. In a fight, she uses ninja-like skills, such as vanishing from view until called and moving at fast speeds. These traits mean that, unlike Guilmon and Terriermon, she can fend for herself when Rika is at school, and never gets into trouble like Guilmon. She has no memory of her life before meeting Rika, whom she first saw as nothing more than a means to become stronger. Her initial exchanges with the other Tamers and their Digimon cause her to question this belief, and Rika's obsession with battle. When Rika and Renamon part ways, they begin to understand each other, and reunite themselves for their apology. Renamon learns that Impmon is selfish, because he is desperate for digivolution. When Renamon reverts into Viximon as a side effect of the Red Card, she says goodbye to Rika. Renamon also appeared inDigimon Fusion.

Production

[edit]

After the success ofDigimon Adventure 02,Hiroyuki Kakudo and staff did not know what to do now that the series was finished.[clarification needed]The team was satisfied with the release ofDigimon Tamers,as Kakudo believed the setting could have also been applied in the previous anime.Chiaki J. Konakawas concerned that the portrayal of the Digimon as "kind-hearted creatures" inDigimon AdventureandDigimon Adventure 02might affect the "monster-like spirit ofDigimon."As a result, Konaka wanted to explore the primitive nature of Digimon, where they instinctively harm other creatures to become stronger and would learn morals from their partners. This aspect would be primarily explored through Guilmon.

Konaka was also worried about Digivolutions losing impact due to their repetitiveness. In order to solve this, the D-Power was designed as the new Digivice so that it could be used alongside cards and give the characters another "ace up sleeve." The writers wanted to limit the use of cards to one at a time. The main characters being more responsible of the evolutions and their adventures was another of Konaka's priorities as a message to children from modern society.[7]For the last episodes of the series, Konaka believed the final enemy is the D-Reaper.[19]While making the series, Konaka had conceptualized the idea of the Tamers combining with their Digimon to reach the highest level of evolution, Mega. Shinji Aramaki joined the design team in the CGI animation, which including the Bio-merge scenes.[20]

Unlike the previous series, Konaka did not introduce the idea of Digimon being reborn after death, as he believed death should be portrayed realistically in a show for children, especially since the main characters were risking their lives. As a result, the staff decided to portray death as a shocking event by using Leomon like inDigimon Adventure,even though Konaka had doubts about it.[21]While the series was presented as dark, Terriermon and Calumon balanced out the tone of the series.[22]

According to Chiaki Konaka, the story-line ofDigimon Tamerswas largely influenced by one of the original scripts prepared forGamera: Guardian of the Universeby Chiaki and Kazuya Konaka before the script written byKazunori Itō,and the ideas by Konaka brothers were later adopted forDigimon TamersandGamera the Brave.[23][page needed][24][page needed][25]

Character design

[edit]

The characters were designed by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru and was based on the concept of "a normal elementary school student has a great adventure over the span of a year."[12]Producer Hiromi Seki had wanted the three main characters to be of mixed genders and consist of an immigrant or someone not raised in Japan.[13][14]Rika was designed with a "strong" image and character in an attempt to boost sales for products based on female characters, which traditionally did not perform well in the market.[13]Henry became the basis of the proposed non-Japanese or emigrant character, and Konaka decided to make him half-Chinese and half-Japanese based on the statistics of non-Japanese students in elementary schools.[14]Originally, the main cast fromDigimon AdventureandDigimon Adventure 02were set to appear as mentors, but the idea was scrapped and only Ryo Akiyama from theWonderSwangames was used.[7]

Sequel

[edit]

In 2021, Konaka had posted on his blog that he originally had plans to createDigimon Tamers 2020,which would have been the continuation of anaudio dramathat was released with the 2018 limited edition Blu-ray box set ofDigimon Tamers.[26][27]However, Toei Animation had rejected the pitch; Konaka claimed it was due to casting problems, particularly in regards to having some voice actors reprise their roles or play older versions of their characters convincingly.[26][27]

Short story

[edit]

Digimon Tamers 1984,written by Chiaki J. Konaka and illustrated by Kenji Watanabe, was published on July 5, 2002 in Volume 5 ofSF Japan,a Japanese science fiction magazine. The story focuses on the creation of the original Digimon program by the Monster Makers atPalo Alto Universityand dealt largely with the philosophical and technological issues surrounding the creation of artificial intelligence.[45]In 2018, Konaka uploaded an updated version of the story onto his website.[45]

Reception

[edit]

Due to its differences from the first twoDigimonseries,Tamersreceived mixed reviews when it first aired in the United States (September 1, 2001). Tim Jones of THEM Anime writes, "AlthoughDigimon Tamershas its faults (slow character development, a sudden change in new characters from the last series, and a less-than-exciting first half), the more you watch it, and the further you get into it, the more you'll enjoy it. "In comparison to the first two series,Tamersalso displayed darker undertones in its plot.[46]According to English-language dub voice actorDave Wittenberg,the new series possessed "an element of seriousness" that was not present in the first two series. Additionally, some parts would be better understood by older viewers due to the introduction of more difficult concepts.[47]Regarding this, Konaka believes that Calumon and Terriermon were able to tone down the grim and serious atmosphere of the occasionally tough scenes throughout the series.[48]

The airing of the series coincided with theSeptember 11 attacks,and in at least one case, the events have been analyzed within the context of the series. Margaret Schwartz ofPopMatterswrites, "AsNPRand other […] media began to debate the September 11 images, I began to see just how important it was to consider how we as a culture define and experience 'reality' […] Some argue that the shocking video footage […] is a necessary experience of the catastrophe—even a condition of it. "She points out themetafictionalstory ofTamerswhere "bits of forgotten computer data have fused to become a separate world inhabited by live creatures". In acknowledging the line drawn betweengood and evilin the series, Schwartz writes, "The evil here consists in refusing to see that Digimon are 'real', real creatures, and that destroying any one of them is in factmurder."Through the existence of intangible communication networks as a" product of human ingenuity ", she concludes that" those of us in the 'real' world have become so good at playing creator, at making 'things' appear much like 'real' creatures, that we tend to confuse the two. "[49]

Controversy

[edit]

DigiFes 2021, an officialDigimonevent taking place annually on August 1, held a live reading featuring the original voice cast of an originalaudio dramathat Konaka had written forDigimon Tamers'20th anniversary.[50]The script featured the Tamers fighting a villainous entity called "political correctness",which used an attack called"cancel culture."[50]Prior to this, Konaka had been keeping a retrospective blog for rewatchingDigimon Tamersand had blogged his opinions about conspiracy theories around9/11andCOVID-19.[50]The audio drama was met with international backlash.[50]Konaka released an apology on his blog and clarified that he did not associate with any political ideology.[26][27]
