Man, the build up to the crossover was incredible back in the day. Nearly 10 episodes before the crossover itself, they tease the old protagonists were returning in Episode 68 using their silhouettes and I’ll never forget all the hype from back then. When the first V-Jump scan with all the protagonists coming back came out, it was a kind of hype I’ve never experienced again as a Digimon fan tbh.
Also, I’ll add that a lot of stuff coming out at the time of this anime crossover was also doing crossovers, like card game stuff (Super Digica Taisen had Tai return to be the General of the Royal Knights, before adapting the Legendary Hero stuff from these anime episodes), the Adventure PSP game did a full crossover with Hackmon and Gankoomon as well, Re:Digitize and Decode featured some old anime characters and even had some of them use X forms instead of their normal Megas, etc. This was a whole era, it’s just most of this era was contained to Japan only. 😢
Everyone else had to be nerfed. Can't have the old gen one up the new protag. That's why it's best for cross over episodes to have returning villians from older series for that episode alone so both groups can get their licks in without making the other look weak.
All protagonist got nerfed even taiki got sidelines by getting stab so that tagiru can shine which pissed me off, and omegashoutmon should have been much stronger because he is the digimon king in this universe
Marcus Damon is by far my favorite leader specifically because he's a regular guy who just decides to punch skyscraper sized digimon in the face for shits and giggles. You can't get too much more metal than that
Well, he's not a regular guy.... he's literally the ONLY super human.... the rest of them are regular kids who just happened to get monsters.... He's the only irregular who could actually fight those monsters without a Digimon...
I still consider THIS to be the TRUE FINALE of the entire Digimon Anime as a whole. Like this WAS the finale of our generation of Digimon. Applimon that came afterwards and the others since has been the start of a new generation of the Digimon franchise much like how Pokemon is now entering it's new generation of it's run of the anime.
Ill never forget the reaction my friend had when I showed him this was a thing that actually happened. 😂 *"Alright I know I don't follow digimon as religiously as you do, but who the hell is the absolute giga-chad that downed three Kaiju with a single punch to the face???"*
And this isn't even the only crossover. Uhhhmmm... - Taichi, Yamato and Sora from Adventures and Takato from Tamers made an appearance in Digimon World Re:Digitize -Mirei and Rina from Re:Digitize showed up in Cyber Sleuth, Cyber Sleuth: Hacker's Memory and World: Next Order - Next Order features the protagonist from the very first Digimon World game on the PS1 -Ryo from the Wonderswan meets V-Tamers Taichi and is the same one from Tamers -all the fighting games -Digimon masters - Adventure cast showing up in masters and rearise - Dorumon/Alphamon from the X movie is in Decode,Cyber Sleuth,Hacker's Memory -Ulforrceveedramon from V-tamer shows up in the Xross Wars manga as a Royal Knight -Sayo from Dawn/Dusk is also in Cyber Sleuth (as well as Super Xros Wars -Tri Meicoomon is in Next Order and Rearise - Savers cast are in are in DS, Dawn, and Dusk -the Digimon Next cast show up in Dawn and Dusk -Gotsmon and Pumpkinmon from adventure show up in a frontier drama cd (and its stated thats where their data was reborn, in the frontier universe) -Wizardmon and Tailmon from Adventure show up in the Xros Wars manga -All wonderswan games the Digimon Next cast also show up in World Championship -Digital Card Battle has the Adventure cast show up to fight Mameo -Digimon racing -the Adventure cast show up in cards in Digimon heroes, Jintrix and Collectors - Hackmon and Gankoomon from Adventure PSP show up in Cyber Sleuth and continue their story. -Daisuke from 02, Takuya from Frontier and Taichi from the Reboot meet V-Tamers Taichi
I was thankfully one of those people that followed along with Xros Wars as a season of Digimon and I loved it personally as I loved the designs and concept behind it. When this crossover came out I was hyped being a fan of the episodes like Forever Red too! Also I didn't think about the fact that Takato had known of Tai and Davis' time difference because he watched their adventures like us and that's so cool to know
Masaru did punch a demon lord to his death in Savers aka Data Squad, and it's only right that he punches Venom Myotismon as soon as he enters the scene in Xros wars
A really cool thing we got to see that wasn't a HUGE deal was the actual transformations outside of the animation they usually get. Like seeing the xros wars characters' faces during the biomerge is what I think EVERY enemy that has seen it for the first time looked like with the sudden strip thing.
I was so happy watching this subbed all those years ago. The Digimon Franchise really cares about its audience, and they know how to show love to long time fans!
No one really talks about it, but Yukio Oikawa, who was the main villain and host of (Malo) Myotismon was turned into a bunch of butterflies at the end of the season Ken, and Matt.
I actually enjoyed Digimon Xros Wars. Which is why I was able to see this awesome event as it was unfolding. Guess it goes to show you that you shouldn’t write something off just because it’s different.
Xros Wars was freaking amazing!!!! Its a slow start but onces it starts...it goes!!!!! and while Young hunters was much "villian of the day" when we heard rumors of a crossover was going to happen...it made it worth waiting for this episode. UGHHHHHH What a great time
man, watching this on its release as a kid left such a huge impact on me. Seeing every previous seasons protags teaming up in the end was so hype that i would rewatch the last few episodes for a whole month
I’m so upset this never got dubbed Becasue I was invested into the first two seasons and when it just disappeared I was confused till I found out about the last season
Unfortunately during that time even longtime fans only cared about the first 3 seasons and many of them weren't even playing the games. I will probably never know what was up with the fanbase during that time. There was still just as many fans but hardly any of them showed it so japan just pulled the plug on localization. If your fans wont act like fans then why bother? Its something you usually see when fandoms die off bur as far as i can tell there was more than enough fans to sign a succesful petition thaflt saved the series so idk. Its like the fanbase just collectively hit their heads and forgot there was still anime and games and merch being made.😅
@@Coomamon_Memes I felt pretty alienated back then. When they were like nevermind season 1 and 2 were just a tv show this is the real digimon universe.
@@dylansylvester4719 i can see that but i think you are probably the exception not the rule to what i was saying. I lumped the 3rd season in because thats arguably the most popular of the 3 and also when many dipped because of frontier. The ones that stayed however became this kind of ghost fandom thats there but doesnt make itself known. Its fine if people fall out of love with it and im happy that so many of those old former fans came back after tri but idk why so many lifelong fans who never left would sleep on digimon for so long then freak and start petitions when japan pulls localization support.

On the other they care enough to rally the troops and save it once its in danger of being a jp only series like medabots.
@@dylansylvester4719 come to think of it i felt the opposite of alienated from tamers. I remember seeing takato and how he grew up with the digimon anime and thinking he was just like me in that regard. My child mind that still believed in magic suddenly felt like my own partner digimon could show up any moment. I think thats both the creators intentions and many fans my ages reactions. Maybe you were a bit older?
I do like that because of, probably, copyright reasons, or budget, they couldn't use the OG sequences, so they decided to go for more of a realistic digivolution sequence. It all looked so good.
I don't think it was copyright issues! Maybe budget? But I got the impression they just wanted to 'recreate' the sequences instead of pulling old footage, and I think it's better for it.
I've seen edits of the Sequences being added and it was more than 10 minutes of screen time. So there were a lot of Time Constraints. As for the Dub, I don't know if they could pull it off because Data Squad is the only Season that doesn't have an official release.
This video made me remember the absolute banger of a song for the crossover event which is called Legend Xros Wars, which I shall now go and listen to!
In my opinion Cross Wars (with japanese dub) was one of the stronger season of Digimon as whole. Sure it was something we had to get used to because there were no lfocus on evels anymore like Champion and Ultimate etc. But this way other digimon could shine a bit more here and there. The cool thing was that in the Manga, Digimon Adventure and Cross Wars were connected without a certain event in adventure. Taiki wouldn´t have gotten his Cross Loader and therefore would have saved his digital world.
I remember it was great to see all protagonist all together and fight along side with each other, especially with Mimi and Rika/Ruki standing together. I still have hopes that Toei could do this again in the future with reboot 2020 and Ghost Game, never say never. Also, I found this animation error long time ago, (5:47) Ken has the eyes of "Digimon Kaiser/Emperor", cuz if he and Davis/Daisuke working together, he should be with "kindness" eyes expression.
If they do a sequel they should go nuts and pull on multimedia. V-Tamer Taichi, Mameo, Mirei. Imagine "we need an army" and then Story, 02's International DigiDestined, and Xros crews just plain bring one in!
Damn that would be an army. Just adding in the tamer union from the ds games would add a huge amount of manpower. It have to be a crazy threat to need that kind of clap back but oh boy would it be epic to see the every main character from every piece of media lead an army of union tamers, international digidestined, hackers from cyberslueth etc etc. Absolutely wild idea and im all here for it.
@@Twilord_ i remember bemmon from digimon world 3s end goal was to fuse with the earth to become gaiamon, the most powerful digimon and go on a universe destroying tirade. A parallel timeline where he succeeded and went for the multiverse after would definitely count as an avengers level threat like that. Its supposedly so powerful that despite being made in 2003, they never even bothered giving it concept art because they are worried about writing themselves into a corner if it ever got used. The entire digimon multiverse team up would probably be a decent way to do it though idk where they would go from there. Either full reboot the series or shelf it. You cant even soft reboot and continue using the old canon like with adventure 2020 and tri canon because how do you one up it?
That is a great pick for a potential villain. Personally I am still curious about what happens with The Eaters post Cyber-Sleuth. I know they were reset but... they still exist, and the nature of their exist still raises questions.
@@Twilord_ based on in game dialogue I imagine they come from a world with a master eater that sends out lesser eaters to other worlds with a mother eater to give orders and they just hamlessly travel about unnoticed, collecting data and sending it home. The eaters we saw were all collectors and the mother eater was there to oversee them but they started to evolve like d-reaper and take it too far. I imagine before that they jusy copied the data and ate the memory of the interaction but im guessing it got way too curious about digimon evolution and decided to actually eat data or fuse with it which slippery sloped into attempting to consuming and assimilating the entire digital world and then going for earth. They are supposed to be like record keepers cataloging everything ever for some probably benign but unknown purpose. Maybe no reason at all even besides curiosity. Theres supposedly a new story game in the works. Maybe its part of the cyberslueth canon and they will expand on it.
The funny part is how we have like 3, 4 if you count the psp game, diferent versions of Taichi, the manga, the og anime, 2020 anime, and the psp videogame
I loved the crossover episodes so much and hoped they would last longer, though I always felt like Takuya was underwhelming. It kinda felt like we didn't see the same hype the other protagonists got and also being weakened. I still can't see why Aldhamon would be so ineffective against the enemy, while the other partner Digimon go in for a murder spree. Especially Susanoomon should have been able to do short process with the entire situation. Shinegreymon even is a Burst Mode, couldn't he have walked over all the Myotismons single handidly?
I have a new Digimon series in the works called "Digimon Making the Grade" where it has characters from ALL the Digimon seasons attending school while trying to save the Digital World!
Wow, I had no idea this existed. Glad you made the video and UA-cam's algorithm decided to suggest it to me. It's also a nice blast from the past for me having grown up with the very first season.
Xross hunters definitely was a mixed bag. Personally I preferred act2 of Xross wars the most (the death generals one) as that had the most coherent story. Hunters never felt right to me but I stuck with it and got rewarded with this and a newfound respect for the Xross wars story. Hard to believe it has already been over 10 years...
All this did is make me want to rewatch the whole series again. So much nostalgia. I thought this was going to be clickbait but the fact it's real would make this all worth it.
I hope they have another crossover ep with Parallelmon as villain and Taichi V Tamer as protagonist, oor Milleniummon as villain with Ryo as Protagonist. Both Taichi V tamer and Ryo is the only two protagonist that i know who can/sometime travel across the multiverse. Oh yeah, there's Rina Shinomiya too
@@flainfan Brazil... streaming services have different contents depending on region so I thought that this season was on crunchy but not on brasil crunchy
The first two seasons of xros wars were my first digimon shows so it's nice to see someone talking about it, I didn't really like the last season when I did watch it but this episode makes it just a little bit better
I remember seeing this on youtube in 2014 and thinking it was cool as hell and wanted to check out the season. It got me back into digimon and it will always be special to me.
I was a fan of the Xros Wars series, but I was not a fan of the young hunters' portion. But this crossover was indeed the best part of the fight at the end of it.
This season too kind it did something that you wouldn't believe. Three things in season two happened in the season three Carrie became a teacher Tokto mom Wanted to own a bakery in season two And the digimon king was In season two a foreign air deuce in season three as the king of digimon
I hadn't kept up with Digimon since the third season, but randomly decided to jump back in and watch the one with Marcus and then Xros wars (and caught up long before the crossover). Getting to watch this, and do so without really knowing that it was coming, was so exciting!
This was a really strange episode, but still a great one. Every digimon season is so different that when you combine their characters, it forms into something really nostalgic yet confusing. Definetly glad they did this though, I feel like bringing back the old characters is the best way to bring back lots of their audience.
I remember watching Hunters after Xros Wars brought me back into Digimon all those years ago, and back then, i didn't even know any of those legendary heroes other than Masaru/Markus, but even i can still feel the epicness of that moment, can't imagine the feeling of those who does. Truly, the only good thing to ever came out of Hunters (other than the OP song maybe)
I love being a Digimon fan! I still think that "Digimon Fusion - Season 3" should be dubbed in English now, and so do the other Digimon series & movies as well. Watching this crossover episode would be totally exciting for sure. I hope it gets dubbed in English soon. 💻📺🎙🎥🗽
Many fans never saw it because it never aired. The german dub of season 6 was so bad, they only released the first 30 episodes and we never got any other Digimon season here since. 😢
I actually rly enjoyed Xros war part 3 and rewatched it trice already. It has less episodes so it doesn't take too long to go through and it focus more on characters and their dynamic than Digimon battles, which as grownup is the part i enjoy more actually. Those cheesy one shot filler battle of many Digimon series has grown out of my preference now.
You explaining this is just what I needed. This is fuckin sick, thank you. And like you said it does suck that it's kinda buried in a season I very much skipped out on But I've loved all of the other seasons and this is very cool to see, especially all the call backs as well to the past seasons. Also that powerangers episode with all the red rangers was an amazing childhood moment for me, I wanna rewatch it now lol cuz I hadn't since like a little bit after its release probably
I read about this and decided to watch Xros Wars without knowing when this will happen. I thought they would "collect" the heroes. Boy was I wrong, and buckled in for an adventure!
i would love a sonic generations type beat where they have to fight buffed versions of past enemies but its just a full crossover season, would be difficult with voiceactors though
One thing that’s even cooler, is how the Xros Wars manga handles it! (Also, the way they make Taiki’s dream relevant, and explain how he got the dream-vision)
There are many other crossovers: - Taichi, Yamato and Sora from Adventures and Takato from Tamers made an appearance in Digimon World Re:Digitize -Mirei and Rina from Re:Digitize showed up in Cyber Sleuth, Cyber Sleuth: Hacker's Memory and World: Next Order - Next Order features the protagonist from the very first Digimon World game on the PS1 -Ryo from the Wonderswan meets V-Tamers Taichi and is the same one from Tamers -all the fighting games -Digimon masters - Adventure cast showing up in masters and rearise - Dorumon/Alphamon from the X movie is in Decode,Cyber Sleuth,Hacker's Memory -Ulforrceveedramon from V-tamer shows up in the Xross Wars manga as a Royal Knight -Sayo from Dawn/Dusk is also in Cyber Sleuth (as well as Super Xros Wars -Tri Meicoomon is in Next Order and Rearise - Savers cast are in are in DS, Dawn, and Dusk -the Digimon Next cast show up in Dawn and Dusk -Gotsmon and Pumpkinmon from adventure show up in a frontier drama cd (and its stated thats where their data was reborn, in the frontier universe) -Wizardmon and Tailmon from Adventure show up in the Xros Wars manga -All wonderswan games the Digimon Next cast also show up in World Championship -Digital Card Battle has the Adventure cast show up to fight Mameo -Digimon racing -the Adventure cast show up in cards in Digimon heroes, Jintrix and Collectors - Hackmon and Gankoomon from Adventure PSP show up in Cyber Sleuth and continue their story. -Daisuke from 02, Takuya from Frontier and Taichi from the Reboot meet V-Tamers Taichi
Watching this made me remember everything not the names and I don't recognize the others I only remembered the 5 teens who went to weird bullet train that can transform into a creature and maximum was 2 ,3 people looking like adults with monsters and they had a crossover with the 5 teens and digimon and also I remembered my baby memory like what all I saw was blurry and my dad saying I need to leave for work stay ok such good memorys😪
@@buster3041 I get that and I apologize if the wording was not what you wanted and i am aware that he had saved kari from the monocromon but some people just have a dislike for Davis so that was the people i was talking to.
Was always curious how this episode went down cause the snippets that went online were cool. Sadly never got around to it cause it was one of the seasons that was never dubbed. Shame too
When I figured to rewatch Digimon series, when I only at watched as kid on tv, on UA-cam. I didn't know about anime as somebody else from cartoons at the time. I found out about Digimon Data Squads/Savers and Digimon Fusion/Xross Wars. I watched Data Sqauds/Savers after Frontiers but when trying to watch Fusion/Xross Wars it wasn't dubbed to English so, at the time I couldn't get into it. Maybe when I got around Fusion/Xros Wars or earlier, I little by little I started understanding what is anime. And undertood that Digimon is anime. I guess at some point I need to re-watch Digimon series in Japanese with English subs when I have used to watching animes like that for long time.
Like you said this teamup aired at a time when Digimon was at a low point. Xros Wars wasnt received well and had some major issues and the sequel tried to fix a little bit of that, but didnt get enough time to do so and was rushed as hell. The second half of Xros wars hunters was dedicated to the team up and thats what everyone remembers about the season. The teamup was fucking awesome! However the rest of the show was forgotten and didnt matter all that much. Also Baguramon being the old man was a crazy reveal and people are argueing to this day if its true or not :D

@@1997Nightwing I see. I didn't know that! Gatekeeping perhaps on the Japanese' part?🤔
@@matthewloh19 not intentional gatekeeping just Digimon not being as popular or profitable in the west as in Japan unfortunately
Also Quartzmon is even worse than the D-Reaper in terms of the nightmare department.
Shouldn't Takuya have been able to absolutely dogwalk whatever the threat was? I feel like Susanoomon is always downplayed 😅
He has to be considering he's the one labeled as the strongest God of destruction. He who comes at the end to wipe the slate

They should have made this much longer giving each character a time to shine and everyone meet each other not just glimpses of them
I love Digimon... I frigging love it... and I had no idea this crossover even existed!
This video made me remember the absolute banger of a song for the crossover event which is called Legend Xros Wars, which I shall now go and listen to!
In my opinion Cross Wars (with japanese dub) was one of the stronger season of Digimon as whole. Sure it was something we had to get used to because there were no lfocus on evels anymore like Champion and Ultimate etc. But this way other digimon could shine a bit more here and there.
The cool thing was that in the Manga, Digimon Adventure and Cross Wars were connected without a certain event in adventure. Taiki wouldn´t have gotten his Cross Loader and therefore would have saved his digital world.
Xros Wars season 2 was episodic just like Ghost Game, but more cohesive.
Same director
I forgot how big Imperialdramon is that boys been drinking his milk
I remember it was great to see all protagonist all together and fight along side with each other, especially with Mimi and Rika/Ruki standing together. I still have hopes that Toei could do this again in the future with reboot 2020 and Ghost Game, never say never. Also, I found this animation error long time ago, (5:47) Ken has the eyes of "Digimon Kaiser/Emperor", cuz if he and Davis/Daisuke working together, he should be with "kindness" eyes expression.
When I noticed Owikawa's butterflies in the background i choked up.
I really loved the crossover so much it was cool seeing the characters interact together
If they do a sequel they should go nuts and pull on multimedia. V-Tamer Taichi, Mameo, Mirei.
Imagine "we need an army" and then Story, 02's International DigiDestined, and Xros crews just plain bring one in!
Damn that would be an army. Just adding in the tamer union from the ds games would add a huge amount of manpower. It have to be a crazy threat to need that kind of clap back but oh boy would it be epic to see the every main character from every piece of media lead an army of union tamers, international digidestined, hackers from cyberslueth etc etc. Absolutely wild idea and im all here for it.
@@Coomamon_Memes "Ultra Apocalymon Alter Quartz - The Eaten D-Reaper"
@@Twilord_ i remember bemmon from digimon world 3s end goal was to fuse with the earth to become gaiamon, the most powerful digimon and go on a universe destroying tirade. A parallel timeline where he succeeded and went for the multiverse after would definitely count as an avengers level threat like that.
Its supposedly so powerful that despite being made in 2003, they never even bothered giving it concept art because they are worried about writing themselves into a corner if it ever got used. The entire digimon multiverse team up would probably be a decent way to do it though idk where they would go from there. Either full reboot the series or shelf it. You cant even soft reboot and continue using the old canon like with adventure 2020 and tri canon because how do you one up it?
That is a great pick for a potential villain.
Personally I am still curious about what happens with The Eaters post Cyber-Sleuth. I know they were reset but... they still exist, and the nature of their exist still raises questions.
@@Twilord_ based on in game dialogue I imagine they come from a world with a master eater that sends out lesser eaters to other worlds with a mother eater to give orders and they just hamlessly travel about unnoticed, collecting data and sending it home. The eaters we saw were all collectors and the mother eater was there to oversee them but they started to evolve like d-reaper and take it too far. I imagine before that they jusy copied the data and ate the memory of the interaction but im guessing it got way too curious about digimon evolution and decided to actually eat data or fuse with it which slippery sloped into attempting to consuming and assimilating the entire digital world and then going for earth. They are supposed to be like record keepers cataloging everything ever for some probably benign but unknown purpose. Maybe no reason at all even besides curiosity. Theres supposedly a new story game in the works. Maybe its part of the cyberslueth canon and they will expand on it.
The funny part is how we have like 3, 4 if you count the psp game, diferent versions of Taichi, the manga, the og anime, 2020 anime, and the psp videogame
I loved the crossover episodes so much and hoped they would last longer, though I always felt like Takuya was underwhelming.
It kinda felt like we didn't see the same hype the other protagonists got and also being weakened. I still can't see why Aldhamon would be so ineffective against the enemy, while the other partner Digimon go in for a murder spree. Especially Susanoomon should have been able to do short process with the entire situation.
Shinegreymon even is a Burst Mode, couldn't he have walked over all the Myotismons single handidly?
REALLY wish we could've gotten this in English TBH.
It’s too bad we lost both Joe and Mimi’s VA.
It's still crazy how much bigger Imperialdramon fighter mode is compared to the other Digimon
I have a new Digimon series in the works called "Digimon Making the Grade" where it has characters from ALL the Digimon seasons attending school while trying to save the Digital World!
As someone whose introduction to Digimon was XROS, it's nice to see that season get some mentions lol
Wow, I had no idea this existed. Glad you made the video and UA-cam's algorithm decided to suggest it to me. It's also a nice blast from the past for me having grown up with the very first season.
Glad the video found you! Thanks UA-cam algorithm :)
Xross hunters definitely was a mixed bag. Personally I preferred act2 of Xross wars the most (the death generals one) as that had the most coherent story. Hunters never felt right to me but I stuck with it and got rewarded with this and a newfound respect for the Xross wars story. Hard to believe it has already been over 10 years...
if you notice at 3:54 you can see marcus dislocated arm for to much punching a digimon
Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. I didn't even know this existed until now, and I am glad I found out.
Hopefully we can get another crossover someday.
All this did is make me want to rewatch the whole series again. So much nostalgia. I thought this was going to be clickbait but the fact it's real would make this all worth it.
I hope they have another crossover ep with Parallelmon as villain and Taichi V Tamer as protagonist, oor Milleniummon as villain with Ryo as Protagonist. Both Taichi V tamer and Ryo is the only two protagonist that i know who can/sometime travel across the multiverse. Oh yeah, there's Rina Shinomiya too
yes!
The Digimon Cross Wars Crossover Eps.was Major fun for Digimon fans.
Its a shame that this part didn't got dubbed to english and other western languages.
😞
Yeah. Thankfully it’s on Crunchyroll so I was at least able to watched the subbed version.
@@flainfan Wait, what? What do you mean? Is it because you're from a different country?
@@eniobiondi2749 well what country are you from?
@@flainfan Brazil... streaming services have different contents depending on region so I thought that this season was on crunchy but not on brasil crunchy
The first two seasons of xros wars were my first digimon shows so it's nice to see someone talking about it, I didn't really like the last season when I did watch it but this episode makes it just a little bit better
I remember seeing this on youtube in 2014 and thinking it was cool as hell and wanted to check out the season. It got me back into digimon and it will always be special to me.
0:02 Woo Yeah We See his channel Icon, That's what we're waiting that's it all about WOO
I was a fan of the Xros Wars series, but I was not a fan of the young hunters' portion. But this crossover was indeed the best part of the fight at the end of it.
This season too kind it did something that you wouldn't believe.
Three things in season two happened in the season three
Carrie became a teacher
Tokto mom Wanted to own a bakery in season two
And the digimon king was In season two a foreign air deuce in season three as the king of digimon
I hadn't kept up with Digimon since the third season, but randomly decided to jump back in and watch the one with Marcus and then Xros wars (and caught up long before the crossover). Getting to watch this, and do so without really knowing that it was coming, was so exciting!
Bruh...wtf I never knew this even existed...Holy moly this is amazing, I almost started crying.
Never knew about this episode. Thanks from an old fan who remembers forever red.
This was a really strange episode, but still a great one. Every digimon season is so different that when you combine their characters, it forms into something really nostalgic yet confusing. Definetly glad they did this though, I feel like bringing back the old characters is the best way to bring back lots of their audience.
Forgot about it and wondered if you had covered it super early in the channel nice content
I remember watching Hunters after Xros Wars brought me back into Digimon all those years ago, and back then, i didn't even know any of those legendary heroes other than Masaru/Markus, but even i can still feel the epicness of that moment, can't imagine the feeling of those who does. Truly, the only good thing to ever came out of Hunters (other than the OP song maybe)
Good timing with explaining this since we get the pack all about this cross over, BT12 in the English Digimon Card game later this month.
Xros wars is my favorite season. the second season of Xros wars was absolute hype from start to finish.
The best digimon series cant change my mind
Toei Animation and Studiopolis need to create an uncut Eng. dub of Xros Wars, seasons 1-3! (On DVD, Blu-ray or Digital)
This episodes is what made me want to watch the anime
I love being a Digimon fan! I still think that "Digimon Fusion - Season 3" should be dubbed in English now, and so do the other Digimon series & movies as well. Watching this crossover episode would be totally exciting for sure. I hope it gets dubbed in English soon. 💻📺🎙🎥🗽
omg the feels. takes me way back to the 90s
Many fans never saw it because it never aired. The german dub of season 6 was so bad, they only released the first 30 episodes and we never got any other Digimon season here since. 😢
I actually rly enjoyed Xros war part 3 and rewatched it trice already.
It has less episodes so it doesn't take too long to go through and it focus more on characters and their dynamic than Digimon battles, which as grownup is the part i enjoy more actually.
Those cheesy one shot filler battle of many Digimon series has grown out of my preference now.
Epic video and thank you for making it ❤️👍
You explaining this is just what I needed. This is fuckin sick, thank you. And like you said it does suck that it's kinda buried in a season I very much skipped out on But I've loved all of the other seasons and this is very cool to see, especially all the call backs as well to the past seasons. Also that powerangers episode with all the red rangers was an amazing childhood moment for me, I wanna rewatch it now lol cuz I hadn't since like a little bit after its release probably
That forever red episode is on the official power rangers channel here on UA-cam! Thanks for watching my vid
@@thedigiknow sick! Well thanks again. Love your content
I read about this and decided to watch Xros Wars without knowing when this will happen. I thought they would "collect" the heroes. Boy was I wrong, and buckled in for an adventure!
I’m a weirdo. I’m also a die hard digimon fan. I really enjoyed Xwars. I thought it was cool. The third season is where I was fully invested.
I’ve never seen these episodes and man I’m gonna watch it because as I watched this review maaaaan I got chills
i would love a sonic generations type beat where they have to fight buffed versions of past enemies but its just a full crossover season, would be difficult with voiceactors though
Aw man were those Power Ranger crossovers something
Very cool stuff I never got into that series of Digimon but yeah that's awesome!
Oh, I remember that crossover fondly.
the thing i like is someone made a edit of this cross over adding in the og evolution clips from the seasons there from
One thing that’s even cooler, is how the Xros Wars manga handles it!
(Also, the way they make Taiki’s dream relevant, and explain how he got the dream-vision)
It almost makes you forget that hunters almost killed the series.
If people would also give Applimon a chance, then they will also see [SPOILER]
********

I adore Hunters more than I liked the rest of Xros Wars so I’m happy to see this! 💖
Its basically the Legendary War for Digimon.
Watching this made me remember everything not the names and I don't recognize the others I only remembered the 5 teens who went to weird bullet train that can transform into a creature and maximum was 2 ,3 people looking like adults with monsters and they had a crossover with the 5 teens and digimon and also I remembered my baby memory like what all I saw was blurry and my dad saying I need to leave for work stay ok such good memorys😪
I think this helped to answer the question of why Tai chose Davis as his successor in 02
No it didn't. We already know why he chose davis.
@@buster3041 well for me it wasn't clear but i would like to know the reason your talking about.
@@wyattheadrick9528 Did u not see when he got them? It was for being brave and taking action.
@@buster3041 I get that and I apologize if the wording was not what you wanted and i am aware that he had saved kari from the monocromon but some people just have a dislike for Davis so that was the people i was talking to.
Was always curious how this episode went down cause the snippets that went online were cool. Sadly never got around to it cause it was one of the seasons that was never dubbed. Shame too
This crossover was enjoyable but very weird when I first saw it.
When I figured to rewatch Digimon series, when I only at watched as kid on tv, on UA-cam. I didn't know about anime as somebody else from cartoons at the time. I found out about Digimon Data Squads/Savers and Digimon Fusion/Xross Wars. I watched Data Sqauds/Savers after Frontiers but when trying to watch Fusion/Xross Wars it wasn't dubbed to English so, at the time I couldn't get into it.
Maybe when I got around Fusion/Xros Wars or earlier, I little by little I started understanding what is anime. And undertood that Digimon is anime.
I guess at some point I need to re-watch Digimon series in Japanese with English subs when I have used to watching animes like that for long time.
Davis will always be my favorite goggles, Tai #2,Marcus 3, Takatomon 4
but Marcus..
Those crossover episodes are the only ones that I watched of that season. Such a hype🤣
I think that it would be cool if there was an entire season about the protagonists going around and recruiting the past heroes.
We'll need to wait 2000 years first for the dream to come true
Like you said this teamup aired at a time when Digimon was at a low point. Xros Wars wasnt received well and had some major issues and the sequel tried to fix a little bit of that, but didnt get enough time to do so and was rushed as hell. The second half of Xros wars hunters was dedicated to the team up and thats what everyone remembers about the season. The teamup was fucking awesome! However the rest of the show was forgotten and didnt matter all that much.
Also Baguramon being the old man was a crazy reveal and people are argueing to this day if its true or not :D
Let ryo and Ken meet again God dammit 😢
Technically, there was a kind of a cross over, but not really in season 2-3
