Synopsis

With his fogbank barrier isolating the Odaiba district of the city, Myotismon searches for the eighth child, using Phantomon and his minions to round up the district's inhabitants, including Sora, Mimi, Tai and Matt. Joe and T.K. desperately try to find a way into Odaibo. Meanwhile, Sora blasts a self-help tape at Phantomon's spooks, neutralizing them. But this only works temporarily and, with the arrival of the towering Dark Tyrannomon, things look bleak until Togemon transforms into Lillymon, and tames the beast. Sora is reunited with her estranged mother as Lillymon takes on the evil Myotismon himself.

Production notes

This episode is the first to feature the activation of the Crest of Sincerity and the debut of Palmon's Ultimate Digivolution Lillymon.

This TV series originally ran for 54 episodes.

"Digimon" refers to "digi[tal] mon[sters]."

Three 25-minute mini-features were released theatrically in 2000 as holiday specials in Japan. These were combined for release in the United States as the "Digimon Movie." The Screen Actors Guild in the U.S. launched a legal challenge to production company Saban over residual rights for the movie, arguing that voice acting was a skill that deserved better working conditions.

Afterward, a second season was named "Digimon 02" and ran for 50 20-minute episodes. Set three years later, it introduced the character Buimon.

"Digimon Tamers," a third series, started in April 2001. It was set in the "near-future" year of 200X.
