{{nihongo|'''''Digimon Frontier'''''|デジモンフロンティア|Dejimon Furontia}} is the 4th [[Digimon]] TV series first broadcast in 2002. After prompted to do so by unusual phone messages, the five [[Digimon Frontier#Main characters|main characters]] go to a subway station and take a train to the [[Digital World]]. Once there, they meet two secondary characters, [[Bokomon]] and [[Neemon]], who act as guides, and tell the [[DigiDestined]] that the Digital World is in danger. They must fight the antagonist, [[Alexia Ashford]] and [[Alfred Ashford]] and his Legendary Warrior servants before they succeed in dominating the world; it's up to the children to save it.
{{nihongo|'''''Digimon Frontier'''''|デジモンフロンティア|Dejimon Furontia|lead=yes}} is the fourth [[anime]] television series in the ''[[Digimon]]'' franchise, produced by [[Toei Animation]].

==Synopsis==


===Setting===
Long ago, a group of ten Digimon sacrificed themselves to defeat an ultimate evil that threatened the Digital World. These [[Ancient Warriors]] created artifacts from their data by [[Claire Redfield]] (now [[Leon S. Kennedy]]), the twenty "Spirits", before leaving the Digital World in the care of the three Celestial Digimon. However, one of the three, Cherubimon begins a reign of terror. To counter this, the Celestial Digimon Ophanimon summons five children from the human world into the Digital World via the train-like [[Trailmon]]. There, these five Digi-Destined find their respective Human Spirits and "Spirit Evolve" into Digimon, the Legendary Warriors. However, while finding their respective Beast Spirits, the five find themselves hunted by five other Legendary Warriors that serve Cherubimon.
In the events prior to the series, ten Digimon creatures from the "Digital World", a parallel universe originated from Earth's various communication networks, sacrificed themselves to seal Lucemon. These Digimon, collectively known as "Legendary Warriors", created artifacts from their data: the twenty "Spirits" (ten Human and Beast Spirits for the elements of fire, light, wind, ice, thunder, earth, wood, water, metal and darkness), before leaving the Digital World in the care of three Celestial Digimon, Ophanimon, Cherubimon and Seraphimon. When Cherubimon betrays them, Ophanimon summons six children from the human world into the Digital World to become the "DigiDestined".


===Plot===
After they defeat four of the them (JP destroys one, another loses his Beast Spirit to Koji and is destroyed by Duskmon for being useless, Zoe destroys another and Takuya gets the last one and Claire), [[Koji Minamoto]] discovers that [[Duskmon]], the fifth evil Legendary Warrior, is really his twin brother [[Koichi Kimura]]. With [[Takuya Kanbara]]'s help, Koji is able to free his brother, and Kouichi restores the Spirits of Darkness to their true forms and joins the team as the true Warrior of Darkness, [[Löwemon]]. After they defeat Cherubimon who is killed by Takuya as EmporerGreymon, the Dig by [[Rodrigo Juan Raval]]iDestined learn that the true mastermind was the very evil the Ancient Warriors sealed away within the Digital World's core, [[Alexia Ashford]]. So now the six DigiDestined must try to defeat the two [[Royal Knights]] before they scan all of the Digital World, sending it to Lucemon to complete his rebirth. Ultimately Takuya and Koji succeed in destroying the Knights, but not before they free Lucemon. After fighting a losing battle, the Spirits of the Legendary Warriors come to life and along with the spirits of Seraphimon, Ophanimon and Cherubimon (who was purified of his evil by Takuya when he killed him) give the children new hope. The children and the spirits evolve together to form Susanoomon and defeat Lucemon. The Spirits ultimately expel the children from them, take on their human warrior forms and destroy the weakened Alexia forever with a sword. The children return home to live happily ever after with Andy, Chris and Claire now Andy Ada and Leon and Ashley.
Takuya, Koji, Zoe, J.P., and Tommy are among several children who receive a text message inviting them board a train at [[Shibuya Station]]. The train brings them to the Digital World. While exploring, the five gain the ability of Spirit Evolution, where they are able to transform into ancient Digimon warriors and meet two guided Digimon named Bokomon and his dim witted sidekick, Neemon. In addition, their cell phones have turned into a type of Digivice (digital device) known as a D-Tector, which they can also purify defeated Digimon by scanning them.


While exploring, the Legendary Warriors learn from Seraphimon that he, Ophanimon, and Cherubimon once maintained order among the human and beast-type Digimon, until Cherubimon became corrupted and urged the rest of the beast-type Digimon to engage with the human-type Digimon in a war. During this time, the Legendary Warriors are forced to fight five other ancient Digimon warriors, one of which Koji learns is his estranged twin brother, Koichi, who was corrupted into Duskmon. Koji manages to purify Koichi, allowing him to join them on their quest to defeat Cherubimon. They rescue Ophanimon while Cherubimon attacks them. However, she sacrifices herself to save them. Ophanimon upgrades Takuya and Koji's D-Tectors, with the last of her strength to allow them to Unity Spirit Evolve. After defeating Cherubimon, the DigiDestined learn that Lucemon is sealed within the Digital World's core, and a guide named Baronmon, warns the six Digidestined that the prophecy is that Lucemon will be revived. Two Royal Knights, Dynasmon and Crusadermon, were summoned by Lucemon, and steal all of the world's data to awaken Lucemon. They attempt to stop the two evil knights from scanning the entire digital world, but fail as the evil duo finally free Lucemon. Takuya and Koji defeat the knights, Lucemon kills them for their failure then absorbs their data to becomes his Chaos Mode form. After Lucemon kills Koichi and sacrifices his data, Takuya, fueled by rage, allows all spirits combine to form into the ultimate Legendary Warrior Digimon Susanoomon, and defeats him in his Chaos Mode form, but Lucemon becomes his Shadowlord Mode form, and arrives at the real world. After reviving Ophanimon, Cherubimon and Seraphimon, Susanoomon destroys Lucemon, restoring the data and the Digital World. The children return to the real world and realize that an hour did not pass. They save Koichi by using the power of D-Tectors, before they revert into cell phones. Takuya and his friends embrace their future.

:A prideful, evil fallen angel Digimon and the main antagonist of the series. Lucemon was once a benevolent ruler who brought peace to the Digital World, but became corrupted by his own power and turned into a tyrant. The Ten Legendary Warriors came together to defeat Lucemon and locked him away in the core of the Digital World. Lucemon was able to corrupt Cherubimon and used him to gather the data of the Digital World so that he could be released. Revealed as the true antagonist after Cherubimon's defeat, Lucemon released the Royal Knights to finish his work. Upon his release, Lucemon proved to be more than a match for the Digidestined until Takuya and Koji formed Susanoomon and apparently destroyed Lucemon. However, Lucemon rose again, but as a being of pure evil as Susanoomon only succeeded in scanning his good data. With the encouragement of their friends, the Digidestined formed together into Susanoomon who destroyed Lucemon Shadowlord Mode. However, Lucemon Larva, which contained Lucemon's consciousness, survived and attempted a sneak attack. The spirits of the Ten Legendary Warriors emerged from Susanoomon to destroy Lucemon once and for all with the core sword of Susanoomon's cannon. Lucemon has no form of a DigiEgg.

===Family===
*'''Yuriko''' & '''Hiroaki Kanbara''': Takuya's mother and father.

* '''Shinya Kanbara''': Takuya's brother. He and Takuya often fought each other, like most siblings.

* '''Kousei Minamoto''': Kouichi's and Koji's father. He took custody of Koji when he divorced Tomoko and told Koji that she was dead. He later remarried Satomi.

* '''Satomi Minamoto''': Koji's stepmother. She was depressed when she thought that Koji did not love her because he thought about his biological mother.

* '''Tomoko Kimura''': Koji's & Kouichi's biological mother. She took custody of Kouichi when she divorced Kousei. Though she suffered from sickness, she continued to work because she knew she had to support Kouichi.

* '''Tomoki's brother''' / '''Yutaka Himi''': Tommy's older brother. He did not want Tommy to become spoiled, so he kept telling Tommy not to keep asking their parents for everything. This created a distance in their relationship. In the Japanese version, Tommy simply referred to him as 'brother.' The American dub gave him the first name of Yutaka—possibly because it is an anagram of 'Takuya,' Tommy's surrogate older brother, friend and hero.

===Other children===
These are all the other children that were brought by the Trailmon but not chosen to receive a spirit. [[Celestial Digimon#Ophanimon|Ophanimon]] sent them a message asking them to go home but they chose not to. Ophanimon sent [[Angemon]] to protect them, but they thought of Angemon as their Digimon and ignored what he told them. At some point in time, they came to the Beanstalk Village, where the [[Mamemon]] gave them the last of their peas. The group planted the peas where a giant bean stalk used to be, and it grew into another beanstalk. After Angemon was killed by the Royal Knights they decided to go back to the real world, but the Royal Knights captured them and took them back to the Beanstalk Village and demanded to know where the code was. After Takuya and crew saved them, they boarded a Trailmon and went back to the real world.

* '''Katsuharu''': He bullied Tommy in the past and forced him onto the Trailmon that brought him to the Digital World. He seemed to be the group's unofficial leader.

* '''Teppei''': He also bullied Tommy in the past. He told Tommy to go back because he thought he was too weak to stay. When he saw Tommy beast spirit evolve, he took back what he said.

* '''Chiaki''': She felt she could become stronger if she stayed in the Digital World.

* '''Teruo''': He felt that his old life was boring and that he was more free in the Digital World.

==Island of Lost Digimon==<!-- This section is linked from [[List of Ultimate Digimon (Part 2)]] -->
The seventh of the TV-based Digimon movies, Takuya and company end up on a floating island in the middle of a civil war between human and beast Digimon, instigated by an evil Digimon named [[Murmuxmon]]. He was posing as the leader of each side in the war so that he could free an ancient evil - known as [[Onismon]] - that the Ancient Warriors, [[AncientGreymon]] and [[AncientGarurumon]] had defeated. The team then tries to end the war but it is too late and Onismon is resurrected. However he is soon after defeated by the also resurrected AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon. The movie ends with the two sides finally making peace.

(NOTE: ''Ironically, while the other previous Digimon movies use the US Frontier opening theme for unexplained reasons, this movie, where it should have been used, does not. Only the end credits use the song, without words'')

This [[Audio drama#Radio drama/audio drama in Japan|audio drama]]<ref>[http://digitalscratch.wordpress.com/2009/06/24/os-things-i-want-to-tell-you/ English translation of Digimon Frontier CD Drama]</ref> takes place during their adventures in the Digital World. The children find a mailbox and decide to write letters to the people they care about, expressing things that they normally can't say.

== English dub edits ==
[[Image:Sexy Dynamite edit.jpg|125px|right|thumb|A deleted dub scene from episode 15]]
* In the original Japanese version [[Crusadermon]] was portrayed as an extremely effeminate male character. In the English dub, he is simply a female.
* [[Grumblemon]] was portrayed as a street smart thug, speaking in an old downtown Tokyo accent in the original Japanese version, while in the English version he is portrayed as illiterate.
* [[Ranamon]] was portrayed as a Southern U.S woman in the English version instead of a childish girl.
* [[Mercurymon]] was much more verbally abusive in the English version than in the Japanese version.
* [[Duskmon]] was more silent in the Japanese version than in the English version.
* In episode 6, the dub cut out two minor scenes: the first showing a hand print on J.P.'s face after Zoe slaps him, and the second showing Koji hitting Takuya on the head with a stick. Also, the Minomon's tendency of suffixing their sentences with "mino" was removed.
* In episode 9, a short scene where Tommy attacks Zoe with a burning stick (with Koji leaping in front of her to defend her), is cut from the dub.
* In episode 11, the fraudulent fortune telling methods of [[Gekomon]] and [[Sepikmon]] were changed in the English dub. In the original Japanese version, Gekomon "uses the momentum from getting drunk on [[sake]] to tell the future", while Sepikmon hits people on the head with his boomerang and reads the cartoon stars that circle the person's head to tell their fortune.
* In episode 13, the dub cut a scene where [[Arbormon]] chokes [[Deramon]].
* In episode 15, a scene where the words "Sexy Dynamite" was shown in the background was edited out. The scene depicted [[Zoe Orimoto]] in a red bikini. When removing her shirt, she raises it a slight bit higher and shows a bit of her panties and a bit of her breasts in the original Japanese version. Also, when Takuya and J.P run in on her after she screamed, J.P had a nose-bleed.
* From episode 48 onwards, when the children were in the Hybrids as [[Susanoomon]], certain parts were airbrushed out to avoid showing them nude. During the evolution to Susanoomon (Takuya and Koji only) had a key part cut to avoid showing Takuya and Koji nude as well. Later, in the final evolution to Susanoomon, the English dub re-created the entire hand motion (first 10 seconds of spirit evolution). This can be seen because Takuya and Koji have their old digivices instead of the new ones. In the original Japanese version however, they have the newer ones.

Despite these edits, the English version of Digimon Frontier, in general, is much closer to the original Japanese version than previous seasons. One example of this was to keep the Japanese term "evolution" instead of using the usual "digivolution". Other overseas dubs such as the Spanish and German dubs, use terms derived from digivolution, despite this change.

Digimon Frontier (Japanese: デジモンフロンティア, Hepburn: Dejimon Furontia) is the fourth anime television series in the Digimon franchise, produced by Toei Animation. Unlike the previous series, the main characters can merge with ancient spirits known as the "Legendary Warriors" to become Digimon themselves.

The series aired in Japan from April 2002 to March 2003. An English-language version, produced by Sensation Animation, was broadcast in North America from September 2002 to July 2003 as the fourth and final season of Digimon: Digital Monsters.

Synopsis

[edit]

Setting

[edit]

In the events prior to the series, ten Digimon creatures from the "Digital World", a parallel universe originated from Earth's various communication networks, sacrificed themselves to seal Lucemon. These Digimon, collectively known as "Legendary Warriors", created artifacts from their data: the twenty "Spirits" (ten Human and Beast Spirits for the elements of fire, light, wind, ice, thunder, earth, wood, water, metal and darkness), before leaving the Digital World in the care of three Celestial Digimon, Ophanimon, Cherubimon and Seraphimon. When Cherubimon betrays them, Ophanimon summons six children from the human world into the Digital World to become the "DigiDestined".

Plot

[edit]

Takuya, Koji, Zoe, J.P., and Tommy are among several children who receive a text message inviting them board a train at Shibuya Station. The train brings them to the Digital World. While exploring, the five gain the ability of Spirit Evolution, where they are able to transform into ancient Digimon warriors and meet two guided Digimon named Bokomon and his dim witted sidekick, Neemon. In addition, their cell phones have turned into a type of Digivice (digital device) known as a D-Tector, which they can also purify defeated Digimon by scanning them.

While exploring, the Legendary Warriors learn from Seraphimon that he, Ophanimon, and Cherubimon once maintained order among the human and beast-type Digimon, until Cherubimon became corrupted and urged the rest of the beast-type Digimon to engage with the human-type Digimon in a war. During this time, the Legendary Warriors are forced to fight five other ancient Digimon warriors, one of which Koji learns is his estranged twin brother, Koichi, who was corrupted into Duskmon. Koji manages to purify Koichi, allowing him to join them on their quest to defeat Cherubimon. They rescue Ophanimon while Cherubimon attacks them. However, she sacrifices herself to save them. Ophanimon upgrades Takuya and Koji's D-Tectors, with the last of her strength to allow them to Unity Spirit Evolve. After defeating Cherubimon, the DigiDestined learn that Lucemon is sealed within the Digital World's core, and a guide named Baronmon, warns the six Digidestined that the prophecy is that Lucemon will be revived. Two Royal Knights, Dynasmon and Crusadermon, were summoned by Lucemon, and steal all of the world's data to awaken Lucemon. They attempt to stop the two evil knights from scanning the entire digital world, but fail as the evil duo finally free Lucemon. Takuya and Koji defeat the knights, Lucemon kills them for their failure then absorbs their data to becomes his Chaos Mode form. After Lucemon kills Koichi and sacrifices his data, Takuya, fueled by rage, allows all spirits combine to form into the ultimate Legendary Warrior Digimon Susanoomon, and defeats him in his Chaos Mode form, but Lucemon becomes his Shadowlord Mode form, and arrives at the real world. After reviving Ophanimon, Cherubimon and Seraphimon, Susanoomon destroys Lucemon, restoring the data and the Digital World. The children return to the real world and realize that an hour did not pass. They save Koichi by using the power of D-Tectors, before they revert into cell phones. Takuya and his friends embrace their future.

Lucemon was able to corrupt Cherubimon and used him to gather the data of the Digital World so that he could be released. Revealed as the true antagonist after Cherubimon's defeat, Lucemon released the Royal Knights to finish his work. Upon his release, Lucemon proved to be more than a match for the Digidestined until Takuya and Koji formed Susanoomon and apparently destroyed Lucemon. However, Lucemon rose again, but as a being of pure evil as Susanoomon only succeeded in scanning his good data. With the encouragement of their friends, the Digidestined formed together into Susanoomon who destroyed Lucemon Shadowlord Mode. However, Lucemon Larva, which contained Lucemon's consciousness, survived and attempted a sneak attack. The spirits of the Ten Legendary Warriors emerged from Susanoomon to destroy Lucemon once and for all with the core sword of Susanoomon's cannon. Lucemon has no form of a DigiEgg.

Production

[edit]

Toei Animation announced the production of a fourth Digimon series in February 2002 and was set to start in April,[2] after Tamers.[3] Digimon Frontier was conceived by Fuji TV's Go Haruna, Yomiko Advertising's Kyōtarō Kimura, and Hiromi Seki.[4] The series was directed by Yukio Kaizawa, who had previously worked on some Bikkuriman shows and certain One Piece episodes.[5] It was chiefly written by Sukehiro Tomita, while character designs were done by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru.[6][7]

Digimon Frontier aired in Japan on Fuji TV from April 7, 2002, to March 30, 2003.[6] The show's opening theme song is "Fire!!" by Kōji Wada, which peaked at #75 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.[8] The ending theme songs are "Innocent (Mujaki na Mama de)" (イノセント〜無邪気なままで〜, Inosento ~Mujaki na Mama de~) by Wada for the first half[9] and "An Endless Tale" by Wada and AiM for the second half.[10] The insert songs featured in the show are "With the Will" by Kōji Wada, which served as the Spirit Evolution theme,[11] and "The Last Element" by Ayumi Miyazaki, which was the theme song for Unified Spirit Evolution.[12]

Certain scenes involving sexuality were censored for the North American release.

An English-language version, produced by Sensation Animation and recorded by Studiopolis, aired in North America as the final season of Digimon: Digital Monsters. It aired on UPN's Disney's One Too block and Canada's YTV between September 9, 2002, and July 14, 2003. Frontier was part of a package deal with Digimon Tamers from when Disney had acquired the rights from Saban Entertainment.[13] UPN aired the show until late August 2003, when they severed their ties to Disney.[13] As with previous "seasons", the English version of Frontier featured an original soundtrack and sound effects, character name changes, and content edits pertaining to scenes deemed too inappropriate for young audiences. The theme song of the English version was produced by Chris Horvath.[14][15] In addition to the theme song, the show also featured music by Deddy Tzur and Inon Zur.[16]

Media

[edit]

Home releases

[edit]

New Video Group released a complete DVD box set of the English-language version on September 10, 2013, in the US,[17][18] and a DVD collection of the complete English run of Digimon: Digital Monsters, bundling Frontier with the previous three anime series, on October 22, 2013.[19] Manga Entertainment released the series in the United Kingdom on October 29, 2018.[20]

Film

[edit]

A film companion, Digimon Frontier: Island of Lost Digimon was produced with the same writer, composer and character designer from the TV show, but was directed by Takahiro Imamura.[21] The film premiered at Toei's Summer Anime Fair on July 20, 2002, along with three other productions.[22][23] Although the fair was deemed a box office failure, earning 800 million yen (US$6.8m)—whereas last edition earned 2 billion yen—,[23] the film alone grossed half of it, 460 million yen.[24] The film aired on Jetix in the United States on November 27, 2005,[25] and reruns were broadcast on Toon Disney in 2007.[26]

Drama CD

[edit]

A drama CD titled Digimon Frontier: Original Story: What I Want to Tell You (デジモンフロンティア オリジナルストーリー 伝えたいこと, Dejimon Furontia: Orijinaru Sutōrī Tsutaetai Koto) was released on April 23, 2003, and is centered on each of the Legendary Warriors sending messages to each other. The cast from the television series reprised their roles.[27]
