History Trivia / DigimonTamers

** Notably Pajiramon, whose English voice is a homage to Kate Mulgrew - Captain Janeway of ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. Mary Elizabeth [=McGlynn=], who voiced Pajiramon and was this season's voice director, had guest-starred in a ''Voyager'' episode.
** Impmon's dub voiceover is a very deliberate imitation of Joe Pesci. Interviews also reveal that Beelzemon's voiceover was originally supposed to mimic Sylvester Stallone, but this was scrapped due to ExecutiveMeddling and he ended up with a voice somewhere in-between Pesci and Stallone.

* TheOtherMarty: In one of the English dub promos, Takato is voiced by Creator/BrianDonovan. In the series proper, he is voiced by Creator/BrianBeacock.

** In the UK, Creator/{{ITV}}'s CITV block only aired the first 5 episodes before pulling it completely, likely due to its darker nature. Oddly enough, they were aired as the block was airing 02 during its Christmas arc (implying this may have been to satisfy some sort of legal requirement).

* TheCastShowOff: Good thing Orikasa Fumiko and Melissa Fahn can really sing, or otherwise Ruki might not have had a song all to herself in the second movie.

* TalkingToHimself:
** Aoi Tada as Terriermon and Lopmon; Creator/YukaImai as Renamon, Rika's mother, and Rika's grandmother; Creator/SteveBlum as Guilmon, Kenta, ''and'' Yamaki (all except the latter are in the Japanese version). Ebonwumon has one head does most of the talking, including on behalf of the other.
** Juri and the D-Reaper, naturally. That was kind of the point.
** In the English dub, Jeri and her stepmother are both voiced by Creator/BridgetHoffman.

* CreatorBacklash: Creator/ChiakiKonaka [[https://twitter.com/yamaki_nyx/status/942767590274772997 apologized]] in 2017 for killing Leomon and starting the RunningGag of one Leomon dying per continuity, noting that if he ever did return to the franchise, he'd have Leomon survive to break the tradition.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Notably Pajiramon, whose English voice is a homage to Kate Mulgrew - Captain Janeway of ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. Mary Elizabeth [=McGlynn=], who voiced Pajiramon and was this season's voice director, had guest-starred in a ''Voyager'' episode.

* NamesTheSame: Juri shares her full name with a character from ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'', another series written by Creator/ChiakiKonaka. Their family name "Kato" is written with the same kanji, though this Juri's given name is written with kanji while ''Lain'''s Juri's name is written in katakana.

* FanNickname: Fans nicknamed the Jeri-Type Agent of the D-Reaper the "J-Reaper".
** Another common fan nickname (at least in the US) is "Scary Jeri."

* FollowTheLeader: A Deconstruction of a highly popular {{Mon}}s series, that doesn't pull any punches in being realistic and happens to be the third chronological installment? [[Manga/PokemonAdventures Where have we heard that before?]] Also a Subversion: ''Digimon Tamers'' has plenty to set it part from ''[=PokeSpe=]'', and other ''Digimon'' series.

* AcclaimedFlop: Despite being one of the favorite series among older Digimon fans, ''Tamers'' actually did incredibly poorly with its target demographic, with children either finding the themes too dark or frightening. It's thought this is why [[Anime/DigimonFrontier the next anime series]] was so drastically different from the base Digimon formula.

** In the UK, ITV's CITV block only aired the first 5 episodes before pulling it completely, likely due to its darker nature. Oddly enough, they were aired as the block was airing 02 during its Christmas arc.

** Konaka [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally did not intend for Suzie Wong to become a Tamer]]. However, when he saw that the animators included her in the opening with a digivices, he decided to give her one in the show. A lot of her comedy moments were this, too-- the character designer "couldn't stop" drawing pictures of her playing with Terriermon, and Konaka felt "it would be criminal" not to use them. See Chiaki J. Konaka's character notes [[http://www.konaka.com/alice6/tamers/characters/shaochung-e.html here]].

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: If you want to get the original Japanese dub but live outside of Hulu's supported territories (the USA and Japan), you'll have to get it online from unofficial sources as the Japanese [=DVDs=] are out-of-print. The American dub got a complete season Region 1 DVD release on June 2013, and the Japanese version finally got a Blu-Ray release in 2018. If you want to watch it subbed legally and can't access Hulu, you're still out of luck.

** The official Japanese dubs with English subtitles are available on Hulu, which currently only serves the USA and Japan.

* NamesTheSame:
** Try to find out the difference between Henry/Jenrya and Jeri/Juri. [[MindScrew You'll hurt your head instantly.]] This stands out a lot because they are the main characters in the ''same series'', unlike the gogglehead heroes.
** The fact that in the German and Spaniard dubs Juri was renamed "Jen", which was Jenrya's nickname in the Japanese version, is [[DubInducedPlotHole the opposite of helpful]].
** Juri shares her full name with a character from ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'', another series written by Creator/ChiakiKonaka. Their family name "Kato" is written with the same kanji, though this Juri's given name is written with kanji while ''Lain'''s Juri's name is written in katakana.

** In the English dub, Jeri and her stepmother are both voiced by Creator/BridgetteHoffman.

* AliceAllusion: Alice [=McCoy=], the mysterious, possibly dead DeusExMachina. She's also a blonde goth-girl, for extra points. Writer Chiaki J. Konaka [[Anime/SerialExperimentsLain favours]] this trope.

* RuleThirtyFourCreatorReactions: In one of his live blog post, series creator Konaka has [[https://slutforchocorobos.tumblr.com/post/649728816183427072/chiaki-j-konaka-is-liveblogging-tamers-on-twitter warned people about not searching for Renamon with safe search turned off]].
