History YMMV / DigimonTamers

** Although you have to admit, who can blame them? The movie averts the [[spoiler: BittersweetEnding]] and continues from the [[spoiler: OrIsIt]], whereas the CD Drama goes with the former and retcons the latter.

** Some could argue that the CD drama is [[NoExportForYou only canon to the original Japanese version]], as the dubs are adaptations of it and some already have somewhat [[NeverSayDie significant]] [[ShesAManInJapan differences]] from the Japanese. Although some would consider it a stretch to think of dubs as separate parallel universes.

* FanDumb: Due to their complexity, [[PowerTrio Takato, Ruki, Jenrya,]] [[TheWoobie Juri,]] and CanonImmigrant [[TheAce Ryo]] are perhaps the most misunderstood and misinterpreted characters in the franchise. Ryo especially, since he has a ton of baggage from his video game series that Western fans just do not have any access to.

** Some could argue that the CD drama is [[NoExportForYou only canon to the original Japanese version]], as the dubs are adaptations of it and therefore can be considered non-canon themselves, fitting into the very same section as the movie.

** Renamon is often depicted as a StoicWoobie in FanFiction.

* MagnificentBastard: Makuramon and Caturamon
* FanNickname: "J-Reaper" for ADR-01

* * FanonDiscontinuity: As mentioned elsewhere, the CD drama which [[spoiler: retconned the second movie]]. The fans, however, gleefully ignore it.

* GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: Rika's Grandmother, who looks rather young to be a grandma. justified in that Ruki's Mom had Ruki when she was just 17.

* GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: Rika's Grandmother, who looks rather young to be a grandma.

* CanonSue: Ryo falls into this at times.
** It's a lot better if you consider Ryo's video game backstory - besides having a ''lot'' more experience than the other tamers (four games worth), he's the 9th ''[[DigimonAdventure Adventure]]'' Digidestined, defeated Milleniummon four times when nobody else could (except for Ken, who was the only person who actively fought alongside Ryo, and that was just in ''Tag Tamers''), endured a ''lot'' of crap (including a HeroicBSOD due to the other Digidestined ''lying to him''), worked with multiple Digimon at a time when everyone else only goes with one partner, and pretty much saved the multiverse by himself. Plus, he earned himself a reputation before the tamers meet him.
*** And YourMileageMayVary; but most people actually view those as traits as to why Ryo is a CanonSue.
*** If you think about it, his situation was rather tragic, in the sense that he could have refused to have Cyberdramon for his partner; nevertheless, because he stayed with him, not only did he ''chose'' to leave his family for an extended period of time, he forced himself to literally whip his partner to keep him from harming others and himself; It's not something he enjoys doing, nor does he do so to make Cyberdramon his slave. It's tragic because that's in his partners nature, thus there's nothing that he, himself can do; can you imagine Rika, Henry or Takato having to do that to their respective partners?
*** Additionally that he was in the Tamers digital world roughly since the last card tournament. If it is a yearly one, then he was in the digital world for at least ''a '''year''' and a half'', when the entire Tamers season takes place in about 8 to 10 ''months''. Plenty of time for him to learn about the digital world and deal with angst. (again, he was there because he chose to). He also has flaws that were shown in the series, but like most of the characterisation are very subtle. He may look like one, but as a character there is no bias in his favour; About Justimon ... I don't know why, but in Message in a Packet he knows that he is made of data, so it's not like he needed Dobermon's gift. Note that this is regardless whether or not he is from the wonderswan games.

* {{Narm}}: Takato's rousing of Guilmon in episode 23 is... awfully silly. '''"MAAAAAAAAAA!!"'''
* SliceOfLife: This ''is'' what [[WordOfGod Chiaki Konaka wanted]], and succeeded spectacularly, at introducing in the series. If it adds to the series or it is boring [[YourMileageMayVary depends on the viewer.]]
** To clarify, it does not depend on the viewer whether or not slice of life is present since it is a clear motif of the drama (especially in the early episodes), by opposition to Adventure and 02, when the closest it came to was the Myotismon arc in Adventure, but even then the focus was on how everyone would react to an extreme situation (much like the D-Reaper arc actually). What is in question is whether or not that is a ''good thing''. It does not belong in the YMMV section by definition of the trope.

** Impmon has a couple Woobieish moments, too. Even despite the times when he's been a CompleteMonster.

* CanonSue: Ryo falls into this [[{{Understatement}} sometimes]].

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Suzie Wong/Lee Shiuchon, Henry's kid sister. She actually forces [[spoiler:her eventual partner, Antiramon,]] into a HeelFaceTurn through ''[[{{Moe}} sheer cuteness]]''.

* DarkerAndEdgier: A common critique of this season by some fans.
** It's also ''praised'' for being DarkerAndEdgier...
