Unfortunately, a crow steals the Digivice, preventing it from being found. (''Anime/DigimonAdventure'') |
| 643 | * August 2: |
| 644 | ** The seven Chosen Children meet up to discuss plans to search for their eighth member, mainly through using phone books to see if anyone moved from Hikarigaoka to Shibaura, along with searching the area of Shibaura themselves. However, they come up with very few leads, and fight the rampaging [=DeathMeramon=] when it attacks the Tokyo Tower. Meanwhile, Vamdemon's minion Tailmon is found by Hikari, who recognizes her as a Digimon. Tailmon attempts to kill Hikari just in case she may be the eighth Chosen Child, but relents. (''Anime/DigimonAdventure'') |
| 645 | ** That night, Yamato supervises Takeru as he travels home to Shibuya. There, they find Pumpmon and Gotsumon, two minions of Vamdemon who are more interested in causing mischief in Shibuya than fighting the Chosen Children. However, Vamdemon kills them for their insolence, leading an infuriated Yamato and [=WereGarurumon=] to battle Vamdemon, with Takeru and Angemon helping drive him off. Later that same night, Tailmon — with the help of her trusted companion Wizarmon — recovers the eighth Digivice and realizes that she is the eighth chosen Digimon, with Hikari being her partner. Tailmon and Wizarmon reveal all this information to Taichi and Hikari before the two attempt to steal the Crest of Light from Vamdemon, but this attempt results in Wizarmon seemingly drowning in the Tokyo Bay, and Tailmon being captured to be used as bait. Vamdemon then puts his plans into motion, creating a barrier of fog isolating Odaiba from the outside world. (''Anime/DigimonAdventure'') |
| 646 | * August 3: |
| 647 | ** Under Vamdemon's orders, swathes of evil Digimon invade Odaiba and round up its inhabitants. The adults and children of Odaiba are separated by Vamdemon so that he may find the eighth Chosen Child. The Chosen Children eventually manage to escape one by one and work hard to fight off Vamdemon's forces, while Wizarmon is recovered from the waters alongside the Crest of Light. Despite the other Chosen Children's attempts to protect her, Hikari eventually gives herself up to Vamdemon's forces in exchange for everyone's safety, reuniting her with Tailmon and proving that she is indeed the eighth Chosen Child. The other Chosen Children attempt to rescue Hikari and Tailmon, but fail to adequately harm Vamdemon, who has become stronger due to his VampiricFeeding of Tokyo's residents. Vamdemon's attempt to kill Hikari and Tailmon is thwarted by Wizarmon [[HeroicSacrifice taking the brunt of the attack]], however, and the anguish the two feel allows Tailmon to super-evolve into Angewomon. With the combined powers of all the Chosen's Digimon, Vamdemon's physical form is destroyed. However, the fog barrier around Odaiba remains. (''Anime/DigimonAdventure'') |
| 648 | ** The children are told by their ally and mentor Gennai about a prophecy that "the undead Digimon king will reveal his true form as the beast", and at exactly [[NumberOfTheBeast 6:06:06 PM]], Vamdemon revives in the form of [[OneWingedAngel VenomVamdemon]]. As [=VenomVamdemon=] is even more powerful than ever before, the children consider the rest of the prophecy about how "the angels will let fly the arrows of hope and light at the loved ones of whom they are to protect", and surmise that Angemon and Angewomon need to shoot arrows at the loved ones of Takeru and Hikari respectively — Yamato and Taichi. With this, Gabumon and Agumon gain access to their warp-evolutions of [=MetalGarurumon=] and [=WarGreymon=], who proceed to lead the final fight against [=VenomVamdemon=], seemingly ending his threat for good. (''Anime/DigimonAdventure'') |
| 649 | ** However, the Real and Digital Worlds [[RealityBleed begin to spill into]] each other, causing chaos all over Earth. Koushiro realizes that despite the children only having spent a few days in the Real World, [[YearInsideHourOutside years have passed in the Digital World]] — and thus its distortions have only gotten worse in the meantime without them being around to fix them.
