History FanFic / DigimonTrinity

* DramaPreservingHandicap: The ''Adventure'' cast are subject to this all over, via various methods. Functionally, it's so that the ''Tamers'' retain importance in a retelling of their own story. Examples include Takeru being intentionally obstructive to his former teammates ability to help the new kids. Several of the cast like Cody, Matt, and Joe are often elsewhere due to their jobs, and Mimi [[spoiler: and later Yolei]] being pregnant also is limiting. Some of the battles also have been escalated in difficulty with additional enemies or stressful factors, giving the older generation other things to manage while the Tamers take care of the main MonsterOfTheDay.

** The Vikaralamon incident's stakes are ballooned UpToEleven when [[spoiler: the digimon that were seen just ominously hovering the dimension-torn sky in the TV show version of the episode end up ''actually bio-emerging'']] making the battle even more destructive and necessitating as many Digidestined as possible to get involved in the fight.

* DoppelgangerReplacementLoveInterest: Tai, in the digital world, keeps on-and-off contact with Rei, a girl who is [[spoiler: the digital clone of Sora that Datamon created back in ''Adventure'']]. Rei has none of Sora's memories but all of her mannerisms, making Tai feel exceedingly guilty that he can't tamp down his attraction to her since it feels not only unfair to Rei, but also like he's betraying both Sora and Matt.

** Tai still hasn't fully gotten over Sora. Matt calls him out on this, wondering if it's at least one reason why Tai decided to vanish without contacting anyone for 15 years.

* AdultFear:
** Your child could get assaulted for befriending a Digimon [[FantasticRacism because some people hate them and any human who befriends them]].
** Several characters reference the "Crier Incident" in passing, indicating that [[Anime/DigimonDataSquad Keenan]] is already lost in the Digital World, with his parents having no idea about [[WildChild what's happened to him]].

* CastingGag: A large number of the CanonWelding decisions seem to be the result of similar character designs, the dub's casting choices, and in some cases ''both''.
** Yamaki strongly resembles an older TK. Riley shares the same voice actor as Yolei. Nami Asaji is a teacher much like Kari grew up to be, who both resembles her and has the same dub voice actor as her.
** Jeri's mother [[spoiler: turning out to be Keiko Kurata]] is bolstered by the fact their character designs are similar.
** [[spoiler: Marcus and Kristy turning out to be Rika's half-siblings]] is likely due to the fact they all have red hair and Rika shares her dub voice actor with the latter.

* RealityEnsues: Digimon are clearly equal to humans in both mental and emotional ways therefore Rika's casual killing and uploading of various Digimon's data makes her a murderer and criminal.
** Rika takes [[spoiler: Renamon's working for the Nightmare Soldiers as part of their plot to corrupt the girl]] ''extremely'' badly and doesn't care [[BecomingTheMask how much coming to care for her has changed that]].

** The Digimon Sovereign's of ''Adventure'' are also the Sovereign's of ''Tamers''. One plot thread involves them wondering why one of them (Zhuquiaomon) seems to have become an antagonist.

'''''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11065291/1/Digimon-Trinity Digimon Trinity]]''''' is a ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' FanFic written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1162566/Crazyeight Crazyeight]], best known for the ''Fanfic/TamersRequiem'' series.

** There is extensive incorporation and discussion of concepts that exist in the greater digimon franchise that are either barely touched on or absent from the anime, such as the Digital Hazard's presence on Guilmon's body and Calumon's forehead bearing the Zero Unit symbol. There is also brief mention that the ''02'' cast can swap digi-eggs for different armor evolutions. The fact that Renamon and Impmon are both species classified as Nightmare Soldiers in lore is also taken advantage of to give Tamers' Renamon and Impmon a pre-existing affiliation.

** Rather than Yamaki's singleminded attitude that all digimon are dangerous and must be destroyed, the justification for Takeru taking the same actions as him is that he's operating under [[spoiler: a misguided belief that the Deva's are agents of darkness spawned from the Dark Ocean, and therefore must be destroyed]].

** [[Anime/DigimonDataSquad Miki and Megumi]] work for Ken at his Digimon detective agency.

** Aside from merging series canons, the fic brings in elements from the Japanese version of digimon canon despite using the english dub as the main base, such as mentioning events from the Drama CD's and turning ''Tamers'' Japanese song themes into aspects of a new prophecy.

* StoryBreakerPower: Subverted. The older generation are still the more experienced battlers with greater powerups at their disposal. But due to them having scattered ranks and having a lot of other things on their plates, they often come into a battle after it's been going on for awhile already, or encounter some sort of snag that limits their ability to help, so they ultimately don't come off as overpowered. Some battles have also had their stakes escalated by additional factors to increase the situation's overall difficulty and give the Digidestined other things to manage while the Tamers handle the main baddie of the day. It's also explained that [[OldSuperhero their powers have diminished as they've grown older]], which makes it more difficult for their digimon to access their most powerful forms on a regular basis, so they simply don't have the same capacity to wipe the floor in fights as they used to.

** Replacing Yamaki with TK is facilitated by capitalizing on the more uncomfortable aspects of TK's personality that were seen in ''02'' but not explored en-length, namely the trauma he harbors from losing Patamon, and his intense hatred of the powers of darkness.

** Bokomon comments that he noticed that recently, digimon seemed to cease digivolving naturally in the digital world, which is reference to te fact that Calumon, who is eventually revealed to be the living embodiment of the power of digivolution, no longer resides in the digital world.

* VillainOfAnotherStory: Impmon is repeatedly hinted [[spoiler: and eventually confirmed]] to be Beelzemon of the Seven Great Demon Lords, who apparently lost his memories upon rebirth. The Demon Lords, in turn, were major antagonists of the GreatOffscreenWar the Digidestined fought in which resulted in the destruction of Tentomon's physical body and Patamon's death.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: The D-Reaper makes its initial debut ''much'' earlier, with parties both in the real and digital world first encountering it as early as Takato's school camping trip (episode 16). Although no one knows what it is yet, and its capacity to do any real harm is currently limited to the digital world.

** The Digimon Sovereign's of ''Adventure'' are also the Sovereign's of ''Tamers''.

** Yamaki strongly resembles an older TK. Riley shares the same voice actor as Yolei and has the same hair color as her. Nami Asaji is a teacher much like Kari grew up to be, who both resembles her and has the same dub voice actor as her.

* DarkerAndEdgier: As an AU of a Digimon season that was ''already'' quite dark for its target audience, the fic takes away any pulled punches regarding more serious topics. Besides the bleak original backstory that turns the ''Adventure'' Digidestined into war-torn veterans, serious injuries and body counts also are explicitly shown to occur after some of the bigger battles (eg. Vikaralamon's invasion kills numerous civilians and lands Davis and Matt in the hospital). Additionally the psychological impact the battles are having on the children and the older Digidestined is explored more indepth.

Examples include Takeru being intentionally obstructive to his former teammates ability to help the new kids.
