* BondVillainStupidity: More than once the villains have the opportunity to eliminate the children in short order, but prefer to engage in more MonsterOfTheWeek shenanigans instead of directly engaging them. The Dark Masters are the biggest example since they start off averting this trope; they ''do'' intend to kill the heroes immediately after capturing them the first time, but after being thwarted by a HeroicSacrifice and despite it being shown they can locate the kids easily, they'd rather let their significantly less competent minions do the work from then on.

*** Tai went right up to Shellmon and jabbed at his foot with an improvised javelin.
*** Matt dove into the lake from shore to get to the other kids on the island (mostly for T.K.'s sake, but still).
*** Sora herded the many Yokomon down into the old ship, making sure they were all safe before following.
*** Izzy hacked into Tentomon's digital DNA.
*** Mimi got tired of hiding her bad mood.
*** Joe leaped right onto Unimon to try and save the younger kids by pulling out the black gear manually.
*** T.K. was a kid who didn't really have the sense to run when he should've, but may have been holding out hope and it worked in his favor that one time.

* MonTech: Digivices are used by the Digidestined to channel their emotions so their Digimon partners can Digivolve. They can evolve to Champion independently, but being supported by their Crests and the bond with the Digimon allows them to Digivole to Ultimate and then Mega.

** Played straight with the dub of the first OVA: even aside from it being accompanied with OVAs for later seasons, already causing info overlap ("Why is the show about kids that were in high school at the end of the movie?"), the somber, quiet tone inspired by the original Godzilla movies is completely removed, making it feel more like an extended battle for the actual series, complete with Digimon calling their attacks.

* ADogNamedPerro: Gatomon in the English dub of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' is an example of this, as Gato means cat in Spanish. Likewise many other Digimon, including Kabuterimon (kabuto is beetle in Japanese), Angemon (angel), Tyrannomon (Tyrannosaurus rex), Andromon (android), and Leomon (leo being lion in Latin). The mon part in all Digimon names just means monster.

* CatFight: Both the original series at its sequel features famous cat fights between Angewomon and [=LadyDevimon=]. Although both are among the most powerful Ultimate Digimon in the series whose signature moves are ranged attacks that blasts enemies with their respective holy and dark powers, their fights take the form of a slapping, hair-pulling cat fights. Ordinary [[HolyBurnsEvil type advantages]] also seem suspended for these fights, with [[ScissorsCutsRock [=LadyDevimon=] narrowly but consistently overpowering Angewomon]], forcing Angewomon's allies to save her. [[GirlOnGirlIsHot The boys are infatuated with the fight]], while Hikari cheers on Angewomon like a soccer mom.
