* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Crusadermon has a borderline ridiculous case of this, not helped by multiple instances of InconsistentDub. [[note]]In the Japanese, the character's name is a source of confusion, as the katakana characters can be read as either [=LordKnightmon=] or [=RhodoKnightmon=] - a pun, since rhodonite is the character's color. In the ''Savers'' dub, the character was renamed to ''[=LoadKnightmon=]'', [[ExecutiveMeddling apparently at the request of Toei Animation themselves]] [[/note]].
** There's also the terminology question of "Rose Morning Star" or "Venus Rose" for ''Bara no Myoujou''. (The dub goes with the former, and is probably a more accurate translation, but the part of the fandom that follows the Japanese version has latched onto the latter.)

Added DiffLines:

* NamedByTheDub: Tommy's older brother is unnamed in the original Japanese, but the English version gave him the name Yutaka. This is an actual Japanese name and also [[SignificantAnagram an anagram of main character's name Takuya]], [[MeaningfulName symbolizing how Takuya is Tommy's honorary brother]].

Too fantastical to be considered realistic.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: At the start of the series we saw dozens of kids entering the Digital World, as [[TheChooserOfTheOne Ophanimon]] wasn't able to single out who was best qualified to become the Legendary Warriors and sent TheCall out to dozens of them. After she found the right candidates she sent the other kids a message telling them to go back home. Most of them did, but late in the series we see that, of course, some didn't. This proved bad for them as right after they appear, they learn how dangerous staying in the Digital World is when you aren't the main characters.

** There's an interesting case related to Cherubimon's voice actors. Paul St. Peter voiced Diaboromon in ''Anime/DigimonTheMovie'', and by extension, the Diaboromon-infected ([[DubText at least in America]]) Kokomon, and Cherubimon (Kokomon's highest form), and he is later casted as the first ''Frontier'' BigBad, Cherubimon. When he returns to Lopmon, St. Peter is taken over by Creator/MichelleRuff, who was ''Tamers''[='=] Lopmon, in a similar "former agent of darkness reverted to friendly" setting.
** And much like the aforementioned Brian Donovan did in ''Tamers'', Melissa Fahn does the narration in ''Frontier'' in her Rika voice from ''Tamers''. When she leaves, Brian Beacock continues the narration as Bokomon.

* LoveTriangle: Zoe is at the center of what amounts to a love-polygon involving her peers. Officially, Junpei has a blatant crush on her and she comes very close to confessing an attraction to Takuya[[note]]In turn, he mentions he likes her, though his reaction to his own statement creates ambiguity over whether he meant it in a romantic context or just flubbed a statement of LoveYouAndEverybody. He later has a dream involving them on a date, though.[[/note]].

* WhiteIsPure: the main antagonist is a digimon named Lucemon: an angelic-looking, blue-eyed blonde boy who wears a white toga. Again, he evokes the imagery of purity associated with angels in popular culture (white robes, golden hair).

* FusionDissonance: The forms achieved through Fusion Spirit Evolution are normally created by mixing and matching parts from the earlier Human and Beast Spirit Evolution forms (which, in the toyline, also have an alternate combination representing the ancient Digimon who created them). However, supplemental material includes Fusion forms for the supporting cast which [[ToylessToylineCharacter couldn't possibly be replicated by a toy]] - e.g. the Ice fusion combining a snowman and a [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti yeti]] into a [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins penguin]].
