* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Rarity and Ken both have had nightmares of [[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW Nightmare Rarity]] and the Digimon Emperor taunting them of things that will happen should they fail to save the Digital World from Vespimon.
** [[spoiler:Chapter 49 has Twilight dreaming about [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Sunset Shimmer]] sneaking into her library back in Equestria to try and steal Twilight's crown like in canon, only to end up making a DealWithTheDevil with Daemon, who hints that he's planning on making a team of PsychoRangers to the Elements of Harmony.]]

* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn]]: In case it wasn't obvious, [[spoiler:Vespimon is Fluttershy]].

* [[spoiler:[[TheManBehindTheMan The Mon Behind the Mare]]: According to [[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW Nightmare Rarity]], Dragomon was behind the corruption of the moon's inhabitants into the Nightmare Forces, thereby making him responsible for the acts of Nightmare Moon and Nightmare Rarity.]]
** [[spoiler:And then there's Vespimon/Fluttershy, who's an UnwittingPawn to Daemon and Dragomon.]]
* [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone My Celestia, What Did I Almost Do?]]: Upon arriving in the Digital World, Twilight is attacked and injured by a group of Dark Ring-wearing Gazimon and attempts to use a disintegration spell on them to no effect. Once Davis and Veemon explain the Digital World and Dark Rings to her, she has this reaction to the idea that if her spell had worked, she'd have killed innocent creatures whose only crime was being BrainwashedAndCrazy.
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: Spiral Twister was a classmate of Rainbow Dash's in flight school who had feather rot, causing her to have to have her wings amputated. Rainbow was there when she suffered the attack that caused her to have to go to the hospital for the amputation, causing her to believe that if she'd known about it, she'd have been able to prevent Spiral Twister from losing her wings.]]

* WhamLine:
** At the end of Chapter 43, when Vespimon comes to a major epiphany:

* YearInsideHourOutside: Vespimon has somehow managed to restore the time dilution effect of the Digital World that was reset following Apocalymon's defeat at the end of ''Adventure''.

** [[spoiler:BiggerBad [[BigBadDuumvirate Duumvirate]]: Daemon and Dragomon]]

** Chapter 31 has the team encounter [[Theatre/PeterPan Petermon and his friend Tinkermon]]. [[spoiler:Like their ''Series/OnceUponATime'' counterparts, they turn out to be EvilAllAlong.]]

** [[spoiler:Chapter 49 has Twilight dreaming about [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Sunset Shimmer]] sneaking into her library back in Equestria to try and steal Twilight's crown like in canon, only to end up making a DealWithTheDevil with Daemon.]]

-->'''Vespion:''' [[spoiler: They're real. Digimon are '''real.''']]

* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: As of Chapter 43, Vespimon has taken over Myotismon's old castle as her headquarters.

* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:Dicovering the dying Gotsumon in the dungeons of Myotismon's palace after Myotismon [[{{Bowdlerise}} banished him and Pumpkinmon there]] causes Vespimon to realize that Digimon actually are real.]]

*** Veemon later is able to put up an even fight against [[spoiler:Tinkermon]] (who previously incapacitated all of the other rookie-level digimon with relative ease) with nothing more than quick thinking and good reflexes.

* TheCameo: [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/DigimonWonderswanSeries Millenniummon]]]] appears briefly in Ken's nightmare.

** Chapter 31 has the team encounter [[Theatre/PeterPan Petermon and his friend Tinkermon]].

* CurbStompBattle: Vespimon in her shadow form almost effortlessly takes out both Aquilamon and Stingmon.

* WeakButSkilled: Veemon and his evolutions aren't shown to be especially powerful compared to others of the same level, but he makes up for it in fighting prowess. In-universe, he describes himself as a [[http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/Combat_Species combat species]], making him this.
** Thanks to his skill, Flamedramon lasts the longest of any champion-equivalent digimon against [=CaptainHookmon=], though it takes the brief intervention of Pegasusmon and Nefertimon as well as [[spoiler:[=CaptainHookmon's=] mast collapsing onto him]] to finally turn the tide in Flamedramon's favor.
** Veemon later is able to put up an even fight against [[spoiler:Tinkermon]] (who previously incapacitated all of the other rookie-level digimon with relative ease) with nothing more than quick thinking and good reflexes.

* BigDamnHeroes: Almost immediately upon arriving in the Digital World, Twilight is surrounded by Dark Ring-wearing Gazimon, her magic having no effect on them at all. Cue Veemon dashing in and [[CurbStompBattle singlehandedly taking them out]].

* ContinuityNod: Twilight and Davis encounter a [[OriginalCharacter fan-made Digimon]] by Zennistrad named Spikedramon, who resembles Spike in his [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E10SecretOfMyExcess greed-growth state]].

* MythologyGag: The ponies use [[Anime/DigimonFrontier Spirit Evolution]] as their Digivolving process.

* ShoutOut: Rarity's Digimon form, Kelpiemon, has attacks based off [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Keldeo]]'s Hydro Pump and Secret Sword.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Vespimon almost immediately upon taking power goes out of her way to eliminate any possible threat to her from the Digi-Destined.
** First, she upgrades the control spires so that they not only prevent digivolving, but forcibly de-digivolve any partner digimon that enters its effect radius, almost completely shutting out the original generation Digi-Destined out of the picture.
** She then builds a special dark ring specifically designed to home into Gatomon that, upon attaching itself, will cause Gatomon's tail ring to expend all of its power to remove the dark ring, thereby eliminating the power source for DNA digivolutions.
** Finally, she hides her true form in a fortress that is completely inaccessible by normal means, instead using a RemoteBody made out of [[CastingAShadow pure darkness]] to interact with the outside world, preventing the Digi-Destined from confronting her directly.

** Vespimon has [[CurbStompBattle defeated Aquilamon and Stingmon]] and is about to finish them off when Rainbow Dash arrives to back her new friends up.

It isn't long afterwards that the Digidestined become aware of a new threat to both worlds: A Digimon calling itself Vespimon, who seeks to finish what Ken started as the Digimon Emperor...

* PaperThinDisguise: Davis and the rest of the Digidestined decide to pass the ponies off while on Earth by saying they're Digimon. It helps that Digimon are becoming more known to the human population in the wake of [=MaloMyotismon's=] attack on both worlds.
* RunningGag: When the rest of Digidestined receive Davis' message about Twilight and her friends, they think he's either lying for a practical joke or on drugs.

First, she upgrades the control spires so that they not only prevent digivolving, but forcibly de-digivolve any partner digimon that enters its effect radius, almost completely shutting out the original generation Digi-Destined out of the picture. She then builds a special dark ring specifically designed to home into Gatomon that, upon attaching itself, will cause Gatomon's tail ring to expend all of its power to remove the dark ring, thereby eliminating the power source for all of the new generation Digi-Destined's most powerful digivolutions.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler:Fluttershy, the Element of '''Kindness''', is being corrupted into conquering the Digital World, just like Ken, the Digidestined of '''Kindness''' was.]]

* WeakButSkilled: Veemon and his evolutions aren't shown to be especially powerful compared to others of the same level, but he makes up for it in combat skill. In-universe, he describes himself as a [[http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/Combat_Species combat species]], making him this.

** Following Pinkie Pie's Harmonic Evolution into Shinobimon, Kari says that she'd never thought Pinkie could turn into a Digimon. Pinkie's response: "Are you saying you didn't...''[[Manga/{{Naruto}} believe it]]''?"

** Veemon later is able to put up an even fight against [[spoiler:Tinkermon]], who previously incapacitated all of the other rookie-level digimon with relative ease.

* MyGreatestFailure: Spiral Twister was a classmate of Rainbow Dash's in flight school who had feather rot, causing her to have to have her wings amputated. Rainbow was there when she suffered the attack that caused her to have to go to the hospital for the amputation, causing her to believe that if she'd known about it, she'd have been able to prevent Spiral Twister from losing her wings.

** Rainbow Dash's extreme loyalty to her friends is explained as guilt over feeling like she'd abandoned someone in need (see MyGreatestFailure above) as a young filly. This makes her backstory nearly identical to [[Anime/DigimonXrosWars Taiki]] (Mikey in the dub). The chapter where this is revealed is even titled "Hottokenai", after Taiki's catchphrase in Japanese.

* TreacherousAdvisor: [[spoiler: Petermon.]]
* UnreliableExpositor: Fluttershy is told that [[BlatantLies the Digital World was created by a program Twilight made to oversee ENEIGHAC's core functions, who then developed self-awareness and used ENEIGHAC's power to create a simulated world to observe the evolution of life.]] Said A.I. now wants Fluttershy to enter the Digital World because it desires a change of pace. The person telling her all this? [[spoiler:Dragomon]]

** Yuuko Kamiya's infamous LethalChef combinations are no match for Pinkie Pie's BigEater appetite.
