History ShoutOut / DigimonAdventure

* ''Our War Game'' has two kids fighting against a killer digimon against the clock because the said mon, which is essentially a sentient computer program, is planning to fire nukes that it got access to by hacking the military. [[Film/WarGames Even the name gives a clue to a certain 80's movie]].

* [=WarGreymon's=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3AvtpRCt2s Brave Tornado]] is one to Anime/CombattlerV's Choudenji Spin while his Terra Force is one to Manga/{{Dragonball}}'s Spirit Bomb.

* Angemon's design is officially based on Kakugo from ''Manga/ApocalypseZero'' while Devimon's design references the titular protagonist of Creator/GoNagai's ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'', but this is not the only reference.
