!!Provides the [[ImageSource Page Image]] for the following tropes:
* BloodUpgrade

*** Stefano Billi replaces Massimiliano Alto as Tentomon.

** Production was a giant pile of ExecutiveMeddling and CreativeDifferences, causing the situation that they were forced to propose, rewrite and abandon mountains of ideas on the fly while the series was being produced. You could clearly note it on how some episodes and events smell of AbortedArc while some others have ArcFatigue painted all over it.

** The Dark Ocean was introduced by guest writer Creator/ChiakiKonaka and was originally supposed to be used as a larger plot point. The rest of the writers then proceeded to mostly ignore it. In addition, the Ocean itself was originally planned for ''Adventure'', but was postponed to 02.

** Creator/CristinaHernandez was replaced as both Gatomon and Mark by Tamara Guzman.

** In the Japanese version, [=BelialVademon=]/[=MaloMyotismon=] is voiced by Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa, rather than Creator/RyuzaburoOtomo who did Vamdemon in the first series.

* FanNickname: The fake Divermon are referred by fans as the "Digital Deep Ones".

** The entire season owes its existence to this, as the head writer of Adventure didn't want to create a sequel.

** In the English dub, Sora and Matt's sudden dating. The dub clearly favored Tai/Sora with constant teasing (including giving Tai an unrequited crush on Sora) while Matt/Sora got the short end of the stick with Matt acting like a jerkass. Comments from the original writer of Digimon Adventure indicate his general distaste for the pairing of male and female leads and he'd originally meant for Yamato and Sora to have a much stronger bond and foreshadowing of their eventual marriage. That said, there was still enough wiggle room for legitimate dissent of opinion. The Japanese voice cast for Sora, Mimi, and Gabumon (!) indicated in personal comments their surprise when it turned out Sora and Yamato would become a new couple, with [[WordOfStPaul Sora's actress indicating she figured Sora could be more open and straightforward around Taichi]].
** Matt being an astronaut in the epilogue is actually a leftover plot thread from an idea abandoned in production -- a third year of Digimon Adventure was supposed to have [[http://jippy-kandi.tumblr.com/post/53629782203/digimon-adventure-02-epilogue-jobs-matt-sora enemies from space]], but it was never picked up and we got ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' instead.

** The original plan was for Daemon was to be a BigBad, but it couldn't happen.

** In the Italian dub, Stefano Billi replaces Massimiliano Alto as Tentomon. Also, [=MaloMyotismon=] is voiced by Gerolamo Alchieri, instead of Paolo Marchese like the original series's Myotismon.

** In the Italian dub, Paola Majano voices both Davis and Matt.

* IGotBigger

** Yolei's dub actress also voices Biyomon.

** In the series itself, Nimoy and his co-writer Bob Buchholz were instructed by Fox Kids to make the series "funnier" which annoyed a lot of fans. Eventually Jeff and Bob left the show due to frustrations with Fox's demands. Fox Kids must have backed off afterward because the final eight episodes of the season were noticeably less GagDub.

** For ''Revenge of Diaboromon'', Creator/JasonSpisak replaced Joshua Seth as Tai Kamiya and Bridget Hoffman replaced Laura Summers as Patamon. These were the only major instances of the trope despite ''Adventure 02'' having finished airing four years before '''and''' Saban Entertainment no longer being involved in the dubbing. It's an ActorAllusion in Hoffman's case because she voiced Patamon in ''Anime/DigimonFrontier''.

** In English, Creator/DerekStephen Prince does the voices of both Ken and Veemon. The trope gets played as early as episode 2, when the Emperor taunts the captured Digimon.

** Anna Garduno, the voice of Palmon, was replaced towards the end of the series, since Anna was commuting from New York by that time. Philece Sampler, the voice of Palmon's partner Mimi, voiced Palmon in episode 47; Dorothy Elias-Fahn, who voiced Palmon's ultimate form Lillymon, took over as Palmon for episode 50; the finale of the series.

** Early character design sketches in ''02'' showed a lot more alternate outfits Mimi would have, including one with a DreadlockRasta. Thankfully, some of them didn't make it into the final draft, and the most unfortunate we got was the one with the FunnyAfro.

** In the original Japanese version, Creator/MegumiUrawa voices both Iori/Cody and his partner Armadimon. This is the first, and to date only, time that a Chosen Child and their Digimon partner have been voiced by the same person.
** In English, Prince also does the voice of Veemon. The trope gets played as early as episode 2, when the Emperor taunts the captured Digimon.

* CreativeDifferences:
** The two head writers for this series Genki Yoshimura and Atsushi Maekawa had two very different styles of writing, Maekawa's being story driven light-hearted stories, and Yoshimura's being character driven darker stories, both were told to write in their own preferred styles. This lead to them not seeing eye to eye on how the story should go, which resulted in a lot of fillers, to cover up for the time where they couldn't come to an agreement.
** Meanwhile, the head writer for Adventure, Satoru Nishizono, left the Digimon project because he didn't want a sequel to be made for his series.
** Much of the main staff including Creator/ChiakiKonaka couldn't stand the executive meddling anymore, and so were ready to break their contracts and leave the project, but Bandai, unwilling to let them do this, gave them [[Anime/DigimonTamers their own series]] to mess around with instead.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: Averted - the show overestimated something like the D-Terminal showing up in 2002/2003.
** Nodded to in the movie, Diaboromon Strikes Back. In Diablomon's first appearance, Our War Game, he manages to cripple Taichi and Koushirou by infiltrating the phone company and clogging everyone's modem. In DSB, Daisuke at one point nearly breaks into the Internet by borrowing some stranger on the street's laptop.
