History WMG / DigimonAdventure

* WMG/DigimonUniverseApplimonsters

This section covers the very first series of the Digimon anime, Digimon Adventure. For [=WMG=] regarding the entire franchise, go [[WMG/{{Digimon}} here]]. For [=WMG=]s specific to another work, go to the following:

[[WMG: Apocalymon is MissingNo.]]
Apocalymon's existance causes distortion. Sound familiar? Also, in the Japanese version, the Digimon Scanner says that no one's even sure if it's even a Digimon. MissingNo is filler data, and therefore considered a glitch Pokemon, or something that shouldn't exist.

Aside from the fact that they look scarily, scarily similar (This troper saw a commerical for Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories years ago; Kairi was featured at the very end. I seriously thought she was Kari), as well as their similar (Romanized/English dub) names, Kairi wasn't born on Destiny Islands/whereever it is that Sora and Riku grew up. She also said at the beginning of the first game that she doesn't remember her hometown, leaving her origins up in the air. Also, amongst the Digidestined, Kari is rather special. Aside from abilities mentioned above, her crest, Light, is the only crest that can't be immediately interpreted as a character trait. Kairi is one of the seven Princesses of Heart, and has a pure-hearted personality. So, in an alternate universe where the events of Digimon Adventure and Adventure 02 never happened, Kari was sent to live with her grandma on the islands for... whatever reason. There, she met Sora and Riku, and since they were pretty little then, Sora couldn't pronounce her name right, so he started calling her "Kairi" and the nickname stuck.

* This troper would argue that MetalSeadramon represents Pestilence, as he is the only Dark Master who doesn't have the Virus attribute, instead being a Data-type digimon. In other words, in the frachise's Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors, he is the only one who has an advantage against the Vaccine-type Digimon who are the main characters. Besides, in order for the Children to defeat him, Koushirou had to search for a "cure" on his computer, until he found out that WarGreymon's Dramon killers were effective against him. So in a way, they had to develop a vaccine against the monster before tackling him directly. Pinocchimon would represent Famine, considering that famine has to do with deprivation of something, not necessarily food. Pinocchimon kidnapped Takeru, depriving Yamato of his little brother, and he along with Jyuureimon's shenanigans also made Yamato question his own existence leading him to fight Taichi and later abandon the team, depriving the rest of the children of his company. Also, starvation is known for making friends and family fight each other. On a related note, Pinocchimon lacks any friends to play with, so it's safe to assume that he starves for company. Mugendramon and Piemon's roles as War and Death, respectively, are pretty obvious.
*** If Devimon is the Devil, Myotismon is the Beast of Apocalypse, and The Dark Masters are the horsemen of the apocalypse, then Etemon's [[FauxSymbolism return represents the Second Coming!]]... [[RuleOfFunny of Elvis?]][[note]]This is just a joke, not intended to [[TakeThat spite]] anyone's theory of the Dark Masters as being [[FridgeBrilliance like the horsemen of Apocalypse]]. For that matter, this troper supports this theory.[[/note]]

*** Hang on, Etemon, he might actually represent human sin, his rock and roll of course is because NewMediaIsEvil.

** This somewhat makes sense. Kari is something of the team's ace in the sleeve during later events (has a natural Champion-level partner, with one of the strongest Ultimates available). Putting her in play too easily could tip off dark Digimon, and run the risk of them directly targeting her.

[[WMG:Homeostasis is the reason Kari is an IllGirl at plot-convenient moments]]

[[WMG: Machinedramon was MetalGreymon reborn]]
Think about it. Machinedramon has the same left arm as a MetalGreymon. It even looks like an upgrade of a Greymon-species. Why is he evil?
--> '''MetalGreymon''': I'M NOT TRASH ANYMORE!

* WMG/DigimonAdventure2015

[[WMG: In an alternate universe, Kari is [[KingdomHearts Kairi]].]]

* Another odd little tidbit: Their English VAs (Joshua Seth and Steven Blum respectively) are both Jewish. On top of that some fans have speculated that Spike is Jewish, so...

* Having been nearly drafted by Dagomon to become a wife, she decides later on to have a sex-change and making herself scarce. Then again, we are not told what Taichi's Dad does, but this could mean that Taichi disappeared ... somehow.

** Combine this with the above theory that the Dark Ocean is a graveyard of sorts for evil Digimon. The data of each Dark Master pooled together in the ocean, eventually building up to a DNA Digivolution/Jogress Evolution to Apocalymon (who was otherwise a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere) when the last was destroyed.
