History YMMV / DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersWhoLeaptThroughTime

* AntiClimax: Many found the CrisisCrossover GrandFinale to be vastly underwhelming due to [[spoiler:five of the previous leaders being reduced to living batteries for the Brave Snatcher, with one of them -- that being Taiki -- being assimilated by Quartzmon along with everyone else but [[SpotlightStealingCharacter the main duo]].]] As a result, Tagiru and Gumdramon were the only ones left to fight the FinalBoss, which basically boils down to [[spoiler:Quartzmon hurling loads of square stuff at the both of them before being swiftly dealt with, Shoutmon taking Quartzmon's [=DigiTama=], and the Digimon and humans separated back into their respective worlds]]. That's it. Not to mention The Clock Man apparently revealing himself to being [[spoiler:Bagramon]], along with the open ending. To quote Krusty the Clown: "What the hell was that?!"

%% AssPull:
%% Astamon being [[spoiler:the core of Quartzmon]] was a little out of left field to say the least, considering he hardly said or did anything.
%% The Watch Man strongly implied, if not outright confirmed, to being [[spoiler:a reincarnated [[BigBad Bagramon]]]] was also mind-numbing. That really did just come out of '''''nowhere'''''.

** Many feel the CrisisCrossover GrandFinale was vastly underwhelming since [[spoiler:five of the previous leaders were reduced to living batteries for the Brave Snatcher]]. Due to everyone getting [[spoiler:reduced to [=DigiQuartz=]]], Tagiru and his Partner Digimon are the only ones left to fight the final battle, which basically boils down to [[spoiler:Quartzmon hurling loads of square stuff at the both of them before being swiftly dealt with, Shoutmon taking Quartzmon's [=DigiTama=] (or [[DubNameChange Digi-Egg]]), and the Digimon and humans separated back into their respective worlds]]. [[AntiClimax That's it]]. Not to mention The Clock Man apparently revealing himself to being [[spoiler:Bagramon]] and the open ending.

** Did you think the hatred for [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 Daisuke]] was bad? You've seen nothing compared to the sheer level of loathing that Tagiru gets from some fans to the point of being one of the most hated protagonists in ''Digimon'' history, for quite a few reasons. The highlights (if you can even call them that) include his incredibly selfish motivation, unchanging character and constant spotlight hogging (which both result in nobody else apart from characters of the day gaining character development), [[PlotArmor how everything seems to go in his favor in the end]], [[IdiotHero his unbelievable degrees of idiocy]], and worst of all being that he gets to fight the final battle alone on top of being the only one to have a proper goodbye [[spoiler:and reunion]] with his Partner Digimon.

* {{Sequelitis}}: ''Young Hunters'' quickly developed a severe reputation for this, despite being somewhat promising in premise; [[{{DesignatedHero}} Tagiru]] is the most obnoxious hero in the franchise, new characters are robbed of any chance of being anything more than [[FlatCharacter one characteristic]], and the show derailed the previous ''Xros Wars'' protagonists. Worst of all, it consisted of almost nothing but MonsterOfTheWeek filler episodes with nary a plot in sight, which was compounded by only having 25 episodes. Therefore, the show had no time to pace things out or get things started. [[spoiler:Furthermore, it only gave the briefest tease of the CrisisCrossover twelve episodes in before seeming to completely forget about it until the last four episodes, with nearly all the prior heroes being DemotedToExtra so that they can serve as power-ups for [[SpotlightStealingCharacter Tagiru]] in the final episode. (Not to mention that there was a big missed opportunity in that we didn't get to see protagonists from the manga, video games, and other notable forms of media in animated form a la ''Film/KamenRiderZiOOverQuartzer''.)]] This case was actually so bad that it knocked the series off TV for eight years (not counting the ''[[Anime/DigimonUniverseAppMonsters App Monsters]]'' spinoff).

* DesignatedHero: Tagiru makes it clear that he's in it just to become a superstar, and so does Gumdramon at times. Even when [[spoiler:Earth is in danger of being destroyed after Quartzmon merges with it to allow [=DigiQuartz=] to rapidly expand and take over it]], they're ''still'' more concerned about becoming superstars then the fact that, you know...[[spoiler:'''everyone and everything they know and love is being assimilated into Quartzmon!''']]

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Kaoru, a one-off character is well-liked, having a nice bit of fanart to her name.

* TearJerker: [[TearJerker/{{Digimon}} See here]].

* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** Airu. [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Being the only female character]] out of the six-person main cast helps. Also, [[{{Moe}} she's cute]] and her crazy antics with Yuu are hilarious.
** Kaoru, a one-off character is well-liked, having a nice bit of fanart to her name.
** Ryouma is rather well-liked, for being an very polite rival ([[spoiler:[[BrainwashedAndCrazy most of the time]]]]) and being fabulous right down to his TenderTears.

%%* SeasonalRot

** You could make an entire season out of the premise of [[spoiler:all the teams from previous shows crossing over]], even if done in a way reminiscent of ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' with the whole premise of exploring alternate universes of past series, and yet they barely even interacted with each other, if at all.

* ArcFatigue: Many of the fans got fed up with the Digimon Hunt arc by the time it finally ended, as it takes an awfully long time for anything resembling a plot to really kick in. Said plot was first hinted at in episode 14, and only gets going by episode 22. At which point, there are only three episodes in the whole series left after that. This was made worse when the build up didn't really lead anywhere, just [[spoiler:a team up with the older series' characters to beat up some mooks (which happen to mainly consist of [=VenomVamdemon=] and [=BelialVamdemon=], mind you) and the generic shonen lead taking center stage to defeat the generic villain in an anti-climatic duel]].

* NightmareFuel: [[NightmareFuel/Digimon See here]].

* NightmareFuel: While he doesn't really do much in the long run and the destruction he does is easily reversible, it doesn't change how horrifying Quartzmon really is, simply because very few Digimon villains play to his level. It can catch you off guard if you aren't expecting it.
** Quartzmon is a genuinely disturbing Digimon. Its main body is a slimy, chalk-white D-Reaper-esque mess with [[MultiArmedAndDangerous multiple arms]], a mask with six "eyes" resembling [=NeoDevimon's=] and a large BellyMouth. He can also convert entire portions of the human world into [=DigiQuartz=] and moves onto taking over the world instantly when he's fully manifested. Worse is he is '''Astamon''' all along. ''Just how long is he within the Hunter's group??''
*** After Astamon reveals himself as Quartzmon, he opens his BellyMouth to reveal the numerous Digimon victims he absorbed, all of them which are writhing in pain.
** He's one of the few villains who merrily attempt a HostageSituation against TheHero by ''showing the faces of the numerous people he absorbed'' in obvious AndIMustScream situations, and dares if Tagiru were to hit him, he could say goodbye to everyone else. The way he does it is just hardcore BodyHorror; he extends his limbs in a tree-like fashion and the faces of his victims appear on each "branch", aware that they are being absorbed but can't do anything against it. He shows more when Tagiru and Arresterdramon gets close to his core.
** Just how he ''literally'' managed to TakeOverTheWorld. It doesn't last long, but Digimon villains who attempt to take over the world are usually stopped short before they manage it. This guy isn't one of these cases and by the point Tagiru fights him he's the last man standing.
