Digimon Xros Wars (デジモンクロスウォーズ Dejimon Kurosu Wōzu), pronounced "Digimon Cross Wars", is the sixth series of Digimon (Dub: NA-Digimon Fusion/Digimon Fusion Battle Ita-Digimon Fusion Battles) aired in Japan on July 6, 2010 on TV Asahi from 7:27PM (UTC +9), over three years since the end of Digimon Savers, replacing Kaidan Restaurant 「怪談レストラン」[1] and Stitch! ~The Mischievous Alien's Great Adventure~ 「スティッチ! 〜いたずらエイリアンの大冒険〜」 (ANN Only). Unlike the previous series, this is the first to air on a network outside Fuji TV, air on a Tuesday, as opposed to the traditional 9:00AM (UTC +9) Sunday timeslot, and be broadcast in high-definition and widescreen. Starting on April 2011, it was moved on TV Asahi 6:30AM (UTC +9) Sunday timeslot, until it was ended on March 2012. It was replaced by Saint Seiya Omega (聖闘士星矢Ω) on April 2012.

History[edit]

News regarding this series emerged in April 2010, where it was revealed by Fumuo de Pon that a set of Digimon straps for what was described as being a "new Digimon anime premiering on television throughout Japan!", alongside other capsule toy releases from Bandai Vendor Division.[2] This indicated that the animation style would be reminiscent of and similar to that of the first four series. The title of the series, as well as the name of the main protagonist were revealed in the June 2010 issue of V Jump magazine.

Later, in the July 2010 issue of V Jump, the main characters as well as the cast, new card game and digivice were revealed. A manga based on Xros Wars was also announced, to be launched in the August 2010 issue of V Jump. Coinciding with the release of this issue, the official Toei site updated with information which included the staff working on the series, more of the cast as well as identifying two new Digimon names in addition to the ones previously revealed.

A small, three second teaser was shown during the broadcast of the twenty-first episode of Kaidan Restaurant followed by a second, longer commercial which aired during its finale. On the day prior to the release of the August 2010 issue of V Jump, which included the first chapter of the manga, the name of a theme song, two more new Digimon, more information regarding Digimon armies among other things, a third commercial was broadcast.

Coinciding with the release of the August 2010 issue of V Jump, both the Toei and Asahi sites for Digimon Xros Wars officially opened as well as a complete revamp of the Digimon Web portal page, having emphasis on Digimon Xros Wars based products.

Story[edit]

Possessing outstanding reflexes, Taiki, a soft-hearted person who can't say no when it comes to being asked a favor, has participated in various sports clubs. One day, after finishing basketball practice, Taiki hears a mysterious melody. When he listens carefully to it, he hears someone breathing feebly, who is about to die at any moment, crying out for help.

Later, when Shoutmon's heart responds to Taiki's voice, a mysterious, legendary device called the Digimon Xros Loader appears in front of him. Taiki was chosen as a "General" to control it. Shoutmon's fading melody is absorbed by the Xros Loader and then Taiki, along with his childhood friend, Akari and fellow classmate, Zenjirou, are dragged into another world, the Digital World. Once there, Taiki immediately sees Digimon fighting. In the Digital World, the Bagra Empire, who are aiming for supremacy, continues to advance aggressively, so Shoutmon and his friends' peaceful village has been vulnerable to all-out attacks from the Bagra Army up until now. Despite Ballistamon fighting bravely with his superhuman strength, they appear to have an overwhelming disadvantage. Revived after being inside Taiki's Xros Loader, Shoutmon emerges from it. Shoutmon fights desperately along with his friends from the village. However, the Bagra Army drive them into a corner. Unable to let the crisis just slip past, Taiki immediately protects Shoutmon. At that moment, the Xros Loader responds and at Taiki's command, Shoutmon and Ballistamon unite.

That was the moment in which a "Digi Xros", a form of fusion special even in the Digital World, took place. By gaining this new power, Taiki, Shoutmon and the others drive away the Bagra Army. Kiriha, a youth in the same grade as Taiki who leads Greymon and the others, later becomes a powerful rival to Taiki and furthermore, they are watched over by a mysterious beautiful girl named Nene. Taiki and Shoutmon form an army using the Xros Loader and battle against the powerful Bagra Empire, who plan on taking over the Digital World, gradually gaining more supporting allies such as Dorulumon.

Continuing to fight alongside Shoutmon, does Taiki wish to become king of the Digital World? Or return it to peace? Now, an epic war in the Digital World begins.

Overview[edit]

As soon as Taiki finishes basketball practice, he suddenly hears a melody from out of nowhere. Upon hearing the voice of someone breathing feebly, Taiki starts searching for the source of the voice in order to save him. After Taiki, Akari and Zenjirou escape from a falling car that crashed into a building prior to that, Taiki hears someone's voice telling him to follow the guidance of the light appearing in front of him, receiving his Xros Loader. He is then dragged into a digital space resembling a cyber tunnel, transporting him to the Digital World. There, they encounter a Mad Leomon with the Bagra Army. Taiki and the others meet Shoutmon's companions as well as Shoutmon himself and by exhibiting the power of Digi Xros, Mad Leomon is defeated.

Development[edit]

Casting of staff and voice actors for Digimon Xros Wars was largely influenced by Gegege no Kitarō (2007) and Hakaba Kitarō (2008).[5][6]

Due to impacts from the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and as a part of Toei's promotion for upcoming Hollywood adaptation of Dragon Ball, release of DragonBall Kai was decided and Gegege no Kitarō in 2007 was discontinued, resulting in _Digimon Xros Wars'_s transfer to TV Asahi's slot as the show was planned to release in the slot after Gegege no Kitarō(see here for more details).[7]
