*In the year 2020 C.E.,*
**[00:15] ---**
*the human world is connected by a network.*
**[00:18] ---**
*Inhabiting it is
an unknown life form called Digimon.*

**[02:06] ---**
*Taichi and his friends now know*
**[02:08] ---**
*the Holy Digimon is the key
to saving Tokyo.*
**[02:14] ---**
*As the group wandered the forest,*
**[02:16] ---**
*they met Mimi Tachikawa, a human girl
who ran a small kingdom with Tanemon,*
**[02:22] ---**
*and her friend, Palmon.*
**[02:25] ---**
*In the shadows of the battle
with Tuskmon who ransacked the orchard,*
**[02:30] ---**
*Mimi was attacked by a cunning enemy.*
**[02:34] ---**
*That was when Mimi's Digivice lit up
and Palmon evolved into Togemon.*
**[02:43] ---**
*With Mimi in their party,*
**[02:46] ---**
*Taichi and his friends head for the sea
to cross over to the continent.*
**[03:00] ---**
You sure have improved, Palmon!
**[03:03] ---**
It's as tasty as the real Golden Tippy!
**[03:09] ---**
This sure is great tea!
**[03:11] ---**
The snacks are yummy too!
**[03:13] ---**
Uh-huh!
**[03:15] ---**
Seriously, what a peaceful moment...
**[03:18] ---**
Wait, should we be taking our time
having tea like this?
**[03:21] ---**
My grandpa told me
that traders who rush make less money.
**[03:28] ---**
Palmon, how much further
is the sea from here?
**[03:32] ---**
It's right there.
**[03:34] ---**
What?
**[03:47] ---**
It's the sea!
**[03:57] ---**
THAT BOY IS JOE KIDO
**[04:01] ---**
Do you see the continent?
**[04:04] ---**
I can't see anything yet.
**[04:09] ---**
Birdramon, aren't we heavy?
**[04:12] ---**
I'm fine!
**[04:14] ---**
I just hope it's a distance
I can fly across...
**[04:29] ---**
What's that?
**[04:31] ---**
What's wrong?
**[04:33] ---**
That!
**[04:40] ---**
Huh?
**[04:45] ---**
Watch out!
**[04:53] ---**
Sora!
**[05:02] ---**
Sora! Agumon!
**[05:06] ---**
Taichi!
**[05:07] ---**
Taichi! Agumon!
**[05:10] ---**
Sora! I'm glad you're okay!
**[05:12] ---**
Birdramon?
**[05:15] ---**
Piyomon!
**[05:17] ---**
Swim!
**[05:24] ---**
Marching Fishes!
**[05:29] ---**
Fish?!
**[05:32] ---**
Follow me!
**[05:40] ---**
We're saved...
**[05:46] ---**
Piyomon, are you okay?
**[05:48] ---**
Yes, I'm glad you're okay too.
**[05:51] ---**
What happened?
**[05:53] ---**
We don't really know.
**[05:55] ---**
Something squiggly
came out of a whirlpool.
**[05:58] ---**
That's Gesomon.
**[06:01] ---**
Gesomon?
**[06:03] ---**
It's a vicious Digimon who dwells
at the bottom of the sea.
**[06:03] ---**
GOMAMON
**[06:06] ---**
When anyone tries to cross the strait,
Gesomon attacks like that.
**[06:11] ---**
And you are?
**[06:12] ---**
I'm Gomamon!
**[06:14] ---**
So you're the one who saved us!
**[06:17] ---**
Thank you. You have some amazing powers!
**[06:20] ---**
Marching Fishes!
It's my special technique!
**[06:24] ---**
You guys must be the Chosen Ones.
**[06:27] ---**
You know about us?!
**[06:30] ---**
Yeah, because I have a partner too.
**[06:33] ---**
A partner...
**[06:34] ---**
Oh! A human?!
**[06:36] ---**
That means another child
who'll find the Holy Digimon with us.
**[06:39] ---**
Well, supposedly...
**[06:54] ---**
*There are no signs of power
returning to the city yet.*
**[06:58] ---**
MYSTERIOUS POWER OUTAGE SPREADS
**[06:58] ---**
*The power outage has spread to parts of
Kanagawa, Chiba and Saitama.*
**[07:04] ---**
*In Kawaguchi-shi, Saitama-shi,
and Urayasu-shi,*
**[07:08] ---**
*the power supply has shut off since 7 a.m.*
**[07:14] ---**
Oh, the microwave stopped!
**[07:17] ---**
CHAOS CONTINUES
WITHIN METROPOLITAN AREA
**[07:18] ---**
What a problem...
**[07:21] ---**
*Experts say that
if there's a delay in recovery,*
**[07:25] ---**
*there's a fear that the city of Tokyo
will cease to operate in a few days...*
**[07:30] ---**
Ugh, things are becoming worse and worse.
**[07:35] ---**
We must hurry and join Taichi-san's group!
**[07:44] ---**
MIDDLE SCHOOL ENTRANCE EXAMS
**[07:54] ---**
What is this guy doing?
**[07:57] ---**
Studying?
**[07:58] ---**
Here?!
**[08:00] ---**
Joe, I've brought over
the other Chosen Ones.
**[08:07] ---**
Hm?
**[08:10] ---**
Humans?!
**[08:13] ---**
I'm Taichi Yagami.
**[08:15] ---**
I'm Sora Takenouchi.
**[08:17] ---**
Mimi Tachikawa, a fourth-grader.
**[08:20] ---**
I'm Agumon!
**[08:21] ---**
Piyomon!
**[08:22] ---**
Palmon here.
**[08:25] ---**
Oh?
**[08:26] ---**
So there's no grown-ups...
**[08:29] ---**
Huh?
**[08:30] ---**
Tell me! How can I get back
to the other world?!
**[08:35] ---**
How? Beats me...
**[08:39] ---**
Anyhow, we need your help.
**[08:43] ---**
Huh?
**[08:45] ---**
At this rate,
Tokyo will be in big trouble...
**[08:49] ---**
And that problem is caused
by this Digital World.
**[08:53] ---**
So, they say we need to go and stop that.
**[08:57] ---**
We?
**[08:58] ---**
Let's go find the Holy Digimon together!
**[09:01] ---**
We need you and Gomamon's help!
**[09:08] ---**
Oh, I'm Joe Kido,
a sixth-grader at Musako Elementary.
**[09:12] ---**
What?
**[09:13] ---**
That means he's our senpai!
**[09:16] ---**
Oh, come to think of it, I might've
seen him at our recent camping trip...
**[09:21] ---**
I still can't believe a story like that.
**[09:25] ---**
Save Tokyo from a crisis? Why me?
**[09:29] ---**
I have important entrance exams
next year and I have no time!
**[09:35] ---**
Whoever controls summer,
controls the exams!
**[09:38] ---**
But why am I the only one
in a place like this?!
**[09:42] ---**
While I'm stuck here,
my rivals are all getting ahead!
**[09:48] ---**
My family is a line of doctors,
**[09:52] ---**
and I must become one myself
in the future!
**[09:55] ---**
If you want me to contribute to society,
I'll do it all when I grow up!
**[10:00] ---**
But right now, I have to study!
**[10:13] ---**
Are we really taking this guy with us?
**[10:20] ---**
Let's go!
**[10:21] ---**
Joe, you came to this world and met me,
because you have an important role!
**[10:28] ---**
We're partn--
**[10:30] ---**
You've been a great help.
**[10:33] ---**
I do appreciate it,
**[10:35] ---**
but... I don't ever remember
becoming partners.
**[10:45] ---**
Hey, Senpai.
**[10:46] ---**
I know it's dangerous,
and we can't force you to come,
**[10:50] ---**
but we're the only ones that can do this.
**[10:53] ---**
Let's say that just us kids travel
around this bizarre and dangerous world,
**[10:59] ---**
and we struggle
to accomplish that so-called goal.
**[11:03] ---**
Is there any guarantee that we'll be able
to return to our world?
**[11:07] ---**
Joe...
**[11:09] ---**
Gomamon, you can go with them.
**[11:12] ---**
I'm going to stay here and study.
**[11:23] ---**
As long as Gesomon's there,
we can't cross this strait.
**[11:27] ---**
We have to chase Gesomon away somehow.
**[11:30] ---**
But how?
**[11:32] ---**
What?
**[11:49] ---**
Are you really not going with everybody?
**[11:54] ---**
Even if I did,
there'd be nothing I could do.
**[11:59] ---**
Then I should just stay here
and do what I need to do.
**[12:17] ---**
Piyomon, you should stay
and rest for a while.
**[12:20] ---**
Let's team up with Agumon and Palmon.
**[12:23] ---**
We have no chance in the ocean,
but if we're on land...
**[12:27] ---**
We'll draw Gesomon out here!
**[12:31] ---**
Okay, then victory will be ours!
**[12:33] ---**
We'll fight for Piyomon too!
**[12:36] ---**
Leave it to us!
**[12:38] ---**
Agumon... Palmon...
**[12:40] ---**
If that's the plan,
I'll be the bait to draw Gesomon over.
**[12:46] ---**
Gomamon?!
**[12:47] ---**
I'll use my Marching Fishes
to taunt and lure Gesomon over here.
**[12:54] ---**
Gomamon, what about Joe Senpai?
**[12:58] ---**
Joe... has too much on his mind
with stuff he has to do
**[13:03] ---**
and has no room for anything else.
**[13:07] ---**
And now that he's got
even more things to do,
**[13:10] ---**
he's perplexed and struggling.
**[13:14] ---**
Even if he looks
like he's absorbed in studying.
**[13:17] ---**
But one day, he'll become a great human
that'll help everyone out!
**[13:23] ---**
That's why I'm gonna help everyone out
for Joe right now!
**[13:33] ---**
Here we go! Marching Fishes!
**[13:46] ---**
Here it comes!
**[13:51] ---**
Come, Gesomon! Over here!
**[14:03] ---**
C'mon, over here!
If you want me, come and get me!
**[14:23] ---**
I see the whirlpool!
**[14:25] ---**
Good, they're coming this way!
**[14:28] ---**
Gomamon, keep it up!
**[14:37] ---**
Gomamon...
**[14:42] ---**
Just a little further...
**[14:49] ---**
Gomamon!
**[14:55] ---**
Gomamon!
**[14:59] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[15:00] ---**
Hang in there!
**[15:03] ---**
Joe...
**[15:05] ---**
Joe Senpai!
**[15:06] ---**
Hurry and get away from there!
Take Gomamon with you!
**[15:19] ---**
GESOMON
**[15:27] ---**
That's Gesomon?!
**[15:29] ---**
We only saw the tentacles earlier.
**[15:31] ---**
But now, the whole thing is here!
**[15:33] ---**
Agumon!
**[15:34] ---**
You're on, Palmon!
**[15:36] ---**
Yeah!
**[15:42] ---**
Agumon Evolution!
**[15:57] ---**
Greymon!
**[16:00] ---**
Palmon Evolution!
**[16:06] ---**
Togemon!
**[16:23] ---**
Gomamon...
why did you do something so reckless?
**[16:27] ---**
I was... waiting for a long time...
**[16:29] ---**
What?
**[16:39] ---**
Prickly Bang-Bang!
**[16:51] ---**
Togemon!
**[17:03] ---**
I was looking forward to it,
**[17:05] ---**
always wondering what kind
of human my partner would be.
**[17:10] ---**
That's why when I finally met you, Joe...
**[17:13] ---**
I was really happy.
**[17:33] ---**
Weren't you disappointed?
**[17:34] ---**
To find out you were waiting
for a human like me?
**[17:38] ---**
No, that's not true!
**[17:39] ---**
Gomamon?
**[17:41] ---**
That's not true at all...
**[17:57] ---**
I was waiting
for no one else but you, Joe.
**[18:03] ---**
I think so myself, so there's no mistake!
**[18:25] ---**
Gomamon, are you okay?
**[18:27] ---**
What you need to do in this world
**[18:30] ---**
is not something you need to get done
by yourself, Joe.
**[18:34] ---**
You have others like Taichi,
and you have me too.
**[18:38] ---**
We'll do it together!
**[18:40] ---**
So don't worry!
**[18:48] ---**
You're right, Gomamon.
**[18:50] ---**
I wasn't alone, because you were there
for me in this world.
**[18:55] ---**
If I were by myself,
**[18:56] ---**
I probably wouldn't have been able
to even study.
**[19:00] ---**
Gomamon,
**[19:01] ---**
you're my...
**[19:04] ---**
I'm your partner!
**[19:11] ---**
Uh?
**[19:15] ---**
Gomamon Evolution!
**[19:31] ---**
That's...
**[19:36] ---**
IKKAKUMON
**[19:36] ---**
Ikkakumon!
**[19:40] ---**
Ikkakumon...
**[19:50] ---**
Ikkakumon!
**[20:08] ---**
You're not getting away!
**[20:10] ---**
Harpoon Vulcan!
**[20:27] ---**
Togemon!
**[20:28] ---**
Coconut...
**[20:30] ---**
Punch!
**[20:34] ---**
Greymon!
**[20:41] ---**
I'll finish you!
**[20:43] ---**
Harpoon Vulcan!
**[21:08] ---**
Joe Senpai!
**[21:09] ---**
That Digimon's strong!
**[21:11] ---**
Yeah, since Ikkakumon's my partner.
**[21:21] ---**
All right!
**[21:22] ---**
Now that I'm coming along,
**[21:24] ---**
let's find this so-called
Holy Digimon fast!
**[21:27] ---**
Senpai, you're up for it all of a sudden.
**[21:31] ---**
I don't have much time!
**[21:33] ---**
Whoever controls summer,
controls the exams!
**[21:36] ---**
Going forward,
please listen to the me, the olde...
**[21:40] ---**
Eh... Eh...
**[21:42] ---**
E-E-E-Ehh?!
**[21:44] ---**
He flopped!
**[21:45] ---**
He really flopped!
**[21:47] ---**
Senpai's flopped!
**[21:49] ---**
He's flopped!
**[21:53] ---**
Don't say I flopped!
I'm studying for entrance exams!
**[22:02] ---**
*As if rolling out of control,
I ran frantically*
**[22:02] ---**
*korogaru youni gamushara ni hashitta*
**[22:07] ---**
