It debuted on July 6, 2010 on TV Asahi, making it the first Digimon season in the franchise to not air on Fuji Television. For the first 30 episodes, it aired on Tuesday nights.

Summary

Taiki, a 7th grade boy, heard a mysterious melody where soon he chase over to an alley and a mysterious, legendary Digivice called the Xros Loader appears in front of him. Accompanies by his friends, Akari and Zenjirou, they been dragged into the Digital World. They soon realized that the Digital World was a place lived by living creatures named Digimon and now slowly been controlled by an evil empire named the "Bagra Army". Now, Taiki and his "Xros Heart" team become an important figure to free the world from the Bagra Army.

Arc 1 (1 - 30)

As the Digital World been separated into 108 Zones with an element named Code Crown placed in each Zone, it invites few parties to collect the Code Crown to claim each Zone, to achieve the goal into uniting and taking over the Digital World. Feeling the strong responsibility to save the world, Taiki forms his own group named Xros Heart, who been considered a strong threats to the Bagra Army, and battle along with some other parties including another human boy Kiriha in Blue Flare group and a human girl Nene with her Twilight group. Along the process, Nene joins the Xros Heart. As all the Code Crowns were claimed, the Bagra Army use some trick to snatch Taiki and Kiriha's Code Crowns and even sending Taiki, Akari and Zenjirou back to human world along with Shoutmon and Tactimon. With Xros Heart's core members disposed of, Bagramon reveals his siblings relationship with Twilight's core and leader Digimon, DarkKnightmon (who is actually his younger brother) as he begins his reign over the Digital World.

Back to Earth, in Kyoto City, the main Xros Heart members met Omnimon, (the Digimon who gave Taiki his red Xros Loader) and reveals the DigiMemories' origin. However, a giant Tactimon appears cuasing havoc, but thanks to Taiki, Akari and Zenjirou's linked hearts make Shoutmon digivolve into OmegaShoutmon, destroying Tactimon for good. By the way, Omnimon's DigiMemory had enough energy to send only Taiki and Shoutmon back to the Digital World; while Akari, Zenjirou and Ommimon wait their chance to return and go help.

Arc 2: The Evil Death Generals and the Seven Kingdoms (31 - ongoing)

Upon returning to the Digital World, Taiki and Shoutmon learn that Bagramon had it reconstructed into a realm surrounding by seven Kingdoms, each ruled by a denominated Death General with their own Darkness Loaders. Reunited with their allies, Taiki and Nene convince Kiriha to join forces with them and they set to travel together through the Kingdoms to defeat the Generals. They also have to face Nene's brother, Yuu Amano, who become DarkKnightmon's General and joins the Bagra Army by thinking the Digital World as a game for his pleasure. Meanwhile, Bagramon adds negative energy (gsined from his seven Generals) inside his Code Crown for his upcoming day for ultimate destruction, which he calls it "D5".
