Digimon Data Squad, known in Japan as Digimon Savers (デジモンセイバーズ, Dejimon Seibāzu), is a Japanese anime television series, and the fifth series produced as part of the Digimon franchise. It was produced by Toei Animation, and aired every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. on the Fuji TV network. In addition, a tie-in movie called Ultimate Power! Burst Mode Invoke! was released on December 9, 2006. [2] Savers is the first Digimon program to be produced in almost four years, following 2002's Digimon Frontier.

Unlike previous Digimon series, which were broadcasted in English in Autumn of the same year as their Japanese release, there were a full eighteen months between the Japanese and English broadcasts, leading at first to some doubt as to whether the series would be dubbed at all. Not long after the discovery of an entry for the show on Toei's website, which featured anglicized names for some of the characters and the show's new English title, on April 25, 2007, Disney's ABC Network announced that it had signed an agreement [3] with Toei Animation to license the show. On May 4, director of previous Digimon series Jeff Nimoy confirmed that he had returned to direct the series, confirmed its English title, and revealed the majority of voice actors for the main cast of the series. [4] Data Squad premiered on Jetix on October 1st, 2007 at 8:30 PM. [1]

The Digivice used in this series is the "Digivice iC", and its upgraded version, the "Digivice Burst". The series is the first to feature the lead character not sporting a pair of goggles and have all main characters' Digimon evolve to the same level. This series is also the second one where the last battle is fought in the Real World against a non-Digimon entity, the other one being Digimon Tamers. Unlike the previous seasons, Digimon Data Squad took on more radical changes for the character designs ditching the style animation always used previously in favor of more traditional Japanese animation. Also, according to this series' composer, Ryota Yamaguchi, this series was to take in a wider age group, and was aimed to also appeal to late teens, however, without ending it as a hobby anime. This is why the characters are much older (ranging from early teen to adult) and the story is much more mature in tone than in previous series. This is unlike most of the other previous Digimon anime series that take in younger age groups, and are aimed to appeal to young children and are much younger and lighter in tone. Also, as requested by Digimon's sponsor, Bandai, in order to grab the older Digimon fans, Bandai wanted the reappearance of a Digimon from the old series, which was chosen to be Agumon. [2]

Plot summary

File:Digimon Savers.gif
Logo used in the Japanese version

A 14-year-old undefeated street fighter , Marcus Damon, meets Agumon, who has escaped from the Digimon Data Squad or DATS, a secret government organization set up to defend the human world from invading wild Digimon. After fighting each other, the two quickly become friends, and through a series of events, are inducted into DATS, where they hope to grow in strength.

Marcus's team-mates include 14-year-old Thomas H. Norstein, a young prodigy, with his partner Gaomon, and 18-year-old Yoshino "Yoshi" Fujieda who has Lalamon for her partner. As the series progresses, Thomas discovers that Digimon respond to the "darkness" in humans, putting them at odds with monsters who seek to use humanity's own vices to bolster their own power.

The plot thickens with the introduction of Merukimon of the Olympus Twelve, one of the rulers of the Digital World, and the human boy Keenan, who serves him along with his partner Falcomon. The DATS team tries to unfold the reason for their hatred of humankind, until is revealed that the real enemy was Akihiro Kurata, a scientist who led an attack on the Digital World years before that resulted in the death of many Digimon, including Keenan's adopted mother, Frigimon.

Kurata counted on the support of the Japanese government and important businessmen like Thomas' father on his plan to destroy all Digimon in the Digital World, claiming they were a threat to mankind. But this was only a facade as in reality, he harnesses the energy of the Digimon he destroyed to power-up Belphemon, one of the Seven Great Demon Lords, and uses it in his attempt to rule the Human World (and eventually the Digital World), but his ambitions were shattered by the efforts of Marcus and his allies.

Kurata's last act was triggering a bomb which collapsed the frontier between the Human and Digital Worlds, putting them both to collision, which would lead to the destruction of both realms. The collision was halted by the desperate efforts of BanchoLeomon who ordered Marcus to search for King Drasil, the god of the Digital World. When the DATS team finally met King Drasil, they discovered that his decision to deal the crisis unfolding was to protect the Digital World by destroying the Human World, as the two worlds could not coexist in the same dimension. To perform this task, he assembled his elite guard, the Royal Knights.

Marcus was confused at first because King Drasil somehow had the appearance of his father, Dr. Spencer Damon, who disappeared in the Digital World years before. But it was revealed that King Drasil took his father's body, and his soul was somehow preserved by BanchoLeomon, who was revealed to be Spencer's partner Digimon. After defeating some of the Royal Knights, the DATS team decided to confront King Drasil himself, who after being expelled from Spencer's body, transformed himself into an all-powerful robotic form determined to destroy the Human World by itself.

However, even when the Royal Knights rebel against King Drasil, it won't give up its goal, attempting to destroy both worlds and create a new world. Using their emotions, Marcus and Agumon finally defeat King Drasil, and the two worlds cease their collision course. Before disappearing, King Drasil brings Spencer back to life and he returns to his family, but the Digimon decide to return to the Digital World to help restore it. In the end Marcus decides to not part with Agumon and goes with them.

5 years later, Keenan and Kristy, Marcus' sister, go to the same school together. Thomas finally managed found a cure for his sister's illness and became the youngest scientist to win the Nobel Prize at age 19. Yoshi has joined the police with the remaining DATS members, and Marcus and Agumon have become peacekeepers in the Digital World, breaking up fighting between rival Digimon factions as seen when stopping an argument between a group of Goblimon and Shamanmon.

A servant of Merukimon, Keenan eventually hated all humans, but began to change his opinion as he learned his true origins. Falcomon is his partner and childhood friend, who does his best to help Keenan as he comes to grips with his humanity. Keenan looks up to Marcus as a big brother.

Supporting Cast

Main article: List of characters in Digimon Data Squad

Movie: Ultimate Power! Activate Burst Mode

The movie is in fact a 22 minute story without any continuity to the series. Its plot revolves around Agumon, Gaomon and Lalamon, whose partners are put into an eternal sleep, along with the rest of the humans, because of a mysterious thorn that spread throughout the city. After saving Rhythm, a Digimon in the form of a little girl, they hear from her that the thorns are the work of a Ultimate Digimon, named Argomon, and the four set out for the villain's castle to confront him.

Video Games

As it is part of a resurgence of the Digimon franchise, Digimon Data Squad has a number of related video games associated with it.

  • Digimon World DS: A game featuring several Digimon Savers characters, but does not focus on them. It can arguably be seen as a side-story to Digimon Savers. The game, released in America before the concept of Data Squad, uses the original Japanese names of the DATS team, who appear in certain quests.
  • Digimon World Data Squad: A game focusing on the primary characters of the series, and which presents an original story that apparently runs parallel to the anime. It involves the members of DATS coming into conflict with the Seven Great Demon Lords.
  • Digimon World: Dawn and Dusk: Sequel to Digimon World DS, a set of two games with slightly different stories. At the end of the game, the four main characters from Data Squad appear to battle the main character.

Series Concepts

D.N.A.

Main article: Digivolution

An important concept in the series is the D.N.A. (which stands for Digimon Natural Ability; it is called Digi-Soul in the Japanese version), the main medium by which the humans in the series evolve their Digimon. Essentially, it is some kind of energy aura that allows a Digimon to grow stronger, and is tied into a human's emotions.

The D.N.A. usually manifests as a glowing aura around the user's hand, which is then channeled through the Digivice with the command of "D.N.A. Charge".

A stronger version is the so-called D.N.A Full Charge, which erupts around the entire body. D.N.A Charge Overdrive is the term used to allows the Digimon to digivolve into their Mega form. When activating Burst Mode, Which is not yet available in english, The term 'Digisoul' in english,is D.N.A. Burst mode In japanese it is Charge! Digisoul Burst! In english burst mode should be Charge! D.N.A Burst.

Digivice

Main article: Digivice

The digivice is the primary tool used by any human with a Digimon partner. The primary Digivice used by the characters in the series is the Data Link Digivice (Digivice iC in Japan[3]). It is used for multiple purposes, the most important of which is the channeling of the human's D.N.A., which allows for the Digimon to digivolve (evolve). It can also "store" a partner inside of it, and released back in the world with the command of "realize". Different digivices are also used by the series villains.

Later on, the Digivice is upgraded into the Data Link Digivice Mega Burst (Digivice Burst in Japan). which can channel the full power of the D.N.A. and activate Mega (Ultimate) digivolution. It also reportedly has another ability called the Air Signal, which can be used to activate Burst Mode or (this only involves Marcus) can be used to summon the GeoGreySword for ShineGreymon.

DATS (Digimon Data Squad/Digital Accident Tactics Squad)

DATS is an organization dedicated to keeping the peace between the human and Digital Worlds, by stopping any Digimon that appears in the real world, and returning it to the Digital World in the form of a Digi-Egg (digitama). DATS is apparently a worldwide organization, as Thomas was known to visit the European branch prior to episode three. It is unknown if there is an American branch, or one elsewhere, but the majority of Digimon activity occurs in Japan. The Japanese branch, at least, falls under the direct jurisdiction of Japan's Confidentiality Ministry.

Due to the manipulation of Akihiro Kurata, the core team of DATS operatives in Japan was broken up, and the building that housed DATS was annihilated. In later episodes they operate secretly from underground after the core team of DATS comes back together, though not officially. After the Partner Digimon (including Biyomon), Gotsumon and Marcus Daimon returned to the Digital World. DATS is permanently dissolved and five years later most of the members of DATS have moved on and have jobs at the local police station. Except for Thomas who cures his sister's illness and wins a Nobel Peace Prize and Marcus, who stays in the Digital World with Agumon as a sort of peacekeeper.

Digital World

Main article: Digital World

The Digital World is the otherworldly realm, which as it is in other series, formed due to the growing worldwide digital network. Though we have only seen a part of it in the series, locations include a forest ruled over by Cherrymon, and the Infinite Ice Ridge, the ruling place of Merukimon. The Digital World is connected to the real world by way of Digital Gates, most of which open incidentally. For some reason, the barrier between both worlds is breaking down. Finally, as stated by Merukimon, an omnipresent god of the Digital World exists, known as King Drasil.

Differences in the English dub

Like the previous Digimon seasons, Digimon Data Squad is edited for broadcast for various reasons. Moments of human violence are the most common subject of such alteration; for instance, scenes of punches or thrown weapons may be trimmed or modified slightly to remove or obscure the actual moment of impact; any instances of blood (rare to begin with) are digitally removed; and laser beams that were shown to blast through characters in the original version are merely shown to strike them on one side and not puncture their body. For the purposes of cultural streamlining, many instances of Japanese text (on signs, for instance) are airbrushed out, although Digivolution sequences are one exception to this particular rule, as well as most of the Japanese text are kept and left out, such as the ones on city signs and even on Kristy's Birthday Cake. In a similar vein, currency is switched from Japanese yen to American dollars. However, the English dub script contains the word "Japan," the setting of the country is in Japan, and there are dinner scenes showing chopsticks being used. Like previous Digimon dubs, the original score of the series, including its opening and ending sequences, is replaced with new music, although this season departs from the orchestral score of past seasons and opts for a rock-based soundtrack by Thorston Laewe. Like with the other previous seasons, the original opening theme song is replaced with a new vocal theme song, and the original opening is replaced with a new dub opening that takes many scenes from the original opening and some of the episodes.

Data Squad's dub also features several noticeable departures from previous dubbed seasons, including the use of the sound effects from the original Japanese version, and addition of title cards and previews for the next episode (different to those featured in the Japanese version). Generally speaking, the script and tone of the show adhere much more closely to the Japanese version than past Digimon seasons, dialing back on the insertion of dialogue and humor not present in the original, although as one would expect, references to obscure aspects of Japanese culture that Western viewers will not understand are replaced with an equivalent American concept.

In the history of Digimon dubs, however, no changes made can compare to the alteration included in episode 7, "A Birthday Kristy Will Never Forget!" At the mandate of Jetix, the episode's villain, BomberNanimon - a giant, walking bomb - had to be heavily edited to completely alter his nature. Consequently, he was reimagined as "Citramon" - a giant fruit Digimon, digitally repainted orange and with a stem and leaf in place of his fuse inserted to hide his fuse. The bombs he throws are colored green, and explode with in a shower of juice that threatens to flood the amusement park he attacks, rather than blow it up.

Another such change is in that of Episode 29 "How To Fix a Broken Digivice". This is when Marcus, Thomas and Yoshi finally receive the Digivice Burst, which would digivolve Agumon, Gaomon and Lalamon to Mega level. However, there are two shots that are removed; when Lalamon digivolves into her Mega-level form, there is a shot of Rosemon's chest and another with her backside, which were cut out of the dub.

Disney DVD

Walt Disney Home Entertainment will be the license to the DVDs for summer of 2008. The Disney DVDs will contain 3 episodes each and only show the edited TV Dub Version. There will be no uncut DVDs as is the standard with the Digimon series. All those new Disney DVDs will contain the Walt Disney Home Entertainment logo as well as the previews playing before the episodes and menu, just like with the other Disney DVDs. Most of the previews that will play before the menus and episodes will be of later Digimon Data Squad DVDs, the Digimon Complete Collection Disney DVD Sets that will show all the complete Edited Dub TV episodes, as well as Walt Disney's latest new movies, and the latest Disney DVDs. One of the Disney DVDs will show a music video showing Jump 5 singing the English dub theme song.
