History Anime / DigimonAdventure

* DemonicVampires: Myotismon is a vampire-like Digimon whose Mega form is a giant [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black]] [[WingedHumanoid winged demon]].

* DramaPreservingHandicap: Arguably applies to Patamon in particular; Angemon and MagnaAngemon are each so powerful that they basically turned the tide single-handedly against the major villains of Devimon and Piedmon, so Angemon's first victory reduced him to Tokomon and Angemon kept getting knocked out during later fights so that he wouldn't be able to reach that stage again and turn the tables too soon.

* ButtMonkey: Mostly Joe, although Izzy, Mimi, and TK have their moments.

%%* CheerfulChild: TK and Kari.

* CoolBigSis: Patamon thinks of Biyomon like this, asking himself "[[WhatWouldXDo What would Biyomon do]]?" when he and TK are stranded. [[GiantFlyer Her solution]], of course, wouldn't have done Patamon any good at the time.

* DeadSidekick: TK witnesses Angemon's death, but Angemon later [[DeathIsCheap comes back to life]].

* DubText: Matt and TK being half brothers. Hmm, no wonder the parents divorced and their mom kept TK. The dub later abandoned this and reverted them to being proper brothers.
** In the Latin-American Spanish dub, they refer to each other as brothers but their parents are divorced, and the mother keeps TK, but calling your half brother 'brother' in Spanish is a sign of fraternity.

** In the episode "Evil Shows His Face" the kids walk into a mansion and TK comments on the beauty of an angel painting. Patamon asks what an angel is, which TK then explains. Guess who later evolves into an angel. This also references something explained in [[AllThereInTheManual expanded universe materials]] about Devimon - he's a fallen Angemon. [[spoiler:There are also 8 beds in the mansion, foreshadowing the 8th child long before she was even hinted at.]]

*** Matt dove into the lake from shore to get to the other kids on the island (mostly for TK's sake, but still).

*** TK was a kid who didn't really have the sense to run when he should've, but may have been holding out hope and it worked in his favor that one time.

* PottyFailure: When TK and Patamon were in Primary Village, one of the baby Digimon has an accident. In one episode Koromon is in the car and poops himself, and in another episode he eats too many eggs and has an accident offscreen.

* ShipTease: The Japanese version is largely devoid of any romance with the exception of some Joe/Mimi due to WordOfGod thinking the characters were too young to focus on something like that. The English dub puts in quite a lot of Tai/Sora, Joe/Mimi and to a lesser extent, TK/Kari. There's even a little Matt/Mimi.
* ShipperOnDeck: In the dub, Piedmon apparently ships TK and Kari even though they're only 8. "Looks like you two are falling for each other".

%%* SolomonDivorce: Matt and TK's family.

* ThemeNaming: Brothers Yamato and Takeru [Matt and TK] are, in combination, a reference to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamato_Takeru Yamato Takeru]], a legendary Japanese prince.

* WalkingAwayShot: in "Subzero Ice Punch" with Gabumon out looking for TK.

** After Piedmon turns [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=] into keychains, the fight against him become one long series of ineffectual {{YouShallNotPass}}es, with everyone trying to hold him off to let TK and Kari escape. [[spoiler:[[BigDamnHeroes Then MagnaAngemon turns up.]]]]

[[folder:Adaptations & Spin-offs]]

** Episode 21&22: [[spoiler:Tai enjoys his time in Tokyo but finds out the distortion caused by their last fight is influencing their world and causing multiple disasters all over the planet he then returns. After which, he finds out he's been gone for almost two months in the digital world and the others split up to find him, and during which the new BigBad has been in the process of stealing their crest and deceiving them to keep them from using said crest.]]

%%* ThePowerOfLove: Sora's crest.

%%* PrecisionFStrike: In the Swedish dub, Mat's father swears.

%%* RightMakesMight: Justified by the [=DigiDestined=]'s [[{{Aesoptinum}} Crests]].

%%* SaveBothWorlds

* KansaiRegionalAccent: Tentomon in the original; in the dub his accent was vaguely British, instead of the usual Texan substitution.

* In ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', the Chosen Children are partnered with a type of Digimon. Some of them are the exact opposite of their personalities, but others are pretty much the same as their human counterparts. One example: Matt/Yamato's partner is Gabumon, who digivolves into Garurumon, a large blue furred wolf. This represents Matt's lone wolf nature.

** ''Digimon Adventure 02: Revenge of Diaboromon'' (2001): A ShortFilm that follows plotlines introduced in ''Our War Game!''

* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02TheBeginning'' (2022): A sequel film set after 2 years after ''Last Evolution Kizuna'', focusing on the Adventure 02 cast.

[[caption-width-right:320:[[ThemeMusicPower-Up Show me your Brave Heart.]]]]

* ''LightNovel/DigimonAdventure'': A series of [[NoExportForYou Japan-only]] novels written by the series' scriptwriters.

* DitchingTheDubNames: The Italian dub of used all the translated names and terminology from the English dub of the series (albeit the dub was based on the original Japanese version). The dub of ''Anime/DigimonAdventureLastEvolutionKizuna'', on the other hand, keeps all the Japanese names and terms, to the point that attack names are left in GratuitousEnglish.

The English dub had reruns on Creator/{{Nicktoons}}, referred to by the network and Creator/SabanBrands as ''Digimon Adventures.''[[note]]potentially a blanket term for both ''Adventure'' and ''Adventure 02'', as the [[http://nicktoons.nick.com/shows/digimon/ Nicktoons site]] lists information for Adventure but uses images of the kids in outfits used in 02.[[/note]] Saban promoted ''Digimon Adventures'' through the official Digimon [[http://www.twitter.com/sabansdigimon Twitter]], [[http://www.facebook.com/sabansdigimon Facebook]], and [[http:///www.instagram.com/sabansdigimon Instagram]] accounts.

''Digimon Adventure'' (known as season 1 of ''Digimon: Digital Monsters'' in English) is the first ever anime series in the ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' franchise, which started off as an AlternateUniverse to the first two ''Digimon'' manga, ''Manga/CMonDigimon'' and ''Manga/DigimonVTamer01''. The story began with an animated movie that was released on March 6, 1999, then continued with a television show of the same name (the more well-known entry).

The English dub had reruns on Creator/{{Nicktoons}}, referred to by the network and Creator/SabanBrands as ''Digimon Adventures.''

[[folder: Tropes # - B]]

[[folder: Tropes C - D]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: Towards the end, Gennai makes a point about how Virus-attribute Digimon aren't necessarily evil. It's seen most prominently in the Gekomon and Otamamon [[spoiler: and later Ogremon.]]

[[folder: Tropes E - F]]

* TheFinalTemptation: This hits Tai pretty hard when [[spoiler: he and Koromon birefly go to Tokyo]]. The poor kid first goes all ScrodingersButterfly and then [[spoiler: remembers the comforts of home, not to mention he's actually a kid who has a kid's life ahead of him and his family's company]]. The icing in the cake is [[spoiler: Kari holding his hand when he gets the chance of going back]].

** In the episode "Evil Shows His Face" the kids walk into a mansion and TK comments on the beauty of an angel painting. Patamon asks what an angel is, which TK then explains. Guess who later evolves into an angel. This also references something explained in [[AllThereInTheManual expanded universe materials]] about Devimon - he's a fallen Angemon. [[spoiler: There are also 8 beds in the mansion, foreshadowing the 8th child long before she was even hinted at.]]

[[folder: Tropes G - H]]

* GroinAttack: Believe it or not, one of the [[BigBad Big Bads]] is ''killed'' by one of these. [[spoiler: To be more fair to Vamdemon, the attack was at a imp creature representing his real form that happened to be located in his crotch]].

--> '''Apocalymon''': "Why do you get to laugh while I'm forced to cry? Why do you get to taste the best life has to offer while all I do is choke on its leftovers!? Answer me this: why do you all get the pizza, while I get the crust?!!"
--> '''Mimi''': Oooh, I can't take all the metaphors!!!"

** [[spoiler: In ''Anime/DigimonTheMovie'', the Greymon Tai and Kari met sacrifices himself to destroy Parrotmon and save them]]

[[folder: Tropes I - L]]

** By the time of ''Anime/DigimonAdventureTri'', Leomon had returned after dying in the first series, only for him to die in the real world. [[spoiler: However, the [[CosmicRetcon Reboot]] of the DigiWorld allowed permanently deceased Digimon to be reborn]].

--> [[IncomingHam I AM THE ULTIMATE EVIL, COMPLETE WITH HOT AND COLD RUNNING WATER.]]

[[folder: Tropes M - O]]

--> '''Izzy:''' I only ask because your composition isn't at all machine-like.
--> '''Tentomon:''' Oh, really? *charges Super Shocker*

** ArtisticLicenseNuclearPhysics was also averted here. After [[spoiler: Diablomon is defeated]], the ICBM he launched harmlessly crashed into Tokyo Bay. In his [[http://digipedia.db-destiny.net/fanatics_guide/fanatics_movie.htm ''Fanatic's Guide to Digimon'']] Chris [=McFeely=] was puzzled why the nuke doesn't go off. Latter, a fan cleared it up, stating that [[TruthInTelevision nuclear bombs don't blow up because of impact]].

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Myotismon, though he also carries several stereotypical traits [[spoiler: like coming back from the dead]].

[[folder: Tropes P - R]]

[[folder: Tropes S - T]]

** Wargreymon vs. Machinedramon. [[spoiler: Wargreymon depowers back into Koromon, with a cut appearing on his face. Machinedramon turns around to gloat, then falls apart into cleanly cut thirds before disintegrating.]]

-->'''Kari''': No!\\
'''Myotismon''': That's not a request!

[[folder: Tropes U - Z]]

** Episode 8: [[spoiler: Devimon reveals himself to the cast, splitting them across multiple islands after luring them into a mansion.]]
** Episode 13: [[spoiler: Patamon evolves into Angemon in the nick of time, defeating Devimon, but at the cost of his own life and his data is reconfigured back into a Digiegg.]]
** Episode 20: [[spoiler: After defeating Etemon (and achieving the heroes' first Perfect/Ultimate evolution), Tai and Koromon are warped through a portal back to Tokyo.]]
** Episode 21&22: [[spoiler: Tai enjoys his time in Tokyo but finds out the distortion caused by their last fight is influencing their world and causing multiple disasters all over the planet he then returns.

** Episode 27: [[spoiler: The kids discover that there is an 8th child, Myotismon opens a portal to Earth, moving through with his forces, and the heroes are too late to get to him before the portal closes.]]
** Episode 34: [[spoiler: Tai discovers his sister is the eight Digidestined, while Myotismon finds out that Gatomon is the destined Digimon, kidnapping her and (temporarily) killing Wizardmon.]]
** Episode 40: [[spoiler: The cast finds out that the Digital World has been taken over by four extremely powerful, malevolent Digimon, who easily defeat the heroes, causing Piximon to perform a HeroicSacrifice to save them.]]

* WhatTheHellHero: Tai in Episode 19. [[spoiler: After Izzy comes up with the idea they are all just data in the Digital World, Tai mistakenly assumes that this makes him unkillable in the Digital World and decides to treat it more like some game. Everyone is displeased with this display, the most noticeable of them being Sora who questions his every reckless action during the episode. Thankfully he snaps out of it, unfortunately this comes after a brief HeroicBSOD when he realizes he could have easily died due to this recklessness.]]

* YearInsideHourOutside: [[spoiler: Until the finale]], a day in the digital world is equal to a minute in the real world.
