History Anime / DigimonDataSquad

* InconsistentDub: Many Digimon who appeared in past seasons have their names, attacks, or both changed from their previous appearances, in the dubbed version at least.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Touma/Tohma/Tooma.
** For the English dub, several Digimon names were improperly translated, like [=LoadKnightmon=], [=BioSupinomon=], [=BioRotosmon=], and [=ElDradimon=]. Jeff Nimoy stated that Toei themselves asked for these names to be used, even if the Digimon already had dub names.

* ShiningGoodness: The Burst Mode.

** For [[MrFanservice the ladies]], we have [[NakedOnArrival the way]] [[{{Bishonen}} Tohma/Thomas]] [[ShowerScene is introduced]] in the Japanese version. Sadly (but understandably), this was cut from the dub.

Set in a world where the barrier between the Digital World and Human World is starting to fall apart, the ''Digital Accident Tactics Squad'', or ''D.A.T.S.'', protects Tokyo from emergent Digimon while using Digimon partners themselves. During the escape of a lone Agumon, 14-year-old street fighter [[IdiotHero Masaru Daimon]] [[DubNameChange (Marcus in the dub)]] gets involved with the organization. He is partnered with fellow agents [[TheChick Yoshino Fujieda]] (Yoshi... [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros no, not that one!]]) and [[TheLancer Touma H. Norstein]] (Thomas), and they are tasked with subduing Digimon emerged into the real world and preventing the havoc they would cause. Soon, however, things gradually begin to become far more complicated than any of them expected, as the Digital World shows signs of fighting back against mankind.

** By extent, their human partners as well: a HotBlooded , feisty, orange-themed [[TheHero hero]] with a Agumon [[OrangeBlueContrast contrasting]] [[RedOniBlueOni with]] a blonde and reserved blue-themed [[TheLancer lancer]] with a wolf-like digimon and a [[TheChick girl]] with some self-confidence issues who grows stronger with the help of her plant digimon. Yes. Marcus, Thomas and Yoshi are basically based on Tai, Matt and Mimi respectively from the original series.

** This addition of the franchise is particularly much more fanservice-laden compared to the earlier seasons. Once Lalamon becomes Rosemon, [[MsFanservice she becomes the vehicle for most of it]], including her evolution sequence showing off her features, [[{{Gainaxing}} bouncing]] at random moments, and having an attack that basically strips her when she uses it. Much of this was edited out of the dubbed version of the anime.

* TurtlePower: Kamemon and his digivolutions.

* MoreThanMindControl: Thomas again. C'mon, it's practically a contractual obligation in this franchise. [[spoiler:Kurata blackmailed him using his IllGirl sister. He made up for it by showing he was intending to backstab Kurata from the beginning.]]

** Despite being the main protagonist, InUniverse Marcus also fills this role: he begins the series as an outsider compared to the DATS team, joins the team under what's established as somewhat unorthodox circumstances, and is accepted into the team primarily because he's less of a liability if they can keep an eye on him.

** Despite being the main protagonist, InUniverse Marcus also fills this role: he begins the series as an outsider who's brought into the well-established DATS team under unorthodox circumstances and who, at first, is accepted into the team primarily because he's less of a liability if they can keep an eye on him.

* ProtagonistPowerUpPrivileges: Completely averted. All of the main characters' Digimon get [[SuperMode Burst Modes]]
