The
3rd Digimon Movie:
The
latest Digimon movie is divided into two parts: "Digimon Hurricane
Touchdown!" and "Supreme Evolution! The Golden
Digimentals!". This movie takes place somewhere between episodes 11
and 14 of Digimon: Zero Two. The setting of this movie is New York City,
and the Digidestined must travel there to stop a new enemy. This movie
introduces a new Digidestined, Wallace, along with his good Rookie
Digimon, Terriermon, Japanese name being Teriamon. The enemy of this movie
is Wallace's other Digimon, who's In-Training form is Chocomon. Fox Kids
has added Wallace, Chocomon and Gumimon(Terriermon's In-Training form)
into the first part of the Digimon Movie(the Japanese 2nd movie) to tie
the two movies together. During the battle with Diablormon, Chocomon was
accidently sucked into the Internet, and became trapped there. Chocomon
grew up very confused, because the Internet is a scary place. Chocomon
digivolved to Lopmon, and then to his Champion form, Wendimon, a
beast-like Digimon with the ability to seal its enemies in another
dimension. Wendimon manages to return to the real world, and captures all
the old Digidestined(excluding TK and Kari) and locks them away in another
dimension, an ill-fated attempt to find Wallace. Wendimon is able to
digivolve to its Ultimate form, Antiramon, and then to its Mega form,
Kerubimon,making it a very difficult enemy to beat since Tai and Matt(the
only Digidestined children who's Digimon can achieve Mega) are trapped in
the other dimension. Kerubimon easily beat MagnaAngemon and Nefertimon
working together, but they managed to reach their Mega forms, MagnaDramon
and Seraphimon, and defeated Kerubimon. Aiding MagnaDramon and Seraphimon
were 2 new Armor Digimon, Magnamon and Rapidmon. Magnamon and Rapidmon are
special Armor Digimon. They digivolve using the Golden Digimentals,
special Digimentals that are much more powerful than the regular
Digimentals. Veemon uses the Digimental of Miracles to digivolve to
Magnamon, and Terriermon uses the Digimental of Fate to digivolve to
Rapidmon. After Kerubimon was defeated, the original Digidestined were
freed from the other dimension.
Wallace
and His Digimon
|
Wallace is the new Digidestined to add to the group. He appears
only in this movie. I am still unsure why Wallace is a
Digidestined(witnessed a Digimon battle, saw a Digimon, etc) but
I'm sure that info will show up soon. Wallace lives in New York
City, but speaks Japanese as well as English. Apparently he had a
girlfriend in Japan, and studied hard so he could actually talk
with her. Wallace has twin In-Training Digimon, Chocomon and
Gumimon. Gumimon's Rookie form is named Terriermon(see below) and
Chocomon's Rookie form is named Lopmon, though it never appears in
the movie. Teriamon also has a Champion form, Garugomon, as well
as an Armor form using one of the Golden Digimentals, Rapidmon.

Terriermon is Wallace's Rookie Digimon. Terriermon may appear to
be just a cute(though rather odd colored) bunny, but this little
guy packs quite a punch. Terriermon can fly by flapping its floppy
ears, and is able to shoot energy balls at its enemies.

Wendimon is the enemy of this movie. It is a Champion Digimon, and
has the unusual ability to seal its enemies away in another
dimension. Wendimon does this to all the original
Digidestined(excluding T.K. and Kari). Even stranger, while in the
other dimension, the occupants actually become younger! Why this
is so is still unknown. Wendimon can also travel large distances
on Earth by simply slipping into the other dimension and shifting
back. Wendimon is able to digivolve up to its Mega form, Kerubimon,
making it extrememly difficult to defeat.

Magnamon

As
previously stated, the 3rd Digimon Movie introduces the Golden
Digimentals. One of them, the one Davis is holding in the poster
at the top of the page, is the Golden Digimental meant to be
used by Veemon. It is still unknown how the Golden Digimentals
work, but apparently they work somehow, because with the Golden
Digimental, Veemon digivolved to Magnamon. Magnamon is much
stronger than Lighdramon or Fladramon, and wears golden armor over
most of its body. Magnamon looks a lot Fladramon except that he's a little bit taller, and of
course the obvious differences in their armors. Hopefully Magnamon
will be showing up the anime as well, because it kind of stinks to
bring in the Golden Digimentals and Magnamon and everything, and
then never use them again.
