The Digimon Cartoon - Episodes 1-10
1 And So It Begins...
The first episode introduces the seven DigiDestined (known as the Chosen
Children in Japan) and their Digimon partners. Tai, Matt, Sora, Izzy, Joe,
Mimi and T.K. are at summer camp when they get transported to the DigiWorld.
There they meet Koromon, Tsunomon, Yokomon, Motimon, Bukamon, Tanemon and
Tokomon, their partner Digimon. They also have their first run-in with an
enemy Digimon, Kuwagamon, and their partners Digivolve to defeat the enemy.
Although many small changes were made from the original Japanese version,
the biggest change in the episode is that the North American version neglects
to mention how old the children are. Joe is in sixth grade, Tai, Matt and
Sora are in fifth, Mimi and Izzy are in fourth, and T.K. is in second.
2 The Birth of Greymon
After their battle with Kuwagamon, the children find themselves on a beach
with their newly Digivolved Digimon: Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon, Tentomon,
Gomamon, Palmon and Patamon. Everything seems safe until they're attacked
once again, this time by an even stronger enemy, Shellmon. Their Digimon
are no match for Shellmon, so Tai's partner, Agumon, Digivolves once more
into Greymon and saves the day.
3 Garurumon
The children find a train by the side of a lake and, tired from walking around
the island, decide to sleep there for the night. There's only one problem:
The train is sitting on Seadramon's back. Matt is caught by Seadramon when
he tries to help out his little brother T.K., and Gabumon Digivolves to Garurumon
to rescue Matt.
In the North American version, Matt tells the other children that T.K. is
his half-brother. In the original, they were full brothers.
4 Biyomon Gets Firepower
Emerging from the forest onto a savanna, the children arrive at a Yokomon
village. Mount Miharashi, the source of the village's water, was guarded
by Meramon, but an accident occurred and the water dried up. To save Sora
and the village from Meramon's attack, Biyomon evolves into Birdramon and
defeats Meramon. The children discover that Meramon was being controlled
by a Black Gear that had fallen from the sky.
5 Kabuterimon's Electro Shocker
At a factory outside of the savanna, the children come across Andromon, who
was caught in a machine and unable to move. Even though Andromon is supposedly
a good Digimon, he attacks the children. Izzy uses his computer to make Tentomon
evolve into Kabuterimon and defeat Andromon. It turns out that Andromon was
being controlled by a Black Gear.
6 Togemon in Toy Town
The children are attacked by a group of Numemon in an underground passage.
Mimi and Palmon run away but are then attacked by Monzaemon and get lost
in Toy Town. Monzaemon captures the other children, who have their emotions
erased. Palmon Digivolves into Togemon and defeats Monzaemon, who was also
being controlled by a Black Gear.
7 Ikkakumon's Harpoon Torpedo
Unable to proceed any further, the children begin to fight among themselves.
As the oldest, Joe feels it's his duty to stop the fighting, so he decides
to climb the mountain and find the source of the Black Gears. There he meets
Unimon, another Digimon possessed by a Black Gear. The other children come
looking for Joe and are also attacked by Unimon. Gomamon saves the day by
Digivolving into Ikkakumon. The children reach the top of Infinity Mountain
and find that File Island is just a small island in the middle of a huge
ocean.
8 Evil Shows His Face
The children rest in a house they find, but it turns out to be a trap set
by Devimon. Leomon, a good Digimon controlled by a Black Gear, and an evil
Digimon, Ogremon, attack the children. The Digimon Digivolve and try to attack
Devimon, but he is too strong for them. The island begins to break up and
the children are separated from each other.
There was a scene cut from the North American version of this episode. Originally
when the children were taking a bath, there was a shot from behind of Joe,
Matt and Tai naked.
9 Subzero Ice Punch
Tai and Agumon end up in a frozen wasteland. There they are attacked by Frigimon,
who was being controlled by a Black Gear. Once they remove his Black Gear,
Frigimon helps them find Matt and Gabumon, who have landed nearby. Matt and
Tai fight about what to do next, but eventually decide to return to Infinity
Mountain.
10 A Clue from the Digi-Past
Mimi and Palmon meet up with Izzy and Tentomon in the Dino Ruins. Mimi tries
to get Izzy to help her find the others, but he's so enthralled with the
ruins that he doesn't want to leave. They are attacked by a Black Gear Digimon,
Centaurmon. Once he is returned to normal, he tells them about their Digivices.
11 The Dancing Digimon
Joe and Gomamon meet up with Sora and Biyomon. They are captured by a group
of Bakemon and are about to be sacrificed. With help from Joe, Ikkakumon
and Birdramon defeat the Bakemon and escape.
In the Japanese version, Joe chanted Buddhist sutras to weaken the Bakemon.
12 Digibaby Boom
T.K. and Patamon are still on Infinity Mountain. There they find Primary
Village, where all the Digimon are born. Patamon and Elecmon (the caretaker
of the baby Digimon) get into a fight but eventually make up, and T.K. and
Patamon rejoin the others.
13 The Legend of the Digidestined
Devimon appears again to the children, this time as a huge version of himself.
None of the Digimon is a match for him, so finally Patamon Digivolves into
Angemon and is able to defeat Devimon. But Angemon used all his strength
in the battle and reverts to an egg. Once Devimon is vanquished, a mysterious
old man appears.
14 Departure for a New Continent
The old man, Gennai, tells the children of Tags and Crests that will enable
their Digimon to Digivolve even further. He says they can search for them
on the continent of Server. Leomon and the other good Digimon help the children
build a raft, and they sail for Server -- but on the ocean they're swallowed
by Whamon. They destroy the Black Gear in Whamon's stomach and he shows them
where their Tags are hidden.
15 The Dark Network of Etemon
Five days after they sail, the children reach Server, where they are attacked
by new enemies, Etemon and Gazimon. Their Digimon are no match for Etemon,
and the children realized that they need to Digivolve to a higher level to
have a chance. Tai finds the Crest of Courage.
16 The Arrival of Skullgreymon
Impatient to have Agumon Digivolve, Tai forces him to eat and eat. When faced
with an enemy Greymon sent by Etemon, Tai forces Agumon to evolve. But because
Tai had forced Agumon to evolve when both were unready, Agumon evolves to
SkullGreymon. Just as SkullGreymon is about to turn on the children, he uses
up his strength and devolves into Koromon. Joe finds the Crest of Reliability.
17 The Crest of Sincerity
As the party walks through the desert, it finds a huge cruise ship.
Unfortunately, it's a trap set of Kokatorimon, another of Etemon's henchmen.
Kokatorimon captures the boys and their Digimon, but Palmon and Biyomon save
the day. Mimi finds the Crest of Sincerity.
18 The Piximon Cometh
An enemy Digimon attacks the children, but remembering what happened before,
Tai is too scared to have Agumon evolve. Just in the nick of time, they're
rescued by Piximon, who takes them to his hideout for training. Matt and
Izzy slip away in the night to look for their Crests and find the Crests
of Friendship and of Knowledge. Tai and Agumon renew their faith in themselves
and Agumon is able to evolve again.
19 The Prisoner of the Pyramid
In the desert, T.K. finds the Crest of Hope. The children realize that the
DigiWorld is inside a computer network. This makes Tai cocky because he thinks,
wrongly, that since it's not real he can't be hurt. Datamon kidnaps Sora
in his plot for revenge against Etemon. Once Tai realizes that he's not
invincible, he hesitates and is unable to save Sora.
20 The Earthquake of MetalGreymon
Tai saves Sora from Datamon and Sora finds her Crest. Datamon tries to destroy
Etemon, but Etemon escapes and attacks the children. Agumon evolves into
MetalGreymon and defeats Etemon, but he and Tai are swallowed up in a dimensional
warp created by the battle. |
