Fan:Digimon: Light and Dark (2021 film)

Digimon: Light and Dark is a fanon live-action film idea created by CAJH. It is the sequel to Digimon and the second installment of the fanfictional film series idea. The story of the film is inspired by several elements from 1999 Adventure and 2020 Adventure: continuities as well as few recurring elements from Digimon mythologies. The story of the film starts one year after the events of Digimon.

The initial story idea of Digimon: Light and Dark was released to the Digimon Wiki on March 2021. But was later removed to be reworked for a better one. The ”Digimon 2021 Fan Fiction Film Series Story Idea Group” is also actively recruiting other people to suggest their own ideas or story changes for a potential full script.

Planned story elements
The story idea list is currently being redrafted.

Featured characters
(Numbers indicate order of appearance. Bolded characters are fought by the protagonist(s), and italicized characters feature non-explicitly, e.g. voice, silhouette, image.)

Development
CAJH planned from the very beginning that Devimon would be the first recurring antagonist of the fan fiction film series. He also planned that Tyler Whitaker and Hikari Yagami and would not participate in battles during the first film, ”making them new members, in a way” in the sequel.

CAJH decided that Light and Dark would indeed take one school year later than Digimon, but also decided that it might not be the case with every upcoming installment of the series. He explained that he would not want to write the films or plan a production schedule for them in a way to ”exhaust” potential actors or actresses. Centuarmon was decided to be left out from the sequel, due to CAJH not coming up with any good storyline idea for him. Leomon, Orgemon and Huckmon still remain as supporting characters. And the Chosen Ones’ relationships to their families were opened up even more as part of the ”Crests storyline”. As for the decision to introduce the first six Perfect Level forms in the sequel, CAJH explained that he needed to ensure that every main character of the film would have a proper storyline, just like in the first film.

Trivia

 * Unlike in 2000 Adventure: continuity, this version of Soundbirdmon does not possess an ability to brainwash Digimon. That role, as well the role of Black Gears, is given to the Infection that makes its return from the first film. But only in Light and Dark, the Chosen Ones manage to find a way to purify the Digimon from Devimon's Infection without any outside help.
 * This version of Devimon has minions who are familiar serving Vamdemon in 1999 Adventure continuity or Millenniummon in 2000 Adventure: continuity.
 * SkullGreymon was initially planned not to appear and the parents were not initially meant to find out the truth about their children in this film, but that was changed for the benefit of the story.

Digimon: Worlds Collide
The second installment, a sequel titled Digimon: Light and Dark, focuses on facing a greater villain behind the previous challenges of the Chosen Ones and finding the eighth Chosen One and the second Holy Archangel.
