Fan:Digimon 2021 multimedia universe

Digimon 2021 film series is a fanon live-action film series idea started by CAJH, the creator of Digimon Cinematic Sagas and The Digiversum. After cancelling the final ideas of his previous two film franchise ideas, he decided to start a new one, with the intention of finally making one last a franchise idea without cancelling it before it finishes, and hoping to make his third and final film series idea into less ”fanfictional”. This time CAJH was also more open for ideas from other fan fiction makers, if those ideas can find proper places in the story.

This far some of the plot points and story ideas are based on 1999 Digimon Adventure and 2020 Digimon Adventure: continuities and the recurring elements from the Digimon mythology. The main characters also start in the age of 9-13 and the film series idea is developed to tell about their time as the Chosen Ones to their early adulthood.

The project started in December 2020 and instead of writing longest plot descriptions as possible, the articles are meant to include an early story draft lists, with the intention of updating them later with help from other FANDOM users who wish to contribute.

Digimon
Nine children become involved with creatures called Digimon who come from a world inside the Network and who are threatening all technology in New York City.

The film acts as the first chapter of the story. The story introduces six main Chosen Ones: Taichi Yagami, Matt Jephson, Sonya Tarkovsky, Connor Smith, Mimi Thwaites, Joe Kent. Tyler Whitaker, Hikari Yagami, and Will Dunham are included as supporting character who will join the Chosen Ones in later films. Agumon, Gabumon, Piyomon, Tentomon, Palmon, Gomamon, and their Adult Level forms are introduced as well. The main villains of the film are the Algomon who are awakened by a secret background villain.

Digimon: Light and Dark
The Chosen Ones start to search for lost partners of their newest members while preparing to face their nemesis Devimon, who wishes to launch even greater threat on the Network.

The film acts as the second chapter of the story. Tyler and Hikari were yet to properly meet their own Partner Digimon while Will still did not have combat experience, making them the ”Light” of the story while Devimon and his Infected Digimon are the ”Dark” of the story. The six main Digimon learn to super evolve to the Perfect Level, while Patamon, Tailmon, Lopmon, and their Adult Level forms are introduced as well.

Digimon: Armorization
The youngest members of the Chosen Ones join forces with three new members to use the ancient art of Armor Evolution against a human who wishes to use the power of the Digital World for his own end.

The film acts as a ”middle chapter” between the second and third chapters of the story. The new Chosen Ones join the group: Hikari’s childhood friend Dyson Motomiya, Tyler’s Mexican American neighbour Milena Iglesias, and Tyler’s other neighbour Jonny Hicks. Ken Ellsworth also appears as the main villain: the Digimon Emperor, with Devimon still lurking around as a supporting villain. Ten Armor Level forms are also introduced.

Digimon: World Disaster
While preparing for the final battle against Devimon and Vamdemon, the thirteen Chosen Ones are threatened by a power that can cause worldwide destruction in both worlds.

The film will act as the third chapter of the story. Devimon, along with Vamdemon, the background villain behind the Digimon Emperor's actions, returns from previous installments. This time they are joined by a new villain Eyesmon. Agumon and Gabumon ultimate evolve to the Ultimate Level, while Veemon, Wormmon, Patamon, Tailmon and Lopmon super evolve to their Perfect Level forms.

Digimon: War for Evolution
The Chosen Ones start learning more about their true role and become more aware of very ancient powers of darkness and new enemies who want to help it return to the Digital World.

The film will act as the fourth chapter of the story. This installment will introduce new enemies and more Ultimate Level forms for the Partner Digimon.

Development
While discussing with CLTwins15 about potential story ideas that were left out of Cinematic Sagas and the Digiversum, CAJH made a decision to make a third film series idea. He also planned that this time the story would start with main characters being 11 years old, two years younger than the main characters of the Cinematic Sagas or Digiversum. And no government organizations or private companies are involved. CAJH also hoped that he could have multiple people join his ”Digimon 2021 Fan Fiction Film Series Story Idea Group” to help develop this fan fiction. The project, however, proceeded without CLTwins15 due to creative differences about one character from CLTwins15's own fan fictions.

The previous film series ideas had also started before real-life anime film Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna as well as the Digimon Adventure:, reboot of the Adventure continuity, premiered. And CAJH wished to adapt some of the new villains to these new stories. Although CAJH liked the stories he wrote, he came to consider that Cinematic Sagas was too dependent of adapting existing stories and that the idea of the Digiversum as a shared universe didn't sound like something a real filmmaker would be very likely to do. And he also admired the idea of Adventure: making the threats of the Digital World affect the real world through technological problems rather than disrupting the interdimensional balance.

CAJH was also interested of the approach used by Harry Potter films and Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man films of having each sequel take one school year later than its predecessor. He also 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, Hikari Yagami and Will Dunham would not participate in battles during the first film, ”making them new members, in a way” in the sequel.

CAJH hoped to make one of the films focus completely on Armor Evolution and introduce characters based on Adventure 02. He was also considering a possibility of introducing Vamdemon in a potential film set between Light and Dark and Armorization and make Devimon die before Armorization, but finally decided decided to use Devimon a little bit longer. Armorization was made into ”Chapter Two and Half” instead of ”Chapter Three”, due to the original six Chosen Ones being only supporting characters.
