Digimon Fusion

Digimon Xros Wars (デジモンクロスウォーズ), pronounced Digimon Cross Wars, is the title of the sixth season in the Digimon franchise by Akiyoshi Hongo. Its first episode aired on July 6, 2010 on TV Asahi, making it the first series in the franchise to air on another network in Japan (Fuji Television aired all other seasons prior to Xros Wars).

Three and a quarter years after the end of the fifth season, a new sixth series was confirmed by Bandai for the Digimon anime. The official name of the series was revealed in the June issue of Shueisha's V Jump magazine. It is set to air in Japan on July 6, 2010 on TV Asahi. Among the Digimon to be included in this new series are Shoutmon (the main character, Taiki Kudou's partner), Dorulumon, Ballistamon, Greymon, Monitamon, Starmon, and Shoutmon X4. Early pictures demonstrate that the character designs in Xros Wars will be more like the first four seasons than the ones seen in Data Squad, such as the main character wearing a pair of goggles.

The premiere of this new series coincides with a series of straps that will be sold in capsule toy vending machines by the end of July.

No official word has been confirmed on whether it will be dubbed and aired in North America or Europe, yet.
