Digimon Ghost Game (デジモンゴーストゲーム Dejimon Gōsuto Gēmu?) is the tenth Digimon anime series. It began airing on October 3, 2021. This series has a darker tone than prior Digimon anime series and is the first series to utilize the horror genre.
On March 6, 2022, a hacker hacked Toei Animation's network. This caused Toei to put all their shows on indefinite hiatus, including Ghost Game — which had thus far aired 21 episodes.[1][2] It returned on April 17.[3] It is available to be streamed on Crunchyroll.
Development[]
Digimon Ghost Game was announced at DigiFes 2021 on August 1, 2021[4] however it was originally leaked on Chinese social media on July 28.[5] On August 7 the poster was changed to a new version, the only difference being Kiyoshiro's left hand covered in bandages.
Toei Animation decided to make Digimon Ghost Game a villain of the week show as they found that children of the generation of the year the series came out have low attention spans due to Youtube and TikTok and were worried that if they made a show with an extended plot they would get bored after only a few minutes and stop watching the the show entirely.[6]
Plot summary[]
In the near future, holograms are a common technology. Digimon are arriving in the Human World and their sightings by people result in urban legends of "Hologram Ghosts". Hiro Amanokawa lives a normal school life at Hazakura Private Academy, until he receives a message from his missing father, Hokuto Amanokawa, entrusting him with Gammamon and the Digivice -V-. With the help of Ruli Tsukiyono, Angoramon, Kiyoshiro Higashimitarai, and Jellymon, Hiro and Gammamon investigate the paranormal phenomena caused by Digimon, who are usually misguided or confused by their presence in the Human World.
The team eventually befriends Bokomon, a very knowledgeable Digimon who helps the team understand some of the mysteries about the two worlds, and his assistant Tapirmon. Bokomon is eventually killed by Sealsdramon, which causes Gammamon to digivolve into GulusGammamon, who has a more violent personality than Gammamon's other forms and is willing to kill his enemies. Tapirmon tells the kids about Bokomon's wish for them to become a bridge between humans and Digimon, which motivates them to continue their efforts.
As the team continues solving problems caused by Digimon, they are joined by Espimon. Hokuto eventually upgrades the kids' Digivices into the Digivice -VV-, allowing their Digimon to warp digivolve, and later mega digivolve. During their battles against Kuzuhamon and Lilithmon, they learn someone is sending Digimon to the Human World for an unknown purpose.
