01x03 - And to the Digital World

[bunniefuu]

In the year 2020 C.E.,

the human world is connected by a network.

Inhabiting it is
an unknown life form called Digimon.

Oh Yeah!
tsuyogatte tobinotte kaze ni natte

Oh Yeah!
Be strong, jump on, become the wind

oozora kidou wo koero

Pass the orbit beyond the sky

Blow away your worries and discontent

Who needs a journey that's by the book

Raise the altitude

Oh Yeah!

Oh Yeah!
Show off, mess up, stand back up

Now, be strong, jump on, become the wind

mejirushi ni shitesa

That lights tomorrow as a guide

tonde ike jiyuu na Glorious World

Fly off to the Glorious World of freedom

The mysterious Digimon that infests
the Network continues to evolve.

It transforms into a menacing figure
and overpowers Taichi and the others.

It goes on a rampage and
the m*ssile closes in on Tokyo.

That very moment...

Taichi.

Yamato.

Now,

let's go!

AND TO THE DIGITAL WORLD

Is this... a Digimon too?

Taichi-san! Yamato-san!

Can you hear me?

Koshiro?

Can you see the m*ssile's trajectory?

It's almost going to hit!

It looks like
there's a black box in the system.

We won't be able to stop the expl*si*n!

"Someone stop it!"

There's no choice,
let's blow the m*ssile up!

We have to do it ourselves!

We can do it now...

Go.

What's that?

Huh?!

It stopped working!

I wanted a picture...

No way! This is bad.

Oh, it turned back on.

I thought it broke!

What was that?

Is something wrong?

Uh-uh.

It's nothing.

Hello, Mom? Are you okay?

Uh, yeah.

I see.

Yeah, take care. See you later.

Phew.

How was your family?

Oh, they were fine.

Gee, I'm glad you picked up my phone!

Taichi-san, how on earth
were you able to return to this world?

Ermm...

We blew the m*ssile up,

then a bright light came over us.

And I was on the station platform
before I knew it.

Tell me how this side was that moment.

Yes.

After the m*ssile was knocked off
its trajectory by all of you...

it exploded far above Tokyo in the sky.

At the same time, all electronic devices
stopped working for a moment.

I think a phenomenon
like an electromagnetic pulse occurred.

When an enormous expl*si*n
occurs in an extremely high place,

devices and data in an area
are damaged as a result.

Normally, they would all break completely,

but the damages were momentary.

I wonder if a mysterious power intervened.

Hmm.

But... maybe the reason why
you were able to return

is because this world
and the world of the Network

were cut off due to the phenomenon.

Hmm...

By the way, that giant, white Digimon...

I wonder what that was.

Ermm...

Everything's a mystery...

Well, at least everyone's safe,
so let's leave it at that.

That's true!

Agumon and them weren't a dream, right?

Everything that happened this morning

is very clear in my memory.

Right.

Since you came over
and we ran out after seeing the news,

it hasn't even been an hour yet, huh?

I'm sure they're all fine.

Agumon, Garurumon, and Yamato-san too.

Yeah.

Yamato...

He probably went back
to where he's from too.

Oh...

In the end, I forgot
to ask him where he lives!

Oh! You're right...

What happened today is just between us.

Yes.

Well, no one would believe us
even if we did tell.

Hm?

Thanks, Koshiro.

Huh? I didn't do anything.

You looked everything up and informed us.

And supported us.

You really saved us all.

You're seriously awesome, Koshiro.

Thank you!

I'm glad I was able to help too!

If we get another chance,
let's go to that world together!

Okay!

Huh?

By the way...

Koshiro, didn't you come over to talk
about the camping trip?

Oh!

We're home!

Phew, what a hectic day!

I got a call earlier,

but your dad's place
was full of trouble too.

Now, gotta prepare dinner...

Oh, Hikari.

This morning was a disaster!
Were you scared?

Yeah, a little.

You did good!

Taichi... thank you.

Huh?

Oh, Taichi!

Did you finish preparing for camp?

That's right...

Were you okay there?

Um, yeah.

I was home all day today, so I'm fine.

I see, that's good.

You seem well.

Yeah, I'm good!

Hey, it's summer break,
so can we see each other?

Yeah, I'll come visit next time...

To Tokyo.

You kids!

You aren't cutting the vegetables right!
Leave this to the group leader here!

Time sure flies.

No one's even talking
about that incident anymore.

Seems like it.

Well, that's how it is.

About that m*ssile...

"It was launched in error by the U.S.,

and shot down
by their own defense missiles."

At least, that's the story online.

But we're the ones who blew that thing up.

So messed up.

That's why it's fun to search
for the real story behind the news.

You really are awesome.

My finger! I cut my finger!

Call an ambulance!

Whoa!

Hup.

There.

Sora, perfect timing.

Here!

Thank you so much!

Um...

You're Sora Takenouchi-san, right?

Yeah, you know me?

Yes.

Even in my class,

all the girls talk about you,
saying that you're really cool.

I'll introduce you. He's a fourth-grader.

I'm Koshiro Izumi.

Nice to meet you, Koshiro-kun.

Takenouchi-san!

Oh. Coming!

Then I'll see you.

-Yeah.
-Yes.

Sora-san is in the same class as you,
right Taichi-san?

Yeah, we go back a long way
before that though.

After that incident,
I've been thinking about what Digimon are.

One theory is that
when artificial intelligence develops,

it evolves into a life form.

You mean Agumon and them
are A.I. or something?

I'm not sure.

It doesn't really make sense, does it?

Besides, there's still
another question remaining.

Why did the m*ssile target Tokyo?

There's no theories even online.
Everyone's practically given up.

Well, yeah.

Maybe they wanted to blow us up

along with the city
because we got in their way?

That is a possibility.

If so, what was their original goal?

I have a feeling an incident
like that will occur again.

An unresolved mystery and Digimon.

I'm sure we haven't seen the last
of whatever we came across before.

Yeah, it doesn't feel like it's over yet.

Power outages have occurred

and are still spreading
in several areas in the city.

After investigation, its origin was found
to be a power supply network error.

Power companies are working
to find the cause of this error,

but there are no signs
of recovery as of yet.

There are growing concerns
that utilities will be affected.

The government has suggested...

Electronics going haywire before,

"Now a power outage..."

and now a power outage...

"I'm outside right now."

"Seems like our area isn't affected."

"And the internet's still working."

Oh yeah, I still have a connection...

"Trains are off-schedule."

According to the last case
and the current one,

I simulated
what would happen going forward.

If this power outage continues to grow...

in approximately 72 hours,
the city will completely stop functioning.

In other words, a blackout will occur.

The town we live in
is no exception either...

Um, Taichi-san!

Yours too?

It's lighting up!

But it's been quiet since that time...

Where are you now?

The bench in front of the station!

I'll be right there!

Taichi?

Are you going out?

Hikari, make sure to stay
inside the house.

With Mom.

Got that?

Okay.

Bye-bye.

Is it you?

Are you calling... for me?

We're the only ones...

who can stop this, right?

Let's do it once more...

Agumon!

It's different...

from before?

Taichi.

Agumon...

This is us Digimon's home...

the Digital World.

As if rolling out of control,
I ran frantically

korogaru youni gamushara ni hashitta

"What's waiting ahead?"

nani ga matteru no?

The headwinds told me

mukaikaze ga oshiete kuretanda

"Just believe and move forward"

shinjite susume

The bitter taste of defeat is a seed

yaburete shitta kuyashisa wa tane

It will eventually sprout
And become your wings

yagate mebuki hane to naru

I knock on those doors

sono tobira tataku riyuu

Because the present shapes the future

ima ga mirai wo tsukuru kara

If you want to find a rainbow

niji wo mitsuketai nara

You must lift your face

kao wo agenakuchatte

The hands that reached out to us
Make us much stronger

sashidasareta te ga
bokura wo zutto tsuyoku suru

If you want to catch your dreams

yume wo tsukamitai nara

Though the step forward is unsteady

furueru sono ippo mae ni

Try and take it

fumi dashite goran yo

Because you can surely fly now

ima nara kitto sora mo toberu kara

With Taichi and the others in danger,
Sora's Digivice lights up!

Next time on Digimon Adventure:
"Birdramon Soars"
