Adventures in the Digital World
This section tells you about the exciting adventures in Digimon Fusion.
Mikey's First Journey
Mikey Kudo gets a special device called the Fusion Loader. With it, he can combine his Digimon partners. He forms a team called the Fusion Fighters. They travel to the Digital World. There, Mikey learns about a powerful villain, Lord Bagramon. Bagramon wants to control the Digital World. He is collecting 108 special items called Code Crowns. Mikey and his team try to collect these fragments too. They want to stop Bagramon. Mikey, Angie Hinomoto, and Jeremy Tsurugi are sent back home. But Mikey soon returns to the Digital World. He leaves his friends behind to continue the fight.
Facing the Seven Kingdoms
Lord Bagramon creates an empire. He divides it into seven kingdoms. Mikey, along with Christopher Aonuma and Nene Amano, must defeat a general in each kingdom. They discover that Bagramon is using a boy named Ewan. Ewan is helping Bagramon. The villains are gathering negative energy. This energy turns the Code Crown fragments into a Dark Stone. Mikey saves Ewan from Bagramon's influence. He then gets all the fragments back. Finally, Mikey's main Digimon partner, Shoutmon, defeats Bagramon. They plan to bring peace to both the Digital World and the human world.
The Boy Hunters' Challenge
One year later, Mikey finds a strange new place. It's a realm between the human and Digital Worlds. A new enemy, Quartzmon, is absorbing data from everywhere. This place is called DigiQuartz. It's where "Digimon Hunters" capture Digimon. They also feed on people's negative feelings. A mysterious Clock Store Owner helps Mikey. This owner is actually a changed Bagramon. He brings together heroes from many different universes. Tagiru and Gumdramon use a special weapon. It's Bagramon's lost arm, called "Brave Snatcher." They use it to defeat Quartzmon. Both worlds are saved and restored. All the humans and their Digimon partners return home. The series ends with Mikey, Tagiru, and their friends thinking about their future.
