Other Films

Digital Monster X-Evolution (2005)

Digital Monster X-Evolution (デジタルモンスター ゼヴォリューション, Dejitaru Monsutā Zevoryūshon) is the eighth Digimon film. It was special because it was the first Digimon movie to be shown on Japanese television first, on January 3, 2005. It was also the first Digimon movie made entirely with CGI animation. This film is unique because it's not directly connected to any of the Digimon TV series.

In the Digital World, there are too many Digimon. The supercomputer Yggdrasil, which created the world, starts a program called the X-Program. This program gets rid of most Digimon. Yggdrasil then creates a smaller, new Digital World. However, some Digimon gain a special vaccine called the X-Antibody. This makes them immune to the X-Program and gives them new powers and looks. Yggdrasil sends its powerful guards, the Royal Knights, to get rid of these X-Digimon.

The Royal Knights include Omnimon, who is very loyal, Gallantmon, who starts to question Yggdrasil, and the quiet Magnamon. The story follows Dorumon, an X-Antibody Digimon who looks like a dragon. He doesn't understand why other Digimon are against him. He teams up with other X-Digimon like WarGreymon X and MetalGarurumon X to fight against Yggdrasil's plan.

Gallantmon realizes Yggdrasil plans to wipe out all Digimon. He fights Omnimon to find the truth. Dorumon eventually Digivolves into Alphamon, a legendary Royal Knight. Alphamon and Omnimon team up to face Yggdrasil. They discover that Yggdrasil's actions were perhaps its way of trying to save the Digital World, even if it was too complex for it to understand. In the end, Alphamon sacrifices himself, giving his power to Omnimon, who defeats Yggdrasil. The Digital World is reset, and Dorumon returns to his original form.
