Digimon Seekers - The Beginning

0:00 Digimon Seekers announced in February as the project celebrating digimon's 25th anniversary has finally revealed its first chapters I have to say even though we all expected a new anime after ghost game this web novel feels like a mixture of Tamers and Savers and Promises to be a good addition to the Digimon franchise this video covers the first week or seven parts of the first chapter [Music] clickers is set in a Time dominated by technology and social media in a world that doesn't know much about the digital world those who do know about Digimon use them as tools of artificial intelligence for their own benefits the two main groups are called crackers and hackers code crackers use their great computer skills for illegal and gray

0:46 area freelance jobs hackers are a group of Vigilantes who hunt down crackers who commit Digimon crimes the market for those jobs is on the Grim a social network with the highest number of users Grim serves many functions but is also half illegal it has its own cryptocurrency called DC or Digi coin the main hero of the story is a code cracker agent Kasumi who goes by the name of fang The Story begins with a detailed description of a T-Rex dinosaur a carnivorous reptile that ruled over the land 67 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period the largest among them was 13 meters long and weighed up to 9 tons but this T-Rex is different from scientific 3D models made on the basis of excavated fossils first of all this dinosaur is much smaller unlike the tier tracks we know well this one has developed four legs with three claws

1:32 that can tear the flash of its prey this creature is called tyranamon and it is an adult level dinosaur type data species Digimon but this tyranomon is not alone he is a part of a group of three hunting for prey in a coordinated attack these creatures have advanced intelligence and they drove their prey deep inside the subway tunnel even though it is Pitch Black down here the randomon are very aware of their surroundings but a tornado forms out of nowhere sending one of the pteranimon flying a close range attack delivers the finishing blow and tyranimon is silenced by a counter-attack of its prey this won't start spreading like static AG is sitting by the counter of a fast food restaurant with a soft drink hibar with a coupon he is obviously struggling with money just last year he was a Carefree high school student and now he's browsing for freelance work on Grim

2:19 there is a bounty of 100 million Digi coins to capture a black Agumon alive and unharmed 100 million Digi coins is close to 1 million dollars it would enable AEG to live for 10 years without worrying about work but reading through comments he realizes it is not a realistic goal to catch a black Agumon Aegis stops swiping his phone to check another Gadget he has it's handheld sized with a monochrome LCD display and buttons there is a pixelated pteranimon on the screen with access For Eyes the tyranimon defeated in the subway was Aegis and so are the other two he was using them for a mission to capture a model kibetamon he needs to complete this job or else he won't have money for food AG has a meeting planned with terminatory rusenji a professor at the Tokyo Dano University and one of the founders of the Aberdeen Electronics the

3:04 Dano University was established by the government for science Majors who shaped the future of Science and Technology Aberdeen Electronics or AE for short is the leading company in network equipment and many other technology Fields the two buildings are located next to each other in the dandrin district in Tokyo professor isanji in addition to teaching at the Dental University is also a researcher in AES digital lab or ddl for short the lobby of ddl large TV screens play scenes of nature in an endless loop there are also 3D projections of floating spheres with symbols for data virus and vaccine attributes of Digimon AG is not too happy with having to give his full name for the entrance form instead of using his Alias Fang also he had to hand over his belongings and go through a body check in order to meet

3:50 professori Sanji the professor is a man in his 60s about 170 centimeters tall with a chiseled face and gray hair his appearance is slightly Caucasian and he appears much younger than he is his presence commands respect from those around him as the eyes of the people in the lobby follow him across the room he is also a very wealthy man being one of the co-founders of AE he has 20 of its shares which are valued at more than 100 billion dollars this is the first time AJ meets professor isenji in person but they have been exchanging voice messages for a while now Professor takes him to the DeForest section of the lab because he wants to show him something the security of the D4 section seems to be on the top level as they pass through several or heavily guarded Gates professor isanji says the DeForest section is guarding the ae's top secret project as they

4:36 enter what seems like a theater they can see an ocean of networks inside with servers of Nations from around the world floating on Islands or ships beneath the waves there is a deep sea region the projections are accompanied by an audio guide who says the digital world is a cyberspace that stretches out from Beyond the digital Network the projection shows images of beautiful Wilderness similar to those AG saw in the entrance Lobby the 3D projections are known as hololies a technology used for digital science throughout the city the guide goes on to introduce the creatures living in this Digital World Digital Monsters known as Digimon one of these Digimon shown on hololysis looks like a tadpole on the verge of becoming a frog with a body that looks like a watermelon and a red dorsal fin that looks like a mohawk this is batamon a child level amphibian type virus species

5:22 Digimon the guide describes Digimon as AI forms the digital world is their home and they span across different kinds of animals machine or chemical phenomena but also mythological creatures gods and demons the research about this world and its history is still ongoing but we know they have three basic attributes and they can go through several stages of evolution there are two ways to obtain Digimon in the digital world to capture them or to collect their eggs known as digidama it is generally accepted that Digimon don't have a gender they are neither male or female they are born when Digimon dies and leaves behind data that can be called its Soul while this sounds like reincarnation it is not yet proven as researchers still don't fully know everything about the Ecology of Digimon the digital world has phenomena coming to the real world like weather mountains of garbage and flow of matter

6:09 one Theory says that when the digital world and the real world made contact data from The Real World circulated to the digital world bringing with it both good and bad things like colonialists when they discovered a new continent the three floating spheres AG saw in the lobby now reappear and Professor isenji explains they stand for virus data and vaccine the three attributes that form the basis of a digimon's taxonomy Professor also says that Digimon have revolutionized Human Society by applying their AI to further civilization in many fields like software development and medicine but the digital world is still a secret to Mankind and the majority of humans don't even know it exists and that might be a good thing because Digimon can be misused for cyber terrorism known as Digimon crimes the projection shows an example of such a crime as a terrorist uses a digimon to

6:56 bring down a passenger airplane the video feed was coming from a smartphone camera of one of the passengers AEG and Professor move on to Professor's office where aj gives him his Digimon dock a gadget he uses to deliver his Goods the professor connects the dog to his lab equipment and the Digimon age he captured is halalized it is the mother kibet amount that Professor requested Professor tells AG that the video they saw in the theater was a promotional video for a theme park the AE Plan called Digimon land but the project was shelved for good Aegis says that he knows some people keep Digimon as pets but for him they are just useful tools Professor explains to AG that Digimon are living creatures not just 3D projections the video they saw was not a fake promotional video but generated from observed data and imagery of the digital world

7:41 this made AG think about the Digimon he used with his digital dock like tiranimon professor says that in recent years there has been a lot of network failures information theft and cyber terrorism and Digimon had a lot to do with it one of the reasons why world leaders agreed to keep Digimon a secret is that their existence would cause mass chaos the media would present Digimon as evil Invaders from another world as Professor completes the transfer of monokie batamon he tosses Aegis duck to the trash making agree risenji says that AEG shouldn't use such outdated equipment made from used parts because it almost destroyed the model kibetamon's data he gives AGA his new state-of-the-art Digimon Linker as AEG puts it on his wrist he feels like a child again when his parents bought him a new video console or his first smartphone he felt his whole world

8:28 expanding the Linker is a prototype Professor developed and it has a biometric sensor so it can only be used by the person it is registered to it can also horalize Digimon professor says he gave him the Linker because he wants to see what he can do with it on his next job as Professor pressed a switch on the side of the Linker it flickered with a mysterious flame and the Digimon AG has never seen before appeared on the screen lugamon child level magical Beast type virus species in the meantime deep at the bottom of the network in the digital world at the last Coast a beach of red Iron sand suspicious Digimon appear the police are tracking espion child level virus type Digimon they find their appearance hard to describe and Report they are collecting dgx and seem to be Bots a bot is a term used by Digimon police to

9:13 describe a digimon who is being used by a code cracker as a tool Deputy squad leader Satsuki tamahime and her officers surround the aspimon the officers are commandermon child level cyborg virus type Digimon they are equipped with police helmets and body armor the texture on their skin has a Warfare camouflage to blend in with their surroundings this allows them to approach the enemy undetected the espion turn now to be controlled by a group of high school students who were instructing them to collect dgx as if they were playing a video game as Satsuki tells them they have just broken several laws their espumon disappear they pressed buttons on their bellies and melted into the rusty Seaside background the commandrum on fire at them but the espyimon managed to slip past the police they don't do this by human commands it is their self-defense

9:58 function Satsuki gives an order and two more camouflage Digimon appear behind her they are mechanoremon adult level machine virus type Digimon they are three to four meters tall with appearance of a robot and a humanoid power suit they are also classified as special purpose vehicles and commandramon are in charge of piloting them mechanoremons attack twinkle beam fires out a laser that scratches one of the invisible aspimon his optical camouflage dissolves and he falls to the ground an attack called petite impulse released a bolt of lightning and one after another the blackened aspimon crash and become a wreckage a new player has entered the battle his name is pulseman child level Beast vaccine type it is difficult to take a good look at him since he moves at high speed in a zigzag pattern there is only one person the police know of to be using Postman

10:44 as his Digimon the hacker called the judge pulseman gives satuki a smile in the kiss and he disappears like a vault of lightning Satsuki is angry for being ridiculed and gets even more angry when she realizes that the dgx they were after are now gone from the beach back in the real world after his meeting with Professor yusenji AEG picks up food from a restaurant and heads home he lives in a small apartment with a loft there is an altar with pictures of his family his parents grandparents and his dog he says hello to them and heads to The Loft he is contemplating the task Professor just gave him unlike any other he's done before the professor asked him to train this new dog like Digimon lugamon digimon's Behavior largely depends on their upbringing and code crackers who have experience with Digimon can serve as their Tamers and

11:30 influence their lives AG is both very excited and afraid but he believes that as long as he follows the professor's lead he should have no issues even though he has very little experience in training Digimon AEG gets attached to lugamon quickly and feels the need to take care of him he feels like logomon is a child that he carries in his heart he asks for advice from other Digimon Tamers on Grim but he doesn't get many answers AEG starts to wonder whether this task might be too big for him after all he hasn't taken care of anyone ever since his dog died when he was kid he wonders what it would be like to cross the border of this world and see the digital world for real not as a projection and wonders whether something would change when slogoman evolves she gets a notification on his phone a reply to the question he posted on Grim a fellow Digimon Tamer tells him it would

12:15 be a good idea to place his Digimon in a group of other Digimon so they can play with each other and learn AEG immediately connects his Digimon dark with his tyranimon to the Digimon Linker but in his excitement he didn't read the whole answer the fellow Digimon Tamer also told him that some Digimon are like dogs obsessed with their ranking in the pack so it is important that he disciplines his Digimon before putting him in a group AEG goes back to see the professor and they talk about Digimon Evolution Professor is looking forward to lugamon evolving and he promises AEG an incentive to train lugamon to evolve into an adult form Digimon even though they are AI need foods to grow but their food is data and information just like humans need books videos and education to grow Pokemon has four plates of food in front of him while tyranamon are shaking in the

13:01 corner it is obvious that lugamon became the leader of the pack even though he's a child level and tyranamon are adults AG is curious about the object on lugamon's head a mask with a shiny Jewel Professor Praises him for noticing but he's also not sure what it is either they decide to colonize lugamon which means to bring a 3D projection of him into the real world he is big and bulky about the size of a Husky he has blue fur and red eyes he is very fluffy and AEG has a desire to pet him the professor and AG inspector reported Professor designed to evaluate compatibility levels between Digimon and their Tamers and Ag and logomon's numbers are second to none even compared to best code crackers AEG hopes these numbers mean he will soon be able to evolve lugamon side note there is already an entry in the reference book

13:47 about lugamon so we know he evolves into lugerman that's something to look forward to in the next chapters what do you think about Digimon Seekers so far tell me your impressions in the comments below if you want to support me you can do so on patreon or buy me coffee the links are in the description below thank you for watching stay tuned for more Digimon videos PS make sure to follow my Community page on YouTube as I also post updates about upcoming videos there
