Digimon Frontier 02 (デジモンフロンティア02 Dejimon Furontia Zero Tsū) is a Japanese anime television series, and the nineth series produced as part of the Digimon franchise. It first aired in 2018. The Legendary Warriors return to the Digital World when a new evil arises, old affiliations of Lucemon and his Royal Knights threaten the existence of both worlds, and only the power to the Digimon Spirits can stop them. With old friends and new allies, the legend to save the worlds is far from over.

Plot summary

Years ago, the Digital World was ruled by the Digimon King, a mega level who could assume the shape of both beast and human. However his time was ended, and soon the hostilities between the human and beast Digimon arose. Seven Digimon set about taking control of the situation, until Lucemon betrayed them, defeating and stealing their fractal codes. When the war was brought to a close, Lucemon assumed his true colours and was eventually put down by Ten Legendary Warriors. Only AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon survived to see Lucemon sealed away rather than destroyed, knowing that the loss of his evil would unleash a worse foe. Using recovered fractal codes, the two ancients allowed them to be reborn as the Celestial Digimon, Seraphimon, Ophanimon, and Cherubimon, before separating the fractal codes of the Legendary Warriors into spirits codes should they be needed again in the future.

Years later, Lucemon's influence infected Cherubimon, who in turn attacked Seraphimon and imprisoned Ophanimon to gain total control of the Digital World. Ophanimon reached out to five humans who would gain the powers of the Legendary Warriors to defeat him. Overcoming all their obstacles and freeing the five other warriors, Cherubimon was restored, but Lucemon returned thanks to the Royal Knights. He destroyed the Digital World and was set to attack the Human World, until the Ten Spirits merged to become Susanoomon and defeated him once and for all. With their mission over, the warriors were sent hom as the Digital World began to reform anew, free from Lucemon's tyranny forever.

One year later, since Lucemon's second defeat at the hands of the Digidestined, the Legendary Warriors; Takuya Kanbara, Koji Minamoto, Zoe Orimoto, Tommy Himi, J.P. Shibayama, and Koichi Kimura are called back to the Digital World after several years of peace, that has ended again. But this time, the challenge may exceed what they are capable of.

Tomb of the King

Set during the Royal Knights Arc, the kids are travelling through the desert when they come across a city almost completely buried in the sand. They detour to check it out, when it turns out to be the castle of the Digimon King;

Long ago, the five Digimon Gods ruled over the Digital World, and created the Digimon based on basic beasts that they had seen from the Human World, citing their strengths in individual complexities. But some of the Digimon also saw through to the Human World, and admired the humans rather than the beasts, and thus some digivolved to appear more human than beast. The tensions between the two sides eventually escalated as they both digivolved stronger over time. Unable to intervene directly, the Gods took two Digimon, one human, and one beast; both of whom had been friends, but both of whom who had died as a result. The two were merged into one being, Imperialdramon, the first Mega Level Digimon to be created, who could assume the shape of both human and beast. Imperialdramon became the Digimon King, and Digimon from both sides sent their strongest to serve as his Royal Knight to uphold the peace between the two species.
Alphamon, Examon, Gallantmon, Magnamon, Omnimon, UlforceVeedramon; the first six Royal Knights.

As they journey further into the castle, the fractal codes of the fallen knights that exist within the castle reform into almost solid forms of the defeated knights. All of their spirits attack them through the collection of rooms and halls in the castle, which eventually separates them.

While in the castle, two groups eventually run back into each other as they also run into a pair of Digimon that are lurking in the castle. Takuya, Zoe and Tommy run into Wormmon, while Koji, J.P. and Koichi meet Veemon. The two Digimon lead them to the main throne room to the memorial to the Digimon King. There, they are all ambushed by the seven knight spirits. The six warriors evolve, but are not strong enough. However, the reunion of Veemon and Wormmon allowed the spirit of Imperialdramon to reappear. He affirms that the six warriors are not evil, allowing the knights to rest again knowing their king is safe, returning to their Digieggs.

The warriors are allowed to leave the castle, with Imperialdramon's blessing, as the castle sinks beneath the sands.

Trivia

  • The character designs for the previously unknown fusion evolutions forms were inspired by those drawn by Plzgaiasrebirth and NeoArchAngemon.
    • JetSilphymon, RhinoBeetlemon, and Daipenmon are all canon fusion forms, but I thought they didn't resemble what a Fusion form should look like (Daipenmon the least).
  • The character designs for the previously unknown rookie stages were inspired by those drawn by NeoArchAngemon and Aki-ta.
  • The ideas for the character redesigns and the idea for the Five Elemental Guardians were inspired by Sora Misaki's blog.
  • The idea to introduce the Seven Great Demon Lords into the story was based on the original idea by Blaid.
  • The ideas for the story are based on the works of Aquamarine6996 and Kaito Lune.
  • Certain members of different groups were left out in this season for various reasons;
    • Beelzemon was left out due to his major appearances in Digimon Tamers and Digimon Xros Wars/Fusion. He replaces Daemon as Seraphimon's demon lord form.

    • Laylamon was left out due to her major appearance in Digimon Xros Wars/Fusion. She carries as Ophanimon's demon lord form.
    • Omnimon, Magnamon and Gallantmon were left out as they were Digivolved forms of the leaders Digimon of the previous seasons. They appear in the movie though as deceased knights.
    • Examon was left out because he was too monstrous than knight-like. He appears in the movie though as a deceased knight.
    • UlforceVeedramon was left out because he had a too close association to Veemon. He appears in the movie though as a deceased knight.
