Digimon

The new chapter in the Digimon Xros Wars series, Time Traveling Hunter Boys, finally begins! The story takes place one year after the battle with the Death Generals. Taiki has started a basketball team, Xros Heart, with his school underclassmen Yuu and Tagiru. Life has been peaceful. Then, one day, the air before Taiki flickers and a monstrous shadow flashes before his eyes. He then meets three mysterious characters - Ryouma, Ren, and Airu - who tell him "This town may become a bit chaotic. Our own game is about to begin." What could these words mean...?! The next day, Tagiru hears the voice of a Digimon on the verge of death, Gumdramon. This leads him to DigiQuartz, a game world inhabited by Digimon. Fascinated by a Digimon Hunt he witnesses there, Tagiru teams up with Gumdramon and starts on his way to becoming a Digimon Hunter!

Students from Tagiru's school are disappearing one after another! Meanwhile, Tagiru and Gumdramon have sensed something moving in the Digimon realm, DigiQuartz. Following its trail, they discover someone, or something, carrying a boy from Tagiru's school... Tagiru rushes to follow him, but then he's attacked by Sagomon, a Digimon that looks like a kappa! As even experienced Digimon Hunters call Sagomon a tough customer, Tagiru and Gumdramon are no match for his fierce attacks... Soon after, Tagiru confronts Sagomon again. He Digivolves Gumdramon in an attempt to capture Sagomon, but they are only pushed back further. When Taiki, who has been watching their struggle, declares "I can't turn my back on them!", Shoutmon hears him and responds. After reloading from Taiki's Xros Loader, Shoutmon Digivolves and gains further power through a DigiXros fusion. He then launches his attack on Sagomon! How will their battle end?!

An email from Pinocchimon appears on the computer used by the robot club at Tagiru's school. Pinocchimon shows Tokio and the other club members a blueprint and some parts and asks them to help him build a robot, luring them to the Digimon world, DigiQuartz. From that day onward, Tokio and the other club members turn up absent from school. As requested by the teacher, Tagiru visits Tokio's house accompanied by Taiki and Yuu. When he sees Tokio working on building a robot as if possessed, Tagiru grows suspicious and decides to observe his movements. Tagiru and the others then watch as Tokio opens an email and enters DigiQuartz through a portal that opens in his computer screen! They rush after him and find themselves in an industrial area in DigiQuartz. They call upon the strengths of their Digimon companions Gumdramon and Shoutmon to locate Tokio and resume the chase. When they follow Tokio into a factory, they find a nearly completely assembled GigaBreakdramon...?! Tagiru and the others try to bring Tokio back from DigiQuartz, but at that moment Pinocchimon appears and starts up GigaBreakdramon. A new battle begins - how will it end?!

When Tagiru's classmate Miho Sudo grows jealous of the school's higher-ranked honor students, she ends up possessed by a Digimon! The next day something strange happens to the top two honor students, Mishima and Takahashi, in the middle of class. Their skin suddenly turns brown and they appear to wither, as if something is sucking the nutrients out of them. Sensing that this is a Digimon's doing, Tagiru warps to the Digimon world, DigiQuartz. There he sees strange things that look like plant vines scattered throughout the school and wrapped around Mishima and Takahashi, as if to conceal them. Tagiru and Gumdramon attempt to find out just how far the vines reach. Just then the Digimon Hunter Ren appears and tells Tagiru that the vines themselves are a Digimon, and a very strong one that keeps its true form hidden. When Ren has his Digimon partner Dracmon bite through a vine, Miho, back in the real world, appears to feel intense pain. Then the Digimon that had wrapped itself completely around Miho and assimilated her body, Blossomon, appears! When Miho and Blossomon warp to DigiQuartz, a fierce battle with Tagiru and company begins!!

Yuu still hasn't forgotten the pain caused by the loss of his Digimon partner, Damemon. When the Digimon Hunter Airu sees one of Yuu's long-cherished Digimon, Cutemon, her heart is instantly taken! In order to steal Cutemon, she takes Yuu to the Digimon world, DigiQuartz, and traps him. Cutemon tries desperately to save him, but his strength is nowhere near enough... Tagiru and Gumdramon manage to save Yuu and Cutemon once, but of course, Airu has no intention of giving up! She continues to relentlessly pursue Cutemon. Eventually the Digimon Hunters Ryouma and Ren, along with Tagiru, Taiki, Shoutmon, and Dorulumon, also become involved in the heated conflict...!

Ninth grader and master swordsman Musashi Kenzaki, who sees Taiki as his rival, begins to undergo kendo training with a Digimon named Kotemon. As this goes on, incidents of rampant test attacks begin to occur! Sensing that a Digimon might be involved, Tagiru sets out on a Digimon Hunt with Gumdramon. They then discover that Musashi is behind the test attacks. Musashi insists that he was fighting fair and square, that they were proper duels and not test attacks, but in the next moment he's surrounded by a black aura...! Is it Kotemon's doing, or is another Digimon behind this...?! Tagiru and company take a stand to find the truth behind Musashi's black aura!
