Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01
Encyclopedia : D : DI : DIG : Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01
|} V-Tamer was the first and longest-running Digimon manga, printed in the pages of V-Jump magazine. Starting on November 21 1998, it ran to fifty-eight chapters and ended on August 21 2003. This manga introduces the character of Taichi - although it must be noted that he is not the same Taichi that features in the Digimon Adventure TV series even though both are quite similar in appearance and personality. V-Tamer takes place in an alternate universe. And may it also be noted that the creators did -not- "rip off" Taichi's character from the anime. It's quite a scandalous claim, actually, when in all actuality, the manga preceded the anime by a margin.
The story begins with Taichi being involved in a V-Pet tournament, where he is told he cannot play because the Digimon in his V-Pet isn't recognized as being a real Digimon. However, after the tournament is over, Taichi plays the winner of the tournament, a boy named Neo Saiba, and their battle ends in a tie - something that is supposed to be impossible, as Neo is recognized as the most powerful and gifted tamer ever. This shatters Neo's pride, and he swears to have revenge on Taichi one day. Later, Taichi is summoned to the Digital World by a HolyAngemon called Lord HolyAngemon, and there he meets the mysterious Digimon in his V-Pet, Zeromaru the V-Dramon. Taichi and Zeromaru travel to Lord HolyAngemon's castle with the aid of Gabo the Gabumon, and there Lord HolyAngemon begs Taichi to find the five Tamer Tags and defeat the evil Demon, who has disrupted the peace of the Digital World. This won't be an easy task, however, as each crest is guarded by a perfect, otherwise known as Ultimate in the English dub.
Along the way, more humans are brought to the Digital World by Demon, including Neo Saiba, Rei Saiba, Sigma, Mari Goutokuji, and Hideto Fujimoto. Neo is chosen to raise the Digimon that will hatch from the Super Ultimate egg Demon is raising. Rei Saiba, Neo's sister, has a Digimental that will allow the Demon's experimental Digimon to evolve to a level beyond Ultimate. The others, called the Alias III, are to help Neo and Demon with their Digimon. Hideto's Partner is Omegamon, formed by the Jogress of Org and Meluuga, a WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon respectively. Mari's Partner is a Rosemon and Sigma's is a Piemon. They are all villains that eventually reform except Rei, who has no Digimon Partner or evil intentions.
