WELCOME TO THE DREAM OF THE DIGITAL WORLD ARCHIVE
Commemorating 7,000 followers on Twitter!
The Digital World Archive is where I share everything I know about Digimon, from the old V-Pets to modern games and anime, and more.
I hope to talk even more about Digimon in 2025!!!
Before this, the only thing I knew about the development of the Toei anime was that Kakudou had also been called to work on the movie that was a part of the Toei Anime Fair, but he declined because he had already started working on the Digimon Adventure TV series.
Another curious thing is that the Western version removed the Digimon World branding that was used in both Card Battle and Card Arena, which had direct story connections.
Quite funny, considering that they later forced Digimon World into completely unrelated games.
I always found the "Digital Card Battle x Digital Card Arena" situation strange.
I understand how long ago in Final Fantasy the Western numbering changed due to unreleased titles.
But this isn't "Digimon Card 1 and 2", so why did they give the sequel the previous game's name?
In Digimon World, Jijimon asked the player if they had a Digital Monster. In the English version, released after the anime, they changed it to a Digivice.
Funny enough, in Digital Card Battle, the protagonist actually gets a Digivice, said to be proof of the legendary hero.
"I couldn't go by the name Rosemon in that Matrix"
"It might seem foolish, but as a Lady, I do have something you would call pride"
I find it curious that although Babamon's profile is open enough that most interpret that Rosemon's body became Babamon, that wasn't the case.

Another interesting parallel is the role of Rosemon. In Card Battle, Rosemon herself is the manager of the Digital World who, after her original body was corrupted, had to transfer her soul to a Babamon's matrix and started using that name.
I find Card Battle's Babamon intro very funny when compared with Digimon World.
"This is a world where Digimon fight with cards. No need to overthink; it's just a strange, strange world."
"You'll inhabit this young boy's body; it doesn't matter if you are an old man or a girl".

I remember watching Digimon World gameplay when I was young and always finding the inside of Mugen Mountain, a bizarre space of terrain wireframe, interesting.
I like that Card Battle actually explored a bit of what that place really was; the Digital World's System Area.
I think it's a surprising change because after years of the Royal Knights constantly residing in the same realm as Yggdrasill and the Angels (Even if stories showing it were few, I think only Xros Wars manga did it), having stories now directly state the opposite is strange.
