“Digital World” where Digimon live

We will introduce many of its complex and interesting settings!

By reading this article, your Digimon world will expand!

The above is the setting of the digital world. Summary.

There are various areas in the Digital World, and the types and characteristics of Digimon that live in each area are different.

In addition, it will expand as new products and content are announced, and new areas will be discovered, so it can be said that an endless adventure awaits.

File Island is the name of the island that represents the Digimon that appear in various Digimon works, including the anime Digimon Adventure'' and the gameDigimon World.”

The area often changes depending on the work, but Mugen Mountain'' towers in the center of the island,The City of Beginnings” is at its base, and around it are Forest of No Lost'',Dragon’s Eye Lake”, and a grassland area. There are many other attractive areas such as Factory Town'' in the factory area ofGear Savanna”, Toy Town'',Ice Sanctuary”, Great Canyon'', andTropical Jungle”.

Vast net land discovered near File Island

Unlike the Digimon on File Island, which is managed by humans, there are many Digimon with stronger survival instincts and greater power.

It was on this Folder continent that the form of the “Ultimate” was first observed, and the Digimon’s struggle for survival led to their evolution into the unknown “Ultimate”.

“Yggdrasil” is a system that manages the digital world with file islands and folder continents.

The Digital World was running inside the computer that was the first to observe the “Net Ocean,” and was connected from all over the world for research and observation.

However, as the simulation progressed, Yggdrasil’s defensive instincts activated the Digital World’s initialization plan, “Project Ark,” and the network was shut down, and from then on, it was managed and operated by Yggdrasil’s decision.

Recognizing that there were limits to the digital world environment and research, researchers decided to incorporate cloud technology and moved their systems to the cloud.

Yggdrasil was then opened to the network, recognized the existence of a digital world managed by someone other than itself, and began to allow interference from outsiders, and peace returned to File Island and Folder Continent.

It has been with.

*We will explain more about activating “Project Ark” for “Yggdrasil” later!

The Digital World is said to have been created when Digimon were migrated to the Life Simulation World, an experimental software for the evolution of life, for research purposes.

In the genesis of the digital world, that is, in the ancient digital world, there was a period of chaos due to environmental adjustments and information gathering, resulting in phase shifts and data loss.

This catastrophe caused the disappearance of many Digimon and continents, causing the extinction of “Ancient Digimon” and the loss of “Digimentals” at the same time.

Also, the biggest effect of the phase shift was that the north-south direction was reversed, and the data of the four sacred beasts “Shenwumon” and “Suutsemon” who protect the north-south direction were swapped.

Currently, researchers are placing “Holy Stones” at important coordinates to prevent phase shifts.

We waited for the world to stabilize, and after the effects of the Holy Stone disappeared, we corrected the north-south data. It has been with.

After “Project Ark” was launched by Yggdrasil, humans who had a sense of crisis about operating in a closed environment created clusters to connect supercomputers and servers containing digital worlds from all over the world.

The purpose was to distribute load and improve processing power, but as a result, multiple digital worlds that existed separately were reborn into a single world constructed of complex layers.

As a result of this, the Yggdrasil system became open source, allowing various researchers to study it, and making it possible to treat the digital world as a cloud.

The digital world is made up of many spaces called layers.

Each layer has different time progression, physical laws, and inhabiting Digimon, making it a completely different world.

For example, there is a digital world called “Witchelny” where the ability called “magic” has developed and four races of earth, water, fire, and wind live. and so on.

Due to Yggdrasil’s “Project Ark” and its subsequent clustering, the Digital World has undergone dramatic changes since its beginnings.

The major digital world currently confirmed is one managed by “Yggdrasil”.

Examples of works that were separated from this include the Iliad,'' which was managed byHomer.”

Each has a dark area, and is connected to “Cocytus”, which can be called another digital world.

The digital world “Witchelny” in another dimension is as mentioned above, and it is thought that there are many other digital worlds.

“Kernel (God’s Realm)” is a place where it is rumored that data in the Digital World is calculated.

It is an important institution where it is said that if something goes wrong, the Digital World will collapse.

However, there are many mysteries and the actual situation has not been revealed.

While various Digimon live in the modern digital world, the activities of ancient Digimon are often talked about.

An anecdote from the “ancient era” that is important when talking about Digimon.

・”Ancient Ten Warriors”

It is said that he saved the ancient Digital World from the “divine enemy (=Lucemon)”.

The ancestor of the “Legendary Ten Warriors” who are active in the anime “Digimon Frontier”

・“Royal Knights Founder Imperialdramon: Paladin Mode”

He descended during the great destruction of the ancient Digital World and saved the world from complete destruction.

He played an active role in the anime “Digimon Adventure 02 The Movie: Diaboromon’s Counterattack”.

He is said to be the founder of the Royal Knights.

There are legends such as.

As mentioned earlier, Yggdrasil’s activation of “Project Ark” caused a dramatic change in the Digital World, and a parallel Digital World was confirmed.

The following are representative ones.

・Digital World (Normal)

・Digital World: Ilias

・Witchelny (another dimension)

The so-called digital world.

The host computer is “Yggdrasil”

The highest level of security is “Royal Knights”

Considering the history of Digimon, it can be said that it is a fundamental digital world.

Another digital world was born separated from the digital world (normal).

“Digital World: Ilia”

The host computer is “Homēros”

The highest level of security is the Olympian Twelve Gods'' and their hostile organization is theTitans.”

The most famous digital world in another dimension is “Witchelny”.

Its jurisdiction is ruled by three wise Digimon who are the heads of the “Senate” council.

Inhabited by “Magic Digimon”

It is a digital world where the ability called “magic” has developed and four races of earth, water, fire, and wind live.

What is “Dark Area”?

Protected and supervised by Anubismon, it is like a graveyard or hell for the Digimon.

When a Digimon reaches the end of its lifespan and dies, it leaves its constituent data in an egg and is reborn as Childhood I.

However, if you die in battle, you will be sent to the Dark Area.

If it is recognized as bad data, it will be destroyed forever, and if it is recognized as good data, it can be reborn as a DigiEgg.

“Cocytus” is an area located at the bottom of the Digital World and connected to each Dark Area.

In Greek mythology, Cocytus is named after the river that flows through the underworld, the lowest layer of hell.

Look at this diagram.

The upper part represents the “Old Digital World” and its administrator “Yggdrasil”.

What extends downward represents the New Digital World'' created by theChronicle Layer System” designed outside of Yggdrasil. Each

Current world: “Belsandy Terminal”

Future world: “Skuld Terminal”

Primitive World: “Urd Terminal”

Each layer influences each other, and moving a layer also moves time.

Due to the growth and increase in the number of Digimon, the storage capacity of the Digital World was approaching its limit.

If the amount of data exceeds the amount, it will be in danger of collapse.

In order to avoid the worst situation, “Yggdrasil”‘s self-defense system carries out “selection and removal of Digimon.”

Only the selected Digimon are transferred to the “New Digital World” created in another partition, and the remaining Digimon are erased using “Royal Knights” and “X Program.”

This is Project Ark, a plan to initialize the digital world.

A layer terminal that currently controls the world in the New Digital World.

Islands and continents have been relocated from previous digital worlds.

An intermediate layer that reflects what happened in the past world of Urd Terminal and influences the future world of Skuld Terminal.

A futuristic city lined with buildings. It is dominated by cyborg-type and machine-type Digimon.

The Aerial Secret Base Royal Base'' floats in the sky, and theSecret Honey Unit Royal Command” is working behind the scenes on the ground.

It is a dangerous world inhabited by many ferocious Digimon such as dinosaur and beast types.

It is formed by the Continent of Roland, the Continent of Gordia, and the Continent of Lemoore.

Additionally, there is a Legend of the Dragon King'' in theRoland Continent.”

There is a forest where you can find “Forest Leaf” that connects this digital world to another digital world, and there are many sightings of “Fantasy Knight (Medieval Dukemon)”.

As research into the digital world has progressed, it has been speculated that there is another real world, the so-called “parallel world.” It is thought that they are scattered around the digital world and have different viewpoints and times that interfere.

Therefore, it seems likely that the digital world is perceived differently depending on the world.

This concludes my research on the digital world. (Although it’s still only a small part…)

Various digital worlds have appeared in various works such as LCD mobile toy digital monsters, anime Digimon, video game Digimon, card game Digimon, etc.

The latest research shows that the digital world is becoming more unified and expanding indefinitely! The past may become clearer, or it may change rapidly in the future.

I hope to continue to deeply observe and research the infinity digital world.
