The ‘Secondary’ Partners in Digimon Adventure: 2020 Reboot!

On the DigiDestined Chosen Children’s new journey, they’ve each formed new unique relationships with Digimon that they weren’t associated with in the original series.

Thinking about the Digimon Games like Cyber Sleuth, where the player has multiple Digimon, this “What If” video assigns each protagonist with a secondary Digimon partner. What do you think about the picks?

Note: I say Junkmon when I mean to say Gerbemon / Garbagemon! This is an error I did not notice until very far into the video edit. Garbage and Junk are basically the same word, so I hope you understand my error!

That's a stupid idea and I hate it

[Laetus-Elaetus]

Everyone rolls up with a second Digimon they befriended to the final battle, but Joe and Mimi show up with the hot spring army and all of Mimicorp.

I like the kids forging relationships with Digimon they don't have a destined partnership with. Always great to see friendly Digimon make reoccurring appearances and have meaningful connections with the main cast.
Maybe in a sequel series these Digimon could appear more frequently and maybe even aid in evolution like when Patamon helped Palmon become Ponchomon, or straight-up Jogress.

I would say its not a bad idea but the idea would really work in a series where you have a much smaller cast of humans, example, I point to Xros Wars/fusion battles where three of the main humans had mutable Digimon as their team, the idea can work but just not in this series because you have to develop the humans and the Digimon bond, plus the bond between the Digimon themselves, you could have two rival Digimon who been bitter rivals yet they both work with the same human

[DigiWarriorCallum]

Not gonna lie, this idea is rather interesting. And definitely, Yamato and Strabimon as his second partner works so well.

[Matiasfv]

It's funny the strabimon and yamato pairing, since that one is lobomon's child level, just like flamon is Agnimon's. Basicallty Koji's partner if frontier was planned a bit different, the other lone wolf in frontier.
Fun fact, Koji's japanese voice actor reprised the role of Strabimon in this season

[DolusVulpes]

I think this would be a great idea if there weren't so many human main characters, mostly because doubling the number of partner digimon would add an additional character for each main character, and in a show that already has 8 main characters and 8 partner digimon who all need to have enough screen time to feel important that would become a bit of a logistical nightmare for the writers.
I'd say if they were to do this for a show, it'd make more sense for one with 3-4 main characters, not 8. That way the show can spend more time developing all of the characters without making it seem like any of them are being favored too much more than the others.

Garbemon’s arm around Izzy bro 😭 Uncle Garbemon!

[coldsoul]

I feel like Tai would have ended up with Orgemon as his secondary partner.

[WelshGiraffa]

It’s a good idea and not unheard of fusion being a strong contender in that hypothetical although for partners I think their all perfect especially Izzy and Garbagemon mimi and Golemon I completely forgot about since you could argue Mimi and Babamon would be a decent team

[Muriuki]

Everyone : gets rookies to champion secondary partners.
TK and Kari : Mega and Ultimate.

[jackhsu]

I never noticed that, thanks for point it out, really similar to Pokemon's scenario, mostly because the head writer Atsuhiro Tomioka wrote tons of Pokemon episode since 1997's first series.

[bowrin]

I think my favourite aspect to this idea is that these would have been the partners that the kids would have bonded with naturally instead of it having been decided by fate. Almost like how all the kids in tamers got their partners.

[xDinomanx]

Actually for a second partner for Tai I would also nominate Ogremon for that position too given he did survive his battle with MetalTyrannomon and has now evolved into Rebellomon. Also given his rivalry to Greymon, Ogremon would be a good fit for Tai.

[kennethsatria]

If they could go this route it makes me think the partner digimon should now DNA Digivolve.
Even without established forms they could totally design new ones

[bimadanta]

pokemon get referenced,

xros wars be like 👁👄👁

[KojiroOokami]

As interesting as this idea is, I feel like it would dampen the relationships already built a bit and spread the attention around too many characters.

[DDKoD]

For Takeru, you could also argue Devimon to a degree depending how classify him

[Rockitfilm]

I personally would love to see a second season where the digimon partners gets kidnapped by an unknown villain and turns them into evil digimon, giving our cast new digimon to have them digivolve and grow a bond with, the grand battle could be having each tamer digivolve both digimon to mega's and fight the villain

[kugaizashi]

I’d say Taichi secondary is the Green Digimon(forgot his name). Even tho they are more like rival but they have this strong connection.
