01x07 - That Boy is Joe Kido

[bunniefuu]

In the year 2020 C.E.,

the human world is connected by a network.

Inhabiting it is
an unknown life form called Digimon.

Oh Yeah!
Be strong, jump on, become the wind

Oh Yeah!
tsuyogatte tobinotte kaze ni natte

Pass the orbit beyond the sky

oozora kidou wo koero

Can't hold back this rushing speed

osaekirenai maenomeri na speed

A familiar town turns into a diorama

minareta machi ga diorama ni naru

Burst through the unclear skies

futoumei na sora tsukinukerunda

Blow away your worries and discontent

nayami toka fuman toka futtobashite

Who needs a journey that's by the book

manual doori no tabi nanka irane

Even if you're lost or trembling,
Raise the altitude

mayottemo furuetemo koudo agete

Oh Yeah!
Show off, mess up, stand back up

Oh Yeah!
ikigatte shikujitte tachiagatte

The unknown horizon I watch with you

kimi to mitsumeru michi naru chiheisen

Now, be strong, jump on, become the wind

saa tsuyogatte tobinotte kaze ni natte

Use the sun
That lights tomorrow as a guide

asu wo terasu taiyou
mejirushi ni shitesa

Fly off to the Glorious World of freedom

tonde ike jiyuu na Glorious World

Taichi and his friends now know

the Holy Digimon is the key
to saving Tokyo.

As the group wandered the forest,

they met Mimi Tachikawa, a human girl
who ran a small kingdom with Tanemon,

and her friend, Palmon.

In the shadows of the battle
with Tuskmon who ransacked the orchard,

Mimi was attacked by a cunning enemy.

That was when Mimi's Digivice lit up
and Palmon evolved into Togemon.

With Mimi in their party,

Taichi and his friends head for the sea
to cross over to the continent.

You sure have improved, Palmon!

It's as tasty as the real Golden Tippy!

This sure is great tea!

The snacks are yummy too!

Uh-huh!

Seriously, what a peaceful moment...

Wait, should we be taking our time
having tea like this?

My grandpa told me
that traders who rush make less money.

Palmon, how much further
is the sea from here?

It's right there.

What?

It's the sea!

THAT BOY IS JOE KIDO

Do you see the continent?

I can't see anything yet.

Birdramon, aren't we heavy?

I'm fine!

I just hope it's a distance
I can fly across...

What's that?

What's wrong?

That!

Huh?

Watch out!

Sora!

Sora! Agumon!

Taichi!

Taichi! Agumon!

Sora! I'm glad you're okay!

Birdramon?

Piyomon!

Swim!

Marching Fishes!

Fish?!

Follow me!

We're saved...

Piyomon, are you okay?

Yes, I'm glad you're okay too.

What happened?

We don't really know.

Something squiggly
came out of a whirlpool.

That's Gesomon.

Gesomon?

It's a vicious Digimon who dwells
at the bottom of the sea.

GOMAMON

When anyone tries to cross the strait,
Gesomon attacks like that.

And you are?

I'm Gomamon!

So you're the one who saved us!

Thank you. You have some amazing powers!

Marching Fishes!
It's my special technique!

You guys must be the Chosen Ones.

You know about us?!

Yeah, because I have a partner too.

A partner...

Oh! A human?!

That means another child
who'll find the Holy Digimon with us.

Well, supposedly...

There are no signs of power
returning to the city yet.

MYSTERIOUS POWER OUTAGE SPREADS

The power outage has spread to parts of
Kanagawa, Chiba and Saitama.

In Kawaguchi-shi, Saitama-shi,
and Urayasu-shi,

the power supply has shut off since 7 a.m.

Oh, the microwave stopped!

CHAOS CONTINUES
WITHIN METROPOLITAN AREA

What a problem...

Experts say that
if there's a delay in recovery,

there's a fear that the city of Tokyo
will cease to operate in a few days...

Ugh, things are becoming worse and worse.

We must hurry and join Taichi-san's group!

MIDDLE SCHOOL ENTRANCE EXAMS

What is this guy doing?

Studying?

Here?!

Joe, I've brought over
the other Chosen Ones.

Hm?

Humans?!

I'm Taichi Yagami.

I'm Sora Takenouchi.

Mimi Tachikawa, a fourth-grader.

I'm Agumon!

Piyomon!

Palmon here.

Oh?

So there's no grown-ups...

Huh?

Tell me! How can I get back
to the other world?!

How? Beats me...

Anyhow, we need your help.

Huh?

At this rate,
Tokyo will be in big trouble...

And that problem is caused
by this Digital World.

So, they say we need to go and stop that.

We?

Let's go find the Holy Digimon together!

We need you and Gomamon's help!

Oh, I'm Joe Kido,
a sixth-grader at Musako Elementary.

What?

That means he's our senpai!

Oh, come to think of it, I might've
seen him at our recent camping trip...

I still can't believe a story like that.

Save Tokyo from a crisis? Why me?

I have important entrance exams
next year and I have no time!

Whoever controls summer,
controls the exams!

But why am I the only one
in a place like this?!

While I'm stuck here,
my rivals are all getting ahead!

My family is a line of doctors,

and I must become one myself
in the future!

If you want me to contribute to society,
I'll do it all when I grow up!

But right now, I have to study!

Are we really taking this guy with us?

Let's go!

Joe, you came to this world and met me,
because you have an important role!

We're partn--

You've been a great help.

I do appreciate it,

but... I don't ever remember
becoming partners.

Hey, Senpai.

I know it's dangerous,
and we can't force you to come,

but we're the only ones that can do this.

Let's say that just us kids travel
around this bizarre and dangerous world,

and we struggle
to accomplish that so-called goal.

Is there any guarantee that we'll be able
to return to our world?

Joe...

Gomamon, you can go with them.

I'm going to stay here and study.

As long as Gesomon's there,
we can't cross this strait.

We have to chase Gesomon away somehow.

But how?

What?

Are you really not going with everybody?

Even if I did,
there'd be nothing I could do.

Then I should just stay here
and do what I need to do.

Piyomon, you should stay
and rest for a while.

Let's team up with Agumon and Palmon.

We have no chance in the ocean,
but if we're on land...

We'll draw Gesomon out here!

Okay, then victory will be ours!

We'll fight for Piyomon too!

Leave it to us!

Agumon... Palmon...

If that's the plan,
I'll be the bait to draw Gesomon over.

Gomamon?!

I'll use my Marching Fishes
to taunt and lure Gesomon over here.

Gomamon, what about Joe Senpai?

Joe... has too much on his mind
with stuff he has to do

and has no room for anything else.

And now that he's got
even more things to do,

he's perplexed and struggling.

Even if he looks
like he's absorbed in studying.

But one day, he'll become a great human
that'll help everyone out!

That's why I'm gonna help everyone out
for Joe right now!

Here we go! Marching Fishes!

Here it comes!

Come, Gesomon! Over here!

C'mon, over here!
If you want me, come and get me!

I see the whirlpool!

Good, they're coming this way!

Gomamon, keep it up!

Gomamon...

Just a little further...

Gomamon!

Gomamon!

Are you okay?!

Hang in there!

Joe...

Joe Senpai!

Hurry and get away from there!
Take Gomamon with you!

GESOMON

That's Gesomon?!

We only saw the tentacles earlier.

But now, the whole thing is here!

Agumon!

You're on, Palmon!

Yeah!

Agumon Evolution!

Greymon!

Palmon Evolution!

Togemon!

Gomamon...
why did you do something so reckless?

I was... waiting for a long time...

What?

Prickly Bang-Bang!

Togemon!

I was looking forward to it,

always wondering what kind
of human my partner would be.

That's why when I finally met you, Joe...

I was really happy.

Weren't you disappointed?

To find out you were waiting
for a human like me?

No, that's not true!

Gomamon?

That's not true at all...

I was waiting
for no one else but you, Joe.

I think so myself, so there's no mistake!

Gomamon, are you okay?

What you need to do in this world

is not something you need to get done
by yourself, Joe.

You have others like Taichi,
and you have me too.

We'll do it together!

So don't worry!

You're right, Gomamon.

I wasn't alone, because you were there
for me in this world.

If I were by myself,

I probably wouldn't have been able
to even study.

Gomamon,

you're my...

I'm your partner!

Uh?

Gomamon Evolution!

That's...

IKKAKUMON

Ikkakumon!

Ikkakumon...

Ikkakumon!

You're not getting away!

Harpoon Vulcan!

Togemon!

Coconut...

Punch!

Greymon!

I'll finish you!

Harpoon Vulcan!

Joe Senpai!

That Digimon's strong!

Yeah, since Ikkakumon's my partner.

All right!

Now that I'm coming along,

let's find this so-called
Holy Digimon fast!

Senpai, you're up for it all of a sudden.

I don't have much time!

Whoever controls summer,
controls the exams!

Going forward,
please listen to the me, the olde...

Eh... Eh...

E-E-E-Ehh?!

He flopped!

He really flopped!

Senpai's flopped!

He's flopped!

Don't say I flopped!
I'm studying for entrance exams!

As if rolling out of control,
I ran frantically

korogaru youni gamushara ni hashitta

"What's waiting ahead?"

nani ga matteru no?

The headwinds told me

mukaikaze ga oshiete kuretanda

"Just believe and move forward"

shinjite susume

The bitter taste of defeat is a seed

yaburete shitta kuyashisa wa tane

It will eventually sprout
And become your wings

yagate mebuki hane to naru

I knock on those doors

sono tobira tataku riyuu

Because the present shapes the future

ima ga mirai wo tsukuru kara

If you want to find a rainbow

niji wo mitsuketai nara

You must lift your face

kao wo agenakuchatte

The hands that reached out to us
Make us much stronger

sashidasareta te ga
bokura wo zutto tsuyoku suru

If you want to catch your dreams

yume wo tsukamitai nara

Though the step forward is unsteady

furueru sono ippo mae ni

Try and take it

fumi dashite goran yo

Because you can surely fly now

ima nara kitto sora mo toberu kara

Yamato appears once again.

The six Chosen Ones have finally gathered

and carry out their shocking plan!

Next time on Digimon Adventure:
"The Children's Attack on the Fortress"

The adventure continues to a new world.
