Zheng Fan entered the Digimon World, killed Dorulumon in a sudden attack, and became the target of Dragonland’s forces. As Taiki’s team prepared to rescue the prisoners, Kiriha struggled with his belief that only power mattered.
Taiki and his allies rescued the imprisoned Digimon by collapsing the Dragon Waterfall dam, but Huanglongmon confronted them and revealed the history behind Bagramon and the shattered Digimon World. He began a contest to choose a new Dragon Kingdom king, then attacked Taiki after MetalGreymon refused his brutal demands.
Kiriha learned from Dracomon to define strength for himself, enabling Greymon and ArmorBirdramon to super evolve into ZekeGreymon and challenge Huanglongmon. After the battle, the world’s emblems and laws changed, and Zheng Fan accepted Taiki’s invitation to travel to the next space.
Taiki’s group encountered Black Terriermon while fleeing Lady FlameDevimon and learned that Moonlight Myotismon was hunting the newly digivolved Digimon. When fireballs struck Black Terriermon’s village, he begged them not to go, but Taiki ran ahead to help the Chocomon.
Taiki and his allies infiltrated Moonlight Myotismon's castle to find a way past its barrier and destroy its power core. The barrier fell, and Kiriha led MetalGreymon into the attack as Taiki and Yin Yin fought Moonlight Myotismon inside.
Kiriha, Taiki, and their allies fought Moonlight Myotismon as Beelzemon and Shoutmon X5 cleared away the Lady Devimon, but Moonlight Myotismon absorbed MetalGreymon and transformed again. Meanwhile, Zheng Fan reached the center of the Moon Disc and found the bead that formed its moon: Bagramon's left eye.
Zheng Fan helped Black Terriermon take Bagramon's eyeball from the moon, then the loss of moonlight left Moonlight Myotismon vulnerable and allowed the others to escape. He found Kiriha grieving over MetalGreymon's forced Fusion, and the chapter ended with Kiriha begging him to help save his partner.
Zheng Fan and the United Hearts Team used a staged rescue to awaken MetalGreymon and free him from Moonlight Myotismon’s Forced DigiFusion. Black Terriermon’s power changed the world’s laws, allowing Shoutmon DX and Zheng Fan to defeat Moonlight Myotismon, while Black Terriermon collapsed unconscious.
Taiki's group rushed to rescue Fragrantmon and Honeymon, while Zheng Fan uncovered DarkKnightmon's plan and confronted Yu. Zheng Fan escaped with Yu captured, leaving the group to prepare for the danger tied to the boy and DarkKnightmon's ambition.
Zheng Fan learned that humans had entered Rosemon’s territory and accompanied Yūjin and Hawkmon to confront Marcus Damon and Thomas. After the fight revealed how Digisoul fueled evolution, Calumon used his power to de-evolve the combatants, while Thomas watched Zheng Fan approach with growing unease.
Zheng Fan discovered that contamination of Drillmon’s Digi-Egg pointed to a crisis in the Human World and said he needed to visit it, while Thomas and Marcus Damon insisted Digimon must not enter without permission. After the group returned through the Portal, Marcus was caught in a DATS restraint, and Thomas eventually emerged safely.
After returning from the Digimon World, Thomas reported meeting Zheng Fan, a powerful visitor who warned of a future crisis, while Captain Satsuma shut down the equipment connecting the worlds. Zheng Fan stayed behind to train Yuto, then used Yuto’s battle with Starmon to test a new cultivation method and prepare a reward for him.
Zheng Fan helped Yuto turn Rockmon’s digicore seed into a Digivice, allowing Hawkmon to digivolve into Woodpeckermon. After they confronted Kudamon, a Champion-level Digimon slaughtering weaker Digimon to collect their Digi-Eggs, Kudamon opened a passage to the Human World, and Zheng Fan led Yuto and Woodpeckermon inside as a fiery-red figure attacked from above.
Chika protected Mianmianmon from Agumon and grew close to the newly born Digimon, while Hawkmon discovered the pure Digisoul created by their bond. When Mianmianmon evolved into Biyomon to protect Chika, Marcus realized DATS might force his little sister into the combat division and began arguing with Biyomon.
Hawkmon intervened in Marcus Damon and Biyomon’s fight, but Mercurymon arrived and easily overpowered the humans and their Digimon. Zheng Fan persuaded Mercurymon to leave, then asked Yuto to return Biyomon’s power.
Zheng Fan helped expose Akihiro Kutasada’s role in creating strange Digimon, but DATS was disbanded and he took Sayuri’s invitation to dinner. The chapter ended with Yuto agreeing to protect Chika at school and Marcus returning to class with plans to conquer the school.
Zheng Fan began teaching Marcus’s class and used an unexplained ability to make Marcus take school seriously. After Marcus investigated Haruko Obokata’s kidnapping and returned to seek Zheng Fan’s help, Zheng Fan removed the influence from Marcus’s mind, changing his thoughts.
Marcus Damon confronted Zheng Fan over his influence, then set out with Chika, Yuto, and Calumon to rescue Teacher Obokata from the gang’s base. After charging into a hail of gunfire, Marcus relied on Calumon’s talismans and defeated the guards, ending by questioning their commander.
Marcus Damon and his allies uncovered Kurata’s laboratory, where evidence of experiments on powerful Digimon revealed the scale of his ambitions. Kurata attacked with Kudamon, and as the battle escalated, Marcus Damon and Chika began evolving their partners.
After Kurata’s Dimensional Shock Bomb sent Marcus Damon, Yuto, Chika, and their Digimon to the Digimon World, its damage injured the world and killed six of the Twelve Olympian Gods. Marcus Damon woke in a forest and was attacked by local Digimon, while Yuto’s connection to Mercurymon helped calm them.
Yuto and the others reached the Holy City, where Baromon declared war on humanity and prepared to sacrifice the humans. Oremon blamed Yuto for past disasters, leaving Yuto devastated before Marcus broke free and struck Oremon.
Marcus Damon and Chika learned how Gate English saved the Holy City, then helped defend it from Kurata’s Kudamon army. Marcus and Chika awakened new evolutions for their partners, and Marcus left to confront Kurata, where he encountered Sheng.
Yoshino encountered Ivan, a man who could transform into BioStegomon and BioSpinosmon, while trying to learn why Kurata had sent him after her. After Ivan reverted to human form, his body began transforming again, and Yoshino realized that Ivan was no longer in control.
Thomas warned Nanami that Digimon had wills of their own, while Kurata’s operation sent Golgomon through a black hole into the Human World and caused a devastating earthquake. Kurata then prepared a report on the threat Digimon posed and the possibility of peaceful coexistence as officials sought to turn the crisis to their advantage.
The children explored Seraphimon’s castle and learned that Dynasmon and Crusadermon were dismantling the prison that held Lucemon. Seraphimon sent them back to the Human World to protect it as the Royal Knights arrived.
