  • Ryo Akiyama is Digimon's most interesting human and his connection to Millenniummon, the villain of the Digimon Adventure: 2020 Reboot, can NOT go unnoticed.
    Will Ryo be a part of Digimon Adventure: 2020? Find out everything there is to know about the Tamer Who Leapt Through Time!
    ---
    This is a remix of my Episode 25 Review video. That video had a short section about Ryo and I always disliked how this cool segment was hidden inside a standard episode review. So I took the segment, added new footage, recorded an intro and an outro, and released this remix video! Thought I'd explain myself in case any longtime fans are watching this and getting deja vu :)

    Ryo is/was a fantastic idea for a character. Through him the writers basically found a way to insert a representation of the fans into continuity, and in such a way that it makes sense. This is a character who is a singularity and could theoretically hop into any digimon media with knowledge of prior ones. He is us, making a cameo and fighting along the digi-destined. It's brilliant.

    Ryo and Monodramon deserved a digivolution and biomerge scene in tamers! But it would be cool if Ryo is the new digidestined in the remake. But we may also get Meico too. Just so many possibilities

    • @fictionverse7292
      @fictionverse7292 Před 3 lety +1

      He may also be the key to biomerge digivolvution for the reboot which may be for season 2 to show others like dna as well

      At least people here seems to like Ryo on reddits they hate the crap out of him for some reason but I’m assuming is because of rika you know how weird and creepy weabs get for their “wifu” 🤮 I hate using that word.

    Such cool lore, hopefully there's room for this timeline jumping in the new adventure continuity later down the line! Nice vid as always! 🥳

  • @TheAxeManLP
    @TheAxeManLP Před 3 lety +27

    i actually said in one of Based DIGIMON videos, that with such short time left on the series i think its possible for them to make a 2nd season, what if the last episode of this season they have the main boss fight and lose! Then Ryo appears to rescue them, then they leave it on a cliff hanger? season 2 can feature Ryo for a little bit and then there is plenty of time for the team to all get their megas and any new forms and also maybe even return to the real world again like in the original.
    just a theory but it would be neat :P

    • @thedigiknow
      @thedigiknow  Před 3 lety +8

      Fingers crossed! I would love it if this new show would keep going with other characters we know exist in the original Adventure timeline like Ryo, like Willis from the movie, and like Meiko from Tri!

    • @BasedDIGIMON
      @BasedDIGIMON Před 3 lety +3

      I have been summoned 😜 A season 2 would be great as you say because I feel it can complete the whole picture, whilst also still giving us more (and more time too).
      We need to hammer away at Toei to prove the viewership and support is there for a season 2 👊🏻

      @katomamundara8106 Před 3 lety

      Season 1 ends with them killing base Millenniummon, but it says it will return and converts to Moon Form. Because Moon cannot realistically be defeated, Ryo comes in and offers to help. Cue season 2.

    Yes... get him to appear in Digimon Adventure... a weird story involving how he was also present when the Holy Digimon fought together the first time... and have him and Joe geekout over timeline jumping cos Joe read about it all in one of his textbooks or something and how the Digimon timeline is just Data even Archival Data he has access too.

  • @jasonsalvo4960
    @jasonsalvo4960 Před 3 lety +10

    Would be cool finale to have Ryo show up at the end of the fight against Zeed Milleniumon, reminisce about Agumon and finally show the jogress with Monodramon into a digitama... It would tie the whole Ryo timeline into a neat little bow in this universe

    • @thedigiknow
      @thedigiknow  Před 3 lety +2

      Thanks so much! There is so much more to this character that I didn’t touch on because I wanted this to be almost like a TL;DR “in two minutes” video, but the lore is vast. Hopefully I can do more in depth videos maybe when the current season ends or goes on break and I have more time

    Hey folks bad news: someone claiming to be Toei has been targeting CZcams channels with unjustified copyright strikes and TheDigiKnow has been a targeted. 11 of my videos were targeted which is well over the 3 strikes required for your channel to be permanently shut down in 7 days UNLESS you can dispute the strikes. I'm also not able to post a video until this is resolved. I'm trying my very hardest right now to dispute the claims as I believe everything I create here is protected under Fair Use Commentary & Criticism. But if you are a fan please consider following @TheDigiKnow on twitter (twitter.com/thedigiknow) for updates -- I'll try to keep you all informed there and worst case scenario, if the channel gets deleted you will hear news about what comes next via Twitter. Thank you!

    You also forgot to metion his appearance in the digimon adventure V-Tamer manga where he had cross over with that universe's tai. So ryo has travelled to 3 different universes and has appeared in 3 different forms of media. Also the V-Tamer manga has crossed over with the 1998 series, there was a cross over chapter with the 02 cast.

  • @the_echoYT
    @the_echoYT Před 3 lety +5

    I think Ryo will come back. We've got 20-something episodes left, that's plenty of time.
    And it isn't the first time Adventure canons have crossed paths.
    In Adventure V-Tamer 01, there are a few special crossover episodes where the Taichi of that series meets with Daisuke and Ryo (also Takuya).
    V-Tamer ended in 2003, but was brought back last year for a new chapter where Taichi meets the Taichi from Adventure:.
    If they're digging far enough into Digimon's past to bring Millenniumon back and revive V-Tamer, there's *no* way they aren't going to pull out the hero of the Wonderswan trilogy, whose destiny is tied to Millenniumon's.
    What's more, is that they could very easily tie the ancient war to the Ancient Digital World established from the Wonderswan games.
    That's the original Digital World, created by the ABC and ENIAC computers, which eventually splintered into alternate realities (explaining the myriad different continuities).

  • @Isaac-gh5ku
    @Isaac-gh5ku Před 3 lety +3

    This guy could have appeared in Frontier, Savers, Xros Wars and Applimonsters, he could have appeared in Adventure Tri, but I think Bandai didn't think he could not be a good gimmick for the Digimon franchise, and then he was forgotten by everyone.
    I hope with this video, Bandai could bring back Ryo someday.

    • @dracocrusher
      @dracocrusher Před rokem

      Ryo's timeline jumping stuff is insanely hard to figure out from the outside, though. It's weirdly complex and I've never been a huge fan... unlike Mirei. Mirei is immediately mysterious, serves the same function of jumping between game timelines, and is mostly ust a side character who manages evolution stuff and occasionally helps the heroes. So it feels way more natural to have her show up in multiple places since it's implied she's some form of digital life form.
      Same basic concept but I feel like it's a way better execution of the idea to make it obvious that the character 'doesn't belong' instead of trying to work the character in more subtly and naturally, like with Ryo.

  • @TheInfinityMaster1
    @TheInfinityMaster1 Před 3 lety +6

    You can make a "poll" about this in the community section, but in my opinion, I *don't think* that Ryo Akiyama is gonna be featured in this anime. It feels "too late" for him to be in the show at this point (they would've teased his existence way earlier if he was scheduled to appear in this show) and it would be *very confusing* for "casual" Digimon fans to see him appear out of the blue in the last couple of episodes before the series ends just to stop Millenniummon. I think the series writers are PROBABLY gonna give us a new "Omnimon" form (or an existing one) to handle ZeedMillenniummon IMO.

    • @thedigiknow
      @thedigiknow  Před 3 lety +1

      I feel pretty similarly. No way to make Ryo come in without it feeling like he’s overshadowing 40+ episodes of character work. If the kids can’t beat Millenniummon but this...random new guy can? I don’t know how you make that work

    • @Domihork
      @Domihork Před 2 lety

      I mean... He did appear in Tamers kind of out of the blue without properly explaining who he is and why he looks like the guy from the 02 flashback with Ken. Even the flashback with Ken where he and Ryo are fighting in the Digital World was quite confusing for a casual viewer.

  • @David315842
    @David315842 Před 2 lety +1

    I do believe that it was made canon that he originated in Tamers, somehow getting into the Digital World there and winding up in the Adventure timeline, before he made his first appearance in the WonderSwan games. The card game tournament where he beat Rika/Ruki was most likely happened before his first entry into the Tamers digital world and winds up in the Adventure timeline. The English Dub of Tamers by Saban even hints at this in one episode "Blame It On Ryo" where he tells some of the Tamers that he can get them home but they have to go through another dimension first, most likely hinting at the Adventure timeline, as he has just returned to the Tamers' Digital World following the events of the third WonderSwan game; D-1 Tamers, the last time he worked with the Digidestined from Adventure. It was indeed retconned that he was from the Tamers timeline as when he returned to the Human World in Tamers, he was reunited with his father. Which makes me believe his parents in the Adventure games were likely adoptive parents. At least that's what makes sense to me, it may not be 100% what happened, but that's what I get from putting the pieces together and going by what others said.

  • @OmegaChase1002
    @OmegaChase1002 Před 8 měsíci

    Not much explanation bud needed for me on Ryo. He’s one cool dude his voice actor rocks. One tough fella for sure. Admire his fortitude and also love how he handles his Digimon with such strength and conviction willing to punish him! Additionally he’s shrouded with Mystery. Maybe Taners is the real world everywhere else is alternate. The random appearance on 02 just left everyone wanting to know more 02 was riddled with mystery for sure

    Personally, I would save this for after the 2020 children defeat Milliennummon if for no other reason than to give them this victory alone rather than just having them rely on Ryo to help them win. However, they could make him a Gennai figure of sorts for them since we still don't have him in this reboot (and maybe some fans have been wonderin where he is); granted, it would have to be once everyone got their mega forms first.

  • @justaguywithoutamustache8075

  • @xDinomanx
    @xDinomanx Před 3 lety

    Alternate timelines and time travel are concepts not foreign to kids shows either. Dragon Ball Z did it as well where both Trunks and Cell each came from separate timelines. I am however not expecting Ryo to turn up in Adventure 2020 even though that would be cool.

  • @lonniethewaffle

    True cause Ryu is always tied to Millenniummon. But also we never seen a shadow of another digimon or tamer so far. You know some times they like to do that hole shadow cilowet of a character. My question if they bring him to the 2020 anime who will be his partner digimon.

  • @braydenfuller3511
    @braydenfuller3511 Před 3 lety +1

    Digimon 2020 is wierd. It's so good, but it's doing things most haven't done before. Like alternate evolutions being not just dark digivolutions but situational and based off environment and taichi getting eaten for heaven's sake. I wouldn't be surprised if Ryo came back, and I kinda hope he does. But just in case im not gonna keep my hopes up

    @superomegaprimemk2 Před 3 lety +1

    Personally, I think Ryo is a wasted character who just appears in 02 for Ken's flash back and then vanishes completely and not even given a single mention in the rest of the season, while he just appears in Tamers, little is given to his backstory, such as how he ended up in the digital world or met his partner, remove him from the show, you loose very little aside from a possible love interst for Rika and his Biomerge form was rubbish and extremely weak compared to the others!
