Digimon Adventure 02

A new generation of Digi-Destined, composed of three new children, as well as Kari and T.K., are given a new kind of digivice known as D3, which allows them to open a gate to be transported to the Digital World through any computer. Another advantage was Armor Digivolution, using a device called a Digi-Egg/Digimental (not related to the Digi-Egg that defines the earliest life stage of a Digimon) so their Digimon can evolve in the presence of Control Spires. They eventually stop the Digimon Emperor, Ken Ichijouji, thanks to the sacrifice of Wormmon, Ken's partner.

After his defeat, Ken repents his evil deeds and joins the Digi-Destined as they fight an evil Digimon named Arukenimon and her lackey Mummymon. Arukenimon has a unique power to turn the Control Spires into super-strong, artificial Digimon in her control. To fight this new threat, the gang learns of DNA Digivolution, enabling their Digimon to fuse with each other for more power. Eventallly, when the battle was brought to the Real World, the true mastermind, Yuiko Oikawa, makes himself known. This man extracts the Dark Spore inside Ken and implants it into other children who wish for the greatness the old, evil Ken had. Those spores develop into flowers that harvest the infected children's energy. Eventually, the Digi-Destined confront Oikawa, only to learn he's an extreme loner whose only friend in the world was Hiroki Hida, Cody's father. Hiroki and Oikawa used to play old video games when they were young, eventually becoming obsessed with the Digital World and dreaming of going there one day. In the end, an entity springs from this man's body, none other than the 'real' mastermind, Myotismon, now reborn as MaloMyotismon.

This season ended with the help of Digi-Destined from all over the world, using the light that existed inside each one of them and their wishes to return the Digital World into a nice place again. Oikawa, who is too weak to enter the Digital World, becomes its guardian as he passes away. After peace is restored, the boundary between the Digital and the Real World is broken down, giving every human a chance of having their very own Digimon companion.

Season two was also a highly regarded season. Ratings did slightly dip, but not largely enough to be of much consequence. Introducing three new faces helped build the storyline.

Although Episodes 44, 45, and 46 were originally shown on Fox Kids, however after Disney bought out Saban these episodes were removed from the ABC Family lineup, due to references that are similar to the events of the September 11th attacks. What should be known are the first two banned episodes are parts two and three of the three part Daemon Corps Saga and the third banned episode is WarGreymon's duel against BlackWarGreymon. There is currently no indication if these episodes will ever be aired again, though Pokémon episodes banned for similar reasons have begun to re-air, if sparingly.
