is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation, and the ninth anime series in the Digimon franchise. The series was broadcast on Fuji TV from October 2021 to March 2023. An English dub of the series premiered on BBC iPlayer in the United Kingdom in December 2025.
Plot In the near future, new, innovative, and more advanced technology has emerged. On social networks, rumors are circulating about strange phenomena caused by beings known as "Hologram Ghosts". Hiro Amanokawa is a middle school freshman at Hazakura Academy, who, after activating a mysterious device left behind by his father called the "Digivice -V-", can now see creatures called Digimon that cannot be seen by ordinary people.
After meeting Gammamon, a mischievous Digimon entrusted to him by his father Hokuto, Hiro becomes caught up in various strange phenomena. A man with a sewn mouth steals time from humans, a mummy wanders around at night and kidnaps humans... the Hologram Ghosts are all around us and are targeting us. Alongside their friends Ruli Tsukiyono and Angoramon, and later Kiyoshirō Higashimitarai and Jellymon, Hiro and Gammamon dive into the mysterious world where these creatures live—a side of the world nobody is aware of.
Characters Main characters
A thirteen-year-old boy and a first-year middle school student who attends the private Hazakura Academy. He is reliable and never turns down requests, and because he can do most things independently, others often rely on him. He is also curious and inquisitive, and becomes interested in Digimon after meeting Gammamon through his father Hokuto. Due to his upbringing, he tends to suppress his childish side while being energetic and caring around others. He has a scar on his left ear.
Hiro's partner, a white Triceratops Rookie-level Digimon with small wings on his back. Gammamon possesses three Champion-level forms: the Ceratopsian BetelGammamon, the blue Ceratopsian KausGammamon, and the cannon-horned quadrupedal Certaopsian WezenGammamon, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. He later gains the power to evolve further into the Certatopsian/dragon Ultimate-level Canoweissmon and the Ceratopsian/dragon/Tyrannosaurus Mega-level Siriusmon. Gammamon also has a dark Champion-level Ceratopsian form called GulusGammamon, revealed to the original personality that manifests whenever the rookie is consumed by sadness or rage. Near the end of the series, digivolving into the dragon-like Ultimate-level Regulusmon, GulusGammamon is revealed to be the series antagonist as he created the corruptive GRB (Gulus Realm Burst) particles with the intent to create an army of empowered Digimon to ravage the Digital World. Thanks to Gammamon's quick thinking, he managed to split off from Regulusmon and defeats his other half as Siriusmon. With his ideals used against him, GulusGammamon accepts the conditions of surrender and undoes the GRB infection while absorbed by Siriusmon.

A friendly and outgoing thirteen-year-old who runs a popular occult-related social media account, she is sociable and has many friends. She looks for things that suit her taste, and one of her hobbies is playing the piano, which Angoramon likes to listen to. Although she is skilled at many things, she struggles to find a main passion and therefore feels bored with life.

He can evolve into the humanoid rabbit Champion-level SymbareAngoramon, the rabbit/owl Ultimate-level Lamortmon, and the rabbit-masked humanoid Mega-level Diarbbitmon.
A 14-year-old genius who graduated from an American school and currently attends Hazakura Academy to enjoy living as a regular boy. He is afraid of ghosts and is always looking for talismans to ward them off. Although usually condescending and cowardly, he occasionally becomes brave and level-headed when in a crisis.
A jellyfish-like Rookie-level Mollusk Digimon and Kiyoshirō's partner, whom she likes to scare and cause mischief towards. She can evolve into the humanoid jellyfish Champion-level TeslaJellymon, the humanoid jellyfish Ultimate-level Thetismon, and the cyborg Mega-level Amphimon.
A jetpack-themed Rookie-level Digimon who helps Gammamon rescue Hiro when he is under the influence of a Doumon. Hokuto tasked him with helping Hiro, and so he is looking for Hiro going off of his student ID. Even after meeting Hiro, he keeps looking for him since he is convinced he is not the real Hiro, but is unaware that he has already found him.
