Adventure/1 explicitly stated that Digimon never die, they just get reborn in the Primary Village. Boom. Instant tension killer.

"What if Wargreymon loses the fight?"
Who cares. Tai just has to go to the Primary village and find Agumon's egg.
"What if WarGrowlmon loses the fight?"
Mihiramon absorbs his data and Guilmon is lost forever.


It was ridiculous that they were all content with literally standing around going "OH!" for 10 episodes straight because Koji and Takuya took all their powers.

Completely! It took all of the tension out of the entire first two seasons, because what in the heck was the point? They'd just be reborn. Like Captain Jack but less awesome.

That show started as about all of them, but five episodes in it became very clear they were intended to be backround and the show as totally about Takuya being Sasuke and Koji being Naruto.

"I am leaving"
"Don't go!"
"I am back"
"Buddy!"
"I am leaving"
