Introduction to Digimon Seekers and the World Setting [0:00]
Digimon Seekers is introduced as a project celebrating Digimon's 25th anniversary. The story is set in a technologically advanced world dominated by social media, where Digimon are primarily seen as tools of artificial intelligence. Two main groups operate in this world: code crackers, who use their computer skills for illegal jobs, and hackers, who act as vigilantes hunting down code crackers who commit Digimon-related crimes. The Grim, a semi-illegal social network with its own cryptocurrency called Digi coin (DC), serves as a marketplace for these jobs.

The story begins with a description of tyranomon, an adult-level dinosaur-type Digimon, hunting in a subway tunnel. Meanwhile, AEG, a code cracker known as Fang, is struggling financially and browsing Grim for freelance work.

AEG has a meeting with Professor Ryusenji, a founder of Aberdeen Electronics (AE) and a researcher at AE's digital lab (DDL). The professor shows AEG the D4 section of the lab, which houses AE's top-secret project: a projection of the digital world. The projection showcases the digital world as a cyberspace with servers of nations and various Digimon, including batamon, a child-level amphibian-type virus species. Digimon are described as AI forms that evolve and can be obtained by capturing them or collecting their eggs (digidama).

Professor Ryusenji explains that Digimon have revolutionized human society by advancing fields like software development and medicine. However, the existence of the digital world is kept secret to prevent mass chaos and the misuse of Digimon for cyber terrorism. AEG delivers the kibetamon he captured to the professor. The professor emphasizes that Digimon are living creatures, not just projections, and that the video AEG saw was generated from observed data of the digital world.

The professor's compatibility inspector reports high compatibility levels between AEG and lugamon, suggesting a strong bond.
