Intro
The video introduces the concept of the Digimon multiverse and its various timelines, promising to be the biggest Digimon project ever. The author expresses motivation from a desire to provide a comprehensive explanation, similar to those available for other franchises like Gundam, Marvel, and DC. The video aims to consolidate scattered information from various Digimon media to help viewers understand the franchise better.
Digimon Multiverse
The Digimon multiverse is defined as a set of universes, each with its own laws, stories, and timelines. Each universe has unique humans and Digimon, with Digimon functioning differently depending on the universe. Producer Habu Kazumasa stated that each Digimon series depicts a completely different world or alternate universe. The video uses an image of planets in a solar system to represent the Digimon multiverse, with each planet representing a single universe. Some universes are "pillar" universes with more depth, while others are less developed.
Multiverse Creator?
The Digimon franchise has a unique concept of God, with various entities claimed to be gods, including humans, the Four Holy Beasts, Yggdrasil, and Homeros. Digital Worlds created by humans are considered copies, making humans demi-gods. Yggdrasil, a host computer, is a popular "God" in the Digimon Multiverse, taking various forms. Multiple Yggdrasils exist across the multiverse, each with limitations to their jurisdiction. The video introduces the theory of Akemi Souedou, suggesting a superior being created humans and Digimon with the ability to choose and create. Another theory mentions Demiurgos as the soulless creator of the universe.
Universe & Digital World(s)
The Digimon multiverse consists of universes, each with its own Digital World. The Quantized World, or quantum sea, is the first world, from which all creation arose. The quantum sea divided into layers of existences, creating a multiverse. Each universe has a real world, a network, and a digital world with multiple mini-universes. The network, or internet, is the boundary of the Digital World, protected by a firewall and patrolled by network security. The digital world contains mini-verses created by Digimon to suit their nature.
SURVIVE UNIVERSE
In the Digimon Survive universe, Digimon, known as Kemonogami, have always existed alongside humans in another dimension. Their story traces back to the Kamakura period.

The video discusses five different endings in Digimon Survive, each representing a different possibility for the universe's timeline: the harmony ending, the wrathful ending, the bad ending, the moral ending, and the true ending.
