Introduction

This story follows the adventures of several 18th century children and their digimon partners from the future. The story begins as the evil lord Gokumon of the Digital Abyss, a land of sin and malevolence, discovers a mysterious rift in time. Upon sending a crew of his minions to investigate, he comes to the conclusion that it leads to the human world, nearly three hundred years ago. He decides that, if he can destroy the world in the pre- digital age, evil digimon can roam free upon the earth under one, giant empire-ruled only by himself. Knowing that by destroying the human race, the digital world won't exist, he figures that the digital gods will not be able to stop him. Little does he know, however, that the digital gods already know of his plans. A special team of digimon is assembled to enter the rift following Gokumon, along with special devices. The first children to come upon the digimon, wherever they land, will be chosen to help in the quest to save the world. The digimon penetrate the void, landing on the islands of Japan, where a vast feudal empire, under Tokugawa family in Edo, has been prospering.
