When I was young, approximately 1998-2001, I watched the original Digimon
Adventure. I also later (approximately 2003) watched Digimon Tamers, but I
never did watch more than a few episodes of Digimon Adventure 02.

For nostalgia's sake, I'm interested in Digimon Tri, but I have no interest
right now in going back to watch Digimon Adventure 02, since it's really long
and only available as an unfaithful dub. I know basically who the characters
are, but I don't know any of the main plot arcs. Will I be able to understand
Digimon Tri without this knowledge?

digimon digimon-tri
Can I watch Digimon Tri without seeing Digimon Adventure 02?


As of the first Digimon Tri movie, you would be able to understand everything
that goes on if you had only seen the very first season of Digimon Adventures,
except for a couple momentary flashbacks involving vague glimpses of the
Digimon Adventure 02 Digi-destined, but those flashbacks still make no sense
for someone who has seen Digimon Adventure 02 anyways due to how vaguely they
were shown.

Update from the second movie:

> You will need to know a little about the conflicts that happens in Digimon
> Adventure 02 as we see Ken Ichijouji appear, in the present day, towards the
> end of the second movie as the Digimon Emperor, which is quite contradictory
> if you have seen enough episodes of Digimon Adventures 02. Strangely
> however, he never speaks. The reason why he doesn't speak, or why he is even
> the Digimon Emperor again, is still a mystery until the third movie is
> released
