Prior to its general broadcast, a world premiere screening of the first episode will take place at “DIGIMON EXPO’25” in Tokyo Dome City on September 20 and 21, 2025. The event will include appearances by main voice cast members on the first day and key staff on the second.
Diving into the World of Digimon Beatbreak
DIGIMON BEATBREAK marks the tenth television series in the long-running Digimon franchise and the first new TV anime in two years since Digimon Ghost Game concluded in 2023.
The story is set in a world where human thoughts and emotions generate an energy called “e-Pulse,” which powers an AI support device known as “SapotaMa.” However, this rapid technological development also gives rise to terrifying creatures: Digimon, lifeforms that evolve by consuming e-Pulse.
The protagonist, Tomoro Tenma, is a 15-year-old high school freshman who tends to approach things critically and is influenced by his older brother, often tapping out rhythms with drumsticks. His life takes an extraordinary turn when his SapotaMa suddenly produces Gekkomon, his partner Digimon—a Reptile-type Data Digimon in the Rookie stage, known for being constantly hungry and acting impulsively. Tomoro’s encounter with Gekkomon draws him into unprecedented events, setting the stage for a new future between humans and Digimon.
