"Target: Red Shock") by Kōji Wada.[3] Two ending themes by Ai Maeda (credited as AiM) were used, "Ashita wa Atashi no Kaze ga Fuku" (アシタハアタシノカゼガフク, lit. "Tomorrow My Wind Will Blow") and "Itsumo Itsudemo" (いつもいつでも, lit. "Always Whenever").[3][14] The English opening reuses the theme song from Digimon Adventure by Paul Gordon.

| While the DNA digivolved Digimon hold off BlackWarGreymon in what quickly becoming a losing fight, Davis gets the idea of moving the last Destiny Stone with the D3s. Instead of moving it, this summons Azulongmon, the Digimon that appeared as earlier destiny stones were destroyed. BlackWarGreymon attacks Azulongmon but quickly is defeated and reasoned with as he leaves to find his reason to exist. After explaining many such things as the true purpose of the control spires and armor digivolving, Azulongmon warns the group that Arukenimon works for their true enemy. After returning to their world, Davis sees a control spire nearby. | |||||

The younger group brings the Digimon partners of the original DigiDestined into the real world. Unfortunately, a group of rogue Digimon appear from no where at the Teenage Wolves' concert with assembled DigiDestined teams fighting them. After most of the Digimon are sent back through Izzy's laptop, Paildramon, Silphymon and Shakkoumon finish the job and the DigiDestined rejoice believing it is over. However, their holiday cheer ends when control spires and rampaging Digimon appear worldwide on Christmas day. | |||||

| As Davis and Ken have to deal with a Triceramon running a rampage in the latter's district, the DigiDestined receive one of Azulongmon's Digicores from a rejuvenated Gennai, which results in not only restoring the original DigiDestined Digimons' ability to go to ultimate level, but allows Paildramon to mega digivolve into Imperialdramon as he and his humans partners get every Digimon on Japan. Soon after, Gennai gives the DigiDestined instructions to aid the other DigiDestined worldwide. After Japan's DigiDestined head out, Arukenimon and Mummymon begin the next phase of their plan. | |||||

| MaloMyotismon tempts the DigiDestined with illusions of their dreams coming true, but Davis, whose dream was that ExVeemon could grow more powerful to defeat the villain, guides them out. The others follow his example, causing the Digimon to assume their various forms at once.

| The six DigiDestined, assisted by DigiDestined all over the world and Oikawa's gathered children, destroy MaloMyotismon by revealing their hopes and dreams which weaken him to the point he loses his physical form before Imperialdramon extinguishes the evil Digimon for good with his Giga Crusher attack. Oikawa, on the verge of death as Cody tried to get him into the Digital World, uses the power of the dream dimension to become data and restore the DigiWorld to its original state.
