The Restarts

The Restarts are a strange and unsettling phenomena in the Digital World, as well as a plot-point in Digimon: Ragnarok. Caused by Fenryrdramon, there have been 24 Restarts before his ultimate defeat and death.

WHAT ARE THEY?

The Restarts are defined as a 'replay of time itself' or 'going back to the beginning'. The Restarts can only be triggered by Fenryrdramon Despair Mode.

Each time a Restart occurs, the timeline of the Digital and Real Worlds revert back to the beginning of time. For the Real World, that means the Big Bang, for the Digital World, the rise of Lucemon. Everyone's memories get wiped clean, as does their very existence. All victims of the Restart must replay their lives again, that means any trauma or suffering they go through in their life, they will suffer through it again and again. The only ones who remember or know about the Restarts, before Fenryrdramon's defeat were Wisemon and Diaboromon X. Fenryrdramon himself did not remember anything until the 25th Timeline.

The Restarts weren't halted until the 25th Timeline, where Fenryrdramon met his demise; putting an end to years and years of pain, fear, hate and destruction.

ENIGMAS

As a strange side-effect of time replaying itself, new events may play out in history. Whether this is a new person, Digimon, or even a new outcome entirely, these 'Engimas' in time have no defined laws. Some of these Enigmas are Mastemon, BlackWarGreymon, Diaboromon X and Omnimon Zwart D.
