The Digimon anime franchise has one of the most extensive lores ever created, with each new entry adding to the universe and story of the series. From the origins of the titular monsters to the deities that inhabit this world, there are many topics that most fans are barely aware of.

Among the most interesting mysteries the series offers, the existence of parallel universes should be explored further in the anime. Wizardmon, one of Digimon in the first anime, is an excellent example of how much more fascinating the show's plot could have been by exploring his origins.

Wizardmon Is Not Who Fans Believe

He Was Not Originally a Digimon

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the original Digimon Adventure anime, one of the best entries in the franchise, a special CD drama was released. The intent behind this item was to expand the lore of the show, giving fans a deeper insight into the topics that were not given enough time during the original run, such as Wizardmon and Gatomon’s friendship. During their quest to find the crest of Light and stop the final Digidestined from ing the group, the two monsters talk about their past and how they met.

As the conversation approaches its end, Wizardom opens up to his friend by revealing that he is not originally from the Digital World, but rather a much different dimension. The name of this universe is not revealed in the CD drama, but the franchise has talked about it several times in side projects. This mystical dimension is called Witchelny, a place where data did not evolve the same way as it did in the original universe. Instead of granting its monsters power and weapons, the data of this world created powerful magic.

As such, the inhabitants of Witchelny can use the energy of their universe to control the laws of physics and the elements, as well as evolve themselves into more powerful sorcerers. Digimon's introduction of the parallel world has lamentably not been explored during any of the anime shows, as it seems to be exclusively referred to in data books. Nonetheless, the confirmation that Wizardmon is originally from this world implies the idea of utilizing it in the anime might become a reality someday.

Where Did Witchelny Come From?

Witchelny's Origins Are Quite Interesting

As most Digimon fans might be aware, the franchise did not begin as one of the best anime in history. The series had its origins in the form of a V-Pet, a spin-off of the world-famous toy known as Tamagotchi. This version quickly gained popularity, prompting the parent company behind it, Bandai, to create new lines of similar products. One of these was the Magical Witches V-pet, which was based on raising and training digital wizards.

Over the years, several of the most popular characters from this universe have been traveling to the Digital World, becoming a part of the lore of this beloved series. Besides Wizardmon, several other magic-related s have been confirmed to have once been inhabitants of Witchelny, such as Wisemon, Witchmon, and MedievalGallantom, considered by many fans as one of the best-designed Digimon in the franchise. New magical beings may be revealed as inhabitants of this fascinating world in future entries.

Digimon’s World Is Much More Than the Anime

The Show Barely Covers the Universe of the Franchise

While there is no denying that the Digimon anime franchise is among the most popular and beloved monster-taming shows in history, its use of the franchise’s universe is quite lacking. Most series focus on small portions of the mythos behind the franchise, making it hard for fans to understand how massive the lore is. There are several amazing locations and creatures, such as the franchise’s biggest monster, that viewers would love to learn about. Exploring the side contents of the Digimon franchise would be an amazing experience for any fan.
