Digimon Fusion,^[2] known in Japan as Digimon Xros Wars (dezimonkurosuuo-zu, Dejimon Kurosu Wozu; pronounced "Cross Wars") and also titled as Digimon Fusion Battles,^[3] is the sixth anime television series in the Digimon franchise, produced by Toei Animation. The series aired on TV Asahi from July 2010 to March 2012.

Its storyline follows the adventures of Mikey Kudo, who utilizes the power to fuse any of his Digimon partners. The series is divided into three arcs, with the latter two given the subtitles of The Evil Death Generals and the Seven Kingdoms (E nodesuzienerarutoQi tsunoWang Guo , Aku no Desu Jeneraru to Nanatsu no Okoku), and The Boy Hunters Who Leapt Through Time (Shi woQu keruShao Nian hanta-tachi, Toki o Kakeru Shonen Hanta-tachi) respectively.

The series was licensed outside of Asia by Saban Brands for an English-language adaptation, which was produced by Studiopolis; the third and final arc did not receive an English localization. The series was also adapted into a manga series and multiple video games.

Mikey Kudo receives the Fusion Loader, creates his own team (Fusion Fighters) and recruits some Digimon partners in the Digital World. There, he learns that Lord Bagramon is attempting to conquer the world by collecting 108 Code Crown fragments and wields the Darkness Loader. Mikey collects some fragments from each zones, but Bagramon steals them and recruits AxeKnightmon. Mikey, Angie Hinomoto and Jeremy Tsurugi are sent back to the human world, but Mikey returns to the Digital World, leaving his friends behind.

When Bagramon creates an empire divided into seven kingdoms, Mikey, Christopher Aonuma and Nene Amano defeat each general. They learn that Bagramon is using Ewan to oppose them, while they gathered negative energy from those which transformed fragments into a Dark Stone (D5). After Mikey saves Ewan and retrieves all fragments, Shoutmon defeats Bagramon and plans to bring peace to both worlds.

One year later, Mikey discovers an unstable realm between both worlds and learns that Quartzmon is absorbing data. The DigiQuartz is where Digimon Hunters capture Digimon for leaving any world and feeding negative emotions on anyone. The Clock Store Owner (a revived and regretful Bagramon in disguise) unites all heroic characters from different parallel universes. Tagiru and Gumdramon wield Bagramon's lost arm "Brave Snatcher", in order to defeat Quartzmon. With both worlds restored, all humans and their partners are separately return to their own universe. The series ends with Mikey, Tagiru and their friends planning their future.

The Fusion Fighters (known as Xros Heart in Japan) are the primary protagonist group in Digimon Fusion. The group is led by Mikey Kudo, who gains the Fusion Loader, a device that allows Digimon to combine through a process known as DigiXros. Using this ability, the team travels throughout the Digital World to oppose the Bagra Army and prevent it from gaining control by collecting the different scattered fragments of the Code Crown.

The Fusion Fighters consist of several human participants, including Mikey Kudo, Angie Hinomoto, Jeremy Tsurgi, and Nene Amano, each of whom is partnered with one or more Digimon allies. Prominent Digimon associated with the group include Shoutmon, Ballistamon, Dorulumon, the Starmons, Cutemon, and Sparrowmon.

Digimon Xros Wars was first publicly revealed in the June 2010 issue of Shueisha's V Jump magazine, including the name of the series and brief descriptions of the series and several main characters.^[6] It was directed by Tetsuya Endo and written by Riku Sanjo.^[7] A number of staffs and voice actors for the anime were selected from those from Gegege no Kitaro (2007) and Hakaba Kitaro (2008), including Riku Sanjo and Minami Takayama.^[8] A third season was decided suddenly, with Yukio Kaizawa as the main writer for the first episode. In order to retain the series' popularity, Mikey Kudo remained as a returning character, while Christopher and Nene were removed from the main cast. Instead, Ewan remained as a protagonist due to his character still needing growth.^[9] The series was the first to air in widescreen 16:9 and in HD 1080i, and aired on TV Asahi from July 6, 2010, to March 25, 2012. Crunchyroll began streaming the original Japanese version of the series outside of Japan, with English subtitles in November 2011.^[10]

In September 2012, it was announced that Saban Brands had acquired licensing rights to the Digimon brand and secured global rights to localize Digimon Fusion outside Asia, with Marvista Entertainment handling international sales.^[11] Saban Brands contracted Studiopolis to dub the series into English and hiring Noam Kaniel to compose the music for the series. In February 2013, Saban Brands pre-sold the series to Nickelodeon in the United States where it began airing on September 7, 2013, before being moved to Nicktoons after three episodes, and later began airing on The CW's Vortexx programming block from January 25 to September 27, 2014.^{[12][13][14][15][16][17]} The first season became available for streaming on Netflix starting September 13, 2014, while the second season became available on March 8, 2016.

In the United Kingdom, Saban Brands and Marvista Entertainment pre-sold the series to CITV in October 2013, and secured ITV Studios Global Entertainment as the exclusive UK licensing agent.^[18] The series premiered on CITV on February 24, 2014.^[1][19] YTV began airing the series on February 28, 2014.^{[citation needed]} In the Philippines, it began airing on Yey! after the end of Digimon Frontier, but it ended on July 1, 2020 (due to ABS-CBN's franchise renewal controversy).^{[citation needed]}

On its Japanese premiere, Digimon Fusion had a rating of 4.1 viewers.^[38] Digimon Xros Wars: The Boy Hunters Who Leapt Through Time was nominated for the 2012 International Emmy Kids Awards for Kids: Animation.^[39] Famicom Tsushin scored Digimon Story: Super Xros Wars 32 out of 40.^[40] Early responses by Anime News Network praised the pilot, stating nostalgic Digimon fans would enjoy it based on its new approach to power-ups within the main cast and compared it to the highly acclaimed mecha series Gurren Lagann despite suffering from cliches often seen in other anime.^[41][42][43] Voice actor Kyle Hebert said he enjoyed working in the English dub of the series as his two characters, Dorulumon and Balistamon, offered diverse characterization.^[44] Fellow actor Ben Diskin shared similar feelings, commenting he had been a fan of Fusion ever since its Japanese premiere and thus was glad to be voicing both Shoutmon and Cutemon, another pair of characters whose personalities differ greatly.^[45]

General critical reception has also been positive. Mediaverum enjoyed the early episodes from Fusion and recommended it to fans of both the first two Digimon Adventure series.^[46] While noting the series was aimed at a young audience, DVDCorner wrote that the series still had deep themes which might attract older viewers despite its flaws.^[47] ICv2 recommended the series for a young audience when checking the English DVDs.^[48][49] CulturedVultures left it up to the viewers to watch it or not, also recommending it to an audience that has knowledge of the franchise,^[50] while Metro stated it retained the appeal of its predecessors which overshadowed the famous Pokemon back in the 1990s.^[51] DVDTalk found mixed feelings when reviewing Fusion. While he lamented the series' focus on Digimons rather than humans, he still praised the show for its animation and recommended it to fans of the series.^[52] Capsule Monster commented that despite the apparent attempts of the series to expand marketing, Fusion offers an appealing story, as rather than focusing on friendship, it also contains dark themes rarely seen in children's shows which might attract other audiences.^[53]
