34. According to Digimon Adventure 02, episode #14 and the Digimon Series Memorial Book

38. Based on "Goggles," Daisuke's track on Original Story 2003 -Spring-

39. According to Digimon Adventure tri., "Kyousei"

40. In Tag Tamers, Ryou watches the battle with Ken at the Ichijoujis' apartment, but in Our War Game, he is located in Turkey

41. Due to the continuity errors between Digimon Adventure 02, Tag Tamers, and Our War Game, it is unclear when the Digivice comes through Osamu's computer. According to Ken's character design in episode #23, he is in third grade, which would place the scene between April 2000 and March 2001, but in Tag Tamers, Ken joins Ryou for his first adventure in the Digital World soon after the events of Our War Game

42. According to the Tag Tamers user manual, this takes place in August 2000, which coincides with Ken's memory of encountering a Digimon at that time, but the manual also says this takes place not long after Our War Game

43. It is unclear how many times Ken travels to the Digital World, as Ken's third grade design is used for when he first uses the Digivice and his fourth grade design is used when he receives the Dark Seed, both in the anime and in Tag Tamers

44. Based on Digimon Adventure 02, episode #23

45. Given the fact that Ken has a Crest in Digimon Adventure 02, he must receive it sometime before the series while he is in the Digital World

46. It is heavily implied from Digimon Tamers that this DigiTama evolves into Cyberdramon

47. Speculated according to Digimon Adventure 02, episode #27, based on the fact that this is the most likely time between Our War Game in March 2000 and "A Letter to My Father" in October 2000 for this to happen

48. According to Digimon Adventure 02, episode #1

49. According to Digimon Adventure 02, episode #2

50. According to "A Letter to My Father," Sora's track on Original Story: 2½ Year Break

51. Estimated based on Digimon Adventure 02, episode #27

52. According to Digimon Adventure 02, episode #33, but this is blatantly inconsistent with Tag Tamers and his memory is unreliable

53. According to "Spring Sunlight," Ken's track on Original Story 2003 -Spring- and Digimon Adventure 02, episode #23

54. Japanese funerals are typically 49 days after the death

55. According to Digimon Adventure 02, episodes #44 & #48

56. According to "As I Play the Bass Guitar," Yamato's track on Original Story: 2½ Year Break

57. According to "Chat," Koushirou's track on Original Story: 2½ Year Break

58. According to the track, this happens the day before Koushirou's chat with Gennai, which is impossible since that happens after the new school year starts in April

59. According to "Video Mail," Mimi's track on Original Story: 2½ Year Break

60. According to Digimon Adventure 02, episode #8

61. Youth soccer tournaments typically occur in late July or early August

62. Estimated based on Digimon Adventure 02, episode #37

63. Japanese school years typically begin on the Monday of the first full week in April

64. This is the first scene in Digimon Adventure 02, episode #2

65. According to Digimon Adventure 02, episode #46

66. According to "As I Type on the Keyboard," Takeru's track on Original Story 2003 -Spring-

67. Estimated based on the fact that the audio drama is most likely set soon after the events of 02

68. According to "I've Become a Middle-Schooler," Miyako's track of Original Story 2003 -Spring-

69. According to "A Visit to the Grave," Iori's track on Original Story 2003 -Spring-

70. According to "Spring Sunlight," Ken's track on Original Story 2003 -Spring-

71. According to "Hikari's Introductory Course to Partners," Hikari's track on Original Story 2003 -Spring-

72. As shown in Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna

73. Estimated based on Digimon Adventure tri., "Saikai"

74. According to Digimon Adventure tri., "Saikai"

75. Kuwagamon arrives at approximately 2 p.m., but it is dark when Greymon and Kuwagamon arrive at Haneda airport via a distortion

76. This is very heavily implied in the Digimon Adventure tri. series but is never outright stated

77. According to Digimon Adventure tri., "Kokuhaku"

78. The stage play technically takes place during the events of Digimon Adventure tri., but it does not fit within the canon of the anime

79. According to Digimon Adventure tri., "Our Future"

80. Speculation based on the fact that Taichi has his original goggles in Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna, but there is no legitimate indication as to why or when

81. Speculation based on the fact that he no longer plays in a band in Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna and that this is his final year in high school

82. Estimated based on Where Should We Go?

83. According to Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna supplemental material

84. Speculation based on Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna and Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning

85. Estimated based on "To Sora" Memorial Short

86. According to Where Should We Go?

87. How long after the morning's events this occurs is unclear, but it seems unlikely for it to be more than a day

88. Speculation based on the fact that Daisuke once again has Taichi's goggles in Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning

89. Estimated based on "An SOS to Our Brothers! Takeru and Hikari's Secret Mission?!" Theater Bonus Audio Drama

90. According to "An SOS to Our Brothers! Takeru and Hikari's Secret Mission?!" Theater Bonus Audio Drama

91. It is heavily implied in Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna that Taichi, Yamato, and Sora will reunite with their partners in the not-so-distant future
