DigiDestined

The DigiDestined (選ばれし子供 Erabareshi Kodomo?, lit. "Chosen Child") are the main heroes in the Digimon media franchise. They are referred to as "DigiEscolhidos" (Por: DigiChosen) in Brazilian materials. It is used in several Digimon anime series, to refer to special people who have Digimon as partners and are chosen by fate to save the Digital World.

DigiDestined are children selected by benevolent beings to protect the Digital World and sometimes Earth from evil forces. The Digital World is a plane on which Digimon, anthropomorphic creatures that originated from data produced by Earth's communication networks, live. The Digital World is volatile and is vulnerable to attack, and the Digimon that live there often find that they cannot defend their world on their own. Therefore, human children are recruited to defeat their enemies.
