This version, entitled "Digimon Are The Champions" (also referred to as the "Digimon Theme") is used in the English dub of デジモンアドベンチャー, as broadcast in its country of origin, the United States. It is used for all 54 episodes in the series, during the show's entire original run in the U.S. from 14 August 1999 to 24 June 2000.

An instrumental version of the theme is played during the end credits for all English versions.

The theme itself was reused in the English dub of デジモンアドベンチャー 02 ZERO TWO. It was then later reused again and remixed in the English dub of デジモンテイマーズ.

Digivolve into champions! Digivolve into ultimate! Digimon! Digital Monsters! Digimon are the champions! Digimon! Digital Monsters! Digimon are the champions! Digimon! Digital Monsters! DIGIMON!

Trivia

 * While the theme was reused in デジモンアドベンチャー 02 ZERO TWO and デジモンテイマーズ, the line "Digivolve into ultimate" was changed a lot to fit with the other series' primary digivolution; with Digimon Adventure 02 replacing it with "Armor Digivolve", and Digimon Tamers replacing it with "Digimodify".
