The "Digimon Vital Bracelet" officially launched on March 13, 2021, and many players have since gotten their hands on the highly sought-after device known as the "V-Band" or "Vital Bracelet". Fans have begun raising and evolving their Digimon, with active discussions about their virtual pets' progress appearing on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
However, among the many joyful stories, a few unfortunate cases have also surfaced—though not due to the Digimon dying from neglect, but rather from even more heartbreaking circumstances.
Dog Destroys Rare "Vital Bracelet" Special Edition
Recently, a Japanese Twitter user, GTS_PENGERION (@pengerion), shared a distressing photo of his "Vital Bracelet Special Edition" after waking up to find it chewed to pieces by his dog. Despite the destruction, the dog was peacefully sleeping nearby, seemingly unaware of the chaos caused.
In a bittersweet twist, some netizens humorously noted that the cracks on the bracelet resembled the shape of a dog, suggesting the damage was not just mischief but perhaps a symbolic protest—like the dog saying, "You already have me, so why are you raising a Digimon too?"
Many sympathized with the owner, as the bracelet had only just been obtained, and his V-mon Digimon had not yet evolved to its mature stage before this unfortunate end.
Initial Excitement and Sudden Misfortune
The day before the incident, the owner had excitedly shared the contents of the special edition, which was released earlier than the standard version. He also showed off a Dim Card featuring the Dark Battle Greymon evolution. Before going to sleep, his Digimon had just evolved from Koromon to V-mon, marking what should have been a wonderful beginning.
The sudden destruction of the bracelet was truly a heartbreaking event for the owner and the community alike.
Community Advice: Use Protective Covers
In response, many fans recommended using impact-absorbing protective films or covers to safeguard the bracelet. Such protection can prevent accidental damage from slips or bumps, helping avoid total loss of the device.
In fact, before the Vital Bracelet's release, third-party manufacturers in Japan had already launched dedicated protective films for the Digimon Vital Bracelet. Similar protective accessories were even available for previous Digimon devices like the classic Digimon virtual pets.
