Digimon Xros Wars (デジモンクロスウォーズ Dejimon Kurosu Wōzu), pronounced Digimon Cross Wars, is the sixth anime series in the Digimon franchise by Akiyoshi Hongo. It is divided into two seasons, with the second season titled Digimon Xros Wars: The Evil Death Generals and the Seven Kingdoms (デジモンクロスウォーズ～悪のデスジェネラルと七人の王国～ Dejimon Kurosu Wōzu: Aku no Desu Jeneraru to Nanajin no Oukoku), and is followed by a sequel series titled Digimon Xros Wars: The Boy Hunters who Leap through Time (デジモンクロスウォーズ～時を駆ける少年ハンターたち～ Dejimon Kurosu Wōzu: Toki wo Kakeru Shounen Hantā-tachi).

Its first episode aired on July 6, 2010 on TV Asahi, making it the first season in the series to air on another network in Japan (Fuji Television aired all other seasons prior to Xros Wars). Three and a quarter years after the end of the fifth season, a new sixth series was confirmed by Bandai for the Digimon anime. The official name of the series was revealed in the June issue of Shueisha's V Jump magazine. The art style for the series is more like the first four seasons than that of Data Squad, and traditions such as the Goggles have been brought back. It is also the first Digimon series to be broadcast in Widescreen and in Hi-Def. No official word has been released on whether it will be dubbed and aired in North America or Europe, although Toei has filed a trademark for a "Digimon Fusion Battles" with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
The premiere of this new series coincides with the release of a broad range of merchandise, such as the Super Digica Taisen card game, the Digimon X Arena arcade game, the Digimon Xros Loader virtual pet, the Digimon Xros Figure Series toys, and a series of straps that will be sold in capsule toy vending machines.
