Like you said, a Digivice isn't required for evolulution, it just makes things easier and faster. In the original show there was this exchange between taichi and Homoestasis (while possessing hikari) explaining that. Homeostasis: both you and hikari made the digiegg that wondered into the real world evolve into greymon, remember? Taichi: No, he evolved on his own! Homeostasis: Theres is no such thing as a spontaneous evolution... It was because of your presence there that allowed him to evolve into Greymon Taichi: But we didn't do anything, we didn't even have a Digivice Homeostasis: If you think of the Digivice as a merely tool for evolution then you are mistaken Referencing the Original Adventure ova when Taichi and Hikari made Giant Agumon evolve without the help of a Digivice.

[@SuperGamefreak18]

Yup it’s also the reason why normally outside of the digimon tamers it’s rare to see ultimate level digimon and mega level of mythical digimon

Good reference.

[@Knight41b]

Nice reference, but what happens when the human partners get separated from their Digimon and have nothing to defend themselves with when confronted with a Dark Digimon or one that is controlled? The Digivices held the power to push back against the corrupted darkness. Also in the Devimon arc, Izzy met Centarumon who then (after being freed from the Black Gear) showed a mural of an ancient Digivice.

[@shadowjohn29]

After seeing the beginning, I can envision the potential for a third and final film focusing on both casts of DigiDestined. Notably, Ukkomon has now reverted to an egg, leaving the door open for everyone in the world to gradually receive a Digimon, similarly to the slow emergence of new Digimon and partners each year as initially mentioned in the film. I think the final film should be a return to the Digital World, ideally set during the summer to echo the events of ’01, bringing the story full circle.

[@carlosceballosramirez1545]

What never made any sense about Kizuna is that Sora, Matt and Tai were the ones who lost their Digimon because they were about to embark on the responsibility of their new careers and the movie made it seem like they're too busy to be with or have their Digimon with them but in that exact same movie you have Mimi, Joe, and Izzy who have full on jobs, careers and internships that are ahead of the other 3 and they have their Digimon just chilling with them in the background or helping out as they're just doing their respective careers. Not to mention Joe is the oldest and he was showing signs of not caring about Digimon or having time for them since tri, and then in Kizuna he's basically working and takes gomamon with him. My issue is that it's not an age thing or a time management thing that takes away your Digimon according to the writers, it's if you're a main character thing it seems.

[@johnjacksonrodriguez6177]

They did disappear though. Yes when everyone woke up from their comma Joe, Mimi, and Koushiro still have their digimons. But during the ending song, only the 02 casts have their digimon partners with them, unlike Joe, Mimi, and Koushiro who were shown without their Digimon partners. Taichi, Yamato, and Sora were the first ones to have their digivices destroyed, but not long after Joe, Koushiro, and Mimi soon followed. And this is coming from someone who watched the movie yesterday.

[@PorksG]

We must have watched 2 separate movies, it was never a time management or maturity thing, it's quite literally stated it was a "potential" thing, Tai and mat reached the maximum potential that the had with their partners, reaching the literal final end all evolution of their digimon, reaching the maximum potential of their bonds between eachother, the bond of friendship and courage, once their potential is fully realised, their partners are no longer required to be there with them, as sad as it is, that's what their purpose was, the digimon, to ensure their partners reached the best person they could possibly be, but you are also correct, it is a main character/rival thing, that's just anime

[@spiraltech3034]

​@@PorksGdon't forget tai and may both have siblings. They both had to grow up fast and be who they can be fast in order to guide them as well. They reached the limit sooner cause they had to

It’s just forced drama BS. They needed a way to force in drama and suspense. Kizuna is trash and so is the “story”

[@pokenerd-harry]

I think a third film would be good involving both teams and end it with the epilogue in the credits

[@eurovisionfannz2348]

The movie mentioned that there were 60,000 DigiDestined in 2012 and the number doubles each year. By 2027, the estimated number of DigiDestined would be just under 2 billion.

[@gameguycommenter]

I believe that the director for 02 the beginning stated this movie was intended to be the start of that final march to the original epilogue. He mentioned the discovery of a force that worked to prevent evolution that was extraterrestrial in origin, even saying Yamato and Gabumon went to investigate it, and that the peacefull world we saw in the epilogue was not one that occurred quickly or painlessly. So it seems likely to me that the conclusion that there will be at least one more movie to bring the ending of this and kazuna in line with the epilogue. I can only hope at least because I love the 02 and adventure cast and would love to see one final movie with them.

[@p96822]

Well, there’s a big problem here because they’re unable to get back to the digital world because the Digivice was used as a link to open the gateway to and from the digital world

[@Knight41b]

Another thing I realized is that Tai’s group’s Digivices were specifically created by Homeostasis & Gennai while Davis’s group were created possibly by the four sovereigns with Gennai’s help. Basically any Digivice that has a direct connection to the Crests / Digimentals should still exist if their potential still exist. I always considered the D3s to be the definitive version of the Adventure Digivice where all of the previous flaws of the old model was fixed (possibly the timer as well).

​@@Knight41byes, but they are ALL GONE, so how will they even get back?

Wasn’t Izzy working on a method to get into the digital world without a digivice after the end of Kizuna? And based on what we saw in the epilogue, that research was a success. Think about it, at the time of those movies, Izzy was able to transfer the app for digivolution to their phones

I would get it if the other kids that suddenly got digimon has there digimon disappear. Digimon all over the world came out of nowhere,

[@elecrom_9757]

It's just annoying that with every new Adventure Media coming out they aren't picking up left Plot Points from the previous one. Digimon Tri had Dark Gennai, Kizuna had the contradiction with the 02 Epilogue and The Beginning has the ominous Higher Power that might or might not be Homoestasis or Yggdrasil. As well as some errors like the fight against Apocalymon kind of contradicting that the Adventure Digidestined could lose the power to evolve their partner's into Perfect and Ultimate levels permamently and Ukkomon being able to revert into a Digiegg despite dying in the Real World which Wizardmon wasn't able to do.

[@rafaelbruno2128]

[@glitchyfox8706]

The only other Digimon who dies in the real world and turns into an egg was cocomon. Both were partnered Digimon so that could be it? As long as their partners live then so do they sort of thing.

[@SuperJosteen]

Honestly i feel like the digimon adventure canon have been a mess since 02 because they just kept using different writers who all came up with their own ideas and vision about the show and it always end up clashing with one another. If they are planning a final movie its going to need a massive plotdump and asspulls to tie up all the loose ends and plot holes or else many fans might not feel satisfied with it and asked for more again

[@brandonhowell5096]

they could do a sort of Tri season thats set after the movie to maybe tie-up loose ends

[@Tazer_Silverscar]

My concern is that a lot of writers in Japan seem to actively *LIKE* leaving unanswered questions. I don't know why, but it's quite consistent with just about everything connected to Bandai. And they're always BIG questions. This is especially the case with older creators, and it's something of a habit that they bring in their own opinions too, which can be harmful (see the lead writer of Tamers and his 'sequel story' to Tamers involving cancel culture, for example).

[@agustinnegro8854]

@Tazer_Silverscar nothing wrong with the Tamers thing.

[@Tazer_Silverscar]

@@agustinnegro8854 Generally part of the problem with making this big a thing out of cancel culture is that not only does it tend to make it worse, but it also kinda suggests they've got something to hide. It's also just... really kinda blunt handling of it. It's kind of a weird choice, turning it into some kind of a weapon instead of what it actually is, which is chaos caused by social media trying to self-police when there isn't a suitable alternative (which yes, I know this is exploitable, but it's still a really weird take).

[@agustinnegro8854]

@@Tazer_Silverscar Cancel Culture getting worse because of that, if anything, just proves how bad it. It's not really the writers fault unless they are promoting it. And what with the "trying to hide something" thing? That's an unfair accusation based on bias unless we have actual proof of it. Digimon is a franchise about Digital Monsters where the internet has obviously always been relevant (see Our War Games for example) so it being blunt is expected from the franchise whose characters are just made out of data. Also, there's no need for the "suitable alternative" bit. You and I know very well just from going at sites like Twitter that most people that cancel or dox others simply do it for the rush it gives to ruin someone life behind the screen. Them being right or doing it for a just cause is the minority sadly. The internet cannot have the last word in what's right or not. I know that Right-Wingers use the "Cancel Culture" word a lot, but even if you disagree with the term, you have to accept that it has become very common for people to dox or try to ruin each others lives or reputations simply because. That is pretty much what most people mean when talking about Cancel Culture, and I imagine Konaka was going for the same.

[@mitch_universe4058]

I seriously wish these digimon videos were longer I cannot get enough of them and there’s not nearly enough digimon content on KZbin. Sort of a side effect of having a not very active franchise though unfortunately

[@sandlax9509]

Agumon and Gabumon can definitely comeback as Gennai states that the digidestined somehow need to obtain unlimited potential to prevent their bond from dissipating. It's never stated whether obtaining unlimited potential after losing your digimon will let you reestablish a bond, but it's on the table.

I'm so glad these two sequels are decent movies with solid scripts thought out to be alligned with the canon events of the series in regards to the original digichosens and the second generation of digichosens. There could a third and even a fourth movie. The writers seem to have a plan. As long as the movies are good, bring them! P.S.: Just realized the English translation is digidestined. In Brazil, it's digiescolhido, digichosen.

[@mega2009man]

The third film is almost confirmed cuz of the open endings of these films. Besides, it may have been Ukkomon's wish but not its power. Who or whatever its connection is with is still out there, which means the "wish" can still come true. Something that powerful needs a movie of its own and Homeostasis alone could use its own dedicated movie

You really have hope for writers and directors to no screw up whatever next movie(s) will be. I mean, look at Tri? Wtf was that even about and what was the point of it and now this movie.

It's a Digimon, how hard is to write stories that don't have million plot holes.

[@Blackotakunerd]

My question is does tri still count because we see Meiko in last kizuna with the crowd of kids in the final battle. So that would mean maki and daigo were also chosen children which would mean lui wasn’t the first chosen one. Plus in digimon adventure did Geni say they’re were more kids before the OG cast?

[@yybricks1361]

Kinda makes you wonder since the digivices are gone,are Jogress digivolutions / armored digivolution still possible and can omegamon be fused without a digivice?

[@shienjiryu9581]

I think there is going to be a 3rd movie too where yggdrasil is the final big boss. Look at ukomon. Big ukomon took the form of a massive tree with all those branches of light and eggs growing like fruit (which are kinda technically the same thing) they go out of the way to tell us he is connected to a higher being but refuse to say who. It makes sense that at some point they need to square off with yggdrasil and maybe even temporarily shut down the digital world server leading to billions of digimon having to find refuge in the human world. As an ambassador tai would see this coming and would be making lots of plans with izzy to contain the impact of the what if scenario. The threat of ukomon likely pushed government entities to consider how theyd approach a world where everyone had a digimon and they have a few years to sort it out. While battling with yggdrasil i assume they would find final saved copies of the 01 digimon data and would be able to restore them (maybe partway through or maybe the 02 kids would take the lead again. Maybe even ukomon would be the main one to bring down yggdrasil) Id also like them to touch on tri a little more. I'm still in the camp of tri is cannon rather ya like it or not because at the very least we know there was an original party of 5 kids before 01. If they were a little older it might have happened after ukomon but it seems to make more sense if their adventure took place beforehand and rui was just unaware of them. I hope you see this comment because i would love to hear your take on a 3rd film prediction where the final boss is yggdrasil.

[@maryo274artworks4]

I personally wouldn't have minded if the 02 epilogue wasn't canon anymore. The fact that they keep saying it's canon kinda takes away from any stakes or emotional impact the movies could have since we already know it's all leading to the same ending. Also, I kinda hope that after a third Adventure movie, Toei finally shifts its attention to other Digimon franchises. Tamers literally had a time traveling sequel in the form of a audio drama that they never brother to finish and was ended with a freaking cliffhanger, Frontier also had an audio story with the Digidestined a bit older in the real world and it would be nice to see them get some spotlight. Data Squad was totally forgotten after the leaders reunion in Fusion and speaking of Fusion, it ended with a pretty ambiguous open ending that could have meant more adventures for the future. Same for Appmon and Ghost Game. Appmon was mostly in the shadow of Tri, which was aired at almost the same time and Ghost Game was a mess regarding story with the plot taking importance 3 episodes before the actual finale. After everything Toei did with Digimon, they eventually always shifted back to Adventure, sequels, the mostly Tai-centric reboot. At this point I think it's better to just pull the plug on Adventure and let other seasons shine for a while. Especially Tamers and Frontier.

[@chrislo2533]

I think, at least for me, Lui didn’t stop the wish. He only re-enacted the situation, he never went back in time, he just seeing the flashbacks. It was said when they fall, they went through the eggs and not transported. If Lui did change his wishes and future would’ve change but it didn’t, the only thing he managed to stop is forcing others to having a digimon without their consent.

[@E_X_I_T]

Great video dude

[@twarnold14]

As The Beginning was finishing, I was already thinking that there would have to be another movie. At the very least, Ukkomon's power's mysterious origins feel like sequel bait. And the answer to the question "how does Tai and Matt get Agumon and Gabumon back" feels like it would be a story worth telling. I was worried that they wouldn't want to bring the original Adventure story to a close again after reopening it for Tri. But you make a good point that 2027 would be a great time to put a final bow on the saga of our original 12 digidestined. Although it would need to actually focus on those 12 and not add yet another kid. I personally would like them to do more than a movie. My ideal vision would be a mini series featuring some of the other digidestined, starting with the world tour ones and then movie characters and finally some of the 12 that won't be featured as much in the finale. That can run from August until December 2026, and then at the start of 2027 can be the final movie. August 1 has obvious importance in Adventure canon, but I believe the 02 finale takes place around New Year's Eve so I wanted to call back on that too.

[@airsoul366]

I mean, there are instances of the Digidestined not needing Digivices for their partners to evolve, Digimon Survive had the kids with proper partners but no digivices, and the MC of both Cyber Slueths had a canonical partner that was able to evolve without a digivice. On the topic of Agumon, Gabumon, and Biyomon, Jennai never said their Digimon would stop existing, and Matts epilogue monologue about their future implied they just went back to the digital world, and since you cant go to the digital world without a digivice, they are essentially cut off.

[@SeventhchildDDM]

How does Lui work with the original Digidestined? Aren't they older than all of them? Was he a response to their failure? I love the OG cast, but what I wouldn't give for a movie or TV show about their adventures and answers to what happened to everyone. That little epilogue from tri made me so hungry for more.

@@shshshs2 I kind of wonder if maybe the original 5 Digidestined happened before everyone and that maybe Lui happened as a result?

I need to know, but yes back to the original question how does all of this wishing stuff work when the original 5 Digidestined are considerably older than Lui and had to take place before he ever even met his genie digimon?

[@user-yc3jx5tv1c]

I mean, they showed it in both Kizuna & the beginning that smart phones pretty much become the defacto "degivice" for evolution. Them using the D3 was more sentimental. Also, I do think there'll be a follow movie as the beginning feels like a title for a part of a series.

[@mechspiral]

Imo nothing in the last two movies undoes the epilogue. LEK does end with the Adventure cast losing their partners, but it also ends with the note that they will see eachother again someday. Sure it would be nice to see exactly how, but for all we know Agu/Gabu/Biyo etc are all just in the digital world. As for The Beginning, I read the ending as such that even despite the wish being undone that the bonds between humans and digimon would continue to grow over time and that eventually everyone would have a partner. A friend of mine said that they thought the whole conflict was counter to that, but I saw it as the issue not being everyone getting a partner, just that everyone getting a partner all at once would result in lots of chaos. So yeah while a 3rd film to tie it all together back to the 02 epilogue wouldnt be the worst thing, I think even left as is nothing really is broken.

[@greenlevi]

ahhh this analysis gives me hope for potential movie

[@odistabettor]

One way it might work without destroying Earth is for it to be like some of the video games, where the Digital World is accessible via a kind of VR immersive experience, and then the Digimon can enter Earth like advanced holograms. I doubt this is how it goes, because it seems like some are physically interacting on Earth in the epilogue. Just like with this film, I'm clueless but anticipate it greatly.

[@kairusaotome95]

So Ive had a few thoughts. 1. With the first two gens of Digivice gone now. What is stopping Koshiro from making a new Man-Made Digivice? He was kinda doing that in Tri/Last Kizuna. 2. Most video games version of the Digivice comes in various forms not just the V-Pet, in Cyber Sleuth they were Cellphones/Goggles, ect. 3.Dark Gennai made a comment about possibly reviving Diaboromon. If a new gate to the Digital World opens connecting the worlds that becomes stable. Diaboromon would make the best final villian to return (also feels deserved so.) Especially since Koshiro has been developing Digimon friendly tech, imagine a more advanced WWW plus access to the Digital World, that tech and the WWW.

[@jdub9661]

Great video bro🤙

[@thedigiknow]

Appreciate it!

[@AussieDragoon]

I don't think a third film is all that necessary, the movie left it ambiguous and even had Lui directly state that he wasn't sure if what he knew was absolutely true. I don't think we need to see them directly find Agumon and Gabumon, we can just assume that something about the Digivice forced them back to digital world when some arbitrary limit was hit, and now that they're gone they can just travel to the digital world and find them like Ken did with Wormmon in 02. It kind of tracks since the digivice is gone so any limit cause by them are gone too, and it works thematically with this movie which implies that the digivice represented a limit on the relation between humans and their partners because some people like Lui believe it's what's connecting them at all without forming bond with his Digimon outside of it. If they make a new film, fine, though it will likely have the same problem later Tri and Kizuna did where half the cast has nothing to do and just show up to show up (this movie balances the 02 cast better, and least they're all directly involved), but I don't think you need it to infer what happens.

[@ChristianJ18]

We need a third film as a conclusion reunion older.

[@zomfragger]

There is a fix in Cannon. In Season 2 we are introduced to the Primary village where all Digimon who perished are reborn. Having every human get a Digimon partner all at once would be a disaster. However over time like a decade would be a strain but it would allow the world to adapt. Also at the end of season 2 we know that the digi world and the real world became connected enough that travel is possible for everyone thus trade would exist to ease the stains of resources.

Given how Morphomon's data was apparently still out there, I've always thought that the data that is Agu, Gabu etc. is kind of caught in between worlds until it is recycled into the Digital World... or maybe the wish has been causing massive amounts of extra data to come into existence and all the 'lost' Digimon are now in a place akin to a desktop's Recycle Bin. Of course, Recycle Bins can be emptied... so who has control of that command and when will the tipping point of this 'Bin' being too full occur? :x

My understanding is that Ukkomon basically had nothing to do with the rest of the canon already previously established (digivices, chosen children, etc.). Ukkomon's power is severely limited (we see it only able to tentacle possess control five humans during Lui's 8th birthday (and likewise Ukkomon's 4th birthday considering Ukkomon was born on Lui's 4th birthday)) and it was apologizing profoundly for being only able to bring five humans to Lui's birthday party. It seems to be that it was just Ukkomon being immature and innocent leading it to so badly misinterpret and twist Lui's wishes that it just lied to him saying, "Yeah, those guys (Omegamon fighting Diaboromon) on TV are what you wished for!", even though Ukkomon would most likely not have the power available to pull that many strings behind the scene No idea about the digivices disappearing though. It seemed to me like the writers just want to do a sneaky little "Hey look we don't need Pokéballs to ensure our mons are our slaves like what a certain other franchise is doing" lololol

[@dramonmaster222]

Interesting theory. I am SO here for more Digimon though.

[@LeoMagnum12]

tbf I'd like very much to see a new series as the conclusive chapter, the perfect filling for all the missing pieces that are left hangin Sure that it can be the maasive nostalgia injection talking, but to see them all back together after 20+ years just made me miss even more the stories being told from a multichapter perspective. It could fit perfectly as a final crusade for the OG dd (including the 02 crew), plus provide fitting answers and deepen the lore, mixing in higher stakes with the themes 02 had throughout its run (upping the ante as they're all grown now). But all in all, I sure as hell hope there's a next chapter - any way it comes. Just think that couldn't hurt to give a little more screen time to clock it all in one final saga 👀

[@rafaelbruno2128]

Now THAT is the direction I want to see Digimon going.

[@SquirreLJ7]

This is just a theory, but bhe vibe I got for the "higher power" Ukkomon was connected to might have something to do with that weird dream dimension where the final fight against MaloMyotismon was. This might be speculation, but the post-credits snippets from Kizuna made me think that Tentomon, Gomamon, and Palmon had all also vanished because, unlike Patamon and Gatomon, they weren't with their partners in those scenes. I still think 02's epilogue is "canon," but I think The Beginning was meant to be an alternate timeline; I'm not exactly big on multiverse theory or anything like that, but the piece at the start of The Beginning where it says "Route 02" gave me the sense that this was an alternate route like in a video game with multiple endings. In that sense, 02's epilogue would be the "bad ending," the canon "destiny" that the eponymous "DigiDestined" were fighting against in The Beginning. I don't think that means Agumon et al are gone forever in either route cuz, like, Tai and Matt say, "I will see you again," at the end of Kizuna, and that feels like a promise as much to us the viewers as it does to themselves.

[@DragoonMS]

"Digimon Adventure III: The Search for Agumon"...a fantabulous if unintentional nod to Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. 😏😎 Didn't we see that a lot of kids had their own Digivices and partner Digimon during the World Tour arc of 02, though? So in a sense, at least most kids worldwide already had Digimon by the end of 02. Naturally, more would've been granted in the decade since - Meiko and Meicoomon suddenly make an awful lot of sense instead of being some random newcomers - and it's also safe to guesstimate that Meicoomon too would have been lost in 2010 at the end of Kizuna. And what if the loss of Digivices and D3s everywhere means that any & everyone around the age of the 02 crew - including the 02 crew themselves - *DON'T HAVE TO* worry about what happened to the older 01 crew?? No Digivice, no countdown timer. No countdown timer, no disappearing.

[@nataliemotomiya]

I love this movie ❤❤❤❤ Daisuke Motomiya is positive as always and I love him ❤❤❤❤❤ The story with Rui and Ukkomon is beautiful and sad 😢❤ I think if we will get another movie it will be announced at Digi Con 2024 in februar 🤔

[@inukaiser]

this movie was garbage,you must have bad taste

[@omikamiz568]

I would love if they somehow ited Tamer to both Adventure and 02. I mean there already has a connection with 02 and Tamer through Ryo. He is originate from 1-2 story but in the game(the one with Milleniumon). Even in the OG 02, He also appear during Ken's story and when Ken was infect with Dark Spore. Heck, If I remember correctly, he also appear during 01 Diaboromon movie too. And if the 3rd Film is all about reunion. I would love to see Tamers also get one too.

[@dragonwatter]

i mean durring the final battle with apocolymon it was clearly stated that the digivices and crests were simply tools that nade the energy transference easier.

[@thedigiknow]

Yep just reminding folks who maybe thought the end of the new movie means something it doesn’t

[@grapetaems_4492]

5:23 I thought it was implied that the original digidestined with the exception of TK and Kari also lost their digimon after Last Evolution bc in the credits they all are show without their digimon except for TK and Kari

[@benjaminacuna8013]

I mean we do have to realize that there are multiple time lines so the “canon” epilogue is less “canon” and more a possible future. It bears remember that Tri is its own continuity we also got a 2020 reboot, and it feels like Kizuna and the Beginning are there own continuity as well.

[@Manavine]

03 did have the members meet their digimon again, so it'd actually line up in that way. If some of the other 01 digimon avoided the fate Agumon, Gabumon, and Biyomon had... I feel *Tentomon* is the most likely to avoid that fate, due to Izzy's future.

[@user-hv6vs8mn1w]

This video was better again. 😊 And making it a Trilogy with a 3rd movie in 2027 would be so cool. The only problem I have with continuity and retconning, isn't between Kizuna, The Beginning and the 02 epilogue but between The Beginning and Adventure Tri and the story of the original DigiDestined.

[@aokyoutsuki7744]

I thought... Its commonly accepted that Tri is an anomaly with how weird the continuity and writing was for it

[@user-hv6vs8mn1w]

@@aokyoutsuki7744 But it feels weird to say that everything is canon, but Tri isn't. Someone brought up a Different Timeline Theory. I could live with that. In fact, one of my favorite video games, AI: The somnium Files, is all about different timelines. That's why I kinda like the concept.

[@Firedrake-SP]

I don't mind the idea about the first Digi-Destined because its unique and interesting. Though at I'm not a fan of the Idea that all the Digi-Destined have a bond with their Digimon due to this one Digimon. But I almost forgive the Idea because Ukkomon said that he's connected to this hire being (whoever/whatever this hire being is). And because I like the happy ending in this movie.

[@note9167]

Hi anyone knows where I can watch the movie online Sadly in my country there are no screening of the movie

[@DrawciaGleam02]

I thought the reason digimon-human partnerships existing in the first place would be a LOT darker, lol. Like the evil digimon were trying to use digivices as a way to take over the human world but the plan backfired BIG TIME.

[@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective]

Last Evolution Kizuna was heartbreaking but not for the reason you’re thinking, it’s been made pretty clear it’s own ending was a straight up mistake when the head writer quit in disgust for the “timer” nonsense being against the series core values. Only to then gave Digimon Survive release and essentially highlight the “time limit on potential” nonsense was a poor way to write a Digimon story. I’d like to think a 3rd movie will come to wipe LEK from the series timeline and give the adventure cast a send off they deserve. Then again Digimon is in this odd phase of having its reboot series and these odd sequel entries so it’s kinda hard to say.

[@DrawciaGleam02]

I think the timer for potiental makes more sense when a tamer DIES instead of them growing up. I know Survive has a digimon fade away as soon as their partner dies but the timer being used to instead showcase how long a Digimon has before disappearing after their partner dies seems more intriguing.....

[@Vaeltis]

I would love a third movie in 2027 that connects the loop together.

[@stephvondames6369]

The good news is that at least the 02 group can now achieve Ultimate or Mega, especially since the D-3s didn't allow it.

[@maryfaith8607]

May I note that everyone on earth seems to have a digimon but are in the digital world in the epilogue? That allows the number of digimon to grow without worrying about the space and food and such for all living beings. That means they need to connect the digital world to the human world without the D3’s. But that is possible. Sure they already have doors that open futuristically in 2027 but by limiting how much technology was shown (cause who knew everyone would have smart phones even in 2012) there must be a lot we don’t know they have.

[@chaoslacky1585]

It felt more like a movie for the new character Lui then it was for the 02 kids. Although it was a good story on it's own.

[@FaolanKitekaze]

I dont know if i want a third film. I really did not like 02 the beginning and im not sure that the team behind the films can deliver a satisfying ending to this story

[@jsol_03]

Personally if they bring back the partner digimon at left after kizuna it would ruin probably the most emotional ending to an izukai I’ve ever seen but I can keep an open mind. As for the idea of a potential 3 final movie in 2027 that would be the most genius move from an anime franchise I’ve ever seen and pray it happens

[@josepbuigues1336]

I'd like you to try to make an animated series that takes place between the beginning and the 02 epilogue.

[@josepbuigues1336]

I meant I'd like it if the people who made Digimon try to make that show.

[@raymontyoungblood4453]

Dude, your video was literally the conversation that I had with my friends after I saw the movie. I'm so happy that like minded people exist out here. I am so excited for the future of the Adventure Digidestined!!!

[@xcmet]

I'll be happy when the digimon 02 adventure series movies are over. I'm just ready for a digimon tamers movie.

[@nadanunca2]

There’s a lot of issues since in the original and in Tri we learn about the first digidestined way before 02 cast were even born. By the end of 02 it is revealed that everyone has a digimon partner waiting for them but somehow not everyone has the chance to get together with them. So this “first digidestined” in 02 the begging is either a lie that will be explained later or it just a plot hole

[@randomduelist5]

The fact that the digivice was not neccesary was already established in the first episode of 02 when agumon told tai he needed help to digivolve since he could not do it on his own because of the control spires, even better ken took control of greymon in 02 so it was already clear they could digivolve at least to champion on their own, this is my personal opinion but this movie makes kizuna even worse then it already was and this one makes things way more complicated then it needs to be, lore does not have to be 100% accurate that is an absolute nightmare and writers should be allowed to have some freedom in writing but at least make it consistent

[@averyhazen8466]

"not to make you feel old". It's fine. I already feel old lol.

[@Sishpoo]

I guess that a main factor for enjoying the movie is your expectations going in. When I watched the premiere in my country I didn’t expect much because being sidelined is canonical for the 02 cast and that’s kinda what happened anyway, but I liked Lui’s story and how the 02 cast interacted with him and each other and once you realize where the story was going, it’s easier to enjoy it for what it was trying to do

[@FrostDJakki3529]

Different timeline could explain the ending of The Original Adventure 2 Series. Also digivices disappearing could explain how Tamers got new devices or Frontier got theirs and why the digital world is different in those series. Just a thought because there was that one movie where all main leader characters from each series showed up. The digital world is constantly resetting after each catastrophe😂😂

[@PikachuGamerSMT]

The third movie better end with Takato watching it as an adult

[@iamlordapollo]

Just to bring it to your attention, we already got Digimon Adventure 3 . That's what tri means. And if you translate the titles to kizuna and new beginning they have cheeky references to the numbers 4 and 5 baked into the wording. I'm on board with your avengers style movie idea, it would just have to be 6 not 3

According to it's Wikipedia page, the 02 film is stated as being a "finale to the 02 adventure crew", but that doesn't really make much sense considering the plot holes they've now left lying there. They did try to pitch a Tamers film a few years back, but that got shot down, so if that's not coming, then what is?.

[@gootchimus]

A thought just occurred to me. Joe is the oldest of the og adventure crew, how'd he keep gomemon?

[@nicholase82]

I really haven't watched these sequels. But how does this origin story fit in with the original Digidestin from Tri films?

[@Oostyz]

Digivice kinda is required tho, does blud not remember how much they carried in og adventure? Saved both worlds and helped with the black gears that could always come back

[@azurebluegames]

The vanishing OG digivices will be replaced by the 2020 ver. digivices 😂 ...that or vital bracelets lol I feel like the newly hatched Ukkomon might fix things in time for 2027 ending. I would love a 3rd movie with everyone though,,

[@xcmet]

I'm confused. We saw in the digimon tri movie that the first digidestined had their own digivice, so how would ukkumon be the initiator of digivices if they had already pre-existed before Louie's wish. Its like the people writing this 02 beginning film didn't bother to research the history of this anime.

[@otter1712]

I can see them retconing everyone in the world getting a Digimon, but I wouldn’t mind if we got another Digimon movie. Maybe one that has a lot more focus on the 02 kids than this one did.

[@origialtych]

3rd Film does seem likely I mean even if we count Kizuna and the Beginning don't forget there is another movie too well special to Digimon Adventure Tri. if we count that too there is something that has silently been ignored for a while what happened to Drasil and Dark Gennai who were established to have been important antagonist after tri we got kizuna and now beginning but there was nothing about them following after those movies its possible if they want to tie everything up that Gennai and Drasil will get ahold of the lost digimon and that could be about the last movie potentially that ends with everyone getting them back

[@WonderWhy66]

A third movie with the triumphant return of Agumon and Gabumon! That would be chills... Return of the Kings!

Hopefully with the digimon devices gone, Tai and Matt's digimon will come back.

[@mtndew2013hg]

So Lui says he was the first digidestined in the movie does he mean the first one with a digivice because they mention the events of tri but daigo and maki were digidestined but I don’t think we saw them with digivices

[@sairen5121]

The funny thing that the third Digimon series Tamers which is the last official cannon series to share the Adventure and 02 universe is how the original concept of Digimon comes to existence, the digital data that floods through the internet is picked up into the Digital world to conceptualize digimons into creation, which mean I think in the end Digimons will keep being there as long children's imagination for a partner remains, also Digivice might stay but evolve as well to fit the children's imagination of how it changes over time, bonding evolutions will be a norm by the tim Tamers come in. Takato,Henry and Rika are not born yet during 01 and 02 story line,and will most likely be born when the 01 and 02 kids will be around in their 30's or 40's so unfortunately they can't be included unless there is some easter egg where one of the Tamers is somewhat related to the 01 and 02 Digi destined, my bet will be Henry could either be related to Joe from 01 or Ken from 02.

Honestly I want the 02 ending to be canon and if there is a continuation to this story and kizuna, I wish it to be just a complete full story, My opinion there is some to exploit better.

i wonder if Digivices will start working like Ghost Game, because remember that in Ghost Game the Digivices were made by the father, at least i assume so, anyways in Ghost Game their Digimon were always there just not visible until they used the Digivice, so now instead of using the Digivice as the bond it will just be a tool to help in adventures now
