Digimon Adventure’sNext Film Reunites Its Most Underrated DigiDestined

Digimonisn’t quite the Jagannatha it was back when us 90s kidskin were watching it early in the morning before school , but Toei has been gradually free more of it over the years . For anime lover , there was arebootof the original Digimon Adventure time of year that premiered last yr and whoseEnglish dubis currently in production . In plus to that anime , though , Toei also released two films that served as sequels to the original Adventure series , and now a new pic is on the horizon to bind up its second season .

The next film in the Adventure serial was officially titled as Digimon Adventure 02 The Beginning at DigiFes 2022 . Like how the first two films returned to the original DigiDestined kids as adults and closed out their tarradiddle , The Beginning is intended to serve as a capper to the show ’s second time of year . Yumeta Company , who worked on 2020 ’s Adventure film , Last Evolution — Kizuna , is developing the film alongside Toei .

Set in February 2012 not long after the effect of Kizuna , the film brings back the second generation of DigiDestined that made up season two . While that group was around for some of Kizuna , they ’ve mystify this motion picture all to themselves so fan of that particular time of year can see how thing worked out for this finical group of Heron . The eccentric nontextual matter above shows the now 20 - twelvemonth - old members of the 2d generation of DigiDestined . Check out Daisuke / Davis ( Fukujuro Katayama ) , Ken ( Arthur Lounsbery ) , Yolei ( Ayaka Asai ) , Cody ( Yoshitaka Yamaya ) , Kari ( Mao Ichimichi ) , and TK ( Junya Enoki ) , consummate with their Digimon . A six - minute clip was also demonstrate at the case , where the DigiDestined meet the film ’s young character , Rui Ōwada ( Megumi Ogata ) , who they save from devolve off Tokyo Tower .

Ōwada calls himself “ the first in the humankind to become a DigiDestined , ” and while he ’s got a Digivice on hand , albeit one cracked to hell , he ’s noticeably lacking a mate by his side . The 2nd season introduced a range of DigiDestined guest stars for the 02 cast to drop time with , but one who claims to predate Tai and the others is sure as shooting an interesting sweetener for this film . Also play into the plot is a new Digimon called Okkomon ( Rie Kugimiya ) , who look kind of cute , but this being Digimon , looking precious is just a gateway to becoming something more monstrous after a Digivolution or two . Those two , you could see below , and who knows , perchance they ’ll wind up being partners by the film ’s end .

As previously stated , Digimon is n’t quite the heavy batter as it was back in the day , but it ’s nice to see that there ’s still medium coming out for it . As someone who became more committed to this batch of Adventure kids grow up , it ’ll be exciting to see how their stories shut . And hopefully , Toei ’s provision on giving the same discourse to the Tamers and Frontier seasons when time allows it .
