Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna will bring fans of the original Digimon series full circle—it lets them take a look at what the Digidestined are up to as they prepare for the next stage of their lives.
In this exclusive clip provided to Newsweek, the mysterious new character Menoa delivers some startling bad news to Matt, Tai and Izzy.
She explains that Digimon draw their power from their partners and the reason Digidestined are children is because they are “full of potential.” Once a Digidestined grows older, the power and bond between Digimon and their partners dwindles until it breaks.
Here’s the official synopsis of the upcoming film:
HOW TO WATCH DIGIMON ADVENTURE: LAST EVOLUTION KIZUNA
As a countdown timer activates on the Digivice, they realize that the more they fight with their partner Digimon, the faster their bond breaks. Will they fight for others and lose their partner? The time to choose and decide is approaching fast. There is a short time before “chosen children” will become adults. This is the last adventure of Tai and Agumon.
