New Trailer for “Digimon Adventure: The Last Evolution Kizuna” Movie Features 02 DigiDestined

The upcoming Digimon Adventure: The Last Evolution Kizuna film is set to become more nostalgic! A new trailer revealed for the film has just revealed that the 02 DigiDestined will be making an appearance as well. Check out the trailer here!

In the trailer, we see the adult versions of the 02 DigiDestined. The characters and their partner Digimon are still voiced by the same voice actors who played them in 2000. Below are the DigiDestined’s names (both the Japanese and Western names) and their Digimons, as well as the seiyuus that voiced them:

·         Fukujuro Katayama as Daisuke Motomiya/Davis

·         Junko Noda as V-Mon

·         Arthur Lounsbery as Ken Ichijoji

·         Naozumi Takahashi as Wormmon

·         Ayaka Asai as Miyako Inoue/Yolei

·         Kouichi Toochika as Hawkmon

·         Yoshitaka Yamaya as Iori Hida/Cody

·         Megumi Urawa as Armadimon

It was previously revealed that the movie will follow the original DigiDestined at age 22, their ages in line with the franchise’s 20^th anniversary (Digimon was created in 1997, with the anime series launched two years later).

A teaser poster was previously released for the film, which indicates its February 21, 2020 premiere in Japan. The premiere date is just a month before the 20^th anniversary of the original series’ finale episode.

The film will be directed by Tomohisa Taguchi (Kino’s Journey – the Beautiful World -), with the script to be penned by Akatsuki Yamatoya (Gintama). Yamatoya wrote the scripts for Digimon Adventure and for later seasons as well. Series creator Hiromi Seki returns as supervisor of the film. Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru and Kenji Watanabe are also returning as the film’s original character and monster designers, respectfully. The film will be produced by Toei Animation.

Launched in 1997, Digimon was conceived by Bandai, Toei Animation and Wiz to capitalize on the Tamagotchi craze. An anime series was launched in 1999 about a group of children called the DigiDestined who were sent to the Digimon world to fight evil creatures. The franchise has since spawned several series and films.
