Quick thoughts on the "January 5th 2025" announcement...

"Taichi, see you again."

Now, this is a quote we have heard in several contexts before. Taichi and Agumon were - similarly to the majority of the older Chosen Children - separated from each other quite a few times after all. Between 1999 and 2002, again between 2003 and 2005... And finally in 2010, with their current status being unknown... So what does that announcement mean?

Will we get something 02 related? Since this scene above literally functions as a bridge between the events of 1999 and 2002... A re-animation/a remake? Something that'd make The Beginning fit into the timeline better, mayhaps? Personally, I don't think that'd be the best/most likely choice for a direction to go into for the franchise (especially since Kizuna and The Beginning did tell us to finally move forward and not back again), but it IS a possibility to consider. I believe there are enough iterations of the Adventure story (anime, manhua, PSP game, novel), and every version has its own little spin on the universe, but who knows.

The screenshot chosen for the announcement were Oikawa's butterflies - which appeared right at the end of 02, leading right into the epilogue, 25 years in the future... Does that mean we will get something (pre) epilogue-related? Something to bridge the time between Kizuna (2010) and said epilogue (2028)? Will Taichi and Agumon actually see each other again for good?

Since January 5th is a Sunday - and the anime episodes for Digimon usually aired on Sundays -, it does seem like it could be some sort of animation. An anime, a special/OVA/movie, a mini-series... But Toei has thrown us for a loop before. The Beginning was supposed to be a mini-series too after all... So it may also turn out to be something completely different, a manga, an audio drama...
