Finale Project for Digimon Adventure 25th Anniversary has been announced - DIGIMON ADVENTURE BEYOND.

A new PV set to the song Brave Heart developed by Yumeta Company (Studio for Kizuna, 02TB, new Adventure PV) featuring Taichi and friends as adults will be released at Digimon Con in March 2025.

Adventure and 02 director Hiroyuki Kakudo will return as the in charge for this new animation with Rie Nishimura (Kizuna/02TB) in charge of the of character designs.

Taichi and Yamato’s designs drawn by Kakudo and a poster featuring a scene from the PV were revealed at NYCC.

He also left the following comment:

I wanted to thank you all a little for your support, so I have decided to make this video. It has been a while since I have worked on storyboards for Taichi and his friends.

It won't be very long, but you will see Agumon and their team working together a little differently than before.

I think it will be especially pleasing to all of you who have always believed that you have a partner Digimon as well.

[seventeenlovesthree]

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, I HAVE THOUGHTS ON THIS. They're still rather scrambled, so bear with me while I'm trying to get them in order. So, what do we have? Let's summarize first:

In late March of 2025, we will get another PV (Promotional Video), more specifically, another music video. In contrast to the "Butterfly" PV we got on August 1st 2024, featuring newly animated/interpreted scenes from the OG Adventure anime, this one will play to "Brave Heart" and will show what'll happen between "now" (presumably after the events of Kizuna/The Beginning) and the infamous epilogue of 2028. It'll be produced by Hiroyuki Kakudou (!), who also drew the poster depicted above. It'll be animated by Yumeta Company, which was already responsible for Kizuna, The Beginning and the previous PV - and the character designs of Taichi and Yamato we've been shown were made by Rie Nishimura, chief animation director of The Beginning.

It will depict all the characters as adults, and "you will see Agumon (!!!) and their team working together a little differently than before. I think it will be especially pleasing to all of you who have always believed that you have a partner Digimon as well".

OH BOY, WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN??? Beware of some rambles under the cut:

Seeing how Kakudou had just recently commented on Taiorato in a somewhat official interview, you can say that I am genuinely surprised to see him return to such a project. A project that, dare I say it, feels like it could potentially be the final chapter, the definite closure to the Adventure timeline...? It is meant to finally summarize what'll happen until we get to the epilogue. Which is interesting if you consider that Tri and the previous two movies all told somewhat separate stories revolving around "outside characters" (Meiko, Menoa and Rui) without really breaking through the status quo. Granted, we had a few very... Mixed messages in between, questioning the reasoning behind, the foundation of partnerships, dealing with separation, isolation and sacrifices for various side and main characters alike. There was a lot of heartbreak, but Digimon wouldn't be Digimon if there wasn't also always room left for a hopeful note.

And seeing how Kakudou, who had been mostly absent from the previous projects, seems to tackle this "in between" period is very interesting to say the least. There are so many loose threads to tie up that one probably cannot fit all of them in one music video. Nevertheless, this may be his final say in how he wants to see the timeline "end" for his characters. We can already assume that the fighting scene depicted above implies the FINAL return of Agumon and Gabumon, giving closure to Kizuna's ending... But there are still so many other questions unsolved (including Sora's and Piyomon's return to the group as well).

Granted it's always possible that they might use this as a stepping stone to a new series and, really... I wouldn't be opposed to that at all, because these character designs are probably among the best we have gotten in years. You may know that I have my love/dislike relationship with the Kizuna designs and The Beginning had improved on it slightly (Hikari was still the biggest win of the century in my book), but still felt like there was room for growth...

But this? This looks promising as heck and it absolutely has evolved/changed from what we've gotten before. And it's also pretty curious, leaving room for speculation.

Remember how Kizuna basically framed Yamato to be mostly prim and proper with his neatly cut "old" haircut, the hipster glasses, stylish biker jacket, green shirt, while pants and his motorcycle? He was obviously still very distinctly Yamato, especially when you put him next to Taichi and Takeru, but he was very... Well, neat, prim and proper. We know both him and Taichi have been on their way of reconnecting with their true selves, passions and goals post Kizuna, so... Having Kakudou decide on giving Yamato his 02!haircut back is HUGE. And has two potential implications:

02's intention had always been to show a side of Yamato that was more chill. Granted, he still had his emotional outbursts and strong opinions, but he was allowed to be goofy, silly and live for his music. He may never be a 100% people-y person (and never really fancied the fan attention either) and that is perfectly fine, because... Then he wouldn't be Yamato. But he still enjoyed playing his harmonica, playing bass, singing in his band. Personally, I always found that change a bit drastic, but boy needed to figure himself out, grow his hair out and give his emotions an outlet. Having him return to such a state visually is simply... Interesting. Especially because most recent fandom depictions (mostly on the Jyoumato side) have depicted him in his "rockstar aesthetic" as well, INCLUDING the piercing (!). It may just be a temporary state, but it still implies that something in him has changed, bringing him back on track, slowly but steadily.

What does this mean from a production point of view? My personal guess would be - and I could be completely wrong here, so take this with a grain of salt -, that Kakudou wants to put his foot down. Yamato was among those characters who lived through various hairstyle changes in recent years (to the point of returning to his signature hair in Kizuna, probably for nostalgia/promotion reasons if Koushirou's hairstyle change back to his Adventure hair gives you any clue). 02!Yamato is Kakudou's Yamato. This is going to be HIS vision and thus, we're likely to see a LOT of things he would have liked to portray in the previous iterations as well. Whether or not that means he will adjust the FINAL outcome of the epilogue, changing singular aspects about it or not, remains to be seen... Because we know that Yamato's final hair did not look like it does in the concept art, so he may go through more changes after reuniting with Gabumon. We'll see.

When it comes to Taichi, I do not have a lot to add here. If you've read all my analysis posts before, you know how much I hope for my boy to find happiness again, to finally find his path, reunite with his partner... Seeing him wear wide clothes as he does in the poster feels very reminiscent of his "young" self again, so I am curious to see where we're headed with him. Until then... Excuse me while I keep swooning over his concept art (and get absolutely giddy just thinking about how the others may look like!!!), I am absolutely in AWE of how gorgeous he looks there. I cannot wait to see his signature smile again in this art style...

I know, no matter what we'll get, not all answers will be answered. There will still be controversies, there will still be fandom wars (probably). Kakudou wants us to get that final note, that future where everyone will end up with a Digimon partner (despite all the hardships - and everything we went through with the previous three bigger projects in this timeline). Not everybody will be happy with what we'll get.

But I'm still looking forward to it.

Edit: It's also possible that Kakudou will just completely ignore everything that happened post 02 and just go straight from there. We will have to see.

The differences between Kizuna and 02TB styles

Yes, you read it right: There are subtle style differences between Kizuna and 02TB. I'll talk about them in this post.

02TB and Kizuna might share most of their staff (I didn't see a list of the staff for 02TB so far, correct me if I'm wrong please) and both had been animated by the same animation studio, Yumeta Company.

Although the art style is still the same, what changes is that 02TB adds a lighting effect to the characters..

you see it immediately when you place Daisuke's artwork from Kizuna next to his artwork from 02TB. Kizuna's style is a solid color with shading and subtle light effects (on hair, in this case) -- But 02TB has not only solid colors + shading but also lighting effects! And the hair gets also lighting effects alongside the subtle highlights from Kizuna style.

Both Kizuna and 02TB have different light and shadow effects depending on the environment in which the scenes take place, and this is where you can see the differences between the two when you put them side by side.

I'M GOING TO PICK SCENES OR FRAMES FROM BOTH MOVIES WITHOUT GIVING AWAY ANY MAJOR SPOILERS, IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BOTH YET.

Starting with this scene. Notice how in Kizuna the lighting is only on the boys' hair and on Daisuke's sunglasses, while in Kizuna there's a lighting effect on all their bodies + the hair has the subtle Kizuna-esque highlight in everyone's hair.

Kizuna and 02TB have sunset scenes, which is my next pic. Note how the lighting in Kizuna is different from 02TB:

In which Kizuna lacks the "lighting effect" and works more with ambient light, while 02TB keeps the lighting effects under different ambient light.

Said effect is still present in dark rooms/ambient, unlike in Kizuna:

Yes, Taichi's, Agumon's and Gennai's "light effect" here is their solid color. Meanwhile with Rui... His hair presents lighting effects.

The only place to not have the lighting effect on everything on a character in 02TB is the Imperialdramon Space scenes, but even there there's a difference from Kizuna's OWG-esque scene:

Yes, the hair and the shades. Also the eyes. I love that scene so much, sorry. And again, Kizuna does not show lighting effects on the characters.

BUT! Kizuna does have a scene where it has lighting effects on the characters a la 02TB style. For example, the Neverland scene:

I love both movies and their artistic takes~ By the way, I think it's funny that both movies seem to invoke what happened with Adv'99 and 02, in which their styles are also not the same if you look closely!

@shihalyfie had written a little post about it, and I added some details from my artist POV. So if you're curious, I highly recommend reading both posts.

See ya (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

Very few interesting things came out of the Digimon live stream today (they need to learn how to use their twitter for announcements properly and not waste everyone's time like this) but one thing we can keep an eye out for is the plan for Odaiba Memorial Day this year.

From 9th August, 2 Digimon Movies will be played in Japanese theaters as a double feature, Digimon Adventure Our War Game and a 02 Movie (Idk the name, the one with Wallace). But for the occasion of Odaiba Memorial Day, they will do a special screening of this double feature in Odaiba on 1st August, where fans can gather and enjoy the experience together. Information has not been announced in detail but "guests" are set to appear at this event, and now for the fun bit, they will attempt to stream this event online so global fans can also be a part of this celebration!

For now we have this teaser poster:

And the explanation on Digimon Partners.

Next interesting piece of info is that the new animation tribute to Digimon Adventure's 25th Anniversary scheduled to come out on 1st August is revealed to be produced by Yumeta Company, the same people behind Last Evolution Kizuna and 02 The Beginning, so we can definitely look forward to the newly animated scenes!

[thereasonsimbroke]

The #Digimon Partners X account announced on Friday that the 25th anniversary of the Digimon Adventure #Anime will conclude with a new video titled "Digimon Adventure -Beyond—" set to debut at #DigimonCon 2025 in late March.

This video will continue the story from Digimon Adventure 02 while offering a fresh perspective on Tai and his friends as adults. It will be directed by Hiroyuki Kakudō, feature character designs by Rie Nishimura, and be animated by Yumeta Company.

The video will also include the iconic song "Brave Heart" by Ayumi Miyazaki. In August, YouTube released a separate anniversary video and new comics and manga on the Digimon Web platform.

THIS JUST IN: Quiche Ikisatashi receives Life Sentence by raping a female High School student in Japan [EXCLUSIVE]

TOKYO, JAPAN -- In late-May 2023, a person named Quiche Ikisatashi, who is suspected to be a Cyniclon individual was involved in a disturbing incident during a new, deleted reboot scene for the "Tokyo Mew Mew New" anime.

(Screengrab via TV Tokyo for TXN News)

This incident occurred at a local high school in Tokyo Prefecture, where Quiche committed acts of hostage-taking and s*xual assault against a 16 y/o student named Ichigo Momomiya.

Quiche held Ichigo captive on a rooftop, using a Chimera Animas' Spider to restrain her and engaged in unlawful sexual activity driven by jealousy due to an affair between him and Ichigo's boyfriend, Aoyama Masaya.

His previous cases from 2022, Quiche had a history of criminal behavior including public abuse, stalking, voyeurism, s*xual assault, exploitation, harassment and attempted r*pe or murderer, all of which are counted as severe offenses under the Japanese law according to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (TMPD).

As reported exclusively by TXN News via JOTX-TV 7's TV Tokyo, Quiche made a disturbing announcement that his 'lord' from another planet would soon awaken, claiming that the Earth now belonged to aliens like his own individual.

(IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: We blur out a l*wd activity and r*pe content in the bottom of a last deleted photo as according to the MTRCB for news readers. Quiche complete deserves a total rapist person in the another world, excluding Isekai.)

During this incident, Ichigo bravely resisted Quiche's advances, leading to a violent altercation where he attempted to strangle her. Eventually, Quiche stripped Ichigo naked against her will to take all clothes off and subjected her to forced sexual activity of r*pe, sexual assault and consistently impregnated in public on the rooftop wall above the said building, which violated its Japanese laws and left the world unable to prevent this tragedy.

The Commission on Population of Japan (CPJ), the United Nations (UN), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (TMPD) are collaborating closely to stop all war crimes across Japan and apprehend Quiche, despite the arrival from another planet to be taken all over.

Quiche is now facing various charges including stalking, hostage-taking & r*pe, and has been brought before the Japanese court. Furthermore, his magical powers have been immediately revoked. Although Ichigo's traumatizing experience disrupted private lovemaking moments unexpectedly, she regained consciousness by the end of the day (Japan local time).

In response to this heinous act, Japanese authorities have implemented extra pre-cautionary measures in hot pursuit against Quiche. He has been sentenced to life imprisonment in a maximum-security cell, where he will be unable to use his magical powers.

The Digimon community is already buzzing with excitement on social media, as #DigimonAdventure02Film trends worldwide. Fans are eager to see how the new film will tie into the legacy of the original series and its impact on future Digimon projects. "Digimon holds a special place in the hearts of millions, and this film is a tribute to that connection," said Producer Yumiko Yamanaka. "We hope the audience will enjoy this adventure as much as we enjoyed creating it."      The story of the film is located in 2012, 10 years after the events of the series and after Digimon Adventure Tri as well as Last Evolution Kizuna.

The show aired from April 2000 to March 2001 in Japan, and then it aired from August 2000 to May 2001 in the United States. Discotek announced at Otakon on Saturday that it will release the anime in English and then in Japanese. The Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna sequel film told "the last adventure of Tai and Agumon." The film opened in Japan in February 2020 and then got a release outside Japan in 2020-2021.
