“Digimon Adventure LAST EVOLUTION: Kizuna” movie poster and a new trailer have been revealed. Scheduled to premiere on Feb. 21, 2020, the movie celebrates the 20th anniversary of the series, showing Kamiya Taichi and Agumon's last adventure.
The story takes place in 2010 where Taichi has grown up and is now a college student; Yamato (Matt) and the other chosen children are also heading their own way to adulthood. Mysterious incidents surrounding the chosen children start happening which was caused by an unknown digimon “Eosmon”. Digimon researcher Menoa, voiced by Matsuoka Mayu, appears revealing to them the shocking truth that “the Digimon partners of the chosen children disappear as they grow up into adults.”
To the sound of the timeless music “Butter-Fly” from Wada Koji, the movie outlines a difficult choice that Taichi and Yamato will have to make; in order to rescue their comrade, they must fight but a reckless battle will inevitably shorten the little time they have together. How will the protagonists deal with the challenge ahead and what kind of “Final Evolution” will they arrived at?
The movie poster displays the chosen children alongside their Digimon partners, plus Menoa and Imura on Odaiba's coast, where the story will take place.
In the poster, Taichi and others smiles almost as if they was saying one last goodbye to the fans who have been supporting the franchise for 20 years. A befitting poster for a series finale.

When I watched 'Otoppe' on TV when I was six years old, I immediately became a fan of the songs, and sang 'Uki-Uki Otoppe' many times. I learned that different things had different sounds, and I looked for Otoppe in my house using an app. I was thinking what kind of sound each thing makes, and surprised to listen to some of them for the first time.

"Komondomon" is a new digimon that was specially created for "Digimon Adventure:".

That gentle digimon will be handled by Yokoyama Daisuke also known as "Brother Daisuke", and this will be his first regular role.

Yokoyama Daisuke
--How did you felt while receiving the offer for the role of Komondomon?
It was "Eh!?". As digimon is a long-lasting series, there are a lot of voice actors, who had been involved for a long time, so I wondered will it be fine for me to jump in. Of course, regardless of the role, is I was given an offer, I will try my best to do it. But I was told "The line is Wahoon only", which make me thought "What is Wahoon?" (haha)
--What is your impression of Digimon in the first place?
The first game has left a deep impression in me and it seem that it had gradually evolved since then. The final evolution of the digimon is so cool! As it closely resembles a human.
-- I think that Komondomon will be popular as well. Since children are a fan of transportation.
It would make me happy if it became popular. Something like "Today's Wahoon has arrived!". First, I need to try my best as a member of Digimon series. So that the audience, as well as the cast, will have the thought of "I'm glad that Komondomon is here". So, in order to achieve that, I will need to put more affectionate to the character known as Komondomon.
--Please tell us about your hopes.
Komondomon might be like an intermezzo that connects the scenes together but I will try to make the character grows so that the audience will say "Komondomon has appeared again!" and "Ohh that was a good Wahoon!". I will put my effort to be the most healing Wahoon.
