What happens
Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution – Kizuna (Japanese: デジモンアドベンチャー Last Evolution 絆, Hepburn: Dejimon Adobenchā Rasuto Eboryūshon Kizuna) is a 2020 Japanese animated adventure film directed by Tomohisa Taguchi and written by Akatsuki Yamatoya based on the Digimon franchise by Akiyoshi Hongo. Produced by Toei Animation with animation by Yumeta Company and distributed by Toei Company, Last Evolution – Kizuna is set in the same continuity of the first two Digimon television anime series, and serves as a series finale of the original Digimon Adventure story. Last Evolution – Kizuna was released in Japan on February 21, 2020. The feature film is a commercial success, grossing more than 24 million dollars worldwide. Due to its exploitation in limited releases in most countries of the world, and the total absence of a theatrical release in the United States, the vast majority of these revenue respectively comes from China (more than US$19 million), Japan and Hong Kong. A solid business amid the COVID-19 pandemic-related reopening process in various parts of Asia. Originally scheduled to have a limited release in the U.S. by Fathom Events, the event was cancelled due to the pandemic and its impact on cinemas; the film was released in the U.S. on home media formats on October 6, 2020. Successful in the US, it ranked third in domestic sales with over 30,000 Blu-ray copies sold in one week (95% market share). Although Last Evolution Kizuna received little attention from film critics, it drew extremely positive reviews from the pop culture and anime media in North America, which viewed the film as a satisfactory conclusion to the Adventure arc and praised the story, the animation, the English voice acting, and the bittersweet execution of the film's themes. In Europe, experts were more severe, especially with regard to its loaded dialogues and a particular stylistic approach, susceptible to lose a large audience. A sequel titled Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning, which serves as the series finale of the Digimon Adventure 02 story, was released in Japanese theaters on October 27, 2023.
