LastEvo is right in the corner (or is it already here in the other side of the world? :3c) and got a 3 am burst but not sure if I'll color it in time but maybe someday~
Yes, Makinishi are worried (?) and to be clear, I haven't checked spoilers so I don't know anything (except that ugly evos of Agumon and Gabumon) so please don't tell me if these two die, thanks.
DIGIMON ADVENTURE: LAST EVOLUTION KIZUNA
NEW (SUPPORTING) CHARACTERS
Source: this tweet and this tweet + official website ( from official twitters )
NOTE: Since making this post, Kizuna has since been released!!
Various details were further clarified in the film,
so please feel free to watch it & compare my earlier analysis+Thoughts!
Names (possible): Menoa Bellucci (woman; left); Kyotaro Imura (right)
Kyotaro Imura (first name Kyotaro)
[ Bellucci surname is my assumption for now = perhaps she’s from Spain too
( since Miyako canonically now studies/visits there ?? ) [ or Italian ?? ? ]
It also seems the director of the movie feels Menoa particularly was
“ created [particularly/exactly] for this movie ”
i.e. she appears to fit right in with this movie or may have an important role
KYOTARO is also MENOA’s assistant, not the other way around (!!) (?)
They seem to want her to “move the hearts of the protagonists” (????)
( as in emotionally “move” them )
According to this tweet,
‘ Menoa and Imura reveal to Taichi the serious secrets related to Digimon...! ‘
[ Google Translate summarized ]
EDIT: HD version from the tweets as well!:
( ^ The BUTTERFLY clip in Menoa’s hair is a nice touch !! )
[ “ Butter-Fly ” is the Adventure opening song, get it !?..... ]
EDIT #2 via Toei official English twitter:
“ Talented Japanese Actress Mayu Matsuoka & Actor Daisuke Ono joins the cast of the new film Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna as new characters, Menoa Bellucci: a scientist conducting Digimon research & Kyotaro Imura: Menoa's assistant! The film opens in Japan on 2.21.20! ”
( ^ * bolding/italics mine for emphasis! )
Honestly, I don’t expect much of anything from the new characters. Probably because I’m not invested in who they are. I don’t care about them.
Menoa, I assume, will be the larger of the two, since Kyotaro is her assistant. I expect her to be interesting but not play too large of a role. I hope they’ve realized that people want more of the main not-so-kids-anymore than of newbies.
I’m definitely intrigued to learn more about them, but I guess my only real expectation is that they (Menoa) don’t hog the spotlight. Which I doubt will be a problem. The very not gay Taiyama will be doing that all on their own.
