Tai is now a university student, living alone, working hard at school, and working every day, but with his future still undecided. Meanwhile, Matt and others continue to work on Digimon incidents and activities that help people with their partner Digimon. When an unprecedented phenomenon occurs, the DigiDestined discover that when they grow up, their relationship with their partner Digimon will come closer to an end.
In Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “digital companion world”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing identity, friendship, mortality, growth, technology.
Films fighting at the same level of reality, about the same things.
The same preoccupations examined at another scale — one mind versus a nation.
Other films that change a standing rule of their world — ranked first by those bending it at the same rung.
