Taking place in February 2012, and set after the events of the Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna film, we follow the primary cast of the Digimon 02 anime who are now in their 20s. We also meet Rui Owada (voiced by Neon Genesis Evangelion's Megumi Ogata), a mysterious youth who descended from Tokyo Tower and says, "I was the first in the world to become a DigiDestined."
This also applies with their Digimon partners as Junko Noda, Naozumi Takahashi, Kouichi Toochika, Megumi Urawa, Miwa Matsumoto, and Yuka Tokumitsu will also reprise their roles as V-Mon, Wormmon, Hawkmon, Armadimon, Patamon, and Tailmon respectively. Lastly, joining the film's cast is Rie Kugimiya (Fullmetal Alchemist) as Ukkomon, a Digimon important to the plot that looks like a slippery marine creature.
The staff from Last Evolution Kizuna will return to work on this film, most notably, director Tomohisa Taguchi (Twin Star Exorcists) and writer Akatsuki Yamatoya (Digimon Adventure). Toei Animation and Yumeta Company will also return to animate the film. Digimon Adventure 02 THE BEGINNING is set to premiere this October 27th in Japan.
