In 2012, a decade has passed since the Digital World adventure. Daisuke Motomiya is now twenty and, along with the other DigiDestined, they are gradually undergoing changes in their appearance and lifestyle. One day, a massive Digitama unexpectedly appears in the sky above Tokyo Tower. Daisuke and the group come across a mysterious young man named Lui Ohwada, who reveals himself to be the world's first DigiDestined.
Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning was initially released in Japan in early October of 2023. This film serves as a direct follow-up to the 2020 reboot movie, Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna, and a more distanced sequel to the original Digimon Adventure 02 anime series.
