Film Synopsis
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 partner Digimon. An
unprecedented phenomenon occurs and the DigiDestined discovers that
when you grow up, your relationship with your partner Digimon will
come closer to an end. As a countdown timer activates on the
Digivice, they realize that the more you fight with their Partner
Digimon, the faster their bond breaks. Will you fight for others
and lose your partner? The time to choose and decide is approaching
fast. There is a short time before "chosen children" will become
adults. This is the last adventure of Tai and Agumon.
