But hoping for that seems more like wishful thinking. Considering the fact that key-visuals are, more often than not, a good indication of the kind of art-style the production studio is going to adapt for the anime in question. :p

True, true. That's one aspect where the key visual sorely lacks, I agree. I hope they don't screw them up, though.

Exactly! I wouldn't ever have guessed it was digimon either had I not been made aware of it beforehand, haha.

I really like the subdued style a lot. I find so many series of my teenage years are getting remade. I was always a fan of 02 though and i hope we are getting to see a sizable amount of them.(i only goit into 1 after I watched 02, so it is natural to be my fave. Wasnt much into the later versions but the best out of the later is 4 (with the Ken expy this time as twins)
That video was actually really interesting (haha I never knew he retired), but I would really love it if he did come back to play Tai. I'd love to watch it with him since I watched dubbed Digimon ever since I was a kid.

Digimon would no doubt get shown online one way or another. The series is already popular and most likely going to get dubbed anyway.

I'm wondering if Kari will look as Cute as before in this Art style !
Kari was pretty Cute in previous series ! She was defiantly the cutest girl in Adventure series while Mimi was the second cutest.
I was expecting Art style similar to ''Devil Survivor The Animation'' since the new Digimon game follow similar art style. I'm imagining Davis's face When he see TK with Seraphimon and Kari with Ophanimon !!! I think , it would be better if he moved to another city .
Because if he appear in Tri series then he will be a 100% comic relief .

To be fair, just because a lot of people pointed him out as to be a comic relief character in 02, doesn't really mean that he's going to be a full on"100%" comic relief character in DigiTri.
Sure he won't be a main character in this series and possibly (along with the 02 cast excluding Kari and T.K) will probably receive a similar treatment to how the original cast of Tai and the others did during 02, but he did offer a lot more than just a comic relief character in 02.
Davis himself did a lot of growing within the whole of season 2, somewhat maturing more and really fitting in the image of a true leader. Knowing that he was on 11 at the time of 02, he's still growing and maturing and still will be in Tri as a junior high student (even as a background character). Tai matured more in between 01 in elementary and 02 in junior high so no doubt Davis will too.
I personally would hate it if he moved away to another city. Sure they did it with Mimi, but there was a lot that he did in 02 (that wasn't just for comic relief) and a lot that he could still offer in Tri even though he isn't a main character anymore. Although a lot of people say that T.K should have been the leader of their generation of digidestined, he was and still is one the leaders and he did whole lot more than just to be the comic relief.

Well, I'm hoping it won't be some form of Myotismon. In fact, if they never mention his name I'd be happy (though they're likely to in passing).
There's several old plot threads that got abandoned they could use (Daemon, or Dragomon, or whatever happened to Devimon after Kimeramon was destroyed), or they could ignore those and create new ones.

Yes definitely! I loved the S2 cast just as much as the original cast did. Ken and Daisuke were my favourites back when S2 came out and they are still part of the digidestined team!

Haha I actually never noticed Joe.
Made me think what Digimon Tri going to be like, since S1 was focused on the digital world and S2 they'd go back and forth from the digital world. Unless we never saw Iori or Jou at their respective schools and they just visited/saw the others in the digital world - Not to mention, Jou would be busy in medical school.
In the newest issue of Shueisha’s V Jump magazine has a new article about the upcoming Digimon Adventure Tri., which has revealed the first new image of Agumon in the upcoming series, showcasing his new design.
Tai looks a lot better in that picture, but that could just be down to the angle. As for Agumon... he somehow looks more cutesy than he did before.

January 17th, 2015 4:25 AM
...what new design? He looks slightly thinner, and his head is slightly bigger. That's it. In some ways, I find that comforting though - the kids change, but the Digimon don't. Since they're packets of data, that'd make sense. The image of Tai looks a lot like the artwork from the movies now to my eyes...which works for me.

What may scare me the most are the new character's design. They look so strange and different comparing to their young selfs. Either way, I am so excited for this.

January 17th, 2015 5:51 AM
I don't know. Tai sorta looks like how he appeared in 02, imo, so I'm fine with that.
About the Augumon thing, though, what's sorta freaky is that that's the exact same pose from before; http://snag.gy/l6Op2.jpg
Side by side comparison, anyone? Aside from a few odd tweaks here and there, he's (thankfully) essentially the same Digimon Adventure Augumon of yesteryear. I was afraid in case they were gonna go with a more Data Squad-ish design. Glad to have my fears allayed anyway.

January 17th, 2015 11:32 AM
woah agumon, you er... okay? I remember your size to be a bit more consistent throughout your body... instead of the huge head, tiny everything else. And I guess the fingers are also pretty big... hope this isn't the final design.
I don't have any problems with Tai though.

I suppose he seems like he lost a few pounds, yes. I can live with it as long as the overall animation is great.

Finally, a Digimon!
I'm indifferent to Agumon. I was to his first incarnation and I am to his current. In this style, he does look slightly more... cutesy and polished up, which is something I'm not too fond of. But I prefer the duller coloring as that yellow looked obnoxious before. So either way, eh. I personally am more excited for when he starts Digivolving into Greymon. Really want to see all that.
And Tai? I do agree he looks like he did in the movies, so it doesn't bother me either.
The character designers are certainly different with the original movie having Akiyoshi Hongo, Katsuhiro Nakatsuru, Hisashi Nakayama and Masahiro Aizawa with Kazuto Nakazawa taking on the Revenge of Diaboromon movie. The new character designer for DigiTri is Atsuya Uki who did the designs for Tsuritama. The new digimon designs look incredibly similar to the design of Tsuritama and more similar to it that in comparison to the old movies.
I wonder if Tai and the others will remember the events of Hunters, but I have a slight feeling that the writers are gonna ignore the fact that Hunters even happened.
Heck, it might even be possible that all of the old characters who returned at the end of Hunters could've been super-advanced DigiMemories or something along those lines.

I hardly believe what happened on hunters can be considered canon for any of the Digimon spin-offs. They will just make as if it never happened (or not happened yet at least).

True... it WAS weird how Tai acted like he was good friends Davis/Daisuke even though that was his 01 incarnation. For all we know, everyone could've been made out of data (or they could've just been DigiMemories).
In fact, I'm pretty sure Toei only made Hunters for the sole purpose of stalling for Saint Seiya Omega, because Xros Wars explicitly ended at episode 54.
Skip Class
January 29th, 2015 2:42 AM
Yeah I highly doubt they would remember and will probably forget about the whole hunters arc.
There's already so much going for Tri itself in terms of bringing the original digidestined back, a whole new story to be developed and the development of the characters themselves. I think having any knowledge of what happened in Hunters would be somewhat out of sync (and will be buried) with the rest of what's going to happen. To how they ended up in the end of 02 and "how to face problems when humans and digimon come together and show the union between humans and digimon.". The introduction and cameos of original characters from the other seasons felt pretty forced and chucked in for all the old time fans.
One thing that's kinda popped up recently in my mind that I'd like to know more about and to somewhat be shown in is the digidestined and the events that happened prior to Adventure.
It was said that their were 5 original digidestined before the eight that came in Adventure. Somewhat been intrigued by the whole theory/conspiracy that Frontier was actually a prequel to Adventure and Adventure 02. Of course, it may not be true, but I would love to see something a little more on the original 5. - Although a series or movie or something on it's own would probably suit it more I guess?
Just going to chuck these things up here which I found quite interesting on tumblr:

Digimon Adventure tri. — what we know so far
Since the new Digimon Adventure series was announced in August 2014, the internet has been buzzing with announcements, rumors, theories, and semi-official information. Sometimes it becomes difficult to separate fact from fiction or distinguish between official information and fan speculation, especially for people who are coming back to the fandom. There’s a lot of misinformation going around the web, so I think some clarity is much needed at this point.
Here are the facts we know about the new Digimon series:
The series will begin in Spring 2015 (a specific date or month has not been confirmed yet).
The plot is ‘a new story’ - a continuation (not a reboot) of Digimon Adventure.
The main characters are 8 original chosen children from the first series, who will meet at the beginning of the story.
Yagami Taichi is a 17-year-old High School student.
The series’ name is デジモンアドベンチャーtri. / Digimon Adventure tri. (pronounced ‘torai' or 'try’).
Keitaro Montaga is the series director.
Yuuko Kakihara will handle the series composition.
Atsuya Uki is the character designer.
The series will be a TV anime.
'tri.' represents the number 3, and 3 is an important keyword in the series.
The story will take place 3 years after the previous adventure.
The story will be more oriented towards adult audiences, specifically the people who watched Digimon Adventure 15 years ago but also to new viewers.
A clue for the new series is hidden in the final story of Digimon Adventure 02.
Some of the words in the final monologue are a main theme of the new series: how to face problems when humans and digimon come together and show the union between humans and digimon.
Information that has not been revealed or confirmed yet:
The series premiere date (not even the month)
The series length and number of episodes
The timeslot and TV channel in which the series it will air
The cast
Episode names and screenwriters
The music (including a new composer, since Takanori Arisawa died in 2005)
An official synopsis
If the 02 protagonists will appear or not (already confirmed)
When the next eggs on the official website will hatch
What will be announced when the eggs do hatch
Reliable sources of information are usually:
digimon-adventure.net
Digimon 15th Anniversary official twitter account
magazine scans, including those from V-Jump
officially released merchandising, such as the Blu-Ray Box
Everything else should be taken with a huge pinch of salt.
Meanwhile, don’t forget to nade-nade so we get more official details! We’re almost half-way there!
SOURCE: [x] (All the sources for what's been said have been linked)
Also more in depth speculation/ theories of what could happen for Tri which was a nice read:
Spoiler:
Here are some of my thoughts on some of the things we still don’t know about Digimon Adventure tri. These are my personal theories and opinions, and there is nothing remotely official about any of this. It’s just fun to speculate.
1. The meaning behind “tri.”
Most likely, it’s short for triangle.
On the one hand, it’s a pun on the fact that it this the third series of Digimon Adventure. Similarly, 02 refers to the year in which the second series takes place — it is not an ordinal. Which is why it’s completely wrong to call the other series “01” or “03”. ETA: They probably also want to avoid any confusion with Tamers, which was known as “Digimon 3” in many markets.
On the other hand, it might be a clue about the plot. We’ve been told to pay attention to all the “threes” in the story. People have been speculating that we could be looking at some sort of “triple evolution” (like jogress evolution involving 3 characters), while others have brought up the idea that the series will focus on romantic triangles. Both theories create some interesting questions, but I feel that the former is much more likely.
2. Nade-nade
There are 2 batches of eggs left, which means we should get 2 sets of official announcements. Sora and Mimi’s eggs should hatch in late January / early February. The final egg is Koushirou’s, but we don’t know when it would be put up on the website; most likely, it will hatch much closer to the premiere date.
Lots of people are expecting some sort of preview or trailer next, but I’m doubtful. To start with, with each egg we seem to get increasingly important announcements. If they release a full trailer with the penultimate eggs, how are they going to top that later? Personally, I find it more likely that we are getting the remaining silhouettes (including the digimon partners) plus the cast list and/or the premiere date. The trailer is still a possibility, of course, although I’ve read that anime trailers are usually released around a month before the start of a series. (Maybe someone who is more knowledgable about Japan can confirm this.)
With the final egg, the nade-nade thing will probably end. At that point, we will hopefully get a proper official website that includes official character profiles.
3. Premiere date, TV Channel, and timeslot
Nothing has been announced so far. Digimon Adventure and 02’s former Fuji TV timeslot (Sundays, 9:00) is currently occupied by the final episodes of Dragonball Kai. We know tri will start in the Spring (so late April, at most), so in theory it could be replacing Dragonball Kai after it ends.
However, it’s still unclear if Dragonball Kai will even finish in time. We could very well see tri. going to a different timeslot and/or channel. It would be a pity, since Fuji TV and its building play a prominent part in the Adventure canon (for example, Hiroaki, Yamato and Takeru’s dad, works there).
4. Series length & Number of episodes
Considering that the previous series had 50+ episodes, and after all this hype, I admit that it would be disappointing if tri. was only 13 or 26 episodes. Still, and although no information has been released so far, we should all be prepared for the possibility of tri. being a single-arc short series. Honestly, it would not be surprised if it was conceived as a short 15th anniversary special rather than a full-blown, year-long epic like Adventure and 02. Either way, ideally tri becomes so successful that they’ll give us a fourth series afterwards.
5. Genre
In his recent interview, producer Shuhei Arai said that they want tri. to appeal to grown-up fans. This, along with the updated character designs, the staff’s résumé and the characters’s ages, has lead some people to think tri. will be more of a “Slice of Life” anime, focusing on aspects like school life, relationships, and romance.
However, considering that the main purpose of Digimon anime has always been to sell merchandising, the idea that they will push aside the action-adventure and “digital monsters” aspect of the series seems far-fetched. While tri. might want to appeal to more sophisticated audiences, including western fans (let’s not forget that anime for children is no longer as popular in the West as it was in the 90s) I doubt it will stop being a classic Digimon story. They want to cash in keep nostalgic adult fans, but they I don’t think they’ll alienate younger audiences completely.
6. The Cast
It seems very likely that most of the original cast will return. Over the years, the Adventure voice actors have reprised their roles in sporadic projects, such as the 2014 PSP game. Most recently, the Digimon Adventure Blu-ray Box (to be released on 03.03.2015) includes a brand new Drama CD that features the vast majority of the cast.
As it has been pointed out, the Drama CD has two notable absences: Toshiko Fujita (Taichi) and any of Takeru’s voice actors. This means that either Taichi and Takeru will not appear in that story (strange, considering that Augumon and Patamon will) or that both characters might be getting new voice actors. Of course, no one knows if or how this will translate in tri. Personally, I’d love to see 14-year-old Takeru being voiced by Hirata Hiroaki, who plays Narrator/adult Takeru (and also appears in the CD Drama). As for Taichi, the creators might have decided that it was time for him to have a new (male) voice, even though Fujita’s voice is very iconic. Time will tell.
7. The music
I’m sure everyone is expecting Kouji Wada, AiM, and Ayumi Miyazaki to sing a new Opening, Ending, and Insert Song (or a new version of the old ones). Considering that they performed on the event where Digimon Adventure tri. was annouced, I imagine that their participation in the new series is a strong possibility. AiM (Ai Maeda) is also Mimi’s voice actor, so she seems the most likely candidate.
Another interesting question concerns the serie’s instrumental score. Adventure’s original soundtrack is an iconic part of the series. Sadly, the original composer, Takanori Arisawa, died in 2005. It seems unlikely that a new composer will be able to use Arisawa’s songs, so we are probably looking at a brand new original soundtrack for tri.
8. The Year
Digimon Adventure tri. will take place 3 years after Digimon Adventure 02, which took place in 2002. Assuming they don’t update the timeline, this means that the year is probably 2005.
The Chosen Children’s school years are now:
Takeru and Hikari: 2nd Year of Middle School (8th grade)
Mimi and Koushirou: 1st Year of High School (10th grade)
Taichi, Yamato, and Sora: 2nd Year of High School (11th grade)
Jou: 3rd Year of High School (12th grade) - unlike what many people are saying, Jou is not a university student yet. His school uniform is different from the others because he most likely goes to a private school (like he did in 02).
According to the teaser, the story should start in the summer. In Japan, summer lasts from May to August. However, since the official key visual shows the characters wearing their school uniforms, we can assume that the story beings before the summer holidays, so probably somewhere between May and July 2005. This is also supported by Taichi’s confirmed age — canonically, he is 16 on April 1st, 2005 (at the start of his 2nd year of High School) but apparently he has already turned 17 at the beginning of tri.
9. Daisuke, Miyako, Iori, and Ken
If and when the 02 protagonists appear, they will probably be reduced to background characters or even brief cameos. Athough 02 is not being retconned, the focus of Digimon Adventure tri. is on the original 8 chosen children. This explains why there have been zero mentions of Daisuke, Miyako, Iori, and Ken until now — and why it’s unlikely that we will see any promotional materials of them.
Lots of people have questioned how tri is going to explain the absence of Daisuke & co without retconning 02. It’s actually quite easy — they will simply come up with some plot point to explain why are no longer useful for the story, like they did to Taichi and the others in 02. My guess is that now that there are numerous Chosen Children around the world, they will portray the 8 original chosen as “special” in some way.
10. Digivices
In 02, Takeru and Hikari’s digivices were upgraded to a D-3, which means that the 8 protagonists of tri have different digivice models among them. How will the series handle this situation? There are several possibilities:
Everyone’s digivice stays the same (Takeru and Hikari will keep their D-3);
Taichi and the others’ digivices are upgraded to D-3;
Takeru and Hikari’s D-3 will revert back to their original digivices;
Everyone gets a brand new digivice.
I find the final scenario to be the most likely. First of all, every Digimon series ever made had its own unique digivice/iten. Obviously, a new digivice means more toys sold and consequently more money for Bandai (the new design might be similar to the original, if they want to appeal to Adventure nostalgia). On the other hand, a new digivice might be important for the plot, by introducing different properties and even new evolutions.
11. The Epilogue
Although the 02 Epilogue is unpopular among many Western Digimon fans, it appears that Digimon Adventure tri. will not only keep it canon but also make it a fundamental part of the story. This makes it unlikely that some aspects of it will be retconed, but it also doesn’t mean that tri. will be a slave to the Epilogue or constantly refer to the distant future any more than Adventure or 02 did. The epilogue takes place in 2027, 22 years after tri. — that’s a long time, enough to change pretty much every situation imaginable. There’s virtually nothing they can do that will directly render the Epilogue uncanonical, apart from killing off a character (which, let’s face it, was probably never going to happen in the first place).
My thoughts on how they might handle some of the implications of the Epilogue:
“Everyone has a digimon partner”: This is true in 2027, but it doesn’t mean that it happened at once. It seems clear from the series, the 4th Digimon Adventure film, and post-02 Drama CDs that it was a gradual process that took several years and was by no means completed by 2005. As we have seen, tri. is going to explore how this happened and the difficulties everyone faced to get to that point.
Future careers: The characters are middle and high school students. This means that while we might get some glimpses of why they chose their epilogue jobs, this doesn’t mean that everyone has decided their future professions by 2005. For example, it’s quite possible that Yamato is still pursuing a music career at this point in his life.
Relationships: Just because the characters ended up/did not end up together in the Epilogue, this doesn’t mean that all romantic relationships are settled in tri. It’s quite possible that they’ll show Yamato and Sora break up (and getting back together), or have Takeru and Hikari date (and later break up) — this could actually make for interesting plot elements and a source of character development. That being said, it is very unlikely that they would retcon Sorato. For one, it would turn Sora and Yamato’s future children a plot hole. Furthermore, not only was the relationship between Yamato and Sora treated as a fait accompli in post-02 stories (the 4th movie and the Drama CD Michi e no Armor Shinka), but it was conceived as an important conclusion to those two character’s storylines. Hopefully we can avoid the tiring and pointless shipping wars in tri.
12. Ultimate levels for everyone not named Taichi or Yamato
Those leaked images probably mean that this is going to happen in tri., especially since those Ultimates were also featured in last year’s PSP game (though of course, this pics could be a dream sequence for all that we know). The real question is wether we will get other evolutions, like the potential “triangle/triple evolution”. The number and scale of evolutions will probably depend on the number of episodes.
13. Parallel worlds
It would be very interesting to see the characters visit the parallel worlds that are briefly seen and mentioned in 02, such as the infamous Dark World visited by Hikari and Takeru in The Call of Dagomon (Episode 2.13). Again, this would depend on the length and tone of Digimon Adventure tri. A slice of life 13 episode series would probably not have a lot of room to explore this.
14. New characters
This theory seems to be very popular online. Indeed, both Adventure and 02 included a new chosen child who joined the team later in the story (Hikari and Ken). Could we see a repetition of this pattern in Digimon Adventure tri.?
Some people have also pointed out that a new character would be needed if they wanted to divide the group into “triangles”. Obviously, the current series has 8 protagonists, and 8 isn’t a multiple of 3. Introducing a 9th character would allow for 3 groups of 3 and settle this problem nicely.
However, I don’t completely agree with this theory. To start with, you can still have “triple fusions” without introducing new characters. For example, Taichi and Yamato’s partners already fused in previous stories. You could take the other six characters and still have 2 different triple fusions, for example SoraxMimixHikari and KoushirouxJouxTakeru. They could also introduce a system where anyone could jogress with anyone, depending on what was necessary at a particular point. So in one episode you could have TaichixYamatoxSora, on the other TaichixKoushirouxMimi, and so on. On the other hand, if they want the original Adventure characters to shine (to the point where they are willing to push the former protagonists to the side) I don’t think it would be very logical to introduce a new character who will steal a lot of precious screentime from them. It seems like a waste to spend time developing a new character and exploring how she adapts to such a tight-knit group, especially if that means less minutes with the characters people actually want to see. This sounds even more unlikely if tri. is only 13 or 26 episodes long. But who knows?
However, if they do introduce a new character, I hope it will be a girl in order to correct the gender imbalance in the Adventure team. If you count all the protagonists, that’s 8 boys and 4 girls.
I am so freaking happy about this!

It was said that their were 5 original digidestined before the eight that came in Adventure. Somewhat been intrigued by the whole theory/conspiracy that Frontier was actually a prequel to Adventure and Adventure 02. Of course, it may not be true, but I would love to see something a little more on the original 5.
Oh. My. God. Why did I not think of this sooner?! That pretty much almost explains everything, and I also found it suspicious that the Digital World in Frontier felt as if it had just been created. Jeez, this is like The Legend of Zelda all over again. <_<

On the one hand, it’s a pun on the fact that it this the third series of Digimon Adventure. Similarly, 02 refers to the year in which the second series takes place — it is not an ordinal. Which is why it’s completely wrong to call the other series “01” or “03”. ETA: They probably also want to avoid any confusion with Tamers, which was known as “Digimon 3” in many markets.
Ehehehehe... I must confess that I was always guilty of using "01" when referring to the first series and its incarnation of characters. I guess it's because I'm too lazy to type up "Adventure," haha.

Of course, no one knows if or how this will translate in tri. Personally, I’d love to see 14-year-old Takeru being voiced by Hirata Hiroaki, who plays Narrator/adult Takeru (and also appears in the CD Drama). As for Taichi, the creators might have decided that it was time for him to have a new (male) voice, even though Fujita’s voice is very iconic. Time will tell.
Aw, darn... I'm really gonna miss Taichi's old voice, but I guess he does have to grow up, after all.

7. The music
I’m sure everyone is expecting Kouji Wada, AiM, and Ayumi Miyazaki to sing a new Opening, Ending, and Insert Song (or a new version of the old ones). Considering that they performed on the event where Digimon Adventure tri. was annouced, I imagine that their participation in the new series is a strong possibility. AiM (Ai Maeda) is also Mimi’s voice actor, so she seems the most likely candidate.
Another interesting question concerns the serie’s instrumental score. Adventure’s original soundtrack is an iconic part of the series. Sadly, the original composer, Takanori Arisawa, died in 2005. It seems unlikely that a new composer will be able to use Arisawa’s songs, so we are probably looking at a brand new original soundtrack for tri.
It's really sad to hear that the original composer died.
I'm hoping that Yamashita Kousuke (the composer of Xros Wars) will be able to work on this series' OST.

If and when the 02 protagonists appear, they will probably be reduced to background characters or even brief cameos. Athough 02 is not being retconned, the focus of Digimon Adventure tri. is on the original 8 chosen children. This explains why there have been zero mentions of Daisuke, Miyako, Iori, and Ken until now — and why it’s unlikely that we will see any promotional materials of them.
Lots of people have questioned how tri is going to explain the absence of Daisuke & co without retconning 02. It’s actually quite easy — they will simply come up with some plot point to explain why are no longer useful for the story, like they did to Taichi and the others in 02. My guess is that now that there are numerous Chosen Children around the world, they will portray the 8 original chosen as “special” in some way.
Honestly, this is for the best. Taichi and the others were shafted too hard in 02, so I don't think the 02 characters deserve to leech off any more of their screentime. Then again, Takeru and Hikari noticeably received TOO much screentime, but I guess I shouldn't let that bother me. xD

Nah, most Spring anime is released in April. In the past few Spring seasons, they usually come out on the first or second week of April. Especially since this current season started in January, everything else will be ending in March (unless of course they just do a yolo and let it show at the end of march xD) .

I guess I also found it a bit weird that they were the only non-adventure season to use DigiDestined (even if there wasn't much of a difference between what a Tamer and what a DigiDestined was except their process in digivolution and the name itself).

I did like the concept of DigiXros, but it would be weird for DigiXros to be in this series without questioning why the other forms of digivolution like the DNA Charge, spirit form and the D-Power scans aren't. However, of the 4, being able to DigiXros seems the most... easiest (I guess?) to put into the Adventure Universe. But Adventure 02 already had DNA digivolution and they are pretty similar on it's on so I can't really see how it would work.

Most are. But considering this is Digimon and we can presume it will be more cour anime, I wouldn't be surprised if it started in March.
So to sum it up, last week of March or first week of April, I would guess.

Hmm... I can't remember from the top of my head, but has there ever been a triple (or higher) DNA Digivolution? Because if it's limited to two Digimon, then I think DigiXros might be a good way to combine three or more... that is, IF it happens. xD

As far as I know they've only done two.
I think the main difference between DigiXros and DNA digivolution, is that DigiXros literally takes certain and noticeable features of two/multiple digimon and merges them together.
Like for example:
Imperialdramon Dragon Mode is probably the less noticeable out of them, but they take a new form which DigiXros doesn't do, and that's what I liked most about DNA digivolution in comparison. I liked DigiXros, but Arresterdramon has some pretty weird looking XrosUps xD
Im just curious to see if they'll include some new form of digivolution in general.

Wait, but what about Shoutmon X4? xD
On that note, I think the reason why originality is less noticeable with DigiXros is because we millions of more DigiXroses than Jogresses, haha.

You do have a point xD I think the difference being Shoutmon X4 was one of fewer multiple DigiXros.
DNA digivolving I'm pretty sure there was only the four Omnimon, Paildramon, Silphymon and Shakkoumon. I was kinda hoping they'd play around more with the different digimon combinations but they didn't :(
DigiXros was pretty much the main purpose of season 6 so there was way more combinations and DigiXros.

Yeah, me too. They only played around with them in the games, which were pretty interesting at least.

I think the main difference is: DNA digivolving (or jogress) is only between compatible Digimon, while DigiXros is a weird mismash of all kinds of things like this one: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8PvqO3F0-qg/maxresdefault.jpg

It was probably just worn to keep warm, since it was part of his winter outfit, and he didn't wear it with his other outfits. The only other time he wore it (that I can recall) is in the very first episode of 02, when he wore it with his goggles. He probably wore it then to protect his head against the goggle's strap.

Ah, I didn't even realize that that was the same headband, haha. But I guess he's fine without it, as Masaru/Marcus wouldn't have to feel like the odd one out anymore.
I also too thought it was part of Tai's winter outfit xD
Been thinking a lot recently of Tri as well a lot about Adventure in general.
Like I know how it's focused on the original 8, but later in 02 Ken was given the Crest of Kindness. If there was anything to do with crests in Tri, would Ken be involved in any way with the other 8? As much as this was in the ENG dub (idk about Jap), but they did say he was the ninth child.
Also just a general question, are there any minor characters you'd like to see in Tri, even if it was only a small cameo?
I was kinda bummed out they didn't didn't expand on the small Tag Tamers adaptation/scene between Ryo and Ken in 02. When I was younger I wondered why it was him there with Ken and why and what another person was doing in the digital world, not knowing there was another game on it. Him being there just felt so brief, random and unexplained xD
That makes me question where Tamers is supposed to be placed on the timeline, which shouldn't have mattered if it weren't for Ryo. Darn it, Ryo. xD
Are there any minor characters you'd like to see in Tri, even if it was only a small cameo?
Hmm, I guess it would be cool to see Andromon again -- if he even counts, that is. (I can't remember anyone else at the moment >.<)
Ryo and his dimension-jumping shenanigans have caused enough plot holes as is really :P

Finally. I read through all the posts...man am I pooped...Hehe~
Anyway, going back to the 'new character' and 'love interests' they might add in. Me and a friend mine was re-watching 02 when we began to talk about who would Taichi get together with and the possibilities of new character. She brought up a very good point. The new character that they might add in, most likely will be a female character. Not only to clear up the boys/girls numbers as there are 4 boys and 3 girls. She said that she doubt it would be completely new character. That got my brain turning. I thought (and said to her) what if they just brought a very-very side character into the light? Would that work? It's a rather big possibility. And since this season is straight after 02, the only side character who they'd be able to 'play around' with is Jun Motomiya :/
Also, Digimon has a thing for siblings. As strange as it is, have a look in almost ever season, a new sibling is added in later on. Um. Season 1 is Hikari. Season 2 is Jun. Season 3 is Suzie and Season 4 is Kouchi. (I haven't seen the season after that because I was told they're just bad.) Everyone but Jun, became a Digi-Destine later on in the series.
If Jun is to be brought into the series (which I'm bit weary about as we really don't know anything about her) then she would be the perfect base, as all we know is she is the normal annoying older sister. The stereotype label given to older siblings. So they'd be able to do anything with her character and we wouldn't care because nothing was shown canon for her. We honestly don't know her true personality, only the comic-relief part given to her to make Dasiuke more 'funnier'. In 02, it has shown her to be with the few other original Digi-Destine, even if it was for a small moment. To support this is on the Digital Wiki under her profile.
It says "By the spring, she has become a DigiDestined and needs help in the Digital world."
So wouldn't this be a small plot? As there's no other information on Jun? As-well, if she is chosen, then that would make a doorway for Daisuke to come into the show.
Well...that's all from me. Other then, I can't see them taking out the ending of 02 just because a few fans don't like who ended up with who. I think they'd just add more onto it, adding a few facts to make fans/viewers understand the ending a bit more.

February 15th, 2015 6:18 PM
Jun, Jyou's older brother Shuu, and Miyako's older sisters all receive Digimon in 2003, as told in a drama CD. Since it's been revealed that Tri will focus on the human/Digimon relationship mentioned in the ending monologue of the 02 epilogue, I think that using those four characters to explore that plot point would be a good way to do it. Especially since the reveal of the four getting Digimon partners happens in a part of the drama CD where Hikari is creating guides for people (specifically mentioning those who have siblings) who were suddenly partnered with a Digimon.
Though this could mean nothing because they might not use the drama CDs for anything related to Tri.

“Everyone has a digimon partner”: This is true in 2027, but it doesn’t mean that it happened at once. It seems clear from the series, the 4th Digimon Adventure film, and post-02 Drama CDs that it was a gradual process that took several years and was by no means completed by 2005. As we have seen, tri. is going to explore how this happened and the difficulties everyone faced to get to that point.
Whether or not the drama CDs are included in Tri or not (I really need to listen to them myself), they did say that everyone will have a digimon partner by 2027, so one way or another Jun, Shuu and Miyako's sisters will get their partner. Whether or not is it what the Drama CDs predicted we'll just have to wait and see.
Aside from them, right now, apart from the original eight digidestined, digidestined from around the world and the dark spore kids, everyone else doesn't have a partner (unless I missed people), so I'm curious to see how they'll start this gradual process. How people accept digimon or reject digimon in the human world to how everyone will end up getting their partner.
(Just imagining parents of the original digidestined getting their own partners xD)

Not sure what you mean? D:
Oikawa turned into butterflies at the end of 02 when he died attempting to seal the Digital World from darkness.

Hey hey hey. Yeah it's a Pokemon forum technically, but it's alllllll-so "forum of Pokemon fans", which means we obviously have excellent taste, which obviously means we love Digimon. duhh
In other words: there is enough love for everyone ;___;

Thank you for letting me know, I kinda forgot at this point. But the spoilers tho... well, not sure why anyone would be reading info about a sequel if they didn't watch the first series anyway.

'm slightly amused that because Yamato is in the shadows of the bus, a lot of people on tumblr think that it's foreshadowing that he's gonna become evil or something xD
I think he just 'being cool' like he usually does. I hope he will delight us with his harmonica once again Q___Q
The hype is too real. We should put a countdown banner somewhere.

On the Oikawa part, for reference. (Image thanks to MagnaAngemon from with the will).
The HypeGrandLocomon is in full march.
And if that is indeed the Oikawa butterfly (which is likely) that means they didn't retcon 02 so we finally might see closure to the dark ocean plot points.
Which was one of the most shocking aborted arcs in anime history lol

They've already said they wouldn't be retconning 02, although I can't find exactly where they said that at the moment. Or maybe I'm just thinking of the interview where they brought up the whole 'dealing with the real and digital worlds becoming one' thing being a major plot point, but that alone sounds like enough of a confirmation to me.

can I just pop in to say I've never seen more than five Digimon episodes and am oddly excited for this? omg

To clarify this, it was revealed in an interview with one of the producers (Shuhei Arai) in Japan's Otomedia magazine:

A clue to this whole season can be found in the final story at the end of Digimon Adventure 02. I can tell you that a few words in the last monologue are now turning into the main theme (of the new season). What will they do as they confront different problems so that a union between Humanity and the Digimon can be achieved quickly? In other words, we want to show the union between people and the Digimon.
It looks like it's safe to say that they're not going to retcon 02, since they're going to be using part of the epilogue as the main story for the new season.

Yes!! I don't think Matt ever used the harmonica in Season 2, did he?
More or less I would love to just see some more Matt/T.K interaction in general! - I can just imagine older T.K falling asleep with Gabumon to Matt's harmonica like old times :p
I leave for a day and the increase of DigiThemes around the forum just makes me really happy for some reason xD

A lot of people have been saying it may be pushed back to even May like the new Sailor Moon did :( I hope this doesn't happen for DigiTri.

Any new news if Digimon Tri is getting delayed or if there is an actual release date? I want the hype to be realized, goiz. ;_;

There's been no news posted. Or, I should say, that there's been no believable news posted. There were some fake reports for April Fools' Day about Tri. Some people have guessed that it might be the end of April or beginning of May for a release date.
The main website hasn't been updated for the new egg either.

I'm really hoping at least something comes this week or at least sometime soon >_<
When the final Nade Nade egg hatches I'm hoping it'll finally be the trailer or at least some images from the anime.
In the meantime, if you haven't seen it already I've restarted up the Digimon club in the FC&G section to talk about digimon in general while we wait :)
