For everyone else, the movie works on its own terms. It's poignant without being sappy, and the "Where are they now?"-style closing credits, with images of the DigiDestined working straight jobs in various career fields, adds another layer of sweet sorrow for the superfans. But unlike so many other movies that try to blend themes with action - anime and otherwise - Last Evolution Kizuna finds a successful balance. The third act seems like a near-constant barrage of fiery explosions and sparkly prismatic beams flashing to and fro. Of course, there's plenty of action to go with all the insights into the human condition. The comments on avoiding and escaping the "infantilization" of contemporary pop culture should come through loud and clear, as much as it may pain some to let go of their childhoods. For those coming into the movie without knowing all of the ins and outs of this particular anime universe, the movie's heady themes of life and death, growing up and moving on, and making your own way in the world are poignant, universal, and relatable. This is a bittersweet coming-of-age story that manages to transcend the expected anime battles and action. The DigiDestined soon learn that Menoa hasn't told the complete story, and when they discover that Menoa is trying to create a purgatorial alternative digital "Neverland" reality where no one has to grow up and they can be with their Digimon forever, the DigiDestined must rescue the kids who have already been trapped by Menoa so they can grow up and make their own ways in the world. They meet a researcher named Menoa Balluci, who, with her assistant Kyotara, are trying to solve the mystery of an unidentified Digimon. Meanwhile, the DigiDestined realize that their work isn't complete when they learn of a "mass coma phenomenon" in which healthy people faint for seemingly no reason, and those fainting are also DigiDestined. Tai discovers that there's a timer in his Digivice that counts down the time until his time with his faithful Digimon companion Agumon will come to end, and this parting is directly related to growing up. In DIGIMON ADVENTURE: LAST EVOLUTION KIZUNA the DigiDestined are growing up and beginning to settle in to careers and adulthood.
