Digimon Adventure 20th Memorial Story
Digimon Adventure 20th Memorial Story is a short series to Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna.
It's a five-part prequel mini-series focusing on side stories.
01. To Sora (空へ)
The first of the five mini stories is named
To Sora with Sora as a main character.
Izzy texts Sora about the Digital Gate that has been detected near Shibuya. Sora who is
preparing flowers for her upcoming flower arrangement is informed by Biyomon about the text but
she ignores Biyomon and tells her to stop annoying her. Later she checks the DigiDestined
group chat to see everyone is safe even without her help. Mimi calls Sora since she doesn't
reply to any of the messages in the group chat wondering how she is. Sora explains to Mimi that
she is preparing flowers for her mother's display and she doesn't want to embarrass her. That's
why she is bussy and never shows up even though she is nearby. Mimi tells Sora it's the same
with her since she is always abroad. Mimi explains her plans for the future and the two of them
talk about other DigiDestined's future plans. They are both happy that they all are walking
their own paths, whilst Mimi says it was their destiny to become the Digidestined, though it
wasn't their fate. Mimi encourages Sora to spread her wings freely as the group will stand by her no
matter what. After the call, Biyomon gives Sora flowers to cheer her up. This makes Sora to
tears who hugs Biyomon and explains how she just wants to be Sora, a normal girl and not a
DigiDestined or the daughter of a flower arrangement grandmaster. Biyomon tells her to fly high
and she will always be there to fly with her. After she submits her flower piece for the exhibit she
decides she will walk her own path and no longer participate in battles.
02. Hole in the Heart (心の穴)
At the hospital, as the Chosen Children engage in a serious discussion about the unfolding crisis, Agumon and Gabumon find themselves waiting outside. The tense atmosphere drives Agumon to
seek a glimpse of Tai from the balcony, defying Gabumon's cautious warnings. In his attempt, Agumon unintentionally tumbles off the fence, causing damage to the structure. When Gabumon remarks
that Digimon don't undergo physical growth, Agumon, in his characteristic humor, misunderstands, asserting that he hasn't physically grown either.
Seated on a bench beside the now-broken fence, Agumon and Gabumon delve into a poignant conversation about the inevitability of Tai and Matt growing up and embracing adulthood.
The weight of the impending separation from their partners hangs heavily in the air, but amid the uncertainty, they find solace in the notion that their shared memories and experiences will
persist. Resolute, they commit to confronting challenges alongside their human counterparts and crafting new memories together.
As they clasp hands in a gesture of determination, Joe stumbles upon them, bearing the news that Tai and Matt are searching for them. With a hint of mischief, Agumon confesses to Joe
about the unintended fence damage, immediately extending a heartfelt apology as Joe vents his frustration.
03. Medical Student Joe Kido (医学生・城戸丈)
Gomamon and Agumon enjoy watching a medical show at Joe's place. Concerned about Joe's fear of blood, Gomamon worries if he can become a doctor. Over dinner, Gomamon tests Joe by faking injuries,
but Joe dismisses it as a game. Later, a real danger unfolds as a lost dog dashes into the street. Joe, distracted, follows it, and Gomamon heroically saves him from an oncoming truck.
Now genuinely hurt, Gomamon is tended to by Joe, who overcomes his fear of blood. Grateful, Gomamon admits he worries about Joe being unreliable. Joe, acknowledging the truth, thanks
Gomamon for saving him. Meanwhile, Agumon, covered in ketchup, continues his faux injury act until he dozes off in the street.
04. The Desired Jogress Evolution (あこがれのジョグレス進化)
In the Digital World, as Sylphimon train his skills, Biyomon and Palmon are captivated observers. Curious about Jogress evolution, they approach V-mon for insights. In search of Wormmon to
demonstrate, Biyomon and Palmon daydream about their potential Jogress form. Later, attempting to Jogress evolve, they catch Gatomon and Hawkmon off guard after their training. Despite V-mon's
inability to locate Wormmon by evening, Biyomon and Palmon surprise him with a makeshift, combined appearance, claiming successful Jogress evolution. Seeking V-mon's opinion, he nervously
chuckles, deeming their transformation cool.
05. The Shibuya-ish Heroic Saga of Pump and Gotsu (パンプとゴツの渋谷系武勇伝)
Gabumon and V-mon hang out at a fancy bar for grown-ups when the famous Pumpmon and Gottsumon, known as Shibuya-type, walk in. Gabumon recognizes them from their Shibuya encounter and asks if
they're the same duo. Confirming it, Pumpmon and Gottsumon share exaggerated stories of their Digimon glory days, involving epic battles against hordes of enemies. While V-mon is thrilled,
Gabumon doubts the authenticity of their tales unrelated to Shibuya. The two Digimon eventually reveal that their heroic deeds were fueled by a phase known as eighth-grade syndrome,
leading them to join Vamdemon to stay cool in Shibuya. They admit to faking their deaths with afterimages and confess to living secretly in the Real World. Shocked, Gabumon demands Matt's tears
back, thinking they were mourning them. Pumpmon and Gottsumon claim to have moved on from Shibuya-type to become Ginza-type Digimon, leaving with two women. V-mon and Gabumon, now feeling like
kids, are left behind at the bar.
