Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution – Kizuna (Japanese: デジモンアドベンチャー Last Evolution 絆, Hepburn: Dejimon Adobenchā Last Evolution Kizuna) is a 2020 Japanese anime adventure film produced by Toei Animation and animated by Yumeta Company.[5] The film was released in Japanese theaters on February 21, 2020.[6] Set in the same continuity of the first two Digimon television anime series, the film serves as the series finale of the original Digimon Adventure story.

The feature film is a commercial success, grossing more than 24 million dollars worldwide.[7][8] Due to its exploitation in limited releases in most countries of the world, and the total absence of a theatrical release in the United States, the vast majority of these revenue respectively comes from China (more than 19 million US$[9]), Japan and Hong Kong.[10][11][12] A solid business amid the COVID-19 pandemic-related reopening process in various parts of Asia.[13][14][15] Originally scheduled to have a limited release in the U.S. by Fathom Events, the event was cancelled due to the pandemic and its impact on cinemas ;[16][17][18] the film was released in the U.S. on home media formats on October 6, 2020. Successful in the US, it ranked third in domestic sales with over 30,000 Blu-ray copies sold in one week (95% market share).[19]

Last Evolution Kizuna received little attention from film critics, it drew extremely positive reviews from the pop culture and anime media in North America, which viewed the film as a satisfactory conclusion to the Adventure arc and praised the story, the animation, the English vocal and the bittersweet execution of the film's themes.[20][21] In Europe, experts were more severe, especially with regard to its loaded dialogues and a particular stylistic approach, susceptible to lose a large audience.[22][23]

A sequel titled Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning, which serves as the series finale of the Digimon Adventure 02 story, was released in Japanese theaters on October 27, 2023.[24][25][26]
