Digimon Adventure Returns for a new Season

[Netkeeper]

Thanks for adding more input in regards to Sorato/Taiora. It's been too long since I've seen the subs and even when I watch them I don't really pay attention to the shipping subtext. The part about Valentine's was interesting.

As far as I know, she only lost the tail ring because plot needed her to be as weak as the others, since her strength goes down a whole level when she loses it. It was just a plot device. She gets it back at the end of the series because the writers didn't need her to be weak any more.

Also, Iori was so against killing because his own father was killed protecting a government official. He saw things in black & white. All killing = bad.

Thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU. It made SENSE for the 02 kids to go through that "we can't kill these Digimon" phase, though I will admit, it felt kinda forced in some areas and I think it could have been developed a little better.

Yeah, my main problem with the epilogue is that it ends the series the way it does with this "everyone gets a Digimon, babies ever after, hurray!" kinda note, and that some of the future developments don't make any god damn sense.

[Is there any explanation for Matt being an astronaut, I haven't looked into the supplemental material that might offer information like this]
