Digimon Adventure tri. 5: Kyôsei

This film is a little rough around the edges, but is an improvement over part 4. As the plot thickens a lot of the tension gets lost as things just start to become overly complex. Overall though it does a fairly good job of building on the last part and raising the stakes for the finale.

I think this film is when I lost hope for the series. Plot points, revelations and emotions just come and go in this series and there is no coherent progression or closure. At this point I knew that I would not get what I wanted, so I just rolled with it. Plus, there is even more moping.

Digimon was basically my childhood, Digimon Tri brought me a lot of joy, from nostalgia and the fact that I actually enjoyed all of the parts of Digimon Tri. That being said, I really did enjoy a whole lot of Tri 5 Co-Existence's story, but I did really dislike a certain thing. I'll start with what I enjoyed about this. I enjoyed the struggle between the Digivolved Meicoomon, Raguelmon , DigiDestined and their partner Digimon, Alphamon and Jesmon. Later on this fight, most of the DigiDestined's partners turn back into their weaker forms because of an attack from Alphamon, leaving only Omnimon with Tai riding on him. The next thing I enjoyed but felt really bad for was Himekawa's struggle to find her former partner, Tapirmon. Himekawa was wandering the digital world in search for Tapirmon but she ends up within the Dark Ocean, which has played a role in corrupting and empowering most who visit, and appears to drown within the Ocean. The last thing that I really loved was the ending. The battle resulted in a fissure opening and Tai and Nishijima fell into it. Then Kari's despair for the loss of her brother caused her partner to Digivolve into a more malevolent form of Ophanimon, Ophanimon Falldown Mode. Next Raguelmon merges with Ophanimon Falldown Mode to become Ordinemon. The digital world then begins to fuse with the real world. Everything ends with Matt picking up and putting on a fallen Tai's goggles and convincing the other DigiDestined to keep on fighting. Now the specific thing I disliked. As stated with the other parts of SHE MUST GO, Meiko. Throughout most of Digimon Adventure Tri, Meiko wouldn't stop whining and complaining. This continues in Tri.5. Back in the real world, Meiko would only wallow in her own sadness and even while her friends, the DigiDestined, tried to console her, she would only still wallow in her sadness. Throughout most of the Tri series, she wanted Meicoomon to die, because it was defective. In Tri 5. it was revealed that Meicoomon was born with a fraction of Apocalymon's data, which is the reason Meicoomon acts the way it does. Meicoomon was also sent to Meiko in hopes that her love and support would suppress Apocalymon's data. But she didn't after seeing her partner act defective, the love and support started to disappear and was replaced with Meiko wanting to kill her partner, because she was defective. In the battle with Raguelmon, she managed to convince Tai and Omnimon to kill her partner, which basically ended with her partner becoming even stronger and more angry. So as stated previously, SHE MUST GO!!!!!
