'Digimon Adventure tri.' Latest News: New Promotional Video Released for Sixth and Final Film
The second promotional video (PV) has been released for the upcoming sixth and final installment in the "Digimon Adventure tri." anime film series.
The new 90-second PV, which is currently streaming on Toei Animation's official YouTube channel, is unfortunately region-locked to Japan.

Titled "Bokura no Mirai (Our Future)," the anime film will feature a new version of the franchise's representative song, "Butter-Fly," which will be titled "Butter-Fly ~tri.Version~." The song will be performed by the DigiDestined, the Digimon Singers, and the Japanese singers Ayumi Miyazaki and AiM.
