History TearJerker / DigimonAdventureLastEvolutionKizuna

* TK's final hat -- a black fedora -- is a subtle tribute to the late Koji Wada, who wore them towards the end of his life.

* IMMEDIATELY after this, Tai and Matt try to get to their injured Digimon, only to be held back by the de-aged [=DigiDestined=], and shortly after being beaten down by their Digimon. Tai's heartbroken and betrayed reaction to his friends, including his own sister, trying to kill him just to retain their childhood only makes the situation more heartbreaking.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFIkBhyhm6A The song playing during the credits]] really hammers home that this is the GrandFinale of the series.

* At a meta and symbolic level, just the cover alone on this Trope's page has Tai doing a hand gesture. It has a triple meaning. Hello, goodbye and see you again. "Hello" because people would raise their hands that way even if their backs are turned. "Goodbye" for the original Saga from the original 01 series all the way to the 1st movie, 2nd movie, 3rd movie, 02 series, tri. movies and lastly Kizuna. [[spoiler: And finally "see you again" due to the fact that Digimon 01 was rebooted in the form of Digimon Adventure 2020]].

* When Tai [[spoiler: went to visit Menoa, due to the rainy weather outside the building, one can spot the raindrops' shadow flowing down "on her face". It was like Menoa is symbolically crying but did not show it, still keeping the pain to herself at that time]].

Tai's heartbroken and betrayed reaction to his friends trying to kill him just to retain their childhood only makes the situation more heartbreaking.

** In the middle of this, Matt had brought a new harmonica with him, practically on purpose, and plays it for Gabumon one last time.

As the GrandFinale of the original [=DigiDestined=] team, it only makes sense that this film will make you cry. Bring tissues.

* After Omnimon falls apart, Menoa reveals that because the [=DigiDestined=] are starting to grow up, they will be forced to separate from their Digimon partners. Tai is hit hard when he sees a timer on his Digivice. Neither T.K. nor Izzy have been affected, but Matt reacts strongly when he sees a timer on his, so much that he runs out of Izzy's office.

As the GrandFinale of the original DigiDestined team, it only makes sense that this film will make you cry. Bring tissues.

* The film ends on a BittersweetEnding. After Eosmon is defeated, Tai and Matt have one tick left on their timers and spend the afternoon with Agumon and Gabumon separately, having [[PlanningForTheFutureBeforeTheEnd idle conversations]] reminiscing their past and future plans without really facing that the end is near. But once Agumon and Gabumon each ask both of them what they plan on doing tomorrow, by the time they answer, both Digimon are gone. The Digivices finally become unusable, and Tai and Matt are left to cry alone.

* "To Sora" reveals that Sora wants to move away from being a [=DigiDestined=] after being one for the majority of her life, so much that she practically never participates in their group chat. After Biyomon brings her flowers, she begins to cry, as she feels trapped between both decisions, which is relatable for people going through life-changing events. While Sora is not actively seen in ''Last Evolution Kizuna'' proper, [[spoiler:the film reveals that she was the first of them to get the timer and never told anyone. She does seem to be aware of what's going on, as she refuses to let Biyomon fight in favor of staying with her.]]

* Menoa's past, as revealed near the end of the film, shows that [[spoiler:after securing a scholarship to attend university and skipping grades, she has decided what she wants to do with her life. However, even though she's still a teenager and within the age limit of keeping a Digimon partner, the fact that she has decided on a path in life means she's grown up early, and it causes Morphomon to disappear.]]
** The flashback with [[spoiler:Morphomon]] is replayed after Eosmon is defeated, and this time, you hear what she's trying to say: [[spoiler:"We'll be together forever."]] This causes [[spoiler:Menoa]] to have a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment and beg for forgiveness.
