--->'''HH''': Since one of Digimon’s themes is "growing up," I would think a title like "Last Evolution Kizuna" makes it pretty easy for people [[ForegoneConclusion to guess what’s going to happen]] before they even see it.
--->'''Kinoshita''': Since the information that we've released at this moment has taglines like "The last evolution" and "We can't stay together?," I'm sure that everyone is aware that it's going to be that kind of story. But I don't think that their story ends there. For them [the characters], it's simply one of many important turning points in their lives. '''Since their world in 2028 is already depicted in the last episode of "02," we think of that [last episode] as the end goal while adding in details of what else could have happened before arriving there.'''
