*** Creator/PaulStPeter reprises his role as Wormmon and Stingmon.

*** Christopher Swindle replaces Creator/NeilKaplan as Hawkmon and Aquilamon. Kaplan did want to come back, [[https://twitter.com/NeKap/status/1270106152974422016 but a combination of bad timing and production going a different direction]], as well [[https://twitter.com/NeKap/status/1285278312596533249 as deadlines for the dub to finish]] prevented it from happening. This is the second time Kaplan has been Other Darrined in the role, as Jeff Nimoy filled in as Hawkmon in ''Revenge of Diaboromon''.

*** Nicolas Roye replaces Creator/VicMignogna as Matt from ''tri.''

* UnderminedByReality: The film's message of letting go of the past is undermined by the fact that the Digimon franchise has largely been relying on ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' nostalgia for much of the latter half of UsefulNotes/TheNewTens, including directly advertising this film to the same people it's seemingly trying to shoo away from the franchise, on top of the fact that not even ''two'' months after its release, Toei released ''[[Anime/DigimonAdventure2020 another Digimon Adventure]]'' installment as a ContinuityReboot. The release gap is so short that many thought it is a continuation of ''Kizuna'' at first glance. This isn't even considering the fact that the ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'' ending is, despite the film's messaging, ''still'' canon to the series, which clearly shows the adult Digidestined having their Digimon with them, thus making the whole thing a ForegoneConclusion.

*** Gianni Bersanetti, reprising his duties as the narrator, also replaces Fabrizio Vidale as Gennai.

** The Italian dub features Massimiliano Alto coming back as the voice of Tentomon after being replaced by Stefano Billi in ''02'' and an unknown voice actor in ''Anime/DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersWhoLeaptThroughTime'', while Davide Lepore comes back as Gomamon after being replaced by Gianluca Crisafi in ''Young Hunters''.

*** Edoardo Stoppacciaro replaces Nanni Baldini as Wormmon.

** Jeff Nimoy, who originally played young Gennai, returns to the role after Creator/SteveBlum filled in for the final episode of ''02'', though Nimoy had voiced the evil Gennai doppelgänger in ''tri.'' in the interim.

** In Latin America, as with any anime film released exclusively in cinemas by Cinepolis, the film is not available in Ecuador, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Uruguay, Dominican Republic and Venezuela because the company does not exist in those countries.

The only exceptions were Joe and Tentomon due to Creator/JoseMariaCarrero's passing in 2015, Veemon due to Jorge Teixeira not coming out of retirement (due to undisclosed but forceful reasons), Pilar Domínguez as Ken for the same (although she was thankful for the offer), and Creator/FranciscoAndresValdivia as Wormmon since scheduling issues prevented him from reprising the role.

* CreativeDifferences: Hiroyuki Kakudou (Director of ''Adventure'' and ''02'') was initially acting as a creative and lore consultant but [[https://www.reddit.com/r/digimon/comments/exof4l/spoiler_links_discussion_digimon_adventure_last/fggwhzv/ quit over the film's premise violating one of the rules created for the series' setting]]. Though unconfirmed, fans speculate it was the sudden enforcing of an age limit on being a Chosen Child/[=DigiDestined=].

* {{Jossed}}: Due to the premise revealed in the trailer, fans have thought that the DistantFinale of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'' will be retconned out. An [[https://withthewill.net/threads/22802-Translated-Multi-Part-Interview-with-Producer-Yousuke-Kinoshita-about-Kizuna-amp-Shorts interview]] with the film's producer, Yousuke Kinoshita revealed the DistantFinale is still canon.
-->'''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.'''
