Finally,
I get to write my thoughts on the first five minutes of Digimon Tri! It was
hard to find a clear trailer, however, I ended up finding an HD one.[1]
The trailer kicks off with the Data World, a white room where a black cube is
being created. According to the
narrator, demiurge is the black cube. He existed in this data world without a
soul, while the universe was being constructed. According to Plato, Demiurge is a entity that created the world and is
able to maintain it. However, since Demiurge created the world from complete
chaos, the world still out of control. Keeping with the platonic explanation,
the narrator says that there were transcendental/perfect objects or as Plato
calls it ideas. Among these ideas was demiurge that was an idea created from
chaos. The narrator, then says that Demiurge was alone and nothing else
existed. Its interesting to note that the image here is of a dark matter
spreading around the white room. I can see the parallels between Demiurge and a
computer virus. Afterwards, the narrator emphasizes Demiurge as superior to
everyone; he has no match. Later he says that the world was covered in shadows.
We see the image of two digi eggs, one
white and the other black. I am guessing they represent parallel worlds. The white world is where story of the
original digidestined and the one’s in 02. While the black one is the one where
the 02 characters were defeated or never became digidestined. We can support
this by the fact that we see red images of Alphamon defeating Davis, Yolie,
Cody and Ken.[2]
Meanwhile, see an all grown up Kari waking up Tai for him to go to school.
Tai’s digivice remains the same from Adventure, hinting again to 02 never
happening. After, Tai leaves for school we get shot from a man checking watching
the new from his phone. The newscaster talks about a blackout at Kawasaki. Most
likely its Kuwagamon, whose come from the Digital world and is causing chaos.[3]
Finally, we see Tai riding his bike
across Tokyo. In the background, we can hear Wada singing the classic theme song,
“Butterfly.”
These five minutes of the OVA are heavy. They
lay the philosophical foundation for the creation of the Digital world. In
addition, the trailer touches on the parallel universe, where Digimon Tri takes
place. I am sure that later in the movie they’ll be more exposition and an
clearer explanation of the events that took place.
Any way, what do you think about the first
five minutes?
