Assuming it hasn't been retconed, they're not dead.

It's safe to assume that they're still alive based on the epilogue from the end of Season 2. Maybe only they're Digimon were killed (but Digimon get reborn so that's not too bad), and they were imprisoned or something. Or this could take place in an alternate universe, as Season 6 demonstrated that there are multiple universes with alternate realities.

I think we'll find they're defeated but not fatally so.

Or maybe season 2 never happend in this universe?

reply

There's no indication of a retcon. You do see the season 2 characters briefly at the beginning of the movie.

They're still in it, the second movie has Ken in it, back to his DigimonEmperor self which I love but confuses the fck out of me as well. That and he has DarkImperialdramon under his command, which means he controls both Wormmon and Veemon.

Yea I'm confused about teh status in genereal of the 02 kids for this series. 02 seems to not be getting retconned as Kari adn TK still have the D3 digivices and we see the other 02 kids at the very start and tehn what appears to be Ken as the emperor again (however the way he disappeared at the end and the light coming from the mysterious digimon almost makes it seem like him and Imperialdramon might have been constructs of his, possibly to push teh digimon and partners to become stronger adn be able to digivolve to their mega forms.)

Given that 02 seemed to still happen it seems strange that none of the kids, especially TK and Kari talk about them at all. And the way they reacted to seeing Ken seemed weird. The statements they made seemed like they were shocked to see him in general and nto jsut that he was dressed like the digimon emperor again. Hoping some of the next episodes soon will reveal more information about what happened with them between 02 and Tri.

Kind of odd if they really aren't appearing.

I get that the point of this is to focus on the original eight and how they've changed, as they're the ones who started it all, but ignoring the 02 characters by pushing them completely out of the spotlight seems confusing and poorly-handled. I get that there are already too many characters and throwing in an additional four would be distracting, especially if doing so involved creating evolution sequences for their digimon as well. I'm assuming they'll just show up at the very end of the final episode to pay thanks to the original kids for saving them from whatever's been keeping them imprisoned, so we'll at least see what they're like now but without having to focus on having them any real character development or new evolutions.

Also confusing is that everyone in the world is supposed to have a partner digimon now, and that happened well before the epilogue of 02. Is that true of this universe? I've seen a few bits and pieces of the new one, in Japanese with Chinese subtitles, as I live in China and it's difficult to find an English subbed version here. I can read some Chinese but not enough to understand everything, but from what I can see, it seems that the existence of digimon is at least common knowledge to the other people.
