The DigiDestined struggle to help their partners regain their memories of them.
Synopsis[]
As the DigiDestined try to reestablish their friendship with their rebooted Digimon partners, they briefly come across Meicoomon, who has retained her memories of Meiko despite the reboot. While the others seem to get along well with their partners, who evolve back into rookie form, Sora has trouble reconnecting with Biyomon, who appears hostile towards her. Later that night, as Tai and Matt try to help Sora with her worries, they are suddenly attacked by Machinedramon, whose attack spreads the DigiDestined and Digimon across the Digital World. Meanwhile, Nishijima looks into the whereabouts of Himekawa's secret files and remembers how she wanted to reboot the Digital World to revive her own deceased partner Digimon who was unable to recompose into a Digi-Egg after death. He is then approached by a Digimon named Hackmon, who relays a message from Homeostasis warning him about King Drasil, who has gotten its hands on Gennai and targets Meicoomon for something known as "Libra".
Sora and Biyomon end up in the desert, where they come across Meiko, who came to the Digital World to search for Meicoomon. When Meicoomon attacks them out of fear of abandonment, Meiko manages to stand up and calm her down. Just then, they are attacked by Dark Gennai who had disguised himself as Ken, who attempts to capture Meicoomon and Sora's Digivice. As the other DigiDestined all come to their aid, the Mysterious Man shows his true form and reveals that the reboot was all part of King Drasil's plan to create a new world order submission both world in one rule. Where humans and Digimon no longer interact with each other and the enslavement of both world into isolation for the cabal system.

Miscellaneous trivia
- The scene in Digimon Adventure tri: Loss where Dark Gennai licks Sora’s face was widely criticized for being unsettling and inappropriate. Many fans felt that it crossed a line, especially in the wake of the MeToo and Time’s Up movements, which were gaining momentum around the time of the English dub’s release.
- According to a 2025 email, Jeff Nimoy, the English voice actor for Dark Gennai, later stated that he was unaware of the MeToo and Time’s Up movements during the production of Loss and only recorded his lines without knowing the full context of the scene.
