Will New 'Black Knight' Digimon From 'Next Order' Appear As An 'Adventure Tri' Villain?

The highly anticipated "Digimon Adventure Tri" film series has just debuted its first movie, "Reunion." But will Alphamon be the only villain of the series, or will more join him?

On Thursday, Siliconera scooped up a new Japanese scan for the upcoming video game "Digimon World: Next Order," set to release in 2016. Reportedly, the scan from Bandai Namco reveals a new Digimon codenamed the "Black Knight."

While nothing more definitive is known about this mysterious Digimon, the cross-over between "Next Order" and "Adventure Tri" is leading some to believe it will eventually make an appearance in the film series.

On Friday, Tamer Union reviewed the special live stream which aired just prior to the "Adventure Tri" premiere. The live stream confirmed a crossover campaign between the anime series and "Digimon World: Next Order." What this includes is a digital download of the new DigiDestined companion Meikumon when fans purchase the game next year.

Furthermore, the "Black Knight" looks similar in power and design as the Royal Knights which Alphamon belongs to, so additional appearances of this group may occur in future films.

According to Anime News Network, the second film of the "Digimon Adventure Tri" series, titled "Determination" will be released on March 12.

"Quite a few months of waiting, but I'm alright with that. I hope the continuation can go with the momentum the first movie has set up," said Stark700 in an ANN forum.
