The biggest way Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning changes the original series is by revealing the real reason why the DigiDestined exist in Adventure continuity. Louie’s partner Digimon, Ukkomon, has the power to grant wishes through contact with a mystical entity, either Yggdrasil or Homeostasis, and when Louie is looking for friends, Ukkomon says he’ll make sure Louie can befriend humans and Digimon like them. That said, rather than being something that happens naturally, the whole concept of Digidestiny was created by Ukkomon and is not something that is supposed to exist naturally in the Adventure Continuity.

The bonds between DigiDestined and Digimon may not be real.
The revelation in Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning that the general concept of Digimon Destined is something forced upon the world naturally comes with a dark twist on how Digimon plays. This undermines the friendship between the Digimon and the DGD by essentially making them bond with each other, but the fights they often engage in become even worse because now it’s something they have to live up to in order to fulfill Louis’ needs. . The latter, in particular, disgusts Louis when he finds out about it, and it all makes the basic idea of Digimon darker than ever.
That being said, the film doesn’t try to stick to those dark elements. The main characters prove that their friendships with Digimon are genuine and not based on Ukomon’s powers, and even though Ukomon’s defeat causes everyone to lose their Digimon, it is considered that they don’t need Digivs to be friends with Digimon and they decide. To live their lives as before. Everything that Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning reveals about DigiDestined is undoubtedly big, but the characters don’t seem to let it get in the way of their personal relationships, and that’s the best way for the story to deal with something like this.
