In the beginning of episode 1 of Digimon Tri, we see glimpses of the second
generation Digi-destined (Davis, Yolei, Cody, and Ken; sorry I only know their
English dubbed names) being destroyed by what looks like Alphamon.

Several (in universe) days have past since this event, so why has nobody
inquired about what happened to them? I would imagine that they would be
missing and somebody would notice.

Are the 2nd gen Digi-destined even alive after their defeat?

Why does no one notice the 2nd generation Digi-destined in Digimon Tri?


**Disclaimer** : This Q&A is about an ongoing series as of the time of the
posting, and future episodes may reveal more on the subject or change the
perceptions shown here.

Around a decade has passed since the defeat of MaloMyotismon and the
restauration of the digi-world. The show did not yet disclose what happened to
the 2nd generation digi-destined. It might be that they lost contact with the
1st gen, moved away, or any other explanation.

In our real world a decade is time enough to make even closest friends drift
apart, more so when they are children, bound to move along with their parents
when these parents change jobs or get transferred.

But I would hold my hat on that issue. It is very unlikely that Koushiro
"Izzy" Izumi would allow digi-destined to not stay in touch. They even have a
social network of sorts "Digi-destined of the World", that they use to warn
the other digi-destined of the infected digimon returning to Earth.

So, their apparent disappeareance is more likely to be a plot device, to be
revealed in future episodes. It is not like they don't care or are not in
touch, it just wasn't shown on screen **yet**.

During the first _Tri_ movie, it's mentioned that it had been a year since the
close of the digital gate, and that it had not opened since. If anyone
remembers during _Adventure 02_ , the premise was that the loss of the Destiny
stones caused the digital world to merge, but BlackWarGreymon sealed the gate.

It's at this point that time becomes alternate for _Digimon Tri_. Rather than
the dark spires reappearing, Himekawa is trying to get her digipartner back,
much the same way that Oikawa had lost his partner. She sent Ken, Youli,
Davis, and Cody back to the digital world, but they lost to Alphamon. As in
dead, both they and their digital partners.

This is why Himekawa is aware that these kids are 'offline' as shown in the
computer screen. She purposefully infected Meicoomon with the dark power that
Ken as the Digital Emperor had used in the form of control bands. The
assumption is that she figured if she corrupted the digital world, it would
force a reset to create homeostasis between the digital and real world. But
she also has to deal with the original DigiDestined.

The other possibility is that Himekawa intended to get her partner back by
recreating a digital partner, but instead got Meicoomon who wasn't a perfect
digital creation, hence the infection, figured out that she would have to
force a reboot and began eliminating the DigiDestined, starting with Ken,
Davis, Youli, and Cody, and it was in fact Meicoomon who killed the kids.
