After defeating Ultimate Myotismon, Zheng Fan accepted Zenjiro’s request to become his disciple and helped Akari call for a Digivice, but the fragile space around Earth forced the group to leave. Zheng Fan found the route to the Digimon World and began a spatial jump with Taiki and his friends, intending to draw Tactimon away from the endangered world.

• Taiki learned from Akari and Zheng Fan that time passed differently in the Human World and the Digimon World, then reunited with his family.
