'Digimon Adventure Tri' 5-Minute Preview Debuts Meikumon, Meiko's Companion [VIDEO]?

With the premiere of the "Digimon Adventure Tri" film series drawing ever closer, the first official preview of "Reunion" has given us the first glimpse of a new Digimon for franchise reboot.

On Monday, various online portals began uploading and translating the first five minutes of the first "Digimon Adventure Tri" movie. English fans can find an English dub of the sneak peek below.

Roughly four minutes and forty seconds into the preview, fans noticed a new character holding a Digimon we don't yet recognize. Although it hasn't officially been confirmed, the name circulating the web calls it Meikumon, the companion of new character Meiko Mochidzuki.

"Alphamon does not say a word and appears to be hunting Meikumon," alleged a 4chan user.

Allegedly, Meiko is from Tottori and transfers to Tai's class during the "Digimon Adventure Tri" timeline. She is "searching for something in Odaiba and gets involved in battles with Digimon." It is possible, then, that Meikumon is the catalyst for her Digimon adventure.

The "Digimon Adventure Tri" six-part film series is a sequel to the original 1999 "Digimon Adventure" anime series. The new films were created in celebration of the 15-year anniversary since the original anime series premiere.

The first film entitled "Reunion" will get a limited release in Japanese theaters on Nov. 21. Anime News Network also reports that the film will get a special advance screening on Oct. 23. "Reunion" will then be live streamed on NicoNico starting Oct. 25.
