New collaboration with Loft & Amnibus was announced for Digimon Adventure!

Details about exact merch will follow soon, but the tweet states that the concept was decided by keeping the idea of 25th Anniversary in focus but the art itself is flower + wedding outfit themed. The collab will start in June which is considered a good month for brides in Japan and so we see many wedding themed anime illustrations get released during this time every year.

Now it is time for another certified Ayushi breakdown 🫡

Taichi and Agumon are seen holding Edelweiss, with a pattern of the flower drawn beautifully on Taichi's shirt as well. Edelweiss in Japanese Language of Flowers (Hanakotoba) is meant to symbolise 'cherished memories/大切な思い出' and 'courage/勇気', while in Western Language of Flowers it's meant to symbolise 'noble courage' and 'daring' - both of which are apt for our best leader 🧡

Yamato and Gabumon are seen holding Alstroemeria (Lily of the Incas, Peruvian Lily), and while the flower motif is not drawn onto his clothes, Yamato's coat's breast pocket is decorated with the flower as well. In Hanakotoba, Alstroemeria is meant to symbolise 'persistence/持続' or 'longing for the future/未来への憧れ', while in Western Language of Flowers it's meant to symbolise 'friendship' and 'devotion'. All meanings are apt for him imo, but especially persistence and longing for the future are very representative of his arc from the first series till Kizuna.

Sora and Piyomon are seen with Pink Carnations, with the neckline of Sora's jumpsuit lined with a bunch of the flowers. I personally love the visual of Sora in this pink jumpsuit, it plays into her slightly tomboyish yet extremely gentle personality so well! In Hanakotoba carnations symbolise 'innocent and deep love/無垢で深い愛' and pink carnations specifically symbolise 'love of a woman/女性の' 'passionate love/熱愛' and "beautiful gesture/美しいしぐさ'. In Western Language of Flowers carnations symbolise 'fascination' and love'. All meanings are pretty accurate for Sora, but red carnations are used to symbolise Mother's love in Japan so it would've been nice if they threw in a mix of red and pink to hint at her relationship with her mother!

Koushiro and Tentomon are seen holding Violet Sage, which at first glance I thought was Lavender. The flower pattern is also visible on his waistcoat and bowtie, which ties together his outfit very nicely! In Hanakotoba, Sage seems to have many symbolisations, 'respect/尊敬', 'wisdom/知恵', 'good home/良い家庭', and 'family love/家族愛'. But Blue (Violet) Sage specifically signify respect and wisdom. In Western Language of Flowers, Sage symbolises 'esteem', 'wisdom' and 'domestic virtue'. Again, a perfect choice for Koushiro, I personally would prefer to believe that they picked this not because of his crest but because of 'good home' and 'family love' since that part of Koushiro's arc in the first series was probably the most impressionable aspect of his character.

Mimi and Palmon are seen holding baby's breath, with Mimi's dress covered in a pattern of it. Even keeping my bias towards Mimi aside, this is possibly one of the prettiest outfit of hers till date, it genuinely looks like she's about to walk down the aisle as a flower girl for a very happy couple! In Hanakotoba, Baby's Breath or Kasumisou, symbolises 'pure heart/清らかな心', 'innocence/無邪気', 'kindness/親切', and 'happiness/幸福'. In Western Language of Flowers it symbolises 'everlasting love', 'purity of heart', and 'innocence'. All meanings apply to Mimi to the T, but they're also very apt for the whole wedding theme of the merch which makes this particular outfit + flower choice my favourite from the lot.

Jou and Gomamon are seen holding Violets or Sumire. I honestly struggled to figure out the flower for a while, at first glance I thought it was Periwinkle but since that was not mentioned in the Hanakotoba reference anywhere, I searched other people's interpretations and settled with Violets. His tie also has a cute pattern of the flower, and it makes me wonder if Koushiro and Jou went shopping for their outfits together! In Hanakotoba, Sumire symbolise 'modesty/謙虚', 'sincerity/誠実', and 'small happiness/小さな幸せ'. Depending on the colour, the symbolism can change in Hanakotoba, and purple Violets specifically represent 'fidelity' along with 'love'. In Western Language of Flowers it symbolises 'modesty' and 'faithfulness'. This is as Jou as a flower can get lol.

Takeru and Patamon are seen with White Gerberas. Like Yamato, Takeru's outfit doesn't have a pattern of the flower, but the Gerberas themselves are pinned to his suspenders. In Hanakotoba, Gerbera symbolises 'hope/希望' and 'always moving forward/常に前進'. White Gerbera specifically are used to symbolise 'hope' and 'honesty/律儀'. In Western Language of Flowers it is meant to symbolise 'cheerfulness' and 'beauty'. All meanings are accurate for Takeru, no comment needed!

Hikari and Tailmon are seen with Sunflowers. I personally feel that Hikari's outfit is a little too much compared to the rest, just the sunflower belt would've been enough but they added that extra line at the hem and it's kind of an overdose. In Hanakotoba, Sunflowers symbolise 'I gaze only at you/私はあなただけを見つめる', 'adoration/愛慕', and 'worship/崇拝'. In Western Language of Flowers, it symbolises 'adoration' and 'false riches'. I understand that they wanted to go with a bright or perky flower for Hikari but something like a Pink Aster which symbolises patience or Cosmos which symbolises harmony, peace etc. might suit Hikari better given the overall theme of the illustration. The only miss in the otherwise perfectly depicted theme and art!

@digimonadventureweek Day 6, March 6th - Favourite episode: #31 - "Raremon! Surprise Attack on Tokyo Bay"

I have once made a list of my "Top 16 favourite Digimon Adventure episodes" and no matter what I do, I always come back to this one. Not only is this one of the episodes my dad had recorded for me when I was a kid because I couldn't watch it when it first aired on TV, but it also basically contains everything that I love about Digimon Adventure as a whole. It also justifies a lot of my biases and headcanons in the process, but that's just a side note.

This is the closest we've ever gotten to a "slice of life" anime that includes the original cast, as it contains several of its typical elements while focusing on and mirroring primarily Taichi's and Koushirou's experiences on their first evening back home in the real world. I could have taken approximately 100 screenshots of it, because the storytelling and pacing are just so marvelous to me:

Even though it definitely IS a slice-of-life-ish episode, it doesn't lose the main plot at all, but intertwines it perfectly into the story: The kids are looking for the eighth child and Taichi, rightfully, suspects Hikari, since she had been with him during the Hikarigaoka incident. Thus he and Koromon ask her if she owns a Digivice already, which she denies. The viewer can tell that she does own one, it was just stolen and played with by their housecat Meeko/Miko - and she is the reason we're gonna get an action-packed chase scene later down the line of the episode...

Then there's the secondary plot - I refuse to call it B plot, because it is so in the forefront of everything that happens. As mentioned, it's all about Taichi and Koushirou reuniting with their families and trying their best to hide their Digimon from them. They're both having rather warm, heartfelt and happy moments that feel light-hearted (and even a bit comedic) on surface level. The difference here is that Koushirou's personal backstory is also given more space to bloom; while both Taichi's mother, Yuuko, and Koushirou's mother, Kae, sense that something about their sons is off, the latter seems to be ridden by melancholy and guilt about it. Koushirou has been acting nothing but polite and grateful towards her, but she feels like this is not how he should be like, that he is hiding something - which, as her husband, Masami, puts it, "is nothing we can blame him for, since we're hiding something from him as well".

It's the first time the viewer actually hears that Koushirou was adopted - we have seen him having flashbacks and getting somewhat distraught and sad about something, but we didn't know what it was. One can tell that he means it when he tells his mother that he's grateful - we see it when he keeps smiling happily to Tentomon about everything -, but there is that barrier. He IS hiding something from them - and we know it's not just Tentomon, even if that is perfectly mirrored with Taichi hiding Koromon as well -, but she cannot grasp what it is. And he is burdening himself with it, everything: Caring for and hiding his partner, sneaking out of his room to deal with a rampaging Digimon in the middle of the night while (potentially) chasing the eighth child around town - on his own, because the others are already fast asleep -, having a one-on-one fight with an evil Digimon and almost gets impaled, while also trying to reassure his parents that everything is alright. A lot to bear for a 10-year-old, huh...

And why was he prompted to act in the first place? Not only because he was notified of Raremon being a threat, but also because the Yagami cat went on a stroll with the eighth child's Digivice and lost it several times over.

This episode simply has it all: It has a sense of happiness and peacefulness, it has comedic elements, it has a suspenseful fight and chase scene; the main plot and character development are perfectly intertwined and even though there is so much going on, it doesn't feel rushed, bloated or like anything shouldn't be there. The characters are pretty unreliable narrators while the viewer can see everything that happens - nothing gets resolved in this episode, it consists of a repeated "Almost!", but that is fine, because it contextualizes everything that will happen from now on.

It also tells us so much about the Yagami and Izumi family dynamics, including the fact that the mothers are very familiar with the fact that their sons are close friends who call each other at very odd times...

The adoption topic is rather heavy, not downplayed and presented in a light that makes you hope that all of this will eventually resolve.

It's just very dear to my heart and I would absolutely love a whole anime that deals with all of the kids and their backstories similarly, giving them all temporary main-character status.

Day 7: Fly, On My Love/Free Day

This is my love letter to Digimon.

I've had a lot of ups and downs in my life. Lots of times when I forgot who I was. And when I forgot, I'd always come back to Digimon.

It would honestly be hard for me to be who I am today without Digimon. While Adventure 02 and Frontier were what really resonated with me, Adventure will always have a special place in my heart, solidifying my affection for isekai-hero-adventure stories (which started with Animorphs, moved to Digimon here, and then eventually propelled me into the Persona franchise, but that's a whole novel of a story that is not one to tell now).

Adventure touched me in a way that other cartoons at the time didn't. It introduced me to characters that struggled just like I did and overcame their problems. It introduced me to characters that were 'real' enough that I wished I could have friends like them.

And it gave me an escape I so desperately wanted in my dark childhood.

Nowadays, it is nostalgia, but it's still an adventure. I'm glad to see these 7 young kids that went to camp one summer and live in a digital land to grow up beside me, go to college, question their futures, and continue living past the struggles of their childhood that carried into their adulthood. This anime helped shape who I am now, and is still helping me through my own adulthood as I find my way through art, storytelling, and streaming.

Small shameless plug, but since the 20th anniversary of Digimon, I have been streaming on Twitch a Digimon game every Friday just to continue my adventure as well as bring others along on said adventure. I'm happy to share my love for what touched me as a child and hope that Digimon or myself will be a help to others as Digimon was to me.

That said, just above is my Digimon Adventure PSP Stream Title Card from 2020, which is also my 20th anniversary art for Digimon Adventure.

This is not my last post for Adventure week. I’ll be going above and beyond to answer the Bonus 3 questions over the next 3 days.

Thank you Tai, Agumon, Sora, Biyomon, Yamato, Gabumon, Izzy, Tentomon, Mimi, Palmon, Joe, Gomamon, Takeru, Patamon, Kari, and Tailmon. Thank you Digimon Adventure.

Digimon Adventure Drama CD 3 (Character Song + Mini Drama 3)

The final part in this drama CD trilogy! There are other Digimon Adventure CDs for me to go through, but this is the end of the character song + mini drama collection. So great that these are easily accessible online. I've had a lot of fun going through them.

Download link

The Stolen First Dreams of the Year - Parts 1 & 2

The gang realizes that none of them had a New Year's dream (it's a Japanese tradition to analyze your first dream of the year). Yamato and Takeru go to investigate and Bakumon reveals he ate everyone's dreams! Dun dun dunnnn

Gotta love the totally realistic conversations of people being like "you didn't have a dream either, so weird!" I feel like I don't remember my dreams most nights lol.

I've always known that tapir were associated with dream-eating in Japan (due to anime and video games), but I've never looked up the origins of this. According to Wikipedia the nightmare eating, supernatural "baku" and the tapir are both called "baku," but they're different...but also baku look just like tapir lol. Not confusing at all!

In part 2 of this drama Yamato and Takeru are trapped in Takeru's dream. Takeru is a cat, Patamon's a kite, and Gabumon's a shishimai. I thought it was funny that Takeru had a profound reason for Patamon to be a kite, but Gabumon was a shishimai because...he just kinda looks like one lol

Takeru uses the power of lucid dreaming to defeat Bakumon and escape his dream...that's a pretty obvious weakness

Image Song 1 - Walk on the Edge (Yamato Ishida)

Translation

A very "cool" song for Yamato, very fitting. A lot of it is directed at Taichi, telling him to stop being so hot-headed and just be cool, like Yamato.

I feel like there's some conflicting vibes here because at one point in the lyrics he's like "we're the chosen children, we can do anything!" but then he's like "I'm fine on my own." Kinda jarring that both ends of his arc would be put into one song like that. Like...pick a personality.

I liked that they incorporated his harmonica in the song's intro. Smart.

Image Song 2 - Be All Right (Takeru Takaishi)

Translation

This had a similar vibe to Hikari's song, kinda abstract and hopeful about the future. (Makes sense since Hikari and Takeru become a duo).

I feel like Takeru's voice actress didn't even try to do her character's voice when singing this. It just sounds like some lady lol. In my opinion, when it comes to image songs, I prefer the song to sound more authentic to the character than to sound "good."

The Digimon’s New Year Performance

This was definitely the best gag drama yet! They threw a lot of dumb jokes in there that made me laugh/roll my eyes. Best bits were probably: Gabumon finally taking his fur off (in the AUDIO drama), Tentomon speaking without his accent (cursed), Sora and Joe praising Piyomon and Gomamon for their lame tricks and Hikari judging Tailmon for acting cutesy.

I felt bad for Agumon for being booed, glad he got his revenge at the end lol.

Image Song 3 - Shinka de Guts! (Partner digimon, minus Tailmon)

Translation

This one snuck up on me. It's so cute!! I feel like this is one of those anime songs that make you feel like you can do anything and everything's gonna be alright ;w;

Love hearing the digimon sing. This is what I was talking about in my critique of Takeru's song. I love in-character songs that aren't worried about sounding kinda goofy.

The digimon sing about their power together and their love for their human partners, very wholesome. There were also some lyrics thrown in there about taking it easy and stopping to smell the flowers. Cozy.

Koushiro Week Dates Announcement

Event tag: izumikoushiroweek2023  

Details beneath the cut! <3

How it works: There are no specific daily prompts for Koushiro week. Every day, you can select as many prompts from the prompt ideas list as you'd like, or you can treat every day as a free day! There is only one day with a special theme:

Saturday, October 7 is reblog day! I would love to include everyone in this event, even folks who cannot generate new content- we're all busy, after all! However, please do not reblog any content that has already been reblogged to this event blog. If you forgot what you submitted last year, please check the archive! I will also give our beautiful archive a special post on reblog day!

Current Prompt Ideas

Last year's events had more prompts than anyone could hope to tackle, so I will keep the suggestions! I will also slowly add to them over the following weeks. Please feel free to suggest ideas!

Current Rules

(Both the prompts and rules are subject to change/development. Over the following weeks, I will make a new rules post with the corrected tag and any other necessary tweaks.)

Attention @digievents, thank you as always for your incredible work on behalf of the community <3

And now, in the spirit of Koushiro, a discussion of data! Here are the results of the interest survey!

Thank you all so very much for your responses! Of the 87 Chosen polled, 42 people, or 48% of responders, indicated that they cannot participate. That leaves about 52% of responders, or 45 people, who planned to participate at the time of polling.

When I made the poll, I indicated that I would hold a weekend event if the largest group was, "I can't participate, but I look forward to the entries." There are a lot of incredible events, and folks are busy, so I projected that this group would be the largest!

However, with 45 individuals interested in the event, I worried that smushing all the entries into two days might crowd each entry. Every Koushiro piece deserves to shine, so I compromised on a four day event- essentially a long weekend, plus a reblog day :D I'm hoping that the shorter duration will ensure that no one pushes themselves too much, while still allowing each entry time at the top of the Koushiro Week blog.

I can't wait to celebrate Koushiro and Tentomon with this amazing community! I'll update you with more info as we go, but for now, stay curious, explore everything, and don't forget to sleep and take care of yourself! <3 <3 <3

Partners for the Digimon Frontier Digidestined

In Episode 47, the Digidestined land on the Yellow Moon, courtesy to an attack from the freed Lucemon. There they meet the Baby Digimon and Digimon Eggs they had previously encountered, which had been under Swanmon's protection. And each of the Digidestined picks up a newly hatched Digimon, holding them in their arms. One day, I had the idea of making a list. Based on the Digimon they each picked up, what would each Digidestined's partner be if they had partners instead of Spirits?

I went according to what each Digimon would evolve in according to Wikimon, which contains all kinda official evolutions throughout all the different media (be it Pendulums, games, or whatever). At the same time, I tried to stick to each kid's theme where possible, like electricity for JP and wind for Zoe. Only ones that were impossible were Takuya and Tommy, since none of the Digimon they picked up had anything with ice or fire in their evolution trees.

Also, the Digivices would be the D3 from Adventure 02, cause I like the idea that these partners would also be able to Armor Digivolve - into armor Digimon we didn't see in anime yet as well (or at least not with the 02 kid's Digimon. We got Sagittarimon appearing shortly twice, but I'd loved to see Veemon actually evolve with the Digimental of Hope in an anime).

So, have fun, and if you have any ideas, don't hesitate to let me know with a comment. ;) Enjoy the list!

Takuya

Digivice color: Dark blue

Chibomon - Demiveemon - Veemon - Veedramon - Aero-Veedramon - UlforceVeedramon

It would have been quite tempting to put the evolution line of Davis's Veemon. However, Paildramon and Imperialdramon are Jogress Evolutions, and we don't know what Exveemon would evolve into without Stingmon. Luckily, we have a very cool alternative option in the line of Tai's (probably) Veemon from the V-Tamer manga. So I went with that. Speaking of Tai - it's interesting that they gave him Chibomon and not Botamon/Koromon. The Agumon line would have kept the fire theme. But honestly... I would love to see the Veedramon line in anime one day. Or why not animate V-Tamer?

Koji

Digivice color: Light blue

Poyomon - Tokomon - Patamon - Angemon - MagnaAngemon - Goddramon

What can I say, with him getting a Tokomon...? Of course I had to pick the Angemon line. I only switched up the Mega level, picking Goddramon instead of Seraphimon. For... multiple, sometimes obvious reasons.

Koichi

Digivice color: Dark purple

Poyomon - Tokomon - Tukaimon - BlackGatomon - LadyDevimon - Mastemon

Oooff... my favourite Frontier kid, and he was the hardest to do. I wanted to keep a dark aestetic, since he does have the Spirits of Darkness. And I wanted to do like a dark counterpart to Koji. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of dark colored angel or angel-like Digimon that aren't evil. I think there are even none of those. That's why I was reluctant to pick LadyDevimon, since she usually is an antagonist when she appears in the anime. Isn't the only good LadyDevimon the one from Cyber Sleuth? But I think this is the list I feel most content with from all the option that I checked out. And Mastemon is pretty cool-looking. n.n I also could have gone with a cat aestetic, since, well, AncientSphinxmon, Löwemon and KaiserLeomon, but that worked out pretty badly as well.

Zoe

Digivice color: Pink

Poromon - Hawkmon - Aquilamon - Sylphimon - Valkyriemon

Thank god they gave her Poromon. This made her list pretty easy. I mean, as holder of the Spirit of Winds, what better for her than a bird Digimon? Unfortunately we don't have a proper Ultra Level for Aquilamon, so I had to pick the Jogress Evolution Sylphimon. But I am not sad; it visually fits quite well with Aquilamon, and is also a perfect segway into Valkyriemon.

J.P.

Digivice color: Dark yellow

Motimon - Tentomon - Kabuterimon - Alturkabuterimon Blue - Herakleskabuterimon

Another veery easy pick. Tentomon line. Elektric bug. Need I say more? I only switched Izzy's red Alturkabuterimon its blue variant to pay tribute to the blue in Beetlemon's color pallet.

Tommy

Digivice color: Light yellow

Upamon - Armadillomon - Ankylomon - Shakkoumon - SlashAngemon

No ice for Tommy-boy here. However, I think he'd be very cute with Armadillomon, especially if it were anything like Cody's Armadillmon from 02. Here, I too had to pick the Jogress Evolution Shakkoumon for Ultra Level. But with SlashAngemon as Mega, I don't mind, since Shakkoumon serves as a good segway from earth to steel (and angel).

Ocean Wave, Part 2: A Winding Current

“I was curious.” Dracmon fidgets idly with the little golden loop near the spike on his right wing. “Somethin’ about you drew me in… and I couldn’t walk away. When we fought together, it felt right. More right than anything I’ve ever, ever felt. And now… I just want to be with you.” Dracmon wasn't always by Kaito's side. Which begs the question: part 1 - footprints in the sand Who was he, before the arrival of his other half? part 2 - a winding current And what was he doing, on that fateful day?

Part 2 covers the moment that Dracmon and Kaito met for the first time. once again, tumblr dot shit hides posts with external links in tags, so the ao3 link is in the source.

EDIT: fixed formatting on ao3 - indentation on mobile should look better now. extended authors notes under cut!

SO there was a TON of ideas that went into part 2, mostly stemming from, as i've mentioned, me being mad that kaito and dracmon were the only ones not to get a fancy champion evo sequence on-screen. i said in my authors note on ao3 that as i was playing, i just assumed it happened off-screen, but then i asked myself "what if it didnt?" and the answer i came up with was "maybe dracmon could already innately reach champion" and then i worked backwards from there.

next - aesthetic changes to dracmon. i am a HUGE sucker for digimon being matchies with their partner. before dracmon met kaito, i think all of his eyes were red, both the ones on his face and the ones on his hands, and the ones that are green only became that way after meeting kaito and devolving from sangloupmon. it's kind of like in tamers when beelzemon's eyes change colour after he makes amends with his partners. i also made changes to the accessory situation - after meeting kaito, instead of the little chain with the green gem in the middle, dracmon would have piercings on his wingtips that are the same shape and on the same side as kaito's. i have like... a written list of all aesthetic changes across all stages for all the partner digimon at this point (except for renamon and gabumon - still thinking about those ones) so i will accept any invitation to blabber about them! i LOVE that shit, i cannot emphasize that enough!!

formatting this time was a little less intense - i only had one table i needed to work with, and tbh, most of my formatting issues were about indentation. im actually not really a fan of the standard ao3 formatting patterns, where there's double spacing after each paragraph and no indentation. i much much prefer how it is in most novels, where there's no double spacing and every paragraph is indented. i know people tend to be fussy about formatting in fics, and most of the ones ive seen use the double-spacing no-indenting situation. it's understandable, formatting is something i'm fussy about as well, so im trying to strike a balance between the way i like it and the way i've noticed that most others like it.

i like indenting. i use it to like... give a sense of flow to conversations and/or differentiate/shift between spoken word and narration. the vibe im trying to give when i increase indentation from line to line is that the conversation speed is picking up. im not sure how well that was conveyed, but i think it works all right.

once again, like in alligators, i left some deliberate loose ends. the most obvious one is "if that first tether pulling dracmon toward the ocean wasn't kaito, then what was it?" and listen. dont even worry about it (:

as im replaying the game, im noticing some really interesting stuff about the state of the digital world. in like...part 7, i think, there's an optional free time event where you can recruit a tentomon, and it mentions that a lot of other digimon have been behaving aggressively lately. paired with the fog, i think that what's happening is that the shrinking digital world is causing a lot of digimon to have to live in close quarters, and that a lot of them are "young" in the sense that they're still feral and incapable of speech or reason. that, plus the continuous spread of the fog, would make for a really hostile environment for the remaining areas of the world. im quite happy with the theory i've got that digimon might sometimes lose a bit of memory every time they regenerate. if you subscribe to that idea, the unusual aggression among the wild digimon makes a lot of sense - they're all young, they all keep getting exploded and forgetting what's going on, theres this terrifying fucking fog EVERYWHERE, which just feeds back into wild digimon being more on-edge, and therefore more aggressive. thats why tsumemon is a little unsure of hanging out with koromon at first in part 1 - it's a dangerous world for little guys!

this is kinda connected to why i have the digimon half of the cast crossing paths with one another. tsumemon and koromon have met, yeah, (even though they don't remember anymore) but also i think a few of the other characters have met too. i didn't linger on it, but kunemon was in part one of ocean wave , albeit very briefly, trying to warn dracmon about seadramon lol. Now Why Would He Do That? again. don't worry about it (:

and at last - what's next? i mentioned in another text post a few days ago that ideally id like to go back to some shuuji and lopmon stuff. ocean wave set up some context about a couple of things i want to explore about shuuji and lopmon's relationship, as well as some . hmm. alternate events. and what effect those alternate events have on the two of them. "what do you mean" dont worry (: mostly it is just me self-indulgently fixing a few gripes i had with truthful route's part 6. i'd also at some point like to post some doodles of aesthetic changes. i have a few sketched out but they're very messy lol

anyway wow this was a big ol comment post. thanks for reading this far !!

Just a Digimon Adventure 2020 Post about The TaiShiro Moments

(Sub)

I love how Taichi and Koushiro are both shown to think highly of the other. Taichi even brags about how smart koushiro is sometimes, its so wholesome.

Everytime the group gets separated, the first person Taichi tries to call is almost always Koushiro.

and in the first episode Koushiro meets up with the rest of the group in the digital world, Taichi's face immediately lights up.

Like if anything happens ever, Koushiro usually addresses Taichi right away. Between Him and Tentomon, both are the ones checking in on Koushiro and making sure he's doing okay.

Specific moments from episode 36:

"but there's only 20 minutes left"

"that's more than enough"

"we won't know unless we try right?" Taichi believing in his ability.

"but--"

"there's no time left, lets go"

"alright, I'll support you!"

Then

"Let's go, koushiro!"

"R-Right!"

Then

Koushiro, you have to do this!"

"me!? No way! I can support you, but I can't--"

"koushiro"

"I leave it to you."

"Taichi-san..."

"I'm counting on you."

*kou hesitates*

"Right!"

"Go, Kosuhiro!"

AND THEN KOUSHIRO THINKING ABOUT HOW HE HAS ATLURKABUTERIMON, AND THEN SPECIFICALLY THINKS BACK TO WHAT TAICHI SAID TO HIM IN EPISODE 3 BEFORE THINKING OF EVERYONE ELSE TOO-

It was also just great to see Koushiro feeling good about his own ability- especially with this music at the end, damn.

episode 43 was funny.

They call eachother like, every episode to see how it's going.

Episode 59

So when they get that trial wrong, Taichi is taken, and [digimon] says he's gonna undergo surgery to become a digimon.

Taichi just smiles and says "Nah don't worry about me guys, I leave the rest to you Koushiro."

Then Koushiro blames himself for whats gonna happen to taichi.

And whiole all this is going on, we know taichi is worried about how the other is handling it right now, since he's under a lot of stress.

Bro koushiro looked so sad.

and then tentomon always believes in koushiro, always. which is exactly what he needs

EDIT

SO THE ENGLISH DUB JUST CAME OUT A FEW DAYS AGO AND IVE WATCHED (at least the episode with TaiShiro moments) SOME OF IT AND I HAVE MORE THINGS TO SAY

So let’s start from the top once again

(Dub)

Episode 1’s script for the most part is unchanged :)

However, there is the changes to the names.

While in the original Tai was just ‘Tai’, this time his full name is Taichi, and Tai is just a nickname. His last name though has still been changed to Kamiya instead of Yagami.

Koushiro actually does keep his Japanese name in the English dub! But this time ‘Izzy’ is also just a nickname. Of course, he retains his last name ‘Izumi’ like he did in the original English dub.

ANYWAY ANYWAY

one of my favourite bits from episode 1, is when Koushiro is showing Taichi his timeline, and Taichi goes something like:

(I actually posted the clip here)

“Well..I’m really bad at that stuff. You’re awesome, Koushiro!”

And Kou seems surprised and caught off guard by the complement, before quickly turning his attention back to his tablet in embarrassment and saying:

“Y-You can just call me Izzy—!”

And we know later in the dub, that Koushiro prefers being alone, which also suggests he doesn’t have many friends, or doesn’t go out of his way to make any. He doesn’t really like being around people. So we can guess that before Taichi, the only people that call him Izzy are his parents.

So Koushiro giving Taichi express permission to call him Izzy, especially for Koushiro, is something special and significant, even if Taichi doesn’t know this.

I will absolutely be adding onto this in the future

I decided to design and draw armour digivolutions for the original Adventure digimon! Most of these took inspiration from the main Adventure 02 armours (mainly in that they're the original rookie's body stretched to fit the armour, as well as the general inspirations from each), but they do have their own inspirations! I've listed my thought processes below

Nykusmon (agumon armour) is inspired by various carnivorous dinosaurs, particularly velociraptors, making a faster alternative to the more bulky Greymon. The name comes from Nykus, meaning claw, a word that's used commonly in dinosaur names (thanks @frippp for name help!)

Guisemon (gabumon armour) is mostly based on replacing gabumon's pelt with armour, with a more Raidramon-like stance. I attempted to fold in some Garurumon bits, but idk if that's clear. The name comes from disguise, unsurprisingly.

Irismon (biyomon armour) is inspired by Biyomon's want to fly and become Birdramon, so I turned the armour into a glider and extended its leg ring into a pair of leg guards. I also decided to make the crest on the headpiece red like the original Crest of Love instead of the purple on the egg. The name comes from Iris, the greek goddess of rainbows and a messenger goddess, and keeping up the 'deity' theme the love armours seem to have.

Kusanagimon (palmon armour) doesn't really have a deep inspiration, I took mostly armour parts from Shurimon and also gave it a blade because swords are cool, and I used the shurikens as replacements for palmon's flower, as well as giving its tail some decoration that I felt it needed. The name comes from Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, the legendary sword.

Polkamon (tentomon armour) takes a lot of inspiration from Digmon, but I did turn its eyes into night vision goggles which would be very useful underground. The name comes from polkadots, which I find very funny that this big bulky 'mon with drills for spots is named for something cute.

Nyormon (gomamon armour) is my favourite, based on a viking longship. I turned the arrow markings on the egg and submarimon into the shields normally depicted on longships, and attempted to turn the front legs into oars. It's named for Njörðr, the norse god associated with the sea and seafaring.

But what of the Adventures that is canon in Tamers was written by one of the Survive kids.

Different factors of the kids could have gotten into each one of the Adventure's protags.

Off top my head:

Takuma's goggles and partner on Tai

Kaito's interest in music (is that canon I don't know where that's from-) in Matt; along with the sibling bond. Miu may have negotiated them being separated.

Saki being the general inspiration for Mimi, along with Aoi and Sora.

Minoru's personality went into Tai; Takuma didn't think his own personality would mesh well with a hero leader.

Shuuji took main point for Joe, though his friends quietly took notice that the character had a seemingly better relationship with his elder brothers.

Ryo either bowed out of the creation process or helped with Shuuji's parts, keeping whatever lingering self-doubt/hate over his treatment of Lopmon from bleeding into Joe and Gomamon's relationship. He also suggested Tentomon, remembering the little guy caught in a web.

Miu did a lot of work on everything but the humans, but she has splashes of herself in the younger siblings of the group. She mainly thought up and suggested the partners (Patamon, Palmon, and Biyomon were all suggested because of the kids at the park.) as well as scenery.

Akiharu had a partner suggestion of his own, Gomamon, the little guys who helped save him previously. He almost suggested Gabumon as a partner as well, but chickened in the end. His knowledge on Kenogami, or Digimon, were funneled into Izzy.

Miyuki was the one to suggest Agumon and Gabumon be the partners for the 'leader' and 'rival' characters. After a bit of mulling over, the group agreed, with Miu mentioning Omnimon could be used for a plot somewhere down the line (none of the group find it strange that they can't exactly remember *how* Agumon got that form, or why Gabumon needed to be there, but they stopped questioning things like that a while ago). The group made Kari as a nod to Miyuki, though she herself wasn't involved besides giving her blessing.

No idea who suggested Gatomon as a partner, but her character arc took hints from Renamon's actions in the later part of their Survival.

You're so big brained I love this ToT

I know Aoi has some interest in music? Idk about Kaito but there are so many optional dialogues and route specific scenes even 140 hours later I doubt I know everything about everyone lol

I really love the idea of them just KNOWING something from the Moral Route but not knowing why

Just like a collective "That's a thing right? But that never happened...so we do we all know it? I don't wanna think about it anymore."

Digimon Adventure / 02 / tri. / Last Evolution: Kizuna / “2020:” (Reboot Series) A.M.V. [Preview] ~ “rob0t” b0y (Robot Boy) [As this is technically still a preview, it is Un-finished {For now}] featuring DUO/O.T.P.: ~ Koushiro Izumi + KouTai {Koushiro x Taichi} / KouTai / Taishiro (& side/e.t.c {YamaKouTai)}; as friendly) [+Izumi Family; & Tentomon] MUSIC (C) Linkin Park Digimon Adventure{s} (C) Toei Animation {Some minimal Koushiro-spoiler[s] for Tri & 2020} (mainly Koushiro focus eps) [& Kizuna end credits!Koushiro at end]

{Lyrics + Commentary under the ‘read more’!}

Commentary:

Other Digimon Adventure & 02 fans often ask me “why” Koushiro Izumi (known as “Izzy” in the U.S. dub, he’s mainly and very specifically intended as “Koushiro” here - but I love “Izzy” too, so!) is one of my top favorite Chosen Children, (if not my MOST favorite) “even” within his CANON storyline, in all versions of the series. This A.M.V. is probably the closest you’ll get to a ‘full’ answer from me. On a side note, June 18th is actually Autism Pride Day! (Though I was intending this A.M.V. to be for the August 1st anniversary...) As an ‘ActuallyAutistic’ fan-works creator, I’ll be glad if other fans can enjoy this A.M.V. when they ask me “why” I appreciate this character so much, on a personal level.

Because that’s something that can be pretty hard to explain in words, but maybe it shows through at least a little here.

This A.M.V. took about 10 full hours to make in total, and it contains about 117 clips (not including the last couple of clips.) The second to last clip (after the song) contains a scene from Digimon Adventure “2020:” Episode 36 (Un-subbed, I’m adding that later) (which also appears throughout the A.M.V., among the start of “2020:”) The “2020:” ending episodes’ (namely Ep. 66)’s Koushiro scenes relevancy are also used in some spots, though the final battle itself is not seen much outside those. There are some Tri spoilers from the middle and ends of the 3rd & 6th parts, especially, but again, the most major of final battles is not shown frequently (only a single post-battle moment, but it does imply some things.)

(I’m also including a lot of cross-canon ‘Parallels’ I’ve noticed in this Can you note/find them all?)

(Note: replying/Tags that are positive/respectful are ok!)

You say you're not gonna fight 'Cause no one would fight for you

And you think there's not enough love And no one to give it to And you're sure you've hurt for so long You've got nothing left to lose So you say you're not gonna fight 'Cause no one would fight for you You say the weight of the world Has kept you from letting go And you think compassion's a flaw And you'll never let it show And you're sure you've hurt in a way That no one will ever know But someday the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go Hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go So hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go So hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go Just hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go...

[digimon-adventure-screentime]

Episode 16: Dark Evolution! SkullGreymon

Spooky scary skeleton time

It goes without saying that the other Greymon that Taichi's Greymon fights doesn't count for the latter's screentime. SkullGreymon does though, since he is still the Agumon we know and love. Just a little corrupt.

Some tidbits: Jou is the second to cross the one hour mark! I think this is the first episode to have Taichi and Agumon so close, at only 3,4 seconds difference. They really did give a LOT of focus on SkullGreymon. Also noting how Yamato, Mimi and Takeru also have very little difference from their respective partners, with Palmon even surpassing Mimi for just a little less than a second. Though not because they were framed together all the time, with the exception of Takeru, who was holding Tokomon in his arms 99% of the time; it was only in one instance that he wasn’t holding him, and the little difference left was because we were only seeing Takeru’s back and Tokomon was hidden by him.

Evolution sequences screentime: 14 seconds for Agumon (his evolution to SkullGreymon isn't included here, as it's not shown with the typical evolution sequence, and it's instead counted towards Agumon's overall screentime), 09,86 for Gabumon, 14 for Piyomon, 14 for Tentomon Total character screentime: 12:43,16 Full group screentime: 01:20,60

Tai Kamiya: Zeno Robinson

Matt Ishida: AJ Beckles

Sora Takenouchi: Cherami Leigh

Izzy Izumi: Anne Yatco

Mim Tachikawa: Suzie Yeung

Joe Kido: Daman Mills

T.K. Takaishi: Corina Boettger

Kari Kamiya: Ryan Bartley

Gabumon: Dave B. Mitchell

Biyomon: Tara Sands

Tentomon: Christopher Swindle

Palmon: Corina Boettger

Gomamon: Alex Cazares

Patamon: Lizzie Freeman

Gatomon: Erine Yvette

Notable roles the voice actors are known for (in my opinion):

Zeno Robinson as "Tai": 

My main take-away here is "Hunter" from The Owl House (since I just binged that and the trauma is real) and "Go" from Pokémon Journey's, but he already did a lot of amazing things and I love him.

AJ Beckles as "Matt": 

Most notably for me was "Hop" from Pokémon Journey's - and generally the fact that we will hear a loooot of recent Pokémon voices.

Cherami Leigh as Sora: 

Okay, her list is INSANELY long and I absolutely cannot wait to listen to her, this is some pretty amazing stuff we have right here and she deserves it:

"Asuna" from Sword Art Online

"Sailor Venus/Minako Aino" from Sailor Moon Viz Dub/Crystal/Eternal/Cosmos (MORE SAILOR MOON CONNECTIONS!!!)

"Chloe" from Pokémon Journey's 

"Michiru" from Brand New Animal

"Miyo Sasaki" from "A Whisker Away" (which is amazing, since Natsuki Hanae plays her love interest in Japanese)

"Alina Grey" from Magia Record 

"Tome Kurata" from Mob Psycho 100

"Sarada Uchiha" from Boruto 

MOST INTERESTINGLY: "Maki Himekawa" AND "Piyomon" in Digimon Adventure Tri, so we have old ties after all!

Anne Yatco as "Izzy":

Gaaaaaah, I reallly cannot wait to listen to her. Again, happy that we got a voice actress for him again and that she did a fair share of female AND also boyish roles (even though I am not really familiar with the latter). 

"Kinemi Miki" from Blue Period 

"Nobara Kugisaki" from Jujutsu Kaisen 

"Sabine Cheng" from Miraculous Ladybug 

Suzie Yeung as Mimi: 

She actually did a lot, I just didn't KNOW a lot... 

"Makima" from Chainsaw Man 

Young "Kyou Soma" from the Fruits Basket reboot

Daman Mills as "Joe": 

He also did a lot I didn't know, but again, reeeeeally exciting stuff.

"Yotasuke Takahashi" in Blue Period 

"Kaworu Nagisa" in the Neon Genesis Evangelion Rebuild series (that made me scream again, since they gave him Yamato's VA's in German)

"N" in Pokémon Masters (also other minor roles in Pokémon, not surprising)

Corina Boettger as "T.K." AND Palmon: 

"Tatsumaki" from One Punch Man

"Sailor Tin Nyanko" from Sailor Moon Stars

"Meiyui Chun" from Magia Record

Ryan Bartley as "Kari": 

"Ram" from Re:Zero 

"Allister" from Pokémon Journey's

"Sana Futaba" from Magia Record 

"Candice" and "Corinna" from Pokémon Masters 

"Angela" from Carole & Tuesday 

"Takane Tsubomi" from Mob Psycho 100 

"Yusa / Misa" from Charlotte

"Rei Ayanami" from the Neon Genesis Evangelion re-dub (THIS CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD THE MOST)

tbc.

Koushiro Week 2022 - Day 1: Tentomon

Days: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Title: Longing Characters: Koushiro Izumi, Kae Izumi, Tentomon, Mimi Tachikawa and Megumi Izumi (OC), with short appearences of Agumon, Gabumon and Piyomon. Summary: Five moments between Koushiro and Tentomon throughout the years. Note: The scene were Koushiro manages to bring Gabumon, Piyomon and Agumon back has sequels on Oretachi (last scene, written for Yamato's week) and You And Me (also last scene, written for Sora's week). In case you want to read them: Part 2 | Part 3

Everything seemed so... empty. I didn’t think it was possible to feel such thing until I went through it. I knew my adventures with the other seven children would be over eventually, but all I wanted was to be able to go back to the Digital World and see Tentomon again. “Koushiro?” My mother knocked on my door gently. “Are you awake?” “Yes, mom.” I replied, still lying down on my bed. “Come in.” “How are you feeling, sweetie?” She spoke softly as she walked inside my bedroom. “I miss Tentomon and the Digital World.” I admitted, looking at her and giving her a small smile. “But I’ll be fine, I promise.” “I wish there was a way to make things less painful for you.” She sat on my bed. “I’m very sorry you had to say goodbye to each other. I know how much he means to you.” “I keep expecting him to come flying from the window, but I know he won’t.” “Aww, darling.” My mother sat closer to me and put her arms around me. “Wherever he is, I know he’s thinking of you. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before you are reunited again.” “You think so?” “Of course. Such a good friendship can’t get lost like this. Everyone could see the strong connection you two had. That’s very rare and should be cherished.” “So you don’t think it’s strange to be friends with a virtual animal?” “Not at all.” She looked at me. “He’s not just a virtual animal to you. He’s a very dear friend and I’m very glad you found him.” “Mom.” I said in a tearful tone. “This means a lot coming from you.” “I have to admit I miss him too. I never got the chance to thank him for taking care of you and everything he did to you.” “Everything he did to me?” “You may not have noticed, but you’re a different boy now. It’s a positive change and it makes me very happy.” “Mom!” I threw myself into her arms and hugged her. “I’m so sorry for disappearing without telling you.” “Disappearing? I don’t remember that.” She said in a light tone. “There’s nothing to apologize for, sweetheart. You saved the world. I should be the one thanking you. In fact, I know just exactly what we should do.” “What?” “Me and your father are taking you out for dinner.” “Mom, really, you don’t have to. I don’t want you to waste money on me.” “It’s not a waste of money, Koushiro. We’re going to celebrate and also spend some time together. And if you want, you can go to the arcade.” “Thank you, mom.” “No need to thank me.” She gave me a smile. “I love you so much, sweetie.” “I love you too.” “Dinner is ready.” She stood up and looked at me. “You don’t have to eat right now if you don’t want it. I’ll put it on the oven when we finish.” “That’s okay.” I jumped out of my bed and walked to her, reaching out for her hand. “I’m starving, actually.” “I’m relieved to hear that. I was thinking you weren’t eating that much and was worried about it. I bet Tentomon would be too, if he was here.” “He most certainly would. He would keep insisting I should eat more.” I stated and then laughed.

Keep reading it on FFN or AO3

Digimon Adventure 02 Best Partner Series - Part 1

More image songs! This time for Adventure 02, but I'm starting out with the older kids. I had a lot of fun listening to all of these. They really went all out this time. 12 CDs with 3 songs each (solo human, solo digimon & partner duet)!? Madness!

Taichi & Agumon

New Sun - Taichi (listen here - subbed)

Taichi singing to Daisuke (or maybe the whole new squad) about how they're taking over the original kids' legacy. The lyrics make him sound very wise.

Took me a second to adjust and picture Taichi singing this because his VA kinda sounds like a granny lol

This had very "Mufasa talking to Simba" vibes. The chorus was catchy and empowering.

Agumon Ondo - Agumon (listen here - subbed)

Agumon singing about how he needs/wants to eat a bunch to grow big and strong. Also, apparently he dances to help digestion lol.

Agumon talking to random kids during the song and then having them sing along was adorable. Also made me feel old.

Team - Taichi & Agumon duet (listen here + translation here)

A very generic song about how Agumon and Taichi make a great team, but it's always charming to hear digimon/partner duets.

Yamato & Gabumon

The Key to Granting Wishes - Yamato (listen here - subbed)

A cheesy shounen song about following your heart and friendship and what not. Comparing it to Yamato's image song from the first season, you can see he's grown past his emo, lone wolf phase.

Wasn't crazy about the song itself, but the music was great, especially the guitar solo. Had a nice bombastic intro too.

It's Alright - Gabumon (listen here & translation here)

Gabumon singing about his bond with Yamato. They both hide behind facades (Yamato's coolness, Gabumon's fur) and are misunderstood. I feel like this was a lot stronger as a character song than Yamato's solo song.

Gabumon's one of the quieter digimon so hearing him sing is a treat!

Our Melody - Yamato & Gabumon duet (listen here & translation here)

A touching (and CHEESY) ballad between Yamato and Gabumon about all the good times they've had together. It had strong drunken karaoke vibes haha.

Although cheesy, the lyrics did warm my heart a bit :') I think digimon/partner bonds get to me more than human/human bonds.

Koushiro & Tentomon

Open Mind - Koushiro (listen here - subbed)

Meh, not a fan of this one. I felt like the lyrics were clunky and didn't flow well with the song's melody.

The song is about Koushiro learning new things about himself and his emotions through his journey in the digital world. Even though I didn't like it, I'm happy to hear Koushiro's voice again :')

Dengeki Rhapsody - Tentomon (listen here - subbed)

Tentomon 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ I love him so much. This song was really cute and plucky. Basically just Tentomon singing about being a good partner and appreciating Koushiro.

The only thing that bugged me (hehe) about this one is that it implied that Tentomon is always obsessing over food but like...I don't remember that ever happening?

The Scenery of the World! - Koushiro & Tentomon duet (listen here - subbed)

Another banger! Mostly just because I love these two and relate to Koushiro's passion so much. He's singing about how excited he is to absorb all of the world's knowledge and to see the whole world with Tentomon. Koushiro would make a good librarian haha. I too have strong urges to learn everything ever (currently reading every page of Wikipedia).

Tentomon's part of the song is kind of exasperated but in a loving way. He sings about how Koushiro is always staying up late glued to his computer, but that he'll still always stick by his side and pep him up when he gets tired. So wholesome <3

Joe & Gomamon

Towards the Wind - Joe (listen here - subbed)

A lot of these solo songs have the same, general theme about growing as a person. I wonder if the vibe will be different for the younger 02 kids?

I liked the mellow vibe of this song. A nice, easy listen. Joe definitely has the most mature vibes of the gang, despite being dweeby.

Invincible Flutter Kick - Gomamon (listen here - subbed)

Gomamon singing about how helpless Joe is and how he'll always be them to protect him and lighten his load. So cute :3

News to me that Gomamon has an "invincible flutter kick" lol. I mean, I can picture it, but usually he just summoned fish.

Crawl the Sky - Joe & Gomaon duet (listen here - subbed)

Joe and Gomamon singing about their unlikely friendship. They balance each other out. I kind of wish the chorus wasn't the usual, cheesy "we can do anything if we're together!" lines. The first part of the song was a little stronger when they were comparing each other's characters.

These songs are making me wish I had a little buddy to explore the world with :'(

Mimi & Palmon

Super☆Girl - Mimi (Listen here - subbed)

Mimi singing about her personal growth. It was a pretty generic, motivational song about being brave to be yourself and not fear mistakes.

I do really enjoy how unabashedly girly Mimi is and her songs always reflect that.

A Little Pinkie's Fantasy - Palmon (Listen here - subbed)

This one was just weird. The lyrics were super awkward. I think they're alluding to a pinky promise when Palmon talks about a "pinkie's fantasy," but the metaphor doesn't really work. Also the line about glittering lips also seems like a non-sequitur.

I've never been a huge Palmon fan, so I think that's mostly why this one was no good for me. (She's also a little tone deaf lol).

Happy Smile - Mimi & Palmon (Listen here - subbed)

It's nice to hear a song where Mimi and Palmon are talking about their friendship cuz Mimi could honestly be kinda nasty to Palmon in the anime lol.

Some of the lyrics in this were a little clunky (they basically said stuff like "fun things are fun!" "Smiling is nice!" "Pretty things are good!") but I liked the sentiments about distance not weakening their bond. That resonates with me as an adult who doesn't have many opportunities to see my friends in person.

Sora & Piyomon

Shiny Days - Sora (Listen here - subbed)

Uhhh I think mostly this one was just poorly translated because it was literally like a word salad. Like, read the lyrics here (or in the video subs) and you'll see they straight up make no sense --> https://www.animelyrics.com/anime/digi02/shinydays.htm

Sora is my least favorite Adventure character so it checks out that here song kinda sucks lol (sorry).

Wait this song has the same title as the Yuru Camp opening!

My Music Score - Piyomon (Listen here - subbed)

A nice straightforward song about Piyomon's love for Sora. I like how they incorporated her name into the song with all the "pipipi" and "piyo piyo." Very cute.

If We Fly Together - Sora & Piyomon (Listen here - subbed)

I feel like there was some nice harmonizing on this one. I hope the VAs had fun haha

The lyrics in this one were sweet. I especially liked this line about "telling each other secrets we hide from the stars." That really illustrates Sora and Piyomon's close bond.
