Digimon Adventure 02 ~ {United States of America Chosen} ~ {Personal} Favorite Supporting Character{s} Steve & Frigimon {+Bonus New York Chosen Children Group} + Daisuke Motomiya + Mimi Tachikawa (+Satoe & Keisuke Tachikawa) & Michael (also technically a U.S. Chosen) "We couldn't have done it without you {Daisuke}." - Steve

Image usage rules + original commentary under the ‘read more’! {Along with another, not Steve specific, but maybe significant "Kizuna spoiler"}

"...That was on December 25th at 3 A.M., local time." (Narrator)

Notes: In the books released post-series production and 02's conclusion, Steve was revealed to be the very first confirmed Jewish American Chosen Child, a significant step forward for the Digimon franchise, as it acknowledged the Jewish community living in real-world America.

Because Steve is Jewish, Steve would have been personally celebrating Hanukkah that year, not Christmas (hence I left out the last subtitle referencing Christmas to prevent confusion).

Chanukah in 2002, when 02 officially takes place, however, was November 29th ~ December 7th, and these scenes took place closer to Dec. 25th (early 3 A.M.). But that doesn't mean Steve, as a Jewish American, wouldn’t have noted Hanukkah (or Chanukah) at all earlier that year, and it’s good to note that when we're discussing potentials of 02′s “real-world based” “timeline”!

(Basically, what Steve is doing here is joining in on, via being invited by being a Chosen Child who is able and willing to help, an Interfaith gathering of individuals that was originally meant to simply send corrupted by virus Digimon back into the Digital World, and was not actually a "holiday" focused gathering initially!) :) {If Steve joins them after the fact is unknown, but either way, Steve would have to be invited and it would have to be acknowledged that Steve as an individual does not celebrate Christmas religiously.}

In the scenes above, Steve is one of only two U.S. Chosen that are also given spoken lines to personally thank and acknowledge Daisuke Motomiya's help (along with the rest, but also specifying Daisuke). {Michael aside, as even Michael doesn't get to comment verbally.}

BONUS:

^ Though Steve can't be seen clearly in the shot, in the 'gathering' of Chosen Children including many International ones, a Frigimon can very clearly be seen on left. As other Chosen from the World Tour are included here, it is almost defintely Steve's Frigimon, and either Steve is somewhere in the background but off-screen, or Steve and Frigimon were somehow separated...

Hanukkah this year, 2024, in comparison, Actually will be on December 25th, beginning at sundown; but it will also last until January 2nd, at sundown!! (So, if you want to place a similar fic around 2024, where they will all be gathered at 'similar' timeframes, this year would be a good year for that timeline-wise.) {However, January 7th specifically will be on a Sunday, which is too late for Shabbat, as Shabbat ends at sundown on Saturdays.} You can still place a Shabbat meal around the 5th~6th though!

For future dates, you can check this link too! Please always check Hebrew calender dates first (and double-check to be sure!!) before attempting to write a Jewish holiday or Jewish character into any of your fic/worldbuilding universes, in order to portray us with genuine respect!!

Since Russians celebrate Christmas on January 7th, I always assumed one of the Russian Digidestined was Jewish and that dinner we saw the main three having was a Shabbat dinner, or maybe one of them had the others over for a quaint little Hanukkah dinner post Digimon crisis.

(Kenta note: According to my spellcheck Shabbat is spelled wrong, but since I don’t know otherwise, I’m leaving it as is.)

Digimon Adventure 02 (Blind Watch) - Episode 40

Damn! This was a lot to take in. I really enjoyed it despite the information overload. Loved seeing the international digi-destined/chosen children. Yeah, they were very stereotypical, but nothing really offensive, I thought they were pretty wholesome and cute. This episode was mainly focused on New York and Hong Kong with some other areas of the world thrown in in the background (and space lol, that's was a nice touch). Totally down for this 3-parter (got a little spoiled by the DVD menu).

Digimon introduced: Syakomon, Flareizamon, Gorillamon, Octomon, Apemon

Notes:

-So...some questions. Imperialdramon can breath in space apparently (or maybe he's flying so fast he doesn't need to breathe?) Also, the main kids' digimon made it clear that they only speak Japanese. So like...are digimon programmed to speak the language of their partner? Is it regional? Maybe it's like how if I buy an Alexa in Japan it'll come out of the box speaking Japanese. I wonder if digimon are capable of learning other languages...or if Koushiro could tweak their programming.

-So Michael's a digi-destined AND his dad's a movie star? How main character can one kid be!?

-Okay so new squad members:

New York digi-destined: Tatum (Airdramon), Maria (Centarumon), Lou (Tortomon), Steve (Frigimon), Sam/Phil (Flareizamon)

Hong Kong digi-destined: The Poi Brothers (Syakomon), Yue Hong (Apemon), Dien (Gorillamon)

India digi-destined: Mina

They're all so cute! The American team kinda gave me Captain Planet vibes with the diversity. As a Latina, I was excited to see Maria <3 Also, it's a cool idea to have triplet kids with matching digimon (the Poi brothers).

-Omg Syakomon's design is adorable! They look like a Polly Pocket :D

-It was cool to see different digimon partners, most of them being digimon the main kids have fought before. I kind of wish we got to see more of them in their rookie forms like we did for Syakomon.

-Why does Palmon get to evolve to Lilymon but Michael's Betamon only goes to champion level? With Benjamin there I would think everyone would power up, but I guess that's too much effort for the animators lol. (Either that or Betamon hasn't achieved a higher digivolution yet...)

-Loving the chilly winter vibes on this chilly winter day. Seeing anime characters bundled up makes me feel better about the cold.

-What is this Creation of Adam pose? Lol suddenly Hikari's in a renaissance painting with Angewomon. (No wonder the Poi brothers fell for her)

-Yue kinda seems like a badass, wish we could have seen more of her.

-Mysterious ending with Mummymon creepin' on a little boy. Nice eerie setup to entice me to watch on. It's funny how drastically everything's improved now that we've dropped the previous arc.

Digimon Adventure 02 ~ Japanese Version ~ Episode 40 + 2001 Chosen (+Timeline Notes) / Lore + Daisuke Motomiya + U.S. Chosen Child Michael (& Mimi Tachikawa)

"By the way, what are the other American Chosen like? Are they Chosen from 2001, like you?" - Daisuke

"Some are from 2001, and some aren't. I've met some but not others." - Michael, pleasantly

"I see... I want to meet them soon!" - Daisuke, happily "Yeah!" - Vmon, agreeing cheerfully

"{You'll meet them in a bit.}" - Mimi, cheerily

{Note: In this scene, as it was from the "02" series made in and released around 2000~2001, Daisuke is specifically referring to the team of Chosen Children consisting of characters: Sam {"Phil" in U.S. dub to prevent confusion with "Sam Ichijouji" who was originally named "Osamu";} & Flare Lizamon, Maria and Centalmon, Lou and Tortamon, Steve and Yukidarumon {Frigimon in U.S. Dub}, and Tatum and Airdramon, that appeared within this episode.}

Feb. 29, '88:

"First Print of Rashi (1475) Rashi, the most basic commentary on the Torah, was printed for the first time, in {Reggio di Calabria}. In this print, the commentary on the Five Books of Moses, authored in the 11th century by Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, was not on the same page as the text of the Scriptures, as it is normally printed today.

This was the first time that the rounded Hebrew font was used, the font which has since become known as "Rashi Letters.""

Feb. 29, '92:

"Bless New Month

This Shabbat is Shabbat Mevarchim (“the Shabbat that blesses" the new month): a special prayer is recited blessing the Rosh Chodesh ("Head of the Month") of the upcoming month of Adar II, which occurs next {Thurs.} and {Fri.}.

Prior to the blessing, we announce the precise time of the molad, the "birth" of the new moon. See molad times." [...]

Meanwhile with Steve & Frigimon {of series: D i g i m o n 02} #TheBeginningSpoilers

Frigimon (Yukidarumon); Steve calls it "Frigimon" when at home: So, "That" one says they made us - or more like, 'you' - a Chosen to "befriend" "that other one"... Steve, low laughing under breath: "It" may have "said" that, but it's definitely wrong. Frigimon: Oh? You seem to have a strong feeling about this... (but it's expected of my partner). Steve, voice returning to normal 'cheery' tone: The thing it doesn't know is that I initially messaged Koushiro of my own volition. Frigimon: But it claims it 'made' you all do that... Steve: And again, it's definitely wrong... because it also doesn't know - or even understand why - how Koushiro initially reacted to me, much less the others in our group. Frigimon: Oh?? (Curious) (Tell Me More, Steve) Steve, swivelling around in chair: Koushiro rambled and info-dumped about different types of systems and coding for a solid ten or so messages back-and-forth before I finally clued Koushiro in more deliberately that I knew about "you all". STEVE: AND, at the start, Koushiro was hesitant to actually talk more to us about it all, even though we made it clear we all mostly knew since "that battle". Frigimon: But Koushiro came around because you were persistent? Steve, laughing: It's not so much "persistence" as "something that naturally fell into place" once I got more of a 'feel' of what Koushiro was like. Koushiro sounds extremely analytical on the 'Net, but apparently is also super formal in person, just in ...different ways. Frigimon: So, you're saying you didn't "pursue" Koushiro but couldn't the "naturally falling into place" still mean-- Steve, shaking head: No, not that either. Steve: Because I also initially wasn't sure if Koushiro actually wanted to be my "friend". Frigimon: ... Steve, clasping hands: Even if it could do everything that 'new' Chosen said, it doesn't understand that these aren't things you can "force". And even if it could, I wouldn't acknowledge it, because it's not a part of my culture... So it's not relevant to me. Frigimon, hmmng: The other monsters "like that" must really dislike us, then. Steve, quirking eyebrow with a grin: "Us"? Frigimon: Well, I don't like those notions, either. I can't really imagine myself being partnered to anyone not you, nor for any other "reason". Steve: ... Steve, quietly: {Thanks.} Frigimon: ... (After all, it is us.)
