- slight Tri spoilers through to “Our Future” (Movie #6) are in here - HOWEVER they are mostly super-short “aesthetic”-like scenes ( in amv ) - regardless, they do contain some slight plot spoilers re: significant moments - in this amv, more specifically, a certain Taichi moment

- short version of implied story/plot of this series: T I M E L O O P S - Tri is here because … ah … … - let’s just say it’s probably AT LEAST ONE part of the “start” of it all ah - KOUSHIRO IZUMI VOICE : ( ‘ W H Y ’ ) - DO THEY MAKE IT TO THE END - @ TAICHI & KOUSHIRO, ARE YOU SURE YOU /WANT/ TO ——- - TBH HOW MUCH do KOUSHIRO or TAICHI even REALLY REMEMBER - MUCH LESS THE REST OF THEM - who even knows after a certain point anymore - timeloops are fun !! ! ! ( this particular AMV also explains SOME of it … )

- BRIEF AMV-SPECIFIC STORY DESCRIPTION:

TAICHI & WARGREYMON DEFEAT MUGENDRAMON, AND THEN …

TAICHI kind of … uh … acidentally, THE TIMELINES … ( GREAT JOB TAICHI )

Gennai to RYO AKIYAMA: In the summer of 1999, Taichi, Yamato, and the others, along with Agumon and others, came to save the Digital World. The Digital World became peaceful after the defeat of Apocalymon. However, Mugendramon [“Machinedramon” in US dub] and Chimeramon, barely surviving, became a new Digimon. They became Millenniumon. By going back in time, Millenniumon would throw the adventure of Taichi and the others into chaos. That you prevented. Gennai: Millenniumon was destroyed by your power, but he revived again and again. However, through the efforts of you and the Digimon, he has been obstructed every time. That's right. You fought together with the Digimon Kaiser-- rather, Ichijouji Ken. However, during the last battle, you and Millenniumon were blown away in an explosion. You to the world of the past, him to the world of the future. It's said that Millenniumon already dominates the world of the future. But for complete dominance, the source of the Digital World, the ENIAC, must be completely destroyed so that he may remake history to his liking and achieve total domination.

- Gennai, in Brave Tamer

A certain other EVENT may have happened … to, TAICHI ? .. here, as well … at … SOME … POINTS …

       [ SKULLGREYMON COMMENCE. THANKS, ETEMON ARC ]

… But, you know, if SkullGreymon is there, doesn’t that mean Taichi’s. COURAGE. has become. corrupted ?? ? ?

How can he possibly keep the timelines from collapsing while stuck in this state ?? ?

WELL. He can kinda. Uh. GO. DARK. ROGUE? HIMSELF. m A Y B E AKA THIS VERSE IS A DARK CHOSEN CHILDREN VERSE MAYBE - previously also heavily implied in “ Daze ” AMV!

( It’s also possible a CERTAIN OTHER VILLAIN or two may be involved in all of this … )

MUGENDRAMON VOICE: Clones. ( ALL THE CLONES ) RYO AKIYAMA VOICE:           hi MUGENDRAMON VOICE: “ ??? ”

( LATER ON ) … ALPHAMON. VOICE:       C L O N E S ( “ Thank you for the info [on how to defeat THE CHOSEN], Mugendramon ” )

- Trigger Warnings for this song: Tbh … it’s kind of hard to describe ? Maybe a bit creepy ?? ? The singer is kind of extremely cynical ?? ( HE HAS HIS REASONS THOUGH ???? ) The singer is someone who is forced to lie often, and begins to doubt himself because of it. Thus, his outlook on things seems kind of unhealthy, but considering his “story”, cAN YOU blame… him… - ( WELL, HE’S kind of TRYING at least … ) - Warnings For the AMV itself: VARIOUS PAST PSUEDO-DEATHS IMPLIED

- HOWEVER the song itself is also QUITE COOL and FUN / UPBEAT

- “ TAICHI ” seems to be HAVING FUN during parts of it as well ?!?? - ( “ TAICHI ”, WHAT ARE YOU UP TO … )

- THERE’S AWESOME DRUM SOLOS. PLS LISTEN TO IT JUST FOR THE DRUM SOLOS - EVEN IF YOU DON’T WATCH THE AMV THE DRUM SOLOS ARE COOL

- “ OH MY DIRTY ” IS AN ACTUAL LINE AND IT’S ICONIC

- WHO is “ TAICHI ” speaking to here, exactly? - the Adv!Koushiro from Ep #24 who has lost his “ INQUISITIVE HEART ”?? - well, the scenes are from Tri / Kyousei, so, or it could be, - wHAT IF IT WAS A CERTAIN ( MEIKO …. ) ( IS SHE THERE ... ) - or what if it was A DIFFERENT Koushiro - ( at some point he probably confesses to Koushiros in OTHER TIMELINES what’s going on, and this also happens in the fic itself, so … ) - or wHAT IF IT WAS . WELL.                           Y O U

- speaking of this bit, SLOUCHY TAICHI. I LOVE SLOUCHY TAICHI. - WHERE DID THIS SLOUCHY TAICHI COME FROM - IDEK BUT I LOVE IT - I’ve seen it referred to as the “ Cowboy Bebop Slouch ” ?? ? (I’VE NEVER SEEN THAT SERIES YET BUT YES) - ANYWAY, SLOUCHY TAICHI. WORKED SURPRISINGLY WELL HERE

Notes regarding editing for the AMV editing itself under the ’ read more ’ !

- originally I was having trouble filling in some of the instrumental portions and basically debated leaving in the original scenes from the Kagepros version, I decided against this in the end and threw in whichever filler I could find that worked, later on, I plan to go back and time things better / possibly use some different scenes to smooth less impressive parts out!

- Koushiro originally only appeared a few times: 1) on the computer screen during "Input", 2) " a boy who hates lies ", 3) and towards the end, when Taichi confesses in ep48 - I ended up throwing in a bit more Koushiro filler to smooth it out / emphasize the Taishiro, but for once he wasn't there as much originally!

- re: a " girl " " who hates the / disappearing night " showing Taichi; this was also a part I had slight trouble with / contemplated different things for. In the original, the Kagepros boy actually has A CANONICAL FEMALE FORM who shows around this point. ( the blonde )

Taichi does ... NOT... have a canonical female form. So, I contemplated throwing in an alternative anime character that fits my view of a Female!Taichi, ( basically: if you took ponytail!Haruhi Suzumiya, that'd be Fem!Taichi. High ponytail, dark brown hair, sassy look, etc., that’d be it. )

... but in the end I also decided against this and instead more simply took from another Taishiro scene (Piemon battle scene).

May also relate to a portion of a certain Tri interview in which Taichi was canonically referred to by the Tri staff as, " THE HEROINE " ... but they also kind of didn't make that great a reference to it, so this is kind of my way of making a slight "dig" back at them for that. At the same time, I greatly appreciate Tri and the Tri staff, and know they probably didn't mean it that poorly. Don't take this "dig" too seriously, please. - MY BLOG IS TRI SUPPORTIVE. THIS ISN’T AN INVITATION FOR TRI HATE

- " Is that another lie? " / " No, I'm serious ": directly referenced the Kagepros original for this bit + made it semi-work with some panning editing!

- THE BIT WITH MUGENDRAMON TOWARDS THE END IS MY FAVORITE - IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT PLOT-WISE FOR MY ‘VERSES

- BASICALLY, AND THEN TAICHI ACCIDENTALLY HELPED TO CREATE ...

A CERTAIN               MILLENNIUMMON, M A Y B E

Kagepros original video for comparisons purposes is here !:

( If you play them at the same time as each other, you may SEE WHAT I DID THERE ) [ BE WARNED, KAGEPROS IS ANGST-FILLED ]

* Later on I’ll do a comparisons video of my own + add it here when ready!
