Digimon Adventure + Digimon Adventure: (2020 Reboot Anime)
~ Comparisons / Parallels ( + Animation / Character Design Parallels )
+ Meta / Character Analysis
featuring character:
KOUSHIRO(U) [‘Izzy’ in US] Izumi in Digimon Adventure: (2020) Episode 01
vs. Digimon Adventure Episode 24 +
Koushiro’s Possessed / Pouty ? / Moody ? Face / Expressions +
Koushiro’s canon tendency to NOT pick up
on others’ emotions / Connect well
This is a very subtle animation tendency / character aspect of Koushiro’s,
that’s actually (thus far!!) only appeared a few times in the series’ canon.
Most fans may overlook this aspect of him and his design / implied personality traits, but Koushiro fans in general may tend to pick up on it more often.
Notable aspects of it appeared in Episode 24, the episode where Koushiro first obtained his Crest of Knowledge, and fought Vademon with Tentomon.
In this episode, Koushiro gets his “ INQUISITIVE HEART ” (JPN version) taken by Vademon, who convinces Koushiro to “willingly” give it up.
Later in the same episode, it becomes particularly noticeable during
such instances as:
- Koushiro communicating with Taichi via a sudden PC connection,
[ the heavily narrowed eyes and subtle blinkings, etc. ]
- Koushiro giving up his Crest and “possessions”,
- Koushiro yelling at Pabumon who began crying at him, to
‘ not distract him ’ etc.
( ^ Notice how he’s void of emotions at start, but quickly
becomes pouty / upset when Pabumon cries notably at him, “distracting” him. )
I was really surprised to see this subtle expression / change in his typical character design actually appear suddenly again in Digimon Adventure 2020 Ep. 01 - we hadn’t really seen it much at all since Episode 24!!
... But at the same time, I’m also kind of not surprised?
Japanese fandom has seemed to pick up on the expression more often than Western fandom has - it’s appeared often, at times, in Japanese fandom fanarts, especially those featuring Episode 24
Inquisitive Heart-less!Koushiros in general.
It’s particularly noticeable in a LOT of older Koushiro doujinshi from particular circles of the early 2000s era, which tend to emphasize the subtle narrowing of Koushiro’s eyes and the odd “roundness” of his face/cheeks that is emphasized by this subtle style / design change. The little marks under his eyes, as well.
Not only the narrowing of his eyes, but his eyes tend to become somewhat “blank(er)” during this kind of expression, as well.
Essentially, it is an expression that appears notably on Koushiro when he is having difficulties with his own emotions, and, connecting with others.

{ WATCHING TO THE FINAL MOMENT IS RECOMMENDED }
LYRICS:
[ VERSE 1 ]
“ ‘ When YOUR DREAMS have GONE,
Then WHY R E P E A T THE DAILY G R I N D ?
There’s NO POINT TO IT ’ ” …
A “ FANTASTIC” thing TO SAY …
And YOU, TOO:
“ I’m in love with NON-REALITY. ”,
YOU SAY IT WITH Your Fingers,
THOUGH YOUR M O U T H SAYS NOTHING …
[ VERSE 2 ]
PEOPLE WITHOUT FACES AND VOICES,
Yet you feel some “ CONNECTION ” WITH THEM,
Of course, though, that CAN’T BE
A “ MUTUAL L O V E ”, … ?
… Still, that’s the way it goes,
CLOSING OUT ANOTHER DAY
But you P R E T E N D TO HAVE L I V E D,
And then GO TO S L E E P …
[ INTERLUDE VERSE ]
“ AH, IT’S SUCH A BORE ”
So you TRY to AVERT YOUR EYES,
EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN’T C L O S E THEM. …
HEY, considering you REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE “IT”,
ARE YOU WEARING A BORED FACE AGAIN
... AS YOU WATCH ME BEHIND THE S C R E E N ?
[ CHORUS 1 ]
> THAT’S NOT THE BEST PLAN OF ACTION <
AND I K N O W YOU KNOW IT.
TO DROWN IN DARK, WITHERED DAYS . . .
MUST NO DOUBT BE P A I N F U L
IF REALITY ISN’T A L I E,
THEN WHAT IS IT ?
IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, T H E N ,
HOW DOES IT SOUND LIVING TOGETHER
IN A WORLD FABRICATED BY MEN ?
[ POST-CHORUS VERSE 1 ]
IS THERE ANY POINT TO A PLACE THAT WOULD
ONLY DENY YOU?
JUST SAY “ NO ” TO EVERYTHING
... AND LOOK ONLY AT ME -----
[ VERSE 2 ]
“ AH, TRULY FANTASTIC, ”
... YOU CAN CLAP FOR ME ,
BUT L I E S HAVE FILLED THE OUTSIDE
WITH “JUNK”.
SAY, SINCE YOU’RE BURIED DEEP IN IT
TO THE POINT OF P A I N
THEN WHY ARE YOUR EYES A V E R T E D NOW
... AS YOU S T A R E AT ME COLDLY ?
[ FINAL CHORUS ]
> THAT’S NOT THE BEST PLAN OF ACTION <
AND I K N O W YOU KNOW IT.
AT THE END OF IT, YOU KNOW YOU’LL FIND . . .
A BOUNDLESS I S O L A T I O N .
AS YOU R E P E A T YOUR D A Y S ,
IN A ROOM WITHOUT L I G H T
I BEGIN TO C R U M B L E ,
AND MY N O I S E RESOUNDS
“ I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL ! ”
I CRIED,
AND Y O U SAID TO M E,
“ AS A TOY ONLY FOR TALKING TO ,
. . . I’VE GROWN B O R E D OF
--- Y O U ? ”

{ DIGIADVS SPOILERS WARNING:
a) some Tri!Taichi and Tri!Koushiro solo shots from:
Saikai, Kokuhaku, Kyousei, BOKURA NO MIRAI / OUR FUTURE.
b) some PRETTY spoilery scenes regarding what

DigiAdv 2020, mainly 01 ~ 03 * (as well as scenery shots in general)
- TRIGGER WARNINGS for this song:
– general mentions of death [/PSUEDO-deaths] + destruction of “ the world ”
– general creepiness abound
– ( it’s NOT as you think HERE but IT’S STILL A CREEPY SONG … )
– it makes so much more sense if you actually know K@gepros’ canon
– which is wayyyyy too HARD to explain here in full
– I’m sorry
– I don’t think my version is nearly like K@gepros DESPITE this so … .
FULL LYRICS:
[ Verse 1 ]
Out the windows was a huge flock of birds,
Congesting to cover up the sky
Swallowing up the crescent moon ,
Headed some unknown direction.
I had A HALF-FINISHED GAME with NO SAVE ;
A scarcely-touched textbook lay on my desk
AND TO STOP MY BODY FROM T R E M B L I N G ,
I promptly PUT ON MY H E A D P H O N E S .
[ Interlude Verse ]
Just as I was listening to AN OBSCURE ARTIST ,
A number they did with AN UNKNOWN TITLE ,
Just as it came to my ears , I H E A R D :
" You WANT TO S U R V I V E ‘ Y E S ’ ? "
[ CHORUS 1 ]
Waving over the wriggling world,
The skyscrapers seemed TO TREMBLE
THIS VOICE seemed UNMISTAKABLE :
IT WAS MY OWN ,
... WHICH I WAS TIRED OF HEARING .
" If you CROSS THAT HILL ,
then in 20 SECONDS ,
YOU’LL KNOW WHAT I MEAN ,
for BETTER or WORSE ”
Don't DOUBT , JUST L I S T E N CLOSE :
GO 2 0 S E C O N D S A H E A D . . . "
[ Verse 2 ]
The intersection was CROWDED , of course ;
Man, woman, CHILD , IT DIDN’T MATTER
I WAS BURIED
under PEOPLE YELLING
and babies' cries . . .
[ Interlude Verse 1 ]
PEOPLE CRYING , a SOBBING GIRL ,
A P R I E S T P R A Y I N G , I PASSED THEM ALL BY .
One SINGLE PERSON headed the OTHER WAY ,
Towards what was BEYOND THAT HILL .
[ Interlude Verse 2 ]
The voice from THE H E A D P H O N E S PERSISTED:
" TWELVE minutes left , " it told me
If EVERYTHING was going to UP AND VANISH ,
Then I had NO OTHER WAY . . .
[ Chorus 2 ]
The chorus of shrieks and screams
Turned to TEARFUL EYES in TEN SECONDS
I had my DOUBTS , but no matter WHO DID WHAT ,
There was NO ENDING HUMANITY’S SONG .
" RUN , RUN , there's 1 MINUTE LEFT , "
But I couldn't even hear it by then;
THE HILL which I thought to cross
Was
RIGHT BEFORE ME .
[ Interlude Verse ]
MY BREATH FAINT , I FINALLY A R R I V E D ,
Before A WALL which projected THE SKY .
Behind it , scientists in white applauded ;
" MAGNIFICENT , " they SAID -----
Doubt
[ FINAL CHORUS ]
FROM THERE , I saw THE TOWN
Was some kind of experimental facility;
" NO LONGER NECESSARY , "
A SCIENTIST said, and calmly tossed a B O M B
I WAS TOLD I HAD BEEN LIVING
MY WHOLE LIFE IN A LITTLE WORLD IN A BOX
So I COULD ONLY STARE , D U M B F O U N D E D
At the BURNT WRECKAGE that had been THE TOWN .
And from THE HEADPHONES at MY EAR,
I heard a faint
" S O R R Y " . . .
NOTE:
- You can tell exactly where I ran out of ideas (towards the end) OTL
- I DO PLAN TO FINISH THIS AMV PROPERLY SOMEDAY
- I’M SORRY
- THOUGH
- OK BUT SERIOUSLY PLS I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TRI & ADVS LORE
