- I’M SORRY - I HATE KAGE//PROS FOR DOING THIS TOO I’M SORRY - NO IT’S STILL NOT A DIRECT PARODY BUT EXTREMELY INSPIRED W/THIS ONE - if you can’t quite tell, the first verse began as Mrs./Yoshie Izumi before eventually switching to Koushiro’s POV in the second verse! - in the original video, by the second verse, Kagepro’s plot kicks in MUCH MORE IN GEAR aaand yeah STILL NOT A DIRECT PARODY - SO PLS DON’T THINK IT IS - STILL HEAVILY INSPIRED but yeah you can discount most of the second verse visual plot-wise - unless you really want to torture yourself with imagery of tiny sad!Koushiro crying alone LITERALLY WHY - DON’T WORRY THOUGH MR. IZUMI IS V. NOT INVOLVED LIKE THAT HERE - WHY IS KAGE//PROS LIKE THAT I STG

- the reason why the lyrics alternate between: [RED?] [YELLOW??] [scarf?] [C A P E?] -- is because this is more Kage//pros specific imageries and yeahh I don’t want the exact same thing for Koushiro visually in most of main REPEAT?_ BUT - MENTAL IMAGERY wise IT CAN STILL BE A THING - IN THE VARIOUS FORMS MENTIONED - BUT I WAS THINKING “CAPE” MORE BECAUSE OF A CERTAIN

^ WOW HI WHO ARE YOU H U H WOW THAT’S SOME. CAPE. CAPE - MAYBE KOUSHIRO COULD ALSO HOWEVER WRAP IT AROUND HIMSELF LIKE A SCARF - BUT V-TAMER TAICHI’S CAPE WAS YELLOW YEAH - AND I STILL DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT V-TAMER ITSELF - EXCEPT IT GETS VERY DRAMATIC TOO - BUT MAYBE KOUSHIRO IN SOME ‘VERSES COULD ALSO WRAP “IT” AS A SCARF FOR HIMSELF YEAH - .....

WARNINGS FOR THE KAGE//PROS VIDEO: - IMPLICATIONS OF past child abuse (I’M SO SORRY FOR KAGE//PROS) [ this happens for a line spanning about 10 seconds ] - blonde haired boy Kano suffered from child abuse from a past family member. - black haired boy Seto suffers from being bullied as a child by various neighborhood kids - green haired/short haired girl Kido came from a very strict family / mainly her biological father. This ‘father’ was ... neglectful/emotionally abusive in ways (I’m so sorry for Kage//pros) he eventually ends up trying to kill her + her older sister + himself in a fire. She well. (Yeah. She survives. 7TH NOVEL SPOILERS) - the one visible though is actually not the father but more like a butler/maid from the same ‘house’ according to the author in old tweets. - there is nothing more said about that and hope to god it stays that way because. yeah. yeah - basically Kage//pros has MANY warnings re ‘deaths’ PLEASE TREAD VERY CAREFULLY AND ONLY IF YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE PLOT-RELATED DETAILS LIKE THAT - they are not actually ‘adopted’ by the way, technically it’s ‘fostered’ (confirmed via Japanese kanji in the original version). I don’t want to debate Kage//pros here though yeah, just mentioning that quickly since it’s important to not get confused with Kage//pros plot orz (many people will debate this though and I understand why but. yeah. technically it’s not official for many maaany plot reasons and yes the official English version definitely mistranslated it orz why this) (just saying: in Japan, when adopted, your surname has to legally change to your adopted family’s surname. The kids’ surnames do not change in Kage//pros canon and the implication is that thegirls’parents’bothdied beforeitcouldhappenyeah. This was pointed out by a Japanese translator so yeah...)

^ an alternative piano version, albeit a bit faster!

^ this is the original video / song! (PLEASE TREAD WITH CAUTION) (BUT if you’re comfortable with such plot things) (THIS WORKS WELL FOR MAXIMUM FEELINGS) [ AND IT’S HONESTLY A GORGEOUS SONG/VIDEO ] [ AYANO’S A GORGEOUS CHARACTER TOO OK ]

[50cyg]

[1/2]Hi you have a great blog! Just wanted to drop a note cuz folks are so mad about Meiko but to add her as a character is a choice I respect--having a new character be a catalyst for a new plot is a way of keeping fans pleased with representations of their faves, i.e. having a new character shake things up means that writers can keep the baseline of characterizations that fans love for the original digidestined.(Personally I think tri!Yamato is very in-character but this also seems unpopular)

Thank you! I’m glad you like it :)

First of all, how people are responding to Meiko, from both sides, is frustrating to me. 

Many Anti-Meiko fans don’t actually spend the time to properly convey what they dislike about her and just say she’s a shitty character and they didn’t come to see a new characters steal screen time. While I semi-agree with these statements, they ultimately have no purpose beyond releasing frustration. Which I guess is why people make them. 

On the flip side you have Pro-Meiko fans who say that the only reason people dislike Meiko is because she’s new. They also defend every action the character has taken, or not taken. 

Then these two opposing groups do nothing but fuel each other and what we get is a war instead of actual discussion and thoughtful criticism of the character and the story surrounding her. Basically, I just don’t like extremes of any kind. 

I don’t hate Meiko, I like aspects of her and also find myself relating to her sometimes. But I don’t like the way she is handled and think her inclusion is unnecessary. 

Now, in response to your statement, I’d like to start by saying that you are completely entitled to your opinion and I think there are people who would agree with you. However, I do not.

(Warning, mild Anti-Meiko ahead)

Even with Meiko’s inclusion, Tri is shaking up the characters. Taichi and Yamato in some ways have switched their stances regarding how to handle situations. Taichi’s character and his conflicts are at the forefront of the series and we can see the ways in which he has stayed the same and the ways in which he has changed. He is definitely not the exact same as he was when he was 11. Many people in the fandom who see Taichi as a more one dimensional character were really thrown off by how much Tri is highlighting Taichi’s more hesitant side, even though we saw it a number of times in Adventure, and even in 02.

We can see that Tri/Yamato has been pretty heavily influenced by Adventure Taichi. He has gone from the kid who doesn’t want to climb up a mountain in case of danger to the guy that knows if they don’t fight Alphamon more people will get hurt. He has become the one who moves forward first. This is not in line with his established character in Adventure but rather a result of Taichi’s influence on him over the years. Vice versa Taichi has been influenced by Yamato, which we saw happen throughout adventure and which was highlighted when we see Taichi think “what would Yamato do?” in response to someone asking him if they should go to Pinocchiomon’s house. Now this does not mean that either is acting OOC. When I said once that Yamato is out of character I was talking about the fact that he is out of character from his established 02 self. 02 Yamato is far far more laid back, while as Tri Yamato is very similar to Adventure Yamato. Both Tri/Taichi and Tri/Yamato feel like older versions of their Adventure selves, who have grown and been influenced by each other over the years.

So yeah, Tri is not afraid of making alterations to characters or dynamics or putting certain aspects of a character more to the forefront. 

They also are not afraid of giving pre-existing characters personality transplants. There is really only one scene in the Adventure universe, prior to Tri, where we see Takeru troll anybody. This scene is when he trolls Pinocchimon. Tri then took that minor minor glipse into Takeru’s troll side and decided to multiply it by a thousand, effectively making him the troll king of the Adventure universe (though I’d argue Wizardmon is a bigger troll but that’s a post for another day :P). I’ve seen virtually zero complaints made about this change in his personality. In fact, virtually everyone loves it. It makes Takeru a far more compelling character. Him being a troll is now one of his defining characteristics, when it was previously a tiny tiny aspect that was created and used to execute one scene. 

Furthermore, despite Meiko’s inclusion they still have pre-established characters in conflict with one another. Taichi and Yamato are in conflict. Sora gets angry with Taichi and Yamato. Yamato was angry with Jyou. Mimi and Koushiro were in conflict. Jyou stands up against Taichi in Kyosei. Koushiro stands up to Yamato in Kyosei. Hikari has literally just brought on the apocalypse. There is in fighting happening throughout the entire series.

Finally, they do not have to mischaracterize them for Drama. Many people were very engaged by the plot line of Patamon getting infected and no one had to be mischaracterized for the drama of those scenes to be effective. Hikari was not mischaracterized for the drama of her giving into the darkness to be executed well. As far as I’ve seen, fans have not had an issue with having bad things happen to either of these characters. In fact, fans like me love seeing our faves suffer. Think of how much more effective it would have been to have Jesmon trying to kill a pre-established character that we love. How would fans have reacted if Jesmon was trying to kill Patamon? I guarantee it would have brought on more emotions than him trying to kill Meicoomon. 

So yeah, I don’t agree. I hold to my belief that Meiko’s inclusion was not necessary. I think fans would have been happier had she not been included and instead we’d gotten tragic things happening to the pre-existing characters. This is all hypothetical though, and anyone who reads this post is free to comment whether they agree or disagree. 

[50cyg]

How would be your ranking between the 12 digidestined of Adventure and 02?

As in who I like most?

Gosh this is super hard to answer but I’ll do my best.

Okay so Taichi, Yamato, Jyou, Mimi and Koushiro are basically all tied for first. I love watching all of these five so much. 

But if I had to pick an order I would say:

1. Taichi. I like Taichi the most because I feel he has the most depth to his character and he is the most enjoyable to analyze. He also has a really big range of emotions completely on his own and doesn’t necessarily need to interact with other characters in order to bring out those emotions. I think you could make a whole series about what’s going on in this characters head. In my opinion he has the biggest range as a character in terms of what he does, the emotions he has, the possibilities for his reactions to situations and his growth as a character

2. Yamato. Again Yamato ranks high for his depth as a character. Although I think his personality and reactions are slightly more influenced by those he is around and I don’t think his mind would be as complex as Taichi’s. However, he is still an incredibly interesting character with a huge range. He is my favourite character to pair up with the rest of the kids in my head because I feel like his personality is more influenced by the people he is around. Every chosen child would bring out a slightly different side to Yamato which could be really fun to explore, while most of the other characters tend to stay the same more or less no matter who they are with. 

3. Mimi. I remember watching Digimon Tri with one of my friends and literally every time Mimi came on screen I was like “I love Mimi so much” to the point where I think he started getting really annoyed with me. There is literally not a single scene in Tri that I do not love her in. She is so cute and fun. Also I relate very heavily to this character as I am also someone who is very honest with my words to the point where I often offend people without realizing it. And I often do things I want to do regardless of how other people feel. I love Mimi because she is a well written female character who is girly but also has many other aspects to her character, also I really genuinely enjoy that she is just very pure hearted.

4. Koushiro. Koushiro is just awesome. He’s such a badass, he literally solves like all of the problems. Also he is really cute and I like that he is socially awkward and super polite to the point where he still uses sufixes even though he’s known these people for like half his life. 

5. Jyou. Jyou is great and I really enjoy him but he has less moments that make me go “fuck yeah this character is the best” than the previous four. But when he does have those moments they leave me having to pause the video and freak out for several minutes. Of all the Chosen Children he is the only one that I couldn’t possibly understand someone not liking him. He has flaws like any other character but how can you not love him after he throws himself into danger on a regular basis to protect his comrades!

Hikari, Daisuke and Ken all all tied for second place but if I had to rank them:

6. Hikari. This character has a lot of flaws. Many of which are the same flaws that make me dislike Sora. However I’m very biased in favour of her because I just think she is absolutly adorable and I really love her in both films directed by Mamoru Hosoda, especially the first film that acted like a pilot to the series. I also really like her relationship with Taichi. When I was a kid and I was watching the series for the first time I was unbelievably happy to find out Taichi had a younger sister. I’m biased because I have an older brother who means the absolute world to me, he is the most precious person in my life and always will be so I have a huge soft spot for brother/sister relationships in fiction. However I will say that I was disappointed with her character in both 02 and now Tri, I don’t like the way she makes fun of Daisuke and Takeru.

7. Daisuke. I didn’t like any of the 02 kids as a child but as an adult Daisuke has really grown on me. I love that he beats Malomyotismon by just being genuinely happy with his life. Ilove how he always tried to make people feel better even if he has no idea why they are upset and doesn’t know them very well but god damn it if he ain’t going to get all up in your business until you reveal your entire life story to him lol. I also love the scene in Hurricane Touchdown when he cries because they might have to kill somone’s partner digimon. He’s also genuinely funny a lot of the time especially in the Revenge of Diablomon film

8. Ken. I enjoy Ken as the digimon emperor, where he’s kinda whiny and also sort of insane but also really smart and he is just a lot of fun to watch. I also think his plans are very interesting. But I also like him when he starts working with the group. I think his shyness is really cute and I think he’s shy in a totally different way then Yamato which is nice. 

Honestly though I love Daisuke and Ken the most whenever they are together. I’d say they are my second favourite pair in Digimon behind Yamato and Taichi. Though unlike Yamato and Taichi I don’t ship Daisuke with Ken romantically. 

9. Miyako. I like the fact that Miyako is both a girly girl who admires Mimi but is also techy and admires Koushiro. I’m not a fan of her as one of the Chosen Children simply because I feel there are too many Chosen Children and it would be nicer to have less main characters so that everyone gets more development. However I think she would make a really fantastic side character. Honestly I have an AU where she’s Mimi’s sister :P

10. Sora. I’m not a fan of Sora but I don’t hate her either. I like that she is the mom of the group and that she thinks of others before herself but I already talked a lot about the reasons dislike her in my confession regarding her and Takeru which I linked when I talked about Hikari above.

Takeru and Iori are tied for last place but if I had to rank them:

11. Takeru takes eleventh place because I grew up with him and have fond childhood memories of him unlike Iori who I disliked along with all the 02 kids when I was a child. Now though I find him dull and annoying. See my confession for more details

12. Iori. I have learned to appreciate aspects of his character over the years, Mainly his character development from being unforgiving of people who have committed crimes to becoming a defense attorney. See my thoughts on the Chosen Children’s careers for more details. But overall I still find him the most uninteresting of all the kids.
