#ANOTHER DAIGO POST!!!! <333

[skrunksthatwunk]

something he can't put into words.

[todayisafridaynight]

Hello, thank you for the amazing Minedai food! <333 Could you talk about Mine's body/face language? I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM. pls pls go wild with it, thank u <3 - signed: a very normal Mine simp

you're welcome, thanks for enjoyin my stuff <3

but omg i love mine's face and his body language it's absolutely one of my favorite things about him that seems so small yet is so huge imo.

when it comes to how he expresses emotion, he very much does it through his eyes and eyebrows- usually in the form of relaxing or furrowing his brows together depending on the situation (i.e. his eyebrows relaxing while he talks to kanda over the phone when he talks about daigo, his eyebrows knitting together after kanda demands from him money and men, his eyes softening after katase expresses concern, etc etc)

mine's a very professional man One I Often Joke Talks Like A Business Email 24/7, so it's these little moments that really help us see how he really feels about a situation and expands on his character. mine's conditioned himself to speak critically and to seldom let his real feelings about a situation come out unless they're necessary, yet he's still human and of course has his own actual thoughts about something and can't help but to react to particular situations.

in the case of his phone call with kanda, we can infer mine relaxes at the thought of daigo because he's confident he'll make a recovery and he doesn't need to concern himself over kanda starting any wars anytime soon- not to mention he's probably reassuring himself that daigo's fine just for his own personal sake. additionally, because of this inference, we can also assume daigo's condition deteriorated over the course of the game in accordance to mine's actions- but that's another post for another time probably.

another one of my favorite moments is kanda's death scene. by the end of the game, we understand that mine cherishes bonds and sincere companionship above all else, money and other material goods just being tools to him to achieve whatever he may need to get such a thing. ergo, when kanda makes it abundantly clear he only sees mine as a personal piggy bank, mine clenching his fists and furrowing his brows communicates his pain that, unfortunately, his ideologies are being proven time and time again.

the last scenes of the game are where we see mine most apparently emotive and really highlights how he only ever used his eyes to express himself beforehand. he sports a toothy grin for a moment and bares his teeth, and it looks odd on him after you realize the aforementioned. nevertheless, i still love how distraught he looks after daigo recovers from his coma. you can just really feel how agonized he is at the realization he could have very much killed daigo for nothing (not that his plans beforehand were justified anyway, but now in his eyes he really would have done something irredeemable now that daigo was cognizant again), yet his expression could also be read as relieved. it's that perfect blend of 'i'm glad i didn't fuck this up immensely' and 'oh god i ALMOST fucked this up immensely'

all in all mine makes my brain rot and i love the little things about him and he makes me want to eat dry wall

[keep-on-trying]

Hikari’s Role in Digimon Adventure Tri Part 5: Kyousei

Because someone has to talk about this! I just finished rewatching Kyousei, and guess what I noticed? She is not shafted at ALL! She had a great deal of good moments from her, she’s never spoken as much in previous movies as she is here, and like I’ve said already, her role is far from over! Now let’s start looking at her moments in here! Super, super long post ahead, with tons of spoilers, so i’m gonna use a cut! If you haven’t seen Kyousei yet, enter the cut content at your own risk!

Hikari being able to sense Digital World detesting them

We know very well from Adventure and 02 that Hikari’s always been a very sensitive person, and that she’s always had this weird connection to Digital World. It’s affecting her a great deal here, it can be heard from her voice. There’s this sort of pessimist sound in this dialogue, and from someone who’s quite a closed-up but honest person? It’s quite heavy. It’s hard for me to explain what I feel about this dialogue, but it just feels so her. Takeru asks her next what she means by all this, but we’re then skipped to Daigo and Hackmon. We’ll return to this later in the movie thou, so keep on reading!

Hikari’s dialogue at the fire with Meiko

You know what? A lot of people seem to think this scene is meant for Meiko, and partly it is. But honestly, this is where we see the optimistic side of Hikari, and I love her dialogue here a great, great deal. Her dialogue is so pure, and it’s why I love Hikari so so much. And it doesn’t end here, it continues.

I love Hikari a great deal guys. She’s so pure. She’s such a good person. All of that above is said by Hikari! She’s shining here so much! And the music, oh god I want to buy this movie series OST the minute it comes for sale, if it ever does. It’s that good. And look how everyone is smiling at Hikari’s pep-talk to Meiko at this moment.

But y’know, this only just now occured to me, but she could be refering to her own experience with the Dark Ocean in 02. Don’t give in to a weak heart, friends by your side... this is something she herself learned when she was drawn to Dark Ocean, and managed to get herself out of there with the help of Takeru and Miyako. With the help of her friends.

Hikari’s talk about the Digital World desesting them when Takeru asks her again

There’s quite a long pause here before Hikari says the following:

Takeru’s face. It was sort of my face too.

During this dialogue I was feeling really sad for Hikari. How would you feel when you’re able to sense the world around you telling you to “get out, we don’t want you here”. I love how Tailmon reacts to it thou.

The Digimons may have been rebooted and don’t remember the experience they had before current events, but they still have learned to care a great great deal of our chosen children. Other digimons join her here too, hugging and nuzzling their own partners.

Takeru’s look here is definitely a worried one. He if anyone knows when Hikari is trying to hide something. Taichi doesn’t seem too convinced in that screenshot either, thou after this everyone is smiling with Hikari.

But ohmygod the dialogue doesn’t end here! There’s a moment with Koushiro talking about how Hikari’s feelings aren’t wrong, and that there’s definitely something wrong with the Digital World they’re in right now.

Everyone is looking at Hikari with surprised faces, not really understanding what Hikari is saying. Or they do, but don’t want to face it.

Seriously, being such a sensitive person must be hard for Hikari. There’s another pause on dialogue when Takeru finally opens up.

Then Taichi steps in. Darn it, Taichi has such great dialogue in this movie as well.

And y’know, it makes sense for Taichi to have these dialogues, since he means so much to Hikari (I may talk about it later unless someone beats me to it). But this bothers me. Why are they a nuisance now. Because they’re a group of grown-up kids that can think for themselves? Were it Homestasis or Yggdrasil who threw them out of there soon after this, just... god damn it.

Hikari with Jou when they’re at the school

This moment is very small, but I love it still.

Jou dear, that’s not something you’re supposed to say-

I don’t know if Hikari used the -san instead of -senpai on purpose, but she’s the one who told him to shut it. It’s small, but I love it. Jou keeps on being amazing in Tri as well, haha!

Hikari cares about Meiko!

When Meiko learns that Homestasis has ordered Meicoomon to be eliminated, she sort of goes on depressed-mode.

Hikari is the first to react, and this actually happens a lot in the movie. Next up is Taichi telling Meiko that Meicoomon needs her right now. Meicoomon desires Meiko with her. After that, Hikari’s line is something I find so sweet.

This becomes the theme of the movie itself. Meiko starts trying to be Meicoomon’s hope from this moment on. Tries to find out what the hope is. And Hikari is the one that helped her to get there.

As a side note, this all happened in the first half of the movie. All of this dialogue. And we’re far from done.

The Dialogue between Sora, Mimi and Hikari

Just look at what Hikari says next.

Somehow I feel like she’s referencing some past event. Maybe the Vamdemon saga in Adventure, or Oikawa Arc in 02. I’m not entirely sure yet. But this is such a big line from her.

Even Takeru notices that Hikari is feeling down. And this is where he does what @50cyg pointed out in this post. Takeru is such an awesome kid in Tri, cheering on Hikari and trolling on his brother. My Takari Shipper ass is happy.

The Spooky Story scene is one of my favourite scenes in the whole series so far, but since this post is about Hikari, I’ll skip talking about it for now. I’ll just mention that Takeru so did that to cheer Hikari up, and I adore him for that.

Taichi’s talk with his mother on the phone

Wait what? Taichi? Wasn’t this supposed to focus on Hikari? Well, this scene may be focused on Taichi, but I feel it’s very important for Hikari as well.

This whole conversation hurts when you start thinking about what happens at the end. That’s why I’m including it. It holds a great importance to Hikari’s scene at the end. She was there next to Taichi to hear this conversation. Or, I think she heard. I know I’m sometimes able to hear someone speak from phone to someone else clearly from Hikari’s distance. Anyway.

Meiko’s dialogue about Meicoomon’s rampaging

I honestly don’t know what to call this scene. But just, it may be Meiko-focused scene, but just look!

Meiko tells Meicoomon to blame her, and then!

Hikari turns to her after she said that! She’s genuinily worried for Meiko. I’m not sure if she feels she’s relating to her pain, or what is, but like, she’s reacting to it.

She’s feeling something. She reacted same way when Taichi talked about not being able to do anything in Soushitsu.

Hikari fighting againsts Homeostasis

The absolute highlight! I freaking love this scene, because it’s the first time Hikari’s shown to resist a digimon god!

That’s Homeostasis’ line. Next up comes our badass Hikari.

How is she doing this? Is she finally resisting Homeostasis because she’s not feeling the same way with the digimon god anymore?

Why do I see people pointing out there being sacrifices in past series on this line here? That is not the point here! She doesn’t want to see any more sacrifices.

I... I have a feeling this is where Hikari’s conflict actually begins! This is where this gets god damn creepy as well!

What in the flying pluckmons is Not-Gennai doing inside Hikari’s mind? What the hell is going on??? And he’s smiling in creepy way!? Did he want this conflict between Hikari and Homeostasis to happen? Someone, get him out of there!

Bonus scene:

Good Taichi, take care of her! Sora too. Takeru as well <333 My Takari shipper ass please stay still. Also sibling relationship lover is happy.

“Please, kill Mei-chan“

I didn’t really know how to call this scene, but Hikari’s reactions are important! Very!

Hikari is telling Meicoomon to stop! She wants Meiko to stop suffering, that’s how she is feeling here! And when Meiko tells the chosen children to kill Meicoomon instead, guess who reacts first.

Yes, Hikari does. She’s bound on not letting there be any more deaths, and when Meiko says that, she’s not happy. She doesn’t want to do it.

Remember how Hikari said earlier that she believes each side of partners being each others hope? Well...

Looks like Meiko’s answer of hope is killing Meicoomon. I’m dead certain it’s not the answer Hikari was looking for when she said that line.

Then Taichi drops the line. He’s willing to help Meiko do her answer of hope. It’s huge for Taichi. Hikari reacts to this too, She’s clearly not feeling it. Her voice doesn’t want to accept what she just heard. And the next scene!

Screenshots don’t do any justice because Hikari reacts by body language! She’s squeezing Nyaromon after hearing her brother say that. She’s not accepting her brother say that! Remember how she was hesitant on killing digimon back in 02 as well? That talk between Taichi and Hikari? She’s never been ok with sacrifices nor killing Digimon.

Taichi’s supposed death

This is big. This is absolutely big. If you’re here still reading this, congratz! And wow :D But here we go. Remember, whenever the subtitle says Taichi with Hikari, she actually says Onii-chan, Big brother.

There’s a weird spark happening to Hikari’s feet at this scene.

She’s slowly walking towards the scene where Taichi supposedly died.

This is the line from the PV. You can hear her slowly breaking.

What does she mean? I was thinking that maybe this is related to her mom telling Taichi to take care of her. Does she feel lost without Taichi? Remember how in 02 episode 13, Hikari told Takeru that Taichi was by her side whenever Dark Ocean was calling her. Maybe that’s what she’s saying? Or something similar, I don’t know what so say I’m too shocked at this till.

Then it begins. Her Crest of light lights up on her forehead. I’m not sure why it’s in the forehead. But I believe it’s a sign of evolution. Her crest has always been the symbol of the light happening while evolution with digimon happen.

...There’s a spark on Nyaromon ohmygod no god please no.

I still don’t know what to call that... thing surronding her. Is it the infection? Koushiro’s laptop seems to imply so, but... what the hell is going on?

Yamato’s reaction is important! So very important! I don’t know why but it reminds me of Vamdemon saga when he was taking care of Hikari when Taichi was heading to the base. It’s not a reference to it, but I’m sure Yamato feels like he should be protecting Hikari now as well, with Taichi gone. But let’s continue.

She’s getting it all over her body.

Takeru is dead worried.

It’s now on her face! This is so creepy!

This right here seems to imply this being the infection but... is it? Or... I’ll come back to this later, because it’s hella creepy.

Anyway, Takeru runs towards Hikari. Then this happens.

The infection starts flying out of her...

Takeru is startled.

Nyaromon collapses on this, and then...

She’s loosing conciousness.

All of that weird stuff is gathering on Nyaromon. Takeru is definitely spooked. After some spooky animation...

Enter Ophanimon: Falldown Mode. She looks quite scary and beautiful at the same time.

And then! Here’s the creepy stuff again!

GET THE HELL OUT OF HER YOU CREEPER! Is he inside Hikari? Was that code whatever this Not-Gennai is entering Hikari and then releasing the hatred inside Hikari to dark-evolve Nyaromon? They are in the Digital World at that moment after all.

We then have everyone running towards Hikari, Takeru talking these lines. Then we have more creepy stuff when Ophanimon and Raguelmon are... well, I’ll call it airdancing.

Hikari... are you ok? Of course she’s not, her brother just died in front of her and she just unleashed a dark-evolution. Althou...

Does unleashing this compare to anything we’ve seen before in Digimon? This thing creeps the hell out of me. And the creepiness continues.

Is Not-Gennai talking through Hikari? What is happening? You guys have no idea how much I screamed and gasped when I rewatched this scene.

Quick side note, after that creepy Ophanicrackmon goes to human world, is this the Dark Ocean appearing in Human World as well?? It looks like it to me, but I’m not entirely certain.

...I haven’t seen Digimon Savers for years but, didn’t Yggdrasil try destroying the human world there as well? It was with Royal Knights. Hikari, look what you’ve unleashed! Is this that cruel fate the summary was talking about?

Of course, Hikari right now is in full-on emotional lockdown, not reacting to anything. Takeru is holding her, and she’s definitely not using her body at that moment. Something snapped inside her when Taichi died.

And that’s all of her moments!

God damn it, writing this took me 4 hours. And if you made it this far, I’m amazed. And I’m sorry for such a long, long rambling! But, as I said before, I adore Hikari dearly, and I felt the need to write this because seriously, she shined, and she wasn’t shafted aside at all.

On top of that, because she sort of unleashed this, this is what I believe being her conflict that she needs to face. She unleashed a dark creature. She no longer represents the light. She needs to have a role in next movie of some kind, otherwise he conflict stays undone.

...I hope I didn’t forget anything. But, thank you for reading. This was Aleira, signing off! ♥

[potahun]

gah I absolutely adore your vivillon mansion drawing!

dont be sorry anon!!!! Aaaaaaaa thank you so much im so glad if you liked that idea!! To answer your question yes! Mikuri totally is (was?) champion, i just dont know if its before daigo or after in pokeani verse, as this plot is meant to happen in the canon pokeani verse :D And this is part of the too many details i felt bad about posting under the pictures but yes there is also a servant who is dressed as mikuri but for that one Daigo would have tried to take off his mask in the beginning and seen a Zoroark induced illusion of another persons face. And he would have apologized (although hed still be convinced that something is fishy) A cynthia disguise and an illusion to make him smaller is more likely to go unnoticed! But i also wanted a scene where manon reaches out to ‘cynthia’ and she grabs her hand and manon realises that whoa???? Thats a man’s strength wtf but doesnt make the connection. All in all, thered be a lot more action and a lot more discovery of the master’s disturbing quirks before the final showdown. And maybe daigo can save himself in the end? I wanted some scene in which it is implied that daigo somehow ‘recognized’ mikuris presence despite the disguise ^^AH and whether mikuri keeps any outfit, lets say no because no time and because the master never truly finished his he just wanted leverage to get daigo to come (sry mikuri)
