Digimon Adventure 02 ~ A.M.V. {Anime Music Video} Title: “Kocchi wo Muite” {“Look This Way”} Sung by: Yukana Nogami Music © CLAMP / Kodansha (Originally from: Cardcaptor Sakura) Featuring Duo/Ship/O.T.P: + {Daikari} / {DaiHika} (with equal Hikari<->Daisuke P.O.V's, though leaning a bit more in Hikari->Daisuke focus) [+Bonus Ken, 02 Chosen as Support; Taichi & Hikari as Platonic/Familial/Supporting each Other]; {KenDai(+Miya)Hika can be read in; However, the main focus of this one is Daikari specifically, with KenDaiHika as side Poly!}

Summary:

“Although you show COURAGE, YOU’VE{?} got it Backwards A {maiden}[?]’s Heart is {fragile} and Trying…”

“Throughout all of the {xxxx} WE’RE Invincible”–

Digimon Adventure 02 © Toei Animation A.M.V. by Me No $$$ is being made off this Fanwork

Notes: - The 1st minute took about 45 min; 2nd part made took about just over 2hr’s; The 3rd+4th parts from interlude on took 35~ min each, Altogether, it's already taken 3~4+ hr's. - This is my 08/02 Focus work, for August 2nd anniversary of Adventures timeline! (by August 2nd, Vamdemon's invasion of Odaiba had Begun) Daisuke, who was initially captured inside the same center as Odaiba convention center Vamdemon kept Tailmon trapped in; just might have come across a Certain Person (or two) Near this and the following exact Day{s}... (Alluding to Daisuke's official Drama CD audio Track from "Digimon Adventure 02: Spring 2003"!) - This A.M.V. is overall a Standalone work. (It is not directly involved with my other work); However, it can be considered a work For the storyline that’s a precursor to Repeat-verse, which came before that story was conceived!) Therefore, it can be watched as a Standalone! - I reused a part of an older edit for the earliest Tri P.V.; (for timing placements) it had an old subtitle on, but I’ll remove that for the finished version! - (There is a moment of Hurricane Touchdown!Taichi for Timing) {As it works for my fan-‘verse, I left it in, with a bonus by end!} However, the work is overall/near-wholly 02-focused (so far)! - There is a small amount of out-of-context scenes, However, they’re meant to overall parallel the lyric{s} on-screen. - There is a single Tri spoiler from Kyousei; involving the character of "Homeostasis", that (mind)-possesses Hikari briefly in Adventure Ep. 45 previously. {"Gennai" [Tri] can also be seen for some short seconds} - Major handful of "The Beginning" sequel spoilers by ending; However, it's all actually immediately Pre-Final battle. (The Digimon in final battle can be seen Clearly, +Rui)

{I have not yet re-written the Daikari storyline involved with the past ficverse of mine in full; So please take this work as a sort of preview to it!} The ending lines and following sequences especially hint/allude a little more to my ficverse's potential turnouts; but it can be viewed/read as semi or even fully canon compliant too!

(Further lyric{s} under ‘read more’!)

“Turn this way, don't look anywhere else, darling It'd be bad if you weren't completely by MY side… Although you show courage, you've got it backwards A maiden's heart is fragile and trying—”

{Me: *sees the fans here start talking about old sites & shrines again* Me: “Oh hey I existed TOO during that time---”}

(So I had a Digimon 02-focused OCs website Once.)

These are the layouts “splash” (Enter) page images that survived multiple later P.C. crashes but anyway

I made this site when I was Younger. (I’m not going to say how much Younger but)

{Before I found out I was @utistic} (Too---)

These are layouts #4~5 (02), #6 (Izumi - I started Frontier and loved her), #7 (Kouichi - guess which Frontier eps I had just watched), #9 - Hikari (specifically 02!Hikari focused because I also love her)

(Some of the earlier layout pages half-died but semi-survived on the same backup CD, but most were just plain backgrounds anyway)

Anyway, Digimon 02 fan-base also existed in the 2000s pre-tumblr. (INCLUDING in the Western fan-base Yes!) I Know Because I Was There! (And many mutuals I knew were too so...)

I’m still debating on if I want to bring it back in some basic form but if I did I’d probably just dump better/newer fic, edits & A.M.V.s on there it probably wouldn’t be the same now anyhow.....

This was also before my current hyperfocusing on Koushiro + O.T.P But anyway! (That was soon to come almost immediately After) though tbh it was probably happening in the midst of these Too

Anyway, I’m really, really, really tired of certain circles of the fan-base here acting like 02 never had a presence in the “Western fan-base” even immediately before the “Live-journal” days because... it did. We did. We were There?!?!?

A Summary of COFTFFVerse DaiHika {Post-DigiAdventures 02, when theyre in 10th~ grade}

Hikari, half-possessed UNWILLINGLY, (KEYWORD UNWILLINGLY), by LadyDevimon, to Daisuke, as 'Hikari': You can hold me, embrace me, or cHASE AFTER ME IF I RUN AWAY !!! D A I S U K E: I'm too scared to do any of those things. HIKARI:

[koushirouizumi]

Meanwhile with Adventure Chosen

Mimi: (Light whining) Hikari: ??? M I M I: . . . Mimi, showing Hikari the item: I like this "weapon", ... but it can only be used when the enemy is in closer range!! And we're still waiting for the final battle to actually happen... MIMI: The training the others are doing looks really tough too though... HIKARI: H I K A R I : (Slow patting Mimi) Mimi: ??? ?? ? Hikari-chan?? HIKARI: ... Want to practice outside??? MIMI: Hikari: (They're light based arrows, so it's ok.)

[koushirouizumi]

Meawhile with DigiAdvs 02's Daisuke+Co. [and some O.C.s]

Inter-national Chosen Shane, Chinhanding @ Daisuke, Literally (in Digital-esque Form): So, tell me about your - Shane, Pausing: Well, only if you want -- Shane: Your Queer-platonic Poly-cule. DAISUKE: (*SIGH*) Shane: I was genuinely curious, but-- Daisuke: No, it's fine, Just Daisuke, Thinking: ...Well, Ken happened "later". A bit "later". Shane: right. Daisuke: But we weren't "in" this... "partnership" yet. Daisuke: Things didn't actually *start* happening more until high school. But right before, I was on-again, off-again with... Shane: It wasn't {Mutual O.C.} Hikaru, right? Daisuke: No, but, Hikari-chan. SHANE, Eyebrows raising: "Hikari"-chan. Shane: (Wait, now that I recall, I do think Hikaru said the name "Hikari" some times too. So they're the one who looked close to Hikaru... or Hikaru looked close to them. But Hikaru's very different too.) Daisuke: Yeah. Taichi's little sibling. But we're in the same grade and always sat by each other early on so... Shane: You genuinely "fell" for Hikari. Daisuke: Yeah. (Wait) You're not giving Hikari an honorific, either?!? Shane, Casually moving on: So you fell for Hikari and then also met Ken? DAISUKE: HEY, you *should* be using -chan for-- Shane: Koushiro doesn't. Technically (Koushiro uses -san even for Hikari.) Daisuke: *Koushiro* is *Koushiro*!! YOU-- (You're not even using -san!!!) Shane: When I meet Hikari I'll give what we feel is appropriate. (Maybe) Shane, Casually moving on: I "saw" a small bit involving "Ken" but it wasn't a lot. Just that "Ken" often looked pretty shell-shocked back there when things got "bad". But you also mentioned Ken was "doing better lately". Daisuke: Ye ahhh. Ken . Improved. A Lot Shane: "Improved"-- Daisuke: It's Ken's business, Ken's taking care of it. Anyway, Ken joined about halfway through the year '02 later on. By about the end of summer. And we, well, a lot of Things Happened and now our partners can "Jogress Evolution". Shane: I never heard of that... it didn't exist when I *was* a Chosen. Daisuke: Daisuke: (Yeah, it really didn't. {"Technically?"} Taichi and the rest had heard of it, but only very recently before Ken and I did.) It's when two 'Mons combine because their partners' hearts become one-- Shane: Shane: ... (Quiet) Shane: I don't like that. Daisuke, SHOCK MOMENT: Huh? Shane, Digitally floating backwards: I don't need to "combine" my "heart" with another person's to "Evolve". I'm fine as "we" (implying partner) Are. Daisuke: ...But if you don't want to... there has to be other ways to Evolve, right? Koushiro's been researching some other -- "methods" lately, too. They've just been harder to "reach", for us, but. Shane: If it was another "method" I wouldn't mind. I just like being "Like This". Daisuke: ... Even if "Hikaru" was your partner? Shane: Shane, snorting: Hikaru has all Hikaru's friends to Jogress with. If Hikaru wanted. (...And *you* if there can be more than one.) We were "close", but... I hadn't seen Hikaru in years. Since you all graduated University, even longer. Daisuke: ... (I don't think Hikaru would mind... and *I wouldn't*--?? but. Wait did I just think tha-) So, you mean it when you say you're fine "like this". Shane: Yeah.(*floats*) I seem to be having trouble fixing "this" as it is. Daisuke: We're going to fix that, you know-- Shane: Yeah, now that *I* contacted Koushiro (via Ken) for you. Daisuke: I mean I am, too!! Shane: But even if I WAS "human" again-- Daisuke: OK, OK, I believe you. You're... Daisuke: But, well... Hikaru was also more "recently". I didn't even meet Hikaru until the middle of high school, and that was in *winter*. Well, aside from when I 'first' met Hikaru *way* back when, but that was *different*, I didn't *know* then-- Shane: We can talk more about *that* later. Daisuke: Shane: So you're in a poly-cule with Ken, Hikaru, and Hikari? Daisuke: Uh, well, "it's complicated"-- Shane: (Genuinely did not Predict) There's more?? DAISUKE: (When do I tell Shane about Miyako also having on-again, off-again flings with both Takeru and Ken???) Ummmm Its A Long Story Shane: I'm here all night.

O.C. Hikaru, laughing gently with Daisuke as Hikaru's walking up, only to suddenly freeze in place when seeing: O.C. Shane, raising hand: ...Hey. ... Hikaru, Blinking: Hikaru, Slowly: You ... look older! SHANE: Shane, murmuring just loud enough: The Void and I really seemed to be in agreement that "mental age" as a concept doesn't have much worth to me... Daisuke & Ken, Exchanging Glances: Shane, Taking In Hikaru's Appearance: ... Shane: (It's summer, and its hot, so it makes sense when one would want to wear kimono or more specifically yukata instead, but...) Shane: ... You're wearing a-- Hikaru: Hmm, this? Well... DAISUKE, (+EXPRESSION) FREEZING IN PLACE: Ken, Casually Looking Off To The Side: Hikaru: It was from a local maker, so I bought it... Shane: ... It looks... Nice. DAISUKE: ... Shane: -- I mean it, it does. Hikaru: Hikaru, laughing: You're wearing yours, too. SHANE: (It's one I've had ever since back then...) Shane: Patrick went to pick it up for me, but had to leave for work again before it got dark, so... Hikaru: Oh... (Patrick's not here..) in that case.. HIKARU, GRASPING SHANE'S HAND: SHANE, DAISUKE, KEN: HIKARU, lowering voice so only the group can hear: ... When we get a chance, maybe we can duck into one of the arcades? I know the event is ongoing right now, but... Hikaru: ... I really missed our "challenges". Daisuke, Looking At Ken: (C-Challen--) SHANE: ... I don't mind if they don't mind waiting up for me. Hikaru, laughing: I'm with Daisuke for now, so it's fine!! DAISUKE: (h IKARUUUU----) Hikaru, leaning forward a bit, murmuring just more so Shane can hear: Seriously... Hikaru: I'm really happy you're here right now. Shane: Hikaru, FIRMLY: ... So let's make sure to go back together before it's too late, ok? Shane: . . . Yeah. SHANE'S MON: (Well, it took you around 10 or some years, but you finally managed it...? ??) SHANE: (Aren't you going to say "hi" too?? ?) SHANE'S MON: (Now might not be the time.) {Fades} Hikaru: Anyhow... let's get going!! Shane, Daisuke, & Ken: (This Will Be A Night.)

[koushirouizumi]

Meanwhile with DigiAdvs 02 [+O.C.s]

Shane, sitting off to the side inside a ramen stall during the Obon festival: (...) That Voice at The Back of Shane's Mind, Which Is Totally Not Shane's Mon speaking from The Void, eventually, Speaking Up: (You're sulking.) SHANE: Shane: (I Am Not.) Shane's Mon: (You're scared at the thought of meeting Hikaru again, even when all the conditions are, in actuality, quite good. Aside from the possible return of your earlier "Issue"...) SHANE: Shane: (I think I'm more scared at the thought of seeing Hikaru NOT wearing pants. Or at least, what we looked like while we were stuck in the Digital World together for what felt like *years*.) Shane's Mon: SHANE'S MON: (You're worried your relationship will change because so much time has passed, and Hikaru will abandon you despite the close partnership from before.) SHANE: Shane's Mon: (Why do you believe Hikaru would abandon you, when Hikaru never showed any such ill feelings towards you before? You two saved the worlds together, even "back then". Hikaru is not one to throw that kind of partnership away so easily.) Shane: ... {I Don't Want To Say They're Right But} DAISUKE, BURSTING IN: SHANE: (Sits) (Doesn't Budge An Inch) DAISUKE: OI, YOU--- SHANE: (Turning, Casually/lazily) What. DAISUKE: Daisuke: ... Listen, you, we were going to invite you anyway! HIKARU'S (EMPHASIZED) meeting up with us tonight and-! KEN, Casually: We brought you an extra yukata, if you want one for tonight. SHANE: Shane: My kimono's at .. home. Patrick can pick it up for me before it gets late. (Goes back to meal) DAISUKE & KEN, EXCHANGING GLANCES: Ken: (Nods; "Shane's telling the truth") Daisuke: ... Well, uh, then, HIKARU will be here tonight, and Hikari-chan's coming later too, and when that happens, we're all going back TOGETHER. Yeah, that's DEFINITELY what's going to happen!! DAISUKE, TAKING A SEAT RIGHT NEXT TO SHANE: Ken: ... (Sits next to Shane on opposite end.) SHANE: Shane's Mon: (They're worried about you wandering around alone during Obon after you ran off earlier.) SHANE: (I KNOW.) Shane's Mon: (At least Ken's not as upset anymore.) SHANE: (INTERNAL GROAN) Shane's Mon: (Now you just have to survive meeting Hikaru without accidentally causing the ends of the worlds again.) SHANE: (STOP REMINDING ME!!!!) SHANE'S MON: (Well, it's a bit quiet in the Void without you...) S H A N E: (YOU could come out from the Void once in a while.) SHANE'S MON: Shane's Mon: (It is not possible at this time.) Shane's Mon: {Voice Slowly Fades} SHANE: Shane: (Sighs) (I'll figure out what I can do for it Later.) Shane: (For now, I have to get through a whole night of Obon fesitival, and... These Two.)

Meanwhile with KouTai {A.U.s} - featuring "The Past World" {Royalty A.U.}

Prince Taichi, in my old A.U.: This is likely going to sound really weird, and I don't want you to think I'm taking all this 'too lightly' but... Koushiro: I won't. Prince Taichi: Prince Taichi: ... The truth is, I never even *wanted* to be a Prince, I was "born into" this life? Koushiro, gazing sympathetically: Prince Taichi: This might sound kind of selfish of me, but I'd give up *all of This* if it meant I could see *Hikari* again, even if I have *nothing but the clothes on my back*, you... see? Righ-- Koushiro: (*NODDING*) Yes, I understand. PRINCE TAICHI: Koushiro: I never had a sibling, but I miss my family *dearly* too any time I'm away from them, so in that sense, I relate... but even if I know what must be done... I always wish to see them again. PRINCE TAICHI: ... Koushiro, firmly: I don't think it's wrong. Prince Taichi: (Koushiro Gets It. Koushiro GETS I--) Koushiro, standing up: ... Which is why I'm going to help amplify *your* powers *to the best of my ability*, if it means doing so will help YOU see Princess Hikari again. PRINCE T A I C H I: Taichi: You're really *helping me* with *thi*--?? Koushiro: Yes. (You're Important to Me) T A I C H I: TAICHI: (... I'm in lov--???)

Meanwhile with DigiAdvs 02's Daisuke+Co. & KouTai [and some O.C.s]

Koushiro: I could try cleaning up the picture a bit, but it might prove "difficult". It's pretty small, and... "low quality." (Showing others Again) Koushiro: We may not get as much "detail" as we hope. But based on this alone, we can "see" some obvious details already. Koushiro: They have dark (Black) hair, dark (Brown) eyes... The hair is a little "spiky" at the ends, but not overly so. (*Pointed Blinking*) It's just how it naturally falls. They're short... and small of build. Maybe somewhat wider shoulder width than {mine} the average person we'd know... Taichi: (I wonder if they played sports at all?) Daisuke, muttering to Taichi: (They said they weren't very "sporty". I think they might have ONCE though, but it's probably not "just because" of that... not like your training) Koushiro: ...And they wear all black. (*Showing*) Chosen not Koushiro: (Like a 'goth'.) Hikaru, Staring: Hikaru: It's true Shane wore black often back then, but sometimes wore blue jeans and the like too... Miyako: That's still very ("goth") like that, though!! Iori: They might stick out in a crowd in Odaiba... it'd look out of place at my residence and the dōjō too, if my family didn't "know" you all already. Daisuke: Yeah, but this was in the U.S. Hikaru: I did live there when I was younger, but we moved by the time I entered high school... that's when I met you. My old friends and some family are still there but... (*trails off*) Daisuke: (Hikaru doesn't understand why someone looking like Hikaru's long time childhood *online* 'mutual' Shane would still be tied "there" instead of "here". Hikaru might still not believe it's them...) SHANE: ... Shane: (/I'm close enough I can touch Hikaru./) Shane: (I saw Hikaru "in-between" but even now Hikaru looks a bit different...) Shane, carefully reaching a hand out, trying to gently touch at the ends of Hikaru's curly hair... suddenly half-Physical: SHANE: (!!!) (*FADES*) HIKARU: !! I Felt something?? (Just... now?) Hikari: What happened?? Hikaru: From the back, I felt "something"... TAICHI, Looking at Daisuke: DAISUKE, LOOKING BACK: (I don't think Hikaru would mind if Shane "revealed" themself now, but Hikaru might get emotional...) SHANE, Digitally floating back and higher, "out of sight": (I'm Not Going To) Wormmon, nudging Ken, noticing Tailmon staring INTENTLY at said spot: KEN: ... Ken, Looking at Daisuke: You said you actually "saw" or encountered someone like this person? Daisuke, Nervous Laughing: It's A Long Story But Hikaru: But Shane disappeared over 10 years ago... Koushiro: Do you remember any other specific details? Hikaru: Shane suddenly stopped coming to the local synagogue's services, which was suspicious even for Shane... once people there and Shane's family realized Shane was truly missing and not just "off on Shane's own", they put out a notice. But not even Shane's few family members left there could find Shane after, and the room was "spotless". I didn't find out until the news showed the report... Ken, Quiet: ...Like when I... left. Hikaru, still doesn't know Everything from when Ken was the Kaiser but had Ideas since they had some private Talks: Maybe... but there were no signs of struggle, and not even a message left... just that the computer chair was pushed back a little, and the screen was "on". But all it even showed was part of the desktop. And the Internet browser was open, but not on any page. Just the default. Like Shane was only just logging in and hadn't actually started using it yet. (We e-mailed back and forth a lot...) Koushiro: There's still a chance something to do with the Digital World happened, but... Daisuke, Didn't Tell them Shane Has A Partner: KEN, Looking at Daisuke: (We Need To Talk.) DAISUKE: (Later!!) SHANE: (...) (Oh, so that's Daisuke's other Queer-platonic Life partner.) (I recognize them now.) (They had a cool Partner 'Mon and helped Daisuke out a lot as support back then. But they're... kind of Stiff.) SHANE: (I'm {probably} going to have to keep this up for a while...)
