Further transcript and my own commentary under the ‘read more’!

(Episode start): {Tentomon}: Koushiro-han! Let’s take a little break! {Koushiro, only briefly pauses, with a notably perturbed look}: I want to meet Gennai-san as soon as possible! {Tentomon, insistent}: But even so, it’s already been two months! {Koushiro, surprisingly direct, and yet still using typical speech*}: (*Koushiro in the J.P.N version commonly uses a more polite J.P.N speech form than characters like Yamato, or even Taichi, which is quite notable with Koushiro.)

“It doesn’t matter HOW LONG it takes!!” {Tentomon, immediately in response}: (*sighing*)/(*sweatdrop*) {Koushiro, matter-of-factly/calmly}: I’m going ahead. {Tentomon, quickly}: A-aa, Koushiro-han, wait for me!...

(They walk together as the calm OST {music} track playing fades.)

My commentary: Episode 24, Koushiro’s focus episode where Koushiro will later obtain the Crest of Knowledge, opens on this scene, and in the original version, right away, you begin to get a feel of the character progress he will eventually have- For a start, Koushiro actually insists a little at Tentomon. The Adventure novel (also penned by a head/“main” director + writer, Hiroyuki Kakudou) indicates in a later Dark Masters “Arc” scene that Koushiro “never” raised Koushiro’s voice towards a “senpai”/“upperclassman” - especially NOT Taichi, as the scene stating that line involved Taichi - and even these lines Koushiro states using overall “polite” form J.P.N speech, but Koushiro DOES insist a little, and it’s very obvious from the look on Koushiro’s face that Koushiro Means Business, OK, Don’t Argue With Me On This! Tentomon responds by immediately sighing, and another common pattern of this episode are the close-ups of Tentomon’s reactions to basically everything Koushiro is saying.

Tentomon clearly notes that it’s been “TWO MONTHS” in the Digital World since Taichi vanished. The novel is a bit more vague there, but it’s also a direct timeline clue - keeping in mind the time difference between the worlds. However, it also hadn’t been longer than two months since Koushiro split from the group of other Chosen, who Koushiro left behind in the search. Koushiro’s plan is apparently to FIND “Gennai” - It seems Koushiro believes Gennai can help with the search.

The novel does go a little more in depth in various places there... Taichi isn’t directly mentioned, {though still goes missing} but Koushiro, DOES feel a “pull” by the Crest of Knowledge - not knowing it’s the Crest. Vademon will then proceed to immediately trick Koushiro & Tentomon by scamming Koushiro out of Koushiro’s often-referred to as “Inquisitive Heart”, convincing Koushiro that what Koushiro “needs” is ““Knowledge””.

But the fake, anti-intellectualist “Knowledge” Vademon talks about is not necessarily the kind of actual “Knowledge” Koushiro NEEDS...

Tentomon clearly recognizes at least a little of this, and with the ‘expressions’ (sudden shocked or panicky movements) Tentomon ‘gives’, often reacts in turn.

{I will slowly be dropping more image sets of this episode as time goes on, with further commentary, along with possible comparisons to the novel, so please keep a look-out!}

(While the images used may not highlight Koushiro’s best moments, This is STILL a Koushiro POSITIVITY Post.)

{Digimon Adventure} ~ Ep24 (J.P.N Ver.)

"The INQUISITIVE HEART Will be placed right next to the IGNORANT Heart!"

"If there are people who will throw away their hearts..." -Vadermon, about Koushiro {throwing away Koushiro's Inquisitive Heart}

{IMGs by Me} {DO NOT RE-POST} (Please ASK to Use)

[koushirouizumi]

By the eighteenth day, Koushiro dropped {Koushiro}'s “e”s. Tentomon no longer had a name.

Although {Tentomon} welcomed whatever made Koushiro happy, Tentomon felt somewhat uneasy about the entire thing. There was no mistake that Koushiro's face grew more serene with each passing day. But {Koushiro's} eyes… {Koushiro's} eyes looked so blank. Nowhere in them could {Tentomon} find that bright sparkle they once had, like at Andromon's factory, when Koushiro was typing into his laptop with engrossed excitement, or within the empty well in the desert. Before it had met Koushiro, Tentomon had always thought that "thinking" was a pain. But meeting Koushiro made {Tentomon} come to feel that thinking wasn't so bad after all.

[koushirouizumi]

“To begin, you must discard your words. Words make you think unnecessary thoughts. Starting today, get rid of your letters one by one. For your first day, you will work on ‘n’.” “I understand.” And so, Koushiro dropped his “n”s.

Vadermon looked at Koushiro and said, "What do you want?"

Since Koushiro COULDN'T TAK, {Koushiro} showed by action. Determinedly {Koushiro} walked into the room and grabbed the bottle in front of the Digimon customer that contained {Koushiro}'s inquisitive heart. Holding it gently to {Koushiro}'s chest, {Koushiro} apologized to it inside of {Koushiro}'s mind, “I’m sorry for throwing you away, my inquisitive heart…” and opened the lid. The inquisitive heart returned to where it belonged, inside Koushiro. At the same time, the power of speech returned to {Koushiro}. “It was wrong of me to throw away my inquisitive heart. Not wanting to know isn’t who I am. I want to know everything. That’s me.” “Babuu!” From its perch on Koushiro’s shoulders, Babumon blew bubbles of agreement. “Hey, what’s going on?” the Digimon customer asked Vadermon. “Can’t you tell? {They're} stealing.” Vadermon took out what looked like a toy gun with a parabolic antenna attached in the front. It aimed the muzzle at Koushiro. “Give it back.” “No,” Koushiro said flatly. “Then I’ll kill you and take it from your dead remains.”

{My Commentary}: >The power to express yourself {/your Interests} was already inside of you. > The words are already inside of you.

"BUT I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO PUSH YOURSELF TO SAY THE WORDS."

{"Formal speech" is okay [this way]/[like this].} - Tentomon

On the 71st day, Koushiro had rid himself of the entire Japanese alphabet.

Digi-Adventure{s} (Series) ~ Taichi Yagami & Koushiro[u] Izumi {A.M.V. Out-lining/Timeline} for Koushiro x Taichi A.M.V.: "'STUDY ME'? / Figure it Out / I'M NOT A PROBLEM TO BE 'SOLVED'" (View here!) [#Tri Spoilers, #Kizuna Spoilers, #Digimon Adventure: Spoilers]… This is the current initial ‘previewed’ look of a mostly-finished A.M.V., but with sections I can easily jump around and edit in if I ever go back to it in the future.

This A.M.V. was 100 clips + splices EXACTLY. (More splices this time, but) It began crashing my editor almost exactly as I finished, saving it began the process of repeated multiple crashings.

You may notice some frames look "glitched", this is because I'm using a version of Windows Movie Maker and this can apparently happen depending on file type used and where I 'trim' the clip (resulting in a glitched frame on the timeline, in places.) {Which is also not fun when there's a lot of them and I need to remember where splices are placed! Fortunately, there's not as many here this time, but.} - Any clip with four squares on top has an Effect on (mainly 'fade-in' from white or black, or 'fade-out' to black or white.)

This took me almost a full 'work' day (6~ hours.) It was in actuality spread out over most of my evening. I had to up-load the finished thing pretty late, - around 'holiday' time.

So, fun facts about the process of making this one.

It was end-of-the-year.

I was travelling to see my immediate / (also) very close end of family, which only happens for me a handful of times per year.

The trip involved takes 5+ hours of driving time (I wasn't driving. It's still a hassle just getting there, then resting up after)

I was having a really stressful day, not because of family or anything, but due to the trip itself, tiredness and such.

At the same time I was already really wanting to make this once I heard the fun track involved.

I hadn't actually watched its original vid before making my own, so it was also really fun to compare them after!

However...

Even this most recent A.M.V. was a highly personal work made at an actually random (for me) time, with almost 0 advanced planning for once (I literally heard the song the night before. Most A.M.V.s I make take weeks to months of drafting, outline, re-listening for timing matching purposes, and first attempts at editing to make sure the editor won't crash on me by the end).

So, when I post these 'finished' (1st draft, typically) outlines, I'm basically trying to show even a little of what's actually going into my editing process and how extensive these can actually get.

It'd just be cool if people could remember to... respect such things when interacting with any of my works, especially these A.M.V.s.

I create for KouTai / Taishiro specifically because I appreciate them, especially on a personal level. I don't mind if non-shippers, or people not as heavily involved with them interact with my works - I even often leave these semi canon-compliant to a degree for such fans - but please understand the focus is on Koushiro and Taichi for a reason, and while I do step outside of my preferred box at times, A.M.V.s in particular take a wild amount of energy and planning (and also, for example, decent footages existing) that most people may not expect at first glance.

So, here was an example of another 100~ clips A.M.V., created for a dynamic and characters that I personally highly appreciate. (I felt much better after finishing this and managing to save it!)

While Koushiro swam his way through the zero gravity air-space, Vadermon chased after {Koushiro} with the zigzag motions of a UFO, shooting at {Koushiro} at every chance.

The rings of light were more powerful than they looked. The stars that took on a direct hit from them burst into smithereens. "Just how do we beat Vadermon?" {Koushiro}'s inquisitive heart back where it belonged, it did not take long getting down to work within Koushiro. Calming himself, {Koushiro} analyzed the situation. {Koushiro}'s Digimon partner Tentomon was currently in the form of Babumon, who didn't have much fighting power. {Tentomon} would have to evolve. But how? What was evolution anyway? What are Digimon? What are the Chosen Children? "I want to know! I want to know! I want to know!" Koushiro shouted. A single star above {Koushiro}'s head glittered. The star changed into a shape Koushiro had once seen before, flying like a comet into Koushiro's hand. It was a Crest.

Digimon Adventure ~ Episode 31 (J.P.N Ver.) ~ Character Traits & Character Development ~ Important Dialogue + as Adopted representation (Izumi Family)

Bonus:

{Koushiro and “Thank You”} (Koushiro, in the J.P.N. version, is known for using overly-“polite” speech in most of Koushiro’s wider canon. [at the very least, up until the beginnings of the 02 Epilogue timeframe]; (However, we see hints of that changing a little throughout the {+early} series too) {i.e. “Arigato[u] gozaimas[u]” (Formal) vs. slightly more informal {to Izumis, as they’re Koushiro’s family} “Arigato[u]”, which he slowly begins to start using more often by late 02′s World Tour arc} This is right after Koushiro’s returned home the first time, so the Izumis are bemused by Koushiro saying “Thank You” so openly)

{“Even if {Koushiro} is [hiding something], We can’t blame {Koushiro}. We’re [hiding something]* from {Koushiro}, TOO.”}

* = Koushiro’s Adoption backstory, which Koushiro continues to show clear awareness of Izumi Parents knowing & keeping the secret from Koushiro, including throughout this entire episode. (After Koushiro just got back from being stuck in the Digital World for over two months in Digital World time, maybe NOT counting the time Koushiro spent trapped and isolated in Vademon’s ‘pocket’ dimension...)

"STUDY ME?" / "Figure it Out?" / "I'M (/KOUSHIRO'S) NOT A 'PROBLEM' TO BE 'SOLVED'"

Featuring duo/ship/O.T.P.: KouTai / Taishiro[u]; Koushiro[u] Izumi x Taichi Yagami

It is recommended you read the lyrics before or after watching! (Check under the 'read more' for more info/lyrics!)

(Characters Koushiro is otherwise involved with, like Izumi family, Tentomon, Jou, Yamato, Menoa, and Mimi; + vs. Vademon also show briefly at times but the focus is Koushiro & 2020!Koushiro + KouTai with minor spoilers from tri, Kokuhaku, BNM, Kizuna, and 2020 + its ending)

This A.M.V. was pretty much made on a complete whim after I heard this thanks to a Japanese Taishiro/TaiKou fan on Twitter recommending another by this group as "DEFINITELY a TaiKou song" and let's just say Yes I see a Theme & Patterns going {with this group's songs+lyrics!} and I am Spilling Koushiro Thoughts Via Analysis by A.M.V. As a result it IS in actuality semi canon compliant to a very strong degree, but please keep in mind the intended pairing is mainly KouTai (though I ship various other Koushiro ships too!)

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.
