nooo way it took me this long to realize fjksljflasd, the ‘reunion’ arc from adventure ep21 and onwards that gathers everyone up again is an exploration of the inverse of everyone’s crest

taichi’s courage is truly tested (part 2 cuz skullgreymon ep was kinda already doing that) takeru loses hope momentarily yamato’s faith in his friends is questioned jyou is put into a situation where he can’t be relied on koushiro gives up his inquisitive heart mimi behaves cruelly and insincerely and sora believes that she’s unloveable

[florencetheflowerfairy]

Koushiro: How do I throw it away?!

Vadermon: Pray for it!

Koushiro: I don’t want to know! I don’t want to...know...

(I had to edit out a few lines of dialogue to fit the images into Tumblr.)

I’m re-watching this scene from episode 24 for research for Day 5 for Tai//shiro Week. I was the one who asked for Day 5′s Topic, but my original fanfic wasn’t working, so now I have to throw out my rough draft and start over.

Episode 24 is one of my favorites, definitely in my top 5 Adventure episodes. “Is it wrong to want to know everything?” is my favorite Adventure quote. (I always say that “FRIENDSHIP!” from the diner episode is my favorite quote, but if I’m being serious, it’s this one.) 

And I always say that “friendship” is my favorite crest and I mean that seriously, because I’m a sap. But Koushiro’s crest is special to me because of how peculiar it is. It’s so human. Curiosity isn’t a virtuous trait. It’s not kind or brave. The pursuit of knowledge for knowledge’s own sake isn’t right or wrong. It can even be perceived as greedy.

But it’s also the most beautiful part of being alive: wanting to learn; wanting to know more; wanting to understand how the world works.

I love the imagery of Koushiro asking this godly figure, “Is it wrong to want to know everything?” It’s innocent but so bold of him. Vadermon scares him by telling him that he’ll go to hell if he keeps questioning him. But Koushiro triumphs in the end, determined to keep his inquisitive heart, no matter if authority figures tell him that he’s wrong. Koushiro learns to be braver in his pursuit of knowledge.

I’m not sure if I can write a worthy fanfic for this episode, but I’m going to try!

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!}

"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!)

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.

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.

By the seventh day, Koushiro had dropped his “t”s and “o”s. Tentomon felt somewhat sad that {it} had been reduced to nothing but an “e”.

[koushirouizumi]

On the second day, Koushiro dropped his “m”s. “You   ay   ot u  dersta  d, Te  to  o  , but I feel as though a heavy weight has bee   lifted off of   y shoulders.” “I see. That’s good.” Tentomon smiled encouragingly.

“Te  tomo  , you should trai   with me. Why wo  ‘t you?” Koushiro displayed the results of his training to Tentomon, who was watching him from the side. Tentomon tried it out for himself. “Very well, Koushiro-ha  ” but right away he said, “No, this isn’t for me. Ending at ‘Koushiro-ha’ just doesn’t feel right. It feels icky.” “I see. I  deed that is a shame.”

When they left the mountain hut, they found themselves at the summit. "What’s going on?" {Mochimon} asked Koushiro, confused. Because {it} had used up all of {its} energy, {it} had degenerated once more.

"I think the peak covered in clouds was an illusion made by Vadermon," Koushiro answered with a sunny smile. “As expected of Koushiro-han. You know everything.” “Not really. It’s still a mystery why my Crest was there of all places. It’s much too convenient to have been a coincidence! Perhaps it is something that surpasses even human intellect–” {Koushiro} was interrupted by a voice. "Hey!" It was Yamato and Takeru. They had climbed up the mountain by following the signal on the Digivice. "Let’s go, {Mochimon}. Everyone is waiting for us." And so, Koushiro climbed down the mountain and rejoined {Koushiro}'s {comrades}.

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

[koushirouizumi]

Koushiro and Babumon left the Room of the Mysterious Training on the 71st day.

Without {Koushiro's} inquisitive heart, Koushiro was unconcerned about who Vadermon was talking to but {Koushiro} knew that the heart that they were talking about belonged to {Koushiro}. I have to take it back, Koushiro thought, and opened the door.
