#WHY AREN'T THE POSTING OFFICIAL HEIGHT AND BIRTHDAY CHARTS FOR EVERYONE I DON'T GET IT

Ok, so let's be honest.

Giving birthdays for the 12 characters from Adv/02 now would definitely be BAD. Because they didn't give them birthdays like any other popular anime/manga series because they didn't want people reducing their portrayals into horoscoping.

And if they had done it now, i'd have been ignoring canon to keep the birthdays i've crafted from a decade ago, after suffering a ton to pick dates for each of them. And Many people would've done the same. You would gain canon dates, but you would just be reducing every unique character into massive stereotypes (which already happens with other stuff with canon birthdays alas).

Miyako having a canon zodiac sign is because she was based on a real person, so the speculation is said person is a Gemini (AB blood type) -- And Rui it's because of plot.

"Ok, and how about Sora?" There's a lot to unpack regarding Sora and i'm so sorry i'm not the right person to talk about this.

Height charts are less troublesome tho.

[tomorrows2top]

Isn’t uncommon for fictional characters to have a set birthday? Unless it lists stuff like food, height, and weight. I know Naruto is an example of that. I know some use the original release of their series for their birthday if they don’t have an official one (like Sora from Kingdom Hearts), but that usually applies to the central protagonist. Was December 1st the release of the first Digimon Zero Two episode? Or some other early ZT product?

Adv/02 staff never gave official date to any of the 12 kids. There’s lots of theories about Sora’s birthday being closer to the events from Our War Game movie (since, this is the main reason she’s angry at Taichi, and why Taichi & her do not talk with each other for the whole movie). But an official date? None!

Miyako is the only character to have an official Zodiac sign – Gemini. And a blood type as well, but I completely forgot what it is (ep 25)

As for your question, there’s nothing related to Dec 1st in the official media. Like I said, it’s a very selfish reason of mine which I got some little stuff to support my decisions to adopt that HC (I only knew two people who used that tho)

But I started to draw for this date i’ve adopted and the one the JP fandom use. Again, I’d commemorate every single fanbirthday he has if I knew more of them.

Aqua, Megumin & Darkness Deliver Their Sweet Singing Voices in KONOSUBA PS4/Switch Game's ED Movie

    Following the OP movie, the official website for the upcoming PS4/Switch ADV game KONOSUBA -God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Love for This Tempting Attire has posted a three-minute creditless ED movie featuring its ED theme song "Amayadori" (Taking shelter from the rain) performed by Aqua (CV: Sora Amamiya), Megumin (Rie Takahashi), and Darkness (Ai Kayano).

  The slow-tempo tune that makes you feel relaxed and at ease when you listen to it is provided by Ryosei Sato, a member of the Japanese male and female duo unit HUMBERT HUMBERT, who previously worked on the two ED theme songs for the KONOSUBA TV anime, "Chiisana Boukensha" for the first season and "Ouchi ni Kaeritai" for the second.

  The CD single including the game's OP theme song "It's so fine!" by Machico, who has performed all of the OP theme songs for the KONOSUBA anime and games, and the ED song "Amayadori" is set to be released on October 21, 2020. The PS4/Switch game will be available in Japan on September 24.

Can I have my favorite Digidestined, Ken and Taichi, for the character ask meme?

Taichi:

Why I like them: Taichi’s been my favorite since I was a little kid! I’ve always admired his courage, for one, but also his ability to be vulnerable and not only own up to his mistakes but to learn from them. That takes a lot of bravery, in its own way. Also the fact that he is so goofy and fun and canonically so accepting of everyone. He’s also good at getting shit done when it comes down to it.

Why I don’t: at least in fanon the interpretation of Taichi as kind of a borderline fuckboy really gets on my nerves, ngl. In canon… hm. While I get that it’s a compartmentalization thing and that he usually stops this behavior when he’s called out on it, the fact that “consideration of his team’s emotional state” is basically the first thing to go out the window when he’s sufficiently stressed out would drive me nuts in an actual person. 

Favorite episode (scene if movie): The 20-21 combo (the MetalGreymon episode and the one where he gets to go home for a few hours) goes kind of without saying, but I love the scene at the card gate in episode 28 where he’s officially nominated as group leader. He’s so struck by everyone’s faith in him, and his first act as leader is to transfer all that faith straight to Koushiro because he’s smart enough to know he’s the only one who can solve the puzzle. :’)

Favorite season/movie: ADV/Our War Game, though what we saw of him in 02 I largely liked and for the most part I like what Tri is doing with his character. 

Favorite line: “HE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A GREEN CARD!” - dub line that makes me lose it laughing every time and i don’t even know why, he’s just so offended i’m 

Favorite outfit: his Adventure outfit tbh. When his outfit near the tail end of Kokuhaku looked a lot like it I may have shouted “THAT’S NOT FAIR” out loud.

OTP: It’s kind of a four-way tie between Taishiro-Taiora-Taito/Taiyama-Taiorato, but as of late I think it might actually be Taishiro.

BroTP: Taichi and Mimi! I imagine they’d get along a lot like siblings and tease each other relentlessly but they’ve also got enough in common that they’d have a lot of fun together.

Headcanon: Taichi has never truly recovered from the shame that was Sora’s eleventh birthday present and the hairclip incident and now EXCLUSIVELY gives her gag gifts so he has a defense to fall back on if she tries to yell at him for not giving her good presents. Sora returns fire, and it pretty quickly becomes tradition for the two of them to give each other the cheapest, shittiest gift they can find.

Unpopular opinion: This is maybe a bit odd, but the common response to the SkullGreymon episode of “Taichi brought SkullGreymon forth because of his arrogance!” really doesn’t click with me? I don’t think arrogance is the right word, exactly. I think it’s more of a case of him cracking under the pressure of being the only one with a Crest (aka the potentially only one at that point keeping Etemon from killing them all) and more desperation than actual arrogance. It’s actually really easy to put myself in his shoes there. I’d still be judging him for forgetting to consider the feelings of Agumon and his friends - a recurring trait of his when under stress - but I don’t think arrogance is one of Taichi’s flaws, or at very least not to the extent I’ve seen attributed to him. (I actually think @fizzingwizard did a solid meta about this a while ago but I can’t find it, alas.)

A wish: I really hope tri follows through on his character development and has him turn his doubts about how the Chosen handle real-world threats and all into meaningful action. Give me a Taichi that’s on the way to becoming the ambadassador we know he is in the future!

An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: this is more of a Toei thing than a Taichi thing but pleeeease - and this is coming from someone who really does like Taichi/Sora - do not make Taichi like Sora in canon. No shitty love triangles for the sake of cheap drama here, thanks. It’s not fair to any of the three of them.

5 words to best describe them: charismatic, motivating, brave, accepting, dynamic

My nickname for them: sunshine boy

And Ken is under the readmore just so this doesn’t get excessively long, haha.

Why I like them: There’s a lot there to like! A lot of Ken’s arc is him owning up to the less pretty parts of who he is as a person - the Spore/Seed amplified them a lot when he was the Kaiser, but they did come from somewhere - which is an arc that speaks to a lot of people. He gets a good amount of nuance and is very aware, post-Kaiser, that his actions have consequences. He’s a sweet kid, but there’s a lot more going on with him than that.

Why I don’t: Not so much a complaint about him but I didn’t like how his character arc eclipsed a lot of the other 02 kids’ arcs.

Favorite episode (scene if movie): I thiiiink 02 episode 45, when he opens the Dark Gate. The whole part with him in the truck before is sort of included in this, but opening the Gate took a lot of guts, and seeing all the other kids fall in around him was really sweet.

Favorite season/movie: Revenge of Diaboromon/whatever it’s called in the japanese lmao i’m a dual sub/dub person

Favorite line: “You can’t take the ball from me like that.” - to Daisuke in the fourth movie. I’d argue that this is Ken when he’s most like himself, recovered enough to be teasing his friend and being a little manipulative but for a good cause.

Favorite outfit: his winter 02 outfit, solely because it’s not the grey one.

OTP: Daiken! Like… y’all. Y’all. 

BroTP: Aside from Daiken again, Ken and Iori! I feel like they’d get along really well and philosophically have a lot in common if they really sat down and talked to each other. 

Headcanon: I just dumped a bunch here a few days ago!

Unpopular opinion: I mean, I see him characterized as a lot more… I dunno, fragile and Dark Magical Girl-y in fanfic and so on than I think he is. I’m not really sure what the popular opinions for Ken are. :’D Also tbh I’m not as interested in the Kaiser part of him as I’d think other people are but again, not sure what most people’s stances are here.

A wish: for him to show up in tri already

An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: I’d rather him not do a Kaiser 2.0 thing in canon. I think someone could pull it off if they were very careful - the Kaiser persona was kind of a coping mechanism and all and I could see how that could come back - but I think he’s had enough of that and also would have learned from the last time.

5 words to best describe them: introspective, sensitive, clever, soft-spoken… ugh i need a fifth one. penitent???

My nickname for them: whispers kenneth

The Ryuo’s Work is Never Done! Game Launches November 26 in Japan

August 4, 2020 8:58 AM EST

PS4, Switch game adaptation of The Ryuo’s Work is Never Done! by Entergram mixes ADV with Shogi matches.

Entergram announced its PS4, Switch adaptation of The Ryuo’s Work is Never Done will be launching in Japan on November 26. New screenshots and details on the game were shared as well.

Ryuuou no Oshigoto is divided into three parts. First off there’s the Adventure Part. Adventure games /ADV are the type of games called  “Visual Novels” in the west: this is the story mode of the game. Next you have the Shogi Part, where you play Shogi against the characters. Lastly, there’s a Quiz Mode where you can enjoy learning how to play Shogi while spending time with the characters.

The Adventure Mode in itself is divided into two parts. There’s the Main Part which re-adapts the anime and light novel’s story, and the Original part, a brand new story specifically made for the game.

The characters’ AI for the Shogi parts were developed by Silver Star Japan, a studio known for its Shogi game series Ginsei Shogi and Real Time Battle Shogi. The characters actually play like they would in the original novel and anime, so following the story will give you hints as to how to counter them.

A Limited Edition for the game was also revealed, it features an alternative cover art featuring Ginko Sora, Ai Yashajin, and Ai Hinatsuru. The Limited Edition also includes a B2 tapestry of Ginko Sora, and a portable Shogi set. Shirabii, the illustrator of the original Ryuuou no Oshigoto! light novel, confirmed on Twitter he drew the Ginko tapestry artwork:

11月26日発売のりゅうおうのおしごと！のゲーム完全生産限定版に付いてくる姉弟子のタペストリーのイラストを描かせていただきました

— しらび (@shirabii) July 30, 2020

The game will also include shop-specific preorder bonuses, but no samples were revealed yet. The shop list can be found on the official site.

More screenshots are included in the gallery below.

Ryuuou no Oshigoto! is originally a light novel written by Shirow Shiratori. it’s been ongoing since 2015 and there are over 12 volumes so far. It’s basically Shogi plus harem, romantic comedy and sexual fanservice, but with a serious and educational focus on Shogi. Ryuuou no Oshigoto! also has multiple loli characters so you should avoid it if you aren’t deep enough in otaku culture, though it’s far tamer than stuff like Prism Illya. The Ryuo’s Work is Never Done is pretty popular overall and also got an anime in 2018.

This game was first announced back in October 2019, and was supposed to launch on February 27, 2020, but got delayed, most probably because of Covid-19.

The Digimon Music Producer also showed an image of the cover with a message, which you can read the translation of over here as well.

It is listed as an early item, so the CD will be sold elsewhere (apparently).

“Notes and references on Digimon Adventures’ timeline / “ages” (ranges)...!! [ click on the photo + right click + open in a new tab + click again to enlarge!! ] (+ click the second photo for caption / note the second row’s ages ) Disclaimer: Most of this information was compiled and semi up-to-date as of pre Kizuna and DigiAdv 2020′s releases. {“Digimon Adventure:”, the reboot series, was set in an alternative timeline and is not implied to follow the main canon’s timeline in a 1:1 direct fashion.} “The Beginning” film, featuring the 02 Chosen Children group as central characters, wasn’t even announced yet as of the original writing of this post, but updated the Chosen’s ages as mostly speculated on here to a February 2012 timeframe, up from Kizuna’s June~ 2010.

As most of this information was earlier speculation going by information given by magazine scans and the like, etc., especially by mid to later Tri era; Please use this information as a starting reference to come to your own conclusions!

{PLEASE DO NOT Reblog this to Discourse!} (The information is being provided for informative purposes only.)

[ disclaimer : much of this is speculation / unconfirmed, but it’s basically noting “conflicting ages” issue re: the Adventures timeline sans OWG’s continuity errors, if going by Kakudou’s statement noted below. i.e. “these would / could be the ages using provided statements + 02 ages despite conflicting ages issues” ... I hope this makes sense! ] extra notes / references: - 02 Memorial Book - an official published book (Japanese language only) that confirms every Chosen Child’s age “in” / at some point of (including the latter end of) 02 sans Takeru’s. This is also despite continuity errors with the Adventure movie “Our War Game” and Sora’s previously assumed “birthday”, among any other continuity errors. [*any following information leaves Sora’s supposed “birthday” alone + treats it as non-canon to the main series or subject to “fixes”, going by Kakudou’s word.] - Adventures director Kakudou since stated on Twitter the only character with a confirmed “zodiac sign” was Miyako, also despite Sora’s supposed “birthday” range. He went on to say besides Miyako, none of the characters had / have “set birthdays”. Despite this, the 02 ages and Taichi’s given ages since remain official, so take Kakudou’s word with a grain of salt as well, however, it is still notable. [ x ] asker on Twitter: “Is this true? [Link to an image with the Chosen Children and zodiac signs.]” Kakudou: “It’s not true. The only one with a set birthday is Miyako. The other characters don’t have set birthdays.” (emphasis / italics mine) - The 02 Memorial Book also confirms Jun Motomiya (Daisuke’s older sister) to be 17 in 11th grade, however her friend and Miyako’s older sister Momoe is also confirmed 11th grade. Note we also have no confirmation of either’s birthday ranges. They are NOT in 12th grade / 18 in the Japanese version (it literally isn’t possible unless they also have conflicting ages, which seems unlikely as both have their grades confirmed to be 11th... and Jun’s age “17″.) - This could mean either could have actually been around 16 at the start of 02 OR within an accurate real-world setting without the timeline inconsistencies. - this is also despite Taichi (and some of the other Chosen) often officially being given the “older” age range for his school grades’ years. Note Jun and Momoe are also not part of the “main” Chosen Children group and do not become Chosen until post-02. - In comparison, Chizuru (Miyako’s other sister)’s grade is also confirmed to be 8th, “same as Yamato”’s. - If Taichi + Yamato are officially confirmed 14 in 02, they would be on the “older” end of their grades’ age ranges (13~14, with Taichi+Yamato by extension being 14). Koushiro and Mimi are confirmed 13 in 02, placing them one year younger than Taichi exactly regardless of where their “birthdays” may fall, again implying they’re on the older end of their age ranges if their birthday ranges follow a similar pattern. This is also despite a real-world setting implying they should be younger (i.e. 13~), and could be because they’re a part of the “main” Chosen Children group. (i.e. “conflicting age”) - There is nothing confirming their ages to be more than a year less than Taichi’s. If going by 02′s confirmed material only, they’re a year less exactly by any (CERTAIN) point of any series in the canon, and anything else is unofficial. - their official ages are also not confirmed in any Tri materials. (as of September 2018), only Taichi’s given Tri age of “17″ is official for Tri. (+ the 02 ages, Taichi & Yamato’s official ages of “22″ in the sequel movie, etc.) (If Taichi is “17″ in Tri, Koushiro + Mimi would be 16~17, unless Taichi ages to 18 by December 2005. If Taichi is 18 during (any point of), or by the end of Tri [likely], as he was 14 in (some point of) 02, Koushiro + Mimi would both be 17 ~ 18 by around the same point(s), following him.) (* This is despite Taichi being in 11th grade, Jou being in 12th, and them being in 10th.) - Koushiro’s adoptive parents state his biological parents had him “two years” after they married. If Koushiro was born around 1989 (Taichi 1988, if going by his V-Tamer manga’s birth year but also by the official given timeline statements of Adventures - Adventure takes place in 1999, minus 11 years [Taichi’s assumed age] = 1988), this would estimate they married around 1987~. (*confirmed in the Japanese version of Episode 38 of Adventure, when Koushiro’s parents reveal this information to him.) (*an interesting additional note - certain adoption laws in Japan were apparently only just being finalized around 1989.) [ x ] (linked source: a three-part series of articles / written blogs on adoption in Japan. Trigger warnings all around, but they contain some very useful info.) ( “Adoption in the sense of taking a non-biological child and making them legally and emotionally indistinguishable from a biological child is an entirely new concept in Japan. Legislation to create the legal framework for this sort of adoption was only finalised in 1989. The entire concept remains unfamiliar, particularly in the case of interracial adoptions.” ) - quote, emphasis mine [ *the article in question being written around 2013. ] - Jou, Daisuke, & Iori’s birthdays may all hypothetically (note: ‘hypothetically’, unconfirmed, unofficial, etc.) fall after August 3rd ~ December 31st if going by the stated timeline, taking note some of the continuity errors noted by Our War Game and using the official 02 ages. If not Jou’s, Daisuke & Iori’s particularly, also using their official given ages (7 and 5 respectively) on August 3rd in Adventure, when both witness Digimon for the first times. - Miyako could also potentially be 11 at the start of 02 turning 12 between May 22 - June 20, but her official 02 age is “12″ while the younger 02 kids are officially stated “11″, i.e. not “11″ and “10″ respectively. - the 02 kids would at the least be 11~12 (or possibly 12~13, should they all be on the “older” aged range for their school year) by “Natsu e no Tobira” regardless of conflicting ages issues with them. - Hikari was stated to be older than Takeru in an early Tri interview, though they’re still in the same grade (confirmed). 02′s Memorial Book also confirms her, Daisuke, and Ken [sans Takeru, age not given] to all be the same age (11). - it’s possible that because only Takeru’s age wasn’t given and he’s confirmed “younger”, he could actually be the “younger” age range for their grade while the rest of them [sans also Miyako] are the “older” range. - Meiko has no officially given age. Her grade (correction: same as *TAICHI’S, YAMATO’S & SORA’S - she is literally in Taichi’s class) would assume an age range of around 16 ~ 17, however, note for all we know she could even be slightly older than Taichi; we literally don’t know. EDIT: a 2016 interview likely confirmed her age range being similar to Taichi’s, i.e. 17~. If she’s same age as him she’d be 17-going-on-18 too. [ x ] “ Q: How long have Meiko and Meikoomon been partners? A: Meiko’s digivice are the same model as Taichi and party’s, and she’s also the same age as them… ” (*emphasis mine) - Jou is not in high school yet in 02, instead, he is studying to take the entrance exams at a private school in order to enter high school. This is important to note in order to not place him as being too much older compared to the rest of the kids. He’s still only one grade above Taichi. - The English dub ages almost everyone up by about 1 ~ 2 years from their confirmed ages or grades. Note this is only canon to the English / American / US dub and any dubs that base their scripts off it, not the Japanese version. However, they are canon within their own “universe” if going by its script. * This is apparently retconned / changed by the Tri dub’s dvd summaries, however, it would still be canon to Adventure-02′s dubs in non Tri canon compliant fanworks and the like regardless. * ( Note: before Tri was first announced in 2015, many, many older fanworks contained either the older ages / timeline info or the dub ages timeline / info, especially fanworks by non-Japanese International artists. So, for example, the Adventure Chosen [Taichi and co.] during 02 could be portrayed in their 02 school uniforms at a higher age of +1~2 years, because that was the canon info given at the time. It’d still be canon compliant for non Tri compliant works. +Etc. similar scenarios involving the Adventure kids being older in the various dubs.) - official birthdays + zodiac signs have not been given for any Chosen aside from Miyako’s + her siblings’ zodiac, as Kakudou stated, and the continuity errors with Sora’s birthday in “Our War Game”. Take any such “lists” you see with a huge grain of salt and compare to Miyako’s given zodiac range (Gemini). This would include any such “lists” used by the Japanese fandom, which may also still have incorrect estimates based on the given canon info / statements. (Gemini is May 21 - June 20, give or take “cusp” dates.) - Tri is confirmed to have taken place in the year 2005, “December” “2005″ showing in Takeru’s email. The Japanese school year begins in April and ends in March. This would imply around 8 months passed since the start of Tri, nearly a full year, and likely aging many of the main Chosen regardless by December. Around 4~5 months would have passed between April and August 2005 / late summer. This would include any time passed (+3 or so months) before Dec. Japanese School system notes - Children who have their 6th birthday on or before April 1 enter the first grade of elementary school of that year. [ Japanese school system reference provided by the Tokyo International Communication Commitee. i.e. use these notes over Wikipedia.] - In order to be a first year high school student in Japan, the student needs to be at an age to turn 15 to 16 between April 1st to March 31st in the next year. [ * causing even more issues ! ] [ source: (from a native Japanese fan in one of my other fandoms which has similar timing issues to Digimon’s, i.e. taking place mid-August while only giving grades and “conflicting (official) ages”): x + x . The series in question is Kagerou Project / Mekakucity Actors (2014 anime) - please note there’s major spoilers for the initial plot of that series! however, this is the source for this statement. ] - Skipping or repeating grades is an extremely unlikely event that typically, within a real-world setting, may formally involve changing schools, thus why it’s rarely done. Koushiro and Ken both even note such, Koushiro mentioning in “Our War Game” (iirc??) and Ken in an episode of 02 while being interviewed. - + extra confirmation of Tri grades (not ages): [ x ] [ x ] - “Taichi, 17, high school days”: [ x ] [ x ] EDITS: [ *note: this post may be further edited as needed! ] [ **note: should the 02 ages be “conflicting”, this would assume their ages at any point of 02 (including ‘at the end of 02′). However, please note ages are confirmed for [some point of] 02 while they’re not confirmed for Adventure, meaning anything for Adventure would be pure speculation and possibly thrown off by continuity errors (i.e. Sora’s “birthday” in OWG + Kakudou’s statement.) ] [ *** if you want to read further on the various issues, there’s an entire archived thread on “With the Will” going over the various conflicting ages / timeline. Note this thread occured around 2013+ and we did not have Tri info at the time. Take anything you read there with a huge grain of salt. The only things confirmed are: grades [adv, 02, tri] (NOT AGES), Taichi’s ages [02, tri, sequel movie, not stated in Adventure], the 02 Chosens’ (all of them - Taichi and co. + 02)’s ages during some point of 02 [Memorial Book], and any other stated references. i.e. ages are not officially stated for Adventure nor tri for anyone NOT Taichi.] (the same thread mentions: According to one of the books, the movie [Our War Game] does indeed take place on March 4. x + x . Once again, emphasizing even more conflicting issues caused by Our War Games’ continuity. ) [+ even more potentially useful timeline notes under the read more!!] [concept art book references; drama cd references; some other Koushiro (+ Sora) specific timeline related notes, etc. etc. etc.....]

(* the same book’s concept arts / info from above mentions the Hikarigaoka / “Heighton View Terrace” battle in the 1st Adventure movie to take place in 1995. This is despite the novels stating Hikari recalled the events happening “three years ago” and Adventure taking place in 1999 on August 1st ~ 3rd. )

(note the “1995″, third column from the right on the second header line.) [ where younger Taichi + Hikari are pictured ] (right click + open in new tab + click again if needed to enlarge!) (* Wikimon also confirms “1995″. ) (*Daisuke’s birth year is stated to be “1991″ in V-tamer’s manga, but again note the continuity issues presented even by the novels’ dates. However, also note 2002 [when 02 takes place] - 11 years [confirmed age] = 1991.) (* regardless if they can be considered “canon” or not, the Adventure drama cds take place between: - 2-and-a-half-years after Adventure, - during the summer of 2001 post-Adventure / pre-02 [also note: Koushiro visiting his biological parents’ graves, likely also Obon, as the Ohigan holiday is also mentioned by him in his April 2001 drama cd track ], (elaborated on further below as well) ... - during a NEXT summer post-02 [Natsu e no Tobira] where Iori “already” “has a girlfriend” (yeah, unlikely he’d be 9 still), - and a Valentines’ Day sometime post-start of 02. Note 02 starts around April, meaning that Valentines’ can’t be until the year after [or Feb. 14, 2003].) ** Koushiro’s drama cd track “Chat” also confirms “1995″ for the Hikarigaoka incident: “ According to Gennai-san, the numbers [of new Chosen Children] seem to grow twice their original amount each year. So that means… in 1999, there were eight of us. Since there was apparently no other but us eight, then what about in 1995? ’95 was the time of the Hikarigaoka incident… just what was the story behind it…?” ” ** the same post-Adventure drama cd track includes the following months/timeframes: November 1999 [Taichi], May 2000 [Jou], October 2000 [Sora], April 2001 [Koushiro], September 2001 [Mimi], March 2002 [Yamato]. ** Koushiro also mentions in his drama cd track (taking place, again, during April 2001): “I even grew a little taller. Even though the fifth-grade girls that just joined the computer club this year are taller than me… I’m going to be Captain starting this year, though!”, implying he was in sixth grade in 2001 and possibly older than the fifth-grade girls he mentioned, who would be 10~11[ish]; Koushiro being confirmed 13 in 02. ** Jou’s drama cd track mentions he’s in Junior High as of May 2000: “Yeah, [Junior High] school is going smoothly.” ** Sora’s drama cd track mentions a possible reference to her still being elementary school-aged as of October 2000: “I’m thinking that next time, I will try reading one of [Sora’s father]’s books. Mom keeps them locked safely behind the shelves. There’s so many of them! I wonder if they’re still too difficult for an [elementary]-schooler to understand…” *** Sora also mentions her father’s birthday, occuring during the same timeframe i.e. October of 2000, implying possibly her birthday month wouldn’t be October (and again regardless of OWG issues re: her “birthday”). ** Mimi’s drama cd track mentions her starting that school year in America in September of 2001: “The new school term begins in September over here, so I’ve started school yesterday.” The track itself takes place Sept. 11th, implying “yesterday” to be Sept. 10th. This could cause further issues for Mimi’s age. ** Taichi’s drama cd drack [taking place Nov. ‘99] mentions: “And… it’s already 3 months since I’ve been separated from [Agumon]…” he then [later] proceeds to mention re: Hikarigaoka: “In the middle of that screen shone a fuzzy light. The light was… like that time! Yes, that time when Hikari and I met our first Digimon 4 years ago. It looked exactly like that time a Digiegg popped out of Dad’s computer in the middle of the night!” - again conflicting with the novels stating “3 years ago” and giving the “correct” year range of ‘95, as Koushiro’s did. ** re: Hikarigaoka, Jou’s drama cd track [taking place May 2000 as opposed to Taichi’s Nov 1999] mentions: “Shuu-niisan [Jou’s oldest brother] wasn’t even at home in Hikarigaoka when the Digimon first appeared 5 years ago, right?” -^.... implying further that the Hikarigaoka incidents’ date being 1995 is correct ** in the summer of 2001′s drama cd track, Mimi mentions: “Yep! Since last month I’ve been in New York City, and next month I’ll be starting my new school!”. Referring to the above, “next month” would be Sept. 10 2001. Note the dates for Obon in comparison [should Koushiro be visiting his parents’ graves for this reason] would be “August 15″ or “15th day of the 7th lunar month”. In 2018, Obon was “August 25″, in 2019, it was “August 15th”. x  *** Important: there is NO official confirmation, including within the book itself, that the grades in the 02 Memorial Book were from “the end of” 02. That is unconfirmed and mere speculation by the fanbase, using other timeline points as references. Unfortunately, “Our War Game”’s continuity also tends to interfere with this interpretation. Basically, it is nothing but theory at this point and hasn’t been confirmed in any official printed materials. Do not take it as “canon” fact. Though it can obviously be used as references for fic and the like, please keep this in mind, and that multiple continuity issues also conflict with this theory. [+ etc. info on Jou’s ages during 02 + Iori’s ] Note how above, I also mentioned Jou wasn’t in high school yet in 02. he is only ONE GRADE ABOVE Taichi [+ Yamato] (+ Meiko) (+ Sora) This becomes even more obvious with Tri, because he does not wear Tri’s high school uniform in 02. Instead he wears his private school’s dark blue uniform. 02 takes place in 2002. (starting April, through post-Christmas? 2002) Tri took place around April through late December 2005. (And Tri wasn’t even a THING circa 2002 yet. It did not exist until 2015.) in comparison, let’s look at Iori. (the youngest Chosen) he’s in 3rd grade in 02. he meets Jou who is in 9th. both first meet some time before Odaiba Memorial Day (August 3rd) We have no confirmation if either met when Jou was perhaps 14 ~ 15. Jou, regardless, is at 15 during SOME POINT of 02 or even since the very start, even if mathematically it’s maybe impossible. But he’d STILL be much closer to 15 at the start of 02 if that was the case (and this also depends on if his birthday really is after August 3rd.) (for all we know, it could possibly be estimated before while the staff just shrugs) The novels do seem to confirm Jou could have been younger at the start because Yamato initially assumed they were in the same grade. The novel (NOT THE SHOW) also refers to Jou at “11 years” in Adventure. However, the novels had other continuity errors re: Hikarigaoka date, too. The show only gives Jou’s grade (6th in Adventure, 9th in 02.) Again, let’s look back at Iori. He meets Jou when Iori is stated to be in “3rd grade”. the Memorial Book (seems to?) confirm Iori as “9″ however, please note if you follow the “theory” the ages reflect, so-called, “the end of 02″, that’d also place IORI on the early end of his grade’s age ranges (9~10) AT THE “”END OF 02″”. POST-AUGUST 3RD - DECEMBER 31ST [ again, another inconsistency !! ] So, instead, it seems safer to assume Iori would actually be 10 / 9~10 before or by the end of 02 even if it’s mathematically / maybe impossible possibly with a birthday range sometime after August 3rd through post-December 31st or possibly even sometime before August 3rd (if the staff just shrugged this off like w/Sora, for example) then he’d be 10~11 post-02, and +1 year or so in “Natsu e no Tobira” (11~12, 12~13 etc.) (or 10-going-on-11, turning a year older at any point of the following school year) [ again. he’s stated to have a girlfriend. A GIRLFRIEND. BEFORE DAISUKE ] [ unlikely ? if he was 9 at the start of 02 and there ] so, if Jou is 15 ~ 16 in 02, 15 at / around the very start, and Iori is 9 ~ 10 in 02, 10 by the end, their age difference would be about 5 years, while meeting as minors. if Jou is a year younger at the start, it’d be even less. he’d be 14 ~ 15, turning 15 some point during 02 / before the end. (around 4 years for the age difference, give or take) it’s even possible Iori could somehow be 10~11 not very long after the end of 02. or even during 02, with a given conflicting age of “9″. ( while again the staff just shrugs ) ( and then the age difference would only be around 3~4 years, should Jou be younger at the start, too ) [ also see: how Daisuke has a very similar issue, yet he’s listed as “11″ ] [ he also sees the Digimon for the first time on August 3rd, with his age ( 7 ) officially given alongside Iori’s ( 5 ) ] [ and yet, in 02, somehow Iori is 9 instead of 10, while Daisuke is 11 ] ( at the assumed start, if not the end ) [ W/DAISUKE NOT ? 10 ] ( unless one of the two or both has a conflicting age / birthday issue in which case, whoo !! ) [ THANKS 02 AGES + OUR WAR GAME + KAKUDOU ]

[+perhaps the MOST IMPORTANT piece of information for Koushiro fans:] The Japanese version of Episode 38 of Adventure (i.e. again, the famous Koushiro’s adoption reveal scene) does not mention Koushiro’s biological parents having died “when he was a baby” that was a line / “edit” seemingly added in by the US DUB. Instead, the Japanese version mentions his parents’ meeting / his father’s career and when they had him (iirc it was along the lines of “two years later, they had you”) (hence the estimating for Koushiro’s birth year, noted above) (but I’ll rewatch again + provide full caps and exact dialogue as soon as I’m able to!) basically - as far as I’ve seen when gathering all this info, unless any guidebook states otherwise, Koushiro’s biological parents having died “when he was a baby” was a line added in BY THE AMERICAN DUB (meaning) (if anyone reading can please provide a direct quote / translation on anything to do with the timeframes of Koushiro’s past that isn’t from ep38 of Adventure i.e. from the Japanese guidebooks, the third novel that was still untranslated, etc. PLEASE LET ME KNOW p l e a s e ) because WHEN EXACTLY DID HIS BIOLOGICAL PARENTS DIE, THEN (WHAT IF KOUSHIRO WAS OLDER THAN “A BABY”) (OR AT LEAST OLDER THAN TWO YEARS OLD AT MOST) (BECAUSE WOW DO I HAVE T H E O R I E S) (at the very least it’d be useful info for estimating years / the timeline further) (because otherwise this places Koushiro’s biological parents’ deaths to) (have occurred) (anywhere from the time Koushiro was born [estimated 1989]) [perhaps giving a year i.e. 1990] (..... to the time of pre-MOVING TO ODAIBA [estimated 1995]) [+further info on Sora’s grades below!]

(right click + open in new tab to enlarge!) [or you may have to otherwise zoom in, thanks tumblr] For the record, these are what Sora’s ages / grades would be if the timeline wasn’t an issue and if we kinda-sorta ignore her “birthday” in OWG. Note if you follow the timing given in her drama cd track (”October 2000″) with her still being an elementary school student in October 2000 - [and Koushiro+Mimi following one grade / year behind exactly] - - the grades / ages actually DO match up. i.e. Sora is in 8th grade in 2002 [AT SOME POINT] and 11th in Tri, at the canon ages given by 02 (all Chosen) + Tri (for Taichi). The same occurs with most of the rest of the Chosen. Basically - ( THANKS OUR WAR GAME + KAKUDOU ) ( + an extra theory bit on Sora !! )

FINAL PSA:

Even on that WTW thread, even on various Wikis, there’s often the absolute insisting that we absolutely only use what info the “canon” has given us.

While for the most part I agree, I especially agree that all of Adventures canon is “canon”, yes, including / especially OWG and the CD Dramas, novels, etc. (though I am hesitant because the novels do have a different continuity while V-tamer did as well, including it managed by different people, also noted below,) (OWG and the CD dramas are near definitely canon by this point though) (since even around Tri, we got the “summer of 2001″ cd drama) I would also like to point out: that post I linked above from the native Japanese translator where they point out the inconsistencies in my other fandom? She mentions things like,

“[ [the staff] may have thought that the fans will misinterpret that (the ages)] [and think (the characters) were one grade below (the others in their same year)]”

for example, even in that series, a major character’s conflicting age was later “shown correctly” (at “17″ instead of “16″ by an August 15th period).

The anime staff for that same series even noted (at an event for Japanese fans) another major characters’ birthday literally conflicts with the script itself. (she states she’s “16″ consistently, but the character can literally only be “15″ at the very start - her birthday is Feb. 14th. The series takes place August 15th, with her being a first-year high school student saying she’s “16″ instead of “15″.)

Japanese animators are human too, you know? Obviously they could make mistakes with the script. Obviously they will correct issues where needed, or otherwise even simply leave it alone.

Kakudou even notes this in the various novels “afterwords”; how Adventures’ planning was all over the place, because no one expected it would become this popular.

Kakudou: (emphasis / italics mine):

“ As the season changed from summer to fall, the contents of this new TV show began to be finalized. During that time, talks were brought up of a comic serialization in Shueisha V-Jump and a story for a movie. The only thing agreed upon was that the character “Taichi” would be the concurrent main character in both, and a separate staff was prepared for the making of the [1st] movie. The name “Taichi” was decided on by Toei, while the original visual of him wearing goggles was produced by the comic artist. With that Taichi at the center, we decided on the ages, specialties, and personalities of the other seven main characters. “ “ The stage for the TV series was basically set in the Digital World, while the movie was based in the real world in a different year. After that, it was all chaos. The story that started in File Island expanded to a bigger scale, and we even inserted in stories of them in the real world. “ “ The real world arc that begins in this second volume was actually only meant to be three episodes at first. In reality, it became eleven episodes. Although Taichi and the others lived in the familiar Odaiba, the “Odaiba elementary school” they attended was completely made up, something that was decided on only two weeks before post-recording of the first episode. There was a lot of running about going on.   Although I say it was utter disarray, I don’t have to tell you that, as the creator, I enjoyed it the most.   Fortunately, many people were able to enjoy the TV series. ” This is not a “persistent” “rumor”, it literally is Kakudou’s word itself that Adventures’ planning was somewhat wild at some point of the beginning of the series, from the Afterwords of the novels.

Does it mean the entire series’ (+02, +Tri etc) planning was wild all over? No.

Does it mean things are never subject to future change / corrections, provided this fandom is allowed to continue as a franchise? No.

Granted, until we get those corrections, we should still pay attention to the canon and the official ages given.

For all we know, some excuse could be given i.e., “this character was held back” [even though it’s impossible*] or “this character is [older/younger] [than previously stated]” [even though it’s impossible] (* I’ve seen that happen, too - characters stating “you’ll have to repeat [if you fail your grade]!” even though it almost never / rarely happens in real-world Japan the rules can be bent for anime, you know??) (and for example, Sora’s case could have potentially already been “corrected” by her cd drama track “October 2000″, which actually came out after OWG.) (Even OWG has Japan’s spring break starting much earlier than usual - i.e. around March 4th, beginning of March, instead of around the final week of March before school resumes April 1st. This is literally where the “timing” issue for literally all of this may come from.) ... Because I’ve also seen cases where these inconsistencies weren’t corrected. And the fandoms ended up (mostly) fine in the end. So, let up on those 1~2 year gaps / inconsistencies a bit, please ?? (note: Adventure first aired in ‘99.

IT’S BEEN LIKE 20 YEARS. Let it goooooo ) and maybe stop hating on Jun Motomiya for many of these related issues pls and actually note what I said about her age pls because you know what at the very least I KNOW I got hers right

#KizunaCountdown day21

You know there’s so much I’d like to talk about but no actual idea.

Day 21 - Ni’s Bonus choice for the free day.

I pick... Talk about how much important tri. was to lead us into Kizuna.

This is a risky subject but I daresay tri. causing a lot of hurt for people helped to make Toei take new actions to recover the lost audience.

“But Ni, tri. was a success!” are you sure? While yes, they went well in all movies, they were released close to other big movie/franchise names enough to not be very well. Not to mention the huge breaks between each movie -- having like, starting in 2015 and ending in 2018. While we had two movies in each 2016 and 2017, I consider those pauses too long to a story like that.

The story has the weight of a 50-part episode, some things were left open. Too many of them in my opinion. It’s not the format, I swear. They simply had taken bad choices, like the unnecessary scenes/fanservice which would’ve been toned down and add things the fans wanted to know -- about the 02 kids whereabouts & status, Maki and Daigo’s backstory, Alphamon’s role, and who the heck was Mysterious Man (which I assume is neither a Gennai and that Gennai form is just another identity he stole)

Most of the fans who disliked tri. were turned down by something. That being 02 kids, portrayal or not enjoying the art style, etc. Those critics, as much they sound selfish or stupid, were valid feelings. In my opinion, most of the characters were acting differently -- some I liked, some I disliked so much -- but the 02 kids being treated like that was disrespectful with the original sequel and its fans. Art style, on the other hand, I loved so much. But back to what I meant: People were disappointed with something in each movies the feeling of betrayal by the writing caused so many angry voices on the net.

Okay so... why those were so important? While tri. was in the last movie, Kizuna was in development. That, according to Kakudou vague tweets about a project he was helping with but decided to quit due to artistic clashes. He did not mean those as “this project sucks” and also had to explain himself on his blog saying “people who liked tri. might enjoy the project”

You know the internet had evolved very fast and on our current days there’s a very much strong connection between producers, staff, and fans right? So, if you go looking at every interview about Kizuna, you will realize Toei has been listening to our complaints. They saw what went wrong with tri. and what went well. I daresay tri. mistakes led Toei to pull another Adventure movie to not just grab money with but ALSO to make peace with OG!Adv & 02 fans.

What choices are so blatant from tri. to Kizuna? 

1- Art Style

One of the complaints for tri when the first key art got revealed was the faces. You could find a lot of “fix-it” redraws and edits of the characters. While I loved the art style... I didn’t like how Joe’s hair became black blue and how Yamato’s haircut made him look like an older Takeru twin. Mimi’s hair worked sometimes but some material had it pretty bad. While they fixed one of my complaints about Hikari’s design in 02, which were the big forehead she had.

What Kizuna staff did? They got the original character designer from OG!Adv and 02 to work in the movie -- if you look at the artstyle for Kizuna, they have some signature parallels with OG!Adv and 02.

Some people didn’t like the design, but most of the fans did like -- at least the crowd I saw by myself. And, while it’s the same artist, you can clearly notice his improvement from 1999 to 2019~2020.

Now, a comparison between those:

OG - 02 - tri. - Kizuna (To Sora short)

Can you notice the difference? Kizuna may not be very much the same as OG, but when you look at...

You can clearly realize the huge development of the designer’s style & art. (Sorry I’d call him by his name but sadly I’m not good at typing his name yet orz)

2 - 02 characters official return

Believe me or not, MANY PEOPLE (me included) wanted to see Daisuke, Miyako, Iori and Ken back. Not only in the west but also in the east too. When tri. omitted them in art & promo art, plus in summaries... People were upset. Then, Reunion opens with that tragic scene. VERY BRILLIANT but they wasted time and movies. The fans were concerned with them, when tri. staff wasn’t expecting for that. Not even Toei I guess. The huge disappointment with the lack of them was clear. And the fact the last movie had so little about them... Sad huh?

Sad enough to make people NOT believe when the 02 kids were announced in Kizuna, with legit design, new voices and the return of the 02 digimon cast. They made it a BIG BIG DEAL, as I point out the official announcement was a SUPRISE of DigiFes2019. 

Also let’s not forget that one of the newest content after the very first trailer released on Anime Expo was...

...the clip shown on DigiFes2019. Yep, the special sneak peak of the babies.

So I consider tri. the cause of Toei’s realization that 02 and 02 kids -- not just Ken and Daisuke -- sell. They’re beloved, people want them and I know a LOT of people who were screaming and crying when the announcement was in fact real.

3 - New characters [SPOILER FREE]

Okay, tri. had very cool concepts but we had so little new content with the new characters and somehow they were badly done -- Like Daigo spending most of the movie being clueless and futile, and when he finally gets a big role & action (movie 5) he is killed in the last movie. While yeah, Daigo’s death was so important for Taichi’s development I believe it would’ve been better IF we had seen more of Taichi-Daigo and Daigo-Taichi interactions. Daigo had so little importance to the plot in my opinion. Also Maki had one the most unsatisfying closures, as I’ve mentioned before here.  Meiko is the catalyst of the plot, being Meicoomon’s reason to evolve and go on rampage, and in the end she loses Meicoomon and what they do with her? Send her back to Tottori. Yup.

The PVs for tri. has a mysterious girl and cat under the bridge, and that gave a lot of ideas about her and her role as well.

While... Kizuna someone makes clear the new characters have a strong role in the plot -- Bellucci and Imura are researching about the Chosen Children and Digimon Partners’ bonds. The PV featuring her makes her get no mysterious girl vibes, she’s shown with her name voice and her role. She’s a key character, and you know that.

The reduction of the number of parts for the plot is a good point I guess. While I feel tri. long pauses ruined the conception of the plot and drama, I hope Kizuna being a standalone movie makes things straight.

With this, I conclude saying tri. is good yeah, but its mistakes made Kizuna be real. So I thank tri. for the efforts and for letting Toei make one more movie with the original Adventure series.

Peace~
