Hello, tumblr user. Before you is a tumblr post asking you to name a female fictional character. You have unlimited time to tag a female character, NOT a male one.

Begin.

[gutterpufferfish]

So apparently my drawing tablet has- wait for it, SETTINGS. And apparently you can use them to make all of your drawings a standard size.

I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A NATURAL THING TO HAVE ALL OF YOUR DRAWINGS GET STRETCHED OUT WHEN GOING TO OTHER DISPLAYS. CRAZY RIGHT!!!

I swear, if I hear one more person call Daisuke and Takeru the Taichi and Yamato of their season I will explode.

Now, I just want to say that everyone has their own opinion and they can have their opinion.

Yet, when people don't know basic storytelling principles and character archetypes it annoys me.

This is just a example of people not knowing character archetypes and how one tells a story, and a problem of mischaracterization.

I'm not trying to shame people for not knowing, it's just that storytelling is not being taught the right way even though illiteracy is a such an important thing in just about everything.

I am just hear to here to teach people.

So, let me teach out about character archetypes and storytelling, time for class.

Now, I'm not saying that Daisuke isn't like Taichi, that is literally the whole point of his character.

Daisuke is meant to be like Taichi, he gets the Digimental of Courage and Daisuke often acts a lot like Taichi.

He runs into things without thinking, doesn't fear enemies that are stronger then him, and he's the leader of his team and is pretty good at it.

I'm not getting into if Daisuke is a good leader that's a conversation for another day, this is about Daisuke and Takeru.

Daisuke is a lot like Taichi, but he's also like Yamato, because Daisuke is meant to be mix of Taichi and Yamato.

Daisuke acts a lot like Yamato too. He doesn't want to hurt in friends, very evident in the episode that this screen shot is from.

Daisuke also cares about his friends greatly, openly sacrificing himself to the Kaiser is it meant his friends would be okay.

Daisuke saves them from Belial Vamdemon at the end of the season, he doesn't even get tricked by Belial Vamdemon because he isn't scared and he bealives in is friends.

Daisuke is a mix of the Chosen Child of Courage and Friendship, so he's like Taichi and Yamato which already makes it hard to call him the Taichi of the season since he is both the Yamato and the Taichi.

Now, onto Takeru. Takeru is nothing like his brother, that's why he's not his brother and his own character.

Takeru is his own person, and doesn't handle things like his brother did. Takeru openly cares about his friends when they meet and doesn't act like a lone wolf

He doesn't get into fights with them or yells at them for anything, sure, he gets made at Ken when he's the Kaiser but that's because of something else that will not be talked about here.

Takeru trusts Daisuke's decisions when it comes what they should do because Daisuke is the leader and is better at leading the team than Takeru would ever be.

Again, this is also not a talk about how some people think that Takeru should have been the leader and not Daisuke, let's get back on track people.

There is only one time in the whole 50 episode anime where Daisuke and Takeru get even close to fighting like Taichi and Yamato did.

It's in this episode where they fight about attacking Agumon and Daisuke doesn't want to hurt one of his friends when Takeru knows fighting is the only way to save Agumon.

They don't even fight, they just insult each other and start pulling at each other's shirts. They don't fight like Taichi and Yamato did, cause their not Taichi and Yamato

They get along better at the start then Yamato and Taichi did, and never once do they yell or fight each other across the season.

Now, that doesn't mean that Takeru and Daisuke doesn't butt heads, I'm not saying that they don't.

They often but heads because of Hikari and the fact that Takeru and Hikari are friends and Daisuke has a crush on her.

So they butt heads and argue often and if they have to be together for an extended time they tease each other and fight over Hikari.

Yet they never fight to the level that Taichi or Yamato did, they only really tease each other and then go back to fighting. They never get angry at each other, only annoyed.

Another thing is that Takeru doesn't serve the same purpose in 02 that Yamato served in Adventure.

Yamato is the OG rivel character in digimon, ever other rivel used the same base that Bandai and Toei used for Yamato.

The rivel, or more commonly called the lancer, is meant to be an exact opposite of the the gogglehead, or the leader character.

They are meant to challenge what the leader said, they challenge the leaders dictions and often butt heads with them to create drama and make the leader think about their dictions.

Takeru is not that, Takeru is not the rivel, Takeru is not the lancer character archetype.

If I had to give Takeru an archetype in 02 I would either give him the mentor or boundless optimist archetype.

Either one is good, Takeru does have the Crests and Hope and always believes that they can win and that everything will be fine in the end, which is the archetype boundless optimist.

Takeru also does have experience with the Digital World and often helps the other kids learn about it along with Hikari, but any of the original eight digidestined could have the mentor archetype so I prefer the boundless optimist archetype.

Not even Ken is the lancer archetype.

When he's the Kaiser he's just the enemy, the thing that the protagonist have to defeat to get to their goal.

Then when he's Ken and no longer evil he was the classic seventh ranger trope. Just like Hikari was in Adventure.

I've seen people call Ken the rivel, and he's also not that archetype, sorry to say but their isn't a rivel in 02.

The archetype doesn't exist in Digimon Adventure 02. No characters fit it, not Takeru nor Ken, nor anyone.

I love Takeru and Daisuke's relationship. Whether you see it as romantic or platonic I love it.

I love the progression from how they dislike each other and butted heads to being great friends and respecting each other.

Yet they are not the Taichi and Yamato of their season, while Daisuke is the leader archetype, Takeru is not the lancer or rivel, Ken isn't the lancer or rivel.

Nobody is. The archetype does not exist in Digimon Adventure 02.

Again, I'm not trying to shame people, if you don't like this then you are intitled to your opinion but I am also intitled to mine.

Like I said, this is a problem of people not knowing storytelling and character archetypes and mischaracterization.

I just hope this taught you something that you didn't know.

Digimon Anime's website has published details about DIGIMON ADVENTURE BEYOND in Japanese.

Apart from an official summary and cast and staff details, they have also shared the idea behind how this PV came to be.

Here is my translation of everything posted on the website. As we don't have an official translation yet, I request you to source back to this post when making references so that anyone can take up their issues/doubts about the translation with me directly and not spread misinformation in the fandom!

Summary: With time having passed since that fateful summer adventure, the appearance of (chosen) children with partner Digimon is steadily on the increase. However, because of their special characteristics, these children are now being persecuted and targeted for military use, casting a negative shadow over them. When Taichi and Yamato are engaged in a rescue mission for one such child, a mysterious Digimon ambushes them…

The Digimon Adventure 25th Anniversary PV ‘Digimon Adventure-BEYOND’, which was shown at Digimon Con 2025, is now available worldwide on the Digimon Official Channel!

This short movie is a cut-out PV from the last episode of Digimon Adventure 02, featuring scenes from the 25 years later portion that were never depicted in the version that aired. In the video, characters from ‘Digimon Adventure’ and ‘Digimon Adventure 02’ can be seen all grown up, depicted in new designs which is a must-see for every fan!

In addition, ‘brave heart-DIGIMON Animation 25th Arrange ver!', the track used in the PV was also played for the first time. The track 'brave heart' from Digimon Adventure enhanced the evolution sequences in the anime with its melody, and was now rearranged specially for this PV.

The PV is directed by Hiroyuki Kakudo, series director for Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02. Director Kakudo worked on the planning, storyboards and direction of this PV keeping in mind the story of Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02. Character designer for this work is Rie Nishimura, who was the chief animation director for DIGIMON ADVENTURE 02 THE BEGINNING.

We have prepared this project as an appreciation for all the ‘children’ who have stayed with us through our adventures. We hope you watch Digimon Adventure-BEYOND while reminiscing about those adventure filled memories of summer. We are also planning to release the backstory of Digimon Adventure 25th Anniversary PV ‘Digimon Adventure-BEYOND’!

Please look forward to it!
