Digimon Animation 25th Anniversary Characters: The Main Heroes (Goggle Boys, Street Fighter, and Legendary Tamer from Video Game Universe)

[alpaca-clouds]

The Thing About The Age of the Characters in Digimon

Okay, let me talk about one thing in the western Digimon Fandom, that has always bothered me. And it has to do with something very weird: The age of the characters in the first four seasons.

See, in a lot of western fandom discourse there is this idea that the main characters in Tamers are 1 year younger than the characters in Adventure, 02, and Frontier. This mostly originates with one thing: The Japanese dub of the other three seasons do not give any age for the characters, as they introduce themselves saying just their grade in primary school. Tamers meanwhile gives official ages for the characters (with pretty much everyone but Shaochung and Ryou being 10). While the western versions of the other seasons gave an age for the main characters, making the Goggle Boys 11 years in their respective seasons.

However... This does not make them a year older.

See, most of the main characters in the first four seasons of Digimon are 5th graders. This maintains to Taichi, Sora and Yamato in Adventure, to Daisuke, Hikari, Takeru and Ken in 02, the entire main cast in Tamers, and Takuya, Izumi, Kouichi and Kouji in Frontier.

What does this mean for age? Well, basically it means that these characters should have been 10 by the 1st of April of the year that they entered 5th grade. To be exact, it means the birthdays should be like this:

Taichi, Yamato, Sora: Between April 1st 1988, and March 31st 1989 (through Sora's birthday being recent in movie 2, which takes place during spring vacation, we can assume her birthday is in March 1989)

Koushirou, Mimi: Between April 1st 1989, and March 31st 1990

Jyou: Between April 1st 1987 and March 31st 1988

Takeru, Hikari, Daisuke, Ken: Between April 1st 1991 and March 31st 1992

Iori: Between April 1st 1993 and March 31st 1994

Miyako: May 21st to about June 21st 1990 (we know her star sign is Gemini)

Takato, Jianliang, Ruki, Hirokazu, Kenta, Iori: Between April 1st 1990 and March 31st 1991 (this should also be true for Junpei in Frontier)

Shaochung: Between April 1st 1993 and March 31st 1994

Ryou (Tamers Version): Between April 1st 1986 and March 31st 1987

Takuya, Izumi, Kouichi, Kouji: Between April 1st 1991 and March 31st 1992

Tomoki: Between April 1st 1994 and March 31st 1995

And yes, if you have autistic knowledge of this franchise, you will know that there is in some cases stuff that does not make sense.

Notably the fact that within the old Artbook with the character reference pictures 02 Sora is referenced to be 14 years old. However, that book has been released years later, and the information came from Seki Hiromi, so I am fairly certain this is just her not quite realizing that Sora's birthday is somewhat confirmed to be in March through movie 2. (The same is also true for Ruki, who also has her birthday in movie 6, which also takes place during the spring vacation. However, other than with movie 2, which is confirmed as canon for the series through 02, the canonicity of movie 6 is a lot more doubtful, as there are several ways in which it contradicts the canon of the show.)

The other thing is one very specific for Tamers.

See, Tamers is unique in giving the ages of the characters. And in fact with every screenplay of the series (which have been digitally distributed and are most available and actually super interesting for some background information) in the list of characters showing up in that episode most ages are given. This is why we know the ages of the parents in Tamers. However: Tamers takes place over the time between April 2001 and late February or early March 2002, so over the course of a roughly year. And even in the last episodes the ages for all characters are still the same as by episode 1. However, I assume this is just simply an oversight, that nobody has thought about. At least this is a lot more likely than none of the main characters (including the adults) having had their birthday before March. lol

So yeah. Generally speaking: All four goggle boys are 10 or 11 in their respective season. 5th graders at the very least.

infodump session: DIGIMON EDITION!

Have I ever mentioned how much I fucking LOVE Digimon??? It was the first ever anime i watched and it was love at first sight for me. ofc it would take me FOREVER to talk about everything so i’m just gonna focus on an obscure part of one of the universes!

Ryo Akiyama and MILLENNIUMON (Cyberdramon!) MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE DIGIMON GAMES BELOW THE CUT!

Millenniumon is the main antagonist of all of the Ryo games! All of the Ryo games (kind of) take place in the Adventure universe!

in fact, Ryo and Ken Ichijouji worked together in Tag Tamers to defeat Millenniumon, later at the end of the game, Millenniumon releases a Dark Seed that basically slowly turns Ken evil to the Digimon Emperor we see in 02.

Later in Brave Tamer (iirc) it’s revealed that Ryo and Millenniumon are partners. and then Monodramon (Ryo’s Not-Quite partner during Brave Tamer) and Millenniumon DNA Digivolve into Cyberdramon, and Ryo and Cyberdramon get sent to the Tamers universe. Hoo boy. (hopefully i got that all right since there’s very little info online and Brave Tamer isn’t translated to english..)

Ryo has basically spent 4 games fighting this super fuckin evil Digimon only to learn that they’re actually partners.

So the fact that Millenniumon is Ryo’s partner???

it HURTS

i’m gonna infodump more about this later bc it’s eepy time so FAREWELL

[bossarmadimon]

@digi-noir mentioned you on a post “I’m right and I’ll keep saying it Side note:  I...”:

@bossarmadimon Mayhaps I don’t remember my Adventure lore correctly but I don’t remember it contradicting any timeline stuff? Causes a lot of questions and inconsistencies yeah, but I can’t think of any specific timeline stuff. Can you elaborate more?

​I'm not particularly knowledgeable on this, but @shihalyfie is, and I'll quote her on the WonderSwan Games that are the source of the problems: "Tag Tamers…doesn’t make sense with the anime, and despite what a lot of people like to claim about it being “necessary” to understand what was going on with Ken, it actually makes it even more confusing"

Ever Since That Winter Day [Ryou & Cyberdramon Backstory]

I am further uploading old fics newly translated into English. And here another older Digimon Tamers fanfic, about how Ryou met Cyberdramon.

Ever Since That Winter Day

Fandom: Digimon Tamers Characters: Ryou Akiyama & Cyberdramon Genre: Mystery

Ryou visits Tokyo to participate in a Digimon Card Tournament. However, while he is in Tokyo he sees a strange light, that will change his life.

[digitalgate02]

Alright folks.

Whenever Ni says "Ryo" without the "u" at the end, she's talking about Akiyama Ryo. Because this is how i used to call him and i feel like not changing it.

HOWEVER

Whenever Ni says "Ryou" with the "u" at the end, she's talking about Digimon Survive's Ryou. Because i feel like this to not mistake him with the "dude whose once was voiced by Kanemaru Jun-ichi in a digimon series."

This is only valid for me.

PSA TO NON ROLEPLAY BLOGS

Please do not reblog my posts. This is a roleplay blog and having my rp’s or headcanon posts spread around is really frustrating. It super messes up my activity and it’s really disheartening to see a notification and realize it’s not an ask or an rp reply. Those posts are not for you, and it’s stated in my rules that I block non-rp blogs on sight.

To-Do List:

Drafts ( 19 ) / Inbox ( 24 ) / Queue ( 4 )

Other Blogs:

Rules + Muse List below The Cut!

1.) Fandoms

My blog is, as a rule, not affiliated with any of the fandoms that my muses come from, and are largely products of my own headcanons, I'll list on the muse page which muses are fully canon divergent and which ones follow canon, as it can vary depending on how I feel about the media they come from.

2.) Basic RP Etiquette

Don't control or override the actions of my characters, don't kill them without asking, no forcibly shipping with my character without talking to me first, really basic stuff for everyone's comfort, really.

3.) NSFW

I generally don't like NSFW unless we're very close rp partners, and if we do engage in that kind of shipping it will lead directly to fade to black, I don't have a sinblog, and don't have an interest in one, so any smut will have to be implied at best. Otherwise, darker subject matter like gore and other darker themes involving mental health will be explored and tagged appropriately.

4.) Dropping Threads

I'm guilty of dropping threads when I lose my muse for them and get overwhelmed. I'm working on reaching out more and sending memes to my mutuals, but I'm a very shy person. The best way to start things with me is to approach me in DM's or send me a meme.

Yakkid - Akiyama Ryouga

The younger Akiyama twin. Eighth and last in the poly-verse.

Analytical, studious, and hard working. He somehow took a hard left away from the rest of the Akiyama's more relaxed personalities.

He has one hell of an ego, but does everything he can to back it up. He won’t just say he’s the best, he’ll prove it, and works very hard to hold onto that standard. He puts a lot of pressure on himself to perform at peak at all times.

Prefers dance over any other form of fitness. He's especially talented at ballet. When he feels himself getting burnt out mentally, he'll spend a few days in the studio working through it physically.

He acts like he hates it but he actually appreciates his family dragging him away from things to take a moment to relax. They found a balance that works for everyone.

He absolutely adores any and all animals, from a distance, given they all hate him. He's never figured out why, they just immediately are stand offish at best. He's been scratched/bitten more than once.

January 11th, 11:56, birthday

Typical twin pregnancy, except in an unusual turn, they were 8 days late. Kimi insists it's because they inherited Akiyama's lazy streak. Like she isn't just as bad.

He knew he wanted to do something with math, and money, like his father. Eventually settled on being a financial advisor and investor.

Trauma for Flavor : Ryou ends up having a substance abuse problem through highschool. Mostly to help with his studies/extracurriculars/etc. It takes time but the family rallies around him to help him recover.
