Welcome to the Favorite Classmate Tournament!

This is gonna be a big one. Due to the number of classmates and the fact i couldn't evenly distribute it in a number of pairs and sides that made sense for the brackets (maybe there's a way and I'm just bad at math), every side initially includes 3 pairs and 1 trio each, and finals will be a poll between 3 contenders and y'all will have to live with that, I did my best.

As always, pairs/trios and their order in the bracket were randomly generated.

Complete list of polls under the cut, they'll be linked as soon as they're posted. Polls will be open for a week. May your fave win!

Something a little more recent for the ask thing: Digi Charat?

The first character I first fell in love with: Dejiko of course!

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: I didn’t expect to like the new characters (I know Broccodess isn’t technically new but she hasn’t been animated before) in Reiwa at all, but they’re pretty cute and didn’t overstay their welcome/take up other characters screen time like I feared.

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: how do you dislike anyone in DiGi Charat lol. Changing the question a bit, I’ll say their characterisations in Panyo Panyo DiGi Charat, which I don’t like at all. I also don’t really like DiGi Charat Nyo. Plus Winter Garden but literally no one likes Winter Garden lol.

The character I love that everyone else hates: I have no idea who anyone hates but I do wonder if Kimura Takuro would be cancelled by modern fanbases due to his weird infatuation with Puchiko but I think he is very funny so I will defend him.

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: When I was a teenager I was very adamant about Piyoko being the absolute best character, not just in DiGi Charat but…ever? I don’t remember why. I think she’s very cute but rewatching it as an adult over the years Dejiko is definitely the best character to me now.

The character I would totally smooch: none of them tbh

The character I’d want to be like: there is not a single decent role model in this franchise

The character I’d slap: n/a

A pairing that I love: the concept of digi charat shipping is very bizarre to me, so pass

A pairing that I despise: as above

On the Two Romeos

It’s no secret that of the two, I favour Furukawa Yuta as Romeo. He’s the Romeo I most looked forward to, the one I was excited above all to see. But as I continue with my exploration of both versions, I’ve come to appreciate Ohno Takuro as well. His Romeo is, however, vastly different to Furukawa Yuta’s, and I’d like to take a moment to get into the subtleties of each performance.

Furukawa Yuta’s Romeo is one of many expressions. Here is one:

In this image, Furukawa (seemingly effortlessly) captures the gentle, fond annoyance Romeo seems to have towards his cousin. It’s in his body language, of course, but also in the turn of his mouth, the way he avoids eye contact. Ohno’s Romeo expresses his frustration in a different way.

And here! Furumeo’s playful exasperation with his friends, who’ve pulled a juvenile but amusing prank on him! Despite himself, Romeo laughs, smiles in a way that reaches his eyes. Look at his relaxed posture, his complete comfort with these companions!

It’s playful, but almost patronising in a way, as if Ohno!Romeo feels like he needs to treat Benvolio as a child in order to get across to him. It’s gentle, it’s still familiar, but a little bit as though he’s talking down to Benvolio.

And this isn’t the only difference! What kind of an analysis would this be if I stuck to one moment? There is far too much to cover in one “short” tumblr essay. I’ll cover the basics.

Vocally, Furukawa Yuta and Ohno Takuro are very different. While it might sound unkind to describe Furukawa as more vocally proficient, I find him to be so. He pours emotion into every line, and in general seems a little more confident in his vocal ability (or at least more practiced). Expression, too, seems to come more easily to Furukawa, who shines in Act Two as a gentle, broken Romeo who struggles to remain upright under the weight of his actions.

Here, Furumeo shows true horror at what he’s done. He freezes, face twisting with anguish, before he pushes himself away from Tybalt. Without speaking, Furukawa Yuta delivers through his face and body a glimpse of the emotions Romeo must be feeling. Compare to Ohnomeo, who pushes Tybalt away violently, appearing shocked, but not tearful.

It may be hard to tell from this gif, but Romeo pushes Tybalt away here as an almost immediate reaction to what he’s done. As you might also be able to tell, Ohno’s face is more neutral in this scene than Furukawa’s.

Apologies in advance, but from here on out it’s (mostly) Furukawa. In this gif, note the genuine tears on Furumeo’s face. He appears genuinely devastated, as one might upon hearing news of their banishment. He reaches for Benvolio, stops himself, and doubles over in grief.

Look at the way he startles when Death touches his arm, as though for a moment he considered just walking away without the poison, and Death has shocked him back into a painful reality.

And now, after all that pain, I leave you with a gif of Kimura Tatsunari falling over. It has nothing to do with the minor essay I just posted, but enjoy it anyway.

Princess Dejiko Bio

Gender: Female

Age: 10

Occupation: Princess; Employee at Gamers (original series); Employee at a toy store (Di Gi Charat Nyo!)

Family: King and Queen of Di Gi Charat (parents) 

Likes: Sweets, sleeping, manga, Boys Love stories, Puchiko, messing with Usada, pop idol Akari, her home planet, her parents, blasting Gema with her eye beam, defeating the Black Gema Gema Gang, doing whatever she wants, planet Earth.

Dislikes: Being woken up when sleeping, working, Puchiko in danger, being away from home, not seeing her parents, Usada (sometimes), Gema ordering her around, not having food, people insulting Akari, her friends’ businesses being shut down, people not believing that she is an alien princess, the Black Gema Gema Gang.

Description: Dejiko is the princess of Planet Di Gi Charat. She lived a life of luxury for most of her life, until she was forced to come to Earth. In the 1999 series, Di Gi Charat, Dejiko came to Earth to become a celebrity after her home planet was attacked by Planet Analogue (her planet won the war though). In the 2002 series, Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat, Dejiko remains on her home planet and dedicates her life to helping others with her friends. In the 2003 series, Di Gi Charat Nyo!, Dejiko is sent to Earth by her mother for princess training, but then decides that she wants to become an actress to be a perfect princess. In the 2006-2007 OVA, Winter Garden, Dejiko is a human teenage girl who falls in love with a boy her age. Dejiko is always accompanied by her best friend, Puchiko, and her servant/caretaker Gema. 

Personality

In most of the shows, Dejiko is lazy, selfish, and destructive. Having grown-up spoiled and living the life of royalty, Dejiko often does her own thing and blasts people with her Eyebeam if she is angry. But in Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat, Dejiko is kind, caring and determined to help others. In Winter Garden, she is kind yet shy high school girl. But in all of the other adaptions, she has the same destructive and spoiled personality that she has in the first series. Despite her selfishness, she does show moments of kindness and worry towards others. For example, she is kind and protective of her best friend Puchiko. She also does care for her employers, as she is determined to save their business from failing. She also loves her parents greatly and misses them while she is away on Earth. She also does show some worry about her nemesis, Piyoko, who lives in poverty and is always hungry from lack of proper meals. Dejiko tries to hide her softer side.

Relationships

Puchiko: Puchiko is Dejiko’s best friend from Planet Di Gi Charat. Despite being 5 years old, Puchiko is a bit more mature than Dejiko. The two of them are always seen together and hardly ever separate. Puchiko looks up to Dejiko and is greatly dedicated to her, as she willingly comes to Earth with her and goes along with her crazy shenanigans. How the two of them met is unknown, as the story changes with each series. In Winter Garden, Puchiko is Dejiko’s younger sister. 

Gema: Gema is Dejiko’s caretaker/servant from Planet Di Gi Charat. Gema is often the victim of Dejiko’s rage and is the one who gets hit by her Eye Beam the most out of everyone. Gema keeps track of Dejiko’s progress to become a proper princess, but will often get sucked into her craziness. Gema hopes that one day, Dejiko will become a proper princess so they can return to Planet Di Gi Charat. He has known Dejiko her whole life and claims to know her better than anyone. 

Hikaru Usada/Rabi~en~Rose: Usada is a 14 year old girl and Dejiko’s self-proclaimed rival. Like Dejiko, Usada’s goal is to one day become a famous idol. When dressed in her idol outfit, she goes by the name ‘Rabi~en~Rose’, and hates it when Dejiko calls her by her real name instead of her idol persona name. Dejiko doesn’t care about being Usada’s rival, but will not hesitate to compete with her if she likes the prize that comes with it. Despite the hostilities between the two, they do secretly care about each other and will help each other out if needed. Usada secretly doesn’t want Dejiko to leave Earth.

Takuro Minagawa: Takuro is a young boy who appears in Di Gi Charat. He is a normal, human boy who likes melon bread and trading cards. He is a frequent customer at Gamers, and has a secret crush on Usada (whom he goes to school with). Takuro thinks of Dejiko as a strange girl and is sometimes frightened by her. He is unaware that Dejiko draws him in her Boys Love comics. 

Takuro Kimura: Kimura (not related to Minagawa) is a wealthy, young man in Di Gi Charat. Kimura often frequents Gamers. He does not interact with Dejiko much, as he adores Puchiko due to her cuteness. Dejiko is sometimes annoyed by him and vice versa. He is unaware that Dejiko draws him in her BL comics. 

Gamers Manager: Manager appears in Di Gi Charat and is the one who allows Dejiko, Puchiko and Gema to live in his store. Manager is a very patient and calm man who cares about Dejiko, and is very used to her antics. She also cares about him, as she becomes angry when his store is close to shutting down and it takes a stressful toll on him. He makes cameo appearances in Di Gi Charat Nyo!.

The Black Gema Gema Gang: The Black Gema Gema Gang are an “evil” organization from the Planet Analogue. The gang consists of four members: Princess Piyokola, Rik (a 26 year old veterinarian), Ky (a 17 year old dentist), and Coo (a 12 year old doctor). Piyoko’s parents attempted to take over Planet Di Gi Charat, but failed miserably and fled to a far away resort, not planning on returning until Piyoko turned 13. Piyoko is only two years younger than Dejiko and tries to kidnap her so she can sell Dejiko for ransom. Dejiko often defeat the gang, and Piyoko is jealous that Dejiko has it better than her. Despite the hostilities, Dejiko does show some worry towards Piyoko and often doesn't;\’t take her seriously. There have been times when Piyoko shows that she wants to be friends with Dejiko, and often calls her ‘big sister’. 

Rinna: Rinna is a baker from Planet Di Gi Charat. Rinna is an old friend of Dejiko who used to play with her. She is often sleeping and often annoys Dejiko because of it. Despite her sleepiness, she is a fast baker who creates delicious sweets. In Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat, she helps Dejiko help people. 

Mike: Mike is a fisherman from Planet Di Gi Charat. Mike is an old friend of Dejiko’s from when they were children. Mike is a young girl who is full of energy and adventure. She is a tomboy who is very strong and determined to catch many fish. Dejiko finds it hard to keep up with her, since she is so energized and strong. In Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat, she helps Dejiko help people. 

Yasushi and Kiyoshi Omocha: Yasuchi is the 24 year old owner of Super Omo-chan toy store. He is an eccentric young man who makes strange, and often dangerous, toys that he finds appealing. Dejiko often finds him annoying and claims that he will create more strange toys if she works at the toy store, which is often her reason for not working. He allows Dejiko and Gema to live with him and his younger brother, Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi, on the other hand, is more normal than his older brother. He is 14 years old and tries to live a normal life, despite having aliens living with him. Dejiko is not as annoyed by him, and does see him as the more level-headed one. Yasushi and Kiyoshi often worry about Dejiko and don’t want her to leave Earth. They appear in Di Gi Charat Nyo!.

Hey you. Someone, somewhere is probably making a very naughty doujinshi about you. What are you going to do about it?

“It’s nice that laser eye beams exist-nyo.”

“You know no better, Digiko-gema. You once thought about making a naughty doujinshi about Takuro Kimura and Takuro Minagawa-gema.”

“(Geez, you still remember Episode 7-nyo?) Yeah, and then I bounced you like a basketball-nyo. You were ruining my fun-nyo.”

“You were being pretty mean, you know-gema.”

“You were trying to crush me when you got inflated with water-nyo. That’s more mean than me bouncing you like a ball-nyo.”

“That’s because you kicked me into the ocean-gema!”

“Are you done yet-nyo?”
