Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna vs Digimon Adventure [2020 Reboot] ~ Episodes 22 & 23 ~ COMPARISONS & DETAILS featuring: THE NETWORK (Referred to with “Cyberspace” in Kizuna) + role of The Network in Digimon Adventure 2020 Italics and Bolding below are mine / highlighting for emphasis!

"IS KOUSHIRO NEVER COMING BACK?" (From the Network?)

{referencing when Koushiro travelled through the Network since the end of Episode 3 onwards for some episodes}

"(laughing) NO, NO" "HE WILL"

"he comes back" "what is he?" (they continue to joke/laugh) "like a middle man?"

"Koushiro acts as the brains of the operation for Taichi" "and while Taichi does the physical stuff, Koushiro gives advice and intel," "and Sora and Yamato jump in to help solve problems and fight" "slowly, they come to realize that they have to protect" "the people in the Real World."

"Koushiro is in the 'Network'", where Taichi was active in Episodes 1 through 3

"Koushiro's character is supposed to be internet savvy," "so we wanted him to study the Network and Digital World holistically."

"So we purposely separated him."

"Something or someone's will could be at work ..."

"Maybe, maybe not."

"But to them,

EVERYTHING is NEW and MYSTERIOUS."

Digimon Adventure Tri ~ Episode 11 / Movie 3 [Kokuhaku (Confession)] vs./Near-Direct Parallels with: Digimon Adventure: (2020 Reboot anime) ~ Episode 14 featuring Koushiro(u) Izumi [“Koushiro ‘Izzy’ Izumi” in US] + Tentomon (tri) / Kabuterimon (2020)’s Pep Talks

“ Nani mo dekinai ! ” - 2020!Koushiro, [“ I can’t do anything ! ”]

“ Nani mo dekinai ! ”

“ Nani mo dekinai... Dekinai, dekinai, dekinai !!! ” [ “ I can’t do anything... ” ] [ “ I can’t, I can’t, I CAN’T !!! ”] - Tri!Koushiro, with increasing distress leading into outright sobbing

BONUS/CONTINUED:

“ ... But, you’re different now. ” “ Seems rough. ” “ Of course ! Think of our situation!! ” (Koushiro then hangs his head down) “ ... Sorry. ... ”

(Tentomon) “ I don’t want to see you like this. ” “ It’s painful. ” (Koushiro) “ Tentomon . . . ” (Tentomon lowers head, then raises it again) “ There’s only one thing to do. ” (Koushiro startles in response) --

(a few moments later) “ ... A Reboot ? ” (Tentomon) “ We can’t do that on our own. But if that’s what it comes to ... We Digimon are already prepared. (Koushiro turns back to his computer setup. His shadow is on the screen) “ A Reboot will fix all the issues ? ”

“ IF THERE’S HOPE ...

THEN I CAN MAKE A PLAN ! ”

“ Indeed, Koushiro-han. There’s HOPE. There’s   A CHANCE !  ”

“ ALWAYS     reaching     for  HOPE  and  CHANCES , FRANTICALLY     LEARNING , ”

“ THAT’S THE KOUSHIRO-HAN     I KNOW ! ” - Tri!Tentomon, thinking to himself, in the following dialogue

OP’s commentary:

... So are we as a fandom not going to talk about how DigiAdv 2020′s Episode 14′s resolution (or the START of the resolution) of Koushiro’s internal troubles / conflicts / problems is essentially near-exactly the same as in TRI / KOKUHAKU ?

Or this?:

“ Is it wrong to WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ?” - Koushiro in Adventure Episode 24 (Japanese)

OR THIS?:

from the Digimon Adventure novels written by Adv director Kakudou:

- from the chapter reflecting Adventure Episode 28, the scene where Koushiro helps to figure out the cards

... Or am I going to have to keep making all these Koushiro canonical scenes comparisons posts MYSELF ???

^ - IZUMI FAMILY; Adventure Episode 38:

(Koushiro to Izumis) “I tried to pretend I hadn’t heard anything. I thought that by acting normal, things would stay as they did before ... But I couldn’t do it. The more I tried to act as if things hadn’t changed, the more [strange/weirder] it felt ... In the end... I grew drawn to my computer so I wouldn’t have to show anyone MY TRUE SELF ...”

(closeup on Mr. Izumi, insistently): “ There is NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING INTO COMPUTERS ! ”

(Koushiro looks up, surprised): “Father...” (Mr. Izumi): “That trait of yours is what     MAKES YOU WHO YOU ARE. ”

+ more on “ You don’t have to change yourself for us ” (at the link !)

2020!Koushiro, Episode 14:

“ I was so desperate to be EVERYONE’S HELP ALL THE TIME ... IT BECAME DEFAULT FOR ME to always make judgements through this [TABLET]. I had forgotten about my OWN SELF, ... WHO WAS SITTING IN FRONT OF THE MONITOR. ” “ Until you reminded me, KABUTERIMON. ”

“ EVEN MACHINES have days WHEN THEY DON’T FEEL WELL, LIKE HUMANS. When that happens, you just have to reassess your abilities and overcome ! ” - 2020!Kabuterimon to Koushiro

Digimon Adventure + Digimon Adventure: (2020 Reboot Anime) ~ Comparisons / Parallels ( + Animation / Character Design Parallels ) + Meta / Character Analysis featuring character: KOUSHIRO(U) [‘Izzy’ in US] Izumi in Digimon Adventure: (2020) Episode 01 vs. Digimon Adventure Episode 24 + Koushiro’s Possessed / Pouty ? / Moody ? Face / Expressions + Koushiro’s canon tendency to NOT pick up on others’ emotions / Connect well

This is a very subtle animation tendency / character aspect of Koushiro’s, that’s actually (thus far!!) only appeared a few times in the series’ canon. Most fans may overlook this aspect of him and his design / implied personality traits, but Koushiro fans in general may tend to pick up on it more often.

Notable aspects of it appeared in Episode 24, the episode where Koushiro first obtained his Crest of Knowledge, and fought Vademon with Tentomon. In this episode, Koushiro gets his “ INQUISITIVE HEART ” (JPN version) taken by Vademon, who convinces Koushiro to “willingly” give it up. Later in the same episode, it becomes particularly noticeable during such instances as: - Koushiro communicating with Taichi via a sudden PC connection, [ the heavily narrowed eyes and subtle blinkings, etc. ] - Koushiro giving up his Crest and “possessions”, - Koushiro yelling at Pabumon who began crying at him, to ‘ not distract him ’ etc.

( ^ Notice how he’s void of emotions at start, but quickly becomes pouty / upset when Pabumon cries notably at him, “distracting” him. ) I was really surprised to see this subtle expression / change in his typical character design actually appear suddenly again in Digimon Adventure 2020 Ep. 01 - we hadn’t really seen it much at all since Episode 24!! ... But at the same time, I’m also kind of not surprised? Japanese fandom has seemed to pick up on the expression more often than Western fandom has - it’s appeared often, at times, in Japanese fandom fanarts, especially those featuring Episode 24 Inquisitive Heart-less!Koushiros in general. It’s particularly noticeable in a LOT of older Koushiro doujinshi from particular circles of the early 2000s era, which tend to emphasize the subtle narrowing of Koushiro’s eyes and the odd “roundness” of his face/cheeks that is emphasized by this subtle style / design change. The little marks under his eyes, as well. Not only the narrowing of his eyes, but his eyes tend to become somewhat “blank(er)” during this kind of expression, as well.

Essentially, it is an expression that appears notably on Koushiro when he is having difficulties with his own emotions, and, connecting with others.
