"It matched wits with the {Chosen Child} {Koushiro[u] Izumi} on several occasions"...

When your Fav gets mentioned randomly or not! in a new Journal official entry in relation to specifically Mugendramon, because Adv Eps 48~49 totally weren't all about this encounter.

"The demand for Mugendramon resulted in subsequent roles"... (That Too.)

(No but seriously this is a cool name-drop, glad to see Koushiro['s wits] got {canonically} recognized {again}!)

Further original commentary under ‘read more’!

A golem, {in Jewish texts and Jewish folklore} is a clay creature that has been magically brought to life. The name comes from the Hebrew word “golem,” which means something incomplete or unfinished, like an embryo.

In popular legend, however, the golem became a kind of folk hero. Tales of mystical rabbis creating life from dust abounded, particularly in the Early Modern period, and inspired such tales as Frankenstein and “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.”  Sometimes the golem saves the Jewish community from persecution or death, enacting the kind of heroism or revenge unavailable to powerless Jews. Often, however, Jewish folktales about the golem tell what happens when things go awry — when the power of life-force goes astray, often with tragic results.

The classic narrative of the golem tells of how Rabbi Judah Loew of Prague (known as the Maharal; 1525-1609) creates a golem to defend the Jewish community from antisemitic attacks. But eventually, the golem grows fearsome and violent, and Rabbi Loew is forced to destroy it. (Legend tells that the golem remains in the attic of the Altneushul in Prague, ready to be reactivated if needed; this legend reappeared in Michael Chabon’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay). Likewise in Paul Wegener’s expressionist film The Golem (1920), the golem is a brutish creature whose powers are all-too-easily turned to destructive ends.

This is, of course, a perfect encapsulation of the same anxiety that underlies so much of the mystical speculation about demons, dybbuks, ghosts, and golems: The power of life is so strong, that it brings both promise and terror.

BONUS:

OPs commentary:

Before talking about in-depth or ‘reviewing’ this episode, I’d very much like if the fanbase could keep in mind not only the said folklore that blatantly inspired this Digimons’ design and canonical lores, but also be careful in their commentaries about this episode as a result.

They are a very specifically Jewish folklore, and within our storytelling tradition are pretty complex creatures created to protect, but with potential for destruction. Often golems are taken out of that context, by people who are not Jewish, to be used just as monsters.

For many folks that isn’t an issue, but for others (myself included) that feels a bit uncomfortable, as the (perhaps unintended) message can be seen as “creatures that protect Jewish people are really monsters.”

[Keeping this information] in mind and being AWARE of the history of the golem in our folklore will prevent issues relevant to handling this topic. {Especially if you are considering either commentating on the character itself, the story within the episode portrayed along with it, or using or referring to the character within future fanworks.}

Digimon Adventures / Tri ~ VARIOUS P R I D E Icons for character Meiko Mochizuki {Tri} + flag icon bases by @izzyizumi​ !

BONUS:

OP’s commentary: I don’t know which Adventures fans need to hear this (I DO) but a) Meiko Mochizuki Can Be ANY Of These Headcanons b) This fandom made me Appreciate Meiko c) Regarding the Taichi x Meiko (Meichi) pairing specifically:

from THIS interview: Digimon Adventure tri. Memorial Book — Lead writer Yuuko Kakihara interview translated by DigiLab (italics/bolding mine for emphasis)

–Taichi and Meiko also seemed to have formed a certain bond between them. Toei / Tri staffs’ Answer: To be honest, the relationship between those two was not something we particularly had in mind.

But since we had certain expectations of how the fans would react to a new character barging in, and since we were also thinking about what we know about Taichi and his friends in the future, we ended up putting Meiko in a position where she comes and leaves.

^ Literally, Toei / Tri writers are TELLING YOU THIS

d) Meichi as a ship is still fine. You can STILL ship it. It is very much valid - also as Toei seems to have blatantly implied “it’s fine to see it that way” - ALSO as it is a ship involving two P.O.C (Japanese), who DO NOT have the same rep in fandom as White characters’ ships e) You also don’t have to ship Meichi AND can have alternative headcanons - for both Taichi and Meiko

f) Q u e e r headcanons involving dishonesty (such as using these as means of pushing away a character for so-called “getting in the way of your ship”, OR invalidating other headcanons) are BAD. Please DON’T use them for this reason.

{DO NOT REPOST} {DO NOT REMOVE CAPTION} {IF YOU DO THIS, I WILL KNOW} {DO NOT TAG AS “Q SLUR”, “Q WORD” OR ANY SIMILAR VARIANT} {PLEASE TAG ONLY AS “ QUEER ” OR L.G.B.T.Q.I.A.(P.N)+} {DO NOT DISCOURSE ON MY POSTS OR DERAIL THEM } {MY POSITIVITY POSTS ARE NOT FOR YOUR DISCOURSE }

Digimon Frontier ~ Japanese version Episode 50 Seraphimon & OPHANIMON - Part of the Three Great Angels (+with CHERUBIMON)

“If you combine the powers of the 10 Holy Warriors into one You will SURELY WIN”

“WILL YOU { F I G H T } ?” “OR...”

O[ph]animon - From the ophanim/ofanim, a class of celestial beings in late sections of the Book of Enoch where with the Cherubim and Seraphim they never sleep, but guard the throne of God. They are also [*in JUDAISM specifically] depicted as eye-covered wheels (each composed of two nested wheels), that move next to the winged Cherubim, beneath the throne of God.

Ofani = From Ofanim, an alternative spelling of Ophanim (אוֹפָנים) (「オファニム」 Ofanimu) is the third highest rank of angels. Their name literally means "Wheels" and are often depicted as burning wheels.

[Note the two large wheels composing of Ophanimon’s design, below]:

[Note: “God” as an entity technically also exists in the Digimon multiverse.]

Further Reading: Angels In Judaism The Hebrew word for angel, mal’ach, means messenger, and the angels in early biblical sources deliver specific information or carry out some particular function. In later biblical texts, angels are associated with visions and prophesies and are given proper names. Later rabbinic and kabbalistic sources expand on the concept of angels even further, describing a broad universe of named angels with particular roles in the spiritual realm.

In the books of the prophets, angels continue to carry out their function as messengers, but they are also associated with visions and prophecies. One particularly detailed account is recorded in the first chapter of Ezekiel. The prophet encounters four creatures (chayot in Hebrew) that resemble human beings, but each has four faces (human, lion, ox and eagle), four wings and their legs are fused into a single leg.

A parallel vision is recorded in the 10th chapter, only there the angels are described as cherubs.

Digimon Adventures ~ Japanese version featuring DUO/SHIP: Yamato Ishida (Yamato “Matt” Ishida in US) x Sora Takenouchi {SORATO} ~  MOMENTS & INTERACTIONS + IMPORTANT DIALOGUES / QUOTES + SMALL MOMENTS

{Do Not Repost or Reproduce my Image Captures without my Permission} {Do Not Remove Caption} (Please ASK to Use)

OPs commentary: Every time someone in this fandom tries to tell me Sorato “never interacted” or “never had moments where they talked to/supported each other” I’m going to show them this compilation and tell them “Please recognize the US dub was drastically altered from the original (+heavily Americanized in general) and just because you try to claim that incessantly, it doesn’t mean these moments and interactions weren’t there.”

BONUS:

{Jou may have been here [and equally important!] in this scene too but Yamato’s presence specifically was significant for Sora as well.}

{Gomamon grabs specifically Yamato’s doll; Sora immediately throws it without hesitation, fully and completely / intentionally near-sacrificing HER OWN LIFE to save everyone which, yes, includes Yamato himself.}

{Taichi is the one asking if it’s “homemade”. In Japan, it is often considered significant if someone makes homemade sweets/food for their crush/partner, usually because more emphasis overall is placed on homemade food given as gifts to romantic partners, for “confessions”, etc. For example, on Valentines Day in Japan, girls may give “obligation chocolates” to boys they’re on more casual or friendly terms with as a customary gift, and “honmei choco” [‘True Feelings’ chocolate] to romantic partners. Such would often given to husbands, boyfriends, and desired partners. Honmei chocolate is usually higher-quality and more expensive than giri choco (the "obligation chocolate"), which is given to male coworkers and other men the woman has no romantic attachment to.} [^some information via Wikipedia articles ‘giri choco’ and ‘honmei choco’] and though the above scene isn’t referencing Valentines Day, the significance of giving homemade food/sweets is still important, because {Note: the above regarding Valentines’ is also still relevant to them in a certain drama CD [that takes place on Valentines] referenced below.}

regarding Christmas in Japan: Encouraged by commerce, the “secular” (not-religious) celebration of Christmas is popular in Japan, though Christmas is not a national holiday. Gifts are sometimes exchanged. Christmas parties are held around Christmas Day; Christmas Eve {December 24} has become a holiday for couples to spend time together and exchange gifts. - via Wiki article “Observance of Christmas by country” {under ‘Japan’} [the above scene and below one happens on December 24th.]

{Jun Motomiya [who had been crushing on Yamato]-vision (her physical vision as she was there at the concert reacting immediately after this) complete with lighthearted music and “sparkly” sound effect in the Japanese version.} [The resulting effect is also Jun giving up on Yamato.] {not long after this Jun immediately becomes interested in Shuu Kido, Jou’s oldest brother of the two Kido brothers.}

{Physical contact / arms around the shoulder.}

{if it wasn’t obvious here he was very clearly asking Sora to come see his concert.}

{She then frets anxiously about trying to attend what she’s invited to.}

{Sora very casually speaking for Yamato. Mimi jokingly [not seriously] calls him “tsundere” in turn.} [Note: I’m aware this scene contains other characters. It’s still relevant for Sora & Yamato’s relationship too. Also, it’d be nice if you could consider the rest of this entire post too.]

{Sora is the first to stand up in response to Yamato’s firm words.}

{the full scene is a bit too long and plot-spoilery to include here so I’ll probably make a separate post for it soon, but it’s right after Yamato & Sora talk and also attempt on both ends to provide comfort to each other in the final Tri movie “Bokura no Mirai” / “Our Future”.}

{Yamato is the one to mention Sora and bring up her career goals.} (Kizuna)

Mini-FAQ & clarifications (for this post):

Why did you make this compilation?

a) Because I am tired of various others in this fandom [+usually they are White and/or American/U.K./Western fans] (completely seriously!) trying to tell me these two “never interacted” when I can point out pretty much any and every instance (small or significant) where they have, in fact, interacted. I also have the entire Japanese version of Adventures on hand, which certainly helps in making such a compilation and pointing out these things. b) because those issues aside, it can be a genuinely useful reference for both myself, my mutuals (if they ship these two or not), and anyone else who could use it when trying to reference canonical lines and interactions. But in all honesty I really just made this for me. Because I like to use such posts as references. c) Because I wanted to. d) There were various other scattered meta / analysis posts from over the years that pointed out many of these scenes and lines and their contexts in the original version much better than I can describe on my own (despite making a slight attempt here), but these moments can still often be overlooked a lot, {especially by Western fans} so I decided to collect everything I was able to (+fit) into a reference post. This post only covers the Adventures anime. They’ve also had blatant references to them “dating” in the {yes, canonical} drama CD Michi e no Armor Shinka / Armor Evolution to the Unknown, where Yamato quite literally yells “SORA I LOVE YOU” during a battle moment. (...Like, look, I’m literally just pointing out the canon here.)

{someone who often bashes other Adventures characters, especially if Sora herself, or other Adventure Chosen ships/ship fandoms}: Can I interact with this post {+if I intend to debate you}?

NO. Unless you’re genuinely willing to consider these things, I’d rather you not. Please leave. & I am Not here to “explain” this ship further to you Seriously if you ignore this and try to force-interact anyway I will block I BET you’re just some Sorato Stan TM who is turning their nose down on other ships with them by daring to make this post / contents for them! {legit actual thing I’ve had implied at me once because people never read my FAQ nor noticed contents I’ve MADE AND, others I’ve SUPPORTED for various other such ships} - Please actually read my linked FAQ, my ship list, and also my sidebar. Because the sidebar also mentions most of my other top ships and OTPs. (If you haven’t done this it is Not my fault.)

You only like this ship BECAUSE [x reason asker personally finds insignificant for some reason]! I have a tag you should read in general if you’re new to my blog. There’s some posts there like this, this and this. {and yes the posts linked are relevant to this ship.}

{FINAL NOTE: I’m pretty sure I got most major moments here but there’s still some scattered other small-but-notable moments I’ll probably make other posts for in the future. -TO PEOPLE WHO INTERACT/REBLOG: Please regard all the information/rules listed on this post. This includes if you reblog positively.}
