Keep thinking how immature Aoi gets in Wrathful, I'm so delighted lol Think about it this way: one of the important lessons Iori Hida 02 has to learn in order to grow up is to be able to contextualize his actions within the possibilities the circumstances offer so he can choose what causes less harm or is more fair beyond strict adherence to clear cut rules. His extremely black and white morality signals how childish he is (and this is fine because he's 9, I find very endearing how righteous he wants to be). Yet, in Wrathful, Aoi basically regresses to that kind of inflexible mentality. Every body must obey strictly (which she reads as well behaved), everyone must know their place and not act out of it, there must be no fighting nor conflict. She holds no nuance nor compassion for anyone that doesn't follow her rules to a tee.

Aoi even struggles with paralysis caused by her moralitiy crisis, too. While Iori's about lying and thust tailored to the fact he's 9, at the core of it is struggling to reconcile how acting in a way that is fair clashes with his view of what is correct behavior, which trips Aoi up, too. She gets a similar blockage where she feels incredibly torn if what she wants to do goes against social order. Thinking about how she also felt Shuuji was being unfair, so she likely wanted to do something more than just keeping her juniors in line... And in the end, couldn't even commit to preserving harmony that way because of her self-doubt about her own capacities as leader and troubled convictions. It feels very pointed that in part 6, Aoi is promising to actually get involved in mediating the group fights, coming at the tails of what happened with Shuuji.

Anyway, I love how we get that peek to her internal struggles in Wrathful. Like she correctly identifies as part of the issue that she can't step out of what she considers correct (and makes a lot of sense how much she likes the flippant Saki lol), yet Wrathful has her doubling down. I love the irony.

I also really enjoy how different her spin on a scrupolous work ethic is to Iori's because their different social positions (Iori being the youngest vs Aoi always being responsible for others), their age and gender. Endlessly fascinating to me.

Everyone in Digimon World -next 0rder-: Oh man, it's so weird you have TWO partners! Usually people only have one! You must be very special to have two!

Akira, Atsushi (Junior), the Digimon Story protagonists, Koh, Sayo, Shuu, Kizuna, Takumi, Ami, and Keisuke running around with three Digimon all the time:

@rurulaura replied to your post “It's funny how Tagiru & Gumdramon (and Young...”:

What’s the excuse for leaving out haru though?! Don’t give me appmon isn’t digimon non sense. ☹️😭 appmon is underrated digimon

​Haru is not present in the Digica (yet), but Toei does count Appmon as digimon entry. It's Bandai who couldn't commit to it until this year.

And yeah, sorry to say this but they definitely count Appmon as a different type of Digimon critter -- the anime is was we account as digimon entry, but the mons are some sort of its own thing, and even in Appmon anime they point out that they're the successors of the Digimon (in the end of the Agumon episode)

And until now i don't think they found a solution for that? Appmon has its own mechanic, so it would've been hard to add in a classic-like digimon environment. Possibly they will figure things out someday and fully put Appmon in a traditional digimon game/TCG/V-pet (i think Habu wanted to add them in the games? but i don't remember where i read this before...? I wonder if the new producer he trained will find a way to do that...)

I know this sounds harsh, but i can see why Haru would be not there. But Tagiru/Gumdramon are indeed main branch/classic Digimon and they keep either skipping them or counting them as protags.

You know I actually never realized this before-- so you remember how tri. retconned Original Chosen fighting and defeating Apocalymon into them fighting the Dark Masters instead? (To be fair it is possible they could've ALSO fought Apocalymon afterwards but that isn't the Epic Final Showdown tri. decided to depict so it's borderline a retcon)

If the Original 5 Chosen fought and defeated the Dark Masters once in the distant past, doesn't that mean that

A) They survived and hid for just a few thousand years until they came back for a Round 2 at conquering the world

B) They died, were reborn, and THEN went for the Round 2

You know I've just DYING with curiosity, desperately wanting to know if any of the villians in Adventure would ever be reborn after Adventure, right. Because according to the lore they should, right (unless their data was like somehow absorbed by Apocalymon and destroyed along with him (though that would still leave Piemon as an exception (and Vamdemon but we all know what happened to him) and the sole survivor))

And what tri. has essentially done is confirm that most of them should, in fact, be reborn sooner or later

But that just raises the question of if Apocalymon was lowkey driving the Dark Masters nuts (as suggested by the novels), and if tri. was kind of about destroying the last remnants of Apocalymon's data (within Meicoomon), if they were reborn this time would they be free of Apocalymon's influence

If so, would their third (?) lives then turn out different? Would they still try to take over the world all over again for funsies (this time just without Apocalymon giving them power etc), or were they just the same as Ken was in Zero Two? I mean Apocalymon was supposed to be a spawn of Milleniummon and Ken was infected with Mille's malice directly, so while it may have been a bit filtered it was still the same source of malice and corruption, right

And like regardless of how their next lives would turn out, shouldn't the kids (OR AT THE VERY FUCKING LEAST GENNAI) like realize that this is going to happen eventually and like. Go and see if they can find them (either as their pre-Ultimate forms or even when they're still in their Eggs) and try to figure out what to do BEFORE shit hits the fan

person who voted that I’d like the beginning more than the tri movies: I feel like you should know I am one of the biggest tri lovers there is. that was the least safe bet there. that said I admire your guts.

Okay there is something really funny about one of our main samefoods on rotation being pizza.

Like, multiple different kinds of frozen pizzas specifically. Your Red Barons full size zas, the French bread pizzas, your Party Pizzas, your Hot Pockets.

There is also something equally funny about how much we just really like the crust of most pizza (when it actually has crust).

You could argue that Hot Pockets are all crust. You could argue that the French bread pizzas are of equal crust to top ratio since it's a pizza mounted on a slice of bread.

Either way you slice it, us having two Apo fictives and being like, both extremely picky about pizza and incessant about how much we eat it, is just funny.

Man oh man I love seeing the kids have differing feelings about Ken after he stops being the Digimon Kaiser. Especially the contrast between how Daisuke views him and how Iori views him

My digimon :]

[afooldyedinfolly]

I'll literally never get over for how like years I had like a red string pinboard conspiracy about how Kazu was originally supposed to be Justimon and the 4th Main Character and not Ryo that I had to constantly frame as Hey Wouldn't This Be Cool (no one thinks this is cool bc I'm the only guy who likes Kazu) bc everyone thought I was nuts only to find out years later that yeah no actually I was more or less right and that was the original plan. That was wild.

Grandracmon in art work and concept: Looks like he came straight out of Berserk.

Grandracmon's design imo: Reminds me of Scylla and Cerberus, two very METAL monsters in greek mythology.

Grandracmon when he runs in Cyber Sleuth: Like a guy strapped to two derpy rottweilers.
