Digimon Adventure Shipping Masterpost - Part 4

Hey, it’s been awhile, hasn’t? 

I haven’t forgotten this series, I’ve just been busy. 

here’s the past parts 

Part 1 Part 2  Part 3

T.K. x Kari ( Takari )

Pros: They’re almost cannon. It’s never confirmed but it’s very obvious through out season two that T.K. at least is in love with Kari. Nothing ever comes from it, but it’s there.  If you like slow burn childhood friends become lovers then this has got you covered. They’re also very protective of one another, and being both the youngest and the longest running digidestined they have a unique shared experience that brings them closer. It’s also fairly drama free.  They’re also the second most popular ship next to Taisora, followed close behind by Taito. They’re also easily the most popular 02 ship, so you’re never lacking for content. 

Cons: They’re kind of boring. Yeah, they’re both generically nice and care about one another but what else? How do they help each other grow and change? Where’s the story?  T.K. and Kari are far more interesting characters when you pair them with anyone but each other, because with other characters there’s more push and pull. Even as friends who tease each other, like in Tri, they’re more interesting when pair platonically as well. 

Personal Ranking (4/10) Yeah, count me as one of the ones who finds this ship dull. I kind of understand where people are coming from when they do ship them, but I also don’t. Other then being ‘cute’, what else is there to them? But I suppose with shipping you don't need to be more than just ‘cute’.  

T.K. x Davis ( Daikeru )

Pros: Rivals to lovers lite. As in they’re technically rivals, but they’re also so laid back and quick to move on that they lack the usual tension and aggression that classic rivals to lovers exhibit. That actually makes them kind of unique and interesting, and helps them to stand out from Taito. 

Cons: If you’re looking for that tension and pining that comes from the standard rivals to lovers trope than this ship isn’t for you. In fact T.K. can’t seemed to bothered with Davis one way or the other most of the time. They mostly hang out together because they have to work together to save the world and have mutual friends, and that’s like it. 

Personal Ranking (5/10) I like it better than Takari but that’s mostly on the strength of Davis being my fav 02 character. Davis can make anything entertaining, but there’s better ships for both of them. 

T.K. x Yolei ( Miyakeru )

Pros It’s the chill dude with the hyperactive assertive girl friend trope. They’re good friends and close in age and get along well with each other. It’s also a cute pairing of the spares route if you prefer Daikari, Kenkari, or even Daiken.

Cons They don’t really show much interest in one another, as they both have canon love interests already, and they’re never shown just hanging out one on one.

Personal Ranking (5/10) You know what, I can kind of see it. It’s not the most interesting ship for these two but there’s room there to explore. 

T.K. x Cody ( Takori )

Pros They are best friends. No, I mean it. They don’t start out that way, but over the course of the show, after the ‘partners arc’ they do become besties. It’s kind of a shame that the series doesn’t explore their friendship more because they have a pretty unique relationship dynamic that no other duo in the show has. So of course if you like best friends to lovers slow burn then this can be a gay option for those of you who aren’t Takari fans.

Cons It’s that lack of exploration that can kill this ship. They don’t hang out one on one enough and the ‘partners arc’ comes a little too late in the season to make as much of an impact as it should. 

Personal Ranking (4/10) This is one of the better Cody ships. Not only is there more interaction between the two characters but they’re also much closer in age, with only like a two to three years difference. (Guys, Cody only skipped one grade, he’s not that young. Please stop babifying him just because he’s short) That said, I do think that their friendship is more interesting than a same old, same old romantic pairing.  

T.K. x Ken ( Kenkeru )

Pros Ok, now this is a classic enemies to lovers trope if you’re into that. Best of all, they’re on equal footing through out their rivalry, so it doesn’t have the more toxic undertones that the trope can fall into on occasion.   

Cons They don’t get a whole lot of one on one interaction. I mean it’s there, they certainly have their moments, but after Ken’s redemption it’s like they never hang out just as buddies. 

Personal Ranking (6/10) I’m normally not a fan of enemies to lovers, but I can get down with this ship because there’s a more healthy level of respect. For once it’s not the hero who is an insecure doormat and the villain isn’t coddled by them. 

T.K. x Willis ( Taklace )

Pros Uh... T.K. met Willis first... I guess? They also share some parallels having both ‘lost’ their digimon, and T.K. was the one to cheer Willis up when Kokomon ‘dies’. So there’s that. 

Cons They barely have any scenes together. Also Willis is kind of a bland character, not going to lie. 

Personal Ranking (3/10) Umm... well, I don’t hate it. It’s just there. It’s a thing that exists. 

T.K. x  Catherine ( Catkeru )

Pros T.K. does openly flirt with her and even gives her a kiss on the cheek. 

Cons Just like with Taicat, there’s really nothing much to Catherine’s character. She’s just there to be flirted at and fought over by the boys. 

Personal Ranking (3/10) Eh...it’s pretty much the same level as Taklace. Willis may have more personality than Catherine, but she and T.K. share more screen time so it’s one to one really. 

T.K. x Jun ( Takjun ) 

Pros This ship is freaken’ hilarious and more people need to realize it’s exitance. The basic premise is that T.K. realizes that his brother is a moron for dumping such a hot babe and basically steals Matt’s ex right out from under his nose. Everyone proceeds to freak the fuck out from there.  What I love so much about it, is that it’s 100% in character; especially after Tri. T.K. is a flirt and a serial ladies man post 02. He’s also the type of guy who loves to stir shit up and then sit back and watch the chaos unfold around him with an innocent smile. Meanwhile Jun herself is chaos incarnate, so they’re perfect for each other really . 

Cons While they do know each other and have certainty met more than once, they don't really share any conversations on screen; which is more the pity. (Jun really, really should have been a digidested, guys.) 

Personal Ranking (7/10) This probably my fav T.K. ship just for the above premise. It’s gloriously hammy and pure fun. 

T.K. x Meiko ( Meikeru )

Pros T.K., being the huge flirt that he is, expresses attraction to Meiko several times through out Tri. So there is a basis for which a more serious ship can grow. Meiko is also the only ‘shy’ girl in the whole series so she fulfills a dynamic here that you couldn’t get from any other het ship in the show. 

Cons If you don’t like Meiko then this won’t appeal to you. It also feels like Takari lite at times, even if Kari herself is more assertive then Meiko.

Personal Ranking (6/10) Out of all the het ships with Meiko, I might like this one the most. There’s a tiny bit of wish fulfilment when the super confident ladies’ man goes after the geeky wallflower. It also helps that T.K. doesn’t coddle her like everyone else at times. 

Kari x Davis ( Daikari ) 

Pros Davis really, really likes her. Also, Kari never outrights dismisses his affections, and if she is uncomfortable with something, she tells him so. It’s a cute ‘friend tries hard to get other friend to notice that they like them’ trope, while still keeping up healthy boundaries.  But more importantly it’s the one Kari ship that actually encourages Kari to grow as a character. When she’s paired with Davis in the series she’s allowed to be something other then just ‘little miss perfect’ or ‘damsel in distress’. She can be annoyed, snarky, even petty at times. She comfortable enough around Davis to express herself even if her emotions aren’t always pleasant, and it’s so refreshing to watch. 

Cons I mean if you hate the ‘guy hopelessly chases after girl’ trope then yeah, you won't like this. Kari never rejects him to his face, but she also doesn’t ever return his feelings either. She’s pretty neutral through out, either remaining oblivious most of the time or just choosing not to react at all to Davis’s more overt advances. 

Personal Ranking (9/10) This is my second favorite ship in the series right behind Jyoumi. Davis is my fav character in 02 and so I do root for him to get the girl. But I also just really like it when Kari is humanized by the narrative and not made into a digital Jesus. It’s when she’s with Davis that she finally feels like a real person and not an aloof, all-knowing goddess.

Kari x Yolei ( Miyakari )

Pros This is the only potential lesbian ship in 02 that gets any real screen time. They’re also best friends and ‘opposites attract’ topes if you like those. 

Cons They’re also the only strong female friendship in 02 as well, especially since Mimi was shipped off to New York during this season. (Seriously, who’s stupid idea was that?) I totally get it if you prefer to keep them as friends and go with one of the less obvious femslash pairings instead. 

Personal Ranking (5/10) It’s not bad, but there’s better ships out there for them. 

Kari x Cody ( Kariori ) 

Pros If you like ‘birds of a feather’ tropes then this is your bag. Both Kari and Cody are very similar archetypes; introverted, serious, the voices of reason, and probably suffer from PSTD given all the shit they’ve both been through.  

Cons They might be too much alike, honestly. There’s no contrast for them to really bounce off of, which is why they rarely hang out together outside of group scenes. 

Personal Ranking (3/10) In terms of age gaps it’s no different then Takori, but there’s less of an on screen connection between them. 

Kari x Ken ( Kenkari ) 

Pros There’s a lot of interesting parallels between them. Ken pretty much functions as a darker version of Kari’s story. As such, they do hold a special connection and Kari can reach out to Ken in a way that no one else is able to.  There’s also the ever present ‘enemies to lovers’ trope if you want to go that route. 

Cons The series never fully explores the parallels that it sets up. Outside of an episode or two, Ken and Kari rarely interact. As such the pairing can come across as very flat. 

Personal Ranking (5/10) Eh, I can take it or leave it. It has potential but it’s very undercooked, IMO.  

Kari x Willis ( Wakari ) 

Pros Willis kisses her once.... that’s pretty much it. 

Cons Willis kisses her once.... and that’s pretty much it. 

Personal Ranking (2/10) What else is there to say? Willis himself is boring and he barely interacts with Kari. Him kissing her was more about making Davis and T.K. jealous anyways. 

Kari x Jun ( Junkari ) 

Pros This here because Takjun made it onto the list and it’s only fair to have the gay equivalent. There’s also a lot of freedom to explore given that their canon dynamic is left open ended. All we know is that Kari sticks up for Jun when Davis talks about her behind her back, but Jun is not around to see it so... 

Cons There’s no canon interaction. We only know that they know each other because of Davis. 

Personal Ranking (4/10) It lacks the comedic potential of other Jun ships and can come across as Miyakari lite. Still, I can see how they could work as supportive girlfriends. 

Kari x Meiko ( MeiKari )

Pros They get some cute scenes together in Tri, they’re both the introverts of the group, and it’s more queer rep. It’s also a bit of a role reversal for Kari to be protective of someone else instead of being ‘the moe’ herself. 

Cons They might be too similar. Kari isn’t shy like Meiko is, but she is pretty quite and soft spoken most of the time. 

Personal Rankings (4/10) Just like with Takari, it’s ‘cute’, but what else is there? 

That’s part 4 done. Only two more to go.

The Digimon Adventure Fan’s Guide to Appmon Shipping

Tired of waiting for the next tri. movie? Eager to get invested and let your ships sail in another Digimon series, but finding that the others aren’t quite hacking it? You’re in luck! Appmon is a hotbed for shipping right now! If you’re late to the party and need to get up to flank speed in a hurry, here’s a guide to the nine main Appmon ships, each with two Adventure ships listed for an easy comparison!

Haru/Yuujin- Taiora + Taishiro

This is the ship for you if you like longtime friends that care deeply for each other with tons of obvious hints that suggest they’re destined for each other! One’s more of a go-getter and one’s more calm and caring, but it serves to make them a better partnership.

Check it out if you’re into the idea of an athletic leader forging a strong relationship with someone a little quieter and more bookish. They have a tight friendship, and maybe more, despite... or maybe even because of, their differences.

Haru/Ai- Takari + Daikari

Aren’t they just the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen? They’re not the loudest, and sure it’ll take them forever for one of them to actually come out and say something, but they’ve been close friends for a while and they’re always supporting each other, so it’s only a matter of time before romance blossoms.

Besides, it was spelled out right in the very first episode that he has a crush on her. She may not feel the same way now, but surely with all the time they spend together, she’ll see what makes him so special.

Rei/Haru- Daiken + Taiyama

Look, this kid has had a rough time of it. For all of the tragedies and setbacks in his life, threatening to strip away everything he holds dear, the one thing saving him from the brink has been the support of a rival-turned-friend, one who refuses to give up on someone in need even when his other friends doubt him.

At the same time, a confrontational, anti-social attitude makes for a tense, awkward relationship where both struggle to properly express their feelings. In other words- super hot.

Tora/Eri- Daiyako + Sokeru

Right from the get-go, these two got under the other’s skin, and it’s been a blast watching them slowly come to trust and respect each other... although there’s still plenty of room for needling. How much of a hilarious mess would that relationship be?

Yeah, there’s a three-year age gap, but look at the respect and admiration he develops for her and tell me he’s not harboring just the teeniest bit of a boyhood crush.

Haru/Eri- Meichi + Kenyako

Sure the main character may have been teased with someone else in the past, but that was then and there’s a new girl in town! Of course they’re going to ease towards a relationship, so best to hop on the bandwagon now!

It’s a great ship since for as much public attention as one of them gets, the other sees through all that and they get along on a far more natural level, always knowing the right way to approach each other.

Eri/Ai- Sorami + Meimi

No matter how different they may be, times like this the girls have to stick together. Seemed that from the moment they were pulled into this, these two were good about making sure the other was all right and occasionally keeping the boys in line.

Yes one of them is more dynamic and loud while the other is more gentle, but that can make a powerful team, since they can show each other the ropes and will surely have lessons for the other.

Yuujin/Eri- Michi + Miyakeru

These two don’t get a ton of attention since your first inclination is to pair them with other people, but when they’re standing next to each other and interacting... boy that’s an attractive couple. Plus their friendly and outgoing personalities make them quite compatible.

It’s one of those ships that never gets talked about, but they have to have a ton of respect for each other and the job they’re doing. Given how pleasant a relationship between them would be, you have to sit back and wonder “why not?”

Yuujin/Rei- Mimato + Kenkeru

Okay, I know what you’re thinking... how can anyone ship them if they never actually talk to each other? But what they’re not showing you is how much mileage we’d get out of there interactions. One’s ready to take charge and care for their closest friends and the other’s quiet and super awkward. Why shouldn’t we want to see them interact more?

Okay, their situations (brother-related tragedies, being manipulated, partners with sad pasts) would make for a pretty depressing relationship. But that’s why they need each other to survive the hardships in life they won’t share with others!

Yuujin/Ai- Joumi + Koura

It tends to get overlooked in favor of ships that are sexier or more crowd-pleasing, but if you think back it’s one of the first ones that actually looked like it could turn romantic. Even now, she still looks up to him and he still looks after her.

Maybe it’s hard to find romantic pretext in their interactions now, but there’s something appealing about that too. They’re very comfortable around each other, and maybe they realize they’re after a relationship without all the awkwardness.
