DigiWeek 2022 Day 2: Sports Day (Relationship)

It is common for every shounen anime to put an emphasis on friendship, and Digimon is not exception. Whether it is about the relationship between digimon and their human partners, relationship among digimon, or even relationship among kids. Mostly platonic, but some are romantic. Even the same-sex relationship is important.

For the said relationship, here comes my favorite relationship: Takato and Jian from Digimon Tamers.

For someone wondering why TakaRi if there is common pairing name like Jenkato? As someone who prefers Japanese style in terms of pairing name, this is what the relationship of Takato and Jian is called. Also, it means that Takato is top and Jian is bottom (in Japanese fandom, the pairing name is treated as serious business because it determines the roles of two characters paired in the story).

Okay, trivia aside, I think this relationship is quite unpopular. Compared with when Takato is paired with girls (like Ruki or Juri), his relationship with Jian is somewhat lackluster in fandom. Yet, there are fans of such relationship.

Compared to usual goggle boy and his lonewolf bishounen pairings in Digimon fandom (which mostly have a rocky start and tensions), Takato and Jian are depicted as best friends on the start. Their personalities may be different (Takato’s naivety and Jian’s pacifism yet holding himself back for the sake of being mature), but they are bonded by same interest: Digimon card game. As the story goes on, they are not so different in personalities. Takato becomes accustomed in dealing with rampaging digimon and the consequences aftermath, while Jian must deal with his own emotions while situations go beyond control.

Okay, explanation ends here. Anyway, this relationship needs more love.

hi again, yeah i can imagine them being a very energetic duo, very loud indeed. probably jen would be very patient, although a bit worried haha. i can see something like shiuchon liking someone and jian trying to discover who can be and then its hirokazu. cute tho. p.s: looking at your blog i saw hikari x jen, is so lovely!

lmao yeah i bet he's quite patient although we've seen jenrya being way too protective when it comes to shiuchon. probably after he found out about the hirokazu thing, he'll go ask takato what kind of person hirokazu really is...

ah yes, the jenhika—thank you so much!! i love these two too. i have a plan for them but i'm not sure when i can really execute it 🤔

[Digimon Tamers x DDLC]

So who’s going to ban me from making low-quality cursed fandom content already

Takato = Monika: Digging through old Tamers content, it feels like this fandom is somehow lowkey collectively convinced that Takato is always the most likely to be slightly evil / control digital reality / try to kill everyone. I...I don’t disagree HAHA

Jian = Yuri: I could make up a decently reasonable explanation, but the truth is really just that she was the only one left and their hair colors are the closest;;

Ruki = Natsuki: “Tsundere.” That’s it really

Juri = Sayori: I blame them for giving me this cursed idea. Pretty self-explanatory

Did you originate the biker Ruki headcanon? Any career headcanons for other non-Adventures tamers?

Oh no, that’s totally canon in some way :3cWith the BD box, people who preordered got a new Drama CD titled “Digimon Tamers 2018 days ~information and the unordinary~”, there it was stated that Ruki’s mom tried to get her into modeling when she entered university but that’s not her thing so she went for freestyle motocross instead.

You can read the translation here [X] WARNING: it has angst xD

As for my headcanons… before this Drama CD, I would think of Takato being a Mangaka or actually inheriting his parents’ bakery. (And as Mangaka, he would probably make an adaptation of his adventures as Tamer just like Takeru became a novelist to tell his adventures)

Jian obviously would study something related to the Digital world and become an IT, I pictured Jeri being in the bakery as well or in her dad’s shop.

Ryou would be some kind of famous Olympic athlete, maybe soccer, tae kwon do or swimmer (don’t ask me why); never thought on Kenta or Hirokazu tbh.

For Ruki I never pictured her being more feminine, I imagined her being even more of a tomboy character, never crossed my mind the motocross thing tho but I thought she would be an Olympic athlete too, some alone sport where she can kick people’s butts by herself (probably tae kwon do too or judo XD)

Just a simple and fluffy TakaRi fanart.

[uzunotegaki]

Just as simple TakaRi fluff where Takato glomps Jian.

I draw this as the antidote for us after the whole Konaka and his problematic stance fiasco in the recent DigiFes 2021.

[uzunotegaki]

Awkward embrace.

Yeah, such an awkward embrace between Takato and Jian.

[uzunotegaki]

“Do you really want to do this, Takato?” “M-mmm...”

Takato and Jian, before continuing to the next stage.

[uzunotegaki]

TakaRi (Takato/Jian) + Kabedon.

Interesting combination, seriously.

PS: Jian is the uke/bottom in my mind.
