Digimon Adventure 02 ~ Japanese Version ~ Episode 40 + 2001 Chosen (+Timeline Notes) / Lore + Daisuke Motomiya + U.S. Chosen Child Michael (& Mimi Tachikawa)

"By the way, what are the other American Chosen like? Are they Chosen from 2001, like you?" - Daisuke

"Some are from 2001, and some aren't. I've met some but not others." - Michael, pleasantly

"I see... I want to meet them soon!" - Daisuke, happily "Yeah!" - Vmon, agreeing cheerfully

"{You'll meet them in a bit.}" - Mimi, cheerily

{Note: In this scene, as it was from the "02" series made in and released around 2000~2001, Daisuke is specifically referring to the team of Chosen Children consisting of characters: Sam {"Phil" in U.S. dub to prevent confusion with "Sam Ichijouji" who was originally named "Osamu";} & Flare Lizamon, Maria and Centalmon, Lou and Tortamon, Steve and Yukidarumon {Frigimon in U.S. Dub}, and Tatum and Airdramon, that appeared within this episode.}

I can't believe that Michael is not blonde anymore. And I know it's him because of Seadramon, and all of those kids here were in 02 worldwide arc NYC part too so it would've been weird if hey just dumped a brand new character here.

Michael's partner Betamon evolves to Seadramon in 02, on-screen, two times (yes, in the NYC part of the three-part mini-arc too) so I know this kid is him.

Also the girl next to him is Maria, her partner, Centalmon, is behind FlareLizardmon (Sam's partner) right there. But idk if her skin is light now or not -- the episode in 02 was at night and her skin wasn't that tanned like Lou's and Daisuke's imo?

Heck, they even slapped Tatum (is that her name, can't remember well?) with Airdramon here...!!

i'm sad Tortomon is not here, but it would be hard to place it there too...

Digimon Adventure 02 (Blind Watch) - Episode 40

Damn! This was a lot to take in. I really enjoyed it despite the information overload. Loved seeing the international digi-destined/chosen children. Yeah, they were very stereotypical, but nothing really offensive, I thought they were pretty wholesome and cute. This episode was mainly focused on New York and Hong Kong with some other areas of the world thrown in in the background (and space lol, that's was a nice touch). Totally down for this 3-parter (got a little spoiled by the DVD menu).

Digimon introduced: Syakomon, Flareizamon, Gorillamon, Octomon, Apemon

Notes:

-So...some questions. Imperialdramon can breath in space apparently (or maybe he's flying so fast he doesn't need to breathe?) Also, the main kids' digimon made it clear that they only speak Japanese. So like...are digimon programmed to speak the language of their partner? Is it regional? Maybe it's like how if I buy an Alexa in Japan it'll come out of the box speaking Japanese. I wonder if digimon are capable of learning other languages...or if Koushiro could tweak their programming.

-So Michael's a digi-destined AND his dad's a movie star? How main character can one kid be!?

-Okay so new squad members:

New York digi-destined: Tatum (Airdramon), Maria (Centarumon), Lou (Tortomon), Steve (Frigimon), Sam/Phil (Flareizamon)

Hong Kong digi-destined: The Poi Brothers (Syakomon), Yue Hong (Apemon), Dien (Gorillamon)

India digi-destined: Mina

They're all so cute! The American team kinda gave me Captain Planet vibes with the diversity. As a Latina, I was excited to see Maria <3 Also, it's a cool idea to have triplet kids with matching digimon (the Poi brothers).

-Omg Syakomon's design is adorable! They look like a Polly Pocket :D

-It was cool to see different digimon partners, most of them being digimon the main kids have fought before. I kind of wish we got to see more of them in their rookie forms like we did for Syakomon.

-Why does Palmon get to evolve to Lilymon but Michael's Betamon only goes to champion level? With Benjamin there I would think everyone would power up, but I guess that's too much effort for the animators lol. (Either that or Betamon hasn't achieved a higher digivolution yet...)

-Loving the chilly winter vibes on this chilly winter day. Seeing anime characters bundled up makes me feel better about the cold.

-What is this Creation of Adam pose? Lol suddenly Hikari's in a renaissance painting with Angewomon. (No wonder the Poi brothers fell for her)

-Yue kinda seems like a badass, wish we could have seen more of her.

-Mysterious ending with Mummymon creepin' on a little boy. Nice eerie setup to entice me to watch on. It's funny how drastically everything's improved now that we've dropped the previous arc.

[digitalgate02]

So far Lizmet (@/elecmon) and I just tried to guess some and:

The orange-brownish-red eyes at the corner might be a Caprimon. (using the Toei version of it so you can notice it could be a Caprimon) Caprimon can be part of a Centalmon line if i remember correctly? So I suspect this might be Maria's partner.

The round green ones might be a Pyocomon.

Pyocomon is very known for being the baby form for Sora's Piyomon.

BUT, It could work for Tatum's Airdramon too imo.

There's no round blue eyes baby digi so far (the ones between supposed PetitMeramon and supposed Pyocomon), so I believe it's a YukiAgumon/SnowAgumon. And it might be Steve's partner because...

Of this pic from Digimon Fortune.

EDIT: PUKAMON HAS ROUND BLUE EYES AND MATCHES WITH THE MYSTERIOUS ONES IN THE BUSH. But still fair game for YukiAgumon → Yukidarumon so yeah. Nothing changes here.

Which leaves us with... what mon those other blue eyes belong to for Lou's Tortomon partner. 🤨🤔

THEY (Maria's, Lou's, Steve's, Sam's and Tatum's digimon) ALL HAVE CHILD/BABY FORMS!!? And I'm just realizing it now?!

Who would like to join me and check all the [check's the number of existent digimon so far] 1,500 digimon and see which of those eyes fit them?

(Pretty sure Sam's partner's baby II form is PetitMeramon)

Digimon Adventure 02 (Japanese Version) ~ World Tour Arc + (International) / U.S. {American} Chosen Children

+ Assisted by Daisuke Motomiya [+Mimi Tachikawa] (Japanese Chosen) & “Benjamin” (New York’s Younger!Gennai Clone)

Caps by @izzyizumi / @koushirouizumi​ {Do Not Remove Caption} (Please Ask to Use)

Image usage rules + original commentary under the ‘read more’!

Sam and FlareLizamon - Black {“Phil” in U.S. English dub, as they had to differentiate from “Sam Ichijouji”, known as “Osamu” in the J.P.N} Steve and Yukidarumon - American Jew Lou & Tortomon - Indigenous Maria & Centalmon - Hispanic-American Tatum & Airdramon - Irish-American (+Wallace & Betamon / Seadramon) + Mimi Tachikawa (when Mimi is in New York)

My Commentary: Steve was confirmed by Toei to be a Jew in the “Digimon Memorial Book”, published after 02 had ended. However, It is important to remember that Steve would likely not be celebrating “only” Inter-faith X-mas here (if Steve did join in), but ALSO Hanukkah / Chanukah earlier in the month and previous month. Chanukah in 2002, however, was November 29th ~ December 7th, and these scenes took place closer to December 25th. But that doesn’t mean Steve wouldn’t have noted Chanukah at all earlier that year, and it’s good to note that when we’re discussing 02′s “real-world based” “timeline”!

Tatum was also confirmed to be Irish-American in the Memorial Book. She is partnered to an Airdramon.
