Hikari FDM Foreshadowing

So looking back we really should have figured that they were going to do something dark with Hikari.

In the PV we see shots of all the chosen children, but the three that stand out to me are Yamato, Takeru and Hikari. 

With Yamato we have a shot of him frowning and looking down, also, you can’t tell cause it’s a photo, but his lip is quivering.

But then he looks up and smiles and I think these two shots represent his ongoing struggles with Taichi. I can think of multiple shots throughout Tri so far where Yamato is frowning while looking at Taichi, but then Taichi smiles and he smiles as well. 

Then we have Takeru. His shots are parallels to Yamato’s. The first parallel being that Yamato is framed against the sky while Takeru is framed against the water.

At first he’s looking upwards

But then he frowns and looks downwards and I think this is supposed to represent him loosing his hope as he does in kokuhaku.

And then we come to Hikari

Look how ominous this shot is!! A good chunk of her is in the shadows, and she looks like she is turned away from the sunlight. Plus, she has this creepy grin on her face, a grin that is almost identical to Maki’s grins in ketsui and kokuhaku. 

Since the only other character we’ve seen smile like that is Maki, and we have learned that Maki was manipulated to do evil due to her grief, I’d like to theorize that Hikari will produce FDM for similar reasons.

Why does no one talk about the fact that Taichi sacrificed his life to save Yamato (and Meiko)? When the ground starts to break open he runs to him shouting Yamato’s name and pushes him away from the crack. Afterwards he tells Omegamon quite clearly to concentrate on saving Yama (and Meiko), even though he knows that’d leave himself unprotected. Is my TaiYama heart the only one that noticed?

[momantaichi-blog]

Is that Hikari’s crest of light?

I need some explanations NOW.

[whatplanetdididial]

These two are so pure and beautiful and I thank Kyosei every day for confirming my headcanon that distance will never break up these besties for life!!!

(bonus Piyomon and Palmon!)

[the-black-rose-wiitch]

In your opinion, what is the best OVA of Digimon Tri ? ... Make a list from your favorite to the one you least liked.

That’s going to be a little delicate to say, but let’s get started!

For me my favorite digimon tri OVAS are Saikai, Kokuhaku and Kyosei!

There’s no order between these three, they’re all in the first place for me! 

I like the feelings and all that nostalgia that all these movies have brought tome, besides that all the tension they’ve had, especialy Kyosei with the fight and final scene.

I will put Ketsui in second place, because there are so many comedy scenes and not having as much tension as the others, probably because after this film the things would get worse.

Now what I least like is the “Soushitsu” I don’t know about you, but I think he has had many errors in the storyline, and i think there will be fans who will not like my opinion when they read this.

I also found some very forced things, like the anger of Biyomon, the attitudes of Sora, especially with Taichi and Yamato, even though they acted like idiots, they were trying to know what was going on and she didn’t say anything, At the same time She wanted them to understand her feelings.

Sorry to all the fans of Sora, but she struck me as selfish and immature! To me She wanted all the attention for herself and didn’t care was happening around her, even understanding your suffering, i know she’s not like that, she’s stronger and braved than the other girls.

And last how was the patamo’s mega evolution, they did without any explanation, or developed something profound to make the Patamon evolve, the only reason was that everyone was fighting against Mugendramon

but there’s things that i Liked in this OVA like the first scene  between Himekawa and nishijima in the Digital world when they’re kids, biyomon’s mega evolution and the final scene, that part made me freak out!

Thanks for sending me a ask and I hope you enjoyed my answer and that everything is just my opinion!

Bye Bye!

Hey guys

I just re-watched ”Kyosei” (Coexistence) and the very last part stuck with me, where Yamato is picking up Taichi’s googles and says: 

“Everyone, stand up. What is sitting going to do? What is yelling going to do? We can’t save anything, then let’s stand up. Don’t stop! We can cry later. Let’s go.”

That moment reminded me of the song: “Not Today” by BTS. When I first heard the song, my mind went straight to the last part of the movie. Yamato would do anything to save his best friend, hence the part where he says sacrificing isn’t the key, but they would rather die together than surrender themselves.

I found the parts where it kind of similar to what Yamato says in Digimon Tri:

If you can’t fly, then run

Today we will survive

If you can’t run, then walk

Today we will survive

If you can’t walk, then crawl

Even if you have to crawl, gear up

Aim your gun! Ready! Fire!

...

Don’t ask, 

Scream, Not today

Don’t kneel, don’t cry

Raise your hands, Not today

Don’t tell me this isn’t a perfect fit for the scenario. If you have not listened to BTS already, then go listen to it. Trust me, you will not regret it.

That sexy Angewomon pose protecting Hikari….

And the last one is my fav yagami sibling moment…

[50cyg]

Is it just me, or was there more going on in the Digimon community leading up to Loss/ Soshitsu than there is right now leading up to symbiosis/ kyosei? Maybe it’s cause we are still so far away from a release date

[kimariis]

I loathe Meiko, I just.. absolutely, completely loathe her existence. Spoilers under the cut

So... Hikari got exactly... zero development and one entire scene in her own movie (which was her getting possessed and then crying “oniichan, oniichan”... that’s ALL), because everyone was too busy falling over themselves literally clinging onto Meiko, comforting Meiko, talking to Meiko, talking about Meiko to each other, worrying about Meiko, telling Meiko how much they care about her, cheering Meiko up, saving Meiko, running after Meiko, etc, the list seriously goes on, holy f*ck I wish I were kidding, but that’s literally what most of the movie is about. 

And it gets worse... not just do we have a ton of Taichi x Meiko scenes, which, on their own, would be fine. But we also have Yamato who is more interested in Meiko and how she’s doing and protecting her than thinking about his own bloody girlfriend? He literally doesn’t even go near Sora, but he’s.. super interested in Meiko? Heck, he’s the first to run after her. 

Heck, this whole movie literally revolves entirely about all of the original children and their partners continuously thinking and worrying about nothing else than Meiko and Meicoomon. They’re all just unimportant background characters in the Meiko Show. 

It’s  d i s g u s t i n g.

Meiko is on the level of a cheap, ineptly written self-insert, except unfortunately for everyone, this hoe is canon. 

There are good things in this movie, like the ghost stories and the little scraps that don’t entirely revolve around Meiko and her feelings, for example. Yamato being scared of ghost stories was adorable. The Digimon were adorable, especially Agumon. Heck, the few seconds of screen time Hikari got were good, except for the last one which was a little cringey maybe. Overall I still enjoyed it... especially the last episode is really good. But overall, the first three have wayyyyyy much Meiko. Fuck her tbh. Fuck Meiko. 

I didn’t properly hate her until this movie, even after the spoilers and the first five minutes I just..started to dislike her a little... but ughh, after seeing it, I can’t help it, I loathe this character.

Am I the only one who waited way too long for this?

tri. Chapter 5 - Recap, Analysis, Review [part one]

This is me trying to make sense of of a dense, multilayered chapter that for once brough us more answers than questions. My notes got very long and I ended up taking dozens of screen-caps, so I decided to split this post into four segments (one for each part of the movie). You can expect the others soon, over the next few days.

I hope you survive this!

Chapter 5 (Kyousei - Coexistence or Symbiosis, depending on who you ask) starts where we were left off last time: Mystery Man torturing Meiko in order to make Meicoomon snap, and telling her she should not have been born.

At once, we get another flashback from Meiko's childhood - this time, with a very specific date: Autumn 1999 -- that is, shortly after the events of Digimon Adventure. This has ties with a previous flashback (set in the summer) of Meiko finding Meicoomon in the woods. While the exact time when Meicoomon met Meiko in the human world is still unclear, everything in this chapter points to this meeting happening shortly after August 1-3, that is, after the defeat of Apocalymon.

This flashback shows us two incidents of Meicoomon's past. In the first one, she attacks a group of birds, resulting in loose feathers and a pool of blood, and she soils Meiko's shirt with it. Symbolism aside, it’s unclear what caused the blood: was she hunting or defending herself? Did she “snap” because she was scared, after finding herself away from Meiko? Anyway, this was the first time Meicoomon shown she was capable of being violent.

The second incident is much more serious.

Meiko's father is taking  Meicoomon to the lab to be examined by some Tokyo people. This happens in 1999, when human authorities were trying to make sense of what had happened with the Digimon that summer. Significantly, this seems to suggest that Meiko's father isn't exactly keeping Meicoomon's existence a secret from the authorities; nor does it seem that he’s using his daughter’s Digimon to conduct scientific experiences or anything suspicious.

However, Meicoomon snaps and destroys the lab, injuring Meiko’s father in the process.

We also learn that Himekawa was one of the people who came from Tokyo to see Meicoomon, and her connection to this digimon starts here. This gives us some clues about Maki's age; if in 1999 she was already done with her studies and working for the Agency, so she was at least in her early 20s then. You can do the math yourself, but basically Maki is at least 27 in tri., perhaps older.

Meiko witnesses the incident, in shock. But as soon as shes there, Meicoomon goes back to normal; she’s confused at first, but quickly becomes happy to see Meiko, as if nothing had happened. Maki watches everything with interest. Is this the moment when she realises Meicoomon could play a role in her plans for the Reboot?

Back in the present time, Mystery Man’s plan worked. Meicoomon has gone berserk and is wreaking havoc. The flashback serves to contextualise and explain what’s happening: It seems that what triggers Meicoomon’s transformation is being scared and/or being separated from Meiko -- in other words, Meiko's presence keeps Meicoomon calm and controlled... until now. All this will be explained later in the movie.

Anyway, it’s clear that the distortions Meicoomon is causing are making Mystery Man extremely happy. Digimon start invading the real world, a repetition of both Vamdemon’s invasion and Demon’s invasion.

Meiko calls the transtorned Meicoomon and there’s a tense moment when it seems that she can get Meicoomon to break away from her trance, just like before. Instead, it utterly fails: Meicoomon is confused, screams and agony and finally attacks Meiko. 

Meiko is paralysed and apparently has given up, as she realises that she can no longer reach Meicoomon when she’s in her evil form. As she’s about to get murdered by her own partner, Meiko remembers happy moments they spent together… but fortunately Taichi plays the gallant hero and saves her at the last moment. 

There’s another tense exchange of looks, but it appears that Meicoomon changes her mind about killing her and runs off.

The conclusion from this scene is simple: Meicoomon has snapped so deeply that Meiko can no longer reach her and bring her back to normal; yet, it seems that there’s still something inside her that keeps her from killing Meiko.

Does she? This is the first indication that Meiko’s will to live is perhaps being challenged in Kyousei.  

Takeru recalls Mystery Man’s words about Meicoomon is “the key to destroying” the world - which seems fitting as they’re seeing the Digital World go crazy under her powers. Meanwhile, Meiko is closer to accepting the truth that Meicoomon may be beyond saving at this point.

* 

Speaking of trauma, we find out what’s going on with Maki. After her reunion with Bakumon went wrong, she wanders around with a gun as she watches the destruction and fantasises that this time she will be chosen. 

What does this mean? Now that the Reboot (the plan she spent years working on) has failed, has Maki lost her sanity? Or is she revealing her new plan, a fantasy that a new crisis will give her and Bakumon a second chance to be “chosen”? 

Either way, it doesn’t seem that Maki is acting out of evil intentions or a desire to cause destruction. Raving, she wanders after her partner....

*

Back in the human world, Digimon are causing major problems. Taichi and Hikari’s mother is watching the news on TV and worrying about her kids. She decides to prepare a huge meal for them, her own little contribution to the cause. It seems that tri. Has picked Yuuko as the representative of the children’s families, and her perspective is an important one - especially in a Chapter that focuses so much on the Yagami siblings.

*

With Himekawa missing, nobody is listening to Daigo, who’s worried about the kids being stranded in the Digital World. He decides to take matters into his own hands and meets with Professor Mochizuki, who apparently is no longer invited to speak at the table during important meetings where decisions are being made. You have to wonder if Homeostasis is also behind this - don’t forget Meiko’s father has an emotional investment in this, meaning he’s probably biased towards Meicoomon (if anything, for his daughter’s sake).

Hackmon joins the conversation and finally drops some important answers. 

Homeostasis only agenda is to protect stability. Libra (Meicoomon) is no longer fulfilling her role in that balance and has become to unstable. This was why she was banished (was this why she ended up on the Real World, perhaps after Apocalymon’s demise?).

Finally, with Meiko no longer acting as a balancing force to Meicoomon’s incredible destructive power, the latter is a loose canon and it must be destroyed.

This seems a pretty heartless decision from Homeostasis, but at least it’s consistent with their role in this universe. If you see things from the perspective of “keeping the balance at all costs” this is a reasonable conclusion. Sentiment has no place in Homeostasis’ job.

*

Meanwhile, the Digital World is trying to kill the Chosen Children (and failing miserably at it; but then, after Sora’s improbable survival last Chapter, maybe they’ve all developed inhuman invulnerability). They seek refuge in a cave and try to make sense of what’s happening.

Hikari is the most intuitive member of the team and the one who has a deeper connection with the Digital World, so it’s fitting that she is the first one to sense this and to convey it to the others. Again, this is a side of Hikari’s personality that plays a big role in this movie.

*

Back in the office, Homeostasis has spoken its sentence. Without Meiko’s protection, there’s no hope for Meicoomon.

*

Then we get the scene by the fire, where we get some very subtle, and some very interesting character moments. Everyone’s core personality gets to shine through. For instance, there’s the funny contrast between Mimi’s childlike comment that they could be seeing shooting stars, and Jou’s deadpan pragmatism:

(You can go really meta and pretend this is a reference to “I wish!) 

Yamato has made his decision and is as determined as possible. Remember that he means just that - “stopping”. After all, they all realise that Meicoomon is the source of this mess and she’s causing all these troubles in the real world. But no one is considering destruction at this point. Taichi is asking Koushirou to find a way to get them home, and he’s trying.

The scene then focuses on Meiko, who’s blaming herself because this time she couldn’t stop Meicoomon. The group tries to cheer her up.

There’s a very nice sentiment there. But, remember, at this point the kids aren’t seeing the bigger picture and they still don’t know what we know. They have no idea that this trouble with Meicoomon can’t be solved with good ol’ fashioned friendship, “believing” in each other, or “accepting each other’s faults”.

Still, this scene beautifully explains the wonderful relationship between the partners, from Meiko’s point of view - specificially how they balance each other perfectly and how each duo has its own dynamic. She’s been paying attention to this. Comparing.

But Meiko is reasonably questioning their assumptions. If Meicoomon is so different, how can their relationship compare? Moreover, the partner bonds seem to have been broken beyond repair. Sora reminds Meiko that she’s stopped running and has accepted responsibility for being Meicoomon’s partner.

But now Meiko’s starting to wonder if the fault is actually on her side - she has interpreted these last events as Meicoomon snapping because of her. She’s feeling powerless, thinking that if she was a different type of partner - a different person - this wouldn’t be happening.

This sentence sums a big theme through out this episode (and throughout this series), as multiple characters come back to this difficult question, again and again.

Consider Meiko’s position at this moment: She knows something is wrong with Meicoomon (she’s always had a “problem”) but now she can no longer do anything to make her stop.  Meiko did everything right: She faced the truth, she believed in her partner, she came back for her -- and Meicoomon just tried to murder her. What if she's the problem? What if a more capable partner could have stopped this?

The main point here is this: Meiko’s right to have doubts and to be scared. This isn’t a repetition of her conflict in the previous chapters, because there has been a definit breaking point in her bond with Meicoomon. Meiko isn’t being cowardly or weak, she’s being reasonable before the facts.

Thinking of the guys’ face when they see Tai again gives me life

I just hope Toei gives this scene the feels and tears it deserves. No joke.

I want

my tears.
