Sometimes I feel like no one draws Future Mode so tried to fix that :D Used as reference one of the parallel Digica with V.V. and Rina~

Actually made this into a free smartphone wallpaper/lockscreen for you to use only for that, but last time I put links over here, my posts got ghosted and didn't showed up in the tags so check the replies for the link ;3

Read more for a surprise~

Yes, made a "recolor" with Pride flag colors and it's also available as smarphone wallpaper/lockscreen because I genuinely think Zero would be a good boi and protector of the community :D

Sadly, I won't be doing the rest of the flags sorry m(_ _)m

Headcanoning that the clockmaker tried to get the V-Tamer version of Taichi to fill the sixth slot, got as far as summoning Neo and the Alias III... and then Taichi himself was running late, so he had to improvise and brought over the Adventure version instead.

Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01 - Disc 8

Another mysterious appearance by a main character looking dude on the inner flap of this volume. He kinda looks like that Ryo guy from the Adventure 02 Ken flashbacks. Guess I'll find out...

Side note: apparently Arkadimon won 3rd place in the Japanese popularity poll? How!? He's literally the most boring digimon ever!

Ch. 46

-How are we on the final battle already if there's a whole other volume after this one? Either this isn't the final battle and they'll pull some "secret final boss" nonsense (it is the Digimon way) OR vol. 9 will just be like epilogue stuff. I'd prefer the latter

-In the scanlation I'm reading Taichi says "attacks won't work on Arkadimon, let's try direct attacks!" I kinda got what they were going for, but it's a bad translation, so I looked at the original Japanese. They use 必殺技 (hissatsuwaza) and 直接 (chokusetsu). So, special attacks don't work, but direct attacks do. Kinda like when you can't use magic on some enemies in games.

Ch. 47

-You see, ripping up Zero's wings and stabbing him through the chest has kind of lost all impact at this point. Not only is this a kid's manga so I know he'll be okay, but also we've already seen him recover from those specific injuries before.

-Gabo and Rei are cute together, I could see them as protagonist/partner in an alternate version of this story.

Ch. 48

-Wow, they're really going hard with this "rock bottom" moment. I know things will turn out okay, but if I was a dumb 8 year old who's never read anything like this before, I might be kinda shook

-Neo continues to be a flat character. You would think adding his sister to the story as a good guy would cause him to have some kind of inner conflict, but he's just evil for the sake of evil and his sister being around has had zero impact. Boooo

Ch. 49

-Not much happened in this chapter, they just explained how the Dot Matrix attack works and prepared to fight Neo's army. Zero is in the ICU and Taichi's basically catatonic. I feel like the level of despair being conveyed by Taichi is a little more than we ever saw in the anime. Manga always tends to be an edgier medium.

Ch. 50

-This whole time I've been calling him "Leomon," but he was actually Panyamon (the white reskin). Also, Dominimon is new...not as badass looking as Seraphimon

-The "all digimon give Zero strength" scene was a good opportunity to bring back some one-off background characters. Cute to see that some of them have digivolved too.

Ch. 51

-Okay, I'm not crazy for thinking it was Leomon because they literally call him "Leo" lol

-Kinda don't like how Zero and Taichi are the "chosen ones" and no one else can even scratch Arkadimon. It would be more interesting if they worked as real team where everyone balances each other out. I guess why they don't do solo MCs in the anime...

Omake - Hot Blooded!

-So I was right, we get a crossover with Ryo due to a Wonderswan promotion. It's nice to see a different MC design for once! He kind of reminds me of Lloyd Irving

-This was shorter and had a sillier tone than the other crossovers. It was kind of stupid that they defeated Demon's henchman via "hot bloodedness," but it was funny how equally matched Taichi and Ryo were in personality.

-I wish we could have seen more of -checks wiki- Monodramon. I really like his design. Very Spyro the Dragon.

I can't believe there's only one more volume left! I feel like I zoomed through this. As far as I can tell, Digimon really isn't known for its manga, so it's been interesting to see some of the neglected bits of the franchise. It's definitely a kids and super fans only kinda situation because neither the plot or characters are that deep or unique. I guess that makes a nice brain-off read though.

Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01 - Resumo simplificado

Em Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01, mangá escrito por Hiroshi Izawa e ilustrado por Tenya Yabuno, Taichi Yagami é um jovem garoto que desejava participar do torneio de V-Pets, mas foi desclassificado por que o Digimon dele não era reconhecido pelo sistema do game. Depois de desafiar o vencedor do torneio e empatar a partida, Taichi é transportado para o DigiMundo, onde ele conhece o parceiro dele, Zeromaru. Diferente do anime de 1999, V-Tamer 01 tem cenas fortes que podem ser consideradas como inapropriadas ou sensíveis para certos públicos. Quando Digimon Adventure foi adaptado para uma versão Anime, essas cenas pesadas tiveram de ser removidas para que a faixa indicativa fosse menor. Vale lembrar, que no 48º episodio de Digimon, Mugendramon é visto destruindo prédios, o que faz alusão aos atentados do 11 de setembro, e a ABC television fez cortes para evitar que esse episódio fosse associado ao triste episódio da vida real, que resultou em casualidades. No Brasil, porém, esse episódio foi transmitido normalmente...

Regulumon from Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01

This tells me more about Daisuke as a character than anything else I’ve ever read. :)

Daisuke’s characterization in V-Tamer is actually out of character

This is a post rather different from the usual content I do for this blog, and to be honest, I’m a bit hesitant about it, since it’s hard not to make it sound like some kind of scathingly critical negativity about the relevant chapter. It’s not intended that way – V-Tamer’s crossover chapter with 02 lies firmly in “Bandai-commissioned spinoff” territory with what was most likely very little input from the anime staff, and with these kinds of things, right hand very rarely talks to left hand, and you see it in things like Tag Tamers having major contradictions with the anime despite how ostensibly important it is to 02′s story. Izawa and Yabuno were busy with V-Tamer production, and it’s very likely Toei and Bandai only provided them with very scant details of 02′s base premise (especially since the chapter itself doesn’t refer to any major 02 plot details besides XV-mon’s and Magnamon’s existence). I really do not blame them for not necessarily having thorough awareness of Daisuke and his character arc (especially since he himself is a rather deceptive character), and having to make a lot of assumptions while writing.

In the end, I decided to write this due to personal request from an acquaintance, who pointed out that there are a lot of people out there who like to claim things like “Daisuke got more character development in this single chapter than he did in 02 itself” (which is another manifestation of the constantly repeated fanbase mantra that Daisuke was lacking in that department when he really wasn’t). The thing is, this chapter’s interpretation of Daisuke is so far removed from the character he was even at the start of 02 that this “development” only works by artificially engineering a conflict that shouldn’t have even happened with Daisuke in the first place.

Again: This is not something meant to criticize this chapter as something bad (personally, I do think it’s rather entertaining in its own way) as much as, simply, out of character is still out of character, and I’m mainly just writing this in the hopes of making a case that this version of Daisuke should not be reflected back on the original series.
