#you only get to Think about these digimon fighting u didn't think u would get to see them DO things did you???

How would you rank the three main characters from Adventure, 02, and Tamers? I also don’t like Taichi as much as the other two.

Takato is still #1 for me so far because i have like, tamers nostalgia even though i watched it for the first time this year ~u~ i dunno, i think his characterization is probably the weakest of the three main kids in tamers but i still am really drawn to it; it might just be because i find the premise of tamers (where takato is like , a digimon fanboy first and protagonist second) more compelling.but i think he was really fun and suited the story very well. honestly in all the digimon stuff ive watched so far one of my favorite shots throughout all of it is during the megidramon fight where takato flashes back to his bedroom and sees the agumon figurine on his shelf and remembers why he is there in the first place. That shit is soooooooooo primo that i think the other two would have a hard time competing if only just because of that setup and execution alone. that being said daisuke is climbing up to equal footing scarily fast. if his characterization remains consistently this fun for the entire duration of 02 (and i dont trust that it will but it could) i think he will be a strong contender for being my favorite. I just love characters that everyone finds annoying they're so fun to me. and I know that the inevitable character foil shit coming up with him and ken is going to make me like him even more (Because if you havent noticed ive imprinted on ken like a baby goose a little). i think 02 has the most fun character interactions ive seen in the franchise so far and that makes it so much easier to like the cast than it was for either tamers or the original adventure, so i find myself being disproportionately fond of basically all of the new kids as compared to how i felt about the other casts this early on in the other seasons. i just didnt care for taichi though i really didn't. hes squarely in last and i imagine he will stay there. i think that pretty much all of the character stuff in adventure is pretty one note and doesnt get enough room to breathe for it to stick with me much. So like its fine that he has protection complexes and its funny that he beats the shit out of things to sort trhough his emotional problems but none of it landed for me. It was just kind of all like, traits on paper that get expressed once or twice and never really get actually explored. im pretty bored by him. i was surprised by how little he got to interact with agumon on screen and it makes their like Timeless partner bond thing feel pretty hollow. IDK. Not my thing. I have no nostalgia for his existence and he means very little to me.

So definitive ranking 1.takato 2. Daisuke (Close competitor) 3. Taichi (Laggingfar behind.)

thank you for being interested in my silly opining and sorry for writing a whole essay ive been thinking about this a lot because its fun for me to evaluate these shows in relation to eachother : )
