#YAY FOR TAKARI
Text
takari week, day three
this doesn’t quite fit the theme of today, my apologies!
cold shoulder
characters: takeru x hikari
summary: "Yamato says that everyone has their first kiss before high school."
"I don't think it's really that big of a deal."
// or the one where takeru complains about never being kissed and hikari sets out to fix that
also on AO3 and FFN
“Yamato says that everyone has their first kiss before high school.”
Leaning against the railing outside of Odaiba Middle School, Takaishi Takeru ruffled his blond fringe. Despite the chilly breeze of March, his smile remained effortlessly warm and bright.
Yagami Hikari wished she could appear as comfortable in the bone-chilling cold as Takeru seemed to be.
“I don’t think it’s really that big of a deal.”
Hikari bent down to unchain her bicycle, pausing briefly to breathe warmth into her numb fingers. She had woken up late that morning, her gloves forgotten beside the front door.
Beside her, Takeru scoffed. “That’s easy for you to say. You’ve had boys falling at your feet since we were, like, ten.”
With her back turned to him, Hikari allowed herself to roll her eyes. Takeru had always been a bit of a drama queen, but as high school entrance exams drew near, his attitude had taken a turn for the worse.
Without a word, the wheels of the bicycle ticked forwards, her stride short to give Takeru time to catch up.
A breeze whistled through the mostly barren trees, a trail of goosebumps decorating her thighs. Hikari shivered slightly, absent-mindedly wishing the hem of her uniform skirt was longer.
“Ah, I see. You’re giving me the cold shoulder.” Takeru bumped his shoulder against hers, a smirk stretched across his lips. “Your cheeks are also pink. Tell me: Is the mysterious and aloof Yagami Hikari embarrassed?”
“Embarrassed?” The ticking of the bicycle stopped, Hikari facing Takeru head-on. “What do I have to be embarrassed about?”
His cerulean eyes bore into hers, unflinching. “Boys.”
Hikari could feel her eyebrows scrunch together, the back of her hand pressing against her cheek. Like the weather around her, Hikari’s skin was cold.
“Boys? Are you talking about Daisuke, or something? I can’t really think of anyone else that has thrown themselves at my feet besides him.”
Another gust of wind coaxed them further down the street, the warmth of their apartments like a beacon in the storm.
They walked alongside each other in silence for a moment. Remnants of the last snowfall adorned the street corners in piles of graying mush.
“Well?” Takeru broke the silence. The tip of his nose was bright pink, hands shoved deep in the pockets of his trousers. Hikari still marveled at how her neck had to crane upwards to meet his gaze, his height surpassing hers long ago.
“Well, what?”
“How was it?” Takeru kept his focus on the path in front of him. Confusion bubbled in Hikari’s stomach, a strange curiosity pulling at the edge of her lips.
“Takeru, it’s too cold to play twenty questions. If you have something to ask, come out with it.”
She tore her focus from him. Even through her two pairs of socks, her toes had frozen, the journey home more arduous now that Takeru was being obnoxious.
Running his fingers through his hair, a puff of air ghosted in the afternoon sun. As he stalled, Hikari allowed herself to glance over his features. The best time to watch Takeru, she had decided, was when he was distracted.
His cheerful mask had slipped around the edges, the corners of his mouth downturned.
Dark circles crowded underneath his usually bright eyes, an uncharacteristic anxiety gnawing at his bottom lip. ‘Whatever Yamato had said must have really messed with him,’ Hikari thought.
Looking away, she gave him a moment of privacy to gather his thoughts.
“How was kissing Daisuke?”
“Daisuke?” The bicycle screeched to a halt. Hikari couldn’t - wouldn’t - process Takeru’s implication, shock leaving her mouth open. “Where on Earth would you get the idea that I’ve kissed Daisuke of all people?”
Takeru merely shrugged as if he hadn’t suggested that Hikari spent her spare time shoving her tongue down Daisuke’s throat. “It just made sense, you know? He obviously has the hots for you, and he told me and Ken you both would be official by April. I guess my next question is why haven’t you kissed him?”
Hikari could feel the warm flush of indignation crawl up her neck, effectively shielding her from the cold. “You’re my best friend. If I was dating anyone, Daisuke or otherwise, don’t you think I would have told you?” She paused, knuckles turning white around the handlebars of her bicycle. As she opened her mouth to continue, the wave of Takeru’s hand cut her off.
“I didn’t mean to upset you. It’s just…” His voice pittered out. “I’m nervous. What if I get into high school, ready to finally kiss someone, and I’m horrible at it? Like, where do your teeth even go?” With a frustrated sigh, the pair resumed walking, albeit at a slower pace than before.
A small giggle slipped past Hikari, the tension in her shoulders slowly melted. “Your teeth? How am I supposed to know?” Takeru glanced at her through his peripherals, but Hikari pretended not to notice.
He awkwardly cleared his throat, his hand poorly hiding his smirk. “I know you haven’t kissed Daisuke, but surely you’ve kissed somebody.”
Warmth seeped into her cheeks, Takeru’s observant eyes searching her face. Hikari averted her gaze, pushing forward. If she squinted, the corner of her apartment building would be barely visible through the weaving streets.
Peeking up at him from the corner of her eye, Hikari balked as a look of realization settled on Takeru’s features.
“You’ve never kissed anyone.”
The statement, simple and true, hung between them. Takeru’s energy had somehow been restored, a mischievous grin simultaneously infuriating and flustering her.
“So?” Hikari managed, doing her best to sound indifferent. Her cheeks were aflame with embarrassment. The brunette uselessly hoped that Takeru wouldn’t notice.
A single syllable laugh jolted Hikari from her momentary reprieve.
“I don’t know what your brother said to get you all like,” she gestured vaguely with a free hand, “this, but I’m positive that kissing someone isn’t the end-all, be-all of high school. I’m sure that everyone else is too busy studying or juggling after school clubs to care about who's kissed who.”
“That’s what someone who’s never been kissed would say.” Takeru coughed into his fist, his chuckles reverberating in his chest.
She swatted his arm with her free hand, fighting back a grin. “You,” she smacked him, “are one to talk. Now, I want you to tell me something: Why hasn’t the basketball captain and self-proclaimed heartthrob of Odaiba Middle School gotten a kiss from one of his admirers? My theory is stage fright, or a gnarly snaggle tooth.”
Takeru’s smile faded in the weak ray of sunshine that peeked through the clouds. Hikari could see him retreat back into himself, his cerulean eyes void of their usual glimmer.
Regret cinched around her heart for the briefest moment, her gait faltering. Their corner approached much too quickly, their time together growing short.
Words filled her mouth to the brim, balancing on the tip of her tongue. She had to make this right before they went their separate ways. “Takeru, wait, I-”
“No, it’s okay.” He waved her off, lips pulled upwards in an ingenious way, “You’re right.”
As he turned to go down his street, his sneaker collided with the wheel of Hikari’s bicycle tire. His hair fluttered in the chilly breeze as he shot her a look over his shoulder, eyebrows gathered in confusion.
“Wait,” she breathed, a half-baked idea at the forefront of her mind.
Takeru paused and turned around. His mouth formed a straight line, blond fringe obscuring his features.
“Why don’t we…try it?” Hikari could feel her heart pounding in her chest, The words seem to thicken the air around them, the chilly weather long forgotten. Takeru’s head snapped to attention, his eyes searching hers.
“What?” His voice was no louder than a whisper, his uniform jacket waving in the wind.
Hikari swallowed the doubt that had risen to her chest. Taking a page from her brother’s book, she charged forward. “Well, now I’m scared. I don’t want to go to high school without having kissed anyone either. As Koushrio would say, we have to think logically about this. Why don’t…” With his gaze on her, Hikari could feel her palms grow sweaty, a fluttering of something mixing with the anxiety in her stomach. Her tongue felt too thick in her mouth to speak.
Takeru took a tentative step forward, pulling his hands from the pockets of his slacks. “Hikari?”
Together they teetered on the precipice, neither willing to disturb the delicate tension that encased them. Hikari’s fingers trembled around the handlebars of her bicycle.
“Could we?” she whispered.
Takeru stepped even closer, the tips of his shoes grazing her own. From this distance, the light smell of his cologne engulfed her, easing the tension in her shoulder.
She had to look upwards to meet his eyes.
“Could we what?”
In the midst of her inner turmoil, Hikari almost rejoiced at the shimmer of mirth in his eyes; she almost found joy in the way the corners of his mouth twitched as he teased her.
“Actually,” Hikari straightened herself, gracefully hopping onto the seat of the bicycle, “I’ve got to run. Mom needs my help cooking dinner tonight.”

Digimon Adventure: 2020 – Episode 64: The Angels’ Determination (Review)
Thoughts on the sixty-fourth episode of the Digimon Adventure reboot series.
I think this was a decent opener to the climax?
The episode opens up with Algomon instead of a recap - this is how you know shit is getting serious! :D
Welcome back, Devimon! Even if only in Takeru’s dream. He had so much potential . . . and I actually kinda still dig him as a villain, lol.
omg seeing Hikari ride some childish tram thing was both adorable and funny, lol . . . because she’s usually so creepy. :P
Tailmon being an info dump again. This series needed someone like Gennai to do this - instead of relying on convenient past lives’ knowledge.
Wisemon: “I see. Its effects on Machine Digimon are strong! This brings joy to my knowledge.” LOL. I wish he was in this series more - he could’ve been Gennai’s replacement!
And, of course, the kids reuniting just . . . happens. Just a convenience. No one acts like they haven’t seen each other in a while, lol. Takaishida bros are just chillin’. But it’s super nice to hear all the kids’ voices again . . . especially Yamato. Get your one line, bae. ;_;
OK . . . Deathmon looks funny, ngl. XD; He is known as the King of Darkness? HE HAS ONE EYE! . . . It’s just funny to see this one eye emote. XD;
It was nice seeing all the Digimon we met along the way in this series. Refreshed my memory a bit too, lol. A few of them had good episodes as well . . . which honestly should’ve been given to the actual cast of kids, lol. Some of these Digimon had more of a personality than them. ;_;
Wisemon: “I see! In this Digital World . . . the children’s reliability and sincerity have allowed them to form a friendship with the Digimon. The Chosen Children saved us with knowledge and nurtured us with courage and love. And they have kindled hope. The answer to the crests’ mystery is . . . in other words, their entire adventure.” . . . Meh. It was nice of Toei to try and use all the names of the Crests in that explanation (although Angewomon had to come in with “light”, lmao) - and it would’ve been pretty neat . . . if their entire adventure was in fact actually good and worthwhile. But alas. His words feel empty. :P
Seraphimon and Ophanimon’s Mega evolutions were pretty damn cool. They had almost no build up though . . . lol. Just threat appears, so let’s go!!! But whatever. I really dig their designs. They look great!
But . . . uh, just like Angemon’s voice, Seraphimon’s voice is so bad, lmao. :c
The battle against Deathmon was super quick as well, but it looked cool, so eh. Whatever. Good enough, I guess. It felt epic for those few seconds there. :P
I get that this episode was about Takeru and Hikari (the angels), but why did Taichi seem to have a starring role when he was just . . . there . . . but did absolutely nothing? XD; Like, Yamato can do that too! Just be there, doing nothing, but seeming “important”. But . . .
Does Yamato not exist to Toei anymore? Is he just Taichi’s sperm donor for Omegamon? lmao. I swear, if Omegamon happens next episode, Yamato better feel like a feature role and not a cameo like he did here. :P
And the Great Catastrophe is Negamon! Whoever that is. He looks like a cross between a jellyfish and sperm. :D
Overall, I guess this was a pretty good start to the climax . . .? I guess. :P
And it’s official! This series will have a total of 67 episodes (just one more than the forever rumoured 66). That means only three episodes to go! YAY!!! \o/
I really hope all the kids are involved in these last three episodes - and it’s not just Taichi feat. Takari. :c

I really like the digidestined as parents, so how about a one-shot with Takari and their twins?
This is where I apologize for making you wait so long ;w;
SO LET’S MAKE THIS THE BEST ONE-SHOT EVER I hope
(I’ll admit, I’m cackling a little that this was the only older-them gif I could find)
Takari as Parents
“Nozomi! Hikaru!” Kari called, peeking her head out of the doorway while securing her left earring.
When she saw that the twins were still playing their board game, she wanted to sigh, but she couldn’t. They were just so cute. Hikaru’s tongue was sticking out of the corner of his mouth while Nozomi was twirling a strand of her hair.
T.K.’s chin appeared on her shoulder, his lips spread in a broad grin. “They can play for a few more minutes, can’t they?”
“If you’re the one willing to miss the reservation, then sure,” she quipped, turning to straighten her husband’s tie. When she met his eyes, they were shining, as they always seemed to be these days.
“Mama, Papa! We’re ready!”
Kari turned, realizing that Nozomi and Hikaru, looking for all the world exactly like their parents, were standing there waiting. She put her hands on her hips and quirked an eyebrow at them, trying to appear stern but failing fantastically.
Instead, she crouched in front of them and ruffled their hair. “Who wants to go visit Uncle Tai?"
“We are! We are!” the twins cheered, pulling on Kari and T.K.’s clothes as they pulled their parents out the door.
Laughing, T.K. teased, “If you two are good tonight, we’ll stay an extra hour at the amusement park tomorrow, okay?”
“Yay! Yay!”
In their excitement, Nozomi and Hikaru dragged T.K. and Kari out of the apartment. Not that they minded, of course--they loved their children just as much, if not more, than they loved each other. Which was a whole lot.
--------
OwO
That didn’t exactly go how I thought it would, but... mayhaps it’s alright? It ended up being more Kari than Takari in the end, but... perhaps that’s okay? Hm...
#digimon drabbles#takari#takeru takaishi#t.k. takaishi#hikari yagami#kari kamiya#also pulled these names out of nowhere but if you google 'em maybe you'll see why i picked 'em#so anyway how was this really

Hi again! Header anon here. Omg yay! Thank you! I’d really like a Takari header where there’s one scene/edit of them from each season (adventure, 02, tri and reboot). Like in one header. Maybe a rectangle for each? I’m not very good at art 😅 But the scene/edit from each is what I’d really like ☺️ If you accept, I totally do not mind the wait!! Thank you so much!!
i'll try to think a way to pull them together, but can you specify which scenes you want?
i'm also a takari shipper so i know there's a lot of them 🤣🤣 might be good if you give me some clues hehe :B

FEB. 14 Favorite ship/OTP
In which I out myself as a chaotic multi-shipper and annoy half of this fandom by tagging them because everyone makes such great posts. If I mentioned your @ and you want me to remove it, please tell me so I can do it right away!
I’m insufferable when it comes to exploring all kinds of characters' interactions, and I don’t take ‘being a shipper’ very seriously. (But I do have my favorites). At this point, I’m past apologizing for not picking only one.
Under the cut, because this is a LONG post.
♥️ I shipped Hikari and Takeru before I knew what shipping was, and that’s just how life be sometimes. The reason I started learning English outside of regular classes in school was so I could read fanfic of them as a tween. As of now, I’m more interested in them as 'strongly connected to each other and let’s have a good time figuring out the nature of that connection.’ I think they have a lot of potential as a couple. When they were kids, I think their bond was more inclined to sibling-like, especially when they were glued to Taichi and Yamato. Then, around 02 era, it changed a little, and I think Takeru fell for her (firstly in an ANNOYING, ‘protector’ kinda way, like he’s still protecting her because Taichi asked him to, zzzzzz, and then in a more genuine way), but she still saw him as her childhood best friend like-a-brother-to-me-he’s-kinda-cute-though-but-we-don’t-have-time-to-unpack-all-that-there’s-a-lot-of-shit-going-down. AND THEN, there’s Tri., and I love their dynamic. They’re flirty buddies, they’re intimate, they tease each other and love each other, and I think Hikari is finally realizing that her feelings aren’t just friendly anymore — they haven’t been for a while now. I headcanon that the more she becomes emotionally independent of Taichi, the more she realizes that what she has with Takeru is different. They would start off as BEST-friends-with-benefits when they’re in college, like 19-21yo, for a little while because they’re hesitating to change their dynamic, and then they just say fuck it, we’re in love, let’s see where this take us. Yey! They’re THE power couple. I’ll die as Takari trash, I suppose. I’m good with that.
♥️ I REALLY LIKE MIYAKARI, THEY’RE FJFFJfucking great together. I think they balance each other very well, much better than Takeru and Hikari, and, like Takari, it’s both a romantic ship and a brotp for me. Miyako brought out a side of Hikari we had never really seen before, and it’s the first time she has a horizontal relationship with another girl. (I don’t think she’s particularly close to Mimi, and she’s definitely Sora’s little sister at heart.) It might sound weird, but I’m glad the writers allowed someone to be annoyed at Hikari. It makes the whole thing a lot more human, more believable. Most people care for her in a mostly protector sort of way and then Miyako STRAIGHT-UP SLAPS HER (don’t do this in your irl relationships kiddos) and tells her she’s always gonna be there for her, not because Hikari is weak or fragile or whatever, but because they’re equals, they help each other not to get lost in themselves, they make each other stronger and wiser. Miyako is a very anxious character and Hikari grounds her. Hikari is ALSO a very anxious character and Miyako helps her let it out. Fuck yes.
♥️ S!O!R!A!T!O!
Do yourself a favor and go to https://jippy-kandi.tumblr.com/sorato. While you’re at it, visit @fuckyeahsorato, read @gossipchii‘s kizunacountdown post about Sorato, which has a link to ANOTHER sorato post by @adventure-hearts and have the time of your life. Have fun! I don’t make the rules. You just have fun.
(source: @jippy-kandi)
♥️ TAITO, YAMACHI, TAIMATT, call it whatever you want, I call it my heart and soul. Digimon Adventure was a Taito soap opera disguised as a toy-selling anime. And Tri. And Bokura no War Game. And Kizuna, for the trailer alone. They’re amazing but Omegamon can rest. Please.
♥️ I also ship Taiora, tough a bit less. To be honest, Taiorato solves 99% of my life’s problems, and I LOVE it. The potential is unlimited.
(source)
♥️ Jyomatora, also known as “Takeru’s parents” is another powerful OT3. Don’t boo me, I’m right.
♥️ DAIKEN!!!!!!! I could go on a rant about them, but @ladyanatui already did, better than I ever could. Look at this post that’s basically a Daiken reference guide and Bible.
♥️ Jyoumi makes me so, so happy. The bit in Adventure when they stay together, parted from the others...........dude..........good shit. They respect each other very much by then, and they’re very, very caring, in their own ways. Mimi’s speech in Adventure of how she refuses to engage in the war she was destined to and wants to find her own way to fight and Jyou immediately volunteering to stay behind with her is one of my favorite moments. The kid wants to be a doctor, he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. Mimi inspires him to actively choose a more peaceful option instead of just being in the middle of Yamato and Taichi’s drama, Jyou inspires her to be more level-headed without losing her spark, and together they’re one of the sweetest yet kind-of-unexpected duos I’ve ever seen. They’re good friends in Tri., which is a bit sad but also works for me just fine.
♥️ This gif says it all:
♥️ So does this blessed, revolutionary pic:
♥️ Taishiro is mostly a brotp for me, but also yay. Supportive boyfriends. They stole medicine from an abandoned fake Hospital together in one of the most emotional episodes of the series. Good content.
♥️ Kenkari is mostly a brotp for me, but also yay part 2. They obliterate the Dark Ocean’s ruler together while having the same haircut (I’m ignoring Kizuna!Ken’s hair length). Name a cuter date, I dare you.
♥️ I like Daikeru and Kenkeru basically the same amount. I love the idea of Takeru and Daisuke getting to know each other better, the idea of Daisuke losing his shit because he’s falling for his ‘rival’ and Takeru and Ken being that infuriatingly attractive couple who actually has a very deep relationship that started off as bonding over similar traumas.
♥️ Meikari, anyone? I always hoped that, if we got something like Tri., a character that represented ‘Darkness’ would get introduced and they’d have an interesting dynamic with Hikari, because Darkness is just as important to the Universe as Light, and it would be interesting to see these two disagreeing, agreeing, being repulsed by the other and then drawn together, a ‘twilight’ sort of situation. That...didn’t happen in Tri., but the heart wants what it wants. I totally recognize it’s a fanon thing and ooc Meiko, though. I wish they had had more meaningful/complementary interactions. Their partners almost killed everyone, where’s their closure?!
♥️ Koumi is adorable. So is Kenyako, and I can’t wait for them to interact in Kizuna!
I hope this post entertained you and that reminded you of Digimon’s amazing range of interesting pairings!
#kizunacountdown#digimon#digimon adventure#bea with the tea#i was gonna make a joke about hikari's bro con BUT I DIDN'T#this posts includes takari sorato jyoumi taito miyakari daiken kenkeru koumi sorami#jyourato or jyoumatora i don't even know how to call it#taiorato meikari kenkari taishiro daikeru miyami taiora#i'm so tired

DigiFes 2016 Special Drama - liveblogging & random thoughts
I decided to give the subbed Special Drama a second watch and do a little write up on it, because this may be the funniest thing tri. has given us so far.
If you haven’t watched it yet, please DO IT NOW! It really must be seen to be appreciated fully, as the Voice Actors are fantastic in this and it’s particularly satisfying to hear the audience’s reactions - proving that the running gags in the series are pretty much universal.
Oh, and a huge thanks to onkei-kun for allowing us to access this gift!
The drama starts with a brief recap video with scenes from Saikai and Ketsui. Yay! Nothing like being reminded of the kids happy, normal lives with their Digimon before all the bad things happened and their lives were wrecked!
By the way, regarding the timeline: this beach trip actually fits the series. It takes place “in one summer day”, after the trip to the hot springs, but before Mystery Man shows up. Looking at the timeline of Ketsui, this probably happens after the Monday when Taichi & co talk to Nishijima at the school and before the chain of events that starts when Orgemon appears and culminates with the school festival. This explains why everyone is still so happy-go-lucky.
TL;DR: it may take some mental gymnastics, but this story fits the main timeline and so, presumably, it could be considered ‘canon’.
There’s something utterly endearing about the voice actors, especially the veteran ladies who are all sorts of adorable. I love how some of them are wearing clothes that reflect their characters - Shigematsu Atori stans particularly hard for Piyomon! Mimi’s actress is wearing a dress with cactuses (cacti?)!
I only recently found out Tentomon isn’t played by an old man but rather by a very talented and prolific young actor, so he’s automatically my favourite (along with Legend Takeuchi Junko).
Speaking of which, it’s now established that Tentomon is a major enabler in Koushirou’s new-found lewdeness, which is both hilarious and frightening when you think about it. Koushirou stealing his dad’s camera is bad enough, but Tento encouraging him to take bikini pics is a new low.
This one belongs in a “Digimon out of context” blog.
Agumon’s food gags are getting old fast (Tailmon agrees). I still laughed though because THAT VOICE.
Also, it seems Mimi dragged Jou into this mess, which is both expected and admirable.
JouxMimi fans, rejoice!
The point of this trip is to introduce Jou to Meiko, which the movies kind of had to skip over. Can’t blame them for that, but thankfully we get a nice little moment out of this.
Jou calls her Mochizuki-kun, which is pretty cute!
Jou, the only person who would match Meiko in an apology contest.
I realise tri. has made me incapable of interpreting any of Takeru’s lines in a straight-faced way, but c’mon, this is TOTALLY intentional.
In case you’re wondering, Yamato and Taichi are still on a break.
Describe tri. in three words.
Even Hikari is starting to troll Yamato and Taichi. Takeru is a bad influence.
This applies to cooking, bands, holding grudges, and career options.
You know, asking Agumon to light a fire is not a bad idea considering that it probably saved them from starving plenty of times when they were kids.
Does this grill belong to Hiroaki? Is that why Yamato is so against Agumon destroying it?
Oh, *BURN*.
Someone take the url “Bacon Yamato” since I believe Knife of Ramen is already taken.
And yes, Agumon, I’m sure he’s delicious.
Takeru quitely slips in an “onii-chan” at this point because he’s the literal worst.
Anyway, Yamato being a barbecue aficionado, expert, and utter perfectionist is one of my favourite new random facts about him. Thank you, tri.
Quick, someone write a AU when Yamato presents the Japanese version of Kitchen Nightmares. I’m sure he and Gordon Ramsey would hit it off.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAH THIS IDIOT
Sidenote, but in addition to a perfect voice, Jou’s VA has the best facial expressions.
Where’s the lie, though.
Koushirou fainting after Mimi poses for him in a swimsuit requires zero animation to land, and it’s AWESOME.
Digimon: doing jokes about teen pervs without actually showing any questionable content. Hooray!
Mimi, HA POWAH
Taichi and Yamato blushing for girls in bikinis is my new aesthetics.
Also, faithful to the spirit of tri., this doesn’t really specify who they’re blushing for. I mean, it’s Sora, but Meiko is also mentioned and Mimi’s around so all your shipping fantasies remain intact! tri. truly is a gift to all fans.
This suave motherfucker.
It’s undeniably canon that Takeru has a weird obsession with Meiko’s cuteness and if it wasn’t for the age difference we’d all be freaking out about this ship.
It’s also undeniably canon that Takeru likes older women and you cannot convince me otherwise.
AGE IS JUST A NUMBER, BITCHES
Takeru immediately compliments the other girls because you would want to keep your options open while showing the other guys how it’s done.
The voice of reason in this mess and probably why Takari never happened.
Mimi’s right. Taichi should learn from Takeru. In fact, everyone should take notes.
I literally went on Merriam Webster to look up “smarty” because I’m adopting that word from now on.
Please, Yamato, spend more time with your brother.
As people have pointed out, this shows that the only reason why Yamato ever got with Sora is because Takeru pulled all the strings and told him what to do at all times.
Exactly, Yamato. Good strategy.
Takeru’s VA is literally Takeru IRL and I’m dying at his perfect expressions.
Feminist Queen Mimi is right as always.
YAS! Drop all the men and steal Taichi’s goggles while you’re at it!
Because he’s smarty AND smart.
Honestly, the way these Digimon talk about their partners, there’s no way anyone can have self-esteem issues in this team! A Digimon is a girl’s best friend!
“You smell nice” and “It feels good getting hugs from you”. Only Takeru could make these pick up lines work!
“It’s better to be pathetic than to be a pervert” - life lessons from the Digimon Adventure boys.
I simply imagine Gomamon saying this at random points in Jou’s life.
Obigatory JOOOOOOOOOOO moment! Take a shot!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH MARRY ME JOU I’m human
Now that compliments have been delivered, we can finally get to the damn barbecue.
No Mimi, you cannot swim AFTER you eat!
RIP Mei!
And because this is tri, you have to end a comic sketch in a tragic note and eerie foreshadowing! FUN!
In Conclusion: This very short drama has a fantastic script that totally gets the characters, the amazing cast gets to shine, and it’s FUNNY as hell. Please, TOEI, do more of these in the future. We’ll buy it.
Also, can we please have a spin-off series dedicated to Takeru’s life as a professional troll and fuckboi? Cause I’d watch the shit out of that and I know I’m not alone.

Soushitsu Reaction (per episode)
Posting below the cut, just to be safe
Episode 14
- My theory about Daigo and Maki being the OG Chosen was so right. But that entire scene was a giant clusterfuck. I couldn’t tell you what the fuck was going on other than the fact that it appeared they got their asses handed to them by the Dark Masters and then Maki’s partner disappeared (died?)
- The train tracks and the cart. The nostalgia. The reunion is so cute. Yamato acting as if he wasn’t excited to see Tsunomon again made me laugh. Poor Sora tried so hard to reconnect with Yokomon. Now my heart hurts.
- Daddy Jou is back and all about finding something to eat and somewhere to sleep.
- Mimi appears and fakes tears (i think) and is super optimistic about how they’ll return home. Such character development, I’m shook.
- Taichi chases after Meicoomon when she appears. WHAT A GOOD BOY.
- Nostalgia kicks in again ‘cause it’s lunch time. Mimi is real slick with that comment about Sora’s future husband. Koushiro my dear child is so adorable with his rant about oolong tea. Motimon cutting him off to remind him to eat before Tokomon does is so typical. I laughed.
- Poor Sora looks so lonely without Yokomon
- Then we have Taichi unsure of what to do about the Meicoomon thing and he has a flashback to her demon mode (meicrackmon is such an ugly name I don't want to use it). Yamato reminds him that Meiko is one of them and walks off like geesh he really doesn’t cut that man any slack lmao.
- Taichi and Agumon have a moment and I want to die because it’s so damn cute.
- Sora goes to bat with the lil’ brat Yokomon again and loses and my heart hurts again because Sora doesn’t deserve this.
- Back to the debate about what to do next, everyone is upset that the reboot may have been for nothing since Meicoomon wasn’t affected. Taichi finally recovers his role as leader and is resolved to reunite his friends. Everyone is on board as well. Yay ~~
- The Digimon are now adults. I’m a little disappointed since they were following nostalgia to a T and the little rainbow light striking them would’ve really just nailed it.
15
- Biyomon is still being a brat even in adult form
- Flashback of mini Mei’s, how cute. But i still understand nothing about their partnership other than the fact that Meiko keeps Meicoomon’s demon side under wraps
- Taichi returns from looking for distortions and I’m just wondering how the hell he missed the giant purple coming from Meicoomon.
- Mimi has her cell phone and this is new and kind of weird to see
- Takeru calls Meiko hopeless and Hikari teases him. Yay Takari??
- Lmao Takeru is still saying he loves Yamato the most and Yamato is blushing after Taichi calls him out
- Sora is so upset and it continues to chip away at my heart
- That Taiorato scene…yikes. That was a golden opportunity to distinguish boyfriend from best friend and Toei completely fucked it up. I'm irritated. Taichi is her best friend and an idiot so him being oblivious is normal. I’m not even a shippy person but Yamato and Sora are supposedly end game so I feel like that scene should have gone down differently. Like the whole clenching his fist and staying quiet and looking to Taichi for help. WHAT WAS THAT. And then asking if they should ask Takeru with her right there (I get it was with good intentions but...) ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. THAT’S YOUR FUTURE WOMAN. COMFORT HER. That was some horribly shitty writing.
- Then Meicoomon ruins that oh-so-sweet moment just as Mugendramon appears in a flash of light. Like literally what. the fuck. I dead ass expected Meiko to appear instead because it looked like the gate had opened. Nope, just a Dark Master here to fuck things up again
- We’re back to the real world and Daigo is finally figuring shit out. Unsurprisingly, Maki is shady and is working with Yggdrasil and used Meicoomon to cause the reboot so she could see her dead partner again. I get it, but how selfish can you be? There’s a super cute flashback to teenage Daigo/Maki and Daigo is SMOOTH ASF with that partner line as he comforts Maki. Like shit, please teach Taichi and Yamato your ways.
- Back in the Digi World the gang is reunited and they call for their partners to Digivolve and the Digimon are like ????
- They’re blasted by Mugendramon and i’m over here like how tf did they survive. Then it’s revealed a distortion appeared and saved them all, but they’re all separated without their right partner
- Biyomon is back to being a brat and makes Sora cry - there goes another part of my heart. Then they find Meiko and i’m just like wtf is she Houdini now??
- The others are in other parts of the world and the nostalgia is real. I swear Toei’s goal was ‘how much nostalgia can we fit in one movie’
16
- Meiko = mountain/country girl = good at making fires
- Biyomon is only being nice to Meiko. What. A. Brat.
- Mimi and Tentomon make a good name-calling team
- Yamato and Koushiro are the dream team lmao. Koushiro showing the digimon pictures of their adventures in the real world warmed my heart. Agumon questioning Yamato about Taichi was priceless. ALSO LETS JUST STAND HERE UNTIL THE TRAIN IS INCHES AWAY FROM US AND THEN JUMP. Like how could let that happen Koushiro, you’re smarter than this.
- Taichi is being gloomy because he doesn’t know what they are to their partners anymore and Hikari is like ‘nah just accept them for how they are now because for Plotmon, it’s better this way.’ So wise beyond your years, Hikari.
- More cut scenes. Takeru is in primary village getting patched up by our good pal Elecmon. Again, nostalgia.
- Hackmon is filling in Daigo. He’s on the good side aka Homeostatis. We learn that Gennai has dabbled with the darkness and he refers to Meicoomon as libra (I think) because ANOTHER MYSTERY IS JUST WHAT WE NEED AT THIS POINT
- We’re back to Sora and Meiko. Sora is depressed once again and doesn’t know what to do to fix things. Meiko throws her words back at her and i’m screaming because she’s SUCH A GOOD GIRL.
- Meicoomon appears and is pissed and starts attacking like WUT. Meiko is cool asf and is like ‘yes, you’re bad but i’m also bad for abandoning you i’ll never do that again.’
- Dark Gennai appears in Ken form and is all like hi let’s play. He’s reveals he is on the side of Yggdrasil. Meicoomon says bye and goes after Mugendramon but is tossed aside like she’s nothing and falls into DGs hands. Sora shows up all queen-like and throws rocks. DG tackles her and feels her up for her DigiVice (also, what the FUCK was the unnecessary licking, i’m disgusted Toei). Dumb and Dumber (i apologize, I’m still very salty about the previous episode) show up to save Sora just in time. Everyone is reunited due to the distortions and Gennai reveals even more information - Yggdrasil doesn’t want the two species interacting and wants to destroy the Human world. Unsurprisingly, the Chosen have played into Yggrasil’s plan accordingly, and honestly, i’m so over it. They couldn’t have come up with anything better??
- They’re about to be blasted away and Plotmon becomes a total badass and allows them to escape to a boat of all places
- DG finds them easily and Dumb and Dumber along with Hikari come up with the genius plan to let themselves be decoys while the others escape. DG is like HA YOU THOUGHT and sends MetalSeadramon to play. Nice going, guys.
- Back on the boat, Sora and Meiko are still there. Biyomon finally comes to her senses and realizes what a beautiful soul Sora is and i’m soaring
- The Chosen are on the run and DG is still babbling nonsense. JYOU FUCKING TACKLES HIM AND I’M CACKLING. HOLY SHIT THAT JUST MADE THIS MOVIE FOR ME. The digimon are ruthless asf and attack him one after the other - it’s fantastic.
- We see Maki temporarily reunite with Tapirmon and she’s pissed he doesn’t remember her. Like girl what did you think would happen??
- Back in the water Dumb and Dumber are fighting with MetalSeadramon and then they disappear under water after protecting Agumon and Gabumon. They have the MOST GAY MOMENT OFF ALL TIME as they swim towards the surface. Then they’re out of oxygen but somehow are having a conversation with their partners. Agumon and Gabumon save them AND THEY CHEAT US THE EVOLUTION SCENE AGAIN. Plotmon evolves to save Hikari and it’s beautiful.
- MSD is defeated and scene cuts to Sora returning to the others. DG escapes and disappears. Mugendramon goes after Biyomon, Sora jumps on to get her back. While Sora gets pummeled into the wall the two bond and it’s beautiful and Biyomon evolves. PHOENIXMON IS SO MAJESTIC.
- Cut scene to Meiko being cornered by DG and him being a creepy bastard again.
- Back to the action, the two attack, Sora gets knocked off AND JYOU COMES TO THE RESCUE AGAIN. Then all of a sudden, Patamon wants to fight so he evolves and we finally see Seraphimon. Next is Tentomon and now it’s overkill and i’m not happy with the way this played out either. Like them wanting to fight is seriously what triggered their evolution? What. The. Hell.
- Meiko is being strangled by DG to trigger Meicoomon’s evolution. He says some pretty harsh stuff to her. Like geez, yeah she’s not exactly the best partner but to say she should’ve never been born? Rude asf.
- Mugendramon is defeated and everyone is ecstatic because they still have a bond. Jyou is smug even though Gomamon didn’t evolve lmao what a cutie. Sora forgives Dumb and Dumber after they apologize (+10 points) but I’m still aggravated by the whole ordeal
- The world shakes and we see Meicoomon in demon form and the movie ends with DG laughing manically with Meiko passed out
Gotta say that overall I really wasn’t impressed. Confession was pretty hard to follow up with but…this? This was not what I expected at all. I’m pretty disappointed but there’s still two more movies so my fingers are crossed that it’ll get better from here.

Update!
Hello, everybody!
As a heads up, the next two weeks will be very hectic for me due to packing/moving, as well as the upcoming Digimon fandom events (Takari Week and Koumi Week, yay!!!) on my writing blog. After that, my fall semester will come swooshing in like nobody’s business, so I will be a busy bee (Tentomon?) once more.
Never fear! I will still attempt to do 1-2 requests every Saturday as much as I can. And with now 200 followers (!!!!!!! CRYING), there may be an event on the horizon! So thank you all for your support!
Love, Gen

Hi! Yay for getting back into writing Digimon! I am too and the prompts are a great way to start. I loved your Taichi x Koushiro piece so I'd like to request prompt 66 with Takeru and Hikari. Thanks!
Number 66: I won’t let you get hurt.
Characters: Takeru x Hikari. This takes place sometime after Tri at a school dance. I tried to make Hikari a little more human in this piece, as we often only see her in the midst of saving the world. I love Takari with my entire being, and I am embarrassingly attached to this lil prompt.
‘Mimi-san is going to be so upset with me.’ Hikari mused, mascara trailing down her cheeks. Her dress, the color of cherry blossoms, contrasted against the sidewalk outside of her school building. Knife of Day’s newest single filtered through the brisk spring air. The day, as she recalled, had begun perfectly.
It was the last day of middle school, and Hikari remembered the excited buzz in the air. Flyers lined the hallways, advertising cram school hours, club meetings, and the end-of-the-year dance. For weeks, Miyako and Mimi had been pestering the brunette about the fine details. “Have you picked a dress yet?”, “Do you need help with your makeup?”, and the age-old question: “Has Takeru-kun asked you to go with him?”
Though her friends meant well, she resented the sympathy looks they gave her as she informed them that the blonde already had a date: Kumiko. In Hikari’s opinion, Kumiko was everything her best friend deserved. Red hair tumbled around her shoulders in gentle waves, ending just short of her slim waist. According to Daisuke, Kumiko had the largest chest in the school, and “what boy wouldn’t that hanging off his arm at the dance?”
To make matters worse, the girl in question was sweet. Kumiko was funny, top of her class, and as of Tuesday night, going to the dance with Takeru. Daisuke, who was already spoken for, assured Hikari that any guy would be lucky to ask her, but it had yet to happen.
In an effort make the most of her abysmal situation, Hikari allowed her friends to smear makeup onto her cheeks and dress her in a pink, frilly pass down of Mimi’s. Truthfully, she was grateful. Miyako meticulously applied eyeshadow and mascara for what felt like hours as Mimi struggled to encompass her choppy brunette locks into an intricate up-do.
Anxiety nestled in her stomach as she walked into the gymnasium alone. Her knees, unaccustomed to the kitten heels her feet were forced into, wobbled as she entered the world of sparkling punch, colorful crepe paper, and pulsing music. Yamato and his band (“Knife of Ramen!” she could hear Taichi say) energized the crowd.
Not wanting to be seen alone, Hikari searched for a recognizable face. The thick crowd quickly thwarted any attempts of finding a friend, so she wandered towards the refreshment table, eager to find a distraction.
Admist the assortment of cupcakes and finger foods stood Kumiko. Red satin hugged her developed curves in the best of ways, and Hikari vainly wished she had taken Miyako’s advice of stuffing her bra. “You’re Yagami-san, right?” the girl asked, pouring some punch with her perfectly manicured nails.
“Yes, and you’re Kumiko-chan. Takeru-kun has told me a lot about you.” Hikari responded. Her voice sounded alien to her ears, clipped and unnatural.
Flicking her eyes towards the brunette, Kumiko sized her up. “Well, of course he has. I mean, who wouldn’t?” Hikari had little time to process the sneer that followed her comment as an excited head of blonde hair rushed up to the pair.
“Kumiko-san, I’ve been looking everywhere for you!” he exclaimed, fingers ruffling through his gelled locks.
“Oh, Takeru-kun, stop being so silly! I was just chatting with a dear friend of mine.”
It was only then that his blue eyes glanced into hers. An uncomfortable warmth rested in her cheeks as his eyes trailed her form. His golden hair fanned across his forehead, framing his luminous blue eyes. A silk shirt was tucked into a pair of black skinny jeans, and Hikari found it difficult to breathe. ‘He’s glorious.’
After a few moments of awkward silence, the brunette held her hand up in a greeting of sorts, not quite trusting her voice. “Uh- um, Hikari-chan,” he stuttered, cheeks the color of rose petals, “You look, uh, wow.”
She could feel her heart beating out of her chest. Though she could be just as oblivious as her brother, the young girl didn’t miss the way his eyes settled on her appreciatively. Just looking at Takeru made her mouth dry and stomach queasy. “Takeru, you look… great.”
From beside her, Kumiko snickered. “Aw, Hikari-chan, you are too cute when you’re all flustered! I’m almost sorry that nobody asked you to come to the dance.”
If the words hadn’t of struck a chord in her chest, the sudden onslaught of punch did. Thick streams of red liquid cascaded down Hikari’s scalp, stinging her eyes. Somebody was talking to her, but the pounding in her ears drowned them out. ‘Oh god oh god oh god oh god.’
Her heels screeched against the linoleum floor, tears mingling with the punch on her cheeks. The hallway blurred past as the young girl tried to make her escape. Crisp, night air chilled her drenched frame, but Hikari numbly collapsed against the curb. Her fingers listlessly curled around the hem of her sodden dress and attempted to wipe the remains of make-up from her face.
As one song blended into another, Hikari’s sobs slowed into whimpers. She could get over Kumiko’s attitude; once you’ve stared into the face of death, there was little that could scare you. But Takeru had seen it happen, he heard her words.
Preoccupied with her thoughts, the brunette shrieked in surprise as a warm hand caressed her bare shoulder. Cerulean eyes, illuminated by the streetlights, simmered in guilt. His form, lean from years of basketball, settled beside hers, shielding her from the chilly breeze.
“Where’s your date?” Bitterness seeped into her words. Though her eyes remained trailed to the puddles of punch that settled around her, she allowed Takeru’s hands to pry her hair away from her tear-stained cheeks. His palm eventually rested against her cheek, smiling softly as her cheeks became flushed.
“I’m not sure,” he began, chuckling lightly to himself, “She left in a hurry after I shoved a cupcake down the front of her dress.”
In shock, Hikari turned her body towards his. “Are you alright, Takeru-kun. Don’t let what happened to me bother you; I know you really liked her.”
His thumb rubbed against her skin in reassurance before he pulled away completely. “She’s got nothing on you.”
Hikari strained to pick up his voice as the crickets sang their lullaby. The air was suddenly warm and humming with an undefined energy. “I- I don’t und-”
“Besides,” he interrupted, “I won’t let you get hurt.”
