#seems unprompted outside of saying like 'we know it was Koushirou we just changed the relationship and made him Advice Guy'

[god-fucking-dammit-mizutani]

“I’m still pushing my narrative [Taichi and Koushirou] were never foreshadowed as drifting,” isn’t really too much of a reach actually when I think about it because I’m pretty sure the Tri staff writers in that one interview literally said pushing Koushirou off to the side (for Yamato) was an active decision they all made?? Like not something that was just naturally happening?

That’s kind of what that first paragraph here is saying, right? Or am I totally off base?

#I haven't been feeling great so maybe I'm reading it wrong #plus tone and translation could be a root issue of any misunderstanding #but it seems like they were like 'we chose to change Taichi and Yamato's relationship' #and they had been talking about Yamato's character before so the line #'Koushirou was the one always by Taichi's side' #seems unprompted outside of saying like 'we know it was Koushirou we just changed the relationship and made him Advice Guy' #I only have what I've seen and heard about Tri to go on and I know they're still shown as friends/Taichi listens to him #but they aren't together a lot to my knowledge?? #and yeah that sounds like they didn't forget or that they just didn't do anything with it #like an oops we remembered in hindsight #but that they actively chose not to #I got one person who is generally unbiased to say that's how they read it too #but honestly don't take this as Actual Truth but just my interpretation of their words? #Like if someone has a different way of reading it I am all ears #the second scriptwriter saying Kou likes Taichi too much actually only started during part 4 apparently #but like at least one other agrees #anyway thanks as always for coming to the tagtalk #Shut up lala #Digimon is a Fun Series #tri criticism #not directly just mentioning their decisions #but then also Kizuna apparently kinda does it?? #but I think they were kind of probably going off from Tri.
