A sort of follow up question to my last one.

Will you make any Taikoura based on the 2020 reboot?

Aaaaaactually, I already have! There are exactly two paths I would love to go see realized when it comes to a potential reboot sequel.

1.) Give me a slice-of-life-rom-com with these dorks being somewhere between 14 and 17 and discovering the wonderful world of polyamory. As depicted here (including Mimi)! Reboot!Taichi would be so smooth as a teenager anyway, so it would be a waste not to explore that further.

2.) GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION FOR TEAM LIGHT, TOEI. I know I will never get a full-blown soulmates scenario like in Sense8, but I need them to have a connection that makes them realize they're drawn to one another. That there is a reason for it. I have already outlined this for Taiora and Taishirou respectively, but really, I just want these three to be connected, let them sense and feel each other in ways nobody else can understand.

(Also: There has been a fanfic once that depicted Jogress partners as being capable of feeling each other's heartbeats. Koura were Jogress partners and Sora was capable of feeling Koushirou's heartache over being in love with Taichi and man... That scenario will always live rent-free in my head. I mean, I complained over Koura not really bonding, but then, what better way would there be to bond than have them both realize their feelings for Taichi and help each other come to terms with that?)

HAPPY PRIDE, EVERYONE! 🏳️‍🌈 It’s June and that means, celebrating diversity even more visibly than usual and displaying your very own pride. So I thought about headcanoning my favourite polyamourous Digimon OT3 onto the canvas once more; with pansexual!Taichi and his two favourite redheads, bisexual!Sora and demisexual!Koushirou, loving each other very dearly. 🧡❤️💜

(Disclaimer, they’re wearing the polysexual flag instead of the polyamourous flag - and loving and being with several genders is just as wonderful. #BiPanPolySolidarity)

How would you imagine Taikoura would play out in the 2020 reboot? And do you have any moments from the anime where you you imagined this ship shining through?

Mhhh, that's a very interesting question. I have probably memorized all of their most prominent interactions - and less obvious/just implied ones - in the OG anime timeline and usually base my OT3 ideas on that specific version of them as well. But I gotta say... Reboot!Taikoura has its own appeal. In fact, while both versions have several things in common, there are still aspects about them that could - potentially - play out very differently. It all comes down to their different set-ups and personalities (and also a little bit of imagination, because one might argue that the reboot characters are not as fleshed out/deep as their OG counterparts, but that's all a matter of perspective). I will probably compile a post with their most interesting moments at some point, but it's fun to theorize for a bit, shall we?

Let's start with the things both OG!Taikoura and Reboot!Taikoura have in common to establish our baseline. In my opinion, that's exactly three things: 1.) Taichi and Sora already go "a long way back" in both timelines and have a solid foundation as we enter the series. Which gets displayed time and time again by Taiora being portrayed as football duo that is incredibly devoted to (and soft with) one another, even framing Sora as a second in command every now and then. Unfortunately, the OG!football trio does not exist in this timeline - but that doesn't keep Koushirou from swooning over them anyway.

2.) Taichi is basically Koushirou's first "real life" friend and it shows. While OG!Koushirou is seeming more independent and confident in his skills (and masks his insecurities a lot), Reboot!Koushirou only really discovers his self-esteem through the encouragement of their bond (+ Tentomon).

3.) This is probably the more interesting aspect, which is both the same and yet portrayed more visibly than in the OG: The fact that, due to point 1 and 2 combined, Sora and Koushirou are LITERALLY Taichi's knights. Team Light exists for a reason and that is to have these two being constantly framed together to be a.) worrying about Taichi, b.) fighting by his side/to protect him, c.) sending him their energy.

I maintain that the OG was very adamant about framing Koura to be completely ride or die for Taichi as well, but it was never as visibly obvious as it is here. And while Taichi is basically very omni-shippable with the majority of the cast in the reboot anyway, he reciprocates their attitude in particular by CONSTANTLY praising both of them in ways that encourage and enable them to become stronger as well. He helps them to overcome their own insecurities and boundaries for the sake of supporting him and recognizing the true nature of their crests. One could also say: Love and Knowledge can only really thrive when Courage is involved. And the "awesome counter" has been broken by now anyway.

As mentioned in my Taishirou comparison analysis before, that also means there isn't a lot of friction between the three of them - but who doesn't like a peaceful iteration of their favourite OT3 every once in a while, huh?

While the bond between Taichi with Sora and Koushirou respectively is, as mentioned above, very elaborated upon in regards to both individual bonding moments and the "knighthood", Koura don't get as much time to bond individually with each other outside of that. There are some cute moments, but outside of their devotion to Taichi, they still have quite a way to go.

But either way, there is a lot of potential and the fondness is definitely there, so aside from basically all Team Light moments and all those I have already shown above, these are also some honorary mentions. Because these kids are positively enchanted by each other and nobody can tell me otherwise (with episode 36 and 50 probably being my favourites):

Guess who was in Disneyland this week and is completely obsessed with the idea of these dorks going on vacation there?

Gotta post a few of the doodles I recently made... Because some Digimon trios are definitely worth sharing.

You’re giving me the courage to look ahead and move forward, to not restrain myself and my beliefs, to be brave enough to speak my mind, fight for what is dear to me and be my most honest, most genuine self.

You’re letting me know what it means to try to understand each other and myself, helping me to look for new paths, new possibilities, different approaches, facing even the darkest secrets with unshattered curiosity.

You’re making me see the depths of shared affections, allowing myself to open up and be close to others and be my most vulnerable self, helping me see that I am loved and able to give love with mind, heart and soul.

#my doodles #taikoura #taishiora #this weekend was super weird so i was in the mood to draw something sappy once more #tri really robbed us when it came to more taikoura interactions #let them be silly teenagers who tease each other and have fun #who are FRIENDS who enjoy spending time together #because they are GOOD for each other #and make each other BETTER #anime #digimon #taichi yagami #koushirou izumi #sora takenouchi #ot3

Am I doing the meme right??? I mean, they’re all sensible adults who have known each other for a long time, there’s always room for feelings to change, right?

#taikoura #taishiora #my doodles #no surprise that taichi would be the most enamoured with them #but in the end they all love each other very dearly #i think this is the most romantically leaning taikoura art i've done so far #just want them to be happy and enjoy life after all the non-talking about feelings as teenagers #let's be real it was just a matter of time until i couldn't resist drawing something like this for them #dutchforstrangers was a great inspiration in recent days #koura #taishirou #taiora #taishiro

Did the art remind you of... Kouraichi? I don't know what the OT3 ship name is

Oh, it absolutely and thoroughly did!!! I haven't watched the movie yet, but the character designs and antics alone are absolutely marvellous.

Look at the heigh differences, the skin (and kinda hair) colours, the choice of clothes (ESPECIALLY for Giulia! Blue hat over red, short hair? COME ON). Like... Wow, I'm so in love with this???

I call them Taikoura, because it seems the easiest to me, but I have seen several names for them already: Like you said, Kouraichi, Taishiora or Taishirora.
