I always assumed Sora was a canonical hoebag. And I was right!

Childhood friend romance trope. Plus, the movie made it a big deal that Tai got Sora a hairclip for her birthday and Kari's narration said that Sora was still waiting for Tai to call her.

So subverting that to have her end up with Matt, who was a real jerk to her at times in the first series was surprising.

Because Tai is the main protagonist and Sora is seen as the main female protagonist, and they are also friends, so romance cliche dictates they should bang.

If only the director also knew that subverting tropes doesn't mean it's good writing by default.

Oh please, like that Twilight bullshit is any better.

>He never saw the end of the Etemon arc.

Dub shit.

It still wasn't as bad as what Digimon Tamers did with Rika. Give her some shippy moments with both Takato and Henry, but Takato likes Jeri so Rika was most likely going to end up with Henry. But surprise! Ryo, the Gary Stu character from a videogame was put into the show to show just how awesome he is. So then once he shows up he basically becomes Rika's love interest.

Speaking of, the episode that Henry called Rika late at night for a battle with a Deva made me wonder why it was never brought up by Rika's mom after that. I mean, shouldn't she have said something about Rika running out of the house in the middle of the night when her mom would assume she's meeting up with the boy she just got off the phone with? And that' not even getting into the time Henry answered Rika's cell phone when her grandmother called her.

Sora x Yamato came out of nowhere and made no sense in the Japanese version too. Even the seiyuu were baffled. Perhaps the director shouldn't have been such a pitiful autist, then he wouldn't been so upset that nobody got his vision.

The only reason Yamato and Sora got picked was because the boss was like "what if we don't put the main guy and the main girl together? what a unique tweest"

Who cares? I never liked Sora anyway.

It wouldn't have been a problem for me if Matt and Sora would've actually had some meaningful interactions in the first season, but they didn't that I can remember.

Digimon was lowkey harem. Joe and Izzy were fucking nerds, and matt was clearly gay. The only rational pairing was Tai X any girl, and Sora was obviously topgirl.

Girls don't need meaningful interactions before wanting Chad's dick

Neither have much if any basis in canon.

there was a bigger ship tease with his fucking sister than with Sora

It doesn’t matter, because Rika grew up to become a full-on dyke in all but name.

>Sora was obviously topgirl
>NOT based Meems
You can just stop right there.

I always thought Mimi was the female protagonist, the quintessential self insert

Didn't a drama CD reveal she got into motocross or something?

Rukato will never die.

The same problem that most series not focused on romance have.

Give an attractive male/female duo a significant amount of plot relevant interaction early on, then fail to sell the emotional development and intimacy of the intended pairing at a later point on the series after the story has grown to the point of diluting subsequent interactions.

Tai x Mimi is kino.

Everyone knows the true pairing everyone was butthurt that didn't happen was Takari.

Especially if that plot relevant screentime is one on one isolated from the rest of the group or party.

We see this shit with Ishida/Orihime because Kubo put them together during what is widely considered the best arc of the series, especially early on.

>You know Tai, you really have grow up.

Ah, yes. Spending so much time on Davis being so jealous of TK, then in the end have her end up with neither of them.

And I'm still annoyed that the followup to the Evil Dark Undersea Master episode was never made.

I still laugh knowing taichi was a cuck, yamato on the other hand was a fucking chad even takeru was getting bitches wet he probably fucked hikaru on the down low in s2

Sora has the crest of love and sits between two major male characters. Huge female self-insert bait.

>Girls don't need meaningful interactions before wanting Chad's dick

These. He was a brooding pretty guy. Of course a basic shoujo like Sora would want him.

The thing is, Yamato is technically a main character, the chosen were the focus of the 1st series and their digimon were secondary/support characters.

And technically, the original chosen weren’t the main focus in 02, so it made even less sense to pair two “now” side characters for the purpose of subverting a trope (Ken and Miyako already had that covered as the surprise ship).

What gets me is the execution of the pairing, if Taichi wasn’t supposed to be a factor then why even put him in that Christmas situation in the first place? Why not make a genuine scene between Sora and Yamato where both characters are shown onscreen to gradually demonstrate a mutual attraction? And why diminish Sora’s feelings by putting her in the same position as every other fan girl in his concert?

Taichi and Sora didn’t have to be together, but it made even less sense to put her with Yamato.

The Wargames movie was alluding to it with the birthday gift.

I never understood why all of you shippers self-insert as Taichi when all the main cast are equally important and them complementing each other's flaws is one of the central themes of this series.

Never really saw anything between them other than being the babies of the group during Adventure.

You kinda have 02 to blame for that with the position it put Taichi in and the obvious status power gap they gave Yamato.

It's not about self inserting and mentioning "shipping" is hilariously dumb. They had moments together, the only ones that did, actually.
Everyone marrying out of the group would've been seen as fine, but Sora got character assassinated in 02 just so she could be the trophy Yamato wins against Taichi... they barely even talked... Sora had more chemistry with Jou for fuck's sake.

Imagine actually believing this

That's what people said about Tri

Probably something along the lines of
>imoto wins the Taichibowl
>imoto route confirmed
>incest is wincest

I find it funny they actually retconned Sora and Yamato dating just so they could force their live triangle because back in the day they could never milk shipperfags as the love triangle didnt exist, she just had a thing with Taichi and then out of nowhere she's just dating Yamato.
God forbid they'd actually put effort into making their nonsensical pairing work. 18 years later and they still have 0 chemistry...

>she just had a thing with Taichi
She had? Never noticed while watching.

They had a few moments like the hairpin debacle in Our War Game or when he rescued her in the Etemon arc.

Yeah. They're the only ones that interact more than the others and it comes off as they like eachother but they're young and maybe oblivious at times.

>the main cast are equally important
To some extent, yes, but Taichi was the primary main character.

They seem close in general. Even subtle things like when they're trapped at the mall In the Vamdemon arc and Sora sees Taichis parents crying and she goes over to comfort them. That was cute. Or when Taichi screws up with his Crest with Skull Gretmon and goes to his special training, whe he returns theres a small moment where she acknowledges his return.
She was also the first to leave and search for him after the Etemon arc and when she activates her crest he's genuinly trying to cheer her up and take her sadness away, at the end when Biyomon says she felt Sora's love Taichi says he wants to feel Sora's love too.

Got you covered senpai

So... What were they thinking with this scene?

02's last attempt to do something with TK's and Kari's characters.

What fucking waste. At least TK also had his FUCK DARKNESS thing which also went nowhere.

they were too young to be thinking what you are probably thinking.

But then the scene doesn't make any sense

I love her expression. It's like she can't fathom a life without her brother

She can't fathom a life without her brother.

Probable idea behind the scene: Takeru's arc in Adventure was him becoming independent from Yamato and learning to stand up for himself, so when he sees Hikari still relying on Taichi after so many years he lashes out and comes out violent instead of encouraging.

Yea Forums's interpretation: Takeru is mad that he is being incest cucked.

Yes. The problem with Sorato is that Taichi and Sora had a lot of subtle things all over Adventure and Our War Game while Yamato and Sora's only relevant interaction ever was when she was taken by darkness in the Dark Masters arc. Besides that they had like 3 lines.

It really was unexpected.

02 was just a fucking waste. So many ideas, some from Adventure and even some good ones from 02 that just went nowhere. Plus they brought Takeru/Hikari over into the main cast and didn't do anything with them.

Yeah. Besides Ken redemption arc and the Kaiser arc climax it was all some schizo writing:

Dark Ocean: very interesting idea that would also explain Hikari's weird conection to light and homeostasis. Dropped and used as a convenient plot device later.

BlackWarGreymon and the Sovereigns: An "artificial" digimon with an existential crisis who threatens the stability of the Digital World, ok. In the end it's just filler for the kids to be beaten by him everytime untile they are saved by a deus ex machina. Then he dies a rather pointless death.

Demon Corps: Literally filler. Used to pathetically try to wrap the Dark Ocean and deal with the ridiculous forced drama of the 02 being reluctant to kill Digimon.

Digimon World Tour: Another filler. Introducing other Digidestined just like that seems kinda reckless and devalues the whole thing.

Oikawa and dark spore kids: Really good idea that was rushed as hell and was killed in favour of the Vamdemon plot tweest.

Then EPILOGUE. Omedetou! See you in 15 years for Tri!

I can only imagine the mess that must have been 02's production.

Then they had 15 years to theory craft something for Tri. and we ended up with pretty much nothing. At least we got some music and more fan art now I guess.

>Why people even assumed that they were gonna get together?
But Americans aren't people. Rookie mistake.

Now explain Hikari's look at the end

Everyone around the world thought they'd end up together, dumbass.

Tri made a huge fucking mess, we are worse than how we were I think.

>"Dear Sora, I'm sorry I made fun of your hair. I know you haven't been this mad at me since I forgot to tell you I threw up in your hat. You say you love thunderstorms, so what's a few raindrops between friends? Love, Tai."
>*sniffs* Stupid Tai

But we ended up with a self insert Mary Sue, so Mary Sue that even her Digimon has the same name.

Yeah, fucking americ-
>gets arrested for owning an illegal butter knife

When I reviewed the series I didn't see any romantic scenes between Taichi and Sora, but I saw more than one between Yamato and Sora. People must be blind not to see this.

The movie does not count because it was not written by the series' main writer and was written by a Sora/Taichi fan.

Why did Yea Forums assume that Ichigo will end up with Rukia?

>go to school
>get shot

On the one hand, Tai used to really worry about her since that time he took her out to play when she was sickly which made him want to compensate with more care. Currently I think he has relaxed a bit on that front and treats her as just a regularly caring elder brother. He seems to be aware at least that she seems to be possessive of him from that Valentines chocolate article.

Hikari on the other hand is a full on brocon.

Again, you didn't see it, but even the voice actors saw it.

It still just looks more to me like you're blinded by your hatred by a non-canon ship (why?) than you looking at it from a neutral perspective. If you were, you'd realize that Yamato and Sora don't have any intimate interactions worth a damn.
>BUT MUH CAVE SCENE-
Bullshit, you might as well say that that episode supports Joe x Sora just as much, because he was there and he helped her escape the darkness too.
>The movie does not count because it was not written by the series' main writer and was written by a Sora/Taichi fan.
Don't forget he also is a prominent figure in the industry and makes stuff outside of Digimon that isn't pure garbage. Please just admit that Sorato was terribly written and handled.

It's probably Jippy, in other words you're talking to a delusional Australian wall.

fuck I forgot about jippy
is she still batshit

>yamato on the other hand was a fucking chad
Yamato is a canon homosexual. But there are gay chads out there.

Mimi's shippable with just about any of the chosen childreb, but she ISN'T the slut of the series? Could she be any more based?

>*obligatory smug reminder*
That Sora's an ugly cunt that probably abandoned her "husband" and kids and died of a drug overdose after the epilogue.

Just like my lemons!

user you can't just blame America for everything.

Sora's frustrated and depressed upon finding out that her "boyfriend" is actually a gigantic homosexual, for her own childhood best friend no less, and now there's nobody for her hoe ass to rebound to. Pretty much what Loss was secretly about.

Of course. Anyone who thinks two 10 year olds standing next to each other is some kind of omen that they're going to fuck in their adulthood is eternally batshit. Anyone who writes fanfiction about Yamato's sexy arms and boasts in it about how he hit puberty as early as ten years old is eternally batshit. I ain't touching her blog with a thousand foot pole, I've seen enough.

>Mimi's shippable with just about any of the chosen children
Except Yamato. It's canon that they're the only two of the eight to have no communication between each other, and considering their complete polar opposite personalities it's no wonder.

>Could she be any more based?

I just think it's funny that Digifags like to pretend their shit is "mature" when Digimon is the only franchise I can think of that made a crackship canon. On top of that retarded epilogue that features hackier writing than a children's fairytale.
