Ever since I saw this lovely little post floating around, I felt the need to compile one of my favourite suffer plotpoints when it comes to Taichi’s character: His tendency to “shrivel” when he cannot get the band together. Or: Taichi Yagami’s love language is “quality time” and he suffers the most when he (unintentionally or intentionally) isolates himself from the others - and yet, he also has a tendency to fight the need to be with the others for their sake, displaying a sense of selflessness, even if it bothers him.
Let’s break this down, shall we:

(Note: I couldn't put Takeru/TK and Hikari/Kari in this picspam because there isn't enough room for them since this tumblr post has a limit of up to 30 images. )
These Promo cards featuring the Adventure (2020) cast Digimon evolved to their Ultimate/Mega level along with their human partners were released in BT-07 Next Adventure!
Each one of them has a [When Digivolving] If you have a Tamer in play ... effect that works for their respective colors play style.
Did y’all ever watch the digimon movie?
It’s one of my favourites, probably because it just oozes nostalgia
Also I just think these two are cute together :) TaiShiro/ KouTai fans, where y’all at?
On this year's Odaiba Memorial Day, let's remember the Digidestined as we loved them best, not as Tri and Adventure 2020 left them.
But in all seriousness, I'm excited to see how their adventure, and where Digimon as a whole will evolve next! Happy 24th anniversary wherever that date actually falls.
Digimon Adventure: Our War Game! (2000)
Vaporwave: the anime!! Well, kinda. I’m not sure what to call this aesthetic exactly, but it’s a vibe. Eerily similar to Hosoda’s other works. He sure likes his digital, CGI-animated worlds. I liked the mixture of his signature style and the more flashy looking title sequence. This all looks pretty modern and sleek for 2000.
Digimon introduced: Omnimon, Kuramon, Tsumemon, Keramon, Infermon, Diaboromon
DIGIMON ADVENTURE tri. x Our War Game ~ ~ DIRECT REFERENCES to past canon ~ IMPORTANT DIALOGUES ~ CALLBACKS ~ WORLDBUILDING + The Takaishi-Ishida Family (featuring side Taichi & Koushiro involvement) + Tri!Takeru picking up on Meiko’s (J.P.N) DIALECT (Tottori and Shimane can be considered ‘like’ the J.P.N ‘Countryside’, but they’re regions of J.P.N!)
“Dandan!” - Takeru’s Grandmother (speaking), in appreciation to Takeru helping her IN 2nd Digimon Adventure movie, “Our War Game”* [also often referred to as “Childrens’ War Game”] {“Bokura no War Game”}
{“Bokura no Mirai” / “Our Future”, Tri part 6, shows us…}
{Meiko is teaching Meicoomon how to SAY the phrase, “DANDAN”}
BONUS: (Continued scenes from “Our War Game”)
”You’re right. I should go bring in the laundry.” “DANDAN!” “DANDAN!” - Man to Woman, above (not mentioned in this older translation, but you can hear it SPOKEN)
My Commentary:
I have since determined “Our War Game” Yamato & Takeru are, in actuality, some of my favorite “forms” of Yamato & Takeru ever.
A LOT of people never (apparently!) caught these references, but yes, they’re actual things… (You CAN hear it spoken in the script, if you watch the J.P.N)
The implication since “Our War Game” is that “DANDAN” was a regional phrase / part of the spoken dialects there, of the J.P.N prefectures (regions/locations) featured in the series. Shimane is where Takeru + Yamato’s grandmother, “Kinu” is from, who is also referenced in the script (“Kinu-san’s grandchildren.”).
Tottori is where Meiko’s family was from, stated in “Ketsui” the 2nd part of Tri. This is why Takeru is the main one to pick up on Meiko’s dialect, and even comments directly on it.
It’s because he recognized it. Shimane and Tottori are both located in the Chūgoku region of Honshu. (Even Koushiro lightly {casually} refers to it as, “The one {prefecture} with the sand dunes!” about Tottori, helpfully, while Taichi, looking right AT Yamato, mentions, “Shimane’s the one with no computers.”)
“That was a million years ago!” - Yamato, shooting back (who had a lot of mis-adventures in Shimane during the 2nd Adventure movie in J.P.N, “Our War Game”)
In the mid-end half of “Kokuhaku, the 3rd film, we see a small segment of Meiko at her original home’s location:
(You can see how it looks traditional in the architecture of Meiko’s home.) {Compare to Takeru & Yamato’s locations, above!}
