Digimon Adventure x Digimon Adventure tri ~
featuring CHARACTER:
Koushiro[u] Izumi [Koushiro “Izzy” Izumi in US dub]
(+relationship with Mimi Tachikawa) [+Taichi Yagami]
+ IMPORTANT DIALOGUES (in Adventures & connecting to tri.)
+ CHARACTER/STORY PROGRESSION
also known as:
KOUSHIRO vs. COMMUNICATION
{further a.k.a: Communication Is Hard.}
{the following related quotes and information relates more specifically to Tri!Koushiro. There will be minimal spoilers for both his & Mimi’s roles in tri, without majorly spoiling the ending / plot surrounding Meiko.}
“I WISH THAT KOUSHIRO
would act more spoiled and unreasonable
instead of always keeping it inside”
(a refresher, of relevant Koushiro backstory potentials from
the novels written by Adventure director Kakudou!)
{I tend to refer to these passages a Lot
when discussing or analyzing Koushiros concepts for Reasons}:
[with translations thanks to Onkei;
as tumblr refuses to show posts with links in the tags nowadays,
please check in comments if you want the links to novels, thank you!]
- from the opening chapters; when lost on File Island
- from the part covering Adventure episode 28; a.k.a. “the Gate”:
“Before now, before he had come to the Digital World,
Koushiro had considered himself
an insignificant and WORTHLESS human being.”
{Note: it should be important to be kept in mind that Koushiro
within this point of the pre-series story [Novels, above]
is 10~ years old
and he’s been feeling those things
SINCE HE WAS A TINY CHILD [Ages 5~10].}
{“THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH
BEING [INTO/OBSESSED WITH] COMPUTERS!”}
[Note: in novels, it’s translated as “obsessed with”.]
BONUS:
{from later in the same sequence of Adventure #31, above}:
{from later on in Tri; Kyousei ending}:
THE BIGGEST BONUS:
tri. head Director Motonaga: As tri. is connected to 02, the entire theme of this work is depicting what the first generation of Chosen Children would be thinking about as they become adults.
Because the question of what kind of adults they’ll become has already been answered, we’re working on the problem of getting to that answer,
in a sort of reverse problem-solving.
(on Koushiro) As Koushiro begins to try changing his clothes in Part 1, he wants to become someone who can do something by himself.
- Otomedia, February 2016 (Digimon Adventure tri. interview)
[with translation credit thanks to website DigiLab Blog!]
“what they were learning in Tri.”: (KOUSHIRO):
“ After understanding about himself,
GAINS ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND OTHERS.
Learns to easily/OPENLY ACCEPT
OTHERS’ LOVE TOWARDS HIM .”
- from a post-Tri livestream interview given by Kazumasa Habu
(who, along with Kenji Watanabe and Mr. Maekawa, are members)
of the Digimon Staff that works with the LCD Virtual Pets
[with translation via Onkei]
{pictured: Habu holds up the planning sheet for Tri.}
MIMI - ‘selfishness’{-like quality, aka ‘Jikochu’ in Ketsui} disappears,
learns to be courteous towards others
[&] Learns not to expect others to be sweet on her
"just because she's a girl." {<- this includes Koushiro Izumi!}
learns that when it's necessary,
she'll have to get dirty herself and give in to things.
start of {Kokuhaku} / {Confession} [Movie #3]:
(earlier on, as well), {Ketsui}:
{Kyousei} / {Coexistence}; Movie #5:
{when she becomes stuck in a familiar-to-the-viewers setting
with Tentomon}:
[hey, wouldn’t you know,
she’s very clearly not upset with Koushiro anymore?]
{Kizuna}:
[the last we have of Original!Koushiro so far, from the credits;
he’s now the head of his own company,
having learnt how to UNDERSTAND others
while openly ACCEPTING LOVE towards HIMSELF,
from the people who CARE about him,
{and even simply learning how to communicate in TEAMS}]
(people who CARE ABOUT HM):
{ALSO KNOWN AS: HIS FRIENDS} & {HIS FAMILY}
“KNOWING NOTHING
is just a chance to learn new things, RIGHT?”
“PLEASE KEEP LEARNING NEW THINGS,
... AND ENJOYING IT.”
{Note: this post is part of a series discussing Koushiro
using canonical references and quotations
from the original Japanese version [and not the U.S. dub]
to attempt to explain his progressing storyline;

Digimon Adventure vs Digimon Adventure: [2020 Reboot] ~
vs. Digimon Adventure tri. Movie 3 [Kokuhaku (Confession)]
(Autistic Headcanon!)Koushiro Izumi Character Analysis +
~ Comparisons / Parallels (Japanese version)
+ Displaying Common Neurodivergent {+Autistic} Traits
{In General}
+ "Without” Accessibility/Accomodations vs "With”
{or, the difference of a 90s era laptop
and a 2020 high performing tablet}
(compare Adventure Episode 10 with Adventure 2020, above)
+ {Incorrectly} often Perceived as “ Cold ” (by Others)
+ Unintentionally Missing Social Cues
“Well, it’s true that Koushiro {“lacks charm”}...”
“But {Koushiro}’s not a {“bad” child}.”
“I think {Koushiro}’s a REALLY GOOD {Child}/{Person}.”
(notably with Mimi, + relevant in his early interactions with Meiko)
{to a lesser extent, this is ALSO NOTABLE in
Koushiro’s interactions with Taichi,
[ later Adventure + Our War Game
(2nd Adventure Movie in Japan) ]
arguably his closest friend }
“{ WHEN HE GETS CAUGHT UP IN SOMETHING },”
″HE JUST DOESN’T { NOTICE } { ANYTHING ELSE }.”
- Tentomon explaining to Mimi, Adv Ep 10
+ “Koushiro IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO HELP YOU !”:
“ABOUT KOUSHIRO...”
“He’s INVESTIGATING THIS WITH ALL HIS HEART...”
“ HE SAYS IT’S ALL HE CAN DO . ”
( after a long moment, Taichi sounds tense and insistent
as he’s asking Meiko to FORGIVE KOUSHIRO
after Koushiro was interrogating her earlier, missing more cues.
Mimi had once again herself been slightly upset
with Koushiro, and for Meiko’s sake. )
[ SO ... ] ”
- Digimon Adventure tri.: SOUSHITSU [‘LOSS’]
( Japanese version )
~ When Tentomon is stuck together with Mimi
in a familiar past location, { familiar to Mimi as well }
Mimi, who was previously frustrated with Koushiro,
{due to instances of him missing her + Meikos social cues}
then ends up saying the above,
encouraging Tentomon and recognizing Koushiro’s helpfulness.
( COMPARE to all of the above scenes with them all. )
“KOUSHIRO-KUN, HUH?
HE’D BE A GREAT HELP IF HE WERE HERE.”
- Mimi to Tentomon, about Koushiro
- Digimon Adventure: [2020 Reboot] Episode 03
~ Koushiro babbling on, completely missing Taichis’
social cue {standing stock still & shocked} until the last moment;
Koushiro then glances away,
avoiding eye contact / looking at Taichi.
DIGIMON ADVENTURE EPISODE 38 (Japanese version):
“ THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING INTO COMPUTERS ! ”
{“THAT TRAIT OF YOURS IS WHAT MAKES YOU
WHO YOU ARE.”}
“ YOU DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE YOURSELF FOR US . ”
BONUS:
{ I try to keep in mind "Our War Game”,
the 2nd released Adventure movie in Japan, was not directly written
by Hiroyuki Kakudou, the head director of Adventure + 02,
but considering various things such as Omegamon’s debut
from it is still often referenced and recognized by the staff ... }:
[ note: “This is no time for fights!” is being said by YAMATO. ]
[ and not much later on, during a highly dramatic battle moment... ]
Taichi: (after a long silence; apologizing to Koushiro) ... Sorry.
Koushiro: It’s fine.
(COMPARE to the above; later scene of
Tri!Taichi blatantly defending Koushiro to Meiko.)
{*NOTES: THIS IS A FAN META POST.
This is also my particular headcanon / analysis of Koushiro

Digimon Adventure Tri ~ Episode 11 / Movie 3
[Kokuhaku (Confession)] vs./Near-Direct Parallels with:
Digimon Adventure: (2020 Reboot anime) ~ Episode 14
featuring Koushiro(u) Izumi [“Koushiro ‘Izzy’ Izumi” in US]
+ Tentomon (tri) / Kabuterimon (2020)’s Pep Talks
“ Nani mo dekinai ! ” - 2020!Koushiro,
[“ I can’t do anything ! ”]
“ Nani mo dekinai ! ”
“ Nani mo dekinai... Dekinai, dekinai, dekinai !!! ”
[ “ I can’t do anything... ” ] [ “ I can’t, I can’t, I CAN’T !!! ”]
- Tri!Koushiro, with increasing distress leading into outright sobbing
BONUS/CONTINUED:
“ ... But, you’re different now. ”
“ Seems rough. ”
“ Of course ! Think of our situation!! ”
(Koushiro then hangs his head down) “ ... Sorry. ... ”
(Tentomon) “ I don’t want to see you like this. ” “ It’s painful. ”
(Koushiro) “ Tentomon . . . ”
(Tentomon lowers head, then raises it again)
“ There’s only one thing to do. ”
(Koushiro startles in response) --
(a few moments later) “ ... A Reboot ? ”
(Tentomon) “ We can’t do that on our own.
But if that’s what it comes to ...
We Digimon are already prepared.
(Koushiro turns back to his computer setup.
His shadow is on the screen)
“ A Reboot will fix all the issues ? ”
“ IF THERE’S HOPE ...
THEN I CAN MAKE A PLAN ! ”
“ Indeed, Koushiro-han.
There’s HOPE. There’s A CHANCE ! ”
“ ALWAYS reaching for HOPE and CHANCES ,
FRANTICALLY LEARNING , ”
“ THAT’S THE KOUSHIRO-HAN I KNOW ! ” -
Tri!Tentomon, thinking to himself, in the following dialogue

[ note: commenting/tagging respecfully/positively is ok ! ]
OP’s commentary:
... So are we as a fandom not going to talk about how DigiAdv 2020′s Episode 14′s resolution (or the START of the resolution) of Koushiro’s internal troubles / conflicts / problems is essentially
near-exactly the same as in TRI / KOKUHAKU ?
Or this?:
“ Is it wrong to WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ?”
- Koushiro in Adventure Episode 24 (Japanese)
OR THIS?:
from the Digimon Adventure novels written by Adv director Kakudou:
- from the chapter reflecting Adventure Episode 28,
the scene where Koushiro helps to figure out the cards
... Or am I going to have to keep making all these Koushiro canonical scenes comparisons posts MYSELF ???
^ - IZUMI FAMILY; Adventure Episode 38:
(Koushiro to Izumis)
“I tried to pretend I hadn’t heard anything.
I thought that by acting normal,
things would stay as they did before ...
But I couldn’t do it.
The more I tried to act as if things hadn’t changed,
the more [strange/weirder] it felt ...
In the end...
I grew drawn to my computer so I wouldn’t have to show anyone
MY TRUE SELF ...”
(closeup on Mr. Izumi, insistently):
“ There is NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING INTO COMPUTERS ! ”
(Koushiro looks up, surprised): “Father...”
(Mr. Izumi):
“That trait of yours is what MAKES YOU WHO YOU ARE. ”
+ more on “ You don’t have to change yourself for us ”
(at the link !)
2020!Koushiro, Episode 14:
“ I was so desperate to be EVERYONE’S HELP
ALL THE TIME ...
IT BECAME DEFAULT FOR ME
to always make judgements through this [TABLET].
I had forgotten about my OWN SELF,
... WHO WAS SITTING IN FRONT OF THE MONITOR. ”
“ Until you reminded me, KABUTERIMON. ”
“ EVEN MACHINES have days WHEN THEY DON’T FEEL WELL,
LIKE HUMANS.
When that happens,
you just have to reassess your abilities and overcome ! ”
- 2020!Kabuterimon to Koushiro

LATER /YEAH/ ] ( fOR NOW )
THIS AMV BE MOSTLY KOUSHIRO BUT ALSO
IMPLIED TAISHIROS + YOSHIE-MAMAAAAAAA
( I'M SORRY I still prefer her name as ' Yoshie ' jUST
I KNEW IT THAT WAY FOR /YEARS/ ..... )
[*Mrs Izumi’s name is more commonly listed/translated as: “Kae”*]
(*implied as she shares this first name with her Japanese voice actor)
[*however, the kanji can also be read as “Yoshie” and has at times been
Translated by other translators as such in the past]
LYRICS / TRANSLATION + FURTHER
Taishiro Ficverse-spoilery notes under the “read more” !
* This original song DOES NOT have an originating music video so this imagery was mainly compiled BY MY IDEAS /YEAH/
* There IS an old Fanmade video to the song
( bUT IT IS NOT OFFICIAL/SEMI-OFFICIAL BY ANY MEANS )
( unlike the well-known "KageDaze" fanmade video by Wannyanpuu )
[ who later became one of the official Kagepro animators ]
( her music video there was not official but there have been seeming throwbacks to her style in other official music videos at times ... )
* However the Gunjou Rain fanmade video DOES give a clear example of how the original song should be viewed for that canon (should you be interested)
* PSUEDO-character deaths implied in song hOWEVER
* IT'S MOSTLY VIA FLASHBACKS .....
IT'S A VERY PRETTY SONG I SWEAR .....
* The Psuedo-death does not involve the major character [officially] but it does involve a side/supporting character in original Kagepros series
* Psuedo-deaths involving Taishiro/KOUSHIRO ARE here as usual however
* part of these were, yes, again lifted from
my much earlier KageDaze / Red videos (specifically the “Red” edit clip)
* oK BUT
* THERE'S A GORGEOUS ELECTRIC GUITAR SOLO TOWARDS THE END
* Multiple parts of this thing DEFINITELY gave me trouble
( mainly : matching up lyrics to my ficverse while different story themes OTL )
* and also matching them to scenes that aren't filler
* later on I'll go and smooth it over + fix glitches but fOR NOW /YEAH/
* I THREW IN SOME 2020!TAISHIROS FOR MAXIMUM FEELS
( THANK YOU TOEI ) ....................................... ;;;;;; ;A;/
TRI/SPOILERS involve:
- aesthetics/background scenery from Ketsui and also Soushitsu

{ LYRICS }
[ Verses 1 ]
" I CAN'T SLEEP , " YOU wailed,
... so I read you a storybook ,
... As the raindrops KNOCKED on the roof. ...
When I put in the bookmark ,
and said I’ll read it again TOMORROW , ...
... You were already snoozing away . ...
... ( instrumental )
[ Verses 1-2 ]
You say you WANT TO GO OUT ,
but the reason I DON'T LET YOU ,
... ISN'T BECAUSE I " HATE YOU " AT ALL ... ...
... Yes, it’s about CONVENIENCE ---
BUT IT PAINS ME IN MY CHEST .
... So I’ve said " SORRY " AGAIN AND AGAIN . ...
[ Verses 1-3 ]
... And YOU can " L O V E " THIS SAME WORLD TODAY ,
With YOUR EYES ,
... and the WONDERFUL THINGS you do ...
[ Chorus 2 ]
DAYS COME AND GO ,
SEASONS PASS ,
I WIPE YOUR TEARS ,
... AND YOU S M I L E .
And FOR THAT ALONE ,
I want to HOLD ONTO YOU TIGHT
... Or so I FIND MYSELF THINKING ...
And if THE FUTURE is TO COME
" KNOCKING " ONE of THESE DAYS ,
I want to SEND THEM OFF
with REASSURANCE and a S M I L E . ...
... ( instrumental / interlude ) ...
[ Interlude Verses ]
... A SUDDEN FAREWELL to THE WORLD I'D GROWN SO FOND OF.
A FRIGHTENING FAREWELL , one which leaves you SO SAD .
I COULDN'T SAY
{ " I’m sorry . " } { " Gomen Ne " }
I W A N T E D TO SAY :
{ " I LOVE YOU . " } { " Aishiteru " }
...But " THE WORLD " is ALREADY [ " O P E N I N G " ] .
[ Final Verses ] + ... ( final instrumentals )
... As THE RAINDROPS “ KNOCK ” on THE ROOF ,
... YOU READ that [ " D I A R Y " ] of MINE .
... And the tears spilled. [ / The sound of the “RAIN” is “ KNOCKING ” . ]
... And the tears spilled. [ / The sound of the “RAIN” is “ KNOCKING ” . ]
... And the tears spilled. [ / The sound of the “RAIN” is “ KNOCKING ” . ]

[ / The sound of the “RAIN” is “ KNOCKING ” . ] *
( “ And the tears spilled. ... ” Repeats + Fade outs )
Translation Notes / Musings:
* - the more literal line is the former, ( “KNOCKING” in actual line )
‘ the sound of the ’ “ RAIN ” = “ Tears ”,
“ knocking ” implying them falling
{ FURTHER NOTES }
the fanmade music video for original themes
(/not/ official or by producers in any way):
[ however it's basically exactly what happens canon-wise /yup/ ]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGndj2aIEm4
spoilery notes RE: PSUEDO DEATHS / WARNINGS:
* the singer in the song is the mother of Mary in Kagepro who is a Medusa.
* "Don't make eye contact" / etc. re: "EYES" is all related to that plot in Kagepros
* in Repeatverse / this AMV this is all working qUITE different hOWEVER
* YOSHIE DOES PROBABLY TRY TO INTERFERE AT SOME POINTS
* PARTICULARLY IN VAMDEMON ARC y E A H
* BOTH IZUMIS PROBABLY ATTEMPT TO LATER ON AS WELL
* obviously they're doing this to PROTECT KOUSHIRO
re the middle portion verses:
* this is also more Kagepros relevant than 'verse relevant but I tried to match it up OTL
* basically Kagepros mother is re: above spoiler ALSO part Medusa.
She waits decades for her own "mother" to return
* I tried to manipulate these bits here with Koushiro and Yoshie / Izumis
* basically uh in some timelines MAYBE Yoshie ends up "waiting" in similar ways
* i.e. maybe the entire Izumi family could become affected aT POINTS .........
* POSSIBLY INVOLVING IZUMIS WE NEVER REALLY GOT TO SEE .........
* but yeah those lines are probably better read from Koushiro's POV before switching back to Yoshie
* i.e. maybe in some timelines it's KOUSHIRO waiting for YOSHIE to return etc
* in others Masami or Mr Izumi ends up going first to protect them BOTH and yEAH
* in fact it's probably Mr Izumi who first tries to intervene to protect them but
* Yoshie gets upset she's not able to do anything
* maybe there's timelines that alternate with this theme though
* a bunch of things in notes above kinda were vaguely ?? ?
included in the 'verse in this part: https://archiveofourown.org/works/14414505/chapters/40780040
( which was ALSO inspired by the same song uh ..... yup )
^ I included A BUNCH OF REFERENCE LINKS ABOVE
to some of my past posts / Koushiro caps and Japanese version references
so you can get a better idea of the themes
+ Koushiro character develoment / introspections all being presented here
+ AND HOW TRI’S KOUSHIRO STORYLINE DIRECTLY TIES IN
TO EVERYTHING CONNECTED/PRESENTED TO THE ORIGINAL
ADVENTURE / 02 STORYLINE SCENES WITH YOSHIE {/KAE}
AND KOUSHIRO’S TENDENCY TO
“Speak formally” * and how he
IMPROVES THROUGHOUT 02/TRI
(I hope my implications are coming through?!???)
( * Since apparently the wider Western / US / English dub fandom tends to COMPLETELY not understand Japanese version!Koushiro’s implied / extended storyline re: him speaking formally most of the time
[also in relation to his use of Japanese honorifics] +
{his insisting use of “ Taichi-san” may ALSO be relevant} and how this all connects to HIS ADOPTION STORYLINE even though . KOUSHIRO’S STORY is ... REALLY NOT that hard to understand you guys COME ON... ... ;;)
* SOMEDAY
* SOMEDAY I’LL BE ABLE TO COMPILE ALL THIS
KOUSHIRO + IZUMI FAMILY INTROSPECTIONS INTO A
* ACTUALLY COHESIVE ANALYSIS
* but today is not that day so HAVE THIS AMV INSTEAD ;A;/
* A RELEVANT AND VERY GOOD KOUSHIRO META POST
( not by me but RELEVANT TO THESE THOUGHTS / THEMES )
