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;
