Peeps may yell at me for saying this, but…

Daisuke never fit the role as “leader” (or even, “protagonist”) like a lot of people (including me in the past) tend to make it such a big deal.

Even if he’s counted as 02’s main protag and is the 02 series rep in most of the media… Daisuke as a character does not exactly fit that role.

Well, to explain my point. I’d like you to meet another character whose role in the story is also like Daisuke’s, even if he’s the main character of this game’s interquel: Amasawa Keisuke from Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Hacker’s Memory.

Unlike the Aiba Protag (which is supposed to be our insert in-game), Keisuke is depicted as some ordinary person dragged into a big cause by the sheer fact he had his whole identity stolen by a bad guy (the hacker K) and said person had committed crimes with his face. Then, Keisuke ends up involved with the hacker team Hudie and the whole side-story of the Cyber Sleuth universe, exploring and expanding the hackers and their whole community.

(I know, this whole description is very vague and may not be totally right, but there’s still people playing this game and i love it so much to promote it a ton… So i’d prefer to avoid spoiling it!!)

With this in mind, you can bring role parallels between Daisuke and Keisuke:

• Daisuke involvement with the digimon was thanks to being one of the kidnapped victims from Odaiba Fog incident from Aug 3rd 1999 (so his first contact with the digimon was not very positive like Taichi’s…)
• Daisuke does not seem to see himself as anything than an ordinary kid, even when he has a digimon (the “Chosen Child” status does not affect him like it did to Ken in the very first arc – which is obviously a contrast between both characters)
• Daisuke also never imposed the “leader” role to anyone, and would rather let others take the position and follow their lead immediately (most of the 02 material had this, apparently. And he would only break rules if something more important to himself was in question. But the thing is, Daisuke never disobeys his seniors’ orders most of the time.)
• He does not work well under pressure, which means giving him a BIG IMPORTANT ROLE as such would rather make him feel overwhelmed than honored or excited for it.

This is an important thing, because Daisuke and Taichi were/are usually being compared to each other and having people claim which one is the best when actually both have different roles in their own stories, and if you put Adv + 02 + recent new stuff together, you will still see the big difference between their stories and how they approach the main conflict/problem in them.

This is also depicted in the OG Adventure series’ epilogue: While Taichi goes into a biggest important role as the Ambassador for the Digital World, Daisuke’s whole journey ends as him recently turning a successful CEO for his own ramen shop chain around the world – and there’s a bit more about Daisuke: he still prefers to carry his iconic ramen cart around the world BECAUSE HE REALLY LIKES IT, so he does not like to sit in a room and just watch people doing the job. He really wants to be part of it, to share joy through something he’s deeply passionate about.

Ni, jokingly again: How many life crises does Yagami Taichi have to go through to have Daisuke chime in and lend him the goggles to show emotional support?

Here I am, imagining Rui-kun vs Daisuke Kaiser and this is for me and me only.

“Who’s Daisuke Kaiser??”

Happy MenAS Day, or as I love to call it, the Daisuke Kaiser Day.

beginningobserver:

Happy Valentine’s Day, Daisuke and Rui-kun really were into each other and i’ll fite for them.

Yeah i get it my OTP is niche but Ohwada Rui spent the entire movie sulking and frowning until a certain scene hit and the first person to make him smile is Motomiya Daisuke.

And i think this is what made me melt in the theater and turn into a DaiLui shipper. Daisuke really does this to people.

There’s no heterosexual explanation to this scene.

ALSO:

Daisuke REALLY was worried about him, and wanting everyone to understand Rui’s feelings, he kept believing in Rui and wanting to help the sad potato so bad and this is very Daisuke of him.

I love this movie, Rui-kun, Daisuke and especially their relationship thru this movie. It’s indeed my biggest OTP from now on.

I need to make more stuff with them. I need to keep spreading DaiLui Love in the universe!

DID YOU THINK I’D FORGET ABOUT THIS DAY, YOU SILLY INSECTS?!

I’M BACK AND I ORDER YOU TO…

Erm…

Have a nice day? Don’t eat too much chocolate or sweets. It’s unhealthy. Don’t forget to give your partner a good time, help them out and be there for them.

Really.
In the hard times, you have to be strong, and support your beloved ones. Love is essential to beat obstacles, be it platonic or romantic or familly.

… I hope Ken don’t find out I’m using this outfit again… 💧

I didn’t know Daisuke-kun has an evil side…

Though it’s just showing that caring side he always has… 💧

I’ll admit what made inspired doing my own take was seeing @hexg3-arts.bsky.social ’s V-mon X-antibody going around, it’s very cute!!

(i tried to make mine cute too!! 💦)

kind got a mix of XV-mon in this… and some V-dramon and i can’t stop thinking about Knuckles for some reason 🫠

legit improvement from May 2013 i think…

Ni’s digi hot take about DSB and how Paildramon-Imperialdramon Jogress worked in-movie:

• Jogress only works if Tailmon is around
• Daisuke and Ken were going back to Odaiba, i think? They met at the bay, right…?
• Odaiba is HELLA SMALL
• Therefore the conclusion is that Tailmon’s holy power can cover the area pretty well, like a 3G-4G phone signal coverage.

post-02 Tailmon has been a walking Jogress radio signal transmissor for any occasion they needed Jogress.

Including to call for Takeru and Patamon’s attention to make them find the group in the middle of the crowd during the Tokyo Grand Bay Fireworks Festival.

How to corrupt Daisuke and give him a dark evolution
(and why ep 22 did not need one at all)

Ni has just watched Kamen Rider Geats, and this subject just came into my mind because my favorite character in this series so far has all the traits Daisuke has, and he’s even a walking-mess unlucky kid who gets dragged into a whole chaotic series of events which ends up changing his character DRASTICALLY after a point of the series.

No Geats spoilers mentioned here. Don’t worry.
We’re going to pick our favorite specimen Motomiya Daisuke and study how to apply a corruption arc on his portrayal.

This is a spiritual sequel of this post, which explores Daisuke’s weaknesses and how you can exploit them to break and beat him. This is an important step, because if you want to turn a character who canonically lacks malice, you need to understand his weaknesses and then go from there.

i really find funny that the Toei-Bandai staff chose Feb 2nd to be 02 Day out of nowhere in 2020 and then everyone just rolled with it from now on

and it’s a very 02-branded thing to me lol
