I just wanna talk about the friendship dynamic of the 02 gang in both dub and sub

When I first watched it in the dub I found it odd how their friendship was not really much of a friendship, it felt odd how they exaggerated their personalities and even trash Daisuke for no reason, to be honest their friendship didn’t even feel like a friendship. In all honesty I felt like the only one who actually liked Daisuke for who he was in the dub was Ken :/

But the sub, it felt like an actual friendship, especially with the small banter here and there but not over the top like the dub and they actually got along nicely with one another. The “love triangle” between Daisuke, Takeru and Hikari felt more ambiguous and it wasn’t both Takeru and Hikari being jerks about Daisuke’s feelings like how the dub made them, it felt refreshing to see after having the disappointment of watching the 02 dub.

Rewatching the first few episodes of 02 in the sub makes me realize how much I fucking hate their dub voices 😭

In the sub Takeru's voice is very nice, I like it a lot and I cannot stand listening to Takeru's dubbed voice when rewatching a clip on YouTube of it, and I don't even like Takeru

Absolutely love Daisuke's subbed voice, his dubbed voice is okay but I absolutely hated how they trashed his character in the dub

Iori had a cute voice and fitted how he was the youngest there instead of the dubbed version where it sounded very forced to sound like a young kid and failing at it, it sounded as if he constantly had smoke in his throat in the dub

Miyako, I have mixed feelings but I already like her voice better than I did in the dub, I actually hated how they handled her character in the dub so hopefully the sub will give me something to enjoy about Miyako

Also have mixed feelings for Hikari since I don't like what they did with her in 02(in my opinion she was better in Adventure) but her voice is cute

Ken(or the Kaiser in this case since I haven't gotten far enough to get to the normal Ken), I really liked it but imma wait to see if I still like it or nah cause I’m feeling indecisive if I like it or not rn

Also as an honorable mention, absolutely LOVED Tailmon's voice, it really gave off a wise mature mentor vibe to it which really fits Tailmon compared to the voice they gave Gatomon. It also really made sense considering what happened in her past, especially the abuse she went through with Vamdemon

Can anybody explain Koumi to me?

Look I love Digimon in fact Izzy, and Joe are both my favorites, but from a pure story aspect Joe should end up with Mimi. Think about it Joe was assigned as her personal camp counselor, he stuck by her side during the dark masters arc when she didn't want to fight, she gave her some quote unquote love in the forn of seed, and even in the movie the dub made it so he'd give her a valentine. In Tri they share a deep emotional moment, and even Mega evolve together Meanwhile Izzy.... he thinks she's hot in tri. He was annoyed by her during return of diaboromon. Yeah ,thats about it. Explain why it is so populare, please?

Just my boy Joe Kido and his special lady

So nice to see Joe go on a double date mission with his best friend

Gommamon(Plesiomon as Mega form) and Tentomon

Reblog with your Digimon partner(s)

It can be more than one (but, don’t go crazy like 3,4 max)

They can be at any level

They can be popular or obscure. Seen on the shows/movies or not.
