I finally watched Digimon Adventure Tri.


I could hardly wait since the day it was announced.

I literally squealed in excitement when the logo first appeared on screen.

I teared up when Agumon appeared, reacting to Taichi's digivice.

I bawled my eyes out and tried to stop sniffing my crying nose in the middle of my tapioca chips when Agumon evolved to Greymon on-screen, with Brave Heart playing as the background music.


It. Was. So. Good.




I have never cried for anything that I watch on screen before. There was only a time when I first and last cried watching something on the screen.


That was during the last scene of Digimon Adventure, when the chosen children were leaving from the digital world, their digimon partners saying good bye.


Until I watched Tri.




I guess that was 99% my nostalgia speaking.


Seeing something familiar that has changed somehow,
Looking at the characters you really relate and look up to grew up, and changed.


Which reminds me what I came to originally write about here.




Watching Adventure and Adventure 02, I remember admiring all the chosen children in their own ways,
But I couldn't really figure out who I can relate the most to.
My guess was either Taichi and/or Jo.


Taichi, for obvious reasons. I was probably as loud, rash, and impulsive as he usually was in the series. But then he is someone I would really look up to in real life, as a leader of the pack.

Jo, because of his bouts of nervous breakdown in situations just like how I would too, and simply because I had also wanted to go to med school, just like he did.




After watching Tri, though, I realised that my personalities (and how they have changed over time) resonate the most with Taichi's.

When Yamato pointed out how Taichi is no longer as fiery and headstrong as he was in the face of adversity, and when Taichi himself admitted that he thinks a lot more about the things he does (and is about to do),

I couldn't help but relate right away.

I used to be someone who would dive into trouble first, and then think and make up the solution along the way.

But as I get older, and as I become more conscious about how the things I do can affect more than just myself,

I start to think more about consequences, responsibilities, and things like that. Put simply, I've gotten to the other side of the spectrum.

I think much, much more before I do things.




Like Taichi now, I too should learn to be less hesitant about things.
And be able to discern when to move and when to stay put.
Even if I have to choose the lesser of the two (or more) evils in the process.







Heh, I can hardly wait for the second movie in April 2016 now.
