So the return of Digimon Adventure got me thinking, in both the original Adventure, and sequel 02, the chosen children embodied traits: Courage (Taichi); Friendship (Yamato); Love (Sora); Knowledge (Koushiro); Honesty (Jou); Purity (Mimi); Hope (Takeru); Light (Hikari); Daisuke, Miyako and Iori were each a mixture of two embodiments, whilst the embodiment of Kindness was either Ken and/or Osamu (his brother), -the details escape me at the moment-!

 

So, what about later series like Tamers, Frontier, Savers and Xros Wars, although crests do not play into those series, which characters do you think embody those crests?

 

Did plan to try and work it all out (by re-watching Tamers through to Xros Wars II), but I haven't got round to doing so yet! I do have some ideas, but think they might change when I get round to watching those episodes!

 

Takato Masuda embodies Courage, Jenrya Lee embodies Knowledge, Ruki Makino embodies Love, Juri Katou embodies Kindness, Ryo Akiyama embodies Light, Hirokazu Shioda embodies Friendship, Kenta Kitagawa embodies Purity, Shiuchon Lee embodies Hope, with Ai and Mako embodying Honesty!

 

I'm sure in a couple of my choices (Takato, Ruki, Juri and Shiuchon), however I'm not sure about some of my other choices, although will list my reasons!

 

It would probably help if I'd re-watched Adventure (and 02) first, in order to set "standards", but oh well, I've made the best of what I've got!

 

[spoiler=Crest Reasons]

• Takato Masuda - although he loves Digimon, and a desire (Wonderswan Digimental) to have one at the beginning of the series, it seems that what triggers most of Guilmon's evolution seems to be Takato's courage, however Ultimate seems to be triggered by friendship;
  
• Jenrya Lee - he serves as a mentor to Takato in the beginning, with his knowledge of card combinations, and the knowledge that he is not alone, unlocks evolution to Ultimate;
   
  
• Ruki Makino - although she displays courage, or rather guts (Wonderswan Digimental), it seems that what triggers Renamon's evolution is the love or friendship between Ruki and Renamon, however the evolution to Ultimate seems to be faith (Honesty), or hope;
  
• Juri Katou - she displays kindness, looking out for friends (such as reminding Takato if he doesn't get back to work, he'll get in trouble), as well as expressing concern when Leomon is injured, resulting in her becoming his Tamer;
  
• Ryo Akiyama - he is chosen as the saviour or light of the Adventure/02 universe (although obviously not embodying Light, as Hikari Yagami embodied Light), given he's "groomed" to be the one to defeat Milleniumon;
   
  
• Hirokazu Shioda - his concern for Andromon/Guardromon results in him becoming a Tamer, and has a strong friendship with Takato resulted in him helping Takato smuggle Guilmon on the camping trip;
   
  
• Kenta Kitagawa - he has the ability to understand MarineAngemon, which could be considered a "child-like" ability to understand non-human noises;
   
  
• Shiuchon Lee - she usually causes Lopmon to evolve into Andiramon in a hope, or desire to help out her fellow Tamers;
   
  
• Ai and Mako - due to Impmon's faith in them, he is able to evolve into Beelzebubmon Blast Mode!
  

 

 

 

[spoiler=Alternatives (Monox D. I-Fly)]

Alternatives (Monox D. I-Fly):

• Takato Masuda - Love
  
• Jenrya Lee - Knowledge
  
• Ruki Makino - Courage
  
• Juri Katou - Kindness
  
• Ryo Akiyama - Reliability
  
• Kazu Shioda - Friendship
  
• Kenta Kitagawa - Hope
  
• Shiuchon Lee - Light
  
• Ai and Makoto - Purity
  

 

 

 

[spoiler=Lost Tamers]

Anyone notice that Juri's friend Ayaka features in the opening animation? She features in middle opening, far left, kinda falls off the screen; shame the series was before widescreen became standard!

 

Was this hinting Ayaka was to be a Tamer, before being dropped for Kenta, or lazy character design on someone's part?

 

Was Ayaka's character design created for the opening or series (which ever was storyboarded first, probably the series), and then re-used in the series or opening (which ever was storyboarded after), but with no link between the two instances?

 

Actually looking at the other children that feature in that same scene, I think Miki and the other two of Juri's friends are also present, but could be wrong!

 

However, unlike Ayaka, who has a stripy top, which makes her quite unique, as a grey silhouette, the others have plain clothing, which doesn't make them identifiable as grey silhouettes!

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Ryo Akiyama Conundrum]

As mentioned above, I put that I see Ryo Akiyama embodies Light, which I base on the WonderSwan games, however question is, should Ryo's Adventure/02 "purpose" serve as a factor in the choosing of his crest embodiment in Tamers?

 

 

 

 

 

Resumed a re-watch of Frontier that I had on hold for a while, and have come to new opinions as to embodiments for some of the characters, a new re-watch will allow me new opinions or re-affirmations on some of the other characters, but won't be doing that right now!

 

Still for the new opinions, they are about Izumi Orimoto, and Junpei Shibayama; Izumi embodies Honesty, whilst Junpei embodies Friendship!

 

[spoiler=Crest Reasons]

• Takuya Kanbara - Courage, he even has an episode where he losses and regains his courage, similar to Taichi in Adventure;
  
• Kouji Minamoto - Light, although this could be based on the fact that he is the Warrior of Light;
  
• Junpei Shibayama - Friendship, although he is a very extroverted person, he has difficulty making true friends;
  
• Izumi Orimoto - Honesty, alienated by her time in Italy, she finds it difficult for people to see the real her;
  
• Tomoki Himi - Purity, wants to believe the good in people (and Digimon);
  
• Kouichi Kimura - Kindness, possibly based on Ken (02), corrupted by darkness, but also wants to find his brother, for their mother!
  

Alternatives (Monox D. I-Fly):

• Junpei Shibayama - Friendship
  

 

 

 

Given the smaller "crew" in Tamers, do we extend it to include Katsuharu, Teppei, Chiaki and Teruo (the kids that remained in the digital world, and watched over by Angemon)?

 

Actually when they were introduced, I was expecting them to be part of the group, with the water, steel, wood and earth spirits to transfer to their mobile phones, turning them into Digivices! Alternatively, do we include Ranamon, Mercurymon, Arbormon and Grumblemon as embodiments for crests instead?

 

Whilst I see the Ranamon, Mercurymon, Arbormon and Grumblemon that appeared as "incomplete" manifestations, similar to Takuya as Flamemon, but looking at Digimon wikia, evidently that's not the case!

 

Masaru Daimon embodies Friendship, Tohma H. Norstein embodies Love, Yoshino Fujieda embodies Courage, Ikuto Noguchi embodies Honesty, Chika Daimon embodies Kindness, Megumi Shirokawa embodies Light, Miki Kurosaki embodies Darkness, Kouki Tsubasa embodies Desire, Nanami embodies Knowledge, and Ivan embodies Hope!

 

I'm sure in a couple of my choices (Masaru, Tohma, Yoshino and Ikuto), however I'm not sure about some of my other choices, although will list my reasons!

 

The problem is that I base the embodiments on what appears to trigger evolution, and not all evolutions in this series appear to be triggered by an embodiment, they just happen!

 

[spoiler=Crest Reasons]

• Masaru Daimon - Friendship, although most of the time his Digisoul is awoken by hitting an enemy, there are times where his Digisoul is awoken by his friendship with Agumon;
   
  
• Tohma H. Norstein - Love, new evolutions appear to be awoken by his love, Perfect was unlocked when MetalPhantomon was messing with his memories of his mother, whilst Ultimate was unlocked when Relina was in danger;
  
• Yoshino Fujieda - Courage, although it is damped by her heart and Lalamon's song combine as courage (or that's what Lilamon said when she evolved), however she also displays courage when she attacks Gizamon XT with a barrel, whilst defending ElDoradimon;
  
• Ikuto Noguchi - Honesty, the evolution to Perfect is unlocked when he comes to the realisation that he a Human with a Digimon heart;
  
• Chika Daimon - Kindness, when Piyomon decides to (re-)fight Craniumon, she decides Piyomon shouldn't fight alone, also earlier when Piyomon is turned back into an egg, saved from berserk mode, she is happy;
  
• Megumi Shirokawa - Light, given that she always works in partnership with Miki, they could have complementary crest;
  
• Miki Kurosaki - Darkness, given she always works in partnership with Megumi, they could have complementary crests;
  
• Kouki Tsubasa - Desire, he seems to be only driven by a desire to fight, usually against Masaru;
  
• Nanami - Knowledge, she appears to find her intelligence a curse, bored by life, looking for things that may interest her, she is also able to come up with counter-strategies against Tohma;
  
• Ivan - Hope, he hopes to better provide for his siblings, so does whatever he can!
  

 

 

 

[spoiler=Character Eligibility]

Three other characters could be considered, such as Rentarou Satsuma, Hiroshi Yushima and Suguru Daimon, although from the Crests left, that only leaves Purity, Miracles, Destiny and Vanity!

 

Given that they're all part of the previous Digital World Exploration Team, I'm tempted to "exclude" them on this basis, however I feel that Suguru could embody Miracles or Destiny!

 

Actually thought of someone else, Kurata, who could possibly embody Vanity!

 

As Nanami, Ivan and Kouki are "villains", should they be "excluded"? I wouldn't say because they're artificial "chosen children", because in some instances (for some series), artificial can still be "as real" as the real deal!

 

As mentioned, I base the crest embodiments on evolutionary triggers, but like with some others, Nanami, Ivan and Kouki don't appear to have triggers, so whilst I've put Knowledge for Nanami, it's not an evolutionary trigger, but a trait she exhibits!

 

An alternate crest suggestion would be based on Adventure/02, and how Light and Hope "complement" each other, so whilst Megumi will still embody Light, but Miki will embody Hope instead, however this will then have to change Chika to Purity, and Ivan to Kindess!

 

 

 

[spoiler=Xros Wars Crests]

 

• Taiki Kudo - Reliability, whatever you need, an extra player in basketball, football, or world saviour, he's your man;

• Nene Amano - Knowledge, never goes into battle without knowing her opponent's strengths and weaknesses;

• Kiriha Aonuma - Love, Deckerdramon said so, and who are we to argue with a giant crocodile Digimon;

• Akari Hinamoto - Courage, Omegamon said, who're we to argue with a WarGreymon/MetalGarurumon Jogress;

• Zenjirou Tsurugi - Friendship, Omegamon also called this one too;

• Yuu Amano - Kindness, hates fragility of things, so easily tricked into believing the Digital World is just a game;

• Tagiru Akashi - Hope, always chasing after Taiki in hope of surpassing him;

• Ryouma Mogami - Desire, has been chasing after Taiki as well, longer than Tagiru;

• Ren Tobari - ask me again later;

• Suzu Airu - Purity, may not be pure in a good natured sense, but has childish mentality to obtaining cute Digimon!

 

 

Given that Hideaki Mashimo features in the opening (not much however), should he be included in the list? What about the other Allied Hunters (Mizuki -partnered with Submarimon-, or Kiichi Funabashi), or Ken's Team (Ken, Haruki and Nobiru -partnered with ShimaUmimon, Witchmon and Allomon, respectively)?

 

[spoiler=Considerations]

Other Characters

Should we also include characters like Yuma Kagura (from tie-in game, World Data Squad), or Meiko Mochidzuki (new chosen child in -tri-)? However if we do that, are we opening the floor which chosen children embody which crests for all games, like Digimon Story: Lost Evolution, and Digimon Re-Digitise?

 

Other Crests

Should we also look to the Wonderswan games for more crests? Inferring that if there are Digimentals of Desire, Darkness, Guts and Vanity, there are quite possibly crests too, and on the subject of inferring, also infer that there are crests of Miracles and Destiny, given there are Digimentals to those too?

 

I ask this as, after some thought, looking at the remaining "original" nine crests, couldn't think what would be appropriate for Ryouma, so decided to make use of the possibility there could be a crest of Desire!

 

So same as, should we include tie-in game, movie or new characters, should we include crests outside the original nine, or stay with nine, just re-assess the lists, and ensure the lists only go up to a maximum of nine chosen children?

 

I have other chosen children who I think might embody a Wonderswan "crest" more than one of the original nine:

• Suzu Airu - although I put Purity, in that she had "childish" methods of obtaining cute Digimon, perhaps Vanity might be a better choice, her Vanity in collecting only cute Digimon;
  
• Kouichi Kimura - similarly how I put Kouji for the embodiment of Light, and he's the Warrior of Light, should Kouichi be the embodiment of Darkness, given he's the Warrior of Darkness?
  

Double Crest Embodiment

As you can probably tell, I'm referring to "Double Spirit Evolution" from Frontier, I can just hear the music playing in my head, though bizarrely, I'm hearing Izumi or Tomoki's voice saying the line, even though they never did, though I would have liked to see JetSylphimon animated!

 

Anyway, what I'm gonna say here, is that given the Frontier "crew" is so low on numbers, rather than increasing the numbers in its rank, we could double up some crest embodiments, similar to 02, there are six chosen children, and as with 02, we know some of the chosen children embodied multiple crests, through the Digimentals, whilst others only embodied one (Hikaru, Takeru and Ken), the latter children were also established elsewhere such as the previous series or Wonderswan games!

 

Still, unlike 02, none of the chosen children have been previously established elsewhere, so seems unfair to "discriminate", between the children, although Digimon does make a habit of this (given Digimon of certain children evolve more than others, or how even though Omegamon, Imperialdramon and Susanoomon are a "partnership" of two children, only one child is considered the Hero of their world - finally got round to finishing Xros Wars II)!

 

Alternatively, we could Triple Up, so similar to how Takuya and Kouji are the only ones who can (currently) perfom Double Spirit Evolutions, they will have multiple crest embodiments, rather than just one!

 

 

 

I know the forum is a shadow of its former self, but thought I'd put the question out there, see what people think, and maybe at somepoint, I'll re-weigh in with my ideas, when I've re-watched all episodes!

 

Also who knows, perhaps I'll finally finish that avatar I started editting when the original forum was online, so if you've not guessed already, or see me mention it in a previous post, I've "returned" from a long absence, one that I hadn't planned on, and then the forum went down, but didn't see the need to join the new forum, but -tri- turned up in its "animeforum" van enticing me with sweets, how could I say "no" ?

 

EDIT1: Thought I'd inject a bit of life into the post, so added some colours and images, although they might possibly change! I've also added Monox D I-Fly's suggestions in, as alternatives (see Tamers and Frontier "buttons")!

 

EDIT2: Probably guessed, but colours for chosen children relate to their Digivice, some sense also true for Adventure chosen children as well, as their device changes colour when higher evolution activated!

 

EDIT3: To make the post shorter, put some of it into "spoiler tags", also continued with some edits I tried to make last week, but my browser had decided when I backspaced to correct a mistake, what I "really" meant was to exit editing altogether!

 

EDIT4: Added considerations: do we include tie-in game, movie and new characters, or crests outside the original "nine"?

 

EDIT5: Added some more to considerations, corrected some spelling mistakes, deleted a post, when clicked reply rather than edit, and used smaller image files for series titles!

[Monox D. I-Fly]

My opinion about Tamers:

• Takato Masuda - Love
  
• Jenrya Lee - Knowledge
  
• Ruki Makino - Courage
  
• Juri Katou - Kindness
  
• Ryo Akimaya - Reliability
  
• Kazu Shioda - Friendship
  
• Kenta Kitagawa - Kindness
   
  
• Shiuchon Lee - Light
  
• Ai and Makoto - Purity
  

[senshikoi]

Interesting, though I think I'd have put Ruki as the embodiment of Love, not just because of her t-shirt, but relationship with mother, grandmother and father, which would put Takato as the embodiment of Courage, and whilst he does have a dark evolution episode, like Taichi does, I don't think I would put him as the embodiment of Courage, still, this is based off your post, I will have to re-watch the series at somepoint to form my opinion on the subject !

 

I notice you have Kindness twice, but then, there are nine Tamers, compared to the eight chosen children from Adventure, so makes sense there's have a double, we can open up the floor a bit more, to include the possibility that there were crests of Miracles and Destiny, and if we include the Wonderswan exclusive Digimentals, there are crests of Darkness, Desire, Guts and Vanity!

 

Was your post because I hadn't put anything down for Tamers, or was Tamers the only one you had an opinion for?

[Monox D. I-Fly]

Oops, right. Kenta's should have been Hope since he hoped so much to own a Digimon and got it the last, though it was worth it that what he got as an Angemon subspecies Ultimate level.

 

My post was because you hadn't put anything for Tamers. In fact, Tamers is my least favorite season if we count Hunter is the same season as Xros Wars.

[senshikoi]

Oh yeah, there were nine crests, so would have been enough to go around - didn't need to go breaking out the Golden Digimentals or Wonderswan ones! Yeah, it is pretty crazy he has an ultimate, but then Hikari has a Digimon that maintains a high level form, rather than the usual Rookie or In-Training form!

 

Ah right, I think Tamers might have been my favourite series, still not finished Hunter (had a Digimon-athon from Adventure to Xros Wars, so by the time I got halfway through Hunter, wanted a break), I class it as a separate series, but Digimon wikia groups it together with Xros Wars!

 

Was re-watching Tamers movies, and can see what you mean about Ruki in relation to Courage, although I was also reading that Chiaki J. Konaka wasn't consulted on Ruki's character for second movie, which might explain continuity errors in the character, however Konaka also praised the movie for showing a side of Ruki's family not previously explored!

 

The bit about Konaka wasn't me saying that she only seemed Courageous in the movie, more it might have been the Love embodiment I feel she has, might be movie based, as I said, will have to re-watch Tamers, but also Frontier, Savers, Xros Wars and Xros Wars II, as although I've put something down for the other series, I'd like to check my decisions do not change!

 

So, think you might put your opinions down for the other series? This thread was meant to be as much anyone's opinion as to embodiments of crests, as well as my own!

[Monox D. I-Fly]

I did consider Light for Kenta, but then I remembered that Shiuchon partnered with a Deva, that's why I chose her to bear the Crest of Light instead.

 

For Frontier, I think Junpei's should be Friendship.

[ssjup81]

@senshikoi Interesting thread, but in regards to Izumi from Frontier, her upbringing wasn't particularly strange, but her character did represent a social issue here in Japan for some kids (and even adults) who return to Japan after living overseas. Those types might get bullied or discriminated against by peers because they don't "act Japanese".

Ah yes, I can see that too!

Thanks, true, I mean more "unusual" than strange, which was why I put "strange", but it could have meant anything I guess, but basically I was referring to what you mentioned!

[ssjup81]

Oh, for the 02 kids, if I could give them Crest Traits, they would be....

 

Daisuke: Miracles (ok, I'm cheating lol)

 

Miyako: Hm, no idea... ^^

 

Iori: Honor or wisdom.

[senshikoi]

Cheat away ! Made some changes to my post since posting it, kinda started when Mono D. I-Fly accidentally put Kindness down twice for his Tamers Crests suggestions, that I thought we might have to look extend by inferrence, that the Golden and Wonderswan Digimentals have crest equivalents!

 

I've ended up already made one chosen children the embodiment of a Wonderswan "crest" (expand "Xros Wars Crests" tag), and considered whether to make other chosen children the embodiment of alternate crests outside the "nine" (expand "Considerations" tag)!

 

When you say Honour, do you mean Honesty? The original name for the Crest of Reliability? I initially couldn't remember the original name for Reliability when I created the thread, hence leaving it as Reliability, whereas, I changed Sincerity to Purity!

 

In relation to the 02 chosen children, they already "embody" crests, given they have Digimentals with crests on them, so Daisuke apparently is the embodiment of Courage and Friendship, Miyako is the embodiment of Love and Purity, whilst Iori is the embodiment of Knowledge and Honesty!

 

Although we could consider which of the two crests, they embody more!

 

I might change Reliability for Honesty, but I might have to study the various means of Honesty, to ensure the meaning still fit the choices I've made; looking at my choices, it looks like I'd have to review them, although as I said, I will probably consult a Dictionary first, unless I decide to keep it as Reliability!

[ssjup81]

When you say Honour, do you mean Honesty? The original name for the Crest of Reliability? I initially couldn't remember the original name for Reliability when I created the thread, hence leaving it as Reliability, whereas, I changed Sincerity to Purity!

Another translation for it is "Faith" as opposed to Reliability and Sincerity.

 

That aside, what I meant by honor was that Iori, to me, showed to be the traditional type who would fight for honor, if that makes sense. Like the responsible type. I also just got that impression given that he grew up in a police family. Fighting for the protection of others.

In relation to the 02 chosen children, they already "embody" crests, given they have Digimentals with crests on them, so Daisuke apparently is the embodiment of Courage and Friendship, Miyako is the embodiment of Love and Purity, whilst Iori is the embodiment of Knowledge and Honesty!

See, here's the thing....I don't feel that Iori really should've had Knowledge and that Miyako should've gotten it.

 

Iori came across as more wise than knowledgeable. His speech in episode 2 felt forced, compared to the rest of the series. That aside, I felt that all of the children showed more of the second trait of the Digimentals they received than the first. To me the first Digimentals just felt like defaults for them and that they gave love to Miyako because she was the only girl.

 

I'll explain more later. Time to catch the bus for work. ^^

 

Edit: Ok, on the bus...

 

Now, this is how I felt years ago based on my perceptions of the characters:

 

Daisuke: Friendship/Love/Courage. To me, Daisuke showed more friendship than practically all of the characters put together, which bothered me when they did that arc regarding the Friendship Digimental. He didn't know what it meant for him to be a friend when he'd shown it from the very beginning, like how the Digimon Kaiser had all of the kids trapped and Daisuke could only free one of them, he didn't want any of them to be hurt. He could've said, "Free Hikari-chan!" Nope. He selflessly offered himself in their place. It was a trick, but the fact he was willing to do that showed all three traits above: friendship, love, and courage. I felt that all three would've suited him just fine, but I'd still go with Friendship/Love for him.

 

Miyako: Purity/Knowledge. For her, she's very open with her feelings, even if some of them are a bit shallow, which she openly admitted to. Surely it's something she would probably outgrow when older, but it still shows she was suited for it. I felt Miyako would've been a better choice for the Digimental of Knowledge over Iori, because her character literally was knowledgeable of things in the way Koushirou was at times. Random facts about some things.

 

Iori: Sincerity (Faith/Reliability). To be honest, I just don't see any of the other Digimentals suiting him completely. Knowledge is a big maybe. Being wise is different from being knowledgeable. I felt that for the second ep that they just had Iori say those things as an excuse as to why he should get the Digimental of Knowledge. I guess if I could give Iori a second Digimental, I would go with maybe Courage…but that's just my head canon. He strikes me as the type who would be very protective over those he cares about...sort of. I view him doing something like that because it's the right thing to do, not necessarily because he's courageous. If I could make up a trait for him, it would be "honor" and that's why.

 

To me, the first Digimentals that the three received felt like defaults and that each kid's personality actually suited the second more so than the first.

Edited December 9, 2015 by Guest

[senshikoi]

Sure, no problem, just wanted to check you had wanted to put Honour, in essence, create a new crest, and wasn't a mistake, in which you actually meant Honesty... or Sincerity, gah, it's hard to keep this straight in my head...!

 

There are only two crests that were renamed in the dub: Crest of Reliabilty was originally Crest of Sincerity, though was also referred to as Crest of Honesty, however the words can be synonyms in certain instances; Crest of Sincerity was originally Crest of Purity!

 

Oh, turns out there were Crests of Miracles and Destiny, exclusive to Digimon Adventure: Memorial Goods... whatever that was!

 

I believe I can see what you're saying about Iori being more wise than knowledgable, and about Miyako being knowledgable; although I'm using one of the movies as evidence, Miyako was able to use her technical skills to open an access port (or rather loads of access ports) at Daisuke's request in Revenge of Diaboromon, whilst I believe it was Iori who had the idea to power up Imperialdramon's sword!

 

In relation to Daisuke, and friendship, it's possible friendship is like breathing to Daisuke, he's not aware how socially personalible he is, I mean some of the crest "awakenings" seemed to be related to the chosen children becoming aware to traits they never knew they had!

 

I'm now thinking it might have been better to re-watch Adventure and 02 before Tamers, Frontier, Savers and Xros Wars, so I could make a criteria checklist for crest embodiment, but oh well !

[Monox D. I-Fly]

For Zero Two, I think Knowledge and Purity should be switched. Knowledge fits Miyako more, since she knows things other don't understand, and Purity should belong to Iori since he is the purest in the group.

[senshikoi]

If I knew this thread would have been chosen for the newsletter, I would have done the avatar equivalent of wearing a tie !

 

So finished watching Tamers, and have updated my starting post!

 

Currently the Tamer section is slightly different to the other series, but the structuring is slightly different, at the moment, either the Tamers section will be changed to mirror the others, or the others will be mirrored to the Tamers section, I will be re-watching another series shortly!

[senshikoi]

In the process of watching 02 at the moment, I stand by my opinion that to Daisuke, friendship is like breathing, so be wouldn't know how to describe it, but in that episode, it also seemed to me that the other forms of friendship had confused him; saving someone pain by "killing" them, and letting your fists do the talking!

 

In regards to "killing" someone to spare them, it's possible that at that point, Daisuke is unaware of the rebirth element to Digimon!

 

As for swapping the Digimentals of other 02 characters, I'm unsure, I mean there have been couple of mentions as to Iori and a curious mind, i.e. a thurst for knowledge, whilst Miyako has knowledge, but currently does not seem to be on a "quest" for more knowledge, however that's what I have concluded, where I am now!

 

In regards for Miyako and love, currently I only have the third movie (or third part of the amalgam dub movie), in which Miyako tries to stop Poromon from fighting Cherubimon, on account of him being injured, there are similar instances with Sora and Piyomon!

 

EDIT: For some reason, I appear to no longer be able to edit old posts, interesting that I forgot that at time of posting this comment originally, and thus had to make an edit !
