Sibling Rivalry

Anybody who has spent longer than 24 hours around me knows that Digimon 01 is my absolute favourite cartoon of all time, and that as a kid I just adored Tai. Elementary school for me was just a haze of digital monsters and goggles. Watching it as an adult nowadays I pick up on a severe favoritism vibe coming from the Kamiya household, and it sure as hell wasn't Kari getting slapped, so I figure that with some clever writing you could bring out some similarities in psyche between Demidevimon and Tai. DD was always trying to one-up Gatomon and win Myotismon's favor, and had to do so despite him being there first. Tai is in pretty much the same position except instead of getting competitive or mean he just fully accepts the role of Kari's caregiver and that's really fucking precious of him.

Like I said, I love Digimon. I think about it too much, it's very embarrassing, and anyway I'm on holiday right now with nothing but my brain to keep me company.
