An analysis on Sorato and Taiora: the creators and writers behind the production of Digimon Adventure and 02

This is a production post about the creators and writers of Digimon Adventure/02 regarding Sorato and Taiora. I first wrote the ‘skeleton’ of this post in mid-May 2013, because I figured I could never contact Toei Animation and ask them to confirm that Sorato was planned from the first season. So, I thought, how else could I prove that it was? Well, by the Sorato evidence I saw in the series and seeing who wrote those episodes – and if there was a pattern of the same people writing them across both seasons.

It turns out there was.

There were three writers who wrote all the Sorato foreshadowing across both seasons. I had planned to make a post about it to show that Sorato was planned since the first season – but then I stumbled upon Hiroyuki Kakudou’s Twitter, where I was actually able to ask if Toei Animation had always planned Sorato from the first season. And he confirmed that it was.
