Even Bandai knows how United they are.

Oooooooooh, THAT IS HARD THOUGH. I have at least, like... Ten or so, so if I just go from the top of my head... All media is allowed though, right?

Our War Game as a whole. And no, I'm not just saying that because the Taishirou-fied OWG version will forever live rent-free in my head. The whole movie is a small love letter to their overall dynamic - even if they didn't have the same writers, it shows how well they function together DESPITE the differences and friction. Koushirou running over to Taichi IMMEDIATELY once the world is at stake, indirectly forcing him to face his behaviour towards Sora, them making up after fighting, working together to prevent Tokyo from getting blown up... It's chef's kiss.

"Koushirou, I want you to choose." (Adventure) This might actually be the set-up for number 1, if you think about it. I still wish it had been as elaborate and sweet as the novel version ("No, dummy, I'm the one who will choose. But I can't ignore your intelligence in what could be our last moment."), but it's still a wonderful display of their mutual trust in each other. First you have Koushirou say "I've always believed in Taichi-san", then you have Taichi entrusting him to solve the card riddle, knowing that he is the best one to do so. Basically, as Taichi is ackowledged as the leader of the group, Koushirou is immediately acknowledged as the strategist - and the scene would only have been topped if THIS had been Koushirou's Crest activation episode.

"I felt like you finally opened up your heart to me." (Adventure novels) You may notice a pattern here, because this is basically the emotional follow-up to number 2. The anime version is obviously a lot more grim in the way they keep clashing with each other due to Taichi prioritizing Hikari's health while Koushirou prioritizes Taichi's, culminating in Taichi ordering Koushirou to protect Hikari while he is perfectly willing to sacrifice himself... Only for Koushirou to be completely fed up and scream "Why won't you ever let me fight too?!" The novel version actually answers it for him... Leaving him horrified at the idea of having shouted at Taichi, who in return, answers in such a soft and reassuring way ("It's okay. In fact, it made me happy.") and thus validates Koushirou's entire arc. "If reconciling with his parents helped him to open up to other people, it made Koushirou happier with himself too. Taichi accepting his brazenness with a smile deepened his adoration for him even more."

One braincell carsquad (02). 02!Taikou/Taishirou will always have a special place in my heart, because they just hit differently and while I wholeheartedly enjoy Koushirou scolding his husband (which, again, if you think about it, is the logical consequence of number 3), I also absolutely love how in sync they can be in humour and general wavelength. I maintain that they're the literal dads of the 02 kids, who wouldn't have gotten their digivices if it hadn't been for them - but nothing beats them giggling and joking around like absolute dorks at the back of a car, all comfortably and in peace.

So a few weeks back, I discovered the Taishirou-fied Our War Game parody from this post here: https://lickedlipssinkships.tumblr.com/post/110070607917/bokura-no-war-game-taishirou-fiedzip

It was an absolute masterpiece, but as the above post mentioned, YouTube took down the video, and the original script writer/editor lost the original files at some point. So the only remaining copy was a copy downloaded from YouTube from back in the day, but this video was in 360p and cut into five parts. Now in 2021, I decided to “remaster” the whole thing since we now have Blu-ray quality footage, and well, it’s not that much effort to re-transcribe the subtitles and slap them onto the footage.

So I would like to present to the world my first contribution to the Taishirou community: A completely remastered version of the Taishirou-fied Our War Game edit - https://mega.nz/file/YEIGXLyI#iFhqOEv1u1KmCxpxrFFF01zg4KPAS7LbsFBRGKDnb5w

If you’re on a desktop/laptop, you should be able to stream the movie from that link without directly downloading it (but feel free to download if you wish!). If you’re on mobile, well, I guess just wait until you get yourself to a computer.

Feel free to share this around with other fans and re-upload, clip, and whatever else your heart desires. Let’s spread the love. <3

Also, I obviously do not own the rights to Digimon, Bokura no War Game, or anything else mentioned in this post. I’m just a fan who wants to live in his little fantasy, and wants to share that fantasy with other like-minded folks.

This is so cool! I hope resubbing it was a much smoother experience than what I had to do on Windows Movie Maker back in the day, lmao. Also, it was originally uploaded to YouTube in five parts! It was because YouTube had a 10-minute upload limit back then (wild huh?).

As mentioned above, I randomly found the original work back in 2021 and I absolutely loved it! I wanted to get it back out into the world (with 1080p quality), and spent a couple days learning how to do so. I personally think the script still holds up amazingly to this day, and based on the feedback I’ve received, I think others agree!
