What better way to celebrate 10 years of tri / @triweek2025 (and 10 years of me being active in the Digimon fandom on Tumblr, WOW!) than by finishing this fic, which I started waaaaay back in 2018 for the @makinishiweek shipping celebration? It's been a long time coming, but finally, it's DONE! I still love them! Their dynamic compels me, and this is how I chose to give them a little bit of closure :D

So, we collectively decided to go back to the Homeostasis agents AU, right? :D

IT'S HIS GRAND RETURN, MY BELOVED HEADCANON THAT DAIGO DOES NOT DIE PERMANENTLY AND HE'S SAVED BY BAIHUMON AND IS TURNED INTO A DIGITAL WORLD AGENT.

Because Ni lives in denial.

※ I also like to make AUs, so i made my own AU about an old theory from 2017 and at least Daigo and Maki SURVIVES.

To commemorate that Digimon Adventure tri. Part 1 “Reunion” was first released 3 years ago (2015, Nov. 20 at Crunchyroll and Nov. 21 on Japanese theaters) I decided to share Kaida Yuhko’s (Himekawa Maki) comment about it back when it was just released. Please note that I’m still not very fluent in Japanese but I tried since I thought it was worth it.

The movie has been released since the last Saturday! It’s limited for 3 weeks! Only in 10 theaters nationwide!

That popular series revives after 15 years! You can see the Chosen Children as High School students.

I voice the mysterious woman, Himekawa Maki. During the first chapter, she’s a really mysterious person, but from now on she will be more and more involved in the story. Please, check from the first chapter!

The latest work made by those who love Digimon. Don’t miss it!

Friendly reminder that she has worked in the Digimon series way before tri. as Hayase’s wife in “Digimon Savers”, she only appeared in one episode so Hime-chan was her first recurrent role in this world.

Made this via tracing over official artwork of Maki’s face for this and an image of a figure that’s used for poses: https://www.google.com/search?q=mannequin+reference&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBAU941AU941&sxsrf=ALiCzsZVkWqfFzvYslNtNIOW7IUdPYWHIQ:1664082230991&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi37YSyla_6AhWcArcAHW61BdMQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=2560&bih=1297&dpr=1#imgrc=1I7e1aBn36N0nM
