Ships huh? I imagine Takeru x hikari has been done to death but I never get tired it lol.
Would like a Taichi x Meiko take. I think they would fit quite well together.
Hehe, well, to summarize some positivity about Takari regardless: I do love that they ARE consistently glued to each other at the hip. While people who don't ship it may find it weird, whereas people who DO ship it may be frustrated with them not being confirmed as canon, it's really nice to see that they never drifted apart. Regardless of time passing, regardless of the universe, with all their parallels and developments. And the most recent audio drama proved to me personally that they're perfectly compatible trolls together that enable and have a wonderful time with each other in private (and thus also "off duty").
As for Meichi, I hope it actually comes across when I say that, to me, their set-up would be the ultimate wish-fulfillment: Imagine being ridden by self-doubt and insecurities, are moving to a new place and be embraced, encouraged and supported by the literal sun? Granted, Taichi himself is suffering from self-doubt and insecurities just as much at the time they meet - but he also feels naturally drawn to and protective of "the different/weird ones" and thus, it also seems like their bond may give him another (external) reason to move forward, to re-discover his natural strengths. They're going through similar experiences, loss-related trauma may linger in both of them, and while they still need to work on their communication skills, they are empathetic and soft towards each other - and thus have met at just the right time in their lives.

As pointed out in the main post, every single Chosen Child will get their individual analysis post to check on the status of the current popularity of their ships. With that out of the way, letās take a look at Meiko, shall we! Ā
The overall results / spreadsheet
The āOthersā choice in the main poll received 15% (approx. 8 votes). The comments/tags did not specify any preferences here (aside from characters that were already part of the main choices).
Ship Analysis
1st place: With a lead of merely 11 votes to 2nd place, Mimi (42%) won the overall poll. Despite the poll having received the least amount of votes overall (since there has only been one), it is not too surprising to see her here - she had been the first (alongside Sora) to take Meiko under her wing and seemed incredibly smitten by her bashful nature, trying to get her out of her shell, encouraging her to wear more daring clothes and generally believing more in herself, while also constantly defending and protecting her from others. Between a lot of physical touches (including cheek kisses), affectionate words and blushing, seeing Meiko bloom because of Mimiās encouragement definitely makes this a favourite.
2nd place: Taichi (22%) comes in second in this poll - and seeing their set-up in Tri, itās almost shocking that the race between him and Mimi hasnāt been more close. Ever since their glances crossed (silently at first on several occasions), their paths were meant to mirror each other; with Taichi not being able to face his cowardice or either of his friends properly, he finds solace in being able to talk to Meiko - who, just like he had to in the past, has to deal with the corruption and eventual loss of her partner. Thus, his protectiveness of her also makes sense - and the subtle bond upon him calling her and blushing due to not finding the right words may not be understated.
3rd place: Facing no real threat to get surpassed, Yamato (13%) finished third on the podest - and, once again, with good reason. While Meiko actually learns more about Yamato by talking to his brother about him, his tendency to jump in to save her is pretty blatant. Yamato is a person who is protective of characters in need of help and also cannot stand seeing people jump towards their own doom head first.Ā
Honorary mentions: This spot is reserved for Takeru (4%), who was seen bonding with and teasing/flirting with Meiko on several occasions, while also sharing (and hiding) the fate of losing their partners, with him trying to help her to face the consequences.
āThe 1 vote squadā: Koushiro and Jou (1% each) take this place.
ā0 votes go toā¦ā: Both Sora and Hikari have received 0 votes.
Annotations: TheĀ āOthersā option received an interesting number of 8 votes, but unfortunately, there hasnāt been any clarification on who was favoured there (whether it was a character in Tri-verse or otherwise).
What did the other polls say?
Meiko hasnāt won any of the other characterās polls and also hasnāt made it to any podiums. However, she has receiced minor/niche attention in several polls; first of all, mirorring her own polls, by making an appearance in Mimiās (7%) and Taichiās (7%), but also getting votes in Soraās (6%), Takeruās (5%), Hikariās (4%) Yamatoās (2%) and Jouās (1%)
Koushiro is the only character in whose poll she received 0 votes (despite him having gotten 1 vote in hers in reverse).
Notable additions / comments / thoughts
Since Meiko is a character who only appears in the Tri movies as a re-occuring (main) character, she obviously does not get as much exposure as the other characters overall and also doesnāt have any interactions with any of the 02 characters aside from Takeru and Hikari. Hence there was no necessity for a second poll - which also means that she got the least amount of votes overall. (Of course there may be spheres in the fandom that also see her as a more controversial character, but we shall only focus on the positive aspects of the shipping here.)
Taking into account that my blog may or may not be visited by Digimon fans who have a preference for same sex ships - and due to their constant framing together -, it should come to no surprise that Mimi still managed to sweep the overall vote. While I expected the race between Taichi and Yamato to be tighter as well, I was also surprised to see the distribution of votes among the other characters. Meichi generally gets a lot of - understandable - framing, so Taichiās placement is more than valid; however, Yameiko has slowly but steadily become more of a fan favourite due to several analysis posts taking a deeper look into their relationship.
When it comes to the other characters, she does have vital moments with Takeru, Sora and Hikari in canon - and while Takeru actually received a (comparably) decent amont of (niche) votes, I was surprised not to see Sora and Hikari represented in Meikoās own poll, while she got at least niche attention in each of the other girlsā polls.Ā (On a personal note, there may actually be a memory bias in place here, because I had forgotten a lot of the more memorable moments between her with each Takeru, Sora and Hikari, so I can only assume that this may have been the case for others as well.)
Since Meiko had no interpersonal visible interaction with Koushiro and Jou on screen outside of plot related reasons, the low number of votes is understandable.
The comments in the tags have only referred to the already mentioned choices. So the āOthersā option did not reveal any other potentially preferred suitors. This leaves room for speculation, but usually, the option is reserved for OC ships, for when people prefer to not ship a character at all or when theyāre considered asexual (which will definitely be a future option to include as well!). Thus, I really hope to reach a wider audience if I choose to repeat the polls once the fandom is not as quiet as it is right now.
