I suppose that is a matter of opinion to an extent, but I certainly wouldn't say her relationship or lack thereof is more important than her relationship with the main protagonist or her relationship with the main cast as a whole. Were the blurb longer not disclosing it might be weird, but given the limited space I'd say they focused on the right things.

I mean if romance is totally irrelevant why they don't mention this. After all, these profiles do not have anything relevant.

You really don't realise why 'romance is irrelevant, therefore it's weird that they wouldn't mention this irrelevant information, given that they have very limited space' is ridiculous, tortured logic?

Really?

Hikari and Kakeru being popular with the opposite sex is irrelevant too, even more irrelevant than an actual relationship between two main characters. Yet, they did mention that but didn't mention Yamato and Sora's relationship. That's suspicious.

Not - really. That's insane troll logic. One piece of information being included does not mean that any information left out is ~*~suspicious omg~*~

By that logic, anything they don't mention is automatically suspicious. For example, they didn't mention that Kari wants to become a teacher! Surely this means that at the start of the series, she'll have given up on that dream!

They didn't mention that Sora has reconciled with her mother. Could this mean that at the start of the series, they'll once again be feuding?

Oh my god, what if in Joe's bio, they don't mention his older siblings? That would mean that they're all dead.

Essentially, what I'm getting at is that this is the new '02 Might Be Retconned Because I Want It To Be' or 'Matt Has Gone Evil Because He Was In Shadow In That Promo Picture' - The wild, ludicrous conspiracy theorising of people with too much interest in Sora's love life and too little higher reasoning ability.

Actually I don't consider it baiting. To me this is the very distinct parallel of Matt to TK. In O2 Matt had fangirls galore but only one girl was ever on his mind. I think the same will be for T.K. and that girl is obviously gonna be Kari. We know that thanks to his song he wants to know if he's the "Focus" of her heart, and well he questions if he is the focus of her heart. So it's the cliche all the girls love me but the one girl I love may not love me back.

I actually do think they're gonna make Takari canon in 03, mainly because...

A. Most fans want it to happen, about as much as reconning the epilogue which looks like it could happen. It was easily the most developed pairing in the anime series.
B. If you notice on all the merchandise and the website about the movieS none of the children are paired together except Takari. They all have their own page but these two share one.
C. I get the notion that in the school scenes Takeru and Hikari will obviously be featured in a story together. I mean from what we could tell of the trailer both are wearing uniforms in their dialogue scenes and it's a safe bet they're interacting with one another.

That was all BTW before we got the VA's for Hikari and Takeru talking to media in Japan and suggesting that Takari still has a very good chance of happening.

I also agree with others that Matt and Sora not even saying that they're dating in the blurbs could be a sign that they may be broken up.

That is a rumor, but nothing is confirmed about it (we do not have a translation about what VA's of Hikari and Takeru said).

This rumor is probably a mistake or confusion. Who said that this rumor also said a rumor that Sora's VA say that Taiora wasn't out of the running yet, but this is fake:

I wish this was a series

Only what is it? Five or six OVAs isn't enough to cover all of this in my opinion. What about the 02 kids? I'm so confused. I mean, why are T.K / Karai still going to be around the 01 group when they should with the 02 kids still?

Because
1- they are originally from season one group
2- they have blood relation with MC ( sister/brother)
Example: HiKari visiting Taichi football club to give him his obento
....etc

And it's move (80min X 6 = 20~24 episodes)

[Houreki]

If all the OVAS have the same amount of time then it'll be the same as if we had a 24 anime episodes, so I don't see a problem there.

T.K and Hikari are going to appear because they were part of the first group. Regardless the other 02 kids, the staff hasn't said anything about them, so they may still appear as secondary characters or they will just not appear at all.

i bet there is going to be more romance in these movies than people think.

We have very little to go on to determine that, though, so we really can't say either way.

Something curious, about Takeru and Hikari, they are the only characters that are in Middle School (even Joe is in high school). I wonder if this will affect their interaction with the rest of the group at some level.

It seems that the major suits of digidestined will be their school uniforms (I mean Mimi has school uniform in the promotion, although she's back in the first OVA), I wonder if this means that schools play an important role in the story. Although it is not strange that the main suits are school uniforms, but the school is not so relevant.


Others thing, profiles of Koushiro and Joe:

Kido Jou- 3rd year in high school. He attends prep school to prepare for university exams and is engrossed with studying daily but worries because he isn't getting the grades that he wants. His Digimon partner is Gomamon.

Izumi Koushiro- 1st year in high school. He is skilled at computers and has both the ability to analyze and understand situations. Sometimes he gets so absorbed with what's in front of him that he ignores everything else. His Digimon partner is Tentomon.

I think it's a safe bet that Takeru and Hikari will be interacting a lot with each other in Tri just based on their location from the rest of the others.

They are the only two characters paired up on the movies official website.

Everyone who watched the first season of digimon thought this pairing was going to happen, it was really the only pairing that the majority could actually agree on being canon.

Well, I think many people thought they were going to be a couple since Angewomon appeared (this is probably not a very valid reason, but that was the impression transmitted). Although it seems that the old staff didn't plan this.

I don't know if there will be something romantic about Takeru and Hikari in Tri, but I think it will be many interactions between these two characters. Not only because they are the only ones in the same school, but because it has always implied that they a strong connection (light and hope).

On one hand judging by the age of the cast (majority of them being highschool students) you're probably right. On the other hand Digimon and romance, lol. Only thing they like to do in Digimon is shipteasing followed up by ignoring their own shipteasing and pretending it didn't happen.

Pretty much and because of their high amount of interaction people will be shipping them, including myself.

seems like 02 is canon after all. Matt is in the band, check. Mimi is in the States, check. Green uniform for middle schoolers, check.
As for pairing, the 02 ending give us only 2 official pairing, Sora-Matt, Yolei-Ken. Others are left for fan to guess (basically girl with crest of love end up with rival of the series)

They better make Kari-TK official though

They needa let matt have sora and let taichi hook up with this new girl. Would be kinda shitty if they ended hooking up tachi with sora and matt with the new girl just to please the older fan base.

Kari-TK gotta happen tho.

There was never much of a TaichiSora fanbase in Japan, and anime producers generally don't care about overseas fans. All in all, I see no reasons to change the YamatoSora pairing.

Mind you, I'm totally biased. I don't like Sora so I don't want her to end up with Taichi. Besides, the new girl is a qt.

[obkung]

Yup, TachixSora is pretty much western thing due to dub exaggerated the pairing without them knowing what the writers had in mind. There are a lot of clue in the original versions.
To name the few.
In episode 26 Sora cried, Taichi doesn't know what to do, Yamato does. More importantly Takeru slipped something out "I really like Sora-san so don't leave us anymore, okay? I don't like it when my family...I mean everyone is separated." turns out 01 and 02 Takeru is the narrator. Episode 36, Sora charged Phantomon with a stick just to help Yamato. Episode 37 Snimon attacked Sora and nearly killed her, Yamato's crest glow and Garurumon evolved. Episode 45 Yamato wants to go alone, Sora support that decision by telling him she will take care of Takeru. Both faced dark cave.

There are also subtle hints like ending Sora centric episode with Yamato's theme for example and honorific change. At the start Sora address Yamato like they are acquaintance but at the end of 01, she address him like a close friend. Yamato is the only person in the group that Sora changes how she addresses him in the entire series.

All of this are not present in dub versions at all, which resulted in Sora-Yamato come out of nowhere for the western audiences.
