The Crest of Light: Hikari Yagami 

 


 
 
8-year-old Hikari, the infamous eighth Digidestined and owner of the Tag and Crest of Light who only appeared at half of the first season, is generally loved by the 90% of the Digi-fandom for being so sweet, so nice, so... perfect! And I'm not the only one who's annoyed by it. At least in the original series, she ended up bugging me, as everything happens to her. She's at the center of everything: Myotismon wants her dead more than anybody in the Digidestined, her Digimon (Tailmon) is the only one who's already in Champion form, everybody searches for her in the Myotismon saga, she serves as the medium for the Digimon spirits, she's so selfless and sweet that she nearly dies... 

AAAAARGH! The 01 Hikari had NO flaws to overcome to gain her Tag and Crest, and there are moments when the other charas serve mostly to dance attendance (specially the Three T: Tailmon, Taichi and Takeru)! I used to like her because she was no crybaby, but now that in the Dartk Masters saga, Takeru isn't half the whiner that he was... When I revise my Digimon tapes, I barely bring myself to watch 'My sister's Keeper' (I LOVE my remote's FF button!), and only my own sister's pleas convinced me not to delete it. That episode defines Hikari as the Mary Sue of Digimon. Simply. 

In Digimon 02, Kari is quite more bereable. I may define it with a phrase: 'When Sora dropped her boyishness, Hikari took some of it, and what could've been a terrible chara-rape, turned into a REAL strenght'. Kari now acts more like a tomboy, with a strong personality and a taste for jokes and tease. Way to go, Kari! Like Lunatic Mimi (another anti-01 Kari fellow) said in her page, 'you're behaving now like a human being'. 

 


 
 
 

Part 1: Hikari and Jyou? 

* Raising an eyebrow* Really? Apart of the natural bond between the Digidestined, nothing else is shown, even if you throw in the Puppetmon chapter, where Jyou was the first victim of Puppetmon's tricks and Hikari got very worried when he doubled over in pain ("Are you okay, Jyou-san? Does your stomach hurt?" -- "No, I'm doing it 'coz I like it!"). And for some, the BIG age difference also bring point loss. Hikari is four years younger than Jyou! But Mina-sempai does like TakeJyou, and Takeru is about Hikari's age if not younger, so... * sweatdrop* 
 
 
 


 

Part 2: Hikari and Mimi? 

 No. No way in hell. Miyako has done the dirty work (check the Miyako corner here and the Sacred Temple of Yomi for more info). Hikari has Daisuke and Takeru after her already, and Koushiro may felt torn between the two girls and Jyou too, but other than that... 
 
 

Part 3: Hikari and Koushiro? 

 Now that's something I rather can see. Hikari and Koushiro know each other from before the summer camp, thanks to Taichi (Koushiro's sempai in the soccer club) and she's also rather intrested in his theories (not to the point of yelling that she loves them, but...). They don't only look cute, but they get along well when they get to interact... not so much as he does with Mimi or Jyou and she does with Oniichan and Takeru, but even then... 
 
 

So, my vote goes to...
 
 

and... = KouShari!
