Nope! Not at all! Dub addition! Also, The D-Reaper does have a good chance since it did a great job of Breaking the cutie.

"Juri Katou of Digimon Tamers started out as a Genki Girl with a hand puppet to emphasize her childlike nature. She is the penultimate innocent of the cast, as well as the shy, sweet girl that main character Takato has a crush on. Then, once on the adventure, she loses her Digimon partner and gets possessed by the Big Bad. The Big Bad then proceeds to conjure up monsters based on her worst memories (revealing in the process that she was a Stepford Smiler all along) in order to feed on her sadness. This is one instance of Mind Rape that would give even NGE a run for its money... "
And for further reference,
"Seems tame in comparison to poor Juri but Ken Ichijoji pretty much fits the bill, too. He goes from the Big Bad and Evil Genius in the first season of Digimon Adventure 02 to being The Woobie and The Atoner with a Darkand Troubled Past all in one go. He deals with everything from crushing guilt to being completely isolated from everyone, to his brother's death, to being infected with the Dark Spore, to kidnapping, to being occasionally dragged into a Lovecraftian inspired other world... Somebody on the writing team really wanted to make sure this guy earned his redemption."
"And then there's Takeru/TK in the original series... poor damn TK, it just wasn't fair. To elaborate, at age 8 he is dealing with his parents being divorced, his Aloof Older Brother being moody and unpleasant because of this, and then he witnesses his close friend and Digimon Patamon die right in front of him without the knowledge that he'd come back okay. He does manage to deal with this and becomes a level-headed Lancer in the second season... unless he encounters anyone making use of the Powers of Darkness."
