I may as well give everyone a fair turn in the ring: time for Takeru (TK).
His 01 uselessness is a difficult hurdle to overcome. His behaviour is irrational, even for a kid that young, and I cringed just about every time he opened his mouth. He wasn't blessed with a same-gendered voice actor, and the whole "grown-woman-trying-to-sound-like-a-younger-male" has never really sat well with me since my Astro Boy days. His only saving grace was that he was the only DigiDestined to not get key-chained and his Digimon just happened to be kick-ass awesome in its Ultimate form.
Fortunately, he received a major rehaul in just about every department for 02. He got rid of his weird Chinese-style gem hat and shapeless green vest in favour of a cream bucket hat, stylish teal boots, and a neat blue-and-yellow running shirt. Jammin'! Also, say goodbye to pathetic whining, physcial incapacity, and overall Digimon partner uselessness. Instead, say hello to better voice acting, a fierce growl, and cat-like reflexes (ie. catching Ken's whip). As an added bonus, this guy hates evil so much that he's practically evil for doing so. Cute guy + unspeakably evil dark urges = good in the sack. (Maybe? I have no idea.) Either way, he's a nice guy who won't really outshine you physically or academically and will stick with you through it all.
