(Inner monologue)
(Oh no, Leomon—)
(Guilmon, hurry up and evolve!! Go take down Beelzebumon!!)
(Whoa, this dragon is so ferocious—it doesn’t listen to Takato at all, nothing like the cute Guilmon I know.)
Hearing Takato shout: “No!! There’s only one Guilmon, mine!!”
(Crying...)
...Guilmon, you have to achieve true Ultimate Evolution!!
(Holy crap! HOLY CRAP!!! SO COOL!!! Dukemon!!!)
That’s what I used to think while watching my favorite anime as a kid. In the blink of an eye, it’s already been over 20 years. Digimon Tamers has also celebrated its 25th anniversary.
I remember telling my friends in the DM group earlier this year that if Japan held a Tamers pop-up event, I’d absolutely fly there without a second thought!
On May 15, 2026, Japan finally opened a small Tamers pop-up, with DBB and DA pop-ups happening just before and after.
So here I am!! 25th anniversary. Grown-up me, cosplaying as a larger-than-life Takato, retracing the places Takato and Guilmon walked through!!
Sure, it might not be perfect, but for me, this is a sacred pilgrimage—all for the anime I loved most as a child, embarking on a trip I decided to take on a whim!!
These three posted here are my absolute favorites!
Life needs a few moments of spontaneity and impulse—whether it’s making merch or chasing your own dreams!
