Shit I Posted In Clear Support Of Meiko That Actually Got Some Attention And 50+ Interactions Besides Just My Own - Blog Posts

DIGIMON ADVENTURE tri. x Our War Game ~ ~ DIRECT REFERENCES to past canon ~ IMPORTANT DIALOGUES ~ CALLBACKS ~ WORLDBUILDING + The Takaishi-Ishida Family (featuring side Taichi & Koushiro involvement) + Tri!Takeru picking up on Meiko’s (J.P.N) DIALECT (Tottori and Shimane can be considered ‘like’ the J.P.N ‘Countryside’, but they’re regions of J.P.N!)

“Dandan!” - Takeru’s Grandmother (speaking), in appreciation to Takeru helping her IN 2nd Digimon Adventure movie, “Our War Game”* [also often referred to as “Childrens’ War Game”] {“Bokura no War Game”}

{“Bokura no Mirai” / “Our Future”, Tri part 6, shows us…}

{Meiko is teaching Meicoomon how to SAY the phrase, “DANDAN”}

BONUS: (Continued scenes from “Our War Game”)

”You’re right. I should go bring in the laundry.” “DANDAN!” “DANDAN!” - Man to Woman, above (not mentioned in this older translation, but you can hear it SPOKEN)

My Commentary:

I have since determined “Our War Game” Yamato & Takeru are, in actuality, some of my favorite “forms” of Yamato & Takeru ever.

A LOT of people never (apparently!) caught these references, but yes, they’re actual things… (You CAN hear it spoken in the script, if you watch the J.P.N)

The implication since “Our War Game” is that “DANDAN” was a regional phrase / part of the spoken dialects there, of the J.P.N prefectures (regions/locations) featured in the series. Shimane is where Takeru + Yamato’s grandmother, “Kinu” is from, who is also referenced in the script (“Kinu-san’s grandchildren.”).

Tottori is where Meiko’s family was from, stated in “Ketsui” the 2nd part of Tri. This is why Takeru is the main one to pick up on Meiko’s dialect, and even comments directly on it.

It’s because he recognized it. Shimane and Tottori are both located in the Chūgoku region of Honshu. (Even Koushiro lightly {casually} refers to it as, “The one {prefecture} with the sand dunes!” about Tottori, helpfully, while Taichi, looking right AT Yamato, mentions, “Shimane’s the one with no computers.”)

“That was a million years ago!” - Yamato, shooting back (who had a lot of mis-adventures in Shimane during the 2nd Adventure movie in J.P.N, “Our War Game”)

In the mid-end half of “Kokuhaku, the 3rd film, we see a small segment of Meiko at her original home’s location:

(You can see how it looks traditional in the architecture of Meiko’s home.) {Compare to Takeru & Yamato’s locations, above!}
