Digimon: How Did the Courage Crest Turn Me into a Brute?

Yagami Taiji is certain he watched a lost season of Digimon. In the anime, the boy of courage is called Yagami Taichi. In real life, no one by that name has ever existed in the Yagami family. Then, after the screen went dark during the school technology festival, three lines appeared: 【Courage Sample: 02】 【Subject Classification: Human Side / Verification Failed】 【Tier Slot: Occupied】 A week later, Taiji and six other children fell into the Digital World. The others' crests read “Courage,” but his lit up with the character for “recklessness.” Their first evolution was Greymon; one line from Taiji, “Even if I die, I’ll keep biting,” awakened SkullGreymon instead. The enemy was beaten through, and the entire forest was drained to ashen gray. From then on, every evolution meant borrowing against the world, and every victory taught the next batch of enemies how to kill them. His six teammates and seven partners who dared to say no turned his recklessness into a battle strategy. After being tormented by Myotismon, Gatomon escaped early, while the original LadyDevimon came hunting. Once the Black Gears were removed, the world's clock ran out of control, and the days grew shorter and shorter. By the time they fought their way back to Tokyo, everyone but Takeru had grown up, and their families and partners had also remembered Yagami Taichi, whom the world had erased. But then a message popped up on Koushiro's computer: 【Yagami Taiji】 【Adult-level Digimon / Human Type / Virus】 【Special Moves: Gale, Yashichin】 When Angewomon took his hand, and the dark golden light illuminated the SkullGreymon he could control, Taiji stopped asking whether he was just a substitute. “Greymon, can you still hear me?” “Loud and clear. What should I smash into?”
