>>13889176To be fair, the original head writer for Digimon Adventure didn't write the story for Children's War Game. And, in fact, TaixSora was never actually a thing in the original Japanese run. In 02, Tai's the one who actually pushes Sora to confess to Matt in the first place.
The American writers were the ones who pushed the TaixSora thing, and the sudden SoraxMatt in 02 really came out of left field for them. They completely didn't expect that at all. So the American writers basically screwed themselves over by adding story elements that were never actually there in the first place.
