Another bullet point on my never-ending list of things that fascinate me about Koushirou Izumi is that while he's the undeniable brains of the operation and can be saddled with the title of "boy genius", he's actually wrong a lot of the time with his initial thoughts. Like he really doesn't just know everything and pulls it out of a hat, but rather he interacts with the scene and invests himself in learning that it's actually a natural process of events when he does come to the correct conclusion. I'm not sure if it's intentional, but it kind of rings to me like the scientific process where you start with a hypothesis and work your way to the highest probability of the truth and that's what he does and I just find that detail rather neat
#it just helps that he's invested so much pre-series time to studying a lot that he has a leg up on certain things#but idk I just think about a scene in the stageplay I watched#and within the novels#He thought the digiworld was a theme park for quite some time#iirc he made the hypothesis that they were data and might not die 'in the game' so to speak but also kept it open that they /could/#when Ken stopped being the kaiser Koushirou just went straight up to him and was like 'tell me everything you know :)'#and I think it's interesting iirc that he wasn't the one who came up with new stuff for the d3s-- it was his American friend#who I also think had more info on diaboromon that Koushirou was using in owg#if anything his american friend is the deux ex machina lmoa#like I'm not saying everything is always logical or whatever I just wanna say that Koushirou himself isn't like some#Great Power who knows everything#Koushirou just /learns/ and /tries/ and invests himself in his environment in a way the other kid's don't even try#Because he likes learning#But also like yeah he can do math super fast lmao#Like Koushirou = learning and trying NOT strict logic#which is why it doesn't seem odd that they allow him to be zany and a bunch of other things within the series and be comedic relief#because there are times when he doesn't think and just reacts or does something..... like try to touch an alien-esque device#WITH HIS BARE HANDS#learning > possible threat to safety#digimon is a fun series#shut up lala
