This page is dedicated to the Taichi "Tai" Kamiya and Sora Takenouchi coupling, also known as Taiora (a portmanteau of Taichi and Sora, the original Japanese names). The two are mainly in Digimon Adventure and often in Digimon Adventure 02.
[edit] Evidence from Digimon Adventure
[edit] Episode 1: And so it begins...
When Tai searches for a way down by the cliff to escape from Kuwagamon, Sora says, "Be careful, Tai!"
A short while later, Kuwagamon attacks the DigiDestined again, and when he goes to attack Tai first, because he is ten meters away from the group, Sora says, "Watch out, Tai!"
[edit] Episode 7:Ikkakumon's Harpoon Torpedo
Tai and Sora go alone to save Joe.
[edit] Episode 14: Departure for a New Continent
After the gang is swallowed up by Whamon, Sora is holding on to Tai's waist, then lets go when they stop in Whamon's stomach.
[edit] Episode 16: The Arrival of SkullGreymon
When Tai wants Greymon to evolve to the next level, knowing that if he is in danger, Greymon would reach the ultimate level, he runs in stubbornly and Sora tries to stop him.
[edit] Episode 18: The Piximon Cometh
After Greymon attacks the Tyrannomon of Etemon, Sora is happy when she sees Tai returning.
[edit] Episode 19: The Prisoner of the Pyramid
When Sora was kidnapped by Datamon, she yells for Tai, not anyone else. (Original version)
Tai tries everything to rescue Sora, but when he fails, Tai cries after their escape from the pyramid due to his inability (or so he says) to save Sora.
[edit] Episode 22: Forget about it!
After Tai had disappeared into the real world, Sora is the first one of the group that left in search of him.
[edit] Episode 26 Sora's Crest Of Love
After the group escapes Myotismon, Tai mentions that he feels something, remaking that it could have been Sora's love shining through her crest.
Tai even tries to explain to Sora that her crest of love is perfect for her, remarking that she is always caring about others and that she was trying to protect everyone from the shadows and thanks her along with T.K.
[edit] Episode 29: Return to Highton View Terrance
Mammothmon attacks Birdramon which was covering Sora and Tai. When it moved away, Tai was protecting Sora with his body. They were practically holding each other.
[edit] Episode 35: Flower Power
Sora prepares herself for training and Biyomon asks her why she must go to the soccer field. She says in the original version: "I have soccer practice, and besides Taichi will be there and I need to talk to him about some things."
[edit] Evidence from Digimon Adventure 02
[edit] Episode 42: Digimon World tour part III
When Sora and Yolei go to Siberia to help 3 Russian DigiDestined, the Russian DigiDestined can't understand English. So to direct them in battle, Yolei uses the only three Russian words she knows. Sora starts to get embarrassed and she states: "This is so embarrassing; there is no way I'm telling Tai." (English dub insert)
In other ways, Sora knew that Tai would mock her for it. And for this, She said that.
[edit] Evidence outside the series itself
[edit] Movie: Digimon: the Movie
In the dub, Sora's voice is on the answering machine, complaining that Tai throws up in her hat.
[edit] Movie: Our War Game
Before the events of this movie as Tai had sent her a hair clip as her birthday present. Somehow this led to an argument leading Sora to think that Tai did not like her hat and this leads to an argument with neither side willing to apologize to each other. Tai resorts to sending an email with his apologies, but accidentally ends it with "Love, Tai". (In the Japanese version, Taichi spells his name wrong, and when Hikari barges in, Taichi's arm accidentally knocked against the "heart" key in his keyboard.) Kari 'helped' him to send it, making him panic.
In the original version Sora apologizes for her actions through an email to Tai and is seen smiling and wearing the clip in her hair in a picture she sent him.
[edit] Movie: Diaboromon Strikes Back
Sora meets up with Tai and Matt, and calls out Tai's name first. Later, as the eyes of the disembodied arms of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon glow (they were knocked off Omnimon by a blast from Armageddemon), a shockwave is generated which frightens Sora; with Tai and Matt at either side of her, she shrieks and grabs Tai's arm, rather than Matt's. In a picture during the credits, all twelve of the DigiDestined and their Digimon are gathered around the trolley car from Garurumon and The Fate Of Two Worlds; Matt is standing alone on the ground, while Sora and Tai are sitting next to eachother on top of the trolley car.
[edit] Manga: V-Tamer 01
In the manga, a Tai from an alternate universe seems to have an attraction with a girl named Rei (who looks exactly like Sora aside from different clothes). This could have been the basis for the Taiora coupling.
[edit] Speculation
- Despite all this, it never seems the two got together, as the Digimon Adventure 02 finale implies (and Toei confirms) that Sora married Matt.
- The English dub suggests that Tai at some point had a crush on Sora and vice-versa, something absent in the original Japanese, where they're merely very good friends.
