The more things change, the more they stay the same.
- Digimon Tamers: Henry/Jenrya/Jianliang/WHATEVER to Takato, after talking about their differences in their way of doing things: "...That must be why I like you so much." Granted, this was only in the dub, but it's still noticeable. Oh, and... every single frame of the episode "Kazu and Kenta's Excellent Adventure," a Filler episode starring Those Two Guys.
- Heck, in the original version of that episode, Kazu and Kenta actually share an Accidental Kiss.
- Fans also like to interpret Renamon's absolute devotion to Rika and their entire relationship as a whole as Les Yay.
- The implication in the German dub that Vajramon has a thing for Renamon, who's a male.
- In Digimon Frontier, the amount of hints of Ho Yay for Takuya/Kouji in the series is shocking. Especially once you read between the lines.
- I wonder if this particular Hero and Lancer couple would be as popular if Kouji had been a girl like was originally scripted. Given the popularity of Takato and Ruki in the Digimon Tamers fandom, it probably would have been.
- In a rather Squicky case, brothers Kouji and Kouichi from Frontier actually had a scene that was so sappy and beautiful that even their enemy at the time (Crusadermon) had to comment on how beautiful it was. Although it's not clear whether said scene was "elaborated" by a case of a Shipper on Deck, it's Crusadermon we're talking about here.
- Marcus/Masaru and Thomas/Touma from Digimon Data Squad.
- Kouki is also very keen on defeating Masaru, to say the least. It doesn't help that his colleagues Nanami and Ivan have blatant attractions to Touma and Yoshino respectively.
- That's to say nothing of the amount of Les Yay between Yoshino and her partner, Lalamon. In the Japanese version of episode 32, Lalamon outright says to Ivan that she "won't hand her (Yoshino) over easily".
- Masaru and Ikuto. During their first meeting, they wrestle. Later when Ikuto is branded as traitor, it's Masaru who wants to save him the most. At one point, Masaru has to carry an unconscious Ikuto bridal-style. And then Masaru let Ikuto to live with his family for a while, and even have a bath together. Said bath scene later appears in a flashback about how Ikuto is very worried of Masaru. Ikuto also admires Masaru so much that he mentions him after his surrogate parents during his "The Reason You Suck" Speech against Kurata, and later tells the baby Digimons to call him "aniki" just like how Agumon would call Masaru.
- Speaking of Masaru and Agumon, they have an episode dedicated to their break-up. And to say the least of the ending, in which Masaru chooses to go to Digital World in order to stay with Agumon forever.
- Miki and Megumi are pretty much inseparable from each other. And during the fight against Belphemon, there is a suspicious amount of scenes in which they are either holding hands or hugging each other. Them being a walking, talking Shout-Out to Nagisa and Honoka probably helps.
- Digimon Fusion:
- Kiriha really wants Taiki as his underling. The opening screen of one episode even had him looking at drawing of Taiki with "My Taiki" above it.
- Then there's Nene and Akari, from episode 23 and beyond. Akari is even the one who gets Nene to first open up and smile. In the manga, we also have this scene
between the two of them. - Not to mention Blastmon with both Tactimon and Beelzebmon.
- And Shoutmon and Ballistamon.
- And the only time MailBirdramon shows strong emotions is when Greymon, his DigiXros partner, falls down a large drop.
- Taiki is a bit too enthusiastic whenever Reapmon, and later Beelzemon is on scene.
- What triggered Reapmon's transformation to Beelzemon, aside from the holy warrior's mask? Taiki's tears.
- Look no further at Taiki's anguished scream when Beelzemon pulls a Heroic Sacrifice in episode 48. His reaction is as heart-wrenching as that of Mervamon, Beelzemon's Love Interest. Beelzemon's last words being directed to Taiki alone, and how his last black feather lands on Taiki's chest, certainly don't help matters.
- Beelzemon is possibly the most devoted to Taiki within the Xros Heart army next to Shoutmon. He also never questions Taiki's decisions no matter how insane they are.
- In early episodes, Zenjirou seems to be a little too obsessed to make Taiki notice him as his "worthy rival". And Taiki trusts him enough to make him Xros Heart's temporary leader.
- Tradition continues in Digimon Adventure tri., with Saikai having a large focus on the ongoing rocky friendship between Taichi and Yamato almost plays out like a pair of lovers trying to straighten out their relationship, to the point where Sora traps them alone together in a Ferris wheel car in order to force them to talk it out. Mimi even takes a picture of the two as they get on the different car.
- Ketsui with the interactions between Mimi and the newcomer, Meiko. Lots of blushing from Meiko, Mimi hugging her a lot and even calls her Mei Mei. Then the two dance together in their festival outfits.
