* With one exception in (the midst of a chaotic battle), Ken always Daisuke [[LastNameBasis "Motomiya."]] However, when the two first achieve Jogress Evolution, we hear the boys' thoughts in voiceover, and Ken refers to the other as "Daisuke," implying that's what he calls "Motomiya" in his head even if he doesn't feel worthy of using it out loud.

** When Ken meets the Chosen Children in the real world for the first time, the camera switches to his POV of the group. It then zooms in solely on Daisuke. Daisuke was literally the only member of the group he looked at and ''immediately'' focused on.

* In episode 34, Hikari trips while the gang is crossing a wobbly bridge. Daisuke tries to catch her, but Miyako beats him to it, and she and Hikari walk off the bridge holding hands, while Daisuke looks crushed like he usually does over Hikari's moments with Takeru.

* It's worth noting that Ken already showed interest in Daisuke when he was the Kaiser. Daisuke is the only one he has meaningful interaction with before the 4-part conclusion of his arc, and he definitely takes a deeper interest in him than he does any of the other Chosen.

* It's probably worth mentioning that in the original Japanese, Ken's agent(?)/professor(?) tries to hook Ken up with his daughter. Ken is definitely not interested.



* While the dub takes this out, Daisuke tells everyone that Ken has always been the kind boy they all know which makes Ken blush.

* For some reason, in the original Japanese, everyone gasps in shock when Daisuke invites Ken to dinner at his house. What, did they automatically assume it was a date?

The very fact that Jogress Evolution only pairs same-gender kids (Daisuke-Ken, Miyako-Hikari, and Daisuke/Davis have many moments, too.

Takeru-Iori) leads to a notably large amount of this vibe in this series.

** When Ken asks to give him some time to think about joining them, Daisuke doesn't get it and acts like he's just been rejected. Kari lectures him for coming on too strong and tells him he needs to take it slow (she would know), while Miyako explains that just because Ken was okay with fighting alongside him doesn't mean he's not intimidated by the prospect of anything deeper. Excellent romantic advice, ladies! Daisuke goes home to worry "what if he doesn't feel the same way?"
** It's worth noting that Ken already showed interest in Daisuke when he was the Kaiser (the [[DubText English dub]] gives us the glorious line "Seeing you squirm is so delicious!"), that Daisuke claimed to have heard Ken's heart talking to him, that Ken only manages to defeat his fear of the Dark Ocean and send Demon there after he hears Daisuke's words of encouragement (with Hikari and Miyako lampshading the process), that they engage in so much SayMyName that there's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_pmIKOp2bA video]] on Website/YouTube teaching about UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics using scenes of their relationship as examples...
** One of the 'insulting' nicknames Ken once used on Davis? 'Pretty boy'.
** In the English dub, Ken refers to Davis' struggling in his traps as "Delicious." And that's not getting into the scene where Davis tackles Ken and they both slide down a hill, with long shots of [[NotWhatItLooksLike Davis riding on top of Ken, staring him down intensely and Ken bouncing below him, staring up at him with a wide, evil grin.]]
** Davis insists that Ken has to live and goes out of his way to make Ken feel included.
** While the dub takes this out Daisuke tells everyone that Ken has always been the kind boy they all know which makes Ken blush.

** Double trouble with Ken: When Ken has been kidnapped by Oikawa and is being used for creating more Dark Spore kids, he calls out for Davis and Wormmon specifically. He calls out for Davis first, who shows up on a Digimon ready to save him like a Knight would save a princess.
** Both boys get the parental seal of approval when they each tell their parents: Davis' parents are starstruck he brought home a celebrity whom they hope will be a good influence on him, and Ken's mom cries happy tears that her son's spending the night with Davis.
* Nothing about Miyako? The blatant, ''[[Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena Utena]]''-inspired flowery fantasies of Mimi, then there's her and Hikari, whose Digimon do a DNA Digivolving after [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything what could be considered a love confession.]]
* Hell, there's even some who see HoYay between Takeru and ''Iori'' (who are [[ToyShip 11 and 9]], respectively). Then again, given the "synchronize our hearts" nature of Jogress evolution/DNA-Digivolution, I guess the HoYay was completely inevitable.

The second episode features the Kaiser capturing an unconscious Daisuke, [[ChainedToARock chaining him to a rock]], taunting him when he wakes up, revealing he took Daisuke's Digivice and D-Terminal from his pockets before he woke up, and torturing him by [[MakeYouWatch forcing him to watch the Kaiser start to brainwash his partner]] as Daisuke begs him to stop.
** The second time the Kaiser tortures him, where he [[KneelBeforeZod forces Daisuke to kneel before him]], is even more HeadTiltinglyKinky. [[DubText In the English dub,]] he even forces Davis to call him "Master", says, "Seeing you squirm is so delicious!" in a ''very'' sensual if not outright sexual tone, and calls him, "Pretty boy." Then Davis tackles Ken and they both slide down a hill, with long shots of [[NotWhatItLooksLike Davis riding on top of Ken, staring him down intensely and Ken bouncing below him, staring up at him with a wide, evil grin.]]

!Ken and Wormmon
* One of the reasons Ken initially isn't happy about Jogress evolution is that he's jealous his partner fused with another Digimon (naturally, the dub changes the dialogue to Ken worrying he lost him forever, which isn't much better).
* When a young Chosen/[=DigiDestined=] girl begins flirting with Ken, Wormmon becomes ''very'' jealous.

!Miyako
* Miyako has
blatant, ''[[Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena Utena]]''-inspired flowery fantasies of Mimi, then Mimi and wants to be just like her.
* Then
there's her and Hikari, whose Digimon do a DNA Digivolving after [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything what could be considered a love confession.]]
* In the dub of their Jogress Evolution scene, after the column of light surrounds them, Kari says, "It's beautiful," and Yolei adds, "Just like you."

!Takeru and Iori
* Hell, there's even some who see HoYay between Takeru and ''Iori'' (who are [[ToyShip 11 and 9]], respectively). Then again, given the "synchronize our hearts" nature of Jogress evolution/DNA-Digivolution, I guess the HoYay was completely inevitable.

inevitable. The very fact that Jogress Evolution only pairs same-gender kids (Daisuke-Ken, Miyako-Hikari, two embrace and Takeru-Iori).
spin around after their partners successfully fuse for the first time.

!Oikawa and Hiroki
* Oikawa's entire motivation is his suspiciously close and later obsessive friendship with Hiroki Hida. They were so close and so deep into their mutual obsession of the Digital World that Hiroki's father thought it best to separate them (now THAT [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything definitely reminds you of something]]). After Hiroki's death, his father recounts how hard he saw Oikawa take it, saying in the dub, "I've never seen anyone so sad in my life." (Keep in mind, this would include himself and Hiroki's widow.) Cody's grandfather now regrets interfering in their relationship and not reaching out to Oikawa after Hiroki's death, clearly recognizing there was something special if not sacred between them.
