Talk:Ryo Akiyama

Tamer/Adventure
With Ryo actually originating from the Adventure universe and crossing to the Tamers, could it be possible that there is a way the DigiDestined or the Tamers could communicate with one another traveling through portals?

Eyes?
"Ryo's eyes changed color from Anode/Cathode Tamer to Digimon Tamers, from brown to blue. Due to Ryo having also showed up in Brave Tamer with blue eyes, so presumably this wasn't a continuity error."

Is this true, and do we want to cover it? 18:57, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

I the poster noticed it from the gamefaqs(.com) pictures of each respective game. Ryo having brown eyes in Anothe/Cathode Tamers (Veedramon Version) is pretty clear from the intro, while Ryo having blue eyes is harder to tell from the pictures from the following games, but it seems to be so. Note that I haven't got the wonderswan games in my posession.

just a show
I don't see how this is possible :O I thought in Tamers, adventures and stuff like that, was just a tv show, and digimon was just a card game as well? So I'm a little confused now.

Ryo Akiyama's Appearance in Digimon Tamers
Ryo Akiyama didn't appear on Digimon Tamers until the 3main Characters such as Takato, Henry wong and Rika Nonaka traveled to the digital world, you can see him around a certain Episode during the series. --(Dan67 15:48, February 13, 2012 (UTC))

Konaka's notes
[quote]Even before I had joined the Digimon Tamers team, there was a character that had already been destined to appear in the third season of Digimon. This was Ryo, the main character of the WonderSwan Digimon game.

As Ryo was a very popular character in Japan, the plan was to draw him into the TV series, as well. However, since Digimon Tamers has a very different world view and continuity from the previous Digimon series, it was difficult to figure out how to introduce him.

I let Mr. Motoki Yoshimura handle all of Ryo's character development, as Ms. Genki Yoshimura was the screen writer for Ryo's first episode. Ryo's refreshingly confident personality doesn't exactly contradict the character from the WonderSwan game, but I still feel that it made him uniquely part of the Digimon Tamers world.[/quote]

[quote]Ryo (WonderSwan game character) This is a character well-known among the child audience, so introduce him as a "very talented digimon tamer" after the mid-point of the series, as a repeated guest character.

Different from the game, Ryo's priority as a TV series character must be heightened, and he must be given his own Partner Digimon. The digimon's power, strength, and heroism should make Ryo all the more attractive.


 * How about Cyberdramon.....?

 * Special Notes- Ideas at this point in time When the Digital World Invasion began (about half a year ago), a young boy who lived in Kyushuu disappeared without a trace. That was Ryo. Long before Takato and friends came to the Digital World, he Digitized himself and explored the Digital World. To a certain extent, he knows about the Digital World and can be guide Takato and his friends. => At the end of the Digital World Chapter, he returns to the Real World and goes back to his home in Kyushuu.

Ryo, Ryo.
''' I find that Ryo appearing in all 3 seasons at some small portion or another to be quite confusing because in Tamers he does not even give hint that he knows anything that ever happened in Adventure and Adventure 02. I think for the entire Digimon seasons they should have connected them all, like they did in seasons 1 and 2. --Digimason71.227.68.142 03:20, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

Dimension jumping
[http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/Ryo_Akiyama?diff=341431&oldid=330680 Kryten? Lanate?] Also, do we want to start a page about the multiverse, or do you prefer to wait until some fiction actually focuses on it? So far, there hasn't been much about the multiverse outside of some characters being able to travel it, summoning other characters from different universes, and MetalFantomon using an energy supply from another dimension's Digital World. 14:47, July 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * I would just have a section on the main Digital World page focusing on interaction between parallel Digital Worlds or other dimensions such as Witchelny. 19:04, July 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * For the movie date, I would either pull it back to just "March 2000" or keep the ref note, but point it specifically at an anchor on the our war game page discussing the timing issue.
 * For the Tamers date...honestly, a major result of relativity is that time and space are basically synonymous, so there's no reason for us to expect that the date in one dimension has any sort of conncetion or conversion to the date in a parallel dimension. For all intents and purposes, traveling through time and traveling through dimensions are the same thing, so the objection to the date we saw on the forums is absurd. We should just state "in 2000 of the Tamers universe" or some equivalent, and to hell with the ref note. 19:08, July 9, 2013 (UTC)

Article Format?
So how exactly do we tackle the format for the Ryo article? It bothers me that this page is lacking in information, and I'm assuming it's because no one is sure how to edit this chronological mess. Even if we take Seki's word on Ryo being one and the same in all three (four?) universes he appears in, which I assume we do, how do we make this a readable page? A great deal of happenings in Ryo's story occur at the same time as others - for example, Ryo watching the Diablomon battle with Ken in Tag Tamers, but watching it in Turkey in Our War Game. Personally, I would split them into different sections on the page - WonderSwan games, Adventure 02 and Tamers - but maybe someone else has a better idea?PinkKabuterimon (talk) 03:15, May 12, 2015 (UTC)
