The fact that all the leads Digimon evolved into darkness one time comes of the fact that their weaknesses come to light and their development reach their all time low. Since the humans have a direct effect on digimon, those 'dark digivolutions' is an effect on this.
Just think about it; Taichi was developing faster than the others and found his crest first. As a result, the jerk-side and overconfident side of him that was shown every now and then came to light and developed more and moree until he was forced to face the consequences. It was an experience that was very valuable to him and a mile-stone for further development.
Takato was always a very emotional kid, more than all the other leads. His connection to to his digimon (dunno how to spell him) was stronger than the others as it was the only one that went both ways, as was seen every now and then when he felt hits or would just brake out in very uncharacteristic rage fits during a fight. So when he saw Leomon die after everything else that happened, his emotions went haywire and wargrowlmons rage took over. However from this point on, he started to learn how to keep his cool in dramatical situations.
As for Takuya ... that was a development point not only for him, but for all the characters as they all had to learn how to control their beast forms (except for that girl whatever her name was). I guess the one thing it did was to strengthen their will, but other than that ... I dunno ^^'
I never actually got to the point where Masaru messed up, so I can't tell ....
Daisuke was probably just to stupid, lighthearted and never got into a situation that would trigger such a digivolution (no really, he was the only lead that actually had straw for brain! Heck even Takeru would have been a better leader than him). He never actually had to face a death, never pondered about things and always looked at the bright side of life. And since there was hardly any such thing as CHARACTERDEVELOPMENT in adventure 02, he just stayed that way for over 50 episodes. So he never messed up that badly, but since you don't learn if you don't mess up every now and then, that might now be the best thing ...
Zero Two was awesome when I first saw it (Eng dub), then I saw the original and realized just how much was edited to try and make sense, and noticed all the plot holes.
Also noticed that, like you said, nobody had any character development...or CHARACTER, for that matter. Everyone except Ken were as flat as a board.
My favorite characters being Ken and Takeru, I sort of had this "well, I kind of like Zero Two, but I kind of don't like it" feeling about it.
Oh yeah, don't get me started on the plotholes. There were to many to count.
While were at it, did you know that the Dark Ocean plot that was never really explained was made the same director that made Tamers (and while were at it some really disturbing horror animes)? He also directed that one episode in the first season when Taichi was sent home all on his own. His name Chiaki Konaka if I remember correctly. And in my opinion, Tamers is all the way up there with 01. He really wanted to have the Digimon project, but he was only allowed to have it if he managed to put the stuff they were selling (cardgame; digivice; etc) into the show as much as possible and he really made lemonade out of lemons.
Well, back to 02. I pretty much only watched this one for two reasons; I was shipping Takeru and Hikari REEEAAALLLLYYY hard and I had a little crush on Taichi (yeah, I was still a little kid back then
Yep; I wish that the guy that wrote the Dark Ocean plot stuck around. I had heard that episode 13 was written by someone else, and it's one of my favorite episodes.
Tamers was awesome because of the dark undertones that made it feel more, I dunno...I guess real, or that there's definitely a crisis situation happening.
I would have loved it if Zero Two focused more on the Dark Ocean and everything around it.
I like to say that there are so many plot holes in Zero Two that you can fly a 747 through them.
I'm also a Takari shipper (even though I'm not a fan of Hikari's character, and though I had jumped aboard the Kenyako train way back when, after looking at it again a few years later, I honestly couldn't see any hints towards that pairing in the show besides Miyako having a celebrity crush on Ken.
Still, with everything said, we should never forget that Digmon is originally a kids show for boys between the age of 5 or 6 and 12/13 at most. I'm not sure if a lot of the stuff they showed in Tamers is really all that suited for kids. Sure, it's the most awesome for us for various reasons, but for kids it might just be a little too dark. I can think of a lot of stuff that could give them nightmares (Just thinking about the fake Juri gives even me the creeps and I'm 18). When I think about where the dark ocean plot might have gone ... Besides, kids don't care about character development, they want to see adventure and action. So even though 02 would be the worst for elder teens and grown ups and tamers the best, it's still perfect for the group it intended to hit.
And WHY didn't Hikari and Takeru get married in the epilouge v.v
