In the manga version of 02, Kari doesn't get angry or tired of Davis as in the anime. In fact, in Volume 2, Kari winks at Davis and tells him, "That's a great plan, Davis."
Other Notes
- In the English dub in general, Davis is depicted as having a huge crush on Kari, and is often jealous when Kari talks to other boys (especially T.K.). However, this was not always the case in the Japanese version, where his crush was a bit more toned down (instead, though Hikari seemed aware of it at times she also seemed to be a bit oblivious to it.)
Speculation
- Davis seems to have a huge crush on Kari in the beginning of the series. However at some point he isn't as crazy about Kari letting us think that his crush on Kari isn't as big as it originally was. This could however just be a sign of him maturing. Additionally, Kari slowly begins to take note of Davis continuing to mature and takes him more seriously as a strong component of the team.
- In the original, it is implied that Davis is more possessive of Kari as a friend more than as a romantic interest. However, he may also have a crush on her there as well, though it seemed much more toned down than what it was in the dub version.
- Seeing as Kari was not involved in Davis's illusion inflicted by MaloMyotismon, and that Davis says that there is nothing he desires as of that point, it can be assumed he either loses his crush on Kari or never really had one in the first place. On the other hand it could just be another sign of his maturity in that he may have thought there were things more important than the crush at that time. It may particularly be because in the Japanese version the crush was a lot more toned down than in the dub, which exaggerated his crush at times.
