Mari-San's Yamato Ishida Shrine V.02 Blur

Matt-osis

(Mari-San is dressed in a nurse outfit) *sweatdrop* Don't ask. Anyhoo, lemme take a look at you... Let's see, hmm... turn your head please... and-- Oh! My, you've just gotten infected by -- *dum dum dum!* Matt-osis! Oh dear, you might want to see the doctor right away. *yells*Oh Dr. Adishi! We've got another victim-- er, I mean patient, in our hands...

(Mari-San quickly changes into a doctor's outfit) Ugh! Another one? *giggles* Well, of course. This is a Matt site, isn't it? Okay, let me see... *squints* Mmm-hmm, it definitely is Matt-osis. Oh, don't be alarmed. It's really a good thing. It's just something you get when you are an excessive fan of Yamato Ishida. Why, the webmistress has it herself! ^_^ *Mari-San twitches*

Here are some symptoms that show if you have this cool disease. Research is currently being done, so more will be added as results show up. And... of course, my comments in parentheses. ^_~

Approaching the Obsessed

Here is a weird little section. ^_^;; Things you never, EVER say to a Yama fan. If you do, prepare to face the consequences...

Symptoms

Here are the symptoms thought up of me, Mari-San, or otherwise known as Dr. Adishi, M.A.T.T. I put them in categories because I was bored, plus to make it look a bit more 'professional.'

Categories Listed

1. Show's Themes (openings and closings)

2. The Other DigiDestined 

3. Drawing Matt 

4. Music World

5. Digimon, TV Shows and Movies (also consists of commercials)

6. Your Daily Life 

7. A Yama Plushie 

Category: About the Show's Themes... 

- In the beginning when they're falling into the letters in the background, you think Matt's "spinning/falling scene" is definitely the best. (Heck yah! ^_^) 

- You even try to copy his falling pose on your couch while watching. You bend your knees and arms, making the same facial expression and everything. You even try to spin around... (*sweatdrop* Well, just a little bit...)

- You're upset that they placed him third. You exclaim "3RD!!? And AFTER Sora!?! Hmph. Her Digimon don't even have cool 3D Digivolving scenes... Oooh, sure, give the main female a break!" (Hee hee. ^_^)

- You tilt your head while Matt is spinning. (... *goofy grin*)

- You memorize what letters are in the background in only Matt's part.

- In the part where the kids are going to the island full speed (when Devimon ruled it) you say aloud "Matt, be careful! Don't hit your head."

- You think he looks so kawaii in that part. (I sure do.)

- You also say "See! Look at him. He's so determined. He's not afraid!"

- You change the lyrics to the show to fit Matt's theme. 

- When they show the kids w/ their Digimon in the old theme, you happily squeal when it shows Matt and Garurumon in the forest. 

- Ditto for the new one, where it shows Matt and WereGarurumon.

- You try to imitate that determined pose too. (It's easy. Just look like your walking with a determined grin.)

- You go "Yeah!!" every time it shows Matt or his Digimon. (I do that!) 

- You've downloaded both the American AND Japanese movie theme songs just for looking at the different Matt scenes.

- You have pictures of Matt in the theme song using your digital camera or screen capture thing. 

- You try to get a 'better look' of Matt in the 02 Theme by moving your head trying to see behind Davis. (*looks sheepish*)

- You squeal in the 02 Theme when they show Matt's crest floating around. 

- Your eyes never blink at the first 01 ending "I Wish." You just keep sight of Yama gliding across the screen.

- In the second 01 ending, "Keep On", you know the faces he makes when he's in that little, circle-y, thing. 

- You can do that synchronized. (O_o)

- In the beginning of that ending, you can catch the name "Ishida" fly around at the blink of an eye.

- You're obsessing over why they make Matt and WereGarurumon run the slowest. (For Pete's sake, they made JOE faster! No offense Joe fans. ^^;)

- You catch his harmonica floating around and remember what what scene it was in fron of. (*instinctively* Princess Mimi's bedroom.)

Category: About the other DigiDestined...

-You refer to them as "Matt's friends," or "the others." 

-You think of them that way. 

-When another character is talking, you look around the screen saying "Where'd Matt go?"

- When all of them are depressed or sad, all you do is say "Poor Matt."

- If someone else does something great, you go "Alright, Matt!! You da man!" (Heh heh... that's kinda sad though.)

- You were mad at all the other kids for letting Matt run away in the forest in "Playing Games."

- You groaned at the part where Matt was about to leave in "The Ultimate Clash" when TK was sad about Matt leaving, saying "What am I gonna do without you, Matt?" since TK also said "Hey, I've grown up now" in the episode "Playing Games." (Make up your mind, TK.)

- If one of the DigiDestined is talking, say... Tai is, you look around the screen saying "Move Tai. I wanna see Matt. Gosh, where is he? *looks around s'more* Oh, there he is. Yay!!"

- You're mad at the new 02 kids thinking that they made your Yama go away (NEWSFLASH! Not the 02 kids, but the Tamers. Gyah! O_O)

- You're starting to like Iori and Ken more since they have the Matt eyes.

- You're starting to warm up to Ruki cuz she's a rebellious renegade too. (Yeah yeah, she's a Tamer, not a DigiDestined. I know that. =P)

- You think it's funny that the seiyuu who voices Gabumon (Yamaguchi Mayumi) also does the voice of Lee Jenrya from Tamers. (I just find that tickling. ^_~ I heard Lee say 'Daijoubu' and I went hysterical.)

~ Symptoms by Dr. Petal Pixie

1. You change the name of the STYX song (Domo-arigato, Mr. Roboto) to say 'You're so very hot-o, Mr. Yamato' and then end up singing it for the rest of the day.

2. You buy letter beads to make a 'Yamato' necklace.

3. You look at all the couples names that involve Yamato (Mimato, Taito) and then decide the one you like the best is the one that involves your name (ex. Tineato/Yamatine)

4. Your friend mentions that Tai and Matt would be perfect together, so you get all defensive and call her favourite character homosexual. ("I'm so serious! Taichi and Yamato and Taichi would be soooo good together." "Yeah, well. Jyou and Koushiro would be good together too.")

5. You seriously discuss the philosophy of Digimon, saying things like "Matt would be soooo good looking if he was real."

6. You can say "I wanna bleach my hair..." and your friend will know right away that what you want to do is dress up like Yama and have a picture taken.

7. You compare every guy to Matt, and then come to the conclusion that nobody that cool/nice could be real. Then that makes you depressed.
