he's afraid, always. he's afraid hes going to do something wrong. he's afraid hes going to hurt the digimon, afraid he's going to hurt people. he's afraid he's going to lose agumon, afraid kari's going to get sick again. he's afraid he'll lose her, he's afraid it'll be his fault. he's afraid the darkness is going to win. he's afraid the people won't understand the digimon, and the digimon won't understand the people. he's afraid they'll go to war. he's always afraid. but he stands and he fights. he fights against his fears and he never gives in to them, and that is why he was chosen for courage.
