"Mmm, everything in the Digital World is made of data. When I was there, I was data too. And my friend Jenrya figured out that we could change just a little bit of what was real there for us by believing it. Like we didn't need to eat if we didn't think about eating."

Which may help to explain why Takato had struggled so much with the illusion training.
