I mean, the crests dont all reflect the characters entirely, some of them reflect traits they need to learn to have or to overcome the opposite of that trait. like, TK didn't always have hope and Mimi certainly had to earn her sincerity, but I feel Matt is kinda hard to dictate how he is a friend.

yeah, Matt does jump off the deep end, but it's mainly because he's always worried about the little brother he couldn't be with for a good chunk of his life, like how Tai was reckless when Kari got sick, Matt gets emotional if anything happens to TK.

IMO, Matt's crest is meant to be what Matt NEEDS to have, and he did overcome his distrust of Joe during that episode where they were forced to work the restaurant. friendship is a difficult thing to really put into place. it's not always being nice, sometimes it's being honest with them. hell, when Davis had to earn his egg of friendship it was after he and TK had a straight up fight, which friends sometimes do.

Plus I always got the impression that of the original 7 only Tai and Sora and maybe Joe and Mimi were really friends the rest barely knew and often times only tolerated each other atleast at first anyway.
