Here are another 8 posts of the birthday announcement of various Pop'n Music characters from 10/6 - 10/13

Well, I admit it stroke me as weird too, but taking in consideration Blitzmon is from the Metal Empire I can see him in opposition to Steel, more than Ground honestly. If Blitzmon turns to be black/green in the new BT from June, the matching would be confirmed.

And am I complaining????? Mercurymon is into theatre, Junpei is into opera. The Takuya VS Blackseraphymon battle has got no longer sense to me any more when we could get two men of stage fighting and understanding each other about “acts” , “finale”. THEY GET IDEAS TOO LATE WHEN IT COMES TO JUNPEI, OK, I’M TELLING YOU.

I wonder if Junpei would have a rivalry with Teruo ngl. Teruo looks a bit lame to me, but I can imagine him being, idk, a COUNTER-TENOR Junpei suddenly meets on stage.

Hm. Seen that those four guys are shown as bullies (especially the boys, I think we never see Chiaki bully anyone), I am not the biggest fan of this idea. But I see two possible scenarios.

Scenario 1: Cherubimon's spirits were just given to randos and do evil stuff, like we see it in the actual series. And with Koji of course having a corrupted version of his Spirit of Light, with Kouichi / Löwemon freeing him. Maybe it's Koji and Koichi instead of Koji and Takuya who receive the Hyper Spirit Evolution. (What would I give to see a Hyper Spirit Evolution for Koichi! :D ) In fact, rather than any of the others, I would have Koichi take over Takuya's role as leader here. He might be shy, but he is also very nice, no bully, calm and rather thinks before acting. In the course of the journey he could very well grow into that role too. And if he with Koji was the two heavy hitters of the team, it would make for such a beautiful yin/yang. Speaking of Koji: He's the only original Digidestined to make the train, Takuya and the rest miss theirs. But because he was alone and his Spirit in possession of Cherubimon, with Koji no way of obtaining it and defending himself, he quickly fell into Cherubimon's grasp and got corrupted by him.

Scenario 2: Instead of randos, the original Digidestined still were brought to the Digital World and received corrupted versions of their spirits. The others have to rescue and purify them. So that in the end, we have the full team of 10 Digidestined and 10 Legendary Warriors taking on first Cherubimon and then Lucemon. I would have loved to see that in the original series. Koichi and Koji might still be the two primary heavy hitters, but Takuya might be like a secondary leader to Zoe, JP and Tommy. That would make for a great chance to have the Digidestined receive a ask where they do need to split up into two groups. And so that both have a Hyper Spirit Evolution, Koji might still join Takuya's team like in the original series.

If Cherubimon and Lucemon both dish out the right minions, meaning strong enough ones, it could also happen in both scenarios that all Digidestined receive a Hybrid Spirit Evolution, not just the leads.

Also in both scenarios, it would be inherently important that Katsuharu, Teppei and Teruo shed their bully personas, if they are really the same as they are in the original. I could very well see something dire happening in the course of their journey that opens their eyes in that regard. Like, when they selfishly don't help some Digimon and afterwards have to deal with the consequences. Or maybe one of them almost dying. Or maybe their Spirits refusing to activate when they need to digivolve after doing something selfish/stupid/awful, only letting the kids do so after they see the error of their ways. And Koichi might also be there to hammer some decency into their heads.

What's not so easy to answer is: Would those four have new forms of their spirits? Because we never learn wether the other Spirits were corrupted in the same way as Duskmon was. But since Spirits do adapt to those that wield them, there might be slight changes. At the very least, Calmaramon would be a lot prettier, fitting Chiaki's nicer personality compared to whatever evil mon wields Ranamon's Spirit in the original.

Also in both scenarios I see some conflict for Koichi, where he has to learn to be comfortable with wielding the Spirits of Darkness. That he has to learn what Patamon told him on the train: That darkness isn't inherently evil. Maybe in the course of his clashes with Koji, Cherubimon does try to corrupt him (singling out Koichi exactly because his element is Darkness), also conjuring memories of Koichi's painful past (like in the original). But when Koichi realises that Darkness can be good, he overcomes that attempt, maybe even climaxing into him finally freeing Koji. And since the twins would have much more screentime together than in the original, they would grow a really close bond over the course of their adventure.

Oh, and I almost forgot: In both scenarios, Koichi would not trip on the stairs, make it in time but instead of the same train with Koji, he ends up on the train with the other four, barely making it onto it. That's how I see him getting to the Digital World.
