Non-main protagonist/deuteragonist anime characters feeling unsupported
Look, a lot of us love the main protagonist anime characters and Bandai has figured out that those sets tend to do well. They've done a main protagonist set like once a year now since BT12 (Across Time, Secret Crisis, World Convergence, and Digimon Generation). Each time was under the guise of a theme, such as the Hunters finale or the movies. Sometimes the deuteragonist gets love too from them. Bandai isn't going to stop this trend. You know they're probably cooking up a main character set next year.
However, it does feel like the ensemble characters are not getting supported to stand on their own. It felt like the ADVENTURE trait was a slippery slope. Instead of getting a Biyomon that cared about ADVENTURE and Birds, it just cares about ADVENTURE. Now it feels like the same is happening to DATA SQUAD and BEATBREAK. At least the Data Squad characters had their own archetypes back then. The Beatbreak characters never had that chance. I wish they had just made a Gekkomon deck instead of a Beatbreak deck. It's taking the thunder away from Pristimon and Chiropmon.
Do you think we will ever see ensemble characters stand on their own again?
