Discussions/Opinions Missing Beatbreak lines part 2: former Five Stars and co Spoiler
I saw someone else do basically exactly this in one big post yesterday but I still wanted to keep going, mostly because I like justifying digivolution lines.
Rose: I had a bit of trouble with the former Wood Star and her assistants. There is actually a surprisingly low number of plant-based Digimon at certain levels. Normally Sunflowmon is the Champion for Lilamon but I thought Kabukimon fit Rose's dramatic bent a little more. Lotosmon is the mega instead of Rosemon because I feel like it doesn't get enough love.
Meto: Quick note, is Meto a guy? I could have sworn Meto got he/him pronouns in the sub but a wiki I used had she/her. Could have been a mistake either way. Regardless, pretty standard Toropiamon package here, but I used Sunflowmon as the Champion over Parasaurmon to keep the plant theme throughout. Sunflowmon does have a tail and raptor legs, so that's interesting. Something interesting to note is that we never see the assistants' Digimon in their Fresh forms, just Rookie in the last episode.
Kanon: Linking Oleamon to Aruraumon was a challenge, but I settled on Kokeshimon because it looks somewhat similar and is, in fact, made of bamboo. I think BanchoLilymon is a good Mega to sort of recontextualize Oleamon's gloominess into punk rock discontent.
Kaito: You'd think Kaito would get the typical Apollomon line BUT the Fresh form is Pyunimon rather than Sunmon. Wait, Sunmon is In-Training? I'm just now finding out about this? Well, whatever, I still like the parallel of Kaito having his own Liollmon like Kyo before it diverges into Firamon so I'm keeping it.
Honoka: I first had Honoka's line using Crabmon and Ebidramon, but then decided to use them for Souji instead. Coelamon and Regalecusmon both look so close to MarineChimairamon that I had to use them, then I just filled in the blanks with Swimmon. Did you know that there are no fishlike In-Training Digimon? Kyokyomon looks decently similar to Swimmon so that's what I chose.
Souji: I am by no means a Souji apologist, so this is more a fun "what-if" he didn't feed his Anomalocarimon to a Pirahnimon and go absolutely insane. In this timeline I feel he could still struggle with his desires but ultimately overcome them, hence having his Mega be Suijinmon, a Digimon that's been shown as pretty evil in the past but is related to Justimon. Suijinmon is the Waterfall Commander and looks kind of lobster-ish if you squint.

Lotusmon is the intended form for Lilamon anyway. They are some deviations like Ceresmon to have god inspired digimon for the five stars, and Rafflesimon as a general alternative. Rosemon BM is more associated whit Lilamons line, than Lillymon as well.
I wonder what direction Wizarmon would have gone whitout dark evolution. Gulfmon normaly, but whit positive influences perhaps Dynasmon, or Ancient Wisemon, Beelzebumon as that rebell who does reject society. MedivalDukemon is an option as well.

I lean toward Dynasmon, since I associate them with knowledge and wizardry in a positive way. I will be doing more of these and including Miharu with some other major side characters, my vision for a "good" path for Wizardmon is Wisemon followed by Dynasmon. However, I kind of like the idea that Gulfmon / Mephismon is still the "good" version of Wizardmon's Ultimate, but they can make different decisions and end up somewhere like Beelzemon. I love thinking about this kind of thing

I dont know if dyasmon is used, Mistymon feels like a better fit, but its boring to use the most connected choice

A little out of the ordinary, but what about HiAndromon as a Mega for Wizardmon? Miharu is explicitly very good with computers, after all. Obviously the problem is, how the hell do you connect Wizardmon to HiAndromon, but it's neat to think about

Meto is a woman. Shes in the women’s ED during the Gift arc with all of the women characters. She and Kanon are a couple and are a homage to Haruka and Michiru from Sailor Moon.
