#EVEN THIS MOVIE OPENING SCENE RESAMBLES HURRICANE TOUCHDOWN OPENING LIKE GOSH

[digitalgate02]

I mean, Ukkomon can melt so I was playing with the idea of him being able to be able to take any shape he wants to (back in February) and it was a thought like "what if he can do that... but it looks more like a Gooigi sort of appearance" (Rui definitely forbid him doing that in public, but he accepts Ukkomon taking any form he wants to at home. Especially cat-shaped Ukkomon because Rui was converted into the cat life by Hikari)

Two Ukkomons would just give Rui a very tiny panic (i mean can he deal with two digimon like Wallace does?) -- but in Wallace's perspective that's not a big deal?

I really feel Rui and Wallace have a lot in common in role perspective, but we don't know much about Wallace's background besides vague ideas of his family (his mom being chubby, and whoever Amy is -- probably Wallace has a sis or it's a cousin, idk) meanwhile we got a good glimpse of Rui's family & life (including... erm, that part of his life too) but they're were also living stuck in denial caused by an unfortunate digi-event in their lives (Wallace briefly meeting Gummy & Choco and then Choco just getting infected by a mysterious virus in 1995; and Rui... well, that horror fuel scene in March 2003 ) and they also overcame said denial because of their short contact with the 02 kids (srsly, Daisuke really has a thing for sad boys who have lots of trauma and coping mechanisms) so they manage to solve their own main issue with their mons and their mons got back into egg state.

The funniest part of this combo is how much deceptive BOTH Wallace and Rui are initially. I love how they try so hard to not keep peeps getting involved in their own businesses, but turns out both cases those people were already involved there so they had to give up and tell them the real story, show their real selves and then get Motomiya Daisuke telling them something insightful and smart to make them open their eyes and solve their own endless dilemma...?

Yet, they do still feel like they... They can be an interesting, intriguing Jogress combo because i see Wallace can help Rui to deal with raising Ukkomon's egg -- I mean, Chocomon is back and fully hatched! He's like, the best figure for that (sorry Dai, I know the blonde boyo gets on your nerves but listen...!!). As for what Rui can help him in return, i guess to have someone who deeply understands the pain of losing a beloved one... And possibly working as Wallace's emotional support maybe?

I like to imagine Gummy-Choco teaching things to Ukko, things they learned through time and help the unhinged clione to behave and don't do anything bad. Wallace and Rui just bonding over their own experiences and perhaps make Daisuke go nuts with the idea of Wallace teaching wrong things to Rui (but HEY. both Wallace and Rui seem to like to tease Daisuke, so...)

Maybe at the first instance Rui and Ukkomon are like "?????????????? what" because Wallace and the twin-mons do not seem like the type of people who would get along with, but give them a few moments alone together and they might figure things out!? Especially if we consider the idea of... uh, Wallace being possibly the second kid in the world who got partnered with a digimon. I suspect Wallace met his mons in 1995 but got no digivice (it wasn't a partnership, just like the Koromon Taichi & Hikari met in the same year), and in the same year, he lost Chocomon -- Wallace does not mention when his mom got the egg, but he mentioned WHEN Chocomon disappeared... -- So in 1996, months after Rui, he might have gotten the second digivice in the world...?

"But the models are different..." Maybe it was the very first unit of the definitive™ version of the digivices...? idk... I'm still working on this 🤔 (also trying to make Maki-Daigo work with this as well...)

(if this got too long i'm sorry orz)

what if Wallace and Rui were… Jogress Partners--
