** Presumably, there's some benefit to binding the Spirits to human[=/=]Digimon hosts, as Duskmon is the only one truly obedient to him; the four others had their own plans and interests. Alternately: The Ophanimon & Seraphimon / Cherubimon war had been raging far longer than we got to see, with the inclusion of the Spirits being a recent development.

** I always felt that they lost some control while in Beast form. No, the weren't usually animalistic like Burning Greymon but they were prone to overkill and were gruffer. For pure combat, they were excellent but they seemed to lack in utility more than the Human forms. Also, in my head, the power level of their Human forms, the most used, were equal to the the Beast forms, the most naturally strong, due to their experience.

* If all of the 10 Warriors have a level where they combine both Spirits, as shown in the cards, why do only two of the cast get to use it? It’s not like the remaining four couldn’t stand getting a power-up to remain relevant. Especially Tokomi and Izumi who seem near incapable of winning at all without back-up. Don’t [[SpotlightStealingSquad Takuya and Koji]] get enough of the limelight when they use everyone else’s powers to reach their final levels without the forms that they only use two or three times?
* The whole “Human/Beast Digimon” divide never made sense. To start with, the distinction makes no sense given how radically Digimon morphology varies. I mean, where do you draw the line when anthropomorphic animal-people are some of the most common types around? Just looking at the main cast: a walking snow teddy bear is Human while a winged lingerie model with weird hands and feet is apparently a Beast. The distinction is completely arbitrary. We’re not even getting into things like machine and object Digimon or the numerous indistinct blobs that would not fit either category. Not that it would really matter given how radically a Digimon’s forms shift through their digivolutions, meaning that most of them have shifted between both groups. Now, I could understand if the plan was to use these logic holes to show why the prejudice was nonsensical as an allegory to racism, but it just doesn’t work here because series didn’t build the setting to make it seem like an actual part of the culture since there really isn’t any sort of Digital World culture outside of random villages. It wasn’t even really used outside of the single movie. Why bother putting it in the series at all if it added so little and has so many logical holes that don’t fit the franchise?

* Why are Koji and Kouichi’s voices so different but they are 12 year old identical twins, shouldn’t their voices sound similar. I may be alone but Kouichi voice just sounded to deep if they wanted to show the boys were different why not ask Koji’s voice actor to make his Koji voice slightly different for Kouichi, and well give the show some time to show that the boys are different.

** As obnoxious as the favoritism got, Takuya and Koji did represent a culmination of half the powers of the warriors in their "Mega" forms. If they were losing, then trying to attack by splitting the powers up would almost certainly fail.

* Why didn't the DigiDestined try different tactics against the Royal Knights other than "Takuya and Koji do everything and get their asses kicked"? Like, why didn't they summon Mercurymon, have him evolve into Sukkakumon, and use him against the Royal Knights? Better yet, summon Mercurymon and the other three formerly evil warriors, have them use their beast spirits(with the DigiDestined beast spirit evolving too), and take on each of the Royal Knights five-to-one? It's really cliche when a certain faction is evil, they're hella powerful, but when that faction becomes good, they don't use any of the strength or resources they had when they were evil.
