** Actually, Tomoki gained the right of one two episode arc focused in him (and a group of random kids) in the start of the final arc. Koichi,thanks to his arc [[spoiler:involving discover he is dead]] never really losed focus, only his focus changed of \\\"fight\\\" to \\\"CharacterDevelopment focus\\\". About Izumi and Junpei, both were less focused than the others of day one, Izumi at least having the saving grace of her rivality (and killing) of Ranamon.
*** Jeez was that a google translated post? Anyway, no don\\\'t try to justify it. For almost all the last 15 episodes, only Takuya and Koji do anything. The others are used to help them evolve and that\\\'s it. They sit around being cheerleaders for all of their small screen time. Where\\\'s at the start, while anyone could tell the focus was slightly more skewed to Takuya and Koji (Since they\\\'re the Hero and Lancer), the others still got a respectable amount of screen time, and actually DID something. Koichi went from Badass to cheerleader as well. The only saving grace of what Frontier pulled is the last 2 episodes.
Quoting the \\\"Just Bugs Me\\\" entry in the DigimonFrontier page: \\\"When you think about it, they\\\'re in exact same role as every other Digidestined in the previous seasons, only they\\\'re more proactive about it half the time, doing things like rescuing a village of helpless eggs and catapulting bolder-sized snowballs as distraction while Kouji and Takuya keep the bad guys busy. Just because they\\\'re not fighting doesn\\\'t mean they\\\'re useless, jeez. \\\" I yet remember of said last arc and beyond this, they at least searched by the digi-code of the castle of Seraphimon . About Koichi, when near all the episodes of the arc have at least a scene advancing the individual character arc of a character, this character is not OutOfFocus- especially if he is only in the group with any CharacterDevelopment in the arc (And said two-episodes arc really is more focused in Tomoki than Takuya or Koji, specially the first of the two).

Like I said above, I probably wouldn\\\'t call them canonical, personally, even if they were advertised as being set in \\\"just another world\\\". [[spoiler:Also, the end of the novels implies that all this happens before the manga, and that the \\\"novel Zearth\\\" probably is the same Zearth from the manga. But aside from the fact we\\\'ve seen that Zearth took another form in the next world, in the last episode of the manga (arguably written long after the novels ended), and that thing about saving as many survivors as possible with Zearth, the novels really make it look like the main characters exist in every world out there (or in most of the worlds Maya and Koyemshi have seen, anyway), and I think that\\\'s... well, a bit on the cheap side.]]
As for Hatagai, [[spoiler:I\\\'d rather believe he was killed before the end of the series. Moji (who decided to stay behind) seems to think the world isn\\\'t necessarily 100% doomed yet. In fact, they\\\'ve received a transmission form New York, which means some might actually be immune to that virus from another world. Anyway, considering how crappy the situation of those survivors is already, I wouldn\\\'t want them to have to deal with a Hatagai on top of that! ^__^;;]]
About Anko\\\'s fight (in the novels)... [[spoiler:Well, it\\\'s an \\\"away fight\\\", and the first thing she notices is that, separating her from her opponent (called \\\"the Lighthouse\\\"... because it looks like a lighthouse), there\\\'s some kind of huuuuuge red carpet on the ground, and lots of big messages in white letters and various languages (including some Anko has never seen before) that are all saying the same kind of stuff, i.e. \\\"please don\\\'t kill us!\\\", \\\"we want to live!\\\", \\\"spare our children!\\\", etc. What a bunch of asshats. Just when the kids think that it\\\'s a bit strange that the people of that world would go through all that trouble instead of taking their chance with their military or something like that... they realize the \\\"carpet\\\" is actually made of living people dressed in red (something Anko can confirm rather easily by looking for the \\\"spots of light\\\"... you know, one of Zearth\\\'s powers). They\\\'re the ones forming those white messages on the ground. Some of them are in chains, some carry guns. There are children, old people, etc. Yay. They even send some radio messages, and you can imagine how Anko loves being told by a very young child \\\"my mother and my little sister are down there, please don\\\'t kill them!\\\" In the end, Anko walks up to the enemy robot while explaining herself and apologizing (courtesy of her father\\\'s TV crew who\\\'s in the cockpit... the whole message would be a bit long to recap). Once she\\\'s reached the robot (that did try to attack and defend itself), she takes care of it rather quickly. Before dying, she just has time to see some of the lights form a little message: \\\"Good luck, Zearth.\\\" (she had told them how their robot was called during her speech... and yes, she had even spelled the name out for them, conveniently enough)]]
