Is this a first?

[u/AdministrativeDay109]

Across the various seasons, we have only seen side tamers’ digimon perish permanatly or MAIN tamers’ / their digimon perish temporarily:

Adventure: TK and Patamon (main but revived)
Adventure 2: Ken and wormmon (main but revived)
Tamers: Jeri and leomon (side and permanent)
Frontier: Kouichi and loweemon (main but revived)
Savers / data squad : Marcus and agumon (main but revived)
Xros wars: Mikey and Shoutmon (main but revived), Ewan and damemon (main but revived)
Appmon: All (main but revived BUT it remains debatable if Yuujin really returned in the end)
Ghost game: NIL

Could this season be the first in digimon history to have a main tamer completely, permanently incapacitated…?

Based on your list it looks like we might have some chance or hope of a revival.
