So, you're ignoring me. Well, fuck it, I'm used to it by this point. Have fun.
Not ignoring you, I was just popping in for 5 minutes to answer that, I was planning on responding now, you know, RPG isn't my only concern at the moment.
Anyway, my thinking behind him becoming Imperialdramon, as far as the PTSD works, is that, well, he had nothing to do with the Royal Knights incident. As an idea that came to me whilst out earlier, I was thinking that it would actually work for some character development. Specifically, doing what I had planned on doing in the last one with Beelzemon. Since he is now wearing the face of a mass murderer, naturally, the first time he is used, he thinks nothing of it until everyone fucking explodes at him about it. Then, in the next encounter where, really, it would help out a lot if he became Imperialdramon again, but he chooses not to, afraid that everyone is going to explode at him again. Naturally, he's going to be afraid. It's a proven fact that children often inherit their parents phobia's. So, if the people he looks up to scream at him for doing something that comes naturally, E.G. Curiosity about something dangerous, then they are going to get scared. Once bitten, twice shy.
Secondly, there is more than 1 of each Digimon in the world. Therefore, this is a completely different Imperialdramon. It's not "Resurrecting Hitler" as everyone seems to be yelling about it's just "Resurrecting an austrian bloke with the Charlie Chaplin mustache." In the end, it'll boil down to Denmon coming to terms with this and saying "I don't care if you think this is evil, I am me, not some asshole that looks like me. He never affected me, so, whilst I can, i'm going to use this form to do some good in the world."
