I present to you a list of CANONOLIGICAL things that the Digimon Sovereigns, Gennai, and ENIAC have done to Ryo that built nothing but RESENTMENT in him for the Chosen Child system, and the gods of the Digital World as a whole.
Digimon Adventure: Anode/Cathode Tamer
Is forced to fight Devimon, Etemon, Myotismon and Piedmon IN SUCCESSION who Millenniummon had resurrected when he created the time slip that allowed him to capture the original DigiDestined.
He AT LEAST had the help of Agumon, Digimon allies he’d befriended, and allies of the DigiDestined, but Ryo had initially naively accepted the call for help not realizing the consequences until after he had been injured by a Shellmon.
Ryo INITIALLY did not have a Digivice or a Digimon Partner that he knew of.
Millenniummon was his destined partner and NO ONE stepped forward to tell him.
Digimon Adventure 02: Tag Tamers
Several MONTHS later calls Ryo back to the Digital World AGAIN.
This time he teams up with VEEMON, and Gennai tells them to fight what is supposedly a Diaboromon clone.
I’m pretty sure Gennai KNEW it was a trap set by Millenniummon to lure Ryo back into the Digital World and sent him in there anyway.
After destroying Millenniummon’s body, Millenniummon said “He can never die and as Ryo's power is eternal, so is his. He then disappeared.”
Digimon Adventure 02: D-1 Tamers
By then Ryo understands that he’s ONLY called to deal with specifically MILLENNIUMMON, and is skeptical when he’s told that Azulongmon has chosen to hold a tournament, where the winner would become his partner because the other 3 Sovereigns had ‘turned evil’.
The original DigiDestined are tricked into taking part, but PRESUMABLY their memories are erased after, due to NO RECOLLECTION of Ryo after he leaves their timeline within their canon anime.
There was a stage of the tournament that required Ryo to SACRIFICE A DIGIMON ALLY and he did so. This haunts him, and will CONTINUE to haunt him.
The Tournament out to be a LIE, and this was a means by the Digimon Sovereigns of training Ryo to defeat Moon-Millenniummon.
Ryo is SELECTIVELY MUTE for the rest of this adventure from the deception.
Upon reaching Millenniummon, he invites Ryo to travel with him through time and space. Ryo ACCEPTS.
Millenniummon’s base explodes, and Ryo is PRESUMED DEAD in the Adventure Universe.
Digimon Tamers: Brave Tamer
Ryo is transported into the past and separated from Millenniummon, awakening with AMNESIA, he is set up with MONODROMON as a partner by ENIAC, the benevolent ruler of the Digital World who exists in multiple timelines at once.
ENIAC KNEW Millenniummon was Ryo’s destined partner, and STILL sent him on a final quest to kill Millenniummon anyway.
Throughout ALL OF THIS Ryo remains mute.
It’s at the end of this game that Ryo FINALLY learns that Millenniummon is his TRUE PARTNER. Monodromon and Millenniummon fight over who gets to be Ryo’s real partner, with Monodromon SACRIFICING himself to force a Jogress Evolution with Millenniummon, turning into the egg that would eventually become Cyberdramon.
ENIAC gives Ryo the CHOICE between returning to the ADVENTURE world, or staying in the TAMER’S world.
Ryo chooses to stay in the TAMER’S WORLD, traumatized and jaded by his experiences in his own world. Presumably, ENIAC arranges for Ryo’s parents to be sent there as well.
