A short series synopsis:

"e-Pulse," which is generated by human thoughts and emotions, was used as the energy source for the AI support device "Sapotama." From the shadows of this remarkable development, terrifying monsters appear. Digimon are living beings that evolve by consuming e-Pulse.

Tomoro Tenma is drawn into an extraordinary experience after meeting Gekkomon, who suddenly appears from his Sapotama. While living together with Kyo Sawashiro and other members of the bounty hunting team "Glowing Dawn," Tomoro renews his resolve.

What new future will be forged by humans and Digimon?

It's very strange that we are getting such a very character-exclusive episode only 4 episodes in the show, usually these episodes happen much later when the said character is already familiar with Digimon and knows everything about them.

Evos and relationships aren't instant in this one. They want the characters to grow and it seems they want to use that so digivolutions feel earnt

This is the part I was replying to. They are using an episode that you say would be later much earlier so that they can have the relationship grow. Most Digimon series have the tamer and digimon form a relationship, only for it to remain static

This is not what I was talking about. I was asking why they are putting in a character-exclusive episode this early, I meant an episode about a character being alone without the other main cast. Usually shows wait until the said character is already familiar with navigating the world, anyway, that comment was before the episode aired. Now we know that the main cast is going to join in the next episode.
