After the episode aired, Aoi Tada posted a photo of a Terriermon plush to celebrate her appearing as Terriermon in Ghost Game, which no doubt came as a surprise to many, as she retired from taking anime roles many years ago. Her attached message:
Haha~. Were you surprised?

When it was announced Leiji Matsumoto passed, posts from all over anime and manga appeared, as you'd expect. One slightly more personal to Digimon fans appeared from Kenji Watanabe (2). The image at first appeared to be Botamon crying. But the text of the tweet and the next, reveals it may be someone else, along with what is likely the inspiration for Botamon's design (The Conductor from Galaxy Express 999), and a bit of a message suggesting it's what inspired him to design in the first place
It was the starting point for character creation...
Leiji Matsumoto, may you rest in peace...


Digimon Fan Meetup was this weekend (and continues on Sunday) and social media has had a number of photos...

Kenji Watanabe journeyed to Los Angeles to sign at the event, and has been posting images and message (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7). He was joined by Fumiya Kobayashi from Plex, who was in charge of art direction for Appmon, the Pendulum Z, the Vital Bracelet, & Seekers. Watanabe's photos have generally been of the venue, things at the event, and from his room. The messages:
I'm in Los Angeles.
It's very cold.
It's already nighttime(^^)
The weather is bad in Los Angeles today. It's cold. I'm heading to the venue soon.
Today's autograph session is over. Thank you very much for coming!
Samples, well done. Looking forward to them.
It's time for autographs, but the time has changed from what it says on the website. Please come here to the venue.
Today's autograph session has also ended. Thank you very much!

Director Kakudou commented on Watanabe going to the USA, mentioning it sounds like fun. Watanabe responded with:
It's the second Day~ I'm about to enter the venue. Overseas fans are very passionate.
Kakudou ended the conversation with: It's a great opportunity to meet people from other countries, please have fun~

Head to a Digimon fan meetup. I am looking forward to meeting you all.
A guidebook was delivered to the venue

Digimon Web has been posting various photos and updates (2) (3) (4) (5) throughout the event, especially regarding changes to the autograph signing (the line for Watanabe was apparently so long before the second signing today they formally cancelled it so people would stop showing up, as the line was massive before they began it. It appears people in line did get autographs, they just were trying to get people to stop showing up.)
