My opponent activates EX3-053 [Metallicdramon]'s ＜On Play＞ effect. Can I digivolve an unsuspended [Koji Minamoto] using this card's "[Koji Minamoto]: Cost 2" digivolution requirement in the next turn?
Yes, you can. Because you're digivolving from a Tamer, it isn't considered an unsuspended Digimon.

Can I activate P-104 [Mental Training]'s ＜Delay＞ effect and digivolve using this card's "[Takuya Kanbara]: Cost 2" digivolution requirement in the next turn?
No, you can't. P-104 [Mental Training]'s ＜Delay＞ effect digivolves 1 Digimon. It doesn't digivolve Tamers.

If I use this Digimon's ＜When Digivolving＞ effect to digivolve into [AncientGarurumon], then it digivolves or is affected by ＜De Digivolve＞, what happens to the "delete this Digimon at the end of this turn" effect?
Digimon carry over effects after digivolving or de-digivolving, therefore it's deleted at the end of the turn.

This Digimon has a Tamer card in its digivolution cards, and I used its ＜When Digivolving＞ effect to digivolve into [AncientGarurumon], then it was affected by a ＜De Digivolve＞ effect and became a Tamer. Does the "delete this Digimon at the end of this turn" effect delete this Tamer at such times?
No, it isn't deleted because it's no longer considered a Digimon.

I used BT3-109 [Back for Revenge!] on this Digimon, then I used this Digimon's ＜When Digivolving＞ effect to digivolve into [AncientGarurumon]. After this Digimon is deleted at the end of this turn, does BT3-109 [Back for Revenge!]'s effect play this card or [AncientGarurumon] into the battle area?
Digimon carry over effects after digivolving, therefore it plays [AncientGarurumon].

I have a situation where I have my "BT17-023 KendoGarurumon" with "BT18-088 Takuya Kanbara & Koji Minamoto" as its digivolution card. At the End of Turn, I attacked with the [When Attacking] effect of "BT18-088 Takuya Kanbara & Koji Minamoto" and "BT17-023 Galummon" evolved into this card with the [When Attacking] effect of "BT17-023 Galummon". At this time, if this card's [When Digivolving] effect evolved into "Ancient Garurumon", will that "Ancient Garurumon" be deleted by this card's effect, although the timing of the end of turn has already passed?
No, it is not deleted. Effects that are processed when a specific timing is reached are processed as triggered when the timing is reached. If the Digivolved by this card's effect at the end of the turn, the "Delete this Digimon at the end of this turn" of this card is not processed because the timing to be at the end of the turn has passed.
