Blitz lets a Digimon attack the turn it hits the board, as long as your opponent has at least 1 memory when you declare. That timing check is the whole skill: play your Blitz attacker while the memory is still on their side, then spend the rest of your turn freely, because once the attack is declared it goes through even if memory swings back. Lines built around Blitz are about squeezing an extra security check out of a turn your opponent thought was over.
16-16-1. <Blitz> is a keyword effect where a Digimon with this effect can attack if your opponent has 1 or more memory. 16-16-2. <Blitz> effects execute processing. 16-16-3. <Blitz> has a processing condition that requires the memory to be at 1 or more on your opponent's side. "This Digimon may attack" is optional processing. 16-16-4. After using <Blitz> to make an attack declaration, the attack will proceed even if the memory moves to 0 or more. 16-16-5. An attack can't be made using <Blitz> if the memory is at 0 or more upon activating <Blitz>.

From Bandai's card rulings. Each links to the card it was asked about.
If my Digimon has an effect "＜When Digivolving＞ ＜Blitz＞." but is not currently activating the effect of ＜Blitz＞. Is it possible to attack my opponent's unsuspended Digimon?
No, the effect requires you to be currently attacking with ＜Blitz＞.
asked about ZeigGreymon (BT5-017)
I have this card in the battle area. An opponent's Digimon digivolved into a Digimon card that has ＜Blitz＞, and I now have 1 or more memory. Can that Digimon use ＜Blitz＞ to attack at such times?
No, it can't attack. This card's ＜All Turns＞ effect will activate as soon as you have 1 or more memory, therefore none of your opponent's Digimon can suspend, and they can't attack unless they can suspend.

＜All Turns＞ When my Digimon with the [Free] would be deleted other than by one of my effects during my opponent's turn, I used this card's ＜All Turns＞ effect to digivolve that Digimon into EX3-063 [Imperialdramon: Dragon Mode]. Can I then use ＜Blitz＞ in EX3-063 [Imperialdramon: Dragon Mode]'s ＜When Digivolving＞ effect to attack?
No, you can't. Only the turn player can attack. In this case, your EX3-063 [Imperialdramon: Dragon Mode] can't attack because it isn't your turn.

I attacked using BT5-086 [Omnimon]'s ＜Blitz＞ and unsuspended it using the other ＜When Digivolving＞ effect. After the attack ends, can I use this card's ＜End Your Turn＞ effect to attack again?
Yes, you can. If BT5-086 [Omnimon] digivolves during the main phase, you can use the ＜End Your Turn＞ effect to attack again after the attack from ＜Blitz＞ ends.

If the [Gallantmon] digivolved by this card's ＜End Your Turn＞ effect has ＜Blitz＞, can I activate it?
＜Blitz＞ can activate as long as your opponent has 1 or more memory when you would activate the effect.
Ruled Sep 6, 2024 · asked about Takato Matsuki (BT17-080)
Does "when an effect suspends" in this card's ＜Your Turn＞ effect trigger when an attack declaration is made for a Digimon and it's suspended using an effect such as ＜Blitz＞ or an "attack using X" effect?
No, it doesn't. Suspending from an attack declaration is due to the rules, therefore it doesn't trigger "when an effect suspends X" effects.
Ruled Sep 6, 2024 · asked about Rhythm (BT17-089)
When the memory moves to 3 or more on my opponent's side while this card's inherited effect is activated, does ＜Blitz＞ allow for attacking?
No. ＜Blitz＞ still requires the memory to be at 1 or more on your opponent's side for attacking. Attacking is possible when your opponent's memory is at 1 or more.
Ruled Sep 6, 2024 · asked about Fenriloogamon (BT17-069)
This card's ＜When Digivolving＞ effect placed a [BT10-016]/[Jesmon (X Antibody)] as a digivolution card, then that card's ＜When Digivolving＞ effect played a [BT6-082]/[Sistermon Blanc], then I activated ＜Blitz＞ in this card's ＜When Digivolving＞ effect to attack, and when the ＜When Attacking＞ effect deleted one of my opponent's Digimon, my [BT6-082]/[Sistermon Blanc] was deleted by the ＜On Deletion＞ effect of the opponent's Digimon. [BT6-082]/[Sistermon Blanc]'s ＜On Play＞ effect hasn't activated yet, so does it activate?
No, it doesn't. [BT6-082]/[Sistermon Blanc]'s ＜On Play＞ effect is triggered, but it doesn't activate because the card is deleted before it activates.
