>maybe because they didn't want kids to hate tsumugi
It's the same logic as Dark Chii. They didn't really drop it at last second, but planned it around to make their emotions, and the characters operate separately, as they said in the interview.
Dark Chii was born by Tsumugi's influence at Chii's despair.
What I think that happened though is that before that, Tsumugi's Envy offspringed from her at Gran Prix, created a scenario where Himari would face Tsumugi alone and probably escalate to a "Dark" point. All that with Tsumugi unaware of what she was doing.
I sincerely think that Himari got saved by getting a fever and making Tsumugi go Princess Mode. The Yellow Triangle would so retreat and come back as Mari later.
There are many scenarios, but having this fucking hole of a Gran Prix is indeed funny to think about.
But my mind is working at something like...
>The Yellow Triangle being Tsumugi's envy, that later became Mari
>The Red Triangle being Chii's despair, that turned out into Dark Chii, and later Dark QuaStar.
