I kinda dig the idea of an unsteady alliance between Copen and Eden going into the iX timeline. Not only because of the semi symmetry, but also because this Copen would start out by possibly being the most venomous we'd ever, EVER see. Having lost not only Mytyl to Sumeragi, but also the salt in the wound of finding them to have offed Nori as well. It's all the tragedy of the GV2 ending, but without the added reassurance that there is always an estate waiting for him, should he come around. Now, he has nothing.
Something has to have happened inbetween this, and the mellowed out RoboCope we see in iX who realizes Sumeragi is the issue, and not necessarily the adepts. I don't think a hundred years of anime seethe would be enough to spur that kind of reflecting.
