Digimon Adventure
During the time the DigiDestined were fighting Myotismon in Tokyo, the Dark Masters took over the Digital World and warped it into Spiral Mountain, with Puppetmon ruling over the forest. Unlike the other Dark Masters, Puppetmon played with the children and didn't take them seriously. In fact, he kidnapped T.K. and forced him into a game of hide and seek (and destroy), with Puppetmon seeking and using a gun to make the game "more fun." Fortunately T.K. managed to tick off Puppetmon by calling him boring and asked if he could meet some of Puppetmon's friends. Puppetmon tried to make excuses but ran off, saying he'd bring a friend back. Puppetmon than hastily - and literally - MADE a friend of wood and junk. But when he brought it back for T.K. to see, the boy had escaped but not before trashing Puppetmon's playroom. While Puppetmon attempted to get revenge on the DigiDestined for his playroom being destroyed, Cherrymon managed to use the memories of Matt to convince the boy to turn on Tai, which made Puppetmon all too eager to watch WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon duke it out but the presence of a mysterious being ruined that plan.

After the kids went their separate ways, Tai and his group decided to take the battle with Puppetmon to his mansion. By the time Puppetmon made it back, the DigiDestined used Puppetmon's cannon against him. Puppetmon fought the kids with a bunch of RedVeggiemon head on and lost his hammer and winning edge. In a desperate move, Puppetmon used his power to bring his mansion to life to attack the gang long enough for him to escape. He then found MetalGarurumon. He tried to use his strings to control him but his demands were not met. Matt showed up and explained to Puppetmon that no-one would listen to him because no-one was his friend. Hearing that made the marionette angrily charge them head on. MetalGarurumon fatally blasted him at point-blank range, which caused the mansion to collapse. As he lay dying, Puppetmon finally realized he never could have beaten the kids because he lacked what they had: true friendship. And with that he died....
