Fiction
In the past, Garurumon was a  that was partnered to Akiharu "Haru" Minase with the two being best of friends. Gabumon wasn't very strong though, which lead to Akiharu protecting him instead of the other way round. Feeling pathetic about how weak he was, his desire to protect Akiharu causes him to evolve to Garurumon. Before it can protect him though, the duo are separated when Miyuki Minase sings the song of the Minase Maiden, which opens up a portal to the real world. Akiharu is sucked into it, returning him back to the real world, with Garurumon freaking out, thinking their bond was just a lie the entire time.

This causes him to hate humans, with him holding a grudge for over 50 years. His memories of Akiharu also fade.

It becomes one of the many Kemonogami that work for, who instructs them to sacrifice children in order to save the World.

When fails to sacrifice the children,  says it will send  to help her, though she turns it down. then asks if it can try before MegaSeadramon though Piedmon tells them that it saw no need for co-operation but they could do whatever they wanted. This pleases Garurumon, who then leaves to go and find the children.

Miu Shinonome, who had convinced the Kemonogami in the castle in the amusement park that she was their new queen, opens a trap door and has her brother and his friends fall through it — sending them to jail. At the same time group are freed from jail by — Garurumon,, Arukenimon, and their minions ambush the castle in an attempt to kidnap Miu once again. They were unsuccessful again though, as Miu was able to escape due to the help of.

After the group find Miu and leave the castle, Garurumon, Monzaemon, and their minions attack the kids and easily defeat the partner Kemonogami. Monzaemon attacks Miu, with some of her servants taking the blow for her instead. Garurumon decides to let the kids escape as he only cared about killing the Kemonogami that had bonded with humans not the humans themselves, which pisses off Monzaemon. Refusing to their let partners die, the Kemonogami get back up and continue to fight, with Kaito also fighting to prevent them from sacrificing Miu. The partner Kemonogami, some of the humans, and Miu's servants fight the evil Kemonogami with Miu admitting she loves her brother and doesn't want him, or his friends, to die. She asks Syakomon to save them with this causing Syakomon to evolve to — who's added power allows the group to defeat Garurumon, Monzaemon, and their minions.

Some time later, he has a nightmare about being the partner Kemonogami to Akiharu, refusing to believe that it had actually happened in the past. As he screams himself awake he sees that Arukenimon had been watching him with her asking him to help her sacrifice some children. Though he turns down her request to help her sacrifice the children, he does agree to attack them since he wants to murder the partner Kemonogami.

When runs away due to an argument with Minoru Hinata, the others look for him. A they do so, the Professor starts to regain his memories and remembers that he had seen the buildings in the alternate World before. Just as he realizes that, Garurumon was travelling nearby and ends up coming across the Professor. The two then realize they know each other, with Garurumon realizing that he was Akiharu. Rather than kill Akiharu he instead leaves as his aim was the find the Kemonogami. He eventually comes across Miyuki Minase and takes her hostage. Agumon fights Garurumon in an attempt to get her back, with the others joining the battle one by one to the annoyance of Garurumon as it has to hear about bonds and friendship. Sick of the fact Garurumon hadn't killed anyone in the battle yet, Arukenimon sends in some of her minions to help out though they are unable to help help as Garurumon and the minions are defeated yet again which allows Miyuki to escape. Garurumon flees, with Arukenimon fleeing as well since she was now on her own.

After Garurumon and Arukenimon's latest failure, the duo argue over who's fault it was. Piedmon tells them to shut up with the excuses and tells them to bring him Miyuki, who he refers to as the Priestess, and tells them they have one more chance as he will not tolerate any more failures.

After Piedmon kills Arukenimon due to her failing too many times, he takes matters into his own hands and kidnaps Miyuki. The children chase after him, only to run into Garurumon who blocks their path. (disguised as Akiharu's younger self under the name ) tells Garurumon to kill Akiharu, as he's the one he wants revenge on, so that he can achieve his revenge instead of trying to take it out on all humans. The children attempt to stop Garurumon, only to realize that Garurumon wasn't even trying to attack him. Renamon/Haru points out that he's supposed to hate humans yet wont actually kill them, and tells Garurumon that that goes directly against Master's plans. Garurumon, trying his best to admit that he really does hate humans, attacks them but is defeated once again. The partner Kemonogami point out that despite his claims, his heart isn't actually in his supposed desire to kill them which is why he keeps being defeated. Garurumon insists he hates humans because he was once betrayed by one but Dracmon points out that the fact he's lonely without said human proves that he doesn't actually hate them. Garurumon gives up, and allows the group to go on further — telling them exactly where Piedmon was. Akiharu then states he and Garurumon will talk about everything that had happened after the battle.

As the children fight Piedmon, the fog gets closer and closer to Miyuki with Akiharu running in to try and free her. Piedmon attacks him and tries to kill him, though Gaururumon suddenly runs in and takes the attack with him stating that he can't let Akiharu die before he gives him his full hatred. Garurumon agrees to work with Akiharu "one last time" to save Miyuki with this causing him to evolve to. The group are able to defeat Piedmon then ask Piedmon who the Master is and why they have to sacrifice children, though he refuses to answer and laughs as he had stalled them long enough. The entire room fills with fog and Piedmon begins the sacrifice. Refusing to allow Miyuki to die, Takuma and Agumon charge to the ritual table with the others seeing Piedmon, Miyuki, Takuma, and Agumon disappearing. Garurumon then leaves, as their temporary alliance was over.

Garurumon is never able to live up to those words however, as Akiharu was killed by whilst trying to protect Miyuki. As Akiharu was his destined partner, his death causes Garurumon to die as well.

Garurumon once again has more dreams about his past, such as when he became partners with the younger Haru, but also about how heartbroken he was when they got separated. After he wakes up, his former Gazimon minions find him and attack him, seeing him as a traitor since he helped to kill Piedmon though he was able to escape. The Gazimon round up all of Piedmon's former minions, who search for him, with them eventually able to find Garurumon. They all attack him, though the children and their partners arrive and defend Garurumon against the many evil minions. Garurumon tries to leave, rather than thank them for saving his life, though Akiharu worries about him going off on his own. Akiharu tries to re-establish the partnership, though Garurumon states it was too late as they had already abandoned each other. Akiharu even begs Garurumon to help them rescue Miyuki from Master as his added power would help them do so, but he refuses and runs away. Akiharu chases him down and tells him about how much Garurumon changed his life, with the time they spent together allowing him to become a Professor who has taught many people many things with this causing Garurumon to agree to help rescue Miyuki and save the world — though Garurumon claims he was just paying him back for saving his life just now from Piedmon's minions.

After the rest of the group see Garurumon with Akiharu and Takuma, they assume he was trying to kill them again though they tell them the Garurumon had joined their side as Akiharu's partner. They are surprised, though happy at gaining such a powerful ally. Still with no clue where to find the member of the, who's shrine was supposed to be nearby, Garurumon states he is pretty sure he knows where it is and has them follow him though on the way they end up seeing Piedmon's minions everywhere with most of the group acting as decoys to try and get them away from the shrine. Upon finding the shrine, Takuma, Akiharu, and their partners go into it and are confronted by Seiryu Ghost who senses that they had the power of Baihumon and Ebonwumon on their side. Takuma tells them that they want Azulongmon's power too, though Azulongmon states that he would not want to waste his power on them if they were weak. Takuma was about to fight Azulongmon, however he states that the trial was exclusively for Akiharu and Gabumon — who Garurumon had suddenly devolved to.
