Puppetmon thumbnail commission for Digimon Freaks' newest video on this Dark Master, hitting YouTube this evening!! (22:30 CEST)

[atsoraasayoma]

Another one of my headcanons is Taichi glancing at Takeru and Hikari together paranoid that if they somehow end up together he would have Yamato as family and Takeru trolling him endlessly.

This has given him nightmares.

He convinces Daisuke to keep an eye on them and if he can ever confirm they are dating to report to him.

Takeru and Hikari hide it so well Taichi loses sleep and misses classes because of this. It remains unconfirmed.

He tells the others he would rather fight the dark masters all over again than confirm him and Yamato’s brotherr are dating.

The digimon dark masters

ALL THESE MFS WERE SO COOL EACH OF THE DARK MASTERS WERE LIKE PEAK DESIGN AND JUST OVERALL SILLYNESS AND PLOT, LIKE THIS MF WAS JUST CRAZY AND GOT HIS ASS BEAT BY A LITTLE BOY WITH AN ANGEL

MACHINDRAMON IS HONESTLY MY FAVORITE OF THE DARK MASTERS, AND HONESTLY MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE DIGIMON AS A WHOLE, ITS SUCH A PEAK FUCKING DESIGN HONESTLY

puppetmon honestly just sometimes pissed me off with how annoying that mf was, but even with that he was really silly and just childish, but he worked

honestly my least fav, he killed like one of the best side characters and then they beat his ass, like straight up just the worst of them all, the others all did something really cool or smth, like Puppetmon and his whole housezord thing, and just trying to manipulate like TK and shit, and his honestly dope ass death via Matt, then theres Machindramon, with his dope ass design and like little robot guys everywhere, then he just like gets his ass beat but at least he was cool while he did it. Then the big guy Piedmon, he was honestly just kinda scary, and turning everyone into fucking keychains, like holy shit that was actually making me geek out.

then there is this mf, he was actually scary, a full counter to everything, they had to use the power of friendship to beat fucking Apocalymon

this mf was like actual evil, just an honestly really good bad guy at just being bad

Dark Masters Be Like

Evil Big Sea Snake

Evil Big Robot With Guns

Childlike Puppet who was, thanks to its immense power relative to almost all other Digimon, completely alienated from everyone around it, to the point of being unable to see them as anything but toys. Despite this it craves something, feels something missing, a deep hole inside of its being. It tries to fill it with things, but this doesnt work. It tries to fill it by forcing others to do its bidding, to play with it, but this doesn't work. It only realizes that what it sought was true companionship, true friendship as it lays dying, having driven away or killed any and all potential allies and finally making the mistake of trying to control one of the few beings on the same level of power as it. As its body slowly shuts down, the words that could have changed its fate ring through its head. "What am I missing?" "Friends."

This is Pukumon, a Mega/Ultimate stage Digimon of the virus type, and though it may often be overlooked, there's something kinda interesting about it.

So, there was a series of Digimon v-pets called "Digimon Pendulum", and they each had a particular theme. The series consisted of "Virus Busters", "Nature Spirits", "Wind Guardians", "Nightmare Soldiers", "Metal Empire", and "Deep Savers".

Pukumon was a part of the Deep Savers v-pet, fitting with the theme of fish/sea animals.

As you can see here, Pukumon was one of three final forms your Digimon could take, representing virus type. And yes, there's also MetalSeadramon there, representing the data type.

And of course MetalSeadramon is well known for being one of the four Dark Masters, a group of very powerful villains from the Digimon Adventure anime, and other Digimon media.

Actually, each member of the Dark Masters is from the Digimon Pendulum series of v-pets. Puppetmon being from Wind Guardians, Machinedramon from Metal Empire, and Piedmon from Nightmare Soldiers. The odd thing though is that of all the Dark Masters, MetalSeadramon is the only one that isn't a virus type. As mentioned before, MetalSeadramon is a data type, which is a somewhat odd choice for a villainous Digimon, and makes it stand out amongst the others.

The conclusion I'm obviously building to here is that Pukumon should have been the fourth Dark Master, not MetalSeadramon. This punk pufferfish was snubbed! lol

Not only that, but Pukumon hasn't had a significant role in ANY Digimon anime EVER! And that is truly a crime, because this Digimon has so much character, and is much more interesting to me than MetalSeadramon, which doesn't seem to have much identity other than being generally cool. Piedmon is a devious and theatrical evil clown with weaponized stage magic. Puppetmon is basically an evil Pinocchio made from the wood of a cursed tree. Even Machinedramon has an interesting angle as basically being a mechanical chimera made from various cyborg Digimon parts.

As for Pukumon itself? Its official backstory states it's "a British Punk Digimon that was born when Britain's strongest hacker caused a mutation in a computer virus in which they had poured all the knowledge they possessed." It's also said to have a huge ego, and is constantly picking fights. Best of all, one of its special moves is literally called "Britain Punch"! XD

I guess they ultimately picked MetalSeadramon over Pukumon because it's larger and more intimidating, but I can't help but feel we were seriously robbed of having a hilarious and badass British punk blowfish on the Dark Master team!

Justice for Pukumon!

Do you remember those "Death Generals meeting their tamers's abusive parents" headcanons? May I request same HCs, but this time for Dark Masters?

CW: Digimon threatening the abusers of their Tamer, near violence from few of them. Under read more due to context of it.

Piedmon

Piedmon is perhaps the most calm and calculating over this meeting. He doesn't let his Tamer move from his side, no matter how much the parents try to be sweet, slowly delving into demanding they come over. Piedmon may not be the best Digimon out there, especially being a Dark Master, but this Tamer of his... he'd protect them with his life - a feeling he never knew he'd ever feel but does - and if the abusive parents try to approach, Piedmon is quick to stop them in their tracks with his blades. As far as Piedmon is concerned, his Tamer doesn't have any parents... The other Dark Masters and him are his Tamer's family now. The parents should be lucky that he's sparing them, it's a mercy. But if they try anything... Piedmon won't hold back, keeping his Tamer's eyes covered if it were to happen.

Puppetmon

Puppetmon is going to THROW. HANDS. The very moment he meets his Tamer's parents, understanding just what they put his Tamer through, he's getting defensive. His Tamer is his friend, and he's not letting them go back to them, no matter what. Puppetmon WILL hurt them if they come close because he knows what it's like to be hurt in such a way, and he and his Tamer have built such a trust together... He REFUSES to let them anywhere near them, he'll use his Puppet Pummel on them if he needs to if they don't leave them alone.

Machinedramon

Machinedramon doesn't even need to talk to the parents. The moment his Tamer hides behind his leg, the large Digimon only glares down at them. He says nothing, only letting his menacing and intimidating presence say everything he would do if they dared to try and do anything to the little human that this Dark Master has taken a liking to enough to call his Tamer. He hides his Tamer behind his large metal claws, moving them so they didn't need to see their abusive parents, or he's not letting them touch this little human ever again - or manipulate them.

MetalSeadramon

MetalSeadramon has a LOT TO SAY to these so-called "parents". The most talkative and the one who just won't let them get a word in edge wise. He scolds them, throws insults, and even threatens their safety greatly should they dare come closer to his Tamer. He's not afraid to hurt people, it's clear in how he acts. And he has the means to get rid of them, but won't because his Tamer begged him not to hurt them despite how they hurt them. For as much as the Tamer wished they'd hurt, just keeping the little child away from those people will be enough. As much as MetalSeadramon disagrees since that's too much of a mercy for adults who would hurt their own CHILD... He does make sure they know that he's keeping an eye on them, and if they try anything - he's not going to hold back, even at the wishes of the child he has grown quite fond of.

Who do you guys like the most on your team? Who do you hate the most on the enemy team?

"An interesting question... Although I'm not one for relationships since I'm a superior being... I must admit that Obake's intellect and Motivations truly seem to resonate with me. He's like a more intelligent Dr. Regal.

"As for who I hate on the enemy team... Probably my stupid brothers... Especially RiFT. So much power, yet he uses it to serve lower beings. What an insult..."

"Glad to know we can get along, Slur. I have always found you fascinating... But as a brilliant mind who loves potential, Eggman Nega is a man after my own heart."

"The feeling is mutual, Obake. I do have respect for Dr. Starline and the Analog Man as well."

"Oh, it's such an honor to hear you say that, Mr. Eggman Nega, sir. Know that you are my favorite here as well."

"As for who I hate... Though I haven't met them in person, that Peni Parker and her robot, SP//Dr remind me too much of Hiro and Baymax, which remind me of my past Failure! If I can't get my revenge on Hiro, then Peni will be the next Best thing..."

"I feel the same way about that key wielding Sonic that showed up not too long ago! Dimensional variant or not, he's still a Sonic, and Sonic ruined my plans many times! I want to destroy him personally...!"

"Hey! You lay off him, Egghead! That Sonic is mine, ya hear me!? I'm the one who's gonna destroy him! I hate him and every other Sonic out there! I'll destroy them all until the only one left is me!"

"You tell 'em, Scourgey! Now, tell them how I'm your favorite person here!"

"If by that, you mean my LEAST favorite person here, then yes, that's you, Rosy."

"Awww! You say the meanest things, Scourgey! You're one of my favorite people here, too..."

"But her... This one right here... She's my girl..."

"Aw, thank you, Rosy. I like you, too. Such an adorable little psychopath ready to smash some heads... It's like having a little sister... But of course, my favorite has to be Dark Mega for obvious reasons."

"You're my favorite, too, Dark Empress! A beautiful Darkloid queen like you has stolen my heart..."

"As much as that Empress chick terrifies me almost as much as Rosy does... Gotta agree with her. Dark Megz is my favorite member here. We both got beef with our goodie-goodie two shoes doppelgangers, and we both want to live in a world of chaos."

"Yeah... I'm disliking that Megaman more and more each day. He gets to keep his Lan, while I was rejected by mine when I became the ruler of the Darkloids."

"I feel the same way about Roll. She gets to keep her Mayl, but mine wouldn't accept the new me..."

"Can I help you smash that good Roll that makes you look bad, best friend?! Can I, can I, can I?!"

"Sure... As long as I get to land the last blow."

"Deal!"

"Obake and Eggman Nega are inspirational. Their genius far exceeds mine, and I have much to learn from them. I don't have any personal beef with anyone on the enemy team... Yet... But that ARiA and her army of Guardiangemon might be a problem."

"CHYA HA HA HA HA HA!!! My favorite person here is obviously the Great Lord Brevon! No one can compare to his greatness...!

"As for who I hate the most, obviously it's that blasted Commander Torque! He and Squid Head have been getting in Lord Brevon's way far too many times! I promise to destroy them!"

"I can always count on you to praise me, General Serpentine. I, too, can't stand Commander Torque. That blasted dragon girl might not be with him now, but he can still be a problem... Especially with that new squad of his."

"My favorite member is Ophelia! Even if it's not official, she's awesome!

"And my favorite member on the other team is my beloved Nana..."

"You're supposed to be talking about the enemy members you hate, lover boy. Anyway, probably no surprise to anyone, but Mr. Tinker is my arch nemesis on the enemy team. I got over the grudge of him 'murdering' Dr. Eggman ever since meeting the superior Eggman Nega. That doesn't mean I don't want to show him up. What about you, Sync?"

"..."

"Gee, nice choices there, chatterbox."

"I think we can all assume he hates everyone equally, teammate and enemy alike. Anyway, it seems we reached our limit, time-wise. We need to get back to our plans of taking over the Multiverse."

Mimi notably never directly refers to Yamato over the course of both adventure and 02. However there IS an implication of interactions in the first half of the show.

Mimi is one of the youngest in the group. Though she and Koshiro are the same age, Koshiro's quiet serious nature and computer skills often lead him to be treated more seriously while Mimi's penchant for complaining (no matter how justified), makes her treated a little more like a junior. There's a hierarchy of protection, that Mimi sits only above Takeru for. Mimi, being on the younger side, is more free to complain about her situation. Sora clearly looks after Mimi as the senior girl, as does Joe as the oldest over all, but Yamato also seems to look after her, at least in the first half of the season, as an extension of looking after Takeru. For instance, very early in the series, Yamato advocated for taking a break, presumably on behalf of Takeru, but it was both Takeru and Mimi who were struggling. And in episodes 5, 7, and 19 Yamato seems to be tasked with looking after the younger kids, Takeru and Mimi, Koshiro sometimes, even if I don't think it was necessarily purposeful in 5.

As such while we don't see much of Yamato and Mimi directly interacting it does stand to reason that they get along and do work well together. Yamato is generally rather considerate of people's negative emotions, such as with how he treated Sora's breakdown in episode 26 and how he handled Mimi's graves early in the dark masters arc. I would imagine that Yamato is relatively tolerant of Mimi's complaining. Conversely I would imagine Yamato is someone who Mimi holds a lot of respect for.

As a side note, the fact Taichi leaves Hikari in Yamato's care I think also speaks to Yamato's unspoken role of "babysitter", the complimentary shield to the role of sword Taichi plays. Yamato's tendency to prioritize the group's well being, over Taichi's tendency to take initiative and confront enemies. It also of course makes sense in the context of their crests, Taichi is courage (to do things), and Yamato's is friendship (to look after people).

And of course on the other side we get Joe Taichi and Sora as a group, the initiative takers, the ones who are more likely to do a dangerous job. Joe who went out in episode 7, Taichi and Sora who went to find him. Those three were the ones dealing with Andromon while the others looked around the factory, and the ones who went in for Sora's crest. Koshiro goes either way depending on if his skills are necessary or not.
