Great analysis mate. Puppetmon was my favourite villain from Adventure. He was the most fleshed out villain on the show. He was cruel, sadistic and selfish but deep down He wanted friends but didn't know how to properly connect with others and even in death he still didn't understand what he was missing. The fact that he called out for Cherrymon with his dying breath tell me that out of all his minions, he was somewhat close to him and perhaps regarded him as a father figure.
I personally always viewed Puppetmon asking Cherrymon what it is that the chosen children had that he lacked with his dying breath was more than anything him remembering Cherrymon's words and lamenting the fact that he never figured out his own faults. He probably realized that Cherrymon is a wise Digimon, but I don't get the feeling that Puppetmon really respected him, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been so quick to kill Cherrymon after his warning, and also Puppetmon may very well have heeded his words and took them to heart a bit more
8:00 Jerrymon feels like the only one who was something approaching a friend. In that he didn't just cozy up to Pinochimon for protection but genuinely wanted to see him succeed. He was honest with him and told him what he needed to hear instead of just stroking his ego.
I think he was the most human of the evil Digimon they fought. None of the other digimon ever look the time to reflect on pain they felt. Puppetmon is definitely one of my favorite digimon.
@@albus2214 there was Etemon too but it was never made clear of why he wanted to defeat the chosen children . I think he was just a goofy rock star big bad that was meant to lower the tone after the whole Devimon arc
@@daltonoakleyjr391 etemon arc shown how digimon wasnt supposed to continue after ep 13 where angemon defeated devimon 😂 Etemon arc literally just a bridge to vamdemon's arc.
I really liked his story and I have though he was really powerful with his wires chocking attack, he managed to control War Greymon, a vaccine fire Digimon, where is in total disadvantage. I felt he had the best story in Digimon Adventure out of all the enemies. He was sadistic, sociopath, evil, and dangerous, but after all it manages to make you feel sorry for him since he was an empty vessel... I always felt he was the most dangerous and powerful after Piedmon from the dark Masters.
I totally agree with this. Had he have had a little bit more self control he would have been able to destroy the digidestined. He's definitely second strongest DM
@Kalu Laitala im curious to see where it's stated that MetalEtamon was a weak mega digimon. The strength of Puppetmon came into the fact that he was the only dark master that was able to effectively divide the digidestined. The digimon series was not really one to adhere strictly to this type vs that type(type advantages). The only time that really came into play was when it was data vs virus types, and even that had it's limits. Puppetmon lost because he did not keep a calm head and plan. He allowed his childish nature to ruin everything that was already laid out for him
To give credit.wargreymon was pretty new at his transformation. Every stage has to work up some power like nowadays where the old group can take on Digimon at higher ranks at lower levels but still need there higher forms for dangerous challenges.
So often I don't think that the dubbed voices are worse than the original, but there is something about making Pinocimon/Puttepmon sound like a child that makes it so much better. It makes it feel more like they are really a child who has never learned to be caring than some weird video game villain
Actually Pinocchio's name cames from the kind of wood he was made, pine and "occhio" mean eye but in this case it is referred to "wood eye" which means "whorl in the wood" in my language.
Not only his arc was much more entertaining than the other Dark Masters, he also fought with Metaletemon in one silly/epic duel, one of my fav moments in anime ever.
He was very weak minded for sure! Riddled with inferiorities and insecurities hence why he targeted TK to make himself BIG with the youngest not realizing how grown and mentally tough TK actually was. Reminds me of Impmon on Tamers who bullies the little catalyst Digimon and then proceeds to brag about giving him advice lol 😂 He’s just a lonely loser is all
@@WelshGiraffa In terms of overall power level, Puppetmon is the weakest of the dark masters, which makes sense compared to the other 3. But he was also the most manipulative as well, which he used to divide them in an effort to weaken them as a group, and for a little while, it worked
Moundshroud and his partner Poyomon into a Tokomon into a BlackPatamon into a Devimon into a Phelesmon into a NoblePumpkinmon, Carmilla and her partner Choicmon into a Chibimon into a Elizamon into a Sistermon Noir into a LadyDevimon into a Beelstarmon, Keiko and her partner Yukimibotamon into a Snowmon into a Penguinmon into a Frostmon into a Daipenmon into a IcePeakmon, Hannah and her partner Seedmon into a Flowermon into a Budmon into a Witchmon into a Pixiemon into a Rosemon.
I too knew him as Puppetmon. I cried a little when he finally made friends. I never believed him to be truly evil, just a kid wanting to fit in who fell in with a bad group (Dark masters).
Mushmon are just handing out shrooms. Woodmon is on a mission he can never win. Jyureimon is a creepy uncle. And Pinochimon has severe mental health issues and has a gun.
Even if the edited out the gun or him shooting his own henchmen or him threatening to shoot TK first in the elbows then the kneecaps, he was so threatening and the voice actor in English did superb!!! He sounded evil yet childish snd filled with resentment. He knew he didn’t have what it takes to be cool enough to hang with the gang so he tried to impress TK. Man!!!! That’s so psychotic!!!! I felt bad for him when he went home and TK had wrecked his room snd broken his TV. But he’s just too damn evil. Felt even bad for him when Matt fried him to death. The guy was so impulsive blinded with jealousy envy and rage he wasn’t very calculating! He played too many stupid games. Puppetmon reminded me of this kid we used to hang out with. He was always bragging like Impmon but then he would get his butt kicked publicly for talking too much. In doing so he was always getting humiliated and he was too prideful to admit it making himself look worse. He joined a gang and then tried to impress us, when we weren’t impressed he called us stupid little kids. He was shot a few years later and killed but he had done some heavy damage and people steered clear from him because he was always trying to prove himself and willing to stab or fight anyone just to show off. RIP Puppetmon aka that kid also that kid had a mushroom style haircut which made him look just like Puppetmon and a weird nose haha
Puppetmon. Not only he’s the smallest but also the saddest and loneliest Digimon. Hope you can make an Impmon video! Or gumdramon! Both are my favorite 💜💜💜! Oh and make lopmon as well!!
Puppetmon is the best written villain in the original Adventure series. I like how he didn't find out what he was missing in the original. Wish Piemon got as much development or Machinedramon. Someone who used to be on youtube made pretty good criticism about the entire Digimon Series until Hunters were he addresses that. Adventure's strenght lies in the relationship and depth of its protagonists minus Puppetmon for some reason. Adventure 02's strength lies in its antagonist having just Cody and if you want to count Ken as explored and well written characters. But Tamers obvious does everything right. Well, except Ryo. The worst thing about Tamers.
In the English dub his name was puppetmon And I’ll be honest with you when he died at the end I didn’t I didn’t feel like he deserved it but I did feel pretty bad for him because he didn’t know what a true friend was and that’s why he died
Puppet Pummel, I love your digimon channel but if I remember Puppetmon was a Mega level digimon not mislabeled ultimate level. Digimon level progression 1. In-training, 2 Rookie, 3 Champion, 4 Ultimate and 5 Mega.
Thanks for watching my videos. I wrote in the description that I use original Jp terms and names. The original terminology goes: Child -> Adult -> Perfect -> Ultimate. :)
He was always my favorite of the four Dark Masters, and one of my favorite Digimon overall. Even though he was a dangerous sociopath, I still felt genuinely bad for him and his sad fate. Thankfully Digimon can reincarnate in Adventure, so I hope he got to have real friends in his next life.
To me puppetmon makes more sense because it's more generic. Mushroom, Wood and Cherrymon are all pretty generic names so one of them suddenly growing a fictional character's name wouldn't make sense in english.
I wish the dark masters were more interesting. They looked cool, but besides puppetmon they were all very underdeveloped, they felt more like obstacles than characters
Pinocchio does NOT have a happy ending in its original. The author hated children and kept trying to ensure Pinocchio was killed off to teach kids a lesson of “this is what happens when you disrespect your elders” eventually he was forced to make an ok ending but not a happy one. Disney and others were the ones who added happiness and joy to the films and other books.
U no wuts wrong? The 3 Dark Masters r confirmed to b in the vital bracelet but not puppetmon. It would be perfect to have him as ur partner and a friend but nope bandai dont want that. *edited: I could continue ranting about puppetmon SHOULD be in hermit in the jungle but that take hours
Pinoccio was supposed to be hanged? But if he hadn't yet gotten his happy ending, that would have done very little to him, right? I mean, he's a puppet, hanging him would just make him a puppet on a string.
Great review, but really confusing using Japanese names and titles for the Digimon in English. Sounds like you don't know much at all about the Digimon calling Puppetmon an 'Ultimate Level' Digimon. Lol
The “ many “ you consider maybe you and others who watch dub term, for most digimon fans they always prefer ORIGINAL JP term, so his name always Pinochimon.
Hes an underrated digimon. He deserved more screen time and character development
He really does
He was one off the coolest dark masters
He did get most episodes from all dark masters

End of video: Why do I now randomly feel bad for Puppetmon?
For real I feel bad for him
Not only his arc was much more entertaining than the other Dark Masters, he also fought with Metaletemon in one silly/epic duel, one of my fav moments in anime ever.
It's funny how this digimon is burned into my mind like no other digimon
Damn love this channel get in depth info dive not only on digimon but the urban legends or stories that they are inspired by
Honestly learnt so much from this and I love how in-depth they are about the evolution line too. My favourite Dark Master >3
He was really savage in advanture 01
Dude he pulls out a gun, and shoots at children... I grew up on the Dub, when I saw the original I was floored. He’s ridiculous lol
@@maruraba1478 well i grow up with the pokemon anime and i watch digimon 01 in eng sub
Puppetmon is about as savage as a paper bag in a strong wind out of all the dark masters he was the weakest

Absolutely AMAZING analysis!
Pinokimon sounds kind of like Kinoko which means mushroom.
Ki also means tree, I think they had some fun with this.
Good vid. Looking forward to seeing more Digivolution lines like this one, like one for Mugendramon or Piemon.
Funny how megas tend to be smaller than other forms but end up being the steongest.
The other Dark Masters should had 4 episodes dedicated to then like Pinochmon had, instead of just 2.
Puppetmon: Cherrymon, what is it that those kids have that I don't?
Cherrymon's spirit: Friends...
🥲
That hit me closed to home.
Puppetmon: if I could delete you again then I would for saying that.
If Pinocchio was made in Hot Topic and read Batman comics. Jokes aside, I love Digimon so much.
I kind of felt sorry for him but he was too dangerous to let live.
He was the only dark master that was to be mourned, he genuinely wanted friends but didn’t know how to make them, his was the saddest story
When he made his first appearance it shook me to the core that he tanked the Digi Destin digimon.
Oh yeah. Boring with them so badly when they could have just killed the lot. Right then and there.
8:08, 8:18. A true relationship and friends are the best things in life. He was the best character for me.
I too knew him as Puppetmon. I cried a little when he finally made friends. I never believed him to be truly evil, just a kid wanting to fit in who fell in with a bad group (Dark masters).
In Digimon fusion he got a happy ending at least and have some friends what's this one was the same for that one
love his pinochimon my favorite
best digimon villain
“ & Johnny boy always broke the rules ~” - POD
He drilled his nose into metal etamon at 6:39 lol never seen that as a kid
I don't think that was in the dub.
It was censored in the dub. You can find that and many more examples on a video I did recently about censorship in Digimon.
Mushmon are just handing out shrooms. Woodmon is on a mission he can never win. Jyureimon is a creepy uncle. And Pinochimon has severe mental health issues and has a gun.
Thanks for making this video, i hate how the dub fans complain about Pinochimon sounding like a child.

Didn't know Puppetmon appeared in Xros wars. If only that Digimon season didn't suck I would have enjoyed seeing Lilithmon and Puppetmon.
“If you eat this nut, you will surely die” well that’s a horrible one night stand
Did you hear Dave Does Music's version of Brave Heart in English? I get reminded of it every time I watch these wonderful videos.
Puppetmon's best Digimon imo.
Forbidden nut and bushes in his head lol
Can you do one for Raremon?
Puppetmon. Not only he’s the smallest but also the saddest and loneliest Digimon. Hope you can make an Impmon video! Or gumdramon! Both are my favorite 💜💜💜! Oh and make lopmon as well!!

@@acg1301 indeed, cheers for eyeing the mistake. Issue with typing/thinking fast sometimes.

Pretty sure Pinochimon was a Mega Level, since Cherrymon is an Ultimate.
Read the description. :)
In Japanese the levels are named differently
Mushroomon ➡️ Woodmon ➡️ Cherrymon ➡️ Puppetmon

Does the music used have a name? Karl Casey alone has over 200 tracks to their name.
Puppetmon was the best Dark Master in my opinion. You just have to feel sorry for this lonely fella.
Cherrymon has a different appearance in digimon world ps1, i wonder what his full body looks like
the frist three lines did it for me "pinicimoin is mased"
6:40 lets ignore this bit shall we hahaha
U no wuts wrong? The 3 Dark Masters r confirmed to b in the vital bracelet but not puppetmon. It would be perfect to have him as ur partner and a friend but nope bandai dont want that.
*edited: I could continue ranting about puppetmon SHOULD be in hermit in the jungle but that take hours
He does have moments but I still think he's the weakest of the dark masters mostly dangerous from his unique abilities
Please do Millennimmon.
Can you do agumon black evo
Mushroomon - Rookie
Kogamon and Ninjamon - Champion
one of the best one for me
Pinoccio was supposed to be hanged? But if he hadn't yet gotten his happy ending, that would have done very little to him, right?

Isnt he a mega
He has no resolution??
He's the Chucky of Digimon.
The original Digimon Adventure was an emotional roller coaster. The reboot was underwhelming to say the least. Not hating just not really a fan.
Dude was terrifying
He looks like to week..But he is most evil of Dark Masters... it is very strange to see when Zudamon lost Pinok..
I wonder why they changed it's name in America? I prefer this name over Puppetmon.
Probably to avoid copyright issues with the very litigious Disney
they also used the name puppetmon for the german dub 🤔
Because digimon looking likes puppet 😂
Playing digimon world 2 😊 I got mushroomon 🍄 woodmon 🌱 Cherrymon 🌳🍒 puppetmon 🤥
Do Piedmon next please
He was missing a heart,obviously..
a reference of pinochioo of disney classic movie.
