    Digimon: Digital Monsters quotes

    • Puppetmon: All I wanted to do was play a little game of war with T.K.

      Takeru "T.K." Takashi: Oh, play? You mean like... pretend?

      Puppetmon: But of course. At least at first it will be make believe, anyway. But then it's bye bye, and it will be time to destroy you for real. If I got rid of you now, I'd have no fun.

    • [TK sniggers]

      Ken: What's so funny?

      TK: You claim to be the Digmon Emperor. You turn good Digimon into your slaves. You see Ijijoudji you're a pretender. You have no idea of the powers that you're up against.
