Digimon Story: Time Stranger

Plutomon was the former king of Iliad who presided over the Titans. After Chronomon's rebellion against Homeostasis, Plutomon was thrown into the Dark Area alongside the rest of the Titans and all of them were branded as villains. During some unknown time period, Plutomon defeated a rampaging Titamon and made him his servant.

In spite of his banishment and demonization, Plutomon was a peaceful Digimon who was content in ruling over the Dark Field, and judged the souls of the dead. This changed when a legend heavily implied to be fabricated by Chronomon spread across Iliad. According to the legend, Chronomon himself was an ancient hero who sacrificed his life to save Iliad from the Titans, and upon his death left the Egg of the Great Guardian and entrusted him to defend it. This planted a seed of resentment on Plutomon, and knowing only of the falsified history, he decided that the only way to make up for the Titans' misery was to take over Iliad's Energy Vein. Chronomon then took the opportunity to possess him and use him as a vessel to fulfill his grand designs. As Chronomon's vessel, Plutomon ordered a series of invasions across Iliad to steal its Energy Vein for the Titans, but all of these ended in failure as Iliad's guardians were too overwhelming for the Titan's forces to deal with.

Following Titamon's death in the human world however, Chronomon used Plutomon to launch a second series of attacks across the Iliad. Unlike the previous ones, these ones appear to be designed specifically to exploit the personality weaknesses of each area guardian of Iliad and were all successful, leading to Iliad being mostly compromised by the Titans and leaving the Area Guardians dead or missing. As a result, Digimon began immigrating towards the human world through the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in alarming rates, where they will be facing the wrath of D-SAT, whose leader Kuroi Shota became deeply resentful of Digimon after Ranamon nearly assassinated his superior Kuremi Kodai. Chronomon deemed him no longer useful afterwards and used a Chronolixir to turn him into Zombie Plutomon before moving onto the next phase of his plan by possessing Junomon. Despite not being one of the Apostles of Iliad, Plutomon is integral to the fate of the world and must be saved to end Aegiomon's rage.

For most of the game, Plutomon's involvement was kept off-screen and is only mentioned by several characters in-passing. Yuki Dan/Yuki Kanan first gets involved with him when being sent on a negotiation mission by Mercurymon after saving Central Town in "Throne of the Underworld". When they enter the Dark Field however, they were met by Plutomon's servant Gekomon who tells them that something went wrong with him, so he joined them to find out. Thanks to Gekomon, the Agent reached the Dark Castle where Plutomon lived, only to find him in an undead and berserk state, Zombie Plutomon, where he could only mumble and scream about his hatred for Chronomon.

Zombie Plutomon is a boss in "Throne of the Underworld". Apart from normal attacks, he can use Thunder Fall III, Hell Crusher III, Venom Trap, Panic Wisp, Heal and Aura.

During the fight, Zombie Plutomon's rampaging power causes an anomaly known as "Reaper's Mist". Under Reaper's Mist, any attempt at healing HP will instead inflict a permanent status condition (persisting even after a KO) that reduces max HP by the amount healed, up to 100 HP max. To make up for this, Zombie Plutomon's standard moves do not appear to hit particularly hard even at high difficulties. Zombie Plutomon will use Heal and Aura on the player's party during the battle to exploit the Reaper's Mist passive. If Zombie Plutomon is struck with Chaos, which Gekomon can do with his terrible cacophony, he'll use Heal on himself instead and lower his own HP.

If Zombie Plutomon's CP goes under a certain threshold, Zombie Plutomon will use a recovery skill on one of the party's Digimon to reduce their maxiumum HP, then the Reaper's Mist will disappear (this allows healing once more but does not cure the Reaper's Mist status condition if inflicted already) and the four mouths on Zombie Plutomon's body will start glowing and become targettable as Zombie Plutomon (Left Hip), Zombie Plutomon (Left Shoulder), Zombie Plutomon (Right Shoulder) and Zombie Plutomon (Right Hip). If all four are not destroyed in time, Zombie Plutomon will heal 6,000 HP then perform Hell's Slice. If stopped, Zombie Plutomon will instead take 10,000 unhealable damage and be stunned for the next turn. Regardless of outcome, the Reaper's Mist will be active again.

Weakness-wise:

• Zombie Plutomon is weak to Fire, extremely weak to Light, resists Ice and blocks Dark (same as playable version). He has the Medium, Human, God and Undead genes and lacks the Titan gene despite being the leader of the Titans.
• Both Hips and the Left Shoulder are weak to Water, and resists Fire, Electricity, Light and Null.
• The Right Shoulder's affinities are mostly identical to the other mouths, but is weak to Fire instead of resisting it.

In the Super Ultimate difficulty, Zombie Plutomon uses X-Heal or X-Aura instead of their standard counterparts, the former which is guaranteed to minimize the maximum health of any allied Digimon to 100 regardless of how much HP they had prior, and if the party fails to break all four of Zombie Plutomon's charge gauges, Zombie Plutomon will heal 10,000 HP.

After fully depleting Zombie Plutomon's health bar, it will try to directly attack Yuki with Hell's Slice, and they must tell Gekomon a final cheesy line to survive. If the player chooses the top dialogue option, Gekomon will warp both him and Yuki out of the way of the attack, and they win the battle. Failure to do so results in an automated game over. Zombie Plutomon then collapses and dies, mandating the Agent to summon an Aegiomon shadow to send them back in time.

When the Agent returns to the Dark Castle after traveling through time, they find a still-living Plutomon speaking to Chronomon as Cherubimon (Vice). The latter declares that he was no longer of use by thanking him for being a "useful puppet", then caused a dark ball to leave Plutomon's body by raising his finger, and leaving him comatose. Chronomon then told him that the hero's revival was close, and thus Plutomon's role was done. To his surprise, however, Plutomon was still alive, so he decided to get more use out of him by turning him into a living corpse with his Chronolixir. Before he could, however, the Agent approached them and took a fighting stance, which caused Chronomon to escape. Plutomon then asked the Agent about their identity and what had happened with the Digital World. After the Agent explained this to him, Plutomon asked him to rely a message to Mercurymon, the truth of the world he learned while being manipulated: the conflict was a setup brought about by Chronomon, a hero fallen into darkness. He then explained the truth of the Titan's history and begged the Agent to tell Mercurymon the truth, the weakened Plutomon fell to his knees. After explaining the situation to Mercurymon, he sent Venusmon to treat Plutomon, and she saved his life.

Despite Plutomon was freed from Chronomon's control, the Titan invasion against the human world right before the Shinjuku Inferno remain completely unopposed; it was heavily implied that Chronomon was going to take control of Junomon instead anyways, where he will use her as a front to help D-SAT build the Giant Slayer and use her powers to rain Titans into the human world in hopes of making Aegiomon despair. Saving Plutomon does bring the Titans to Yuki and Aegiomon's side however, as he ordered a group of Titans to break into the Guardian Palace to save Titamon (Tunomon), who also end up putting aside their differences to save the Agent, Apollomon and Dianamon as well.

A crepe-eating man sent the Royal Knight, Craniummon, to face Plutomon in the side mission "Knowing One's Strength", reasoning that fighting the strongest Titan should let Craniummon either regain his confidence or know his standing. As such, the Agent and Craniummon went to the Dark Field. However, after reaching his castle, Plutomon refused Craniummon's request of a duel as a fight between a Royal Knight and the leader of the Titans could turn into a serious battle for both sides. Instead, Plutomon sent Craniummon to face the trial of Enbarrmon, the immortal steed, and offered to guide him to it.

The group faced said trial in the side mission "Showdown with the Immortal Steed". There, Plutomon warned Craniummon about how the immortal steed could attack from all angles by galloping freely across the sky. They then met up with Enbarrmon, who mocked Craniummon then attacked the trio. After the fight, Enbarrmon acknowledged Craniummon even if he won their fight with help and allowed the Royal Knight to ride it, which Plutomon pointed out it only did upon those it deemed worthy. Craniummon then rode it, evolving into Craniummon + Enbarrmon. Plutomon was pleasantly surprised by the result, as it just intended to rebuke Enbarrmon for a recent rampage. He wanted to reward the Agent for their efforts, but since none of the rewards they wanted was one Plutomon could give, he just gave them the mission rewards instead.

After that side mission, a Bakemon from the Dark Field in the present day asks the Agent for their help in the side mission "Secrets Are for Sharing". Upon meeting the Agent, the Bakemon tells them that it was sensing a powerful aura coming from Plutomon's castle but it was too scared to go inside so it sent the Agent to do it instead. Inside the castle, the Agent found Plutomon talking to Imperialdramon: Fighter Mode, who confirmed he was ready to go as the Dark Field was safe so long as Plutomon was in it. Plutomon answered even he couldn't see everything in destiny. After the Agent asked them what they were talking about, Imperialdramon stated he had important business in the human world. He then stated he had met the Agent there in the past as the crepe-eating man and pointed out that Craniummon was doing well. Plutomon then explained Imperialdramon was an undercover agent sent by him to the human world, which was in chaos, though Imperialdramon seemed more interested in the sweets of the human world. Since he was feeling so well, Imperialdramon gave the Agent five HP Capsule IIIs then left.

After he left, Plutomon called the Agent's attention as they seemed to be there for some reason. He realized the Agent felt disappointed about their meeting, as if they expected something more dramatic, then let them go.

Plutomon was one of the Digimon who were transferred into the Akashic Records alongside parts of the Dark Castle. There, he asked the party to help the Orgemon brothers fight a copy of Barbamon. After they defeat it, Plutomon uses Haggard Cluster to destroy the barricade, allowing Gekomon to teleport them into the next area.

On Ceresmon's back, Plutomon explaimed to the Agent that Chronomon was incorporated into the Akashic Records as punishment for defying the higher being. He realized that death meant something different for Chronomon, who was immortal, than for them, enough that Chronomon was willing to extinguish the order of the world along with its own life to gain freedom. While that meant manipulating the Titans, the Agent had saved them, and Plutomon intended to get revenge for his comrades.

After Chronomon went back in time and dealt a massive blow to everyone with Kontontaru Zetsubō for the second time, forcing Bacchusmon, Marsmon and Vulcanusmon to retreat as well, they were replaced by Plutomon and Junomon. Plutomon swore to emerge victorious on his pride as a Titan while Junomon wished to fight alongside Aegiomon, who she had watched over for years. Just like before, Bacchusmon gave the Agent the power they had left, once again greatly increasing their CP. During the fight, Plutomon can use Wolkenapalm III and Hell's Gate.

The same situation repeated for a third time, but no one replaced the fallen duo immediately and they did not give any energy to the Agent.

After lowering Chronomon's HP to 0, Mervamon entrusted the Agent with her power. Now having the power of all the Apostles of Iliad and Plutomon, the Agent was able to use it in a X-Arts that released copies of all of them from the Digivice, who then combined their power. The Agent and Aegiomon fused together into Jupitermon once more and absorbed said power, then threw it in Jupitermon's hammer to Chronomon, finally deleting it.
