When the protagonists are having a hot springs trip, they hear reports of Kappa kidnapping and vanishing people in a nearby lake, which prompts Ruli to investigate. Shortly arriving alongside Espimon and Angoramon, a Gwappamon kidnaps Ruli and were receiving orders from their boss, a vicious Shawujinmon with a penchant for human flesh. They seem to be acting erratically however, since they are coughing and were keen to release Ruli upon striking a deal with Hiro to have them not interfere. It's up to the protagonists to find out why the group of Digimon were acting oddly.
- Not Himself: On his own Shawujinmon is a docile Digimon doing his own thing with his lackeys. However, after a contaminant leak from a nearby factory affected the lake he's in, one of the beads on his necklace broke and he became a man-eating monster, with each extra bead broken making him more feral. The Gwappamon around him notice how he's acting Out of Character, but were too scared to even oppose him until Canoweissmon was pushed into a corner.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: The second man dragged into the water by Shawujinmon vanished as soon as Ruli activated the Digital Field and was never heard of again. Granted that the Gwappamon aren't shown in the Digital Field until a while later, it's possible that they could had been pulled him back to the surface before breaching in.
