In the tenth installment of the franchise, Puppet Master X: Axis Rising, the puppets continue their fight against the allied forces of the German Nazis and the Japanese. Unlike the previous installment, Axis of Evil, the Nazis and the Japanese have their own puppet weapons. One of them, inspired by war propaganda of the era, is the Japanese-influenced Kamikaze. Armed with a detonator and a pack of dynamite on his back, Kamikaze must use his special ability wisely (which he does in the climactic battle at the end of the film, deciding to work on the side of good against his Nazi commander). Kamikaze is inhabited by the soul of a Japanese innocent that was murdered by the main antagonist of Axis Rising, Mobeius, who needed an experiment for his Resurrection Machine. Fun fact: Kamikaze is one of only two puppets that's actually able to speak. Of course, Kamikaze only speaks Japanese (or, at least, words that vaguely sound Japanese).
