Story
Nobita's Dinosaur (both Original and Remake)
Piisuke as a hatchling in the manga.
After Nobita found an egg, he decided to hatch it and name it "Piisuke". The two have a great bond together from the newborn Piisuke up to Fully-grown Piisuke. One night, Nobita asks Doraemon to feed Piisuke as he was sick but Piisuke didn't accept Doraemon's food and Piisuke goes to Nobita's house. Piisuke greatly misses him and Nobita asks Doraemon again to return Piisuke into the lake.
Later Dolmanstein negotiates with Nobita to sell Piisuke to him as Piisuke trusts humans. Nobita disagrees and he will return Piisuke in his own era.
Doraemon and Nobita successfully go back to that era though the black guy chases them. Nobita & Piisuke had a teary farewell to each other.
Then, Doraemon uses the Time TV for Gian, Suneo, & Shizuka to see Nobita's pet. Doraemon realizes that they brought Piisuke to the wrong place. They go back to the era and Nobita & Piisuke reunite again.
As the gang knows about Time Machine is being broken, they use the Take-copters to go back to Japan as the time hole is in Nobita's house.
Soon, they were attacked by a group of Dimorphodons but they were saved by Dorumanstein and negotiated once again, this time with a price and a free ride back to their current era.
Suneo wanted to accept their negotiate but Shizuka disagrees as they may be cruel to Piisuke. Suneo convinces Gian to be on his side but because Nobita saved him from falling, he inspires Nobita's great heroine allowing Gian to take Nobita's side. Suneo accepts the fact & he will walk how matter they far they could.
The gang made a plan but they aren't succeeding as Shizuka, Gian & Suneo were captured. Nobita & Doraemon are come to rescue them & Nobita lets Piisuke stay at his place.
Later, Piisuke escapes and forces himself to climb at the waterfall, the reason for him to wake several Time Patrol robots.
The guys ask again to Nobita to give up his dinosaur as the T-rex will eat his friends. But the negotiation failed as Piisuke awakened the Time Patrol Robots and soon the Time Patrols were coming. The Time Patrol successfully caught all the members of the Black Men.
As they go back to Japan, Nobita bids a teary farewell to Piisuke again.
Nobita's New Dinosaur (2020 film)
Piisuke in manga version of Nobita's New Dinosaur
When Nobita and Kyu fall into the sea, Piisuke went to save them. Although Nobita didn't know that Piisuke saved him and Kyu, and he also didn't know that Piisuke is still alive in the Cretaceous period.
In near the end of the movie, when Nobita and the others was about to time travel back to the present time, Piisuke can be seen to be watching them leaving from long distance, implying that he was also saved from the Cretaceous extinction.
In the manga version, Piisuke also appeared in several flashbacks about the first movie and its remake.

Trivia
- The miniature model of Futabasaurus in Bon Namihira's room in the 2024 anime adaptation of Time Patrol Bon is a reference to Piisuke while Bon and Ream Stream were also attacked by a Futabasaurus.[1] The species was also briefly featured in the 1989 anime.
- In Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld ~The 7 Magic Users~, there is a scene in a room featuring the magical girl Mami from a TV show. In that scene, you can also spot dolls of Pisuke, Perman, Booby, and Korosuke displayed together.
