Shaman Fights Second Round
One night, Marco and the remaining X-Laws were visited by Yoh, who wanted Marco's permission to once again participate in the Shaman Fights. However instead of arguing with them Yoh quickly revealed his resolve to fight with them. In turn Marco was quick to decide that Yoh was allied with Hao and therefor his soul had to be destroyed, and together with Team "X-II" attacked Yoh, but Yoh easily dodged all of their attacks as he had used Hyoi Gattai with Amidamaru.

After the failed attack by Luchist Lasso on their cargo ship, and the revelation that Iron Maiden Jeanne was not a holy person, Porf alongside Larch Dirac and John Denbat decided that Marco Lasso could no longer be trusted and that it was time to face of with Asakura Hao one last time.

The mission was planned so that Larch and John would take guard posts, while Porf would target Hao from a small distance with his sniper rifle. After some small chit-chat about whether or not they should go through with the mission, Porf reported that he was in position, but when he had Hao's head in his target, he would suddenly lose focus due to seeing Hao crying.

As Team X-II's attempt to kill Hao fails, Porf is the first to die by being impaled by one of the fingers of the Spirit of Fire. As he dies he tells John and Larch, over the radio, that they should run away. Hao later tells John that they had seen something they shouldn't.

"I am in a bad mood... your friends... saw something forbidden. Your soul will be consumed with you... in every way! You won`t be going to Heaven or Hell!" -Asakura Hao to John, before killing him.

Invading the Plants
When Hao created a Black Hole within the Great Spirit, the X-Laws appeared in their 'Supercars' to protect the Soul Train.

Gate of Babylon
Following the events of the Gate of Babylon, Porf is killed when Hang Zang-Ching decapitated Sariel, and crushes Porf with his own weapon.
