Appearance

Meeting with Tokageroh
Muscle Punch takes Ryu and the gang to the abandoned Funbari Bowling Alley asking him if they can make it their new best place. However, Ryu refuses because it is too far from the train station and there are no convenience stores nearby. When Ryu is possessed by Tokageroh, he tells his gang to break into the museum and steel Amidamaru's Harusame. However, Muscle Punch refuses because that would make him a burglar and ends up getting stabbed in the leg by Ryu. Ball Boy helps carry Muscle Punch to Yoh's House so they can stop Tokageroh from killing Manta.

Shaman Fights in Tokyo
Before Ryu goes to America, Muscle Punch and the others write him a farewell card.

Travel through America
