During the match, he befriended their running back, Patrick "Panther" Spencer, a former ball boy who had earned his place on the team. The game was a pivotal moment, leading directly to the Devil Bats' journey to the United States for intensive training under their former mentor, Doburoku Sakaki, where they endured a grueling desert trek that forged stronger bonds among the team.
