Tsutsumi first appears along Suwa inside a room full of monitors observing C-Rankers battling against a common trion soldier. When Kuga defeated the soldier in under a second, he was stunned into silence. They continued observing, and watched Osamu’s battle against Kazama. When Suwa complained about having to watch their battles when Osamu challenged Kazama one last time, Tsutsumi noted that Osamu had changed and he was looking forward to the upcoming battle. He noted that Kazama managed a shield against Osamu’s attack at the last second, and announced Kazama down.
