Tamaoki and Kusakabe were dispatched along with Yoshida to protect Denji. He introduces himself as Kusakabe’s friend. He advises Denji not to eat food off the floor. Their group heads toward a burger shop and afterwards to a department store. Suddenly, a car with an injured Kurose (which is the elder brother in disguise) arrives. He witnesses Power strike the elder brother and identifies him once his Devil ability deactivates as one of the three of the American brothers who possess the contract of the Skin Devil. He warns the group that the two other brothers must be nearby.
They begin walking inside the department store when they realize that Santa Claus’ dolls are pursuing them. They race further inside up the escalator when suddenly Quanxi arrives, decapitating the dolls pursuing them, and attack their group. Kusakabe and Tamaoki begin to fight but are swiftly taken down by the chinese Devil Hunter, with Tamaoki getting kicked in the face, rendered unconscious.
