Super Fight Arc
Zanbai attends a meeting of the Council of Swordmasters. At the meeting Kamikaze asks the council members for help in catching and killing Garou in worries that Bang might fail and die. The council members agree, except Haragiri who mocks Atomic Samurai's plea. Haragiri proceeds to show them the Monster Cells and reveals he had received them from the Monster Association and transforms into a Mysterious Being himself. He then orders the council members to eat the cells or he will kill them, but Atomic Samurai cuts him first, killing him.

Monster Association Arc
Later, Zanbai along with Nichirin, Amahare, and Spring Mustachio come to the heroes support against the Monster Association. Upon arriving, he assists the other heroes and fights Black Sperm alongside them. While Zanbai is defending against countless copies of Black Sperm alongside his comrades, Fuhrer Ugly arrives in his mutated form with Gums' stomach acid covering the former's entire body. After a brief clash between Superalloy Darkshine and Fuhrer Ugly, and seeing the former severely harmed by the super-powerful acid covering the monster's body, Zanbai advises everyone not to face the fat monster empty-handed and then charges at him with a sword. However; Fuhrer Ugly manages to catch his sword, instantly melting the sword due to the acid covering his hand, and then retaliates against him by shooting an acid spit from his mouth on to Zanbai's head. He is then killed by the powerful acid from the monster as it melts through his head.
