Plot

Human Monster Saga

Monster Raid Arc

Dave is participating in the Super Fight Tournament in C-City at the C-City Super Stadium. This is the third time Dave has participated in the tournament. While watching the match between Max and Suiryu, he was shocked at the strength of the latter, and how easily he defeated his opponent. He defeats Rosie almost as soon as the match begins, flattening him with his Giant Style Crushing. In his second fight, he proves to be no match against Choze, as the latter beats him near death.

Super Fight Arc

As he was being taken to the hospital, The Three Crows took him hostage and brought back to the stadium, along with Rosie and Bazuzu. After Rosie becomes a monster, he beats up Dave as payback for their match.
