Volten is participating in the Super Fight Tournament in C-City at the C-City Super Stadium.

Super Fight Arc[]

Volten becomes a monster after eating a monster cell, wishing to enhance his powers and get stronger than Suiryu. However, even after becoming a monster, he was still no match for Suiryu and was immediately defeated when Suiryu uses Benpatsu's body to pummel him like hammering a nail.
