He is very stupid, and, apart from taking part in the battle of Aoi-Ya as well as grinning like an idiot, he does not say anything, and he does very little. He battled the new Oni Gnag under Okina but that fight stopped before it got very serious. After the attack fails he bounces away. After shishio's defeat he can be seen on a cliff outside of Kyoto.
