===Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinsho ===
Ricardo's first match is against Dragon Heat mainstay Sho Hyuga, while newcomer Tatsuya Ukyo and his trainer Saki Kudo spectate. Early in the match, Ricardo tackles Hyuga into a sleeper hold, which DJ Rikuoh recognizes as his signature technique.
However, Hyuga easily breaks free and proceeds to cripple Ricardo using his own jiu-jitsu style. Ricardo escapes and stumbles to his feet, but is knocked out by Hyuga's 'Sky Knee Crusher', a flying knee strike. Saki remarks that Hyuga deliberately let Ricardo escape to prolong the match and excite the crowd with a flashy finishing move, in his usual style.
After his loss, Ricardo continues to work at Dragon Heat as ring security. When Masumi Yuki attacks Tatsuya following their match, Ricardo and Takeru try to step in, but are stopped by Amamiya Taizan.
Ricardo is later seen sparring with Hyuga prior to his rematch against Tatsuya. Ricardo and two other fighters attack Hyuga three-on-one, but are all defeated.
