## Coverage

In Crippling Gambling Addiction, Matsuda is first seen with Kaito approaching Celeste about her dealing with Jevil. He then asks what team she's on, and she says Team 3 which both him and Kaito are on. The two then try to get her to come along with them, but she refuses and the two eventually give up on it and go. Later whenever Kaito asks Gelatin what team he's on and he says Team 1, Matsuda says that they're not on a team, bummed about it. He then goes with Kaito when the two hear Izzy screaming in the distance. When the two make it there, they see Carbon and Izzy fighting and he goes to stop it, and is confused when Carbon says "you soul". Kaito ends up putting a stop to the fight and Carbon joins the two. Whenever the teams are called to the middle, Matsuda notes that his team only has 6 members, only for Jevil to come in, giving the team 7.

When picking team names, Matsuda agrees with the name and when Carbon speaks, Matsuda assumes he's disagreeing with Kaito thinking he's just going to submit the name.

In the challenge, Matsuda reassures his team in the first round that they still have the numbers advantage. He's again confused by Carbon's words, and tries to get Nora, but misses. He then gets hit by Daisy, getting him out. After his team loses around, he's confused by Carbon's words once again, asking who Hong is. He responds saying his enemy, which Matsuda is able to understand. In the next round, Matsuda is immediately hit out by Izzy but his team wins. In the final round, Matsuda gets Callie and Ibuki out with Kaito but then he gets hit himself, and his team ends up losing. Then against \*flop\*, he's gets hit by Sou first round, and his team ends up losing. In the second round, Matsuda is able to get Bread out after Jevil gets of the field. He then tries to get Luke, but he dodges. Right after he and Kaito go for Lysithea and succeed, but then he gets hit by Luke, and his team ends up losing. In the final round, Matsuda passes his ball over to Kaito who then gets Luke out. Eventually he ends up being the only one left on the team against Gus, who has illusions all over the field. He tries to ask Celeste which one is the real Gus, but she gets attacked by Luke and has to guess. He ends up getting the wrong one and gets hit, causing his team to lose. He apologizes to his team and says he's definitely out for it, but Kaito pep talks him saying that's not a winning mindset. He's then surprised when it's announced that no one has a chance of going home this time.

In Party 'Till You Drop!, Matsuda wonders what dangers await them in the alleyway of shame, as well as what the other teams are up to without them.

In the first part of The Good Ol' Switcheroo, whenever Wendy is bummed about not being able to use the bottle Kaito threw to the side, Matsuda throws it back to her. He also notes Celeste's mention of Patrick, but she insists that it was merely an example. Whenever it's noted that Carbon and Jevil are nowhere to be seen, Kaito takes him to look for the two, and whenever he asks if there was a specific reason, Kaito reveals there wasn't any but proposes the two work together to make the final 2 in the game which he agrees to. He then notices Jevil's laugh in the distance and the two go and find the two together. Whenever Kaito decides to let the two go, Matsuda questions how he understood them in which he reveals that he didn't, and is okay with letting them go since they seem fine and the two go back to the girls, and whenever Wendy asks what happened he reveals that the two seemed to have been training. Whenever Wendy mentions they're out of drinks, Matsuda notes that it's always raining and says they might have to settle for rain water. However, the team is let out of the alleyway of shame shortly after

During the vote reveal, Matsuda is notably nervous for it. However, it's revealed he was in the bottom half of votes. He shows confusion at his one vote and his raffle paper is revealed to be from someone who was supporting him, which he's happy about.

In the challenge, Matsuda asks what Jevil's tremendous news is and the team follows after him to see that they're stranded, and Matsuda notes the land in the distance and suggests swimming, which the team is shown to be against. Eventually, he agrees on building a raft with the rest of the team.

In the second part, when Yukari asks if Carbon and Jevil can save what they're doing for later Matsuda seems unsure, saying that they seem invested. Whenever Wendy says that she'd respect Celeste being lazy, Matsuda mentions it'd still be nice for an extra set of hands with the raft. He then starts to feel hungry, which causes the team to decide to search for some food. Kaito tries to ask Carbon for help, but gets confused with what he's saying until Matsuda says to just ask him, in which he agrees to do and Matsuda follows him into the woods. He ends up being able to catch up to Carbon and reminds him that he's going to get some food, he then gets some berries and eats a few, and Carbon says that if he's lucky they will be harmless which causes Matsuda to freak out forgetting to check for poison, in which Carbon responds with saying that they say people don't deserve to die, which Matsuda responds saying that doesn't stop Kira from mass murder, despite his kills being all criminals. This interests Carbon, and Matsuda admits that it was strange having an actual conversation with Carbon. The two then head back shortly after, where he sees Celeste who he initially thinks came back already, but she immediately says that he's wrong there.

As night time approaches, Matsuda is helping set the rat off but Celeste then suggests that they wait until morning to set off, which he ends up agreeing to. In the morning, they set off for real where he ends up getting offput by the waves, but Kaito encourages him to get back into it. He then is one of the people to comment on Kaito's hair, but then starts rowing again. He ends up getting hit by one of Mareanie's spikes and suddenly starts to feel worse, and things only get worse as he keeps going and Yukari realizes that he's poisoned, and he is unable to help his team. Despite this, the team gets first place and go up for voting for reward and when they get transported back to the casino, Kaito and Yukari immediately go to try and treat Matsuda and Wendy.
