The only power he lacks is Mutsumi Yozakura, since she can give birth to powerful children he wants to have children with her so their children can change the world.

Taiyo gets mad after hearing everything about him and Hatoda gets mad and starts o berate and insult him. Stating that he is getting in the way of him and Mutsumi creating world peace, and that the $100,000 bounty he set on Taiyo wasn't effective. He asks Taiyo to fight att PoPoPPo's main store later in the day and threatens to rain missiles across down if he doesn't show up.

Hatoda takes care of his last customer when Taiyo attacks him from behind with Yae, but Hatoda manages to block it with "Rainy Day PoPPo". He calls off his employees from helping him as he sends his explosive "PoPPo Cars" at Taiyo, who manages to dodge them and lunges at Hatoda. Hatoda pulls out his "PoPPo Spinners" which slice Taiyo's tendons on his shoulders and elbows. He throws his spinners at him once more as he continues to insult him.
