He was taken to the program after having a motorcycle accident.

For the first program, Madoka faces Akira Shiroyanagi in a 1 on 1 fight and they are placed in a classroom arena, causing Madoka to comment he hate school. Madoka tells Akira to give up as the match start or he may hurt him. As Akira doesn't do that, Madoka attacks him with his stick and turns it into katana. Akira manages to run around and escape his attacks, causing Madoka to believe Akira's ability isn't good for fighting. However, Akira states he hesitated using it as its too dangerous. Madoka then believes his ability takes time to charge and rushes at him, but as he does, Akira places his hand towards him stating that his ability turns his hand into a cannon. Madoka immediately recalls Mion's ability and in that moment Akira hand turns into a cannon. He then shoots at a desk, causing a blast and pushing Madoka back. As he points his cannon at Madoka, Madoka has no other choice but to surrender.

During the second program, Madoka and Akira, along with three others, Yuri, Satoru and Shin, are placed in a team for a team battle. After revealing their abilities to each other, they learn the team battle is actually one on one fights. Madoka faces Saeko Zokumyoin, who at the start of the battle uses a slingshot to shoot a marble at him. Madoka deflects it and then sees the marble turning big and crushing the ground, making him realize that if he attempted to catch it or dodge it, she would have enlarged it and hit him. Madoka then proceeds to deflect or cut Saeko's marbles. In a last attempt, she uses all of her marbles surrounding him and creating a single path. She then rolls a large marble in the path and hides behind it, as Madoka cuts the marble she jumps out and attempts to shoot at him at closer distance to not allow him time to counter, however, breaking a piece of his stick, Madoka creates a small knife which he throws and cuts the rubber on the slingshot. He reveals he anticipated this and asks her to surrender. Saeko thanks him, knowing that he is stronger than her, he would look down on her, but she knew he would ask her to surrender and not cut her down. A marble then rolls under Madoka's legs and enlarges, hitting him in the crotch and knocking him out with Saeko taking the victory.
