"A Destined Encounter"
Gota was in the stand with his brother Shosuke and their friends Yoko Omiya and Jun Yamato to cheer on Gota's best friend Takeshi as he competed in the National High School Wrestling Championship. Ultimately Takeshi took the title, and the group went to the café owned by Jun and Takeshi's mother to celebrate. There they were met by Gota and Shosuke's parents who brought a basket of fruit. The group all had a lovely dinner together.

Gota waited with Shosuke and Jun at the airport for the return of Takeshi Yamato, who Gota was happy to see again. That evening, Gota played baseball with the kids and some of their friends, including Hiroshi Toyama, whose mother eventually showed up and forced him out of the game, and to go home with her.

"Secret of the Underground Cavern"
When Gota Yamada caught a young boy named Goro stealing fruit, Takeshi invited him in for a free meal and Jun and Shosuke listened to him explain himself. When his father went missing, Goro walked to Tokyo to search for him with only water to drink, and was starving by the time he arrived. Jun admired his courage, and he did regret being forced to turn to theft, so they banded together to search the city with pictures of the man to gather leads. While they were out, Shosuke spotted Goro's father, but he seemed not to recognize his son. This led to them being kidnapped by the Die-Die Gang, and tossed in the back of one of their work trucks. They were brought to a Die-Die Gang base in the countryside, where they were kept tied up. When Rainbowman began to menace the base, they were brought out as an ultimatum: Rainbowman would either stop his attack, or the children would be shot. Goro's father, who had been freed of his mind control, used construction equipment to scare the gang off, and Rainbowman set the kids free. When Rainbowman had defeated the gang, Jun and the others said goodbye to Goro and his father at the train station.
