In the beginning of the manga, Skull is extremely cold and distant, seemingly disinterested in battles against weaker teams because victory comes so easily to him. His team easily defeats the Blue Team, who then ask Rider to train them for a rematch, which Skull accepts. Thanks to Rider's help and their chaotic tactics, they are able to dodge his charger shots, leading to his defeat. During the match, Skull finds he enjoys the match due to Blue Team's unpredictable behavior.
