Knuckle Joe returns to the scene, adopting the disguise of an evil N.M.E. agent. However, his true objective is not deception for its own sake, but rather to track down and hunt Masher. He operates under the guise of a monster hunter, using his cover to pursue his quarry. This mission is supported by his Copy Ability, which allows him to utilize the Fighter form. The narrative focuses on his dual identity as he navigates this specific hunt, contrasting his apparent allegiance with his actual predatory intent toward Masher.
