Plot
Human Monster Saga
Hero Hunt Arc
Tanktop Mask appears assisting his brothers and Mumen Rider against Garou. Garou defeated all the heroes, leaving them lying there until morning. Afterward, they were all sent to the Hero Association Hospital.[1]
Monster Association Arc
Tanktop Doctor talks about the Tanktop Master's message.
Tanktop Mask, along with the other tanktopers, stays at the Hero Association Hospital while Tanktop Master and Mumen Rider travel to Z-City to support the heroes there. Tanktop Girl gathers her companions and leads them to Tanktop Doctor, who explains the "Master's message." Inspired by his words, they and the remaining members of the Tanktop Army set out in search of their master.[2]
Tanktopers seek revenge.
Tanktop Mask arrives in Z-City Ghost Town and, like other heroes, helps wounded people by pulling them out from under the rubble and evacuating them to a helicopter. Later, he and the other tanktoppers spot the weakened Garou and surround him. The heroes strike and beat him until Zombieman intervenes and asks them to stop so he can question Garou. Only King’s swift intervention finally prevents Garou from being lynched, and the heroes retreat.[3]
Neo Heroes Saga
Psychic Sisters Arc
The heroes are waiting for the escaped monsters.
Tanktop Mask is one of the many heroes present at the Hero Association headquarters in A-City when Tatsumaki engages Apollo in battle in the building's underground levels. After the alarm is triggered, Tanktop Mask arrives at the lower floors, where he and the others investigate the circumstances of the incident.[4]
Neo Heroes Introduction Arc
Tanktop Mask does not attend one of the upcoming tanktop meetings, which likely suggests that he leaves the group and ends his activities as a hero.

Only after realizing that the machine was controlled by Metal Knight to reconstruct A-City into the Hero Association's new headquarters did he and the other Tank Toppers step down.[5]
