World Domination Arc
Higashio first appears with Sho, Otsuki and Fukuda as they headed out to stop Sho's father with Ritsu. Later, on their way to Seasoning City's Culture Tower, they encountered Minegishi of the Ultimate 5. Telling Shou to go on, Higashio, Ootsuki and Fukuda said they'd take care of Minegishi as they began battling them. Despite initially posing a challenge, Minegishi ended up defeating the three and left them for dead.

However, they ended up surviving and in the manga later helped everyone in trying to take down Shimazaki. With the blind Super 5 member overwhelming them with his powerful psychic powers, Higashio fruitlessly tried to crush him with a rubble giant but the attack failed to cause any damage whatsoever. After Teru managed to unsettle Shimazaki, Higashio joined in on the counterattack. Despite this Shimazaki eventually took them all down until he was stopped by the timely arrival of Arataka Reigen. In the anime Higashio and the others were not present during this battle.

Higashio was last seen watching with everyone else as Mob fought Toichiro Suzuki. After the battle, Sho had him rebuild the Kageyama home using his reassembly power. However, Ritsu pointed out that everything was out of place and it took some getting used to.
