World Domination Arc
Higashio first appears with Sho, Otsuki, and Fukuda as they head out to stop Sho's father with Ritsu. Sometime later, en route to Seasoning City's Culture Tower, they encounter Minegishi of the Ultimate 5. Higashio, Ootsuki, and Fukuda advised Sho to go on and said they'll handle Minegishi as they began battling them. Initially, the three posed a challenge toward Minegishi; however, he defeated them 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. Still, the attack failed to cause any damage whatsoever. After Teruki 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. 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 took some time.
