In episode 5, Zenet used him against Drago and Linehalt. He and Zenet are shown to argue a lot, but are able to work well together. He defeated Linehalt with ease, due to the fact that he lost on purpose, but got sacrificed to destroy JetKor.

Zenet used him again in episode 10, battling Fabia and Avatar Marucho. Phosphos got the win, so Contestir technically didn't get the win.

In episode 32, he appeared alongside Lumagrowl, Lythrius, Plitheon and Phosphos to battle Sabator and Aranaut but had to retreat.

In episode 36, he is seen battling the Castle Knights.
