History[]
Punk Hazard Arc[]
After Sanji emerges from the water with the torso, Kin'emon was overjoyed the latter succeeded. Once his head was placed back, he tearfully stated he never felt so happy just to have his body back and be normal again. A surprised Brook noted on how they were about the same height, as Kin'emon remarked on never introducing himself and gave his name as well as some of his history. Before he continue his gratitude, Sanji told him to drop this behavior while bringing up his actions while he was a head and he bitterly remarks on how shameful it was, kneeling as he thanks him.
When SMILEY was about to attack, Kin'emon demonstrated some of his foxfire swordsmanship and easily cut the beast apart.
Dressrosa Arc[]
He was greatly shocked to see Doflamingo shoot Law and attempted to save his ally but was impeded by Fujitora. After reaching Law, he reported to the Straw Hats that the enemy they are facing is an Admiral. He was soon overpowered by Doflamingo who made off with Law.
When Doflamingo launched the birdcage, Kin'emon was among one of the twelve targets that Doflamingo set the people on. He desired to save Kanjuro and jumped down the pit, where he was told Kanjuro was last seen and to avoid being chased by thugs. Once below ground, Kin'emon was able to locate Kanjuro who created a poorly drawn sparrow to fly them to the surface. However, they also liberated the trapped citizens there with Kanjuro creating ladders for them to use.
Wano Country Arc[]
As they began to sail to Onigashima, Kin'emon told the pleading Momonosuke they have to honor Oden even if its suicide. He entrusted the boy to Shinobu and they began to head out, though along the way Kin'emon realize there was a traitor among them and that its undeniable fact now. Although the team told him, he had to handle it, Kanjuro stated they must put it to rest now. Kin'emon was horrified to hear Kanjuro reveal that he was the traitor and he's been lying to them from the very beginning and revealed the true depths of his dedication to his role was almost dying with them. Kin'emon was enraged when Kanjuro revealed that he is in fact a member of the Kurozumi Family, a distant relative of Orochi and that he was loyal to the latter's destruction of Wano.
When the Beasts Pirates appeared, they taunted the Scabbards on failing and revealed they were present to pick up Kanjuro and destroy them. However, Kin'emon attacked Kanjuro and seemingly decapitated him but it was a fake. Kin'emon was outraged to discover Kanjuro was actually a skilled artist and had deceived them to subdue Shinobu and kidnap Momonosuke. To his relief, the Straw Hats, Heart Pirates, and Kidd Pirates arrived and dealt with some of the enemies.
As the pirates battled, the Yakuza boss Kyoshiro arrived and surprised everyone by slicing the Beast Pirates ship. He addressed the Samurai by stating he owed Oden a great debt, personally telling Kin'emon that he thinks about him from time to time while calling him Kin. Surprised, Kin'emon wondered who this man was, as Kyoshiro brought up how Kin'emon was the one responsible for the Mountain God Incident and Oden took the blame. Kin'emon realized that only one person should know that and asked if he was Denjiro, to which it is confirmed to all and he revealed he knew his new appearance wouldn't be recognized and that he continued to be an enemy, correctly deducing there was a spy. Denjiro believed Kin'emon knew this and soon told everyone that the meet up location was actually somewhere else but that the mix-up confused Orochi's spy who gave the wrong location. By doing this, the Samurai were able to meet up earlier and avoid sabotage by the enemies. At that point, the samurai appeared and join Denjiro in praising Kin'emon. However, it is revealed Kin'emon himself actually misunderstood the location, something that he embarrassingly keeps to himself.
As they wait, some of his friends (minus Denjiro) were not fooled by this supposed Ingenius act and promised not to get mad, unless he admits that he simply got lucky. Kin'emon shrugs this off, saying regardless they have the army and can proceed.
Following Kanjuro's defeat, he spotted the unconscious Kanjuro and placed a hat on him, before reuniting with his comrades and Izo who returned.
After Kaido's defeat, he and his fellow Red Scabbards and Momonosuke revealed themselves to the people of Wano, with Kin'emon giving his young lord advice in his speech.
Much later, another festival was held to celebrate Wano's liberation. During this time, Kin'emon reunited with O-Tsuru (who survived her town's destruction) for the first time in years and they happily celebrated with their allies. Because of this, he was unaware of Marine Admiral Ryokugyu invading Wano to destroy the Straw Hat Pirates but the Red Scabbards, Yamato, and Momonosuke are able to keep him at bay. Fortunately, the threat was forced to leave by an unseen force.
After the festival's ended, his wounded allies Shinobu and Raizo are brought in. Kin'emon apologizes to his allies for not helping them but they forgave it, as it couldn't be helped. He was then asked about his wife and he blushingly stated she was still a beauty after all these years.
Sometime later, he was present when Tenguyama Hitetsu unmasked himself and reveals that he was actually Kozuki Sukiyaki, Oden's father. Sukiyaki had believed that the Red Scabbards were aware of his identity but Kin'emon internally noted to himself that he didn't realize unlike his allies who had figured it out. Deciding to keep that to himself, he noted it was good the latter was still alive. After Sukiyaki told Momonsuke that he would pass down the knowledge that he is owed as Shogun, Kin'emon told him they would do everything to live up to his desire while noting it was still a shock.

Tactical[]
Kin'emon has proven to be skilled tactician and has come up with splendid strategic moves but also possesses dumb luck, which has proved fortunate as seen when it unintentionally confused his enemies Orochi and his spy Kanjuro.

Unusual Communication Skills[]
When Trafalgar Law bisected him with his Op-Op powers, Kin'emon's lower half was stuck to an artificial dragon; the samurai was able to communicate through his bottom half via use of flatulence, the sounds of which he could control to create the sense of speech, although sentences would end with a vocal sounding "toot" - he could also "hear" by feeling the vibrations of the speech sounds of people responding to him.
