Synopsis

Vs. Queen Bee Arc

Knuckleduster trains to enhance his physique.

At some point in his life, Knuckleduster acquired a warehouse and used it as his personal secret base. Despite being his closest allies, not even Koichi Haimawari and Kazuho Haneyama were aware of its existence. Knuckleduster used this place to intensely train his physique.

This is also where he devised his plans to combat the Villains in the area, using the map to plot routes he, Koichi, and Kazuho should take to lead the Villains into traps. He would also use it to map Kuin Hachisuka's movements and lead her down to a dead end where he would defeat her, extract the parasitic Queen Bee from her body, and rescue his daughter Tamao Oguro.

Knuckleduster would not visit the place again for the next three years. At some point after saving Tamao and leaving the Naruhata Vigilantes, Knuckleduster informed Soga about the warehouse and gave him the keys of the building.

Later, the Villain Number 6 kidnapped Kazuho, ​​and used a Queen Bee parasite to transform her into the Villain Bee☆Pop, who defeated Koichi in their first encounter. Soga rescued Koichi, and after recovering at his friends Moyuru and Rapt's house, he took the three to the warehouse. Once there, Moyuru and Rapt helped Koichi improve his abilities, while Soga devised a plan to defeat Bee☆Pop and free Kazuho from the Queen Bee's influence.

Anime & Manga Differences

• In the anime, the warehouse features a different design than its appearance in the manga. In the manga, the warehouse is a large symmetrical building with gabled roof, while in the anime, the building and the roof are asymmetrical. It also has an extra door that is accessed through an exterior staircase, and not just a garage door.
