Kari Crisis
When Daemon possessed Hikari Kamiya and travelled to the United States to try and kill Michael and Mimi, he was unsuccessful, and Gennai sent Michael along with Ken Ichijouji, Miyako Inoue, Willis Thompson, and Iori Hida into the Digital World.

Third Digital World War
During the Third Digital World War, Michael leads most of the aquatic Digimon in the Gennai Army. After Ken fails the first battle against the Hell Forces, the aquatic Digimon intend to throw a coup against Ken and replace him with Michael. Michael reaffirms his loyalty to Ken, but Ken devises the plan to split the Gennai Army into six armies and attack each Hell General simultaneously.

During Operation Tidal Wave, Michael and Cody lead the attack on Leviamon and are victorious. Afterwards, they help the rest of the Gennai Army attack Hell Hill.

Digidestined Civil War
During the events of the Digidestined Civil War, Michael is arrested and taken to the Rocky Mountain Prison. After he is freed by Mimi, he is challenged to a duel by Jacob McDonald in the International Peace Park in North Dakota. Michael accepts, defeats Jacob and travels to Hawaii to meet up with the rest of the Terrestrial Gennai Army. He and Mimi eventually battle Jyou Kido in the Battle of Tokyo Bay, winning.

After the Digidestined Civil War, Michael addresses the United States Congress announcing the disbandment of both the Terrestrial Gennai Army and the International Digidestined Alliance.
