Five Kage Summit arc
Sabu is introduced while teaching Killer Bee to show more passion in his singing. Kisame arrives during their practice to capture Killer Bee, and Ponta immediately charges at him. As soon as Ponta is defeated Sabu prepares to battle. Kisame runs towards him but is distracted by Killer Bee, giving Sabu a chance to strike. Killer Bee attack too, but Kisame blocks both attacks with his Samehada. When Killer Bee begins to transform, Sabu sees that Samehada is absorbing all of his chakra.
