Everything was going according to plan until Oga beat Kanzaki, proving that he wasn't strong enough. When it came to fighting the last candidate Hidetora Toujou, he tags along with Oga just so he could bent his anger on people who used to be on his side but joined Toujou when he was defeated.

Abilities
Kanzaki has proved to be a powerful fighter but not as strong as Oga. His fighting style is raw and brutal and he does not appear to have any particular technique. He has never stated whether or not he trained in any specific fighting style although he is very skilled at kicking. When he fights he usually fights based on emotions and never uses reason. He is a ruthless fighter and has indirectly referred to murder on many occasions. It is mentioned by Shiroyama that when someone pulls the chain on Kanzaki's face, he becomes extremely irritated and his strength triples. During Zenjūrō Saotome's training of Kanzaki and some of the other Ishiyama delinquents, Kanzaki is shown to now fight on par with Shintarō Natsume.

Yuka Hanazawa

Graphel retreated due to orders leaving Kanzaki feeling rather good with him self and Hanazawa praising him as "Crazy".
