While he appears to be no match for the giant ogre, Joe periodically recalls Captain Blue's special abilities from the hero's films.

Gran Bruce confronts and battles the superhero on the island, but despite an advantage over Joe due to the environment, the shark is defeated by pure luck. Right as the battle ends, the electrical demon Alastor appears. Joe quickly matches him in combat, causing Alastor to call the fighting skills of his new rival "viewtiful", which Joe then adopts into his new name "Viewtiful Joe".

The organization's Coordinator Sprocket slowly begins to break Silvia's spirit by showing her edited film reels of Joe's previous battles to make it appear her boyfriend is incapable of defeating Jadow's lackies. Sprocket then sends a group of Bianky-Primas to fight Viewtiful Joe in the city, which he easily dispatches.
