Taurus Mask is Number 10 of the Rankers among the Berserkers, and the first official ranked match the Protagonist fights in order to reach Kengo. You first meet him in the locker room of the Ikebukuro Colosseum, psyching himself up for the upcoming battle. After he realizes The Protagonist is there, he greets them affably, but soon panics as he realizes he is not wearing his mask. Caught up in his panic, he forces the Protagonist into the Colosseum's fighting ring in order to restore his honor. | Taurus Mask is Number 10 of the Rankers among the Berserkers, and the first official ranked match the Protagonist fights in order to reach Kengo.

During the fight, | During the fight, Taurus Mask keeps up kayfabe, landing soft hits against the Protagonist and in turn faking pain every time he is hit. Once the Protagonist tires of going along with this, the fight becomes more serious and Taurus Mask activates his Sacred Artifact, creating a space no one can leave that burns away deceptions in order to assess the Protagonist's true fighting Spirit. This causes Taurus Mask to see the Protagonist's true nature, and the first revelation in the game that the Protagonist has multiple souls housed inside his body. Seeing this causes Taurus Mask to undergo a daze of disbelief, which The Protagonist uses to land a solid blow against him. | ||
Once recovered, Taurus Mask calls an end to the fight, stating that his soul reminds him of his childhood hero and demands that they become his tag team partner. He is so convinced of the connection that Taurus Mask deems the Protagonist his "Soul Brother" regardless of the gender chosen for them. He immediately begins making plans for your eventual tag team debut, but after separating with you to schedule interviews, he encounters a little girl, later revealed to be [[Alice]]. Alice erases his memory of the fight, leaving Taurus Mask with a feeling he'd forgotten something important. | Once recovered, Taurus Mask calls an end to the fight, stating that his soul reminds him of his childhood hero and demands that they become his tag team partner.
