Tanaka and his crew including Frank and Norman, hold up the Watanabe Casino. Holding the Casino Manager named Carol and unnamed others as hostages. Upon the arrival of Spike and Jet, the two manage to take out Tanaka's crew, except for Tanaka who holds an old lady hostage. At that moment another member of his crew named Frank exits the restroom and after briefly observing the situation, he pulls out a disrupter gun. The sequential outcome of this confrontation is that Frank is shot by Spike and fires his gun off opening a giant hole in the casino wall creating a deep space vacuum. Tanaka is nearly sucked out of the vacuum hole, but is helped by Spike as Jet flips the switch to the emergency shielding switch. With the situation under control, Spike asks Jet if it's ok to bring in Tanaka "damaged", to which, Jet confirms it and Spike then knocks out Tanaka with a sucker punch.[1]
Afterward, Jet turns in Tanaka to the ISSP for a reduced bounty because of deductibles from the damages done to the casino. During Jet's talk with Chalmers, Tanaka cusses at Jet, who then breaks his left leg with a single kick.[1]
