Before the arena changes, Bowser speaks to Madhuri, saying, "I gotta thank you for telling me about these custom jobs. It's been more than half a year when you think about these time loops, but I've finally gotten one, and I gotta admit it's pretty damn cool."

He looks at the mechanical being who would be fighting with him. "Wait, aren't you the small green metal guy? Minimus, right? Didn't we fight together at the temple of Zodiark?"

When the arena does change, as the rain burns his skin, Bowser responds. "For now, I think we should get to know each other one on one. Dr. Dry Bones did say you needed some new friends, right?" Bowser taunts. Then, he uses Whirling Fortress and becomes a spinning shell, dashing toward Kuja.
