Personality
James seems to have an immense amount of respect for Mask and enjoys cheering him on during his battles, as well as becoming immensely upset when Mask appeared to lose to Kensei Muguruma. He also has a habit of referring to Mask as.

The Thousand-Year Blood War arc
James is present as Mask ambushes Shūhei Hisagi, Ikkaku Madarame, and Yumichika Ayasegawa and rings his bell to signal the start of the fight. After Mask is overpowered by the three Shinigami, James cries out to him, activating Mask's Schrift and giving him the strength to defeat his opponents. Shortly afterwards, during Mask's fight against Kensei Muguruma and Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi, James spectates in amazement and is disheartened when he loses his lord, but by encouraging him and asking him to please stand up, Mask stands up and defeats the captains in one blow. James is happy and climbs on his lord's shoulder. James, very excited, sees the fight of the lord of him. Seeing that Mask incessantly beats Kensei, Kensei rejoices saying "Do your best, Super Star". James is later bifurcated by Captain Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi in order to prevent his cheers from empowering Mask. After revealing he can still cheer even while bifurcated, James is quickly cut to pieces by Renji Abarai. However, James reveals he possesses amazing regeneration abilities by growing a new copy of himself from each piece of himself as he continues empowering Mask with his cheers. After Mask fires his Star Flash: Super Nova at Renji, James is caught in the blast, incinerating him while crying in disbelief as Mask tells him not to worry as he will be reborn as long as Mask still lives. However, with Mask's death at the hands of Renji soon afterwards, James is also dead. With his death, James' soul was absorbed by Yhwach.
