With the help of the Power Stone, he gains a royal flush and wins the game. He buys a round of drinks for everyone in the bar and is happy that he will never need to worry about paying for drinks again.
In Power Stone 2, Gunrock was having fun drinking with his friends, but he was starting to get bored with his everyday life. Wanting to go out in a treasure hunt again, he obtained information about a flying castle said to contain an ultimate treasure that no one has ever seen. He decides to search for it, and a few days later, the floating castle appeared on the top of the Chomoran Mountain as the rumors foretold. Using an oversized cannon that he bought, he points it toward the castle, gets inside and fires himself to get inside.

Anime[]
Gunrock is a man from Gold Land that dreams of becoming rich quickly, continuously attempting to obtain fortunes like the Power Stones. He is a splendid father with a generous heart, takes everything easy and never fazes. He is skilled at paying out and has great physical strength. Though he works in a mine, he loves gambling (especially playing cards) and drinking, frequently winning bets due to using his Power Stone.
Gunrock is a father to five obese sons (who all have the same appearance) though his wife has long since passed away. Seeking both another wife and a mother to help care for his children, he mistakes Ayame's cross-dressing brother Kikunojo for a woman, unsuccessfully attempting to woe him while never discovering he is actually a man. Though he continues to attempt to find love, he is later married to Cassie (Falcon's former arranged fiancée) and has three more children, raising his total to eight.
