After Matarō witnessed Ryūko effortlessly beat his friends, he quickly apologized to her and pleaded for her forgiveness.

In episode 19 he is shown to have survived in Honnō City with Guts during the COVERS' attack after the 1-month time skip. He stated that he was looking for the suit that ate his sister. When his luck apparently ran out and was cornered by COVERS but was saved by Nonon Jakuzure and brought to Nudist Beach's base to rejoin his family.
