After Chairman [[Isaac Netero|Netero]]'s death, the Zodiacs, are summoned back to the [[Hunter Association]] to hold a meeting to vote for a new chairman.<ref>Hunter × Hunter - Volume 30, Chapter 318</ref> Before the meeting starts, the Zodiacs talk amongst one another about the tardy [[Pariston Hill|Rat]]. Saiyu disparages the Boar [[Ging Freecss|Ging]] saying he's a perpetual truant and the Rat simply calling him a scumbag. Offended by the Monkey's comment, Ging threatens him if he wants to die, to which, Saiyu says he can go ahead and try. Moments later [[Pariston Hill|Pariston]] arrives and immediately tries to take control over the meeting using his position as Vice-Chairman (which is slightly higher than the rest of the Zodiacs) as an excuse. In order to progress the meeting, Saiyu says that Pariston should just be the boss as he thinks he gets off on the position. After a vote, Pariston is chosen to lead the meeting. He immediately announces his chairman candidacy and suggests they skip the election. This proclamation infuriates nearly all of the Zodiacs sitting at the table. Though threatened, Pariston elaborates on his reason to become chairman and after he is nearly confronted by the Ox [[Mizaistom Nana|Mizaistom]], Ging announced his candidacy for chairman, though none of the other Zodiacs want him to be chairman either. After some discussion and consideration, it's ultimately decided that they will go through with an election and by the Dog [[Cheadle Yorkshire|Cheadle]]'s suggestion, the rules will be chosen via a lottery, much to Saiyu's disapproval. As soon as the Zodiacs finished writing their own set of rules, [[Beans]] is summoned to draw the lottery winner and he picks Ging's.<ref name="chap319" />

As Beans reads the rules made by Ging, the Zodiacs feel disconcerted by the rules and throw a snit when Ging revokes one of the rules in favor of conceding to the others. In the [[First Election for the 13th Hunter Chairman|first round]] of the 13th [[Hunter Chairman Election]] Saiyu places in 35<sup>th</sup>. Saiyu, Cheadle, and the Chicken [[Cluck]] call Ging an idiot when he has a snit of his own not being allowed to see who voted for whom.<ref>Hunter × Hunter - Volume 30, Chapter 320</ref> A meeting is held after the results for the election's [[Second Election for the 13th Hunter Chairman|second round]] are released and again Saiyu is in 35<sup>th</sup> place. Pariston proposes that they add one of either two suggestions to the rule set in the [[Third Election for the 13th Hunter Chairman|third round]]; have Beans eliminate intentional invalid votes or temporary confiscate [[Hunter License]]s of the Hunters that cast invalid or abstain from voting. Voicing his opinion on the matter, Saiyu believes the best suggestion is the first as it will help meet the conditions to the 3rd rule, though Pariston is skeptical in that manner as it may send a bad message. Amid the meeting, the Tiger [[Kanzai]] is instigated and agitated by Pariston's remarks and tries to attack him, but is blocked off by several Zodiacs including Saiyu who uses his '''Priest Staff'''. With the matter with Kanzai settled, Cheadle continues the topic on the matter of the voting rule process. Pariston voices his opinions on Cheadle's comments on how to progress, to which Saiyu remarks that abstentions or invalid votes aren't violations. Pariston rebuts that calling them validations, as it would be a wake-up call because those abstaining to vote are doing it in respect for the former chairman.<ref name="chap321">Hunter × Hunter - Volume 31, Chapter 321</ref>

The results of the third round of election reveal that Saiyu places in 35<sup>th</sup> again and that there has been a stark increase in absentee voters. So in order to avoid confiscating all violator's licenses for abstaining from voting, Pariston promotes the idea that they should hold live in-person speeches to convince their fellow Hunters to vote.<ref>Hunter × Hunter - Volume 31, Chapter 323</ref> On the day of the speech, the Zodiacs bear witness as [[Leorio Paradinight]] lose his cool and sends Ging flying with his [[Nen#Hatsu|Nen ability]]. The results of the [[Fourth Election for the 13th Hunter Chairman|fourth round]] show that Saiyu placed in 35<sup>th</sup> again, which eliminates him from further rounds for not making the top 16 candidates.<ref>Hunter × Hunter - Volume 31, Chapter 325</ref>

Saiyu, Mizaistom, and the Snake [[Gel]] act as monitors for the voting process in the [[Sixth Election for the 13th Hunter Chairman|sixth round]] voting process.<ref>Hunter × Hunter - Volume 31, Chapter 329</ref> Eventually, he attends the [[Ninth Election for the 13th Hunter Chairman|final round]] of the election, guarding one of the exits to ensure no one leaves until a Chairman has been elected.<ref>Hunter × Hunter - Volume 32, Chapter 331</ref> Hearing that Pariston is stepping down as Chairman, making Cheadle the chosen Vice-Chairman, become the new Chairman, Saiyu has a snit.<ref>Hunter × Hunter - Volume 32, Chapter 335</ref>
