One Piece Film: Red
Kaginote and his crewmates watched the beginning of Uta's performance and plotted to kidnap her after her first song. They went onstage to corner but were interrupted by Charlotte Oven and Charlotte Brûlée, who had the same plans. The Straw Hat Pirates confronted both groups to protect Uta. Brook swiftly struck down Kaginote and some other members of the Jellyfish Pirates. Uta eventually stopped the fighting and decided to turn the interrupting pirates into a song, capturing Kaginote, his crew, Oven, and Brûlée and fixing them to a musical staff.

The Straw Hat Pirates (minus Luffy) were later captured, as well. As everyone hung suspended on the staff, Koby and Blueno appeared to recruit allies in the fight against Uta. Koby and Nico Robin simultaneously realized that singing the notes where their heads were placed would free them. After Brook sang the notes to free himself and his crew, the Jellyfish Pirates agreed to a temporary truce with the Straw Hat Pirates, SWORD, CP0, and Big Mom Pirates. They were all freed and hid in the ruins of Elegia's city.

Kaginote participated in the final fight against Uta, receiving a battle outfit as a reaction to Uta singing and summoning Tot Musica.

After the fight's conclusion and the escape from Uta World, Kaginote and his crew became fans of Uta's and danced to her music being broadcasted over a Den Den Mushi.
