John reappeared in [[King of /v/ 2023|2023]] with greatly improved seeding and a strong OC-heavy backing. Starting out as one of the Good Christian Boys, expanded from /v/ Co-Op to include other Christians in the tournament, most notably his greatest collaborator [[Doomguy]]. John would help his Christian brethren to cast out demons in the tournament such as the [[Icon of Sin]]. Using his authority as a Catholic priest, John also regularly appeared in threads providing anons the opportunity to confess their sins to him. After defeating [[Nero]] in round 1 he would go on to exorcise the demon possessing [[The Knight]], defeat [[Peppino]]'s unholy ravioli, and excommunicate the demon prosecutor [[Miles Edgeworth]]. Having entered the [[Elite Eight]] he would triumph against [[Solid Snake]], along the way associating with [[Grimm]] in the [[Team Schizo|Schizo Alliance]] due to events in ''FAITH'' involving John having a schizophrenic episode. This would come to fruition in the OC filled match against the ''Black Souls'' protagonist, and though John would lose, his strong alliance with Grimm helped the latter to become the champion of that year. In a fitting end to his run, John was able to score one last victory by exorcising the [[Demi-fiend]] in the 3rd place match, avenging fellow ''FAITH'' priest [[Father Garcia]] who had lost round 4 to the half-demon, and leading the forces of Law to triumph over Chaos.

 

John quickly reappeared after 2022 in /tnt/'s /v/ [[Co-op 2023]] tournament, on the team "Good Christian Boys", consisting of himself and fellow ''FAITH'' character Father Garcia. They were notable candidates in the tournament due to another strong campaign, winning nearly every match with huge margins, and making their way to the finals before losing to the champions, "The Glamgals", consisting of [[Roxanne Wolf]] and Glamrock Chica. Some of the more notable moments for John was when he became involved in a crackship between him and [[Beatrice]] from ''Umineko No Naku Koro Ni'' after the two went up against each other in round 2. When Beatrice lost, she fell into the ocean, so John followed suit, holding onto her tightly and playing Ricordando il passato through a speaker. Another notable event would be the match against "The Belmont Clan", consisting of [[Simon Belmont]] and [[Richter Belmont]] from ''Castlevania''. Users were quick to take advantage of the fact that both teams are hardcore christians who exterminate demonic monsters for things like art and written works.
