Manga Appearances

Chapter 2- Rustler #1:

RJ is first seen playing Tig in the main plaza with EBJr while Rustler is signing up for the hiking shuttle. When Rustler asks for keen hikers, RJ doesn't listen to him and carries on as normal.

At the end of the story, he is at the dinner table with the rest of the family for dinner telling Rustler how his day was while he was up in the mountains.

Chapter 3- Eagle Beagle #1
As Rustler is getting on the shuttle to go hiking, RJ sees him off before carrying on with his game of Tig with EBJr to Eagle Beagle's dismay.

He witnesses Rustina be gifted a magazine she took out of the supermarket and thought it wasn't fair that she got something and he plus EBJr didn't so the two begged with puppy eyes and made Eagle Beagle cave into the pressure. The older brother was willing to let the younger brothers have magazines too but they already made their way to the toy section and picked out a toy each; RJ picks the toy gun. As Eagle Beagle was about to scold the boys for their selfishness, he has already relented and let them have the desired toys.

In the park, RJ roleplays as a policeman, pretending to arrest bad guys until a strange boy approached the two brothers, saying how a spike tortoise and a bald eagle made the two seem like they're copying The Rock Boys (who he doesn't like). RJ tells him that the band members are great though his words are merely laughed at by the Bully Bunny then proceeds to insult RJ's dear older brothers, really making him made now.

RJ sticks up for the name of his brothers by saying that the work they do are amazing as well as being kind individuals. Bully Bunny smacks the toy gun out of RJ's hand and further provokes him and catching the eye of Eagle Beagle as he steps up to defuse the situation. RJ is relieved to see that his big bro is willing to stick up for him and EBJr when he is needed.

Eagle Beagle and Bully Bunny go back and forth with their debacle, Bully Bunny shouts that Eagle Beagle isn't even the star of the band. RJ yells at Bully Bunny for personally going after his big brother like that. When the argument peters out when EBJr has his say, Bully Bunny stole his toy, making EBJr cry and RJ plus Rustina comfort the crying bro while Eagle Beagle deals with the bully once more.

After the unsuccessful attempt to get EBJr's toy back in one piece, the little brother was left in tears so RJ as well as Rustina offered to share their toys with him if he wanted but Rustina's toy was chosen instead of his. The family walk on to at least enjoy the rest of the day before dinner with Rustler in the evening.
