Rick emerges as a mysterious stranger during a new threat that confronts the protagonists following the events of the main series. He is disclosed to be an old lover of Apple, a central character.

Within the narrative, Rick pursues his own agenda regarding Apple, who has been taken by the group known as the ODAMA Clan. He intercepts the protagonists during their rescue operation at the ODAMA fortress. His actions and motivations are deeply connected to his past relationship with Apple, and his involvement substantially alters the dynamics of the rescue mission.

Rick is further characterized as a former member of the Nohza forces, specifically identified as Ricks in the original Japanese context, and was once a leader of the invasion troops in the main series. His history includes a fierce rivalry with J.J., whom he regarded as his arch-enemy, refusing to die except in a fair duel against him.

His final act is one of sacrifice. After delivering a farewell speech to J.J. and requesting that he look after Apple, Rick takes his own life. This occurs after he provides assistance during the mission against the ODAMA Clan.
