Manga & TV Series

While watching Shu's torture at the Holy Cross Mausoleum, Rizo pleaded with Souther to allow him to bandage Shu's wounded legs. Souther agreed, on the condition that Rizo forfeit his own life and that of his family's. Rizo reluctantly backed down but Shu thanked him and was spurred on by his gesture.

True Savior Legend

In Legend of Raoh: Chapter of Death in Love, Rizo appears as the leader of the Holy Emperor's troops who attack Reina, a member of Ken-Oh's army. Although Reina is wounded during the attack, she manages to escape to safety. The scene where Rizo tries to help Shu during his torture was omitted in the movie version.

In the novelization, he is established to be Souther's aide and is present when Kenshiro is captured, as well as when the Holy Emperor's army storms the Resistance movement's hideout. However, the man who attacks Reina in the novelization is made into a different character and the scene where Rizo tries to help Shu is restored.
