Rui is a green Rooi and White Bomber's partner and friend. Rui appears in numerous episodes in the Bomberman Jetters anime, making his debut in Episode 01. Rui generally resides (as well as working) at the ramen shop.
In episode 28, his role becomes more important. The Jetters are all sick due to the Bay Bay influenza, with the exception of Birdy and Gangu. With Shout extremely sick during an urgent matter, Rui takes her place temporarily. The Jetters head off to Planet Swing to protect the unique trumpet.
Rui also appears in the last few episodes. With Planet Jetters now heading to a collision course with Planet Bomber, Rui hung out at Jetters Base with Dr. Ein and the others. Rui would often point out what is happening.

Trivia
- In the Concept art of Shiron from Bombergirl, Riu is shown, and there is another version of Shiron featuring Rui's traits. This could implies that before the general design of Shiron was adopted, she would have been based on Rui, but the final version have her based on White Bomber (Jetters) instead.
