I know I already expressed my loathe for him several times already after what he actually did. But I'll try to express my opinions in a more rational way.

I do like that he wanted to protect and save his family from getting executed after those thugs threatened him and his family. What I DON'T like is him using the Ou soldiers to lead them to a trap as a way of getting "help" from them to save his family. Threatened or not threatened, Ryuu still had that plan of putting the soldiers into a possible death scenario. I think it would have been a lot better if Ryuu quietly told Weed and his group what was really going on before they got there. That way they could have made up a secret plan to rescue Ryuu's family from those thugs instead. So it's like this: Ryuu should have immediately told them the situation right as he got to Futago Pass. Then maybe Weed and the group could have pretended that they didn't know, allowing them to confuse the thugs and catch them off-guard to save the family.

Then again, that better plan was not going to be initiated anyway since Weed suggested crossing the bridge. The one good thing that Ryuu did was warn them not to take the bridge. But then Weed was like-

So I could say that Ryuu is half innocent but also half guilty.

Of course, if anyone here has love for Ryuu, I totally understand. But I myself am not so fond of him. I have only just a bit of sympathy for him when his family was in trouble.

Honestly, I feel bad for Ryū. What he did was a bad thing with tricking the Ōu warriors, but he did it to save his siblings. Plus he didn't pressure neither Kotetsu nor Sasuke and made a move on them. And once the threat of the bad dogs were gone, he immediately went to make up what he did wrong and wanting to help instead.
He's not a bad dog, just a good dog being pressured to do bad things by bad dogs.
Wait for me; Terrex, Baghéera, Nokorde, Smulan, when its my time I come

Ryuu is just a single random dog in the sea of forgettable side characters in this series, and having an entire topic dedicated for him seems a bit weird considering that he most likely will disappear and won't contribute much to the story moving forward.

I do not have much of an opinion on him aside from that I find his actions reasonable considering his situation.

I don't think Ryuu has been in any other Ginga series.

Idk my thoughts on him are just that I do understand why he led them to a trap. I don't think he's a bad dog. He did go and look for survivors after all.
