Latest Appearance | |
Johnny Tezuka (a.k.a. Beth's Dad, Ralph Waldo Pickle Chips, and Rev. Pickle Chips), along with the rest of the Courageous Battlers, has been trapped in the See-Through Zone for the past two years, and, as a result, has not been shown in the series. However, it was confirmed that Chris's Parents, Wallow's Parents, and Danny's Parents are alive in the episode "Catbug". His first official appearance was in "Aeon Worm". He can be considered to be the (though involuntarily) secondary antagonist behind the Aeon Worm, which is his vile master.
Johnny Tezuka had an affair with Danny's mother Bonnie. And he had intended to sacrifice Tony to the Aeon Worm to have Bonnie to himself.
Appearance[]
Johnny has black hair like his daughter. He has his brain showing through a glass dome on the top of his head. He is slightly smaller in stature than most of the Battlers, accentuated by the fact that he doesn't carry a weapon. When he was Ralph Waldo Pickle Chips, he had a longer beard, and his teeth were oddly shaped and positioned.
Personality[]
Prior to his brainwashing he was shown to be a strict but not entirely malicious man. In addition he was shown to have a strong feminine side based on the fact that he chose to be impregnated. His hobby at the time was gardening interdimensional plants. Its revealed he had a brief affair with Bonnie, Danny's mother though the specifics are vague. What is seen is that Johnny was deeply in love with her. Constantly pushed for her to leave Tony and run away with him. When she hesitates not wanting to hurt husband or her son, Johnny admits he doesn't care about any of them. It was that selfishness that quickly makes her draw away from him.
Bonnie on the other hand was either indifferent towards him or uninterested at all in his attempts. He attempted several times to go public with what he believed was their relationship but she became upset and tried to stop him. Though its hinted he had Beth for the purpose to give to the Aeon worm. He either changed his mind or was triggered from the affair. As later after seeing Tony and her reconcile, he revealed he had intended to sacrifice Tony to the Worm; most likely to have Bonnie to himself.
Thanks to the Aeon Worm, Ralph Waldo Pickle Chips has lost his mind. He seems to not remember anything before he got trapped in the See-Through Zone, and although he was freed from it by his daughter and her Paralyzed Horse, he still clings on to his worship of the Aeon Worm.
