* Rupert is obviously crushed when [[spoiler:it looks like Bill has betrayed him]] in "Rupert and Bill in Gameland." [[spoiler:It's not obvious even to the audience in the beginning that Bill's just acting to lure the chess king into a false sense of security. It must hurt Bill a lot as well to have to convince his best friend that he would turn on him just to win a game, but he has to do it.]] This moment during the battle says it all:

* Despite the show somewhat overlooking it, the way Cyril and Cubby are treated by their grandpa in "Rupert and Growler" is quite a sad and horrific case of abuse. Not only does he verbally abuse them constantly, Rupert is allowed to stay in one of their rooms at the hideout, which is a completely run-down, empty, broken, and downright hazardous room. It's clear that their grandpa doesn't even see them as people but tools for his own use. Arguably the worst part: they blindly obey their grandpa with mostly a gleeful attitude, just listening to their authority figure as they're suppose to do, not realizing that this isn't normal treatment.

* Rupert spends the entirety of "Rupert and the Twilight Fan" beating himself up for letting Tong Lai trick him into helping him put Tiger Lily in an enchanted sleep.
