: [[Souther|Souther's]] [[wikipedia:Sifu|sifu]] and adoptive father, who taught him ''[[Nanto Hōō Ken]]''. Souther was committed to his training, if only to bask in his master's warmth and pride. When Souther came of age, he was given the final trial of his training. He would have to defeat an unseen enemy whilst wearing a blindfold. Souther was successful, but to his horror discovered the fallen foe was Ougai himself. With his last breaths, Ougai told Souther this was the fate of Nanto Hō-Ō Ken: The young must replace the old.

: Ougai's death traumatized young Souther, making him twisted and evil. After the apocalypse, Souther builds a pyramid from the blood, sweat and tears of his young slaves, where he planned to bury Ougai's mummified remains along with the last of his emotions. When [[Kenshiro]] defeats Souther, the Holy Emperor accepts his fate and spends his final moments reconciling with Ougai before his death.

 

* In the original manga, Souther calls Ougai "''O-Shi san''" ([[wiktionary:御#Japanese|お]][[wikipedia:師|師]][[wiktionary:さん#Etymology|さん]] ''Honorable Master''). For political correctness, the TV anime had to change this to "Ōgai ''[[wiktionary:先生#Japanese|Sensei]]''" to not confuse the [[wikipedia:Homophone|homophone]] ''oshi'' ([[wiktionary:唖|唖]]), an old term for the deaf.
