: During the following year, Shin and his army conquered the former [[wikipedia:Kantō region|Kantō region]]. He assumed the title of [[King (organization)|KING]] and built Yuria the city of [[Southern Cross]] to win her affection. However, his continued atrocities only drove her to commit suicide by leaping from the palace balcony. Yuria survived due to the intervention of the [[Nanto Goshasei]], who arrived at Southern Cross to save Yuria from [[Raoh|Raoh's]] imminent invasion, who desired Yuria for himself. Knowing that neither he nor Kenshiro would be a match for Raoh, Shin entrusted Yuria to the Goshasei's custody and allowed his reputation to be tarnished by pretending he was her murderer. | : During the following year, Shin and his army conquered the former [[wikipedia:Kantō region|Kantō region]].

: It was after this that Kenshiro infiltrated Shin's headquarters and the two fought once more. Driven by Shin's words after their first battle, Kenshiro defeated him by striking his vital points in the shape of Shin's emblem - the 'Bloody Cross'. Maintaining that Yuria had died, Shin refused to perish by Ken's hand and took his own life by jumping from the palace balcony, as Yuria did before him. After the battle, Kenshiro buried his fallen rival out of respect for their mutual love for the same woman. | : It was after this that Kenshiro infiltrated Shin's headquarters and the two fought once more.

: Shin was the succesor to the Nanto Koshu Ken <span style="font-size:14px;">(南斗孤鷲拳, </span>''South Dipper Lone Eagle Fist''<span style="font-size:14px;">)</span> , a brutal fighting style that revolved around piercing the flesh of the opponent utilising the hands or feet. This is shown in prime detail during his first encounter with Kenshiro, when he tortures his former friend by repeatedly piercing his chest with a single finger, giving Kenshiro his infamous seven scars. The power of the attacks are such that Shin was able to even overwhelm the steel skin of general [[Balcom]]. | |||

: In the TV series, Shin's empire is notably larger compared to the manga. In addition to his four lieutenants ([[Heart]], [[Spade]], [[Diamond]], and [[Club]]), it also includes the [[Golan|God's Army]] organization, [[Jackal|Jackal's]] gang and a host of subordinate groups. As Kenshiro continues to thwart his efforts at every turn, Shin assembles his remaining troops and sends them on an all-out assault against Kenshiro as he approaches Southern Cross. After Kenshiro is presumed dead, [[Balcom]] seizes the opportunity to plot a mutiny against Shin, and although Shin defeats him, the city is destroyed in the chaos. With Shin vowing to build another Southern Cross, Yuria decides to commit suicide from the palace balcony and prevent the violence repeating itself. | : In the TV series, Shin's empire is notably larger compared to the manga.
