Shin: Difference between revisions

As youths, Shin and Kenshiro were close friends who frequently trained together. Shin secretly desired [[Kenshiro]]<span style="font-size:13px;">'s fiancée, </span>[[Yuria]]<span style="font-size:13px;">, ever since they first met. After the </span>[[nuclear war of 199X|nuclear war]]<span style="font-size:13px;"> and the death of Master </span>[[Ryuken]]<span style="font-size:13px;">, Shin was goaded by </span>[[Jagi]]<span style="font-size:13px;"> into confronting Kenshiro and taking Yuria for himself. Shin challenged Kenshiro and paralyzed him with the </span>''[[Nanto Gokuto Ken]]''<span style="font-size:13px;"> technique before engraving seven scars in the shape of the Big Dipper on his chest to coerce Yuria into swearing her love for him.</span>

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. <span style="font-size:18px;">I</span>t 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.
