Shin: Difference between revisions

During the following year, Shin and his army conquered the former [[wikipedia:Kantō region|Kantō region]]. He could have assumed the title of [[King (organization)|KING]] and might have built Yuria the city of [[Southern Cross]] to win her affection. However, his continued atrocities only drove her to supposedly commit suicide by leaping from the palace balcony. Yuria could've survived due to the intervention of the [[Nanto Goshasei]], who might have 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.

: Shin was the possible 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 might have been able to even overwhelm the steel skin of general [[Balcom]]. An exceptional fighter, Shin is one of the few people in the series who could boast having defeated Kenshiro once.
