: When Shu recruits Kenshiro in his war against Souther, the ''[[Hokuto Shinken]]'' successor confronts Souther but finds his vital point attacks are futile against him. Souther defeats Kenshiro and prepares to use him as a human sacrifice for his mausoleum until Shu's son, [[Shiva]], infiltrates the prison and aids his escape. Souther responds by attacking the resistance hideout, taking a hundred women & children hostage in order to blackmail Shu into surrender. He slices the tendons in Shu's legs, crippling his ''[[Nanto Hakuro Ken]]'', and forces him to rest the capstone of the pyramid before his execution, which takes place just as Kenshiro, [[Raoh]] and [[Toki]] arrived at the foot of the mausoleum. | : When Shu recruits Kenshiro in his war against Souther, the ''[[Hokuto Shinken]]'' successor confronts Souther but finds his vital point attacks are futile against him.

After being crippled by the [[Tenha Kassatsu]] and losing his protection, Souther makes one last stand, but he is soon defeated by Kenshiro's merciful ''[[Hokuto Ujō Mōshō Ha|Ujō Moshō Ha]]'' technique. Overwhelmed by his opponent's compassion, Souther spends his final moments reconciling with the shrine of his beloved master, before breathing his last and passing away next to Ogai's body.
