Shin: Difference between revisions

: Shin secretly desired Kenshirō's fiancée [[Yuria]] ever since he first met her. After the nuclear war and the death of Master [[Ryuken]], Shin was persuaded by [[Jagi]] to challenge Kenshirō and take Yuria for himself. Shin defeated Ken and engraved the seven scars on his chest as a reminder of his defeat.

: Afterwards, Shin assumed the title of '''King''' and expanded his organization, building Yuria the city of [[Southern Cross]] to win her affections. However, his continued atrocities only drove Yuria to commit suicide by leaping off the top floor of Shin's palace. Yuria survived thanks to the intervention of the [[Nanto Gosha Sei]], who arrived on Southern Cross to protect Yuria from [[Raoh]]'s impending invasion. Shin entrusted Yuria to the Goshasei's custody and allowed his reputation to be tarnished by pretending that he was her murderer.

: Later, Ken and Shin fought each other once again within Shin's palace. Driven by Shin's words after their first battle, Ken overpowered him and struck his vital points in the shape of Shin's emblem - the "Bloody Cross". Maintaining that Yuria had died, Shin refused to die from Ken's technique, instead taking his own life by leaping off the balcony of his palace, as Yuria did before him.

: In the TV series, Shin's army 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]]'s gang and a host of original villains. After Kenshirō continued to defy his army, Shin assembled his remaining troops and launched an all-out assault against Kenshirō as he approached Southern Cross. After Kenshirō is presumed dead, [[Balcom]] seizes the opportunity to plot a mutiny against Shin, and although Shin defeats him, the city is destroyed during 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.
