Historically, one of the reasons that Liú Zōng-Wǔ could become a German Nazi officer despite being Chinese was that during the early 20th Century, [[wikipedia:Sino-German cooperation|China was in a semi-alliance with Germany]] where both countries relied heavily on each other for exchanging raw materials from China while Germany provided advisors and technology. The use of [[wikipedia:Mauser C96|C96]] guns and the [[wikipedia:Model 24 grenade|Potato Masher]] hand grenades can be seen throughout ''Souten no Ken''. [[wikipedia:Chiang Kai-Shek|Chiang Kai-Shek's]] son, [[wikipedia:Chiang Wei-Kuo|Chiang Wei-Kuo]], was also officially a graduate of the German [[wikipedia:Wermacht|Wermacht]]. | |||
Zōng-Wǔ is also the strongest enemy that the main character of [[Kenshiro Kasumi]] has to overcome akin to [[Raoh]] in the first half of ''Hokuto no Ken''. | |||
