Shoki: Difference between revisions
Shoki never used Gento Kō Ken in the manga. Considering Bronza was the Red Light General in the HNK2 video game, it's pretty evident the title was made up by Toei for the anime. Tag: sourceedit |

: When [[Jakoh]] took over the Imperial Capital by holding [[Lui]] captive, Shōki rebelled and attempted to take Jakoh's life. However, his attempt was thwarted by Falco and Shōki was placed in a false state of death.

: In the anime TV series, Shōki is portrayed as a ''[[Gento Kō Ken]]'' practitioner (in the manga he was never shown nor established to be one). He faces Kenshiro as the General of Red Light, with his true identity initially concealed by a helmet. Kenshiro senses no murderous intent from his opponent and smashes the helmet to find out his assailant's identity, where he's reacquainted with Shōki. Shōki allows Kenshiro to pass and orders his subordinates to do the same, knowing that it would incur Jakoh's wrath. Shōki's killer was changed from Sheeno to fellow Gento fighter, [[Boltz]]. When he meets Kenshiro again before dying, Shōki begs him to defeat the true mastermind behind the Imperial Army, Jakoh. | |||
