'''Liú Zōngwǔ''' ({{CJKV|c=劉宗武|j=劉宗武|r=Ryū Sōbu|w=Liu Tsung-wu}})

<br />

The 1930's successor to the [[Hokuto Ryu Ken|Hokuto Ryūka Ken]] style. His first encounter with the previous master, [[Liu Xuanxin]], was at the [[Taiseiden|Tàishèng Yuàn]] Temple in [[wikipedia:Ningbo|Ningbo]]. He met [[Xia Wenli]] there, too.

Driven to revenge by the death of his family at the hands of [[Du Tianfeng]], Zōngwǔ turned evil and began to train in the Hokuto Ryūka Ken arts. Pro-war, he believes that it is a good opportunity to cleanse evil from the world. Later he joined the [[wikipedia:Nazism|Nazis]] as a [[wikipedia:Untersturmführer|Lieutenant]] in the [[wikipedia:Waffen-SS|Waffen-SS]] even though he was Chinese. He had the chance to kill [[wikipedia:Adolf Hitler|Adolf Hitler]] but didn't because he felt Hitler was too pitiful. [[Edmund Heckler]] brings him to Shanghai during the [[wikipedia:Battle of Shanghai|Battle of Shanghai]]. Zōngwǔ survives an attempt on his life after Dù Tiānfēng asks for [[Edmund Heckler]] to organize the hit.

Zōngwǔ desired to kill [[Kenshiro Kasumi]] in order to prove that Hokuto Ryūka Ken was superior than [[Hokuto Shinken]]. After killing Dù Tiãnfēng and finally avenging his parents' deaths he renounced his evil ways and became a monk. It can be assumed that he passed his fighting style to [[Jukei]].

==Trivia==

~~: 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]].

Semi-historically, one of the unlikely, but possible reasons that Liú Zōngwǔ could have become a German Nazi officer despite being Chinese was that during the early 20th Century, [[wikipedia:Sino-German cooperation|China was in a pre-war semi-alliance with Germany]] which ended prior to the war, 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''. In reality, the war put an end to all Sino-German cooperartion, and the possibility of a Chinese ranking Nazi officer would be a near impossibility, as Germany allied with Japan, and Japan attacked America and joined the war on Germany's side. [[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]].

Zōngwǔ 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''.
