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==

Semi-historically, one of the unlikely, but ~~possiblle~~ 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''.
