'''{{nihongo|Shuren of the Flames|炎のシュレン|Honō no Shuren}}''' is one of the five members of the ''[[Nanto Gosha Sei]]''.  He is the leader of the ''Gosha Sei''{{'}}s Army of Flames and practices the ''Gosha Enjō Ken'' style, a martial art which utilizes phosphorus to generate flames.


After the death of [[Hyūi]], Shuren mobilized his Army of Flames against [[Raoh|Ken-oh]]'s forces in order to avenge his "brother star" and stop Ken-oh. Shuren preemptively attacked Ken-oh's army by launching innumerable arrows at them as they approached the valley. Afterward, Shuren fought against two of Ken-oh's best trained warriors before challenging the man himself. Shuren covers himself in flames and attempts to strike Ken-oh from his back, but ended up having his fist crushed, followed by his leg when he tried to kick Ken-oh. However, Shuren did not give up and decided to sacrifice his life by engulfing himself in flames and jumping onto Ken-oh. However, Shuren's attack was ineffective against Ken-oh, who proceeded to twist Shuren's neck, killing him.

: Shuren is a member of the [[Nanto Goshasei]] and leader of the Crimson Army. He uses a unique martial art which manipulates phosphorous to engulf enemies with deadly flames.


In the anime series, Shuren holds a funeral pyre for his fallen comrade Hyūi by burning down his castle in order to ensure that his Crimson Army does not have a home to retreat to for his battle against Ken-oh. He fought against one of Ken-oh's invasion forces before challenging the main army itself.
: After the death of [[Huey]], his "brother star", Shuren mobilizes his Crimson Army against [[Raoh|Ken-Oh's]] forces to take his revenge. Shuren preemptively ambushes Ken-Oh's army with flaming arrows as they enter a valley.


In ''Yuria Den'', Shuren is given orders by [[Yuria]] to capture [[Rei]]. When Rei was disguised as a woman, Shuren saw through his disguise and attacks head on.
: Afterwards, Shuren fights against two of Ken-Oh's most disciplined warriors before challenging their leader. Learning from Huey's mistake of fighting Raoh head-on, Shuren blinds Raoh with fire and manages to attack him from behind but Raoh reacts in time, crushing Shuren's fist and shattering his follow-up kick. In a last-ditch effort to stop Raoh reaching the [[Yuria|Last Nanto General]], Shuren performs a self-immolating attack. This proves futile against Raoh, who declares that Shuren's flames will never consume his ambition, and brutally snaps his neck.
