: To prevent passing down his knowledge, he retreated to the mountains and led an ascetic life. However, [[Raoh]] seeks him out as his comeback opponent after his first fight with [[Kenshiro]]. Koryu fights reluctantly and tries to seal Raoh's fearsome power with a suicide attack. Raoh breaks Koryu's hands off with a single punch and pummels him to death. After the fight, Raoh meets Koryu's two sons, [[Zeus]] and [[Aus]], and spares their lives after they attempt to avenge their father. As a parting gift, he tells them to choose different paths or face the same fate, a foreshadowing to his impending battle with [[Toki]]. | : To prevent passing down his knowledge, he retreated to the mountains and led an ascetic life.
