Shin's army is also notably more extensive in the television series. In addition to his four generals ([[Heart]], [[Spade]], [[Diamond]], and [[Club]]), it also includes the [[Golan|God's Army]] organization, and [[Jackal]]'s gang, who are both subsumed under his command. After Kenshirō continuously defied his army, Shin gathers his remaining troops and launches an all-out assault against Kenshirō as he approaches Southern Cross. After Kenshirō is presumed dead, [[Barcom]] seizes the opportunity to plot a mutiny against Shin, and although Shin defeats him, the city is destroyed during the insurrection. With Shin vowing to build another Southern Cross, Yuria decides to commit suicide from the palace balcony and prevent the violence repeating itself. | Shin's army is also notably more extensive in the television series.
