==Fist of the North Star==

When [[Jagi | the imposter with Seven Scars]] killed his parents and kidnapped his sister [[Airi]], Rei abandoned his humanity and roamed the wastelands as a lone wolf, surviving through any means necessary. Rei was hired by the [[Kiba Ichizoku|Fang Clan]] to infiltrate [[Mamiya|Mamiya's]] village as one of its bodyguards. However, Rei betrayed them and helped [[Kenshiro]] thwart them off, believing it would be wiser to side with the stronger side. Afterwards, Rei went to the hideout of the Fangs with Ken and Mamiya to defeat [[Kiba Daiō|their leader]]. However, the Fangs had managed to capture Airi from her previous captors and used her as leverage to coerce Rei into fighting Ken for them. However, Rei and Ken managed to trick the Fang Clan by striking each other's vital points at the same time, placing both of them in a temporary false state of death. After the Fang Clan was defeated, Rei was reunited with Airi.

Rei would become one of Kenshiro's most trusted allies. He exposed [[Amiba|Amiba's]] true identity at the [[Village of Miracles]] and accompanied Kenshiro to the city of [[Cassandra]], where the real [[Toki]] was imprisoned. Although Toki was saved, Rei was forced to rush back to Mamiya's village when he learned that [[Raoh|Ken-Oh's]] army began to mobilize his troops. Rei fought the leader of the invasion squad and then challenged Raoh himself to a fight. However, Rei was defeated and struck in the vital point ''[[Shinketsushū]]'' sentencing him to three agonizing days to live.

After rescuing Mamiya from [[Medicine City]], Rei learned that she was once one of [[Yuda|Yuda's]] captives before she escaped and became the leader of her village. Swearing to avenge Mamiya's honor, Rei dedicated his remaining days to tracking down Yuda. However, Yuda managed to elude his pursuit, leaving Rei's struggle in vain. This was until Toki extended Rei's lifespan for another day by striking the vital point ''[[Shinreidai]]'', which had the side-effect of transforming his hair white. Rei entered the final showdown with Yuda, and after a treacherous fight, he defeated Yuda with the technique ''[[Hishō Hakurei]]'', the Soaring White Splendor. After the battle, Rei tells Kenshiro to live on as the hope of the new world before spending his final night alone in a hut to spare his friends and family from his gruesome death. Afterwards, Kenshiro ignites the hut as a funeral pyre for his fallen friend.

As Rei heads back to the city, Frieda fights Rofū's soldiers, and reveals to be a biologically engineered human weapon, much like Rema, who arrives on the scene and the two of them fight Rofū. Meanwhile, Rei is confronted by a vengeful Zan in the desert, holding a woman believed to be Airi hostage to keep Rei at bay. <span style="font-size:13px;">Shuh arrives and exposes that the woman is not Airi. Rei then easily kills Zan, and he and Shuh go to Asgarzul, only to find that Frieda and Rema have been defeated and that Yū has been taken by Rofū. </span>

<span style="font-size:13px;">Shuh reveals that the scar on Rofū's face that is hidden by the mask he wears was left there by his wife, </span>[[Linley]]<span style="font-size:13px;">, who battled Rofū in a battle on the eve of the nucear war and was killed by her husband.  Rei goes off to confront Rof</span>ū, who has taken Yū to the [[Nanto Seitoden]], leaving Frieda and Rema back at the city to recover. Rei and Shuh show up and Rei fights Rofū in a second battle for succession of Nanto Suicho Ken as Yū, the entire Nanto Roku Sei Ken, and even Ken-Oh look on.  Rei battles Rofū with the fist that he had learned from Linley and his style fueled by love for others, led by the Star of Justice, clashes with Rofū's fist of rage. Rei eventually manages to defeat his master with the [[Hishō Hakurei]].  Before dying, Rofū tells Yū that he killed Eva at her request so that he could fulfill his destiny of fighting Rei and so that Yū could have the throne of Asgarzul. Rei and Yū bid their farewells and Yū goes on to be queen of Asgarzul while Rei continues his search.
