The organization structure of Nanto Seiken is eventually established in manga chapter 80. There are said to be 108 sects of Nanto Seiken, with the six primary branches being the Nanto Roku Seiken.

The story arc after [[Yuda|Yuda's]] and [[Rei|Rei's]] deaths (chapters 83-97) centers around the rivalry between two of the remaining masters: the benevolent [[Shuh]] and his arch-enemy, [[Souther]], the strongest of the Nanto warriors. After the death of Souther, the [[Last Nanto General|Last General of Nanto]] appears to confront Raoh. The Last General is revealed to be none other than the previously thought-to-be-dead Yuria, a descendant of the '''Rightful Nanto Lineage''' (南斗正当血統, ''Nanto Seitō Kettō'').
