That's my point. In the manga, Shin is considered a 'friend' (tomo) in the same way as Souther, Ryuga etc: Worthy rivals who won his respect in battle. If anything, Shin was an acquaintance, at best. Case in point: When Kenshiro finds Southern Cross to be a slave camp he says ''"Only he (Shin) could create a place like this!"'' Hardly how you'd refer to an old friend, whether they decided to betray you or not. [[User:Endofcentury|Endofcentury]] 11:26, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

:True, but the TV series never delves much into Ken and Shin's common past prior to Shin's kidnapping of Yuria. There's a throwaway line in the film version where Ken says that he and Shin grew up like brother, but it only in occurs in the movie, not the TV series.

:Since the manga is the point of reference for the wiki, the embellishment of their friendship should be kept within the context of the TV series/movie adaptation. I'd prefer Shin to be referred to as an acquaintance/rival in the main segment, because the manga never intimated anything else. [[User:Endofcentury|Endofcentury]] 20:03, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
