Revision as of 16:50, 12 December 2011

Last Nanto General (南斗六聖拳最後の将, Nanto Saigo no Shō): The Last Nanto General is the title of the sixth and final member of the Nanto Rokusei Ken. When the Nanto stars fall into discord, Hokuto appears to bring order to the chaos. It is the role of the Last Nanto General to unite with Hokuto and help achieve this goal.

The identity of the General is revealed to be the assumed deceased Yuria, Kenshiro's fiancée, and a descendant of the Rightful Nanto Bloodline (南斗正統血統, Nanto Seitō Kettō). Born under the Merciful Mother Star, Yuria's empathic abilities heal the hearts of men and unites the people under her banner. With no fighting abilities of their own, the Last Nanto General is protected by an order of guardians known as the Nanto Goshasei, whose lives are sworn to defend the General at any cost.

In the spin-off material, such as the OVA Yuria Den, Yuria possesses prophetic visions named the 'Voice of the Heavens' which allow her to shape the destinies of several characters. We are also introduced to Yuria's predecessor, Dharma, who was once Yuria's adoptive guardian before becoming the Last Nanto General. After passing the mantle to Yuria, he dies of a similar illness that would later strike Yuria.

With the threat of Raoh's impending invasion, Shin leaves Yuria in the Goshasei's custody. Shin would then fight and die against Kenshiro, pretending Yuria had died to protect her whereabouts. Despite being one of the Nanto Roku Seiken, Yuria has no martial art skills. However, she does display empathic abilities in the manga and in ''Yuria Den'', she is shown to have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precognition precognitive abilities] as well. Her purpose was to heal rather than destroy; in this case, heal the hearts of even the villainous people such as Shin and Raoh. But, it is implied in the anime that her abilities can do physical healing as well, when she helped Balga and many other injured soldiers in Raoh's army.
