::I'll have to check again, but it may have been the difficult-to-translate term ''[[tomo]]'' that was used in the original manga. [[User:Evan1975|evan1975]] 20:14, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

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.
