Generalissimo Balcom (バルコム大将軍, Barukomu Daishōgun)

The leader of Shin's army and a master of Taizanji Kenpō. He only appears in the TV series.

TV Series

At the gathering of the KING factions, he describes Kenshiro's various exploits as they gather to deal with the growing threat.

After presuming to have killed Kenshiro during an airstrike, Balcom grows weary of Shin's lenient ways and launches a mutiny to seize power for himself, murdering Nariman who opposes the plot. However, Balcom is no match for Shin's Nanto Koshū Ken and suffers a bloody death. In the aftermath of his death, Southern Cross is set ablaze by the rebelling thugs.

Trivia

• Balcom was modelled after Baiken Kinbu, a villain from the pilot version of Hokuto no Ken. He uses the same fighting style, and the battle between him and Shin is visually identical to the battle between Baiken and Kenshiro Kasumi.
