Nagato (ナガト)
The second-in-command of Hyoh's army. Nagato and his four subordinates are some of the few Shura warriors who still have some humanity in them. He cherished Hyoh like a brother and hoped he would someday overthrow Kaioh and free the land of Kingdom of Shura from Kaioh's tyranny. However, when the corrupted Hyoh swears loyalty to Kaioh, Nagato and his four subordinates renounce their positions, saying Hyoh was no longer who he once was. Hyoh curses them as traitors and kills Nagato's subordinates. Nagato reluctantly fights back against his old friend, shocked at how far Hyoh has fallen, but he is easily defeated.
Hyoh has his men burn down the village where he lived with Nagato, causing the death of one of Nagato's young sons.

TV SeriesEdit

In the TV series, Nagato offers shelter to the injured Shachi and Kenshiro. Several flashbacks detailing Nagato and his men's history with Hyoh are shown, including Hyoh allowing a man and his family to leave Shura against Kaioh's orders. Kenshiro also meets and rescues Nagato's father, Petero, who takes care of his sons after his death. Kenshiro rescues both of Nagato's children in the animeh.

NotesEdit

  • Nagato is speculated to be based off actor, Burt Reynolds.
  • In the manga, Hyoh kills Nagato by chopping his head off. In the anime, Hyoh kills Nagato by chopping him in half at the waist. Both deaths end with Nagato's body being burnt to cinders by Hyoh's aura.
