: Shuh was originally [[Souther|Souther's]] second-in-command and was present during young [[Kenshirō|Kenshiro's]] battle at the [[Nanto Junin Kumite]]. [[Raoh]] had brought Kenshiro to the Nanto dojo in order to test his potential, where he would defeat ten Nanto opponents or die trying. When Kenshiro reacted to Shuh's ki, Shuh volunteered to be the final opponent and handily defeated the boy. However, Shuh defied Souther's order of execution and clawed out his own eyes in exchange for Kenshiro's life, believing his potential would surpass them all. Shuh carries the young Kenshiro from the temple and from that day forth learned to see with his heart.

: After the nuclear war, Shuh leads a resistance movement against Souther, saving the children of the wasteland from the Holy Emperor's wrath. When Kenshiro is defeated and imprisoned by Souther, Shuh's young son, [[Shiva]], sacrifices his life to rescue him. The guerilla hideout is then besieged by Souther and his troops in retaliation. As Kenshiro is still unconscious while he recovers from his wounds, Shuh arranges his escape before challenging Souther himself. Shuh is defeated and made to carry the capstone of Souther's Holy Pyramid in order to protect the hostages.  

: Shuh dies resting the capstone, but before his death, he miraculously recovers his eyesight and witnesses the adult Kenshiro for the first and final time. When Souther is subsequently killed by Kenshiro, the summit of the pyramid leaks Shuh's blood, causing it to collapse under the weight of his sorrow.

* The path that Shuh makes in order to rest the capstone on Souther´s Holy Pyramid is possibly based on the Via Crucis of Jesus.

* In Rei Gaiden, Shuh is revealed to have a goatee in Rei's flashback rise to successorship of Nanto Suicho Ken, and in events transpiring shortly before Rei's first appearance in Hokuto no Ken, has sported scruffy facial hair, contrary to his clean-shaven appearance in Hokuto no Ken.
