: Raoh later fought against the [[Nanto Goshasei]] - guardians of the mysterious [[Last Nanto General]], who had risen up to challenge Raoh's conquest. When Raoh discovered the General's real identity was [[Yuria]], his unrequited love and Kenshiro's fiancée, he marched onward to claim her for himself. However, he was met by Kenshiro, who by now had learned the ultimate Hokuto Shinken technique - ''[[Musou Tensei]]'' - which overwhelmed him with fear. Raoh managed to escape with Yuria in his clutches and fled to his fortress.

: Haunted by his fear of Kenshiro, Raoh abandoned the title of 'Ken-Oh' and swore to become a ferocious demon. His first act was to confront [[Fudou]], a ghost from his past and the first man to teach him fear. Fudou was now a reformed character, adopting orphans of the wasteland, but he was forced to fight when Raoh threatened to slaughter his children. Despite repelling Fudou's relentless charge, Raoh was crushed by the vision of Kenshiro reflected in Fudou's eyes and left the battlefield in disgrace. At his lowest ebb, Raoh decided that only killing Yuria would bring him the sorrow needed to learn Musou Tensei and defeat Kenshiro. However, as he prepared to strike, he discovered Yuria was hiding a terminal illness the whole time. Her courage in face of death moved Raoh to tears and stopped him from killing her. Instead, he placed her in a temporary coma, slowing the spread of her disease. As fate would have it, this moment bestowed Raoh with Musou Tensei and he took Yuria's body to the [[Hokuto Renkitōza]], faking her murder in order to lure Kenshiro into their final showdown. After a grueling battle, Raoh realized his power was unable to defeat Kenshiro, whose soul was strengthened by the blood and tears sacrificed against his great rivals. Conceding defeat to his younger brother, Raoh proclaimed to have no regrets and sent his life-force into the sky, restoring light to the world.
