King (organization): Difference between revisions

To extend the first arc of the TV series, the King organization was expanded from its manga counterpart. We are introduced to [[Balcom]], the General of Shin's army, and [[Joker]], Shin's informant and right-hand man. Furthermore, villains from the manga such as the [[Golan]] organization (renamed God Army in the series), as well as [[Jackal|Jackal's]]  gang (the Warriors), were rewritten as subordinate organizations of King. Shin also boasts a large military arsenal at his disposal.

Towards the end of the first arc, Balcom took advantage of the unrest in Shin's army and launched a mutiny. However, this was thwarted single-handedly by Shin, who defeated Balcom but couldn't prevent the rebels destroying Southern Cross. After the city's destruction, only a small private guard remained by Shin's side.

Shin and the King organization also appears in the movie, with its only other named member being the [[Colonel]], who served as the security chief of Southern Cross. Southern Cross was invaded by [[Raoh]], and its army was destroyed. Shin himself was subsequently defeated by Raoh as well and is left with a mortal wound that kept him alive just long enough for him to fight [[Kenshiro]] one last time.

In this side-story, the King organization becomes engaged in a war with Raoh and his army, who invade Southern Cross. Shin's army is defeated and forced to surrender. Shin, however, is spared by Raoh, who decides it would be more fitting for Kenshiro to defeat him.
