In the original manga, Shin was only a rival until Kenshirō defeated him and considered him a [[Tomo|friend]] thereafter because of their kindred love for Yuria. In the television series and movie adaptation, Shin was said to be friends with Kenshirō, having grown up like brothers, before betraying him.


Shin's army is also notably more extensive in the television series. In addition to his four generals ([[Heart]], [[Spade]], [[Diamond]], and [[Club]]), it also includes the [[Golan|God's Army]] organization, and [[Jackal]]'s gang, who are both subsumed under his command. After Kenshirō continuously defied his army, Shin gathers his remaining troops and launches an all-out assault against Kenshirō as he approaches Southern Cross. After Kenshirō is presumed dead, [[Barcom]] seizes the opportunity to plot a mutiny against Shin, and although Shin defeats him, the city is destroyed during the insurrection. With Shin vowing to build another Southern Cross, Yuria decides to commit suicide from the palace balcony and prevent the violence repeating itself.

In the 1986 movie, Shin's army is defeated by Raoh's troops who invaded Southern Cross before Kenshirō's arrival, whilst Shin is defeated off-screen by Raoh himself. When Kenshirō finally arrives, Shin is already dying from his previous fight with Raoh, but in his last moments he reveals the location of Raoh, who has also abducted Yuria.
