- Shuren of the Flames (炎のシュレン Honō no Shuren)
- Shuren is a member of the Nanto Goshasei and leader of the Crimson Army. He uses a unique martial art which manipulates phosphorous to engulf enemies with deadly flames.
- After the death of Hyui, his "brother star", Shuren mobilizes his Crimson Army against Ken-Oh's forces to take his revenge. Shuren preemptively ambushes Ken-Oh's army by launching flaming arrows at them as they enter a valley.
- Afterwards, Shuren fights against two of Ken-Oh's most disciplined warriors before challenging the man himself. Learning from Hyui's mistake, Shuren blinds Raoh with flames and manages to attack him from behind but Raoh reacts in time, crushing Shuren's fist and blocking his follow-up kick. With one final attempt, Shuren performs a self-immolating attack to ensure that Raoh will never reach the Last Nanto General. This proves futile against Raoh's strength, who boasts that Shuren's flames will never consume his ambition and brutally snaps his neck to prove it.
TV Series
- In the anime series, Shuren holds a funeral pyre for his fallen comrade Hyui by torching his castle to ensure there is no turning back for him and his army in their upcoming battle with Ken-Oh. He also fights against one of Ken-Oh's invasion forces before challenging the main army.
Shin Kyūseishu Densetsu Hokuto no Ken

- In Raoh Den: Gekitō no Shō, there is a shorter version of Shuren's fight with Raoh. He launches a fireball at Raoh before flying at him head-on. Raoh easily deflects the attack, causing Shuren to burst into flames.
