Spade (スペード, Supēdo): The first of Shin's minions that appears in the manga. Kenshiro first confronts Spade while he's after Misumi, which results in the loss of Spade's right eye when Kenshiro uses the Nishi Shinku Ha to deflect an arrow from Spade's bowgun back at him.; Later he attacks Misumi's village in retaliation for his earlier defeat. Kenshiro hurries back to the village but is too late to save Misumi from Spade. Kenshiro fights Spade and kills him with the Hokuto Zankai Ken (Fist of Remorse), giving him three seconds (seven, in the anime) to reflect on his sins before he explodes.
