Shew

Shew (シュウ, Shuu) is one of the six successors of the Nanto Seiken style. His star is the "Benevolence Star", which states that he is destined to sacrifice himself for others. He is an old friend of Rei and a former colleague of Thouzer. Both he and Thouzer once oversaw a deadly training event for a younger Kenshiro. When Kenshiro lost against Shew, the punishment for not completing his task was to be put to death. As the youth's genuine acceptance of his fate invoked his star, Shew pleaded for Kenshiro's life to be spared. In exchange for the boy's life, he cut his own eyes and lived as a blind man.

To counter Thouzer's army and cruelty, Shew leads a resistance against him to protect the innocent families and children. He encounters an adult Kenshiro and tests his opponent's strength in a short match. Pleased with Kenshiro's progress, he asks the traveler to stop Thouzer. While Kenshiro recuperates from his defeat from Thouzer, Shew faces his adversary in combat.

However, when Thouzer threatens to kill his resistance followers, Shew loses his focus and is easily defeated when Thouzer slices his legs. Abusing the fate of Shew's star by threatening his followers, Thouzer orders Shew to climb the pyramid tomb with his wounds and place the final stone at the top. As he painfully reaches the final step, Thouzer orders his men to fire arrows at Shew and personally throws a spear to pierce through Shew's chest. Entrusting Kenshiro with the fate of the future, Shew's strength gives out and he is fatally flatten by the same block he carried.

In the original series, he miraculously regains his sight before his demise and has no regrets in his life upon seeing Kenshiro.

Techniques

 * Nanto Rekkyaku Zanjin (South Dipper Extreme Violent Leg Killing Position) - Shew stands on his hands and spins his legs around in circles, before finishing with a hop kick.
 * Yugen Shou (Distracting Phantom Fist) - Shew stands upright and circles both of his hands in a circular motion. It creates a mirage effect, making his final strike unpredictable to his opponent. Uses against Kenshiro in the original series.
 * Nanto Rekkyaku Kubu (South Dipper Extreme Violent Leg Air Dance) - Shew swiftly moves forward while doing windmill kicks with one leg.

Fighting Style
Nanto Hakurōken (South Dipper White Heron Fist) is a style which focuses on powerful kicking techniques to slice its opponents. They can also use their hands to create an illusion technique to overwhelm their foes. The technique has some Capoeira inspired kicks within it.

In addition to his martial arts, Shew has the ability to "sense the hearts" of others, allowing him to discern the locations of people around him despite his blindness.
