Colonel

Colonel (カーネル or 大佐, Taisa) is a former Red Beret who used to loyally serve his country. Once he discovered his superiors were corrupt bureaucrats, however, Colonel refused to be a puppet to people he couldn't respect. After his former superiors caused the very war that ravaged the world, Colonel was convinced that he and his surviving men were the "chosen ones". Embracing the land's age of savagery, he leads his organized group called GOLAN. He believes he is creating a land "fit for the gods", crudely recruiting young men into his forces and kidnapping women to bear their children. He prides himself as the strongest murderer of the new era.

Rin is captured with other women on one of GOLAN's trucks and is rescued by a wandering Kenshiro. Learning of the group's cruelty from their victims, he seeks to avenge them by facing Colonel directly. During their showdown, Colonel smugly brags about his strength and attacks Kenshiro with his greatest technique. After a brief struggle, Hokuto Shinken proves superior. Kenshiro retaliates by pressing a single pressure point on Colonel's forehead, which ruthlessly breaks every bone in his body before he dies.

Fighting Style
Nanto Muonken (South Star Silent Fist) is one of the 108 styles found within the Nanto Seiken school. According to the Colonel, it is the world's deadliest assassination technique. He can expertly predict his opponent's movements as though he were moving at the speed of light. After he sidesteps his opponent's attacks, he uses his iron nails or steel boomerangs to attack his enemy's blind spots. The process appears as though he is using telepathy to manipulate his foe into his attacks.
