Shew

Shew (シュウ, Shuu) 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.
