Thouzer

Souther (サウザー), also sometimes known as Thouther or Thouzer, is a playable character in Hokuto Musou and one of the six successors of the Nanto Seiken style. He is governed by the "General Star" (将星) and is the star which rules over all others within the Nanto constellation. Dubbing himself the Holy Emperor (聖帝, Seitei), he desires to prove his unparalleled might and someday face Raoh. Due to a secret regarding his body, he doesn't fear the dangers of his pressure points being used against him from the Hokuto Shinken's techniques. In the series, he is one of the major villains who defeats and immobilizes Kenshiro.

When he was being trained in his technique, his strict yet kind master, Ougai, became the only person that Souther loved and respected. In order to be the new successor when he was fifteen, Souther was blind-folded and instructed to not withhold his strikes against his last opponent. Souther did as he was told but is shocked to learn that he struck down his own master. After his proud master died within his arms, he swore in aggravation to never rely on love again. As the Holy Emperor, he orders the construction of a pyramid as his master's tomb, forcing several children to build it.

Illusionary Mode
Souther leads his army to invade Miracle Village and encounters Ryuga leading a section of Raoh's troops. Spotting the beaten Toki, Souther decides to have his men pursue him in order to get closer to Raoh. To boost his troops, he has Shin serve under him and tries to do the same with Zeed. With the latter fleeing to Shuu, the Fang Clan also appear to make their own claim in the area. Souther and Shin work together to defeat both parties at once.

Fighting Style
Nanto Hō-Ō Ken is regarded as the strongest technique in the Nanto Seiken and doesn't have any particular specialty or stance like the other Nanto techniques. Like the Hokuto Shinken style, only one successor can inherit it at any time. Each user of the technique has oppositus, reversing the normal positions of their heart as well as their pressure points. Souther is known to slice objects with his fingertips, unifying them to attack in wide and powerful swings.

In the game, he can fight with shockwaves and several cross-shaped inspired energy attacks. His basic attacks consists of kicks, reserving his fists for the more powerful techniques.
