Added DiffLines:

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Takes out Kenshiro with a wrecking ball in the anime. However, despite having Kenshiro dead to rights, Sarge takes him straight to the base instead of killing him then and there. Had he done so, Kenshiro wouldn't have been able to eliminate God's Army from their own HQ.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: "Nice" is a stretch, but the acts of him murdering a girl's parents was given to a search captain in the anime. The worst things Major does in the anime is order a soldier to kill his brother and kills the villagers that tried to kill him and his men.


Added DiffLines:

* SmugSmiler: A very sinister example. He never hides the pleasure he takes in the vile acts he commits.

Added DiffLines:

* NeverMyFault: He's bewildered over Yuria's rejection and lays all the blame on Kenshiro for standing in the way of his romantic pursuit. The only reason Yuria doesn't love him back is A- she's already engaged to Kenshiro, B- he forced Yuria into staying with him while he's torturing Kenshiro to near death, and C- he committed RapePillageAndBurn as a means of wooing Yuria with a lot of vast riches and a literal city for her. He refuses to understand why someone as kindhearted as Yuria would be horrified of such atrocities committed under her name.

The commander of the Golden Wolf army under Shin. He is also the inventor of the Nanto Ningen Hodan (South Star Human Cannonball).

* AwesomeButImpractical: The premise of Nanto Ningen Houdan involves launching out of a cannon and striking down the opposition. Garekki and his men make it look easy to perform despite that they carefully plan out their attacks in advance.
* GunboatDiplomacy: He resorts to this in order to get Gina Village to hand over Kenshiro. When the village denies having him, Garekki gives them two hours (during his lunch break) to bring Kenshiro to him or the Golden Wolf army would attack.

%%* BadassBiker
* HeroicSacrifice: Jennifer guides Kenshiro (along with Bat and Rin) towards Southern Cross so that he can kill Shin. They encounter an artillery cannon at the outskirts of Southern Cross, and after barely avoiding being killed by an initial barrage, Jennifer tells Kenshiro that she'll ride out and deliberately draw their fire, giving him an opportunity to safely attack them during the time when they're reloading between shots. Kenshiro doesn't say anything to dissuade her, with his expression suggesting he knows it's the best option in the situation despite Kenshiro generally not wanting innocent people to die on his behalf. Even if Kenshiro could somehow survive a direct hit with an artillery shell (a ridiculous feat even by Hokuto users' standards), he's also got Bat and Rin along with him in the jeep who are targets, and thus Jennifer's sacrifice saves all three of them.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Bears many of Mamiya's personality traits and mind you she appears near the end of the Shin arc just a few episodes before the TV series enters the Fang arc.

By the time he met Kenshiro, he was already limping and died upon speaking with the Hokuto Shinken successor. His sacrifice was definitely not in vain because while the details he gave were vague, his words gave Kenshiro an idea of where to go to find Southern Cross thus speeding up his journey considerably and just right before Raoh's army marched upon the city to conquer it.

[[folder:Garou]]

Ryuga's second in command, Garou helped lead Ryuga's soldiers in bringing order to Raoh's territories, the soldiers having attempted rebellion in his absence. He is a master of Taizan-ryū Zanjin Battōjutsu, a martial art that incorporates his sword. He makes it a point that his loyalty is to Ryuga rather than to Raoh himself.
-----
[[hardline]]
* AFatherToHisMen: He cares about those under his command enough that he demands them to avoid trying to avenge him when Ken beats him, as he knows that Ken will easily kill them.
* AlasPoorVillain: One of the less wicked members of Ken-Oh's army. When he's defeated he, like his boss, convey that they hope Ken can finally make the world a better place.

* AnimalMotifs: Wolves. His name is the Japanese word for a Wolf, and he travels accompanied by his subordinates, much like how Wolves travel in packs. There's also his unquestioning loyalty towards his master Ryuga which is similar to a dog's loyalty to their human.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: He is honorable, loyal, respectful, dignified, and noble, befitting of his Samurai-like appearance.
* EliteMooks: Ryuga's forces self describe themselves as this and it shows. They function more like a trained group of soldiers rather than the brutish gangsters that populate the wasteland. It's their division that brings Raoh's deserters to heel.
* FillerVillain: His boss was from the manga, but Garou was created for the anime.
* {{Fingore}}: In his fight with Kenshiro, Kenshiro backhands his sword hand, destroying Garou's fingers.

* NobleDemon: He's an enforcer of a brutal regime, but he does believe in Ryuga's cause. After Kenshiro defeats him, Garou demands that his underlings stand down and not engage Kenshiro in revenge as they would die as well.
* NobleWolf: Invoked by his name as well as him having an actual sense of honor as well as actual morality and compassion, as he cares about his underlings and requests for them to avoid avenging him, as he knows Ken will easily kill them.
* {{Samurai}}: He possesses undying loyalty to his boss Ryuga, has a strong sense of honor, wields a Katana, and his armor resembles a typical suit of Samurai armor.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Ryuga, a man who's goals and ambitions Garou believes in.

[[folder:Bella]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Keiko Toda

A prisoner of Cassandra. She succeeded her father as the user of ''Ranzan Kurenai Ken'' style of fighting. She and her mother were rounded up and imprisoned in Cassandra, later she was deployed by the warden to fight Kenshiro, banking on Ken's inability to hit women to allow her to succeed.
-----
* ActionGirl: Successor to her own martial art, she was one of the series's few female fighters.
* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: A confusing addition to the anime on account of another anime addition. She was sent after Kenshiro because Ken doesn't hit women, except he'd previously fought and killed another anime-only villainess, Patra. Even if Uighur didn't know this, there was very little to indicate Kenshiro WouldntHitAGirl with how few female opponents he'd had.
* AllForNothing: Her mother had already been killed before her fight with Kenshiro started and she got killed by Targel for failing her assignment in the first place.
* AntiVillain: Her mother was taken prisoner by Uighur and she's forced to fight Kenshiro. She doesn't want to fight him and isn't particularly malicious on her own, but she has to save her mother.
* FillerVillain: Like Joker and Balcom, she's an anime-only obstacle for Kenshiro.

[[folder:Balga]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Masaki Terasoma (''Legends of the True Savior'')

One of Raoh's former generals, Balga lost his motivation to fight following his defeat. As his personality becomes softer, the devious Kouketsu takes advantage of this and enslaves Balga and his villagers. In order to work hard to ensure his son Shingo and the other villagers' children are unharmed, Balga plows Kouketsu's fields, despite the unlikelihood of anything growing there. When Kenshiro arrives with Raoh's son Ryu, they defeat Kouketsu and his men, liberating Balga and his people, and reclaiming Balga's honor. After Baran, the "Emperor of Light", is defeated, Kenshiro leaves Ryu in Balga and Shingo's care.
