** At one point in said flashback with the Goshasei (And not his own army men BTW) Shin reckons that if Raoh thinks Yuria is dead he won't go looking for her. He's also pretty sad over her unconsciously saying Ken's name and not his own proving she loves Ken instead of him, which hastens Shin's decision. Raoh was on his way there too apparently. Shin decided that if Ken believed Yuria to be dead, Raoh would most likely believe it too, especially if he found Shin's beaten body in a grave Ken dug for him, wherein Raoh would come to the obvious conclusion, So it was partly spite for Ken but also hiding Yuria from Raoh. Of course there's also that Yuria doll...
* Which reminds me, where DID Shin get the materials for a perfect mannequin of Yuria's likeness in a post-apocalyptic future?

***** That's really what makes Souther kind of a tragic character; when his Master makes Souther kill him as a result of the rule of "there can only be one successor", he undergoes a complete mental breakdown and rebels against love (which he sees as being directly linked to sadness). As Kenshiro reminds him, love doesn't always result in pain.

**** Also when you think about it, it's highly unlikely anyone actually believed Souther when he said he feels no love whatsoever after hearing the story about his dead master. By being so vocal about discarding love he seems to be still feeling it to some degree - as the characters really like mentioning in his Dream Mode in Hokuto Musou. Also, preserving and toting your master's corpse around, even through a nuclear apocalypse and established wasteland, for what appears to be roughly 15 years (guessing since he was 15 when he succeeded Hoou Ken and looked older in Kenshirou's flashback to fighting Shuu which was likely a decade before the present) doesn't really make a good case for the abandonment of all love.

*Is there some cultural reason to why a villain is apparently redeemed just by crying a little before he dies? Souther is the most blatant example, even if hes not forgiven per se they try to tack on some vaguely sympathetic Freudian Excuse, even though the monstrous things he's done would make his master shun him, but damn near EVERY major villain seems to have one of these. Doesnt matter if theyve genocided thousands, just cry a little, and Kenshiro will be sad that youre dead.

** He was rebelling to his destiny as a "neglected star". The reaction of the monks to his mother sacrifice was about "no big deal, that's what servants are all about". He did not find so fair that his role and that of his beloved mother was to suffer for the upperclassmen, and if he did not start an evil and demonical cult he would have also been right. Kenshiro gets his point, it could be the reason why [[spoiler: he adopts Raoh son after Raoh death]] .

I'm guessing the former is they expected someone who was in an anti-radiation safety suit to do that, and the latter is because only said individuals would know when it was safe to come out and it'd be unsafe to just open it ( how did they know it was safe to open?), but still. \

* Anyone else perplexed as to why Kaioh decided to become evil in the first place? I mean, it's a pretty lame excuse for becoming evil that your mother makes a HeroicSacrifice to save somebody. If anything, he should be ''proud'' of her sacrifice, and be pushed to do ''good'' rather than evil. Instead he is all "My mother that I love willingly sacrificed herself out of love so I'm gonna be evil to avenge her". If I must say, that is really the ''lamest'' FreudianExcuse in the entire series. At least Souther had a decent justification for being evil, which Kaioh simply didn't have.
