| ~ Souther |
Summary
Souther is the sole user of Nanto Hōō Ken, and one of the Nanto Rokusei Ken, corresponding to the Star of Leadership (Shōsei). The Star of Leadership rules all over all the Nanto stars; therefore, Souther is the greatest of all the users of Nanto Seiken, and none of them can defeat him. After his father and mentor, Ogai, tricked him into killing him so he could properly succeed him, a traumatized Souther shut out his emotions. Feared as a merciless tyrant, he kidnaps children from across the wasteland, forcing them to build the Holy Cross Mausoleum, a tomb for his long-dead mentor.

As a fighter, he was deemed as the strongest of all other sects of Nanto, with no one able to defeat him. He is also skilled enough to fight against Hokuto Shinken's successor Kenshiro, able to initially overwhelm him with both his immunity to pressure points and wound Kenshiro while also avoiding the latter's attacks and was even able to fight him despite Kenshiro learning his secret. Leader of his own army.)
Weaknesses: If Souther's opponent figures out his "Emperor's Armor", they can circumvent his normal immunity to pressure point attacks.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
-Emperor's Armor: Souther's "Emperor's Armor" is actually Situs inversus dextrocardia; the positions of all of his organs and pressure points are reversed. Due to this, he is immune to standard uses of pressure point attacks, as his pressure points are not where they should be. However, this can be circumvented if his enemy figures out this secret.
-Nanto Seiken: The opposite martial art to Hokuto Shinken. While Hokuto Shinken revolves around destroying an opponent from the inside, Nanto Seiken revolves around destroying them from the outside, slashing and stabbing to create waves of air pressure that slice opponents apart. Souther practices Nanto Hōō Ken, the ultimate form of Nanto Seiken, practiced solely by Souther following the death of his mentor. Like Hokuto Shinken, and unlike the other sects of Nanto, Nanto Hōō Ken can only be passed down from a single mentor to a single successor; unlike Hokuto Shinken, however, the student must slay their teacher to master the art. The style is freeform; it has no normal stances, relying on a phenomenal, formless speed and power.
- Kyokusei Jūji Ken: Souther slashes his hands in a cross, creating a cross-shaped burst of razor sharp air pressure that cuts into his opponent.
- Tenshō Jūji Hō: The sole stance of Nanto Hōō Ken, used only against a worthy opponent. Through this technique, Souther can levitate, launching into dashing glide attacks that pass through his opponent's defenses and rip them apart.
