Hyoh was favored by Jukei over Kaioh due to his bloodline, but plays a subordinate role to Kaioh in the present. Unlike Kaioh, Hyoh is initially portrayed as a more benevolent ruler until he goes insane and turns evil after Sayaka's death. He returns to his normal self after fighting Ken and regains his lost memories. He rescues Lin from the Warriors of Shura while Ken fights against Kaioh.

Badly injured during the battle against Kaioh's forces, he manages to reach Kenshiro and Kaioh just in time to see their battle conclude before passing away in Kaioh's arms.
