In the anime, the Southern Cross wasn't established yet and was moved from his fortress to present Yuria his love to her. It is constantly populated by Shin's army and slaves they bring in. They are situated in a valley, shaped as an eye in the center of what looks like an iris, near a patch of forest. The slaves were given some decency under Yuria's request and Shin's orders much to the army's disgruntlement.
Soon, Temujina tipped Kenshiro the location of Southern Cross. Kenshiro, Bat, Lin and Jennifer head there to confront Shin and the King organization. The army held a steadfast defense against Kenshiro's group, which resulted in Jennifer's death. After Kenshiro's presumed death, the army is restless over Shin's rule and attempted a coup against Shin led by Barcom. However, Barcom is killed and the rest of King's army proceed to raze the city and kill any civilians in the process. The rest either fled to the wasteland or died in the ensuring chaos. The one remaining behind is Shin and his bodyguard along with Yuria. Meanwhile, Raoh headed to Southern Cross to claim Yuria.
