Been reading the original Grappler Baki manga. Its pretty good don't know how Yujiro survived a war without using any weapons except his bare hands. All the characters are badass but Yujiro is on another level.

The better question is how anyone else survived that war.

He's a man who's known to be as strong or stronger than the entire United States Army plus the Marine Corps and every division and weapon short of a tactical nuke.

reminder that the United States as a nation has signed a non aggression pact with Hanma Yuujirou

Isn't it a full on alliance and not just non-aggression pact? Cause I thought that is what kept other people or governments from other countries from going after him, cause even if they sniped him, bombed him, etc it would just mean the US would then have to act.

Oh hell no. I'm still counting on Itagaki loving with us with all the Motobe stuff and him just winning because of elemental Ninja vs Samurai superiority or getting creamed after all that talk.

I've only read bits and pieces of original Grappler Baki, but read everything from New Grappler and up. The only fight I've seen Motobe in was when he was going against the poison vacuum hand guy, who did beat both Baki and Goki if I remember. Motobe pretty thoroughly ruined him, and only stopped when Yujiro came and just snapped his sword with his bare hands.


Does Motobe get some massive humbling moment or something in Grappler Baki that would maybe spurn him to just completely revamping his game, assuming that E. Honda picture above wasn't it?

Nice, I always recommend reading New Grappler Baki. That's the best stuff. You're right that Motobe ruined Yanagi, the poison hand guy. In retrospect, that scene proved Motobe is a capable fighter while he's equipped with weapons. I think the general consensus is that we may not like Motobe, but we acknowledge that he's "strong," in his own way. But without weapons? Maybe not. As mentioned above, E. Honda certainly didn't think so.

I always interpreted the scene with Yanagi, Motobe, and Yujiro as depicting the natural order of things within the Baki-verse. You've got two fighters who were well-suited for each other, and they're approaching the conclusion of their fight. Then, suddenly, seemingly from out of nowhere, Yujiro appears and cockblocks Motobe, and ruins his moment of being cool. Instead, Yujiro humiliates Motobe by snapping his katana with his thumb, which was a ridiculous display of power. In that moment, Motobe and Yanagi both silently "accepted defeat" from Yujiro, and it was glorious.

I'm not sure why Yujiro didn't snap Musashi's katana, but that's a different discussion.

The island nation of Japan.

And as for the reason - I'll go out on a limb here and say its because scanlators are absolute fucktards.

I was waiting to read the later chapters until the scanlators caught up on the chapters in between but its been so long that I lost my patience and read the newest chapters. They're pretty good!

Also the original Grappler Baki is not completely scanlated which sucks. I think its the same scan team who does Baki Dou but they only do it once in a while.

You've been reading the Spinyback translations up until 103, and the newer chapters were most likely done by the Wild Fang Project (or somebody else?). I don't know, I'm not affiliated with either group. Musashi refers to Pickle as a "Palace of Muscle," which was a very specific phrase also used in the Wild Fang translations. That would also explain the noticeable difference in quality. I know Spinyback is in desperate need of a redrawer for their team, so maybe they just put up the latest chapters in the mean time.

But to answer your question, the only translations I've found between 103 and 117 were on 4chan. They're just rough translations, but if you search the 4chan archive for "Baki Dou 105" the translation thread will show up. I believe the 4chan translations were done by a member of the Spinyback team, too. Hope this helps.
