11. Yujiro. Not so much that readers don't like him, but that the author loving adores him, to the point that some downright horrific acts (like murdering Baki's mom) are presented in an uncomfortably sympathetic light (he murdered her with love).

True, when Yujiro was introduced, he was supposed to the character you loved to hate. He was a great villain, and purposefully played the part just to motivate Baki to get stronger. But then, after the conclusion of Son of Ogre, the author softened him up.

For example, in Grappler Baki, Baki's Mom punched Yujiro in the face, and was murdered for it. She dared to strike Yujiro, and her punishment was death. Everybody seemed to accept it, because he was a brutal rear end in a top hat who showed no mercy. It was still an important plot point, because Baki wanted revenge, and was pushed to new heights in his goal to confront his father. But yes, for the record, killing Baki's Mom was way over the line.

But then, much more recently, Hanayama punched Yujiro in the face about a hundred times harder (in fact, Yujiro's nose even bled) and Yujiro let Hanayama off the hook by hurling him across the street into a store, and calling it a day. What?? That's even more surprising when you consider that the "villain" Yujiro once beat a younger Hanayama within an inch of his life for no good reason. Just because he could, really.

And more recently, Motobe dared to interrupt a serious match between Yujiro and Musashi, and was barely punished for it. Yujiro simply knocked him out, and as he was about to become more severe, Musashi spoke up, and Yujiro showed mercy. Yujiro listened to another person and showed mercy. That's practically unheard of.

So maybe Yujiro is getting older and a little bit more mature. I mean, he hasn't ripped anyone's face off for a long time. And Yujiro even takes the time to "autograph" stuff for kids!

Here's a link to the rough translations of Baki Dou Chapter 136. The english translations are good, but the photos from the chapter are poor.

This link has high quality scans of the Chapter, but they're in Korean.

Musashi's imagination technique is so developed that even viewers at home could see him "materialize" a mind katana and slash the interviewer.

In Grappler Baki, I can't figure out why the Surgeon guy Kurehea's patients hate him or want Baki to beat his rear end? Did he just not treat them properly or he did experiments on them I can't figure out.

Also the funniest part is when the crowd acts disgusted at someone being almost killed like you dumbshits did u not know what u bought tickets for?

Just for fun, I'd love to see the United States send Oliva after Musashi, since he's already beaten up a bunch of cops and seems to be turning into a well-known fugitive. However, I'm guessing Musashi will remain safe while he's in Japan, thanks to Tokugawa's limitless bank account and major political influence.

Maybe nations around the globe will see Musashi's footage, and eventually agree to sign a non-aggression declaration with him, as they did with Yujiro? I just want a whole chapter of Musashi cutting Trump into ribbons using his mind katana.

Also, the World's Strongest Boy is quickly becoming old news, and needs to do something to become relevant again. He doesn't really care about the spotlight, but he should care about having a rematch with Musashi.

Apparently, Hillary was a friend of Emi, Baki's Mom. Hillary approaches Yujiro and tries to make the the same non-aggression declaration oath we just saw Trump go through.

Edit: Can someone who understands Korean explain Yujiro's raging boner? Thanks.

I thought I was ready for that chapter

I was not ready for that chapter

Hillnery goes to do her own personal pledge to Yuujirou in an effort to get him on her side, oust Trump from office, and keep America safe from Trump. Yuujirou refuses, but she begs him to let her make the pledge, saying that she was Baki's mom's friend. Yuujirou says that he knows that and that he doesn't need a pledge to keep any of Emi's friends safe, then casually adds that if Hillnery persists in trying to swear her allegiance regardless, he'll rape her over and over. Hillnery mumbles that her body probably couldn't take that and cheerfully leaves.

The boner is not explained

That chapter kinda reminds me of this conversation. Its so amazingly ridiculous to have the confirmation of "Hey I'm watching out for you already" followed by the threat of rape as a replacement for saying "GOD JUST LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY".

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I love that the author is a nutjob who doesn't care about political correctness and does whatever he wants. On the other hand, I recognize that chapters like this will divide the audience, and could cause a ton of controversy.

Nice, good to hear from you again! Is that the DVD box set that has the new Baki OAD, or has that not been released yet?

My favorite thing about those pictures are the fake names for world leaders.

Only Itagaki is crazy enough to put a thin-skinned, lawsuit-happy person like Trump in his manga, and not even bother to change his name. Personally, I was excited for Ronald Rump or some other silly parody name, but I guess he's going with Trump and Hillary. In the past, I remember seeing a translation with "George W Bosh," but maybe the author just doesn't care anymore?

I can't wait till Yujiro and Trump have adventures together. They're gonna go for a leisurely drive in the President's motorcade, and Yujiro will make Trump stick his head out the window and pant like a dog. And heaven forbid Yujiro ever sees or meets Ivanka, that would be a shitstorm.

Thanks! It's Shaman. Never heard of it before. Pretty bizarre stuff:

quote:

One man and one act can change the world. That man is Seto Hajime, and the act is prostrating himself on the ground. This simple act can change so many important things. It can save a girl from the yakuza or convince a stubborn chef to change his time-honored menu. Seto will also use his ability to affect change in his work as a high school teacher. After encountering Seto and his overwhelming humility, the world will never be the same!



The manga also has a character who looks exactly like a female version of Baki:
