Jack is going to job next and then some dumb Baki part 1 guy becomes the next Motobe and defeats the sumo guy because he's the only one of the Baki Crew to have felt the true power of being diaped up. Maybe that professional wrestling guy who was supposed to fight Baki at some point and nearly killed Hulk Hogan?

I don't like that the official netflix translation calls Speck "Spec". He's Speck. Like the german word for bacon.

I guess they just really like releasing things 12 episodes at a time. I remember them holding onto the second half of Saiki K s2 for months.

Don't get any favourites in this manga because they are all gonna get chumped, mercilessly and relentlessly

Including Baki himself

The only exception to this is Yujiro

Muhammed Ali Jr walking out the door was one of the all-time top moments of any Baki series. Does anyone remember the chapter number so I can read it again?

the whole of the Ali Jr./Yujiro-encounter happens in chapters 171 & 172 and agreed, it's a good one

yeah, it happens near the end of the Maximum Tournament, where Yujiro takes on all the losers at once, then goes after the winners until a bunch of Tokugawa's guys in the stands tranq him and catch him in a net

I can't find a clip of it but it definitely happened

Just got done watching the anime on Netflix. This series is incredible, Spec and his fight was amazing. Too bad Netflix is dumb and has to split this into two seasons for some reason.

This anime is not that great there's too many episodes and these episodes spend way too much time on the Osaka Dave segments.

So I just finished reading the Convicts saga (I tried starting from the beginning, but the translation was poo poo).

I love this idiot series already, and Yujiro might be my favourite manga villain ever.

Yeah the CGI is awful

Everything else is truly wonderful

In other news I can't find translated scans of the last part of the original maximum tournament from the first manga, nor the entire musashi arc and onwards. This manga is all over the drat place on the internet

There aren't any translated scans of either freely available but there's translations for the tournament arc if you look for them in the /a/ archives.

I didn't bother going through the trouble of finding the manga so I watched the old anime on youtube. I really liked the moment where Hanayama stops by Baki's place before his fight with Yuujiro, I thought that was an oddly sweet moment in a series all about insane punchmans

I think all of the fighters being friends and hanging out a bit in Baki is why Kengan Asura makes such a big deal about it

I've only watched the netflix anime so bear with me. Why the gently caress does everyone let Dorian get away with so much bullshit? He's constantly proven to be a cheating rear end in a top hat.

Echoing the ethos of the entire series, if no-one beats your rear end for doing something, it's legal.

Anyway, after starting with the convicts arc, I'm really tempted to watch the old anime before I continue. I wanna know what led to this and the old manga translations are fried poo poo.

well, to be fair, the trauma would most likely have been very short-lived.

As would have been Osaka Dave himself.
