Don't judge me.
This arc really could use some actual back and forth with the fights. It's just people getting defeated pretty much instantly and with no effort.

Can you call it jobbing when the story has long established that Yujiro is the peak of human fighter 2nd only to his actual father/ghost dad?

In the ancient flashback between Sukune and Kehaya, Kehaya loses in a similar fashion.

I feel like it's kind of a dick move to rip off the ears of some guy who you're already easily beating. What was even the point of it when he immediately followed it up by (I think) jabbing his sides, which is what actually ended the match.

It was punishment for the insolent youth. He didn’t listen to Doppos warnings so Doppo took his ears

It's a step up that Yujiro hasn't threatened to rape anyone this chapter. Because that's a thing that Itagaki decided was a thing.

Yujiro has been raping/killing people since the very start of the manga. Itagaki both portrays Yujiro as "The Greatest Thing Ever" and "Also Literally a Vicious Grotesque Ogre" simultaneously

That's how Jack was conceived in the first place (Yujiro raped his mom) and the entire reason Jack decided to become a superhuman in order to fight Yujiro

At this point Yujiro is just Kaido of the Beasts. Maybe next time he'll jump off an airplane without a parachute just to see if he can survive.

I have to say that because we got introduced to a random dude this chapter not because I forgot Yujiro had no concept of consent when it came to Jack's mom. Wanting to flex on modern machinery is more of a normal Yujiro thing although he still won't ask for that salty runback against the one dude with the tranquilizer gun that took him down in the original series.

Half the time in Baki it's honorable to not maim you're opponent. The other half of the time it's dishonorable to not maim your opponent. I think Itagaki flips a coin each fight.

I know it won't happen but the most baller move that could happen right now is if in the next chapter Yujiro just has a harpoon through his chest and fuckin dies. The end, no moral. Just when the cloud dissipates, Yujiro is lying completely dead on the pavement.

Has an injury ever mattered in the Bakiverse?

Doppo's literal exploded face grew back.

Retsu was beating up pro boxers with a peg leg.

I guess Yuri Chakovsky retired or whatever because Hanayama grabbed him.

Nah. After Grappler Baki they were 100% super heros doing magic and poo poo. Even in Grappler Baki they were fighting mystical monkey beasts and poo poo. An injury only matters if Itagaki wants it to matter and only for as long as it matters for that plot point.

Retsu can just be revived whenever they want and he's dead and eaten. Jack has used "medical science" to become....whatever he is. There are no stakes. If Sumo boi wants to have his ears back his options range from having one of the many SUPER DOCTORS perfectly sew them back on to letting himself be euthanized while a new body is grown for him and then letting that spirit medium return his soul to the empty husk.

I'd argue that Retsu losing his leg mattered in the sense that it forced his character to at least try something different even if, as I remember, he was still basically using kung fu even as a boxer. But overall injuries that don't result in death don't matter in the short or long run. It's like how losing teeth in baki is like how fighters say hello and then waltz off to the dentist for fresh implants.

I mean I guess some injuries do stick, like Doppo lost his eye during the series and never got it back but considering it's never effected him (other than making him badass) yeah I don't think injuries really matter. Honestly in the tone of the series, Doppo taking his ears off is honestly just normal Baki levels of violence

Considering all the poo poo Hayanama has had happen to him, the answer is overwhelming no.
