what happens if he does beat baki though
He won't and nobody should believe otherwise. If he does reality will immediately BSOD and restore from the last backup.

To be fair that's like a moderate ouchie in the world of Baki. You just slap hands back on it's fine.

Sukune really speedrunning the Ali Jr route.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised to see Ali himself show up to clown on sumo a little more

To be fair, it was Oliva himself flexing that actually fully destroyed his own ribcage.

I love it. there was absolutely no reason for him to blow up his own ribcage like that

The dumbest part of that fight was Oliva breaking his own hand.

Baki just got a completely unrelated call and it turns out they're pitting Sukune against Kato because everyone feels bad for him

Look, "that's not blood in my mouth it's victory wine" is a requirement for every Baki character. Baki characters are the dumbest motherfuckers in existence. If they weren't they wouldn't do half the poo poo they do. I can't believe we lost Ali Jr only to get this guy down the road though.

I really don't like it when any series keeps trying to hype up something only to have it deflate immediately. But when Itagaki does it I get really annoyed.

I still stand by my conspiracy theory that this series turned out like this because Itagaki was contracted then stiffed by the Japan Sumo Association

Pretty much every character in this manga gets completely crushed except Baki and Yujiro

Even Musashi, which was clearly a character the author had a boner for, got completely humiliated

musashi cleaved his way through the entire cast just short of yujiro, lost to motobe on ideological grounds so i mean as a narrative thing fine, and then he cleaved through the JSDF before losing to not just baki but a sneak attack soul suppression

monster heel destroys territory, loses a few key times and leaves town, perfect booking
