God, Baki owns so much. Love this well they keep returning to of "and then I imagined it perfectly in my mental mind, for fighting." All the years of anime built up to a beautiful finish. Those Hanmas are straight cuckoo.

People say Itagaki's fetish is the muscles. Nah, it's the melting.

I kind of wonder what the exact point was where Yujiro became untouchable god-king in the series and it was fully committed to never ever showing him fail at anything ever again. Like even early on when they're setting him up as untouchable he still gets darted and locked in a cell for a while. Granted he gets out again but he wasn't in control of that situation and that just kind of doesn't happen again. By the time it's time for the big fight the whole series built up to at most Baki's allowed to make him bleed before he gets his rear end beat. Yujiro is no longer the antagonist but Itagaki's self insert perfect special boy who is king poo poo of gently caress mountain and never loses at anything

I think at one point probably during one of those chapters where Yujiro is menacing the US president itagaki thought "lmao this guy is just too cool"

At some point someone held a door closed and he couldn't open it. The idea of anything physically overpowering Yujiro Hanma feels baffling with where the series has gone nowadays.

Just physically? P sure current Yuujiro could conclusively refute Goedel's Incompleteness Theorems by glaring at them hard enough.

It kinda sucks because whenever they introduce a new big badass character to be the guy to beat for an arc they obviously have to measure up against Yujiro to make an impact but they can't actually fight him because he's not allowed to lose. So Yujiro gets super excited to fight Pickle and seems genuinely impressed by him but then never fights for literally no reason, or he fights Musashi but has to be interrupted before one of them has to kill the other one. Or in the case of the fuckin sumo arc even he doesn't give a poo poo and just flattens the one dude stupid enough to fight him

I thought the point there is that Yujiro just has so much "man essence" that literally everyone is a woman in his eyes.

Yujiro is such a weird loving character

He's a murderer and raper of both men and women (that's Jacks entire backstory!) but he's still treated as the Coolest Guy On The Planet
