Yeah. I feel like the raitai tournament was where the series' use of Baki changed. He got the sex power up, he uno reversed a fatal poison, and from that day forward he was basically on par with the series' heaviest hitters. To an extent where he rarely fights unless it's The pivotal fight of an arc.

And sometimes not even then. Baki barely shows up in the manga named after him

I mean he fought Yujiro and is clearly leagues ahead of everyone else in the manga so its hard to have him fight other people now

Itagaki is on the old mangaka tenure track that the guy who does ippo is on. Fart out a couple of 8 page chapters every few months and enjoy your golden years

Absolute clown.
I love how Jack becomes the biggest goddamn goober whenever he's got to behave like a human being instead of a fightman. It's adorable.

not baki or even itagaki related really, but this is probably the best thread for it.

a new garouden anime, a story about fujimaki. not sure if this is completely original, or is based on some side story from the garouden novels. wish it used itagaki or taniguchis style though

It's funny that somehow of the Hanma boys JACK has better table manners.

We will get a graphic and detailed philosophical diatribe about how birthing a child is like fighting and that a baby comes out of the womb fighting this meaning fighting is the first instinct in humans. Also women are then technically the best fighters or some poo poo. The next arc will be a woman with strong pelvic floor muscles.

Canonically it makes sense since he spends a lot of time eating at expensive restaurants.

Women are strong like sumo is strong... in a way that cannot affect punchmans to any significant degree. But strong nonetheless. The kind of strong that makes informed observers say 'hoo-boy, that is some strength right there', as they watch a woman being decisively, overwhelmingly defeated.

The powerful pelvic floor muscle woman will be constantly talked up by the narrator and audience, while losing 10 fights in a row to the Baki supporting cast. Biscuit will internally monologue that her pelvic floor muscles are unlike anything even he has seen, before defeating her in a single strike (but he will muse afterwards about how it was a risky situation).
