do their faces have abs or...

A Big Thing about being the baddest of the bad rear end martial artists is being able to grit your teeth with shattering force. So yes, face-abs can totally be a thing.

Baki pseudo-scientific babble is the best pseudo-scientific babble.

I was going to say Retsu's bar fight was awesome but I can't really think of a bad fight in any Baki series really

If there were any then Sikorsky was part of them. Complete waste of what could have been an interesting gimmick on a handful of curbstomp fights.

I always wonder why dudes even pick fights with Yujiro of their own accord. Guys that should know who he is. I guess it's just because the entire cast is made up of giant fightboys with more muscle than brains and they just want to punch each other to death. (but then live anyway through increasingly absurd amounts of punishment)

I think the last one to do so was Hanayama and that was when everyone was being afflicted with the dreaded curse of The Yawns so he required some extreme thrills to feel again.

Yujiro has always been the shittiest part of this series though so whenever the plot doesn't even tangentially involve him is when Baki is at its best.

I'd actually be really surprised if there's never been a throwaway "look at this strong sumo guy, now look at this new character totally destroy him" moment in any previous Baki series like there have been with countless MMA fighters and kickboxers.

That happened in Garouden, but I'm drawing a blank on sumo in Baki apart from the one who participated in the tournament in the first series

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

Whats the order of the mangas? I took a break from reading Grappler Baki because it didn't have many chapters translated a while back. Randomly started watching the netflix series and man I love this series so much. All my favorite parts of shounen, over the top craziness going on.

Grappler Baki --> New Baki (what the Netflix anime is based on) --> Baki - Son Of Ogre --> currently Baki Dou (first the Miyamoto Musashi arc, we're currently on Thicc Boy Season)

AFAIK due to hilarious translator pettiness only New Baki and Son of Ogre are available completely translated, Grappler Baki and the Musashi arc of Dou get sporadic releases here and there and the sumo arc is being translated as it is released (slowly).

It apparently is fully translated and just stops out of nowhere, with none of the promised huge fights of the series really manifesting. It's disappointing as gently caress.

There's a new(?) group that's pumping out new chapters from the first series, as well as redoing the series from the start. They're promising to release a full volume per week, most recent just got up to the second round of the big tournament arc. Overjoyed if this finally lets us have a proper run of the first series.
