Four peg leg Retsu careening through opponents like a goddamn pinwheel.

Kaku Kaioh coming up with yet another thousands-year old Chinese martial art master technique that gets destroyed by a Japanese übermensch in just about ten pages.

Retsu will keep fighting even with a peg-head.

We just need to have a spin off of Orochi punching people, smiling while punching people, getting injured in horrific ways only to be repaired again and then punching more people.

Reminder there is also a oneshot spinoff where Baki and his girlfriend have sex that's drawn and formatted pretty much exactly like a fight scene

In Grappler Baki, I can't figure out why the Surgeon guy Kurehea's patients hate him or want Baki to beat his rear end? Did he just not treat them properly or he did experiments on them I can't figure out.

Also the funniest part is when the crowd acts disgusted at someone being almost killed like you dumbshits did u not know what u bought tickets for?

I believe Kureha used them as experiments.

I'm surprised it took Yujiro a bear hug to kill his wife. At this stage he could just pat a normal person slightly too hard and they would explode in a shower of gore.

If overheard in public you were describe that page as a dude getting ripped in half rear end first by another dude, you'd think they were watching super intense gay porn.

But no, it's just the punchmen of Baki fighting.

Baki has that strange feel to it where you're never sure if what you remember of the series actually happened or if it was some particularly messed up fever dream, but in a good way.

Itagaki's manga career is a fever dream and we are just figments of said dream.

Idk if you remember but in the early arcs he was completely nuts. He tracked down the monkey baki felt he had an emotional understanding with and threw its head at his feet, then he popped up at the end of the hanayama fight and snapped his arms and legs in half to spite baki. He goes to stomp some dojo and pokes some random dude's eyes out and crushes them in his palm for fun. And he kills baki's mom ofc.

Idk if he's done anything more destructive in the past 300 chapters than make people pee their pants. He just sees strong fighters like pickle, sizes them up, then goes on his way. He's pretty relaxed, he even puts up with irritating fans during the son of ogre fight - he's the most powerful man on the planet and just kind of hangs back and lets other fighters do their thing. I dont mind the kinder gentler yuujiro he's just different.

Realizing his status as a living god, Yuujiro finds no pleasure in hurting or killing people anymore. When no one can match your level, what's the point?

So what are the main characters doing?

Baki: Probably fighting the image of a deathclaw or something similar.

Yujiro: Just popped in to gently caress poo poo up and won’t be seen again until he’s gotta gently caress someone else up.

Doppo: Meat cube

Retsu: Isekai’d until he is cloned

Jack: Pac-manning everyone

Biscuit: Flexing and sleeping on the 5% of the bed allowed to him by his girlfriend.

Hanayama: Probably being badass somewhere

Motobe: Who cares about Motobe?

Katsume: Also being a badass somewhere

Kozue: Completely forgotten about by Itagaki

I think you'd have to have a pretty good grasp on what's going on in itagakis life to understand his plot decisions, it feels very personal in a way

So he went to a sumo tournament, hated it, and then made the sumo wrestlers jobbers for a while. Got it.
