If JoJo ever dries up (God help us) David needs to do an ultra-faithful adaptation of this next

Every time I get reminded that one of the biggest badasses in this is an unfrozen karate caveman named loving Pickle, I lose my poo poo laughing. I love Baki so goddamn much.

The biggest complaint I have is the massive focus on The Ogre, the dullest antagonist ever.

I just want to say that this is the most "new Baki fan" statement of all time

Yujiro is many things but he is most certainly not goddamn dull, Yujiro is loving hilarious

I suppose the "maiming each other then suddenly friends" comes from how much Itagaki loves combat sports, which really focus on the "leave it in the ring" stuff. Like, you try and kill each other while you're fighting, but it's just sport.

The entire thing that makes Yujiro hilarious is that he has no concept of what a ring is except "the place where giant pussies go to fight" and just randomly loving murders people for shiggles

Nobody in the cast should be willingly associating with him at all by this logic

This reminds me of Sechs in Battle Angel Alita learning how to "move at supersonic speeds while standing still" or something like that by hyperaccellerating the fluid circulating in his body. Except this is something a human can apparently do.

Alita really is just RoboBaki.

e: or Baki is just Meat Alita, I guess? I don't really know which came first.

man, Baki himself doesn't do very much in s2

I kind of get it, because none of the convicts are actually anywhere near his weight class (so to speak), but... it's a little odd

e: as in Netflix s2, not the Maximum Tournament anime

You say that, and that was probably true at some point because Yujiro has been kind of inconsistently written, but he explicitly declared his respect for Muhammad Ali for refusing the draft and there's a bit about people looking up to him as a hero because he was off fighting warlords and stuff, inadvertantly protecting the common people suffering under them. I dunno it's kinda unclear, because he's explicitly been shown declaring his disdain for the weak and how he can do whatever he wants because he's the strongest, but then he's telling Muhammad Ali how cool he is for standing up to the government during the civil rights movement. Yujiro is a man of contrasts. (Who really likes murdering people with his bare hands)

Yujiro prizes all forms of strength. Ali standing up against his whole country is the kind of poo poo Yujiro loves.

I imagine Itagaki the elder might be deliberately spinning his wheels a little because his daughter's series is currently blowing the gently caress up and he doesn't wanna draw attention away from her.

(Itagaki's daughter is the mangaka for Beastars, in case anyone didn't know)

Pewdiepie posted:

Maybe he's spinning his wheels because he's spent his entire life as a mangaka only to be considered a punchline/extremely strange person while Paru has already achieved worldwide acclaim with her debut manga.

that's not really accurate for Itagaki senior, Baki's been pretty popular internationally forever (the Netflix series is actually the second time it's blown up in the west, the old-rear end OVA got pretty popular in the early 90s and a lot of people remember Baki similarly to, like, Cyber City Oedo or Demon City Shinjuku)

if anything, him being a punchline or mostly known as weird is a more recent thing, Baki used to just kind of be one of the old mainstay punchman manga before people started really picking up on how batshit bonkers and meme-able it is

especially given he seems to be a pretty nice dude and a good dad, if he's doing it deliberately, he's probably just doing it to see if he can't give his daughter a little boost

The biggest red flag is learning that he scoops out the foam out of beer with a spoon which is super psycho poo poo

i mean ideally you pour the beer with the glass at an angle so you don't end up with very much foam to begin with, the foam is gross as hell

i could see doing that to salvage a hosed up pour though

I mean real talk I think most dudes are weak to getting kicked in the dick until they loving bleed

We're only calling that weaksauce because we have insane loving supermen like Hanayama in this cast who can just shrug off things like getting half their face blown off like it ain't poo poo
