I don't know what's more ridiculous, that Baby Yuujiro's first instinct is to murder the doctor who delivered him, or that deep down, the author is 100% certain that Baby Yuujiro would be both perfectly capable of and somehow morally justified in murdering the doctor who delivered him.

Jedah posted:If Baki could recreate Musashi's "image" and train against it, there's a chance he could defeat Musashi in the future. Baki can get legit stronger by having imaginary fights, but only if his immersion is so total that he runs the risk of traumatic mental damage if his imaginary friend kicks the poo poo out of him. To untrained onlookers, it may appear that he is merely staring intensely at a bug, but make no mistake, it is a true battle of warriors and the bug knows this too.

Jedah posted:I'm sure there are other reasons, but these are a few that I've noticed over the years. 11. Yujiro. Not so much that readers don't like him, but that the author loving adores him, to the point that some downright horrific acts (like murdering Baki's mom) are presented in an uncomfortably sympathetic light (he murdered her with love).

Dr Christmas posted:Yujiro is kind of like a Dragonball character transplanted into another anime into a slightly more grounded world. If only it stopped there. Yuujiro also has impeccable table manners, an encyclopedic knowledge of wine and spirits, a deeper understanding of the struggles of oppressed peoples than Muhammad-loving-Ali, and can punch hard enough to cure cancer and AIDS. I mean poo poo Mr. Itagaki what did your dad do to you man?

Crain posted:I like that Baki doesn’t have a normal kid following him around to play the Everyman like almost every fight manga (and manga/anime in general) ever. Non-fighters, with the single exception of Tokugawa, might as well not exist in the Bakiverse. They cannot affect punchmans in any significant way, nor do they have any rights punchmans are bound to respect.

Jose posted:So this guy has just been hanging around winning sumo fights in the baki world and nobody has thought about fighting him until now Seeing as how no one recognized him at the climbing challenge, I'd wager he's not involved in organized sumo at all. That would imply that there's a heya out there that deliberately chose to train a generational prodigy future GOAT-level yokozuna but never let him compete, or that Tokugawa's been loving around with the cloning machine again.

Plutonis posted:How the gently caress is the Yokozuna standing up with the others after getting his entire ribcage destroyed Because despite giving lip service to bones, blood and organs when convenient, Bakiverse punchmans are made of high-density putty that allows their limbs to perform at 100% effectiveness regardless of being crushed, on fire, or hanging by a flap of skin.

No Wave posted:It being metaphorical is in line with how Yuujiro has been portrayed for the last decade, that this terrible man's existence ends up being ultimately harmless and to some people inspiring. Metaphorical or not, the doctors' chat in the opening pages can be summed up as, 'Yuujiro's male hormone levels are so far off the charts literally everyone else on earth is a woman by comparison'.

Collapsing Farts posted:I like how Yujiro murdered Bakis mom but Baki still looks up to Yujiro. Yujiro also raped Jacks mom but Jack still idolizes him lol Bakiverse morality is... unique. Things happen or don't happen depending on whether or not a punchman has both the desire and the ability (that is, physical strength) to make that thing happen or to prevent it from happening. If so, a punchman's will has been done, and the result is, by necessity, strong, beautiful, correct, and holy. If not, he can only have been thwarted by a stronger, holier, etc. punchman. Baki and Jack understand this and accept that whether or not the things Yuujiro did to their moms were 'right' or 'wrong' was decided when he did them and was not stopped. Punchman does thing, thing is right and good. I think Itagaki honestly believes this on some level. Mary Annette fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Dec 2, 2023 |

Lol at thinking permanent injuries, much less mortal wounds, are a thing in the Bakiverse. Just off the top of my head, we've seen the loss of eyes, loss of hands, severed major nerves, completely crushed ribcages, point-blank shotgun blasts, and a handful of bullets going off inside someone's loving mouth shrugged off with sheer willpower and/or sufficient flexing.

Cobra Commander posted: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. 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.
