Yes, the language is Korean, not Japanese. I don't have a source for a high quality RAW of Baki Dou, do you know of one? On the bright side, with all the action in this chapter, you don't necessarily need a translation.

I believe someone mentioned it before: It would be nice to know what they are saying, but with the way the action and panels are drawn, you can get a pretty good sense of what is going on. That's something I really like about reading this series.

I can read Korean so that's not a problem, I was just being a tremendous pedant over the definition of "raw"

That said it's kinda hilarious that Motobe attempted to poison Musashi and failed partly because he chose a poison that Musashi recognized, instead of any number of untraceable poisons discovered or created since Musashi's time

You never know, the release of the new Baki movie might be similar to Dragon Ball Super. First, we got the Battle of the Gods movie. Then, later on, they released a new anime series continuing the movie, and of course there was the manga to tie it all together. Why couldn't they do that with Baki Dou, which has a clean starting point? It also wouldn't be difficult to begin an anime series right around the time Son of Ogre begins, and work from there. We can all agree that Baki is not known for its complicated storyline.

At the end of the day, I agree with Pewdiepie, I really hope they decide to do the Prisoner Arc from New Grappler Baki. That chunk of the manga deserves an anime. It's the pure solid gold, the true meat of the series. It's the Filet Mignon of Baki.

Just for fun, I made a quick edit of the Baki trailer, because Danny Baranowsky and FamilyJules7x would do an amazing job if they scored Grappler Baki. :frogc00l:

The official website for the 25th anniversary project of Keisuke Itagaki's martial arts-themed manga series Baki today confirmed the newly-produced OAD (original anime disc) will be adapted from the Prisoners Saga (Saikyou Shikeishu-hen/The Deadliest Condemned Criminals arc) in the manga's second installment Baki (1995-2005), not from the ongoing fourth installment Baki-Dou (2014-).

The saga was told in the beginning of the second installment, featuring five condemned criminals who escape from the prison and gather in Tokyo to fight against the fighters of the underground martial arts tournament including its champion Baki. The disc also contains a special video message from the author Itagaki and animated footage of the manga's popular scenes.

In celebration of New Grappler Baki's Prisoner arc being adapted into an anime, I made another alternate score for the Baki trailer:

Mostly I just wanted you guys to see dat drop with Doppo.


Edit:
And one more bonus video! Progressive metal meets Baki. I'm pretty happy with this one.

Its partially translated online but may I make the recommendation to start with New Grappler Baki or Baki: Son of Ogre? Both are completely translated, and the backstory is pretty easy to figure out. Baki wants to be the strongest so he can beat up his dad, who's extremely strong. Other people are strong too, perhaps even stronger than Baki?

Like Pewds said the original is still being translated but I started with New Grappler after watching the two anime (who pretty much cover the first manga anyway)

On the topic of the original Grappler Baki, Chapter 184 has been translated by Spinyback!

They also translated Chapters 126 and 127 of Baki Dou.

Also, I should mention:

onepenguin0, one of the team members of Spinyback, said that he was in desperate need of a redrawer for their team. They've hit a road block, where they want to put out many more chapters of Grappler Baki, but they're forced to do it at a slow pace because they don't have a dedicated redrawer. In general, goons are pretty skilled with photoshop, so I thought I'd ask if anyone would be willing to help.

If you happen to know anyone who might be interested in being a redrawer for this awesome manga, or if you'd like to help out, please let me know, and I'll give you his contact info. Thanks in advance.

"I didn't see the part where he develops as a character so I guess he never developed as a character"
Fair warning, Itagaki does an absolute shitton of stroked text (that's text overlaid directly on top of the art, which has to be edited out) and the tones he uses and his art style are not redraw friendly at all. Just figured I should say that because it's not something you should get into without knowing what you're getting into.

I think a good amount is translated, but there are quite some gaps. I started with new grappler baki (The second series) since I couldn't find the first in full. They do a good job at calling back to a lot of stuff and recapping. Once Grappler Baki is translated in full I'd definitely would read it, but you can start at new grappler and be fine.

Eventually at somepoint you won't even need translated chapters. This series is great in that it gets to a point where the author lays out action in a way that's fairly easy to understand through drawings alone.

For those interested, Chapter 129 of Baki Dou just came out (Korean scans).

The big question is, did Motobe line his clothes with tactical ketchup packets, or has the troll finally been sliced wide open?

Regarding his fate I feel like he must continue the trickery. He's shown he's got too much planned to not expect getting sliced across the stomach like Retsu did.

Going with that theory, do you think it's possible Motobe has buried his weapons throughout the arena in advance? I know Motobe's emphasis is on traditional old school warfare, but he also claims to be obsessed with the art of war, and no rules combat.

If that's the case, why wouldn't Motobe have grenades, assault rifles, or various traps buried in the sand? Are we to believe that using a bunch of smoke bombs is fair game, but a frag grenade is not, just because it isn't historically accurate? And why wouldn't he use a flashbang, since Musashi has exceptional eyesight and perception? That would be an excellent way to level the playing field.

If Motobe is the real deal, he'll use modern weapons. He already uses modern aramid body armor, so why stop there? He should use anything it takes to win. Otherwise, it's gonna be a repeat of Retsu vs. Musashi all over again.

He'll stand unblinking and be shot by 500 bullets and then complain how much it hurt and complement the gun on how great it is as a weapon before effortlessly and brutally winning.
