That's the face you get from having a lot of testosterone. Back when I was the heaviest into lifting, my face would sometimes do that after working out. Keep an eye out next time you're at the gym.

Thanks, won’t be back in the gym for a while as I’m focusing on training by jumping off a cliff.

I think this is the best chapter in a while. Yuujiro jumping through the ceiling and walking back in with that line is a great gag.

Feels like a breath of fresh air to just have someone loving dip out on Yujiro using his own joke.

To be fair it's probably the smartest thing anyone who's fought Yujiro has done, to be like "yeah okay fuuuuck this" and just leave.

Sumo is strong when one guy uses it (two if you count the sumo that beast Mokobe) but biting is still stronger.

Yeah Baki is in a weird place where he's supposed to be the 2nd strongest creature in the world (since he fought evenly with his dad for quite a while) so he's basically able to just kick everyones rear end and there's only really one last obstacle for him to seriously overcome... and that's his dad, again

Baki has sort of a power creep problem now. He's fought his dad, a super strong caveman and the best swordsman in history. When the next opponent is just some big sumo guy it loses the impact, but there's also the problem of where the hell do you go from here.

It's more of a slice of life comic, except with superhuman fightmen

Also I'm still waiting for Baki to fight a cyborg or genetically enhanced superhuman

They've defeated the greatest fighters from both history and prehistory, so next they should fight the greatest warriors of the future.

Baki vs Hanmatron 9000

or, alternatively

Baki at his physical peak vs 90-year-old Baki at his technical peak

I stopped caring about plot progression a long time ago. It's been 10 years since Baki defeated Yujiro. I'm just here for the bakisms.

Admittedly I'm kind of excited to see where he takes the Jack storyline. Sukune and Jack are being set up for some interesting character development. They're the two characters who don't feel shallow or stagnant right now. Maybe the main cast will start beating the poo poo out of each other again, which would be the best possible thing for Baki.

Well jack wants to fight Baki again presumably for his right to fight yujirou. The more sensible person to resurrect his Bakis grandad though

Oh look, the consequences of my prior actions are finally catching up to me.
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
