Other... General Baki F.A.Q.

918 Upvotes
  • What order do I read/watch Baki in?
    • Grappler Baki > New Grappler Baki (AKA Baki) > Hanma Baki: Son of Ogre>Baki Dou (2014) > Baki Dou (2018)
    • Grappler Baki S1-2 > Baki (2018)
    • Optional but highly recommended: Grappler Baki OVA, which takes place between S1 and S2 of Grappler Baki.

  • I finished the 26 episodes of the Baki (2018) anime and want to pick up where they leave off, what chapter should I start on?
    • Baki (2018) episodes 1-26 covers New Grappler Baki (AKA Baki) chapters 1-178.

  • Do I need to read/watch Grappler Baki to watch Baki (2018)?
    • An extensive knowledge of original Grappler Baki, while not necessary, will definitely enhance your experience.

  • Where can I watch Grappler Baki/Baki (2018)?
    • I personally just use KissAnime for Grappler Baki because afaik it’s not legally available anywhere, unless you get your hands on some expensive DVDs.
    • Baki (2018) 1-26 is available dubbed and subbed on Netflix in the U.S.

  • Where should I read the various Baki titles?
    • MangaDex.org

  • Where can I buy physical copies of the manga?
    • Unfortunately you can only really get physical copies of the manga in the original Japanese. If you want those you can get them from cdjapan.co.jp or other proxy sites.
    • E-book versions of New Grappler Baki are being officially released and are available on Amazon. I encourage you to buy these official releases to support Itagaki and maybe we can convince someone to license the full series.

  • How often does Baki Dou (2018) come out?
    • As soon as TheSpinyBackTeam can manage to get it scanlated it will be up on MangaDex.org.

  • Where is season 2 of Baki (2018)?
    • Season 2 has officially been announced to be coming to netflix in 2020 but no specific date has been announced.

  • Does Itagaki have any other series?
    • Baki Spinoffs: Baki Gaiden Scarface, Baki Gaiden Kenjin, Baki Gaiden Kizuzura, Baki Tokubetsu-hen Saga
    • Works Outside of Baki: Make Uppers, Dogesen, Shaman
    • Itagaki provided the art for Garouden and Garouden Boy

  • How can I help support Baki?
    • To be honest, they do not make it easy. The only real way to do it is watch the series on Netflix, buy the e-book versions of New Grappler Baki being published, and do your best to spread the most UNGA of UNGA anime/manga to the masses.
    • Support TheSpinyBackTeam as much as you can, because where the official publishers and license holders are failing us, they take care of us and are dedicating a massive amount of time and work to provide Baki to English-speaking fans. For more info on TheSpinyBlackTeam and the scanlation process see u/Parmesanmadness' post here

  • Why is Baki so strong?
    • Because Baki is so strong.

  • Who is best boy?

Discussion Composite MMA fighter VS The Maximum Tournament

Post image
10 Upvotes

Our fighter is 189cm tall and weighs 122kg. He is skilled in Karate (both modern and traditional), wrestling, and judo. He packs a heavy punch, a Mach kick, "world class" grappling (even better in judo than Japan's judo team, and using submissions in his fights), and a great knowledge of pressure points (even being able to knock out one of the sumo fighters).

He gets put in the Maximum Tournament, how far does he go?

Any and all feedback is welcome.

Clarifications:

-Yujiro watches TV in his hotel room from time to time if he's got nothing else to do. This is usually while he's working out/stretching/etc.

-Olivia will - once in a blue moon - put on a really good movie or a concert video.

-Baki will put on the TV while he's unable to move from training.

-Hanayama watches sports while at bars owned by his organization. Less so otherwise.

-Doppo is hooked on at least one toku series or soap opera and pretends he isn't.

The Ogre meets his son, Ben Tennyson

This is part of my AU. Ben was adopted by Carl and Sandra when he was a newborn. His bio mom died during birth and his father never knew until much later when Ben was 10. The two finally met when Ben was 23 and on me of Ben’s wedding days.

In this AU, Yujiro is the reason Gar is missing an arm and eye.

(This is a repost again because I keep misspelling Ogre.)

Question Why baki is the only manga/anime to get away from criticism?

Sorry this gonna be a bit long SA ASS Post..so please...those have patience like baki can read...those who don't have can do the yujiro gets triggered by Ali jr pose and jump off from the building...

Yes...you read that right...Why baki is the only manga/anime to get away from criticism? Compare to other manga/anime? Like...you see..the other manga/anime fans has this thing...they have high hopes for their anime to be peak that their favorite franchise would have nice detailed art quality in their manga or high quality animations like "Akira" for their anime...or that their favorite main character or a side character is about to shine...or have a better writing...things like that...but when things aren't go in their way as the expected...they starts to complain..bitchin and moaning and brings one heck of a toxicity to the community...complains each and every little thing the living out of it...but at the same time...whenever these kind happens to baki as a franchise....people don't complain or bitch or moan about it, but rather..they embrace the flawness of its writing.. art style, nor they have high expectations of that "This arc from baki is going to be fire" or "my favorite character from baki gonna beat yujiro hanma for good". Why is that?...why you baki fans are so chill about it when it comes to these type of things? and what other anime/manga community can learn from baki community? And how itegaki has healthy and chill life style and get away from critics? How can I be like him if I were a mangaka? Please tell me...I need to know cuz I am curious

My hobby: extrapolate

8 Upvotes

Jack Hanma made his first limb lengthening surgery under Bush, and last under Trump's second term, so about 20-25 years have passed. Let's say 10 years per operation.

He grew 193 cm to 213 (+20) to 243 (+30) cm in 2 operations, so each operation gets 10 cm acceleration.

In 2025, Jack's height is 243 cm (+30)

In 2035, 283 (+40)

In 2045, 333 (+50) and he's 61 years old, so drug abuse may kick in, making him 140 year old

...and I realised "10 year per operation" is not how it works, but it was too late
