No, like for real, how is it that ONLY Musashi ever regconize the risk of doing a high kick against Baki, or any competent enemy in particular. The more you read Baki the more you realize how much sense Musashi made here
>>
>>282519888
He's probably at a point where he's relatively happy in life and doesn't want to rush his work. His kids are all married, he's successful, he completed the father vs son arc in a way he was happy with. Heck it's even animated already, and that was where Baki in theory "ends". Although we still get great arcs post Yujiro fight, Itagaki satisfied with how the story has panned out.
>>
>>282519911
This, Itagaki was physical but doing a massive manga grind is just gonna do damage. Besides he's still making the Sikorsky Gaia manga right? So we're getting enough Baki universe stuff as is.

as much as I like his rambunctious nature, has there ever been an instance of katou not talking shit and then eating humble pie in the same or following chapter or actually just being a jobber in general
his only real victory was against the even less relevant hanada, and getting to kick gaia in the nuts

He is a retard, back then at least baki was a non name showing up out of nowhere into the fighting world. But now? After her become the underground champion and challenged The Orge on worldwide television? Only a retard would doubt Baki

Baki readers kept asking "where the fuck is baki"

And Itagaki this chapter said "here is baki"

Well yeah he's the physically strongest character in the series even including Yujiro. Him and Baki are a basically the only 2 that even have a single thing over Yujiro.

>>282520386
Suedo did better against Dorian too lol
>>
>>282519668
What IS the point here? Why would Katou even doubt him? Surely he's heard the news? Is he a conspiracy theorist? What the fuck.
>>
>>282520846
This is not even "muh honor" shit, it's basic fighter instinct, throwing high kick and get hit by the balls is about the most embarrassing way to lose. Any competent fighter would at least make sure the opponent can't throw hit while they kick above the waist. Like this used to be such an important story element that Doppo developed a technique specifically to defend his balls

Pickle really did have some of the best fights in the series. Jack's big swing is the one that comes to my mind first. Runner ups would be Shibukawa's crazy moves throughout the series, the water shoot, eyepoke vs sumo, flipping Oliva, and of course the giant condom.

WHEN THE FUCK is the next chapter about Yuujiro walking down a street?
>>
>>282521001
Sorry but my dumb special snowflake technique and style is based around ultra high kicks.
I am that guy okay, I can land a high kick against the living nutcracker Baki!
>>
>>282521164
What make Pickle movement so cool is that it is not techniques, but rather normal instinctual human attack that is exaggerated greatly due to his own inhuman strength. Just to list it out, every of Pickle attack can be summed up as
>Straight kick
>Straight punch
>Arm swing
>Lifting
>Wrestling
I remember a few chapters ago they describe Hanayama attack as a dump truck running at you, it's not a weapon per se, but there are so much power behind it that you can't stop it from landing, I thought that comparison worked for Pickle as well
>>
>>282519668
I thought he was talking shit just to rile up Baki, but he honestly thought he could step to him? Baki should've put him through a bit more than a nut tap for that disrespect
>>
>>282521212
He also has the honor of being the very first Baki antagonist.
>>
>>282521346
I'm a bit of a hater with Hanayama, you can only see so many wind up punches before you get bored. His arm popper is still great, plus the spin-off fights are great, like the shark fight.
>>
>>282521437
Baki is a chill dude, he isn't his dad. Yuujiro would have killed Katou.
>>
>>282521255
It'd be fun to have a Kato side-arc where he walks up to he main cast every now and then and just has a go at them.
>>
>>282521469
Only if he gets mogged by chiharu doing the same thing on a stupid misunderstanding he can't back down from like Doppo cutting him in line at a grocery store.
>>
>>282520861
>Yujiro had to rely on aiki
KWAB
>>
>>282521462
I think it was more of a presentation thing. Hanayama's fighting style was presented very well when put against Musashi. Musashi, who is well versed in all sort of trickeries and hidden attack, find Hanayama's attack that could not be more simpler, amaterish, and plain, incomprehensible
It was so obvious that Hanayama was going to punch him really hard that Musashi deadass doesn't really know what to do
>>
>>282521466
Would he really? This whole strongest human being thing sounds a bit too silly. Not to mention Yujiro's pretty old now. Katou got age advantage over him.
>>
If Yujiro is always getting stronger then how strong is he now
>>
>>282521598
When you put it like that... Hmmmm, maybe...
>>
>>282521545
Katou is definitely that 0.00001% who think the Jaw could beat Yujiro right?

You just make me realize that Motobe straight up live in his dojo, this was said by him in Musashi Dou

When you consider that Shibukawa whole pride and joy is that he finally perfected Aiki, it sort of make sense for him to actively test if that is actually true. His whole fued with his master back then was because he believe Aiki can still go further
I imagined he would also find it intriguing that his Aiki is not actually perfected yet and there IS a limit to it

Baki can at least say it's based on the placebo effect but principles "point of force" is a paradox that can only be justified with physical strength advantage despite the insistence of otherwise.

I can't tell if Itagaki liked the guy or not. Sumo was getting thrashed for like the entire last third of the manga. Yet he did give Sukune a lot of excuses with the pinky thing nerfing him and both Jack and Baki saying nerf'd suke still could have beaten them. Itagaki usually isn't worried about covering his tracks like that. I guess we'll see if Sukune ever returns.

This arc is mostly about Jack gaining the experience to truly master his new fighting style and to challenge Baki in the underground tournament. It happened a while ago so people might have forgotten, but the old midget scheduled for those two to eventually have a fight. We needed a reminder of how strong Baki really is, and how tall the mountain is that Jack needs to climb to truly pose a threat to the champion. I thought it was fine.

The only reason he can do that and not seem gay is because he's THE STRONGEST, so once Baki surpassed him Yujiro is on the level of a normal person relative to Baki. That is to say in Baki's eyes he has unconsensual gay sex with men.

He challenged the world, was it the fault of the cops to try and stop someone who made threats? He's not innocent.

But I'll give you Retsu. Musashi complimented him, had respect for his opponent, and gave him several chances to stop the fight. Almost begging him to stop already. But Retsu insisted on getting cut. I don't see the samurai as the villain in that situation.

>>282531918
Honestly, I still put more blame on the police side in the Musashi case than Musashi himself. The entire conflict started over Musashi slicing a rude tv host with his imaginary katanas on live tv, making him pass out. There's even a scene of the higher ups wondering what to do because in reality all that happened was that Musashi swung his hands in the air a few times and the guy falls over and isn't even really injured. So they just go 'The goal is to create a crime. You're making it up. The truth doesn't matter. You want to catch him, don't you?'
They deliberately provoke Musashi because they don't think he's actually all that, despite all the warnings. And then of course, Musashi goes too far, or rather exactly as far as he said he'd go. Causing everything to spiral into a mess.
>>
>>282531992
I always thought these kinds of statements were somewhat patronizing honestly. 'Yeah if that move hit me at full power, I'd have been in trouble'. But it didn't! That's the entire point. You stopped your opponent from being able to use the move on you, so it didn't hit.
Sure, if Hanayama hit Musashi with another one of his giant wind-up punches, Musashi would have been in serious trouble. But there's no world in which that happens, not when Musashi can just... attack while he's winding it up.

Serious question: what the actual fuck was the point of this chapter?
It just feels like Itagaki buying time because he couldn’t think of the next arc.

If he’s out of ideas, then screw it, just make Trump and Elon cook up some genetically-engineered cyborg warrior or whatever to take down Yujiro.
That’d honestly be way more entertaining, and at least more realistic than Pickle or Musashi ever were.

I think the point is to hype up a potential Baki and Jack rematch but I feel like there's better ways to do it. There's so many better ways of hyping him up like I dunno have a decently strong guy attack him

And as we saw during the sumo arc, it's not just Baki that gets stronger. The other characters are also training like crazy and becoming ever stronger. What kind of magical Aikido bullshit can the old man pull off now? I want to see.

I think that was one of the points of the sumo arc, it was to give the main cast some wins. A lot of them were humiliated during the criminal arc. Doppo especially needed some wins(bullying a wounded boxer doesn't count), as badass as he is he's been defeated quite a few times before the sumos. Now that they've been built up to look strong, it makes Jack challenging them all more exciting.

I can imagine the old man looking at Jack as he lunges forward mouth wide open with Shib thinking "well damn what to do in this situation? the natural response is to turn tail and run your ass home and honestly that what I want to do, but what the hell I've lived long enough" as Shibukawa instead of attempting to avoid the bite tries to shove his hand into the cyborgs mouth and down his throat.

When did Baki's girlfriend last make an appearance?
Months ago?
YEARS ago?
Was she only only brought in so that...
1) The mangaka could proudly claim: "Baki isn't a gay strip - I drew some women in it once!"
2) So she can be kidnapped by baddies occasionally?
I initially enjoyed Baki - but it has been somewhat overly homoerotic for a long time, and I've lost all interest.

Itagaki is very much a reflection of his work, he respects the strong, but he doesn't sugarcoat the idea of what strong means. Strong is violence, chaotic, and ever changing. Itagaki is a modern philosopher, that and sometimes just an unga bunga ape that loves to see a good ol punchout,

He's surprisingly mentally stable all things considered. You'd think Baki would be the self-destructive psycho Jack is after getting consistently traumatized by Yujiro for his whole life.
The Tokyo underground arena saves lives I guess.

OK, thanks for the replay... I have read up to Musashi, and beyond. but stopped after some truly dreadful "translations" put out by trolls (it was either rape jokes or calling every one of the early characters a "jobber" - dunno if you have encountered this in the wild)
>>
>>282542366
We've encountered it in the Wild alright, Wild Fang that is. It was either Ichido aka Wild Fang who made it, or a troll pretending to be him.
He made decent scans for awhile, pretty much the only Baki scanner, but then went full schizo and just made bullshit scans with fanfic shit behind a paywall. Then no one gave him attention so he uploaded troll scans to every site possible, until he got banned.

Japan is pretty cucked when it comes to Sumo because the average Jap is physically incapable of being a big fat fuck. That's why they have Mongolians and I remember a lot of Hawaiians/other islanders too.

Conversely, I like how they did this moment in anime way more from how it was in the manga (mostly because of the ost).

The Netflix anime's OST is so fucking good, so is the sound design for all the hits. That's exactly why the punch out game sucks, the OST and Sounds are so shit. If they kept the sound design from the anime it would go from a 6/10 to like a good 7.5/10

More like the timing, if Sukune just dunked him right off the bat Jack wouldn’t be prepared or have anyway to get around it since he wouldn’t know
Sukune gave Jack time to study him, so he lost

He was the only person in the main cast who lost a body part before Doppo joined the gang. And even then Shibukawa losing his eye from his violent life is very different from Doppo sparring with Yujiro once, that old man has definitely been in a lot of shit, he don’t mind losing body part

itagaki wrote what musashi was actually like back then. he was a fucking asshole who gamed every fight he was in while also having a combat skill floor above most peoples ceilings. his dokkodo is basically about being a loner autist who cuts everything you cant precept
>>
>>282537976
Lol I wouldn’t say so, Jack was getting bodied and lucked out because he figured out to bite Shibukawa and gave him no motion to redirect. I doubt the same trick would work against Shibukawa twice, he’s not a retard like Katou. Ali Jr thought same trick would work twice and look what happened to him
>>
>>282540587
hes an old man dont make those joints shade all that

>>282535344
I think different, the conflict was meant to highlight the differences in philosophy between Musashi and current day society. It started with Retsu’s death, of course from Musashi POV it was a fair duel, both side agreed to it, and he wasn’t a senseless murderer
But the police and spectator think different, the modern society don’t have “duel”, murder is murder, and Musashi was evil for killing Retsu. The same script happened with the chief inspector, he pulled the gun on Musashi, challenged him and died, but once again, from the POV of his fellow policeman, it wasn’t a honorable duel, they don’t have that concept, Musashi just murdered someone again just because
>>
>>282533059
Because despite how the story goes, Musashi is not a murderhobo. The moment he realize he already dispatched the leaders, the fight already done, and the foot soldiers are not the one challenging him
>>
>>282547951
Still funny that Musashi jumped out of the bushes and beheaded a 10 year old kid, then ran away. It makes sense in context, but it's one of those things that make you think "History is fucked up"
>>
>>282520292
>>
>>282547272
It definitely was the best part of the prisoner arc.
>>
>>282537930
The biting shit should be easy for the grappling heavy fighters to take advantage of if this series followed any sort of logic, I don't even care for Sukune but him having not simply grabbing Jack's jaw and crushing it felt dumb
>>
>>282548264
That story reads like that seinfeld episode where all the old guys keep challenging Jerry to lift heavy shit.

Well, part of the point of the sumo arc was that "modern sumo" was good, but ancient sumo was the actual real deal and Sukune was the embodiment of said old sumo.

Sort of in line with that is my proposal that the sumotori should've fought MT participants or lower ranked regulars (Shiba, Kato, Suedo, Jaku, etc.) instead of taking on the main cast right off the bat. That would've made the sumo angle much more feasible after Pickle and Musashi.

Musashi had a different outlook to sword duels compared to the rest of Japan. Normally, it went like this:
>i challenge you
>i accept
>we will meet at this place at this time and fight with honor
>agreed
But for Musashi, it was more like:
>i challenge you
>i accept
>we will meet at this place at this time
>ok, thanks for telling me where you will be at what time, idiot
>*sets up ambush*
In this particular case, Musashi had killed a swordsman and the family challenged him again. It happened over and over until the only "man" of the family left to fight was a literal child. Musashi, realizing that this duel was just an excuse to lure him into an ambush, instead decided to sneak attack the kid and run away.

Sukune defeated both Baki and Jack
Musashi beat Baki and lost the rematch (and would've beaten Jack if Motobe didn't save him)
Pickle beat both Baki and Jack
