"I didn't see the part where he develops as a character so I guess he never developed as a character"
I think my favorite part of Baki is when something really dumb/awesome happens and the narration switches to a random dude being interviewed about it after the fact.

Bob McBob (29), Salesman : Yes, that's right... That's when it happened. The man just did (impossible feat)... and then did (even more impossible feat)!!

Why do martial artists in manga always dislocate their joints and relocate them like nothing has happened after? I need to learn that trick

I'm bringing up art evolution again for a bit.

Hanayama vs Yujiro Hanma in the original manga (His hand is hosed up from the previous fight, it's supposed to look weird):


Hanayama vs Yujiro Hanma in Baki Dou:

can we talk about Garouden too? it's by the same guy and it's also about ukiyo-e Tom of Finland guys doing violence to each other?

there's a cool panel of a fighter talking about how you can tell a man's power by how much he pees/poops/farts/cums/sweats/cries and he does all those things like five times as much as a normal man, which is why he is called "crybaby" and can twist a man's skull a full 180 degrees. i think that is the right manga anyway.

Four peg leg Retsu careening through opponents like a goddamn pinwheel.

Kaku Kaioh coming up with yet another thousands-year old Chinese martial art master technique that gets destroyed by a Japanese übermensch in just about ten pages.

nunchucks are cool and i remember button mashing in soul calibur so good luck retsu

tough is a bit dumb in that kiichi has already beaten the strongest person in the series so its a bit silly he's still fighting all the time and not stomping them

Read all of Baki that I could find, read all of New Baki, haven't read Son of Ogre/Baki Dou yet. One question: Does Orochi Doppo still own fools? and does he continue to get increasingly hosed up every series? I mean goddamn, the man loses an eye and gets heart-death-punched, then next series he gets his hand cut off, put back on, his face blown up, and continues to be one of the most powerful jolly punchmen around.

In Bakidou he fights Musashi and gets loving owned it was sad. Nothing big like his fights against Dorian or even Arai Jr. though.

I agree, though. Not-Mas Ooyama owns.

Reminder there is also a oneshot spinoff where Baki and his girlfriend have sex that's drawn and formatted pretty much exactly like a fight scene

The only translated Spinoff around is the one where Hanayama fishes a giant shark and beats a 5-meter tall retard.

We just need to have a spin off of Orochi punching people, smiling while punching people, getting injured in horrific ways only to be repaired again and then punching more people.

I'm pretty sure it's never been translated, and I dunno if it's scanned or not (I read it in a magazine) but this is what you'd want to look for.

I laughed my rear end off when Baki and his girlfriend were about to get intimate for the first time then Yujiro is just standing there behind them going "What's this romantic bullshit? You haven't put it in yet? You pansy. Your girl better make a strong grandkid or I'll kill her like I killed your mom. Well, I'll leave you kids to it. Toodles"
