For some reason my brain couldn't understand that.

This has been a good fight overall, surprisingly. I was worried it would be pickle 2.0

I've read up to chapter 80 so far and Itagaki's really done a surprisingly good job at differentiating Musashi from Pickle despite the obviously parallel of "super strong mans from the past is thrust into our world." Musashi being able to actually verbally communicate helps, obviously.

Every time I get reminded that one of the biggest badasses in this is an unfrozen karate caveman named loving Pickle, I lose my poo poo laughing. I love Baki so goddamn much.

The entire series is happening solely because Strongman got too strong so he had kids loving everywhere, hopefully so that one or more Strongkids could provide a challenge

After the Retsu fight Tokugawa asks Musashi how he felt about fighting Retsu, Musashi replies that it was like the Battle of Sekigahara. Tokugawa then asks him how Retsu would compare to Musashi's legendary rival, Sasaki Kojirou and Musashi goes "Who?"

Sorry that probably wasn't cool to anyone but history nerds like me.

Actual cool poo poo: Shibukawa completely loving owns Musashi the first time they meet because aikido was invented after Musashi's time

Baki Dou is the shittiest poo poo. Ho hum a new super strong guy shows up and spends 100 chapters beating the gently caress out of the established cast until Baki mans up somehow and manages to beat him.

Reminder that Strongman is so strong that America signed a nonaggression pact with him, which every President has to renew.

YOU CAN NOT BUST THE KRUST
SpinyBack has been down for a few days, but the webmaster posted and said it should be back soon. As far as I know, they're the only team translating Baki-Dou.

In the mean time, if you'd like to read the RAWs, here's a link to a Chinese site with all the latest chapters: http://www.dm5.com/manhua-renyadao/

Scroll down until you see the thumbnail for each chapter. The latest one is Chapter 81,"刃牙道漫画 第81话"

When you click one of the chapters, a red text prompt will appear - just make sure you click the underlined text to view the chapter. It's a little confusing to navigate, but on the flip side, the RAW quality is excellent.

Literally just a flesh wound, iirc he was totally fine (with a few scars on his cheeks) in that one scene where they showed him lifting when he caught Musashi on TV.
