Grappler Baki + Martial Arts Manga

I need to find out after the anime series ended. Looks like I got some reading to do.

Damn I must be far behind because the last chapter I read was when Pickle killed that one guy for his clothes and is walking around.

^Yeah, he didnā€™t kill Kenmochi btw I donā€™t think, he crushed his junk, and dragged him into the trash bin, beating him up and taking his clothes. Pickle eats everything he kills :stuck_out_tongue:

Man the last time I heard of Baki was when the short movie came on Starz a few years back, shit was awesomeā€¦ so I guess nows a good time to start, I can read it along with Hajime no Ippo :tup:

^hehehe, thatā€™s how I first heard about Baki, it wasnā€™t until years later that I stumbled upon the manga and got back into it from there.

Also if you like Baki, start reading Garouden too, itā€™s good stuff, the storyā€™s by Baku Yumemakura(he wrote the original novels the mangaā€™s based off of), and Itagakiā€™s doing the art. Thereā€™s also a Garouden movie out there but I havenā€™t even been able to find it for sale, much less a a rip.

Therā€™s a lot more out there though, I think onemanga only has up to vol 7 or so, though the WFP is up to vol 21. :confused: so thereā€™s a huge gap with what the public has

i liked how the first season of the show was crazy dark and oedipal and shit and ends on a really somber, gut-wrenching note.

then the second season starts and he might as well be some random high school boy who just happens to be one of the most dangerous fighters ever. WTF is that bullshit.

And he only kills whats attacking him. Unless that piss was acidic

^Hahaha, dude, youā€™ll have to wait to read the manga version of the maximum tournament, trust me, itā€™s still crazy dark, and you might actually end up hating Yuujirouā€™s guts, especially with Jack(whoā€™s alot more crazed and determined, for good reasonā€¦)

I think the sudden power up feeling youā€™re getting is from how they shifted around and cut things out of the anime. In the manga, he starts off as the champion, heā€™s not unbeatable, and actually struggles in each fight, then the child saga kicks in, then we go back to the maximum tournament.

Also, donā€™t forget that inbetween the child and champion arcs, he went over to Brazil, and learned BJJ and Vale Tudo style moves.

EDIT: Thanks Ken, forgot about that, yeah, Kenmochi just happened to be in the wrong place, yet at the right time for pickle, other than a crushed pee pee and some bruises he should be ok though.

yo iā€™ve been reading the manga and the scans at onemanga stopped at 104. Where are yal reading the rest of it up to 169?

named Sonikku who does trans of the raws, heā€™s also doing smoe work with the WFP afaik per Ichido.

Thanks for the links BEWD, Iā€™ll +rep you once I can again.

meh, whistles

Thanks again for the hook up BEWD.

I remember when Bakiā€™s woman crawled into his bed ready to let Baki do whatever he wanted and then Yujiro was there the entire time. Thatā€™s not someone you want to see before getting laid.:rofl:
I thought Yujiro was going to cock block Baki.

hahha, and then when he gave Baki that pep-talk/threat I rofled for life, if only all dads were that beastly. ;_;

Which reminds me, one thing Itagaki HAS to do before this manga ends is show who the hell fathered Yuujirou, we learned in Advent of the Ogre about his mother(whoā€™s still alive, I wonder if Jack ever met her, as I doubt Baki even knows she exists) and the midwife who delivered him, but no idea about who the hell fathered him in the first place, had to be one monster of a dude.

Man, Iā€™ve only seen the original Baki anime back in the mid 90ā€™s. That was such a wicked anime. Guy cutting out his optic nerves? You shitting me? Insanity.

Is the new stuff even half as badass?

The Garouden file isnā€™t there BEWD. Looks like it expired.

Ok, sorry about that

yes. chinese tournament is the fuckin shit! go to onemanga to read up. pickle saga is to manly too

Personally Iā€™m not a fan of Pickle. He needs to be defeated.

@Hate: yeah, pickle arc has been going on too long.
