Got my Yuujirou figure in today, box is really cool, much better than the Baki one they did(though that was styled after the underground arena) will post some pics later haven’t unboxed yet
New Minoru is out. This manga right here has a place in my top 10 martial art mangas. What are your top 10?
Aiki and Kenichi and Veritas. All the other series have major flaws, but those two I’d put in my legit top 10.
Edit: UGH I FORGOT ABOUT VERITAS thanks hatred
My favs are:
-Holyland
-All Rounder Meguru
-Gekiryuuchi
-Veritas
-Garouden
-Tough
-Hajime no Ippo
-Garouden
-Hokuto no Ken
-Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru
-NGB is still the best Baki series without damned Pickle and damned diabolic brain
Tough is owning now, also heard they’re gonna make a spin-off with Kiichi set in somewhere in Europe, and that’s better be ultimate pure ownage otherwise Kiryu will kick mangaka’s ass.
Dude I want a backstory just on Kiryu alone.
Well its not in order, but I will post it:
RRR
Veritas
Minoru
Aiki
Blood and Steel
Tough
Kenichi
God of High School
Holyland
Kenji
Yeah, I’ve been reading Blood and Steel. The best part about that is how none of the chapters are short. RRR actually did pick up and become good. I recall favoring it over the abomination HNI fell into.
Hmm, that’s a tough five to narrow it down to. If you were going to force me to pick out my five favorite series, it’ll have to be these:
RRR
Ippo
Holyland
Minoru
Kenichi
Aiki, Blood and Steel, Veritas, Hokuto no Ken, Souten no Ken, and All Rounder Meguru are up there as well.

Wtf? I said top ten. And what’s up with the double posts?
Ten’s too easy. Grapper Baki was in my top list, but Son of Ogre really turned me off from the series.
Really, and this sounds bad, but the main problem with the Baki series is Baki himself. The supporting characters have rarely disappointed me unless being used to job for Baki’s sake.
Oh shit and i forgot about meguru. That is my legit top four
Aiki
Meguru
Veritas
Kenichi
Rest of you have too low standards. And anyone that lists Ippo needs to be ashamed.
And I’m surprised you guys like Tough so much. It 100% feels like a knockoff of Baki.
I’m honestly surprised no one said DBZ. God bless all of you ninjas.
Tough is the lesser of the two evils. Kibo is ridic yes, but nothing is as bad as Baki. Save for Gohan and Ichigo.
Tough is what Baki should have been imo. Tight art, great fights, and only semi unrealistic with the retarded shit they do.
Tough is way better than Baki. At least Kiibo can go toe to toe with both of his pops! I said toe to toe, not win or get horribly destroyed and have to job his ass off.
The original Grappler Baki was great though, I didn’t have a single fight I didn’t like and the finale was great. I used to think NGB’s Death Row arc was the weakest arc of the series, but now SoO has steadily creeped its way up there. SoO had some great concepts and potential fights, but it was very poorly handled(The Pickle thing for instance was meant as an “exploration” of prehistoric man, and whether we had truly advanced from that time or was there set backs, and there was a lot of cool directions Itagaki could’ve went with the Pickle character that really was up to poor handling, not Pickle himself.)
