This was pretty good. The opening was fire. I enjoyed the few fights that happened and one of them was quite gory. It is nice to see Yuijiro being badass

Thanks for the confirmation, currently into ep 3 and the animation is truly awesome, I've read the manga before and ouch it hurts seeing all those nut cracking moments animated to such quality

Yujiro is pretty fucking op, I remember this dude in the first Baki anime seriously gave me the chills. Also, based on the trailer alone, I don't think I like that muhhammad jr, annoying pick.

I missed Baki a lot, what absolute fookin legends these fighters are.

Kengan Ashura was a good replacement - but it ain't no Baki.

Damn, that was so awesome. Seems even more violent than last season. Yujiro ripped that guys flipping face off.

This is probably gonna be split cour then, as I remember Netflix confirming more arcs than the tournament being adapted. But yeah animation and effects were top tier in this 1st episode.

Yesss, it's back! Gotta love the series' ridiculousness!
Can't believe they made a reference to Muhammad Ali vs Antonio Inoki. That fight in real life was hilarious. Yuujirou was wild as hell after Mohammad ALAI Jr. straight up walked out on him.
Wait, Dorian is participating? LOL.
Honestly, I don't even know if I can break 10 rice crackers, Yuujirou.
Sea King Ryu's abs are the size of a normal human's chest. Goddamn, and his vascularity... But it's too bad his opponent is Yuujirou.

I came for THIS, props for pointing it out. Inoki vs Ali was a weird and anticlimatic fight but it created the precedent of striker versus grappler match-up (that persists till today in modern MMA) and most importantly paved the way for the creation of Japanese Mixed Martial arts in Japan, under the Pancrase, Shooto and later PRIDE organizations. It was a very important fight, especially for the Japanese which at the time were trying to prove that their fighting styles were the strongest, Boxing versus "Catch wrestling".

One of the first MMA fights in history, probably the first important one but i guess most viewers, will not even realize that the show is narrating a real life success that happened back in 1976, especially if they dont know much about the history of combat sports. Love how the author pays tribute to important figures of the history fight game while creating a realistic context on a pretty exaggerated show. Baki author truly is a passionate fan of the fighting game.

Just gotta leave the room lol. Yuijiros rage was hilarious and damn, how he wrecked the Sea Emperor was savage.

Great first episode, didn't remember the series being so hype tbh.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Goddamn, that first episode. THAT scene left he stunned for a few seconds, forgot how brutal this show is. It's just pure adrenaline, no holds barred anime that I've missed.

I don't mind recaps, but the recap in question was almost half the lenght of the episode. The opening track was a bit odd, definitely more off a fan of beasteful by grand rodeo,but I might get used to it after a few listens.

The sea king Ryu fight is just as brutal as it was in the manga so it's definitely a faithful adaptation up until now. Can't wait to see the rest of the episodes. Hoping that they don't start using the abysmal cgi models in the fights again.

Great way to start the season. I still love the comedy in this show. Mohammad Jr. trolling Yujiro by leaving the room. Yujiro stomping with his feet on the floor and the guys at the hotel thought it was a terrorist attack. :D

Later the spectators at the tournament talking about "a japanese guy is the victim" - they didn't know about Yujiro.

Opening is nice.

Edit: And Dorian? Lol. :D

Almost missed this new season. Already hyped for all the crazy fights to come (heck even Dorian is there). Gotta love Mohammed Alai Jr. for just leaving the room there while the almighty Yujiro was just lying on the ground waiting for an attack. Already expected Yujiro to be a lot stronger than the Grandmaster but that was just slaughter there, the old man only tried to do few attacks and was already massively countered.

It looks like Muhammad Ali Jr. owes Yujiro a proper counter to the Igari tactic lmao

Allowing Yujiro Hanma of all people to participate in any fighting tournament, no matter how presitigious and powerful the participants are, was a gigantic mistake they'll never forget. It was shocking to see him rip out that old guy's face right away and it was even more surprising to see him try to get another blow on him even after that.
