I was wrong. Those two new members were weak as hell.
Oliva's pocket stance had me laughing. Literal abs of STEEL.
Baki low diffing his opponent in 2 seconds!

In some ways this show is like One Punch Man in the sense that it tends to give the audience false hopes of tough opponents to be brushed aside and to establish the "power levels" of the main and side characters. Sometimes it can be annoying but i guess its has already become trademark of Baki author's way of storytelling.

Every fiber of Jaku emits pure soy, don't have hopes for him.

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

Loved the no nonsense approach from Baki, and that father and son moment was almost heartwarming.

This episode's title is "hand pocket" lol. And look at that, Oliva and Ron's fight turned out to be the longest yet, and it was intense as hell! And it was quickly followed by Baki's fight which I'm pretty sure to be the shortest so far. And this dude Jaku, I thought he was ok but this bitch be dirty as fuck which is why he's going to lose

Baki is amazing. Pure entertainment, some of the best I've seen tbh. Biscuit Oliva is a goddamn beast, love when big guys aren't just disposable muscle in anime and actually hold their own and more. Oliva vs Ron was incredible, one of the best fights I can remember.

Oliva vs Ron was definitely the highlight of the show up until now. The mind games deployed,the techniques shown and the sheer dedication to win shined throughout the fight. Not sure why they got rid of Olivia's injury right after the fight though.

Baki is basically turning in to Yujiro 2.0 .Just fucking pulverizes his opponents left and right which really makes his fights dull. Glad to see my man Jaku in all his glory. His love for the sport and his students is so strong that he doesn't care if the whole audience turns against him.

Gotta love Oliva. What a beast of man

Dammit Unchained don't play around with your prey! So martial arts wasn't a match against the godly muscles and the 'stylish' fighting style of Oliva after all. Shunsei is quite the disappointment for Kaku, should take a note or two from Yujiro's good boi Baki

There’s not a single time that I think the animation team is cutting corners. There’s no cheap CGI or still frames or cheap angles. The entire animation is immersive and unfolds before your very eyes. Even in the face of such intricately designed characters. Fantastic. Simply marvelous.

I also like the crowd shots. Almost every shot of the crowd features different background characters, many of which move as opposed to staying still. This beats out years and years and years of repeated and repetitive still shots of crowds in anime.

It was awesome to see that Oliva won the match using pure strength despite his opponent's advantage in the technical aspect. I'll have to admit that I actually felt kinda bad for Ron because he ended up getting that mangled by the time he gave up.

That was definitely Baki's best match to date in the Netflix anime, at least! It's with fights like this that makes it apparent that he's really the Son of the Ogre.

I'd like to see Retsu win this one and it's looking like it's going that way!

Ron shouldn't try these things on Oliva, he forgot how strong that guy is, meanwhile Baki is DESTROYING his opponent lmao, the son just got ridiculed. Time for Retsu's fight against the beardy bald guy
