THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This episode creates a great animation for the audience, Baki recovers his way of fighting and we realize that it will be a more difficult battle for all the contestants (even his father realizes that)
Sometimes otakus are rejected by society, so I discovered that it is much better to be an
otaku in secret.

I'm also watching Dorohedoro also on Netflix, almost finished with it actually. And then this. Damn I'm seeing a lot of red lately and I love it. Anyway, yin-yang poison hands? Wut?

Tfw when an out of shape Baki is still bigger and more shredded than you will ever be.

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

Good to have the new Baki season. It seems not so many people shared my hype for the new episode. Oh well lets go!

I think they could have shown the impact of those multiple strikes at baki a lot better,but it was a well animated fight overall. So retsu was basically betting on baki being matched with the Ying Yang poison guy from the start ? Not a smart strategy if you ask me

I was expecting a gradual recovery of bakis abilities,but the fight ended pretty much the moment the poison got counteracted. What a shame.

I had expected this (other poison negating the one that affected Baki) when Retsu said Baki was lucky to fight against another strong poison user.

Didn't expect Baki to lose the poison (and hell lot of blood) so fast, expected that would happen later on. Well Bad luck for Li but good luck for Baki to be matched in the first match.

Is it me or has the animation slightly improved?

Well, I guess it's not just me, because a couple of other people on this forum have made the same observation.

From the opening theme, to a lot of the shots featuring Muhammad Alai, Jr.
There's also more emphasis on fighting techniques in this season, as it's a tournament in a closed space. So obviously, the animators are going to be tasked with animating fight sequences.
PLUS, season 2 has half the amount of episodes as season 1, giving the animators more time to focus on each episode.
But the action sequences in the first two episodes didn't just hone in on fists hitting cheeks -- it seems the full bodies are being animated, head-to-toe, and engaging in movements. I don't wanna jinx the rest of this season, but it's certainly off to a good start, and I'm thrilled with the subtle improvement in animation.

I'm pretty sure that the only thing Baki got out of the whole ordeal was that Kozue's magical tears were the only reason why he ended up feeling reinvigorated lmao

It was pretty hilarious to see that Baki getting horny was an integral part of the plan. Baki being horny for Kozue's pretty much his entire character up until now to be fair smh

You got to suspend your disbelief, but that was fun to watch. How did Baki grow his muscles back that quickly? Two wrongs make a right kind of situation with two poisons cancelling each other out.

The fights look much better than season 1 already. Kudos to the animation team.

Thankfully the poison is neutralized for good, it looks bad for China to have three of its mightiest warriors lose in a row to foreigners.

This series really doesn't need Kozue bitching and crying every 5 minutes.

I really appreciate the art style on display here, and how Baki's lover's emotions are captured so dramatically, yet, still very classily. Awesome episode!
