Baki the Grappler

Do people genuinely like Baki manga or just read it to laugh at it?

>do people laugh at a comedy manga?
what kind of retarded question is that?

Musashi cutting people mentally was always funny. I laugh at it but also just enjoy it. Surprisingly philosophical about the nature of fighting and martial artists.

Why not just read Vagabond?

I do. I enjoy it as well.

A shit series written by a beta Jap fantasizing about Japanese beating up westerners.

Vagabond does not have as much action, and is not as silly

The series' philosophy about what constitutes "a real fight" is retarded though.

I always hated Baki, always.


The drawing, the phrasing, the aesthetics, the characters, the composition. The way it depict concept such as love, pride, strength. It's a stupid manga for imbeciles.


Then I read the manga…


I left the cave and its shadow.
I saw the light for the first time.
I bathed in it's radiance.


Yuichiro smiled at me and I smiled at him.


Everything made sense.
The movement of planets.
The birth of a child.
Love between a man and woman.
The struggle of life.
The flow of time.


I was part of everything for a brief moment in time.


And I knew the answer.


Strong.


Strong is beautiful.

It's grotesque, but it really sucks you in. Baki is highly entertaining.

Is he on to something?

I read it because strong is beautiful

Who Wins.

Toa vs Hanayama
Falcon vs Doppo
Carlos vs Shibukawa

Baki power levels are way crazier than Kengan's. I'd say that Kengan top tiers like Toa, Gensai, Wakatsuki etc peak out at like convict tier. Someone like Hanayama or Doppo could solo the Kengan tournament. Top tiers like Baki, Pickle or Sukune would do it with zero trouble.

Yes I do genuinely like Baki.
Everything about it.
I adore it.
I have fucking yelled with my hands in the air while reading this manga and have had shivers of true extacy.

Baki is something where you walk into it preparing for a lot of unintentional comedy, but instead you end out being completely drawn into it and its absurd world and cast.

It's just manly men who love punching other manly men. Despite being over-the-top and absurd, very little actually happens without there being some sort of underlying idea to it, and there's a surprising amount of surprisingly understated humor.

He's okay, right bros?

He is going to come back as a rikishi after recognizing the power of WASSHOI

He'll have to get rid of his inverted triangle.

Yuichiro is cute! CUTE!

It's mostly japs who have some weird "muh samurai face" cultural reaction to it, and rice wiggers who more likely than not use rosetta stone.

How did you get past the early chapters though? Cause I legitimately felt like I was being lobotomized reading this shit.

There's a part of me that's very sad that we probably won't get to see more of this glorious motherfucker.

There's also a part of me that's happy that we won't get to see more of him. I like the fact that we get such a strong impression of who he was and why Yuujiro is the way he is just from his tiny appearance. If he became a regular character it would take away all his mystique, it would also likely destroy the entire point of Yuuichiro: That unlike the rest of the cast, he has nothing to prove and no desire to fight.

watch the 2001 anime instead, then continue reading the manga

>slaps work on everyone regardless of strength because they target the skin, just trust me bro
>Baki is completely unfazed by Yanagi's benda, then bendas him back and he's paralyzed with pain because Baki's stronger
>Later Yujiro bendas Baki and he is taken out of commission because Yujiro is stronger
What did they mean by this

Started reading ironically a decade ago. Now I'm genuinely enjoying the ride.

I hate you

If you don't like Baki you're either a woman or a homosexual.

>imbyling he will submit in the face of some fat bastards remarks
Just imagine the amount of shit he will recive from his beautiful girlfriend

One of my favorite manga series of all time
I also unironically love the art and think Itagaki is a genius

Even back in Maximum Tournament you had characters like Garland who legitimately stood a good chance of winning the whole Kengan tournament. In Convict arc we have shit like Speck destroying the Statue of Liberty and Suedo (a jobber) surviving Dorian slam dunking him onto concrete from 100+ meters. And that shit is considered mid-tier.
Also Falcon isn't particularly strong compared to monsters like Agito or Waka, don't know why you listed him.

It's not that hard. Firstly, a Benda isn't just a regular slap, it's a high level technique that requires great body control and specifically targets skin. The rest is literally what you said, strength matters. If you get slapped by a 150 pound girl you'll feel it. If you get slapped by Eddie Hall you'll feel it more.

We have dinosaurs and ghosts and shit
Just give the nigga a ghost dinosaur spine
