Was he the worst arc?

By far.

Genuinely a slog to sit through, terrible fights where he shows infinite durability.

He was a decent character though. Just poorly used.

Was the power of protection too strong?

Best arc but ok.

As much as I love Sukune, dou 2018 is coming up worse in my opinion.

Baki's second from the bottom on the popularity polls right now, so I expect we'll be getting a major shake up soon (hopefully).

Musashi's arc became a real slog, but it definitely has it's massive highlights which are impossible to deny.

I'm glad he got dabbed on by someone but that fight made no sense given Musashi's feats up until then.

idk if we're reading the same series but i was hooked from the very moment the sumo dude broke Shibukawa's bullshit magic aiki. Every single fight so far has been entertaining and well narrated. It does raise the question of how a bunch of sumo retards are able to go toe to toe with the main cast but other than that it's much more entertaining than the previous dou imo

Nope.

Far better than sumo arc

baki needs more wholesome moments

Son > Dou 2018 > Gaidens > Dou > Grappler > New

Probably one of the best.

Baki has no real bad arcs, but the prisoners and raitai tournament were both mediocre.

They don't really go toe to toe with them. Kyogei got wrecked in one chzpter as soon as shibukawz got serious and couldn't fo shit against aiki in real condition, he got downed as fast as the giant e1 max tournament jobber. The professor did well but doppo still had the match in the bag and struggled way more against ali or amanai. Abi got steamrolled and sishimaru could have been one shot by a single mach kick if katsumi didn't waked up him and started fucking around.

Will he protect us from the initiated gang?

Musashi's arc was a slog yes, but at the very least he made a credible threat that didn't require everyone acting like brain dead, shit meme spewing orangutans to ignore how utterly absurd the arc's premise is.

Where do I start if I want to get into Baki? Chronological? Shit has so many entries, it feels like getting into Fate all over again.

Memetobe is weak to Grand Sumo.

fighting...
...is nice

Why is he such a kind and gentle person?

If you ever wanted to see Stan Bush doing the apnea rush.

Grappler Baki --> New Grappler Baki --> Son of Ogre --> Baki Dou --> Baki Dou (2018)
The rest are side stories you can read whenever.

Max tournament sucks fat balls
You know this is the truth
>a shitrillion fights that drag on for a shitton of chapters each
>plot armor the worst it ever was in the series
the one positive it has is the 2 good fights it had and the characters it introduced

Yes, schizo

Retsu boxing and some of Pickle was worse. Nearly everything before Maximum Tournament was terrible, only Hanayama was ok.

Sumo has far cleaner storytelling so far. Pickle, Musashi, Prisoners, early Grappler were all over the place. You can say they had higher highs (outside of pre-MT Grappler), but I love the pure, clean story we've had this time. The editor will force some random Ogre shit any day, judging by popularity poll, though...

Retsu boxing went nowhere and it's always weird as fuck to read then i was completely forgotten forever
