chapter's out, dumping

the standing man...

>>282161425
Jack didn't even get to know about the tattoo

>>282161398
Damn
The kind of criplying damage that godou can inflict is pretty intense.
Its like a full dot-bleeding/poison build

>>282161425
>>282161459
>>282161491
Fucking called it. All the anons talking mad shit about Jack last chapter BTFO.

Jacksisters... WE WON!

Kato what the fuck have you been smoking?

Jack fucking won.
TOLD YOU BRAINLESS NIGGER FAGS!!!

Kato's humiliation ritual incoming

>>282161491
I even predicted Jack would stand on his hands just like this
Honestly, I should just write Baki at this point. I'm ALWAYS fucking right.

it's time to get HYPE for katou's first fight since Dorian I think?
break next week

>>282161885
>>282161919
kek it's gonna be chiharu all over again

>>282161585
I was never in doubt my fellow jacksisters.

>>282161919
>Katou who's never been that impressive wants to jump Baki because he's not convinced on'em

Oh, okay

>Um akchually Hanayama bled out
>No blood anywhere
>There's more blood shed by Jack than by Hanayama drawn through the fight
???????

>>282161919
I'm honestly up for it because it's going to be peak comedy

>>282161781
it's like reading dragon ball super and Yamcha suddenly say "hey, you know, i don't really buy this "Goku is the strongest stuff" I'm gonna beat the shit out of him "

>>282161919
Next chapter open with Katou in a hospital bed, kek. Then he will recall the events of how Baki beat him under 3 seconds.

>>282162056
Jack is terrible and all his fights are bad. This one was almost good but this one chapter alone ruined it by having him just stand up and "heh didnt hurt!!! plus u bled out!!" while he walks away again. Hopefully for fucking good this time.

You now remember there's a Katofag in these threads some time ago that wished he could see his hero fighting again

>>282161919
What's this tiny BITCH doing in Jack's manga?

>>282161398
This is so dumb

>>282162056
Last chapter he was making big movements to combo on Jack while bleeding through the carotid.
Jack should have gotten more roughed up still.

>>282161849
>He beat Yuujiro
Man, shut the fuck up.

>>282161398
Jackbros we won!!!!

>>282162262
Baki is quite literally the only person that doesn't acknowledge that he beat his father

>>282162100
Does an anime not triumph when its prey bleeds out and dies? Is the komodo dragon actually weak when it waits for its venom to take effect? Hanayamasisters freak out at the notion of something resembling a strategy.
>d-didn't hur-
Golden coming from Hanayamasisters when his ENTIRE CHARACTER revolves around loldidn'thurt.

>>282162056
>No blood anywhere
Hanayama was bleeding out of his neck every single panel after Jack bit him. Why do you think Hanayama started rushing him when he never does so otherwise? He got desperate.

>>282162056
>>282162100
Cope and seethe

>>282161919
>sneaking up from behind
Gaia vs Musashi part 2

>>282162331
>Golden coming from Hanayamasisters when his ENTIRE CHARACTER revolves around loldidn'thurt.
And now so does Jack's, so thank you for agreeing with me that it's bad.

>>282162436
>And now so does Jack's
Because he took a few hits and even puked from one? What's with the victim complex? Just getting back up doesn't mean it didn't hurt.

Couldn't Hanayama have tried to... you know... not get bitten in the neck?

>>282161585
He never said he won btw. This is the same guy that loudly announced his victory against pickle before the match was over.

>>282162592
Hanayama doesn't block

>>282162488
>What's with the victim complex?
Genuinely: are you retarded? I've never even said I like Hanayama anywhere. I said Jack's boring. I said it after the Pickle fight, I said it after his Sukune fight. I said it after his fight with Kosho.

>Just getting back up doesn't mean it didn't hurt.
Yes, him stoically kipping up and walking away after getting multiple full page kicks from a character we're told repeatedly is freakishly strong does kind of imply that. At this point Hanayama's been no-sold more times than he's actually been sold, so he's just as pointless a character.

>>282162730
Perhaps he's been humbled.

>>282161919
Next time: Katou fucking dies

>>282162325
and he's right

>>282161425

OUR FAITH?
VINDICATED!

>Jack actually won without making himself look good and immediately started biting even though he said he wouldn't
Good. I hope he's on the way to being a completely shameless fighter who mauls people while showing his asshole.

>>282161919

Ahhh yes, the cope

How would Yujiro counter this?

>>282161919
BAKI HOLY FUCK LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU JESUS H CHRIST

>>282161678
I'm not sure that's how it works

>>282161849
Kato you watched this kid demolish a 240cm 300kg grizzly bear of a man in the first round of the Maximum Tournament!

>>282161425
Jack’s fights with Pickle and Hanayama both started off strong but had wet fart anticlimax finishes. What a pity

>>282161781
the "I'm doubting it" crossed arms, lower diagonal look is climbing up there in my Baki tropes

>>282161425
JACKBROS DOMINATION

LMFAO Hanayamacucks on suicide watch

>>282161919
katou is honestly my favorite d-rank jobber character

>>282162056
Were you too busy jacking (heh) off to this spread to see the trail of blood gushing out of his neck?

>>282161849
KWAB he thinks he's on /a/

>>282162754
>Yes, him stoically kipping up and walking away after getting multiple full page kicks from a character we're told repeatedly is freakishly strong does kind of imply that
So the prior chapters just stop existing? At that point you may as well pretend Jack didn't scream his lungs out as Hanayama was ripping his cheeks off.
>I said it after the Pickle fight
You're unfathomable, really? Top 5 fights?
>I've never even said I like Hanayama anywhere
You gave me the impression after trying to say suddenly "loldidn'thurt" was Jack's entire character because he recovered after a nasty beating. Which I find asinine as every single character in the entire series does this. Even Katou was fine after getting a metal wire through this throat which should have decapitated him but it just didn't.

>>282161919
BAKI NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>282161919
Bros about to get CLAPPED

>>282162754
I think Jack is just really resilient rather than he didn’t take damage but at this point in the manga the fights take place in a different timeline and their injuries are forgotten in between these divergent timelines
And at least Musashi explicitly needed to distract Hanayama to give himself a breather and recover. Even then Baki thought another haymaker would have cleaned his clock but damage is clearly arbitrary in Baki

Hanayama won.
Jack broke his own words and only from the mercy he was shown was able to keep going multiple times without being broken into a meat slab.

>>282163218
>300kg
Baki and its relationship with weight classes confuses me. At one point they'll be like
>This guy has 20kg on him, he should have a raw power advantage
Yet the character never lets you believe for even a moment that they're comparable to someone like Hanayama or Pickle who would be dwarved by such stats.
Baki back in the Childhood arc had full on multipliers attached to him like it was Dragon Ball, he got "four times stronger than Hanayama" who was more than twice his size. Baki beat Oliva by bruteforcing it but he's still only 70kg, Pickle isn't even as heavy as Oliva for that matter. Baki (the character) plays the role of the speedster who hits light and also the freight train whenever, how is he able to match the others in strength? What meaning are weight classes really?

>>282163660
This. Hanayama was going easy on Jack and still managed to be the one standing in the end.

So Katou is suddenly being realistic in this world of magical realism? It's kinda odd that he's completely ignoring Baki's feats.

>>282163795
>still managed to be the one laid out on the stretcher
ftfy

>>282163795
Hanayama was just doing what Hanayama does. He wasn't "going easy" on Speck.

Another Jack victory?
Yes sir, check em.

>>282163660
>Jack broke his own words
What? Not only did this not happen, but Jack shouldn't give a shit about breaking his word to win a fight anyway.
If you're talking about him saying he could win without biting, then remember that this is not a statement that he WON'T bite, but that he believed he could do so without biting. Out of respect of Hanayama and desire to show off his fighting style, he did bite. There's no moral failing there, and "moral loss" isn't something Jack accepts because his current character arc is about how he believes he'd do anything to win and that you can be the victor even if you're the one on the ground.
Jack accepts his loss when it becomes clear to him. He admitted defeat to Baki back in the MT. He admitted defeat to Pickle after he was informed about the state he was found in. He admitted defeat to Motobe after getting tied up.
An opponent taking mercy on him means little if he himself doesn't think he's defeated yet.
Jack's rude awakening will come when he realizes that he does care about aesthetics and that his whole "losing even while lying down" is a deliberate aesthetic choice.

So who will humble Jack later?

>>282163660
>>282163795
Hanayama would be ashamed to see his fans making pathetic excuses for him

>>282163994
Baki or Yujiro

>>282163137
>>282161678

>>282163817
Katou hasn't been personally present for everything Baki has done. He's freely admitted that Baki is amazing, but I don't think he's ever been personally present for the Cockroach Dash or his fight with Pickle.
Maybe he's just been making strides in his personal improvement and hasn't seen any of Baki's new tech for a while, so he wants to see for himself if Baki is really the shit.

>>282163994
Hanada

>>282164046
They both aldready did. I think it should be Hanada.

>>282163984
I don't know why "we" pretend Jack's losses in any way particularly make him look bad.
>Pickle
Everyone jobbed to Pickle.
>Baki
Main character, CEO of Didn'thurt Corporation, finals of a long tournament arc
>Motobe
A Motobe that specifically prepped for Jack with a ton of surprises and wasn't fighting similar to any other fighter in the series. The same Motobe who got one over on fucking Musashi of all characters.

Raise a triumphant cry, you mighty champions

>>282163994
Last pages should've clued you in. It's going to be Kato

>>282164150
I personally don't think they make him look especially bad. Jack has always been on the more impressive end. It's just that modern "fraud watch" culture is a fucking cancer.
>Pickle
Correct, everyone lost to Pickle in ways thematically appropriate to their characters that displayed different ways in which Pickle was outrageous, but also displayed important aspects of his character even without him being able to speak.
>Baki
This was the single best fight of the MT and Baki and Jack both gave it their all to end that fight in a razor thin margin. You couldn't find a more even fight in this manga.
>Motobe
That win specifically showcases what's special about Motobe and reinforces a glimpse of his character that was shown against Yanagi. It also showed how Jack was taking the situation too lightly.
Not one of these losses make him look bad. They're important to his character.

>>282164159
hooooooooly I kneel jackGODS

also Hanayama got called a victim lol lmao

>>282164282
Exactly. Motobe gave the impression he was fodder in the MT but any time he fights afterward he shows he's immeasurably more powerful when he has weapons on hand. Even Baki could have had his neck sliced open or stabbed if Motobe actually felt like it there in his little demonstration. I don't think he's relied on fighting without a weapon after the MT anyway.

>>282161538
Hanayama could do similar by pinching one of the arteries. Tears just as easy as muscle.

>>282164494
Hanayama is too soft.

>>282164375
Motobe basically stopped showing up to arena because he knows that's not where he belongs. He's a mediocre fighter, but a great warrior in this age.

>>282164159
Found more mighty champions

>>282161919
this is gonna end with Baki one shotting Katou with a roundhouse kick to the jaw at lightning fast speed

>>282161849

No he wasn't. That's just how he fights.

>>282161726
Shave those pubes on your face, you hobo.

I believed in my Fuarking hero Jack

>>282161919
Baki really should get new pants

>>282165073
Torn jeans are still in so long as Baki is wearing them

>>282161885
STFU Katou, not this shit again

>>282165073
Those are a new pair the Hanma jeans cause every pair to rip and tear. That's why Yujiro wears baggy stretchy pants

RAIHAN SISSIES
YOU ARE THE NEXT TO BE GODOU’D

>>282161885
>Got one shot by Doppo last arc
>Thinks he can take on Baki

>>282161585
Ya know, it kinda makes sense.
Jack said he would do anything to win.
People were expecting him to do something epic and crazy, some reckless do-or-die technique.
Itagaki went even further, he showed that Jack isn't afraid of disappointing readers with his completely unimpressive performance in a fight without any proper climax at all.
This is a lot worse than showing his asshole would be.
Bravo, Itagaki, truly Jack will do anything to win.

>>282165166
the seethe is delicious

>>282161425
>one is unconscious standing, one is unconscious on the ground
The one who stands in the end is righteous.

>jack manga
>half the chapter about Baki
The dude however will get destroyed by Jack instead

>>282163753
>Baki beat Oliva by bruteforcing it but he's still only 70kg
If you pay attention to the ground in that fight, Baki was using his entire body and footwork (ie, stomping against the ground behind him to generate ground reaction force) while Ovila was just mostly using his upper body strength, his legs were just for bracing himself. Not to say Baki didn't need superhuman strength to do the shit he did in that fight, but if it comes to specific feats of strength that restrict which muscle groups you can engage, I don't think he would be able to do what Ovila can. But that is largely meaningless in a fight.

>>282164159
Called the jack win but didn’t expect the bleed out
Great fight I think when the audience can predict the outcome like this, you can’t have a discourse like this for Kengan these days

I like Jack's development in this fight. Despite technically winning, he doesn't feel proud or even feel he won at all. This will make him question if his philosophy is even right. If he does finally beat Yujiro using an underhanded method that isn't satisfying, what would be the point?

>>282165199
>seethe
None whatsoever.
I was rooting for Jack in this fight, and will be rooting for him in his eventual "final boss" encounter, be it with Baki or Yujiro.
I just hope it won't be the same "Yeah, I was getting manhandled for 50 panels straight while shitting and pissing myself, but on panel 28 I bit you in the left nut so I win" kind of fight.

>Hanayama lost to Katsumi

Hanayama bros...

>>282163994
His mom

>>282161425
He's bled harder than this and he passed out with this papercut? What the fuck is this Itagaki.

>>282161849
did kato forgot the time he shitted his pants against the yasha saru in the MT, and how tokugawa tell him baki beated one when he was 13?

>>282161919
literally who v. literally who

Why is Baki suddenly getting the spotlight in Jack's manga? Where'd Jack go? Who is Jack's next opponent?

>>282166136
>Jack's manga
It's called BAKI Rahen, sis.

>>282166136
>Who is Jack's next opponent?
Hopefully he's about to get his salty runback with Motobe

>>282165220
>jack manga
I dunno, the title still looks like it has "Baki" in it to me.

>>282162068
LMAO! That's so true

>>282165849
He knew that he had crushed Jack so he just decided to take a small nap.

>>282166176
Will Motobe not use weapons like how Pickle didn't use his ultimate form?

>>282166418
Yes Jack will overwhelm him so much he won't even be able to use his trump card(s) just like Pickle, showing true dominance.

>>282161919
INB4 Baki's aura alone is enough to make him give up

>>282166389
>Hanayama shows up again
>Pic related but with Hanayama and Jack
>"I was just taking a nap, let's resume our fight now."

>>282166136
We're not switching Baki right now, we're switching to Katou. Will it last long? Who knows, probably not. Baki is just the obstacle right now

>>282161919
The fuck is wrong with Kato? Did Dorian leave him with mental retardation or what? You saw him fight in the Maximum tournament ffs
Also Hanayama won.

Over/under on Katou doing better than Chiharu?

>>282166625
>Also Hanayama won.
Holy cope

>>282164651
there's many things you can call itagaki that would be true, but until today, predictable was not one of them

>>282166626
Chiharu had guts, it will depend on how into it Katou will be

>>282165215
>unconscious on the ground
Speedreader-kun....

>>282161370 (OP)
BALD

They both passed out but Hanayama was still standing so let's agree that he didn't lose and that Jack didn't win.

>>282166885
>They both passed out
Re-read the chapter and this time go slower and pay attention

hanayamafags seething hard itt kek

>Um, akchually Baki's a fraud
Is Katou retarded?

>>282166885
>They both passed out
Next time read the chapter with your eyes open.

>>282161885
>>282161919
LETS GOOOO

>>282166923
He saw Baki's fight against that tiny sumo wrestler

>>282166885
Like it or not, Jack got knocked down but remained conscious, Hanayama somehow fainted. It's how the story goes. Stupid, but it's how it goes.
>>282166923
Dorian gave him lasting brain damage.

>>282166964
How far would Haru Urara make it in the MT?

>>282166981

>can't seem to find an opening because Baki's posture and demeanor say he's ready to go at any time

>Baki isn't even aware of his presence at all

>ripped jeans, floral shirt Baki /fa/

>>282167141
I'm fucking retarded

>>282166626
I don't think he's got even a fraction of Chiharu's tenacity, but he's tricky and will probably try to approach from different angles. It'll come down to Baki humoring him if they actually clash at all though. Chiharu only came at him from straight on, and I don't think Katou wants to attempt that nor would he do as well to try.

>>282161849
>nah, I'd win

>>282161885
>>282161919
Kato, fight a Yasa ape first at least before you go at Baki

Suedo > Katou

Both Suedo and Katou are more serious than Ali Jr. They have the red glint in their eyes instead of the blue glint.

>>282161919
Is he retarded

>>282164159
I’ll admit I didn’t even slightly believe

We can all argue that Hana or Jack won the fight, but at the end of the day.
The one man left standing was Jack and the one down was Hanayama.

>>282166746
It's extremely easy to be unpredictable for its sake, but it's not good writing to subvert just because you can

Could Kato beat 13 year old Baki?

>that Baki Dou trailer
What the fuck?

>>282167281
Tokugawa was a dickhead for keeping the Yasha Ape a secret until Katou's fight

>>282167400
Hanayama winning would have been have subversion. This is just a continuation of what Jack did against Sukune, but with the difference being he didn't pay enough respect to Hanayama at first because he was not familiar with his game. He chose to trade blows with him and played into Hanayama's rhythm by just running face-first into his fist multiple times, but he got serious in the end and beat him the same way he beat Sukune.

>>282167533
Oh definitely, and he loves it

>>282167440
He couldn't even beat Yasha Jr. Granted, he's had some time to improve since then, but if we're talking 13 year-old Baki at the end of the Childhood Saga, then Katou would probably have the floor mopped with him. We're talking about a Baki who got strong enough to trounce Yasha Zaru and went on to be able to fight Hanayama and Yuri AT THE SAME TIME for hours as a warmup. Child Baki was already a fucking freak of nature.

I've said it before and i'll say it again: gou-dou is fucking stupid.
Jack markets it as some sort of equalizer that weaker fighters can use to bridge the gap to stronger fighters, but if you take a look at how jack actually uses gou-dou, he first incapacitates his opponents with his powerful punches and throws and uses the moment of stun to land a bite, but realistically at that point when your opponent is forced to let your mouth be anywhere near them there's a whole number of things you could do to them other than biting. Gou-dou requires you to be in a winning position in the first place to be effective.
Those cute teeth-parries he sometimes uses aren't something you could use without titanium teeth and a neck as thick as a tree trunk. It's not a style for the weak, it's a style for jack and he's strong. In his fights so far he was never the underdog. Itagaki even went out of his way to show how Pickle is small compared to jack. Gou-dou is just a style Jack developed for himself. But he did the "heh i bit your artery now this fight's on a timer and if you don't finish me by then you'll pass out and i'll win hehe" even in the mt so it's not even as if it was new. I never expected Hanayama to win but like against musashi he did way better than I expected.

Man, Katou being uppity is really stupid. What's that about? He wasn't relevant in forever. Or ever, really.
>>282162847
B-but the soup was too salty!

>>282167044
This is exactly what is going to happen. You will screenshot this and post it come next chapter.

>>282166625
Did Sukune win too?

Hanayama is so classy, even in defeat. I wish Hanayama was my aniki.

>>282168120
Just beat a heavyweight boxing champion purely by having GUTS, and aniki might notice you.

>>282168184
What measure of a "win" is that? He lost by every metric. If that is a win I'll stay a loser the rest of my life.

>>282168120
He's a smooth sexer show back tattoo sir please for me?

Wtf apparently Jack Hanma just bit charlie kirk to death in Utah

>>282168451
In the future, Jack will be able to bite people without anyone noticing he was even there

How many times is Hanayama going to do the same ol' schtick? Only reason he gets by is because people play along with his role-play.

>>282168488
He almost bled out to death here, did he not?

>>282168120
Who taught you to use pc, Chiharu?

>Also why's the visual quality so bad this time?
Are you kidding?

>>282161491
MY FUARKING HEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hanayma and Charlie Kirk got both taken out the same way on the same day wtf

>>282168589
Because:
>>282161956

>>282168514
And Jack could have done that whenever he wanted.

>>282168184
>Just be such a brazen cheater that Togukawa let's it happen because he wants to see where you're going with this and aniki might notice you

>>282168998
Yeah. Problem?

>>282169018
I got your problem right here

>>282163994
Motobe

>>282163994
Togukawa's cat

>>282161919
Itagaki, please be nice to my son. I love him and cherish him. Kato means a lot to my small heart

>>282161678
This guy could moonlight as a ref in Hajime no Ippo

>>282161585
So who won.

>>282161919
It'd be based if Baki downright murders him desu

>>282168711
Tramp, you dare show your face in front of me again? Hopefully you'll learn your lesson this time! BEND OVER!!!

>>282168112
He won one and one and then he got ganged up on, it was a non- contest once his adversaries started cheating.

>>282169369
My hero

>>282161425
So is this what Jack saw? That he was running out of steam?


>>282161919
Watch him end up on the ground in one page and the rest of the chapter is him and Hanayama talking in the hospital.

>>282167087
And absolutely none of that is comparable to gushing out a ton of blood from the artery.

>>282168998
>Chiharu cheats 1 trillion times
>Nothing
>Iron Michael has his cornerman try to stop the fight even though he refused to stop the fight earlier and that was accepted
>INSTANT DISQUALIFICATION
>His gang members are holding him up and even the commentators are saying he beat the heavyweight champ down
I sort of get it and sort of don't. At least Chiharu doesn't recognize that """victory""" in his spinoff.

>>282169898
It's just nipwank for the sake of nipwank

>>282167309
suedo survived being dropped from a roller coaster so I'd say he's actually pretty tanky

>>282169369
According to Yujiro standards, Hanayama.
According to Motobe standards, probably Jack.

>>282169614
But Motobe wasn't even in the fight.

>>282171319
I don't think being unconscious while standing over your conscious opponent meets Yujiro's standards

>>282169829
Given the title page, I guess Jack 'saw' the type of person that Hanayama was or something.

>>282171373
Yujiro wasn't there for Baki's fight with Pickle either yet he still thought Baki "won" against Pickle and because of it he fought Baki.

where does jack shop for clothes?

>>282171394
It's basically the same as the Sukune fight. Yujiro's belief is that 'the one who's head is taller at the end of the fight is a winner'.
Now I doubt if he were watching the fight he'd actually say that Hanayama was the winner, and as Jack said at the end of the Sukune fight, 'sometimes fight just turn out like this'. In other words, as long as he wins, Jack doesn't care if his head is 'below' his opponents.
Or to put it another way, Jack doesn't care about looking cool so long as he wins. Sure he won against Hanayama, but for Baki folk waiting for his opponent to basically bleed out isn't really a cool way to win compared to beating them down.

>>282162887
he was right

>>282171527
Why is waiting for them to bleed out "not cool" but flipping an imaginary table and getting Yujiro to momentarily freak out after Yujiro beat the ever loving shit out of Baki to the point he can't fight anymore cool?

>>282171720
There's a reason that both of them feel like they lost that fight.
But technically it wasn't specifically flipping an imaginary table that was 'cool', it was the fact that Baki managed to essentially make Yujiro go to the kitchen and cook him a meal, even if it's an imaginary one.
Basically 'you managed to make me, the strongest being on earth, step into the kitchen and cook you a meal like a bitch, and then you even had the courage to tell me to my face that my cooking wasn't good enough for you. That takes some real giant balls.'

Jack is giving Hanayama the Joe William Yujiro walk

>>282171976
Baki didn't even make him do it. They just sat down and then Yujiro started cooking without Baki's input.

>>282172016
I know, Yujiro did it because the fight with Baki started making him feel fatherly and proud of Baki, so he wanted to do something for him iirc. But it does also go back to something he said earlier in the arc when Baki asked him for some coffee, Yujiro said that if Baki wanted Yujiro to make or cook something for him, he has to essentially make him do it like force and beat him into doing it.
Now that's not exactly how it happened, but as Yujiro himself said at the end of the fight, the end result is that Baki was someone who managed to make Yujiro, the strongest being on earth, stand in the kitchen and cook something for someone else.

>>282172102
He made a woman out of him, by accident.

>>282161585
Jack bros, this means we won right?
Right?

First man down is the loser
Hanyama knew he won and then his adrenaline wore off

Sorry for doubting you Jack

>>282161425
jack won!!!!

>>282172423
Get with the times, we view fights through a Motobenian lens in these halls

>>282161491
FUCKING BEAST

>I can literally rip off any part of you and knock your shit in. I made you literally puke and piss onto the concrete and you screeched on pain.
Nah I'd win.

Jack is the Harururara of Baki when you think about it. Even if he'd lost he would still be MY HERO.

But he won.

JACK VS PICKLE 2 is a complete shame compared to Jack vs. Pickle 1, which could very well be the best fight in the entire manga.
Imagine going from pure kino to pure cringe

>>282161648
Jack's body is completely fucking ridiculous here. I understand he has long limbs, but holy christ.

>>282173147
look at the post above yours

>>282161885
uhhhh kato what the fuck are you doing, you only ever lose, exclusively, you aren't even kosho dude please
I mean holy shit even katsumi isn't dumb enough to do this and you're not him

>>282161585
Blood loss from the neck carotid is quite strong it seemeth

So, hanayama won right?
Jack had clown panels and Hanayama had cool ones = he won.

>>282172417
do you feel like you won?

>>282173301
Jack had the last say though. Even the police force saw Hanayama manhandling Jack, It's Jack who gets to to say what happened.

>>282173327
Hell yeah, a win is a win.

>>282173301
Hanayama only cares about power and image and he came out looking stronger and cooler, and Jack only cares about winning no matter how bad he looks. By their standards, they both won.

>>282173447
>Hanayama only cares about power and image

No, what's important to Hanayama is the code of the Yakuza. He doesn't care about image. He and Jack are similar in that way. Itagaki even says it in the first page of this chapter lmao

>this just in a Japanese martial artist just made headlines after daring fight with the strongest man alive, Baki Hanma
>he's now being placed on the front page of the Guinness book of fucking retards

so i guess we're done with Jack

>>282161919
What is Baki doing? Just having a walk? On his way to buy groceries? Going to the gym?
Definitely not going to see his girlfriend
What does Baki do in his daily life?

>>282173705
I love whenever we see glimpses of Yujiro just hanging out. I especially loved the flashbacks to him as a kid being genuinely entranced by dinosaurs he saw on the screen etc in the Pickle arc.

I assume baki is just chilling but every once in a while he'll autistically stare at something and reminisce about how it relates to fighting.

>>282173551
>He doesn't care about image
Yeah the guy who went out of his way to gain tons of scars for his standing man tattoo to feel complete definitely doesn't care about image. Not at all.

>>282161919
This is gonna be like the kid getting gigaspanked all over again

>>282174010
It wasn't about the image ( the scars) itself but the act. It's different.

>>282167309
Suedo vs. Dorian exposed how weak Dorian was. By far the weakest prisoner with the least impressive feats.

why the fuck is the guy who fought baki early on has been able to watch baki's growth for years questioning his ability to fight?
what retarded characterization
this would be way better from some older character who got knocked out of a something early like a maximum tournament guy or some chinese fuck who never touched a hanma
this manga is so dumb

>>282174419
Forgive Katou, he is weak and stupid. Doppo trained him wrong, as a joke.

>>282161919
Poor Kato is going back in the sandbag.

>>282173705
He wants for nothing, so he kind of just spends his days wandering around hoping for something to happen.

>>282173705
He has a school he goes to and he seemingly hasn't graduated so he's still in education.

>>282161425
>>282164974
This. Memetobe was right. Jack lost, Hanayama won.
>>282169369
Hanayama, but it was not a clean victory. He bleed out but managed to defeat Jack before that.

>>282163660
>Hanayama won.
Pretty much. This is Baki and the moment Hanayama knocked down Jack, it was over.
Same to how Baki defeated Yuujirou, he tricked him and the moment Yuujirou was caught in Baki's illusion, he lost the match.
Most Baki fights follow that logic and nature, both fought and the score ended the moment someone went down, which was Jack.

>>282166625
>Also Hanayama won.
Absolutely.

I always thought Baki characters had infinite blood???

>>282172699
>we view fights through a Motobenian lens in these halls
That's only for warriors

The Hanayama sister cope is insane with this one

>>282174777
Fights don't end until both fighters acknowledge it's over. Baki and Zulu followed the same logic back in the MT.

>>282174832
>I got knocked down
>And he bled out
That seems like a Hanayama victory for me. Can't convince me otherwise.

>>282174777
>This is Baki and the moment Sukune threw down Jack, it was over.
This is how you sound.

>>282173551
>he doesn't care about image
If you genuinely believe this, you're retarded.

>>282174893
Sukune was defeated by Jack, I'm not denying that. I'm just saying it's more ambiguous with this fight and I'm leaning more into Jack losing and accepting he got knocked down, that Hanayama losing by bleeding out.

>>282174867
>Fights don't end until both fighters acknowledge it's over.
The thing is, Jack is talking their brawl was to see who was stronger. If that was the point, then Hanayama won.
Sure, we can also consider a tie, or even Hanayama losing, but I believe Hanayama won this one.
Seriously, not trying to be obtuse here, I just don't think Jack won.

>>282174977
>their brawl was to see who was stronger
That's an abstraction to begin with. By Jack's current philosophy, he was stronger. The one who wins is the one who is stronger. Jack's logic is that because he was still conscious, even while lying down, and Hanayama was unable to continue, he was the winner.
A lot of it is about self-satisfaction. Most of the cast have a tacit understanding what makes a win a win and whether a fight is over. Hanayama himself would probably also say he lost, or at the very least that he didn't win. Jack doesn't seem especially thrilled about the way he arrived at the outcome, but he seems to accept the result.

>>282174727
Motobe actually disagrees with the Ogre on that point though. His belief is whoever can threaten the other's life first is the winner.
And by that logic, it's Jack because well, Hayama literally bled out and needs to go to the hospital if he wants to live.

>>282174665
to be fair its only been like two years in universe since the maximum tournament

what if jack has three chapters of jacking off but he can't cum?

>>282175052
What I wonder is what can be considered a victory. If we follow Yuujirou standards Hanayama won by being the one who was still one his feet, but on the other hand Hanayama bleed out, for Motobe, Jack won by being that could decide if he killed or not Hanayama. This is a tough one. Because Memetobe logic is about warriors, but Yuujirou is more about fighters.
I will have to think about this. I still firmly believe this one goes for Hanayama, but it's quite debatable, especially in favor of Jack.
>>282175094
True. I was wrong about that. For Motobe is the one who decides who lives while for Yuujirou is who stands taller.

>>282175219
on his feet*
by being the one that could decide*
Sorry

The real winner is me

I won the moral battle.

>>282175219
Honestly that's kind of why this is kind of a pointless debate, because it simply comes down to which philosophy you personally subscribe to. And both would be valid, because both have been brought up within the series itself.
The ultimate decider will probably come up in the next few chapters after Hayama wakes up in the hospital and we get his (and probably Jack's) reflection on the fight. Because the other 'defeat' condition is you only lose if you decide you lost, so we'll see if either of them feel like they lost this match.

>>282175052
>>282175094
>>282175355
Same anon here, I reread the chapter and yeah Hanayama lost. What gave me the clue was what Sonoda said "the victim's not going to press charges". If Hanayama was the real winner he wouldn't be called victim.
Yeah, Jack won and damn, I seriously thought Hanayama won this one.
Jackanons, you guys won this day.

Can someone really win when everyone dies eventually?

>>282175377
>Sonoda

Sonoda is a civie cop. His point of view is as alien as Musashi's was to the cast. Like >>282175355 said, we'll see in the coming chapters what Hanayama and Jack think of the fight and it's outcome.

>>282175553
Alright, that's also valid. I will wait.

>>282175355
>>282175219
The one still on his feet is Jack. Hanayama passed down and had to be carried away while Jack walked away on his own just fine, even making a show of it.
Jack wasn't knocked out or anything like that, then it could MAYBE be debated about who actually won. Jack was just knocked down and got back up seconds later, he never lost conscience or anything close to that.
I know Hanayama has a lot of fans but you guys are literally misinterpreting Yujiros philosophy to somehow make Hanayama look better.
He lost, that's it. He put up an amazing fight but he lost by everyone's standards.

>>282161585
JACKSISTERS.. I’ve been waiting for this since the breakfast Baki storytime of ‘21

>>282161678
The Raja Jackson incident set precedent for this

>>282175754
>It's been 4 years since breakfast Baki

Jesus Christ

Why are people surprised? Jack has been stronger than Hanayama since day 1. His godou shit just made the whole fight a lot easier for Jack, but he would have won either way, it would just take a lot longer.

>>282175816
How long since the spread asshole incident

i will be jack's first sexual partner

>>282167784
>Jack markets it as some sort of equalizer that weaker fighters
That's not how he markets it at all.
He claims gou-dou would be amazing for a weak fighter and that an already STRONG fighter is even stronger using it.
Also he doesn't want people to think gou-dou is cool and to suddenly start using it, it's not like he wants to become a gou-dou teacher or anything like that... I think

An american got shot in the neck today and bled out in like 10 seconds
I can understand why godou is strong
The neck is a weak spot

>>282174939
I agree with you anon. Jack wouldn't take the equivalent of shanking someone and running away as a valid win.

>>282176398
I know you are being sarcastic, but what really made me doubt of Hanayama winning, was the commentary of Sonoda, before rereading the chapter I was sure it was a victory for Kaoru, but after Sonoda said he was the victim, not so sure. But like other anon said a couple of posts above, we will have to wait to see if we get a confirmation about won the fight, if not, then Jack can be considered the winner.

>>282176095
It's too late

>>282173705
He actually just chills when he isn't fighting or training. He actually does shit like watch movies and read manga

Jake's getting too many W's. You know next fight is the humble chapter

>>282161919
What are we even doing at this point?

Post it. You know what I mean....

>>282161425
I wish Jack is not that huge. Maybe a few inches shorter than Pickle. His current size is too ridiculous and limits the type of fight you can have with him.

Hanayama canonically can barely do basic math

>>282177375
>I wish Jack is not that huge. Maybe a few inches shorter than Pickle. His current size is too ridiculous and limits the type of fight you can have with him.
Nah Itagaki is very flexible with heights anyways. Hanayama in this fight looked about as tall as Pickle did against jack

So what did Jack see after all?

>>282164159
hey this one's me
and I was FUCKING RIGHT
RAAAAAAAAAA JACK MY GOAT WON!!!!!!!

>>282173301
>>282173447
So how long is this Hanayama cope going to last?

>>282177735
>>282164159
I made it as well, stay winning Jackbros

>>282176095
We know, Dr. Kureha

>>282176095
We know, Yujiro.

>>282177960
Until Hanayama literally says he lost

So, sukune won right?
Jack had clown panels and Sukune had cool ones = he won.

>"Katou is too weak!!1! What is he gonna do??!?"
We just read an entire arc where Jack beat Pickles but got his ass beat by Hanayama
My theory is that Katou is gonna run over Baki with a car

>>282178477
Baki:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtAzPCcFpn0&t=124s

>>282177710
Jack saw a "premonition."

>>282161885
>>282161919
Bro Itagaki doens't know what to draw anymore.

>>282161585
Ok this “win” is kinda unconvincing, and frankly make Jack look like a fucking pussy compare to his old self who would goes ham until he win

>>282178890
if you're surprised by this you must be new to baki he does shit like this all the time

Musashi still reign supreme by virtue of making Hanayama sit down and just surrender, Jack can’t do that

>>282173595
Lel

>>282178936
Musashi couldn't even beat Hanayama so hard he didn't even have time to show off his back tattoo. Or beat Pickle so hard he couldn't even go his strongest form

>>282167044
Yeah, it's going to be a Yujiro walks around doing nothing type chapter to prove that Baki is truly on his level, even if Katou doubted it in this chapter.

>>282161585
this is jack learning that fighting is culture, and there's more to victory than just doing whatever it takes to win.

>>282178894
Filtered

Is wild fag still the only "tl" available for the third series?

>>282161370 (OP)
>Basically a draw
Meh. The way Hanayama completely fucking destroyed all of Jack's uppity beliefs was the memorable part.

>>282179372
Jack won keep coping

>>282179387
If he had won, he would've said so. Even if you twist yourself into a pretzel about it enough to fit some other character's definition of a win, this was at best the equivalent of laming out a draw in a fighting game. I'd like to know Jack & Hanayama's thoughts on the matter, but if the point was to show who was stronger or for Jacko to prove the effectiveness of Goudou as a martial art, then he got completely showed off by a street brawler. If anything, this should be the point where Jack realizes his style is far from completed

>>282179372
>fucking destroyed all of Jack's uppity beliefs
Did we read the same fight?
Maybe he'll feel like shit over it because of how the crowd was pretty heavily in Hanayama's corner and he very much craves attention and admiration right now even if he won't admit it, but screaming and crying in pain doesn't really destroy his beliefs. He had a very similar moment when Shinogi bit his ear after their fight. The realization Jack is coming to is that while you CAN win while crying, pissing, and lying on the floor, he doesn't really WANT to do that.
I don't see how you can say Hanayama destroyed his beliefs. He just did the same thing he did against Sukune for the most part, and he fucking loved winning that fight. The problem here is that he doesn't seem as happy about things this time, and it likely has everything to do with the pomp and circumstance surrounding their fight more so than the outcome itself.
Jack became full of himself, didn't give Hanayama his due, and didn't fight smart like he did against Sukune or Pickle. He just ate Hanayama's blows and grabbed onto him without expecting retaliation. He's gotten increasingly cocksure and showy with each win, but having this much trouble with Hanayama ought to be a wake-up call to him.

>>282179516
I'm not reading all that cope

>>282179752
No, anon. It's more so the fact that none of his biting worked, none of his striking did either, an in general Hanayama had an answer for everything he had except for the neck bite. You're right in that he doesn't mind getting clowned on as long as he wins, but from a technical standpoint his system was exposed.

>>282179841
>>No, anon. It's more so the fact that none of his biting worked, none of his striking did either, an in general Hanayama had an answer for everything he had except for the neck bite

Should mention that Hanayama rarely shows big reactions in his fights, Jack could have been doing real damage to him and we wouldn't immediately know because Hanayama has one or two consistent facial expressions and they aren't about being concerned or worried about what's happening in front of him

Jack Won, two simple words.
Any other opinion is a cope.

>>282178477
It's just another chapter to make us remember that Baki is still in this manga. Kato will be embarrassed by Baki like the good old days.

>>282167784
He could have jsut used a knife to cut the artery. More range, better results.

>>282162193
Baki can effortlessly shut down goudou, just like yujiro

>Kato actually goes “He is just a kid” on Baki
Jesus we are actually 10 years too late for this sort of mentality in the story

>>282161726
I wonder what the point of bringing back Hanada is. He's a good fighter, but I don't think he'd be a real challenge for Jack. So what is he going to do in this arc?

>>282180404
Rahen feels like Itagaki suddenly remembered that a bunch of the OG characters exist, you have Kosho getting a fight and Hanada appearing at all

>>282166136
Baki is eventually going to have a fight with Jack. We're seeing Jack's growth for the eventual showdown, but need to look at how Baki is doing as well.

>>282180404
Hey, it's only been like a year or so in-world. Katou has personally seen Baki fight like 5 times, and at vastly different points in his development.

>>282167087
If your Carotid Artery or Internal Jugular Vein are bitten open, you’re fucked. Doesn’t matter how much pain endurance you have, your body needs blood to work. When Mister Yakuza was pummeling Mister Steroid, blood was squirting in every panel.

>>282173705
He does the world's strongest man's training routine.

>>282165073
>>282165109

>>282180446
I don't want Baki vs Jack again. God I wish Pickle or Yujiro is the final boss for Jack but for some reason he immediately gave us those fights without proper setup.

>>282161919
It's been so long Baki is gonna see him as a woman and rape him

>>282180701
I need to get me some Baki pants.

>>282161919
Katou beat Gaia at the start of Rahen, he has more wins than Baki does in this arc

>>282161648
>Let him cook

>>282164559
He's too kind

>>282161615
>>282161648
would Jack let himself get arrested if they tried it?

>>282180919
They'd be unable to find handcuffs big enough for him so they'd have to hold his hand with fingers interlocked like the police do in india

>>282161491
>Jackcoin moons overnight
That anon was right, I should have HODLed...

>>282180872
the coping continues

>>282178894
Man I sure wonder if this is somehow relevant to the fact that they talked about how Jack only cares for victory at all costs and doesn't mind the humiliation for multiple chapters leading up to this fight.

>>282161919
Can't wait to see the reaction of the Shinshinkai when they learn they have to go after Baki because Kato was being an idiot again.

>>282181061
Yes, but does he REALLY not mind? Recall the epilogue of the Kosho fight.

Goudou is lame, Jack focuses too much on biting now instead of just using it sparsely like before
I was hoping Yujiro not renewing his agreement with the US would lead to an actual arc where the US tries to take Yujiro down to be honest

>>282171527
>Jack doesn't care about looking cool so long as he wins
Except for the times he bathes himself in the peanut gallery's awes and praises when he does. Waiting for the time this will be pointed out directly and for Jack to be called out for it, it'll be fun.

>>282181195
What I don't like is Jack's ridiculous size. It was fine when he fought Sukune because he was shorter. But now? It's ridiculous seeing 8 foot Jack biting a 6'5 Hanayama and winning by blood loss. Like isn't his size and steroids already enough advantage for him?

>>282161726
Man they both look awful in this style.

Didn't Katou already fight Baki?

>>282162331
One of Hanayama's most famous lines on /a/ is "turt" which was Yakuza for "That hurt"

>>282162056
Jack infused himself with extra blood before the fight like Akagi.

>>282163994
Katou will beat Baki and then move to Jack to fuck him up. He has no counter to the pipe cleaner move.

>>282163137
This was misinterpreted as an expression of pain, in reality he was trying really hard not to laugh.

>>282174777
They make up new criteria for deciding who "won" or lost a fight all the time, it's utterly meaningless. Jack is in the exact same situation he ended up in against Sukune, which was declared his win.

>>282164375
Motobe just went "I'll fookin stab you"and then booked it like he was a kicking sumo wrestler. What makes you think Baki wouldn't pull some adrenaline bullshit out of his ass the moment he felt a sword touch him or whatever Ita felt like that week?

>>282181555
That part was kino

>>282181169
That is a question that will surely be answered at some point in this arc. But for now, Jack has met the criteria of success he's set for himself.

>>282167283

My FUARKING HERO is yawning midway through a fight???

He truly is....... STRONG...


In all seriousness i think the point of the Hanayama fight is that Hanayama is in it for the fun of it, while Jack hates every single second(also hinted at by the wasp scene earlier.)
That's why it's such a prevalent opinion that it was Hanayama who won. He came out of this scuffle looking far better than Jack, because Jack does not give a fuck. Fighting is just means to an end for him. If millitary strenght got you truly "strong" in the bakiverse he'd pursue that instead. His autism is locked onto goal completion, not the fighting. He'd show his asshole and fling shit around precisely because fighting is just a chore to him. Whatever gets him to victory works.

During the Hanayama fight he "saw" something. It was either the realization that he doesn't care and that'll end the Jack arc, with him just quitting seeing that he has no true passion for it, or, his gaining of passion due to just how spectacular Hanayama was. Wouldn't make sense narratively if he quit so i assume he just got power-up from beginning to "love" fighting.

>>282175171
Even "He" couldn't go that far...........

>>282173056
It's incredibly funny to me that Jack is a devout Christian on the down low.

Has Kato EVER won a fight against anyone who wasn't an irrelevant jobbber?

>>282182647
He is about to

>>282182554
Truth nuke.

>>282182554
Jack now is similar to Baki at the start.
He is slowly moving to Baki during SoO.

>>282182647
He beat Dorian in his imagination.

>>282181195
>Jack focuses too much on biting now instead of just using it sparsely like before
You need to go back and reread the Maximum Tournament

>>282180534
we just saw it happen irl, shit happens quick

why didn't hanayama just grip his neck and crush the artery closed?

>>282182812
That would be a technique.

>>282182863
He's not Julius, he can rely on those. It's training that's his no-go

>>282174877
>>I got knocked down
By this logic Hanayama lost three chapters ago.

>>282179841
>none of his biting worked
>Hanayama had an answer for everything he had except for the neck bite

>>282161585
>I got knocked down...
I think that Jack is saying he has been humbled even though he won. He claimed he wouldn't bite and was being cocky while looking down on Hanayama for not learning techniques, but now knows better.

>>282161919
Wasn't this series about Jack? Why the fuck are we wasting time on SHITki?

>>282161919
>fight
You mean one sided ass kicking. Best he can do is ride his petty wheelchair over to daddy doppo and beg him to send the entire dojo after Baki.

>>282166485
Imagine if all of them got their runback like this ending with Sukune ripping his jaw off.

>>282182912
Wasn't his whole deal that he never falls on his ass? Not much of a standing man here.

>>282182554
Jack ended the fight looking like an absolute bitch.
Hanayama ended the fight reenacting the standing man.

>>282161919
Bro is really out of his depth here. This is like kid Baki trying to fight current Yujiro.

I like to think Jack got inspired by Musashi vs Pickle and realize just waiting for opponent to bleed out work really well

>>282181498
Did he?

>>282161585
This was absolute bullshit.
Jack should have won without much effort

>>282183375
Mushashi wasn't waiting for him to bleed out. He was butchering the shit out of pickle to the point he had to run for his life into the embrace of the great protector himself.

>>282161849
This dude wouldn’t even be able to beat Motobe with just his jacket, what the fuck is he doing?

>>282183379
No, I confused him with Koshou in my mind. Gomen.

>>282183407
Pickle pulled that move too against Katsumi, except Katsumi blew his whole arm off

>>282161919
I vividly remember his retarded ass barely able to get up from his wheelchair to scream at Dorian after doppo carried his ass. I hope he gets the most humiliating ass beating in the manga. This better be memorable.

>>282161491
always bet on jack

>>282182773
It wasn't that bad in the maximum tournament, or up until this fight.
This arc is going to be the musashi arc if they never gave him the imaginary sword nerf. Basically if you fuck up once you're pretty much done.

I am liking this arc so far simply because we get to see things from the POV of an average fighter in Baki world, looking up to the titans

>hanayama literally exits on a stretcher while jack walks out like chad
>b-but hanayama still won because (insert inane cope)
hanayama fags will never recover from this DEFEAT

Has Kato ever fought Baki?
He's wanted to fight Baki since his debut but I don't recall the two of them ever fighting

I'm getting Motobe flashbacks.
Are you saying Kato is about to fight Baki Hanma? "That" Kato?

>>282178477
Actually I hope Kato will put up a decent fight, or at least get a sucker punch in or something before baki stomps him. Baki hasn't significantly been challenged since Musashi so it would be a nice way to get him really involved.

>>282183661
I think in the anime they very briefly fought after the time skip before we first saw Tokugawa. Could be mixing characters.

As far as I can remember Katou only ever beat Giant Baba.

>>282183846
I thought he was feeding jack's pills to the fish for a second.

>>282183379
I don't even remember who he jobbed to.

I'm really getting bored of this Jack arc. When are we moving on to something else?

I am hyped for the fight for the off chance Itagaki actually had Katou pulled off some insane feat out of nowhere and actually give Baki a fight
He already did it with Motobe

>>282183809
He was a retired wrestler with a bad knee. What was he even doing there?

>>282184021
Itagaki was really into puroresu at the time. Like half of the guys were wrestlers.

>>282184004
>he pulls out the pipe cleaner again and cuts off his nose

>>282175134
there's been like 6 different american presidents in that time...

>>282181388
Jack didn't grow since Sukune and Hanayama is 6'3

Katou defeated Dorian so he isn't that weak idk where all the slander comes from.
>But he was in da wheelchair.
Baki won against The Ogre with just his fighting spirit. Katou's victory against Dorian is no different. Either Baki is no stronger than Yujiro, or Katou is stronger than Dorian.

>>282184354
Baki isn't stronger than Yujiro though, everyone knows that

>>282184373
Mushashi said he was, same as Doppo, Pickle, Yujiro himself, even Kato and Hanada.

>>282184354
>Either Baki is no stronger than Yujiro, or Katou is stronger than Dorian.
that's easy, the first option

>>282184393
Baki has the Demon Brain and just doesn't know how to use it yet. Muscle and stature won't make a difference when Baki starts auto dodging and going for criticals on blindspots. Problem is that I think Dragon Ball ruined Itagaki's plans for Demon Brain thanks to Ultra Instinct. Maybe he can save it by making Demon Brain extremely strategic and tactical too.

>>282184354
>Katou defeated Dorian
Anon fell for Dorian's hypnosis.

>>282184457
No i'm talking about after when he was all beat up but MOGGED him into submission with his fighting spirit alone.

How good or bad is the baki anime? Worth watching or nah? I read baki ages back and don't remember anything so I'm thinking of giving it a shot

>>282184354
>Katou [ILLUSION]

>>282184393
None of these are reliable narrators. For fucks shake Doppo though Ali Jr would beat Baki

>>282183809
What? Katou never beat Toba.

>>282184354
>Katou defeated Dorian
He got out of a chair and gave him a spook. Dorian had not even registered defeat until AFTER that.

>>282173705
>What does Baki do in his daily life?
He's being strong

>>282184579
It's alright. The netflix stuff is better but still not as good as the manga, just a better translation.

>>282184579
Netflix one is barely animated, the majority of fights is panning shots and whoosh effects. I has some great voices at least.

>>282184457
Kek

>>282184835
>>282184898
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

>>282184835
Just make sure not to get the dubtitles.

>>282184240
to be fair japan has had about that many PM changes in that time

Baki vs Chiharu was fucking amazing, so I'm actually looking forward to Katou's shenanigans.

>>282185084
Katou is just some bum who brags about fighting dirty. He's nothing like Chiharu in any way shape or form.

>>282185303
He is an arrogant and stubborn retard who will keep trying again and again, the tenacity is similar.

>>282185084
I hope Baki doesn't hold back just to rattle Kato's ass.

>>282185326
Chiharu fought with multiple major broken bones and then broke some more just for the lulz, Katou folded after monke threw him around a bit.

Hanayamasisters... TICK. TOCK.

>>282185303
>>282185084
What Baki did in the Chiharu fight(s) was try his own spin on Chiharu's fighting style, ultimately breaking his fingers with his eyes.

How will Baki imitate and counter Kato?

>>282185460
>How will Baki imitate and counter Kato?
He'll suck so hard a black hole forms and completely obliterates Kato.

>>282185460
Beat him with a spoon.
Contrasting Jack who uses a weapon regarded as one for the weak, Baki will use a tool that's not even meant for fighting.

>>282185460
>Katou uses his fishing line trick
>Baki plunges his hand into the ground and pulls out the underground powerline then proceeds to cut him into pieces.

>>282185460
break his own limbs then eviscerate him from a wheelchair while unconscious

>>282185460
>Baki destroys Kato's balls with a kick
>immediately notices Kato is now less masculine, more... fuckable
>flashforward to Katou 16 years later

>>282161919
Imagine the smell

>>282185460
Kato repeatedly fails to find an opening and is eventually KOd by an imaginary strike from Baki, who remains oblivious. Bonus points if Kato imagines a demon, like Atlas did.

>>282185428
The Strong…

>>282161919
More like the scent of a jobber wafts in from behind. This is a housecat about to pick a fight with a grizzly bear.

>>282182606
He was raised like a good christian boy by his canadian mom.

>>282185428
I actually want to see spec come back. I really liked that lunatic.

Could Jack defeat even Hanada at this point?

>>282186870
I dont know... Hanada even beat Hanayama

>>282161370 (OP)
are they ever going to explain that tattoo on the one guys back?

>>282187067
I think he like sat down at a tattoo parlor and got it because he thought it was cool

>>282163045
rape the artery

>>282187067
I like how you dipshits made this joke nonstop for months and then they didn't even show, much less talk about, the tattoo. Tattooposters are the real losers this time.

>>282162068
kek summon Toriyama back from the dead so he can write this comedy

>>282162068
more like
>I'm going to fuck his wife, that'll show him

>>282184453
Could Jack get a Demon Brain? Maybe he already has one?

Yujiro can see inside people, like where they are weak and have cancer, etc. Jack could see the veins in the dog. I wonder if that's a Demon Brain ability.

>>282183334
He's standing horizontally.
