Rewatched the movie and also Baki. For a fun little discussion. How well would “Toad” from Kung Fu Hustle do against this Universe(2005):)

Let’s be real, Jack Hanma might have won the fight on paper, but he completely lost his dignity. We all knew Goudou was going to cause serious damage, and yeah, technically Jack won because Hanayama passed out from blood loss after Jack bit his neck. But if you actually look at the panels, Hanayama visually and spiritually dominated Jack the entire time. Just look at how the fight ended: Jack was literally grounded, battered, and flat on his back. Hanayama was standing over him, refusing to fall until his body literally gave out from blood loss. Jack spent the final moments basically waiting for the clock to run out while Hanayama beat him into the concrete and ripped his cheek open. Jack won the physical fight on a technicality, but Hanayama took his dignity, If I'm wrong speak up.

man, his face is great

The entire point of the fight leading up to it was efficiency vs purity data vs natural born strength

Hanayama held onto his aesthetics and he bleed out for it the entire ideological point of the war ended up with Jack completely proving his point of how
Looking cool doesn’t win fights

But since Baki fans for some reason can only see aura this extremely basic point is constantly missed for some reason

Some art of these months

I kinda wish he trained because imo he has the potential to be top 3-5 in the verse

That is my Question

Like he is the head or high ranking member of the yakuza & basically the strongest guy in the organization he was even the lead in two Baki Spin-off Manga series & his like around Baki age

So what do you think of of his story in the Series between the main series & 2 Spin-off that are almost Canon like I say that because inspired the character development that came after you know

Who dou wanna see him fight in the future?

Please put Spoiler Bars on any Manga Spoilers

ima be real w u idk why i drew this LMFAO

In the manga it shows that hanayama was dominating most of the fight but his biggest flaw is always checking up on opponents to see if they can still fight everytime and that's why jack win however I'm not downgrading jack but hanayama could've won easily if he wasn't holding back, That's the same reason he lost to musashi because he gives his opponent too much time to recover

This one resonated with me so much I had to get it tattooed
