Baki

pickle appears in the baki v yujiro fight but he's mostly a spectator.

There is no shame in losing to Memetobe, the man has access to powers that are beyond human comprehension, only a true Rikishi can compare.

If that's the case how come he's not in sumo dou?

>A man gets thrown into a foreign world who knows how many years in the future
>The people there can't stop harassing him and bullying him
What did good boy Pickle do to deserve this?

Because Sumo is Memetobe's kryptonite.

losing to motobe in a close fight would be ok but jack got systematical destroyed and neutralized that it's not even funny/down right pitiful.

Jack still seems to be stronger than everyone else in Baki's core group, people here over-exagerrate how much Itagaki apparently hates him. His only 'embarassing' loss is against Motobe but Motobe memed on every character he interacted with in Dou. It's more that Baki's strength (and Yujiro's) spiralled out of control after a while, the rest of the cast fell behind

You wanna talk about someone Itagaki treats weirdly, it's Katsumi. He never wins anything, but all the characters swear that he's ridiculously strong.

Isn't he just chilling in the sewers nowadays?

some samurai flushed him out of the sewers and beat the crap out of him.

also when he lost to pickle (twice, with the second time being paraded like a trophy kill), it was a call back on the max tournament where yujiro berated him for losing twice in the same day (to him and baki) so that counts as a heartbreaking loss.

>Lost to pickle
>Only person to make Pickle shit his pants and run away like a bitch outside of Musashi

I've watched the Baki anime, all the seasons but have never read the manga. Gonna start today, is it true there are 4 runs?

Motobe went in with batman preparation so outside of Jack reverting to his retarded biting habit for the sake of the fight it makes sense.

he got beat into a coma then paraded like ann darrow a couple of hours later. does that sound like winning to you?

t. Retard

>Jack hasn’t learnt to LARP as a wasp consciously yet

go ahead and post jack vs jr to make yourself feel better.

>is it true there are 4 runs?
There's the original series, Grappler Baki. The old anime from a couple decades ago adapts this. Also this part of the manga currently isn't fully scanned yet.
Then there's New Grappler Baki, which the Netflix anime is adapting.
After that it's Baki: Son of Ogre.
Then Baki-Dou
and then Baki-Dou 2

Jack hasn't bothered with either imagination bullshit or getting a sex power-up

Pickle in general was a pretty luke warm arc. We have Yujiro walk into the room flip his ass on the ground and walk out uninterested realizing Yujiro could probably damage him and has the smarts of a modern man. Then all the fights after wards are just people doing OP shit but on Pickle who is has barely any effect on and praising Pickles dumb ass for being so stronk.

Baki vs Pickle was also stupid because Baki found a way to beat Pickle and then said fuck it i wanna win with raw strength and lost like everyone else because of it. Based Musashi making his unga bunga machine cry in a corner.

Jack gets shit on because of the outside upgrades. Japs always make the character who uses shortcuts no matter how painful to get a loser because organic growth through fee fees is the best. In Bakis case i agree with it though. Fuck Jack and constant bone surgeries and other shit. Getting his teeth smashed apart then just showing up with new pearly whites every other second. He needs to get cut off from the credit card that old fuck affords to all these retards.

Why does Baki have zero stakes, I never feel invested whatsoever.

>Upon living in the sewers and being allowed to essentially roam modern Tokyo we don't see a rise in reported rapes

I guess hes every womans fantasy.

The stakes are winning/losing. If you don't understand the gravity of matches in Baki then you probably just have too much nu-male blood to understand why it sucks to pour your life/effort into something then be beaten at it. Its the story of warriors and their craft. I don't know what else to tell you honestly if you don't get it then you just have no manhood.

Nah I think it just has shit writing

I'm pretty sure Kureha's just experimenting on him at this point

>Fuck Jack
well, fuck you too. Not that Baki doesn't get some ghost bullshit free "get stronger" card every few chapters, while he doesn't even train that hard anymore. Last time he pushed himself was dabbing on Shiba with his eyes.

Baki's fights themselves never feel like they have any stakes but the rest of the fights do imo

(checked)
I think outside a few instances, Baki generally has the weaker fights in the series. Especially in a situation where multiple people fight the same person so it's easier to compare. But even during the convicts arc or the Kaioh tournament Baki was the snooze-fest and everyone else was so much more interesting.

bro what? baki vs pickle is one of the best fights in the series
