Hanma Baki : Son of Ogre Review
Hanma Baki: Son of Ogre felt like a training arc for the protagonist of the series beginning with a prologue introducing a elementary school student to the ethics of Baki's shadow boxing technique and his training narration. The sectional prologue doesn't bring anything new apart from Baki establishing his dominance as a fragment of Mohammad Ali (EP1 18:31 his stance is that of Mohammad Ali's stance over Sonny Liston when fighting Iron Michael) and his rival Yujiro Hanma's dominance on a prehistoric sized elephant. Further throughout the season, we follow Baki Hanma gathering experience to fight against his rival

Baki: Son of Ogre
By now I have almost no idea what to put in my Baki reviews, thanks to the relatively thin content of the seasons. Although this one has probably been the best season of Baki so far, it possessed the same problems as any other. It's just another oversized training arc for Baki with no real buildup. Honestly, I found Olivia far more interesting than anything else that happened in this arc. The animations are again reasonably improved, but not enough to call them above average. Further, a big heavy problem is the slow pacing. This season could have easily been shortened by ... Oct 3, 2021
This season was bitch slap in face of the fans who waited for this much-awaited season. This season should've been about how Baki trains and prepare himself after Yuji sees him as a worthy opponent, but we got only episodes two, ten. eleven and twelve which really focused on Baki other than that it was just plot and story which didn't interest me. I feel insulted for waiting for this season and getting this shitshow instead. I hope they do a better job next season focusing on their main characters which are BAKI HAMMA and YUJIRO HAMMA, I was really disappointed in this season.
