| Liked the show from the very beginning. It was really awesome. Can't believe that this is it and this is the end. Would be lying if I said I won't be missing this. To be more honest I will miss this very much. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end. But they should extend the story a little more showing what happened after the fight in Baki's life, anyways it was heart touching. [Ps: if you're really wondering what happened after the father-son fighting arc then read "Baki-Dou". It shows after the fighting arc, was written in 2014-2018. I don't think it will be animated so do give that a read.] |

| From the views I've seen on YouTube I believe the show to be pretty popular. I wouldn't be surprised if they did Baki Dou because the whole thing could be done in a 24-26 episode season. |

Balthier14 said: Yeah, but beating Yujiro is Baki's ultimate goal. All the season have been building up to that. Once that happens, there's really not much else to tell.normal shonen: the bad guy destroy the protagonist, the protagonist training 2 weeks, they fight again and the protagonist wins. baki: the bad guy destroy the protagonist, the protagonist training 5 years, they fight again, and the bad guy fuck him again lol |
| after crazy fight for hours Yujiro: wanna eat air? Baki: sure, thanks dad finished binge 13 episodes in one go, great adaptation 9/10 one of the best fight this year, i read the manga back in 2018 and now finally witness this goat fight in animation can't wait for musashi arc in animation, hope it come out next year or maybe 2025 |
 |
| it was a good season overall with a great ending fight the thing that disappoints me is the animation once you compare the anime to the manga you see the difference im not saying the anime needs to be spot on i just would have liked a little more detail but it was still worth the watch. |
 |
| As ridiculous as this is, it's still really goddamn entertaining. Eating air wtf lol 8 |

CritiasBG said: All this project animation was to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the manga, and when all that started, Baki-Dou was in the middle of his serialization. I doubt that they had in mind to adapt until that point (i mean Baki-Dou), they probably wanted to adapt the original story, which covers the resolution of the primary history of the franchise (i mean, the fight between father an son)OP_Rider said: Why do you think that it won't be animated?

| I've been waiting for this fight as an anime only Baki fan since Baki the Grappler started airing on the Funimation channel in the early-mid 2000's. The fight itself was sensational imo. The conclusion threw me for a loop. In one fight they added a ton of depth to both Baki and Yujiro as characters. Unexpected ending, unconventional ending, but like after I let it sit and thought about it for a day I can say I'm actually rather happy with what we got. The Pickle arc's ending was trying to teach us that there are bigger victories in a fight than who is left standing. Baki humanized Yujiro, he imposed his will on the man that had never known submission to anything, he made a father out of Yujiro in one night so to speak and that's partly what beats him. Even though Baki doesn't literally/physically defeat Yujiro, I understood why Yujiro admitted defeat at the end. The whole thing was extremely touching. Not perfect as it had that Itagaki "if I do/say confusing enough s*** maybe the audience won't be able to tell I'm bs'ing" but ultimately got the message. And if it's any consolation to anyone that wanted a more literal defeat of Yujiro just acknowledge that Baki is 18 years old and is on the same tier as his father Yujiro Hanma where they fight each other on a leveled playing field and hit each other full force. He made The King bleed. He knocked the Ogre down multiple times. In 4 measly years Baki went from a peon that would never stand a chance against Yujiro to now being able to actually do all that to him in a fight plus take all the punishment he did and still get up and keep going. Moreover, at the end Baki didn't even stay knocked down for more than a few moments. That might not have even been a 10 count before he got up to do the imaginary dinner with dad. All this. at 18. In 4 years. How strong will Baki be in another 4 years? On top of winning in the ways that he did, even on the actual literal/physical level there's a lot to be said for him and I think Yujiro recognized all of that before he concedes to Baki. |
Cl0wnHAHA said: This is Baki. People have recovered from worse. These characters' bodies border on superhuman at times. Plus there's Kureha who's like literally a miracle doctor who does the impossible. I doubt Baki is perma damaged moving forward. Historically, I'd say he'll probably rub some Neosporin on it and keep it moving.am i the only one whos going to say it? the ending was super rushed, baki forever loses the ability to hear, and because of that, it also impairs his ability to fight permanently. any chance for season 3 is eliminated cause of the dummy who wrote the manga, cause there will be no dialogue. we can only hope for one of those legacy type continuation, like jojo |
| does the victory of Retsu vs the champ happen of screen? im not sure if i somehow missed it since ive been kinda busy, but i feel like im missing a complete Retsu fight lmao does it happen off-screen in the manga too? |

| Way more entertaining than Ippo |

| That was beautiful. I wonder if there will be another season :O |
| don't tell me this is the end i want five more season of this shit |
| baki is baki I guess. It ends with insane nonsensical shit, I guess the Baki Yujiro fight was okay, but defo didn't live up to the years of hype either. I wonder where the manga goes from here since I know it's ongoing. I wasn't really a fan of Pickle either after all that hype, and the Retsu boxing b plot sucked too. So overall actually one of the weakest Baki seasons imo, which is hilarious as its the one with the long awaited Yujiro fight. still enjoyable, just generally a bit disappointing |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| I am still confused as to why Retsu became a boxer and whatever happened to the five prisoners...? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

| @Confucius (@JVskunkape also wanted to know in his previous ep comments) Well this is just the ground work for Retsu's own spin off manga I think,this one. They wanted to make Retsu a MC but doing so it will collide with Baki so they moved Retsu to a platform where Baki won't go. So they isekaied him as well. This is the best explanation to it considering how weird Baki universe is! |

| @Cl0wnHAHA to your concern, don't worry even a little. Baki is 100% fine and kicking. Perhaps he is even More stronger now. Just read Baki-dou. And about the continuation like jojo, I don't think Baki's going to have a kid anytime soon. (Though I don't know about the current release) |

| @demonaman293 that I know, I just didn't fully started reading it yet. |

| It was great again. Lots of great moments. (The urban legend thing was fun - when people connected intos and "knew" it was that guys they read legends about lol.) In the end though I think I'd have liked a bit more variety. The main fight was a bit tooo long. And while initially I did not like the part with the boxing ... I'd have loved to see at least a bit from the other fight where they only showed (at least they did not forget about it totally) the press conference. Stil an 8/10 - same as all the other seasons for me. Now moving to Kengan Ashura. Luckly I could finish Baki in time. |

| @Confucius Retsu was salty from losing too much and went to EZ league to beat some nerds and show 5k years kung fu superiority |
| another amazing season of baki hopefully we get a season new season soon |
 |
| A tofu soup to celebrate the end of the season!!! 7/10 kekeke |
| Now that was a fight to witness. It was dumb, it was fun, was intense, it was entertaining. And also, Retsu nonchalantly won the title. We need more!!! |
| Who would've thought that Yuujiro's weak point would be clownery. Baki outclowned him in his own pantomime lol. The final handshake was awesome.  |
 |
| What a climax between Yujiro and Baki! Our boy lived enough to become the strongest! Such a fun watch! Can't wait for the next Baki season <3 |
| Finishing with a fake dinner, that was perfect lmao, Baki is the strongest man on earth and Yujiro won the fight, I think the real goal would be to be as strong as the grandfather, who is the strongest man ever, probably that he would have destroyed Pickle with one finger xD I caught up with Baki since Baki the grappler 1st season, sad I'm already up to date :( I really hope for another season |
