| This was a tournament season, because of that Baki didn't get any change for improving his fighting skills; he was a show boy throughout the entire season. So, he wasn't ready to fight his daddy even at the end of the season. I think, that's because they didn't made him fight with Yuujiro. It would have been silly, if Baki fought with Yuujiro and won. Therefore, it was the best of the worst option to not make him fight with Yuujiro. |
| Like I said in 2010 MANGA TIME, The manga Has all the answers, The fights are actually way better and much more intense after the anime adaption. This is my fourth Time Rewatching this~ |

| The fight ended quite nice. Jack lost in an instant to Yujiro though. |
 |
| Baki finally has the Demon back huh? Good on him |
 |
| Jack lost again. The backlash from his steroid abuse was pretty nasty. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| When you train 30 hours a day :P |
| No one died, the end :P Jack is in coma but his mom is still alive I guess he's luckier than Baki in a way |

| Nice to see all (or most) of the major chars still alive. Even Jack and his mother seem to be alive. According to AniDB this was the last regular episode and next one (MAL uses as 24th) was a special releases about half a year later. My favorite chars were Doppo, Yujiro and the old master guy. Also Shinogi Kureha (but weird clothes ... he looked like a american football player lol). As I usually don't like main chars mthat much - same for here with Baki - I enjoyed this season a bit more than the previous one. Doppo is my overall favorite for both seasons. Yujiro had some really badass scenes this season. I doubt we'll see the old guy again. But hoping to see at least a bit more of Doppo and maybe Kureha as doctor in the future plot. If not ... there's still Yujiro who will appear surely. |
| This felt like the finale to me. Baki is champ again, and Jack got punched hard by Yujiro, making him lose twice in one night. The other contestants lived happily ever after. It swept up everything related to the tournament, which was the sole purpose of this season. I guess we've yet to see a proper showdown between Baki and Yujiro. |

| To think that this tournament all happened in one day. Glad that baki won but I don't think those demon muscles are a good sign I like how Baki and Jack act like siblings suddenly, jack giving him the prize was pretty wholesome for someone who fought like a beast. |
 |
| Ah so this is the last episode lol. Intense fight but Baki didn't even get to fight Yuujiro was this season. Overall, I enjoyed the first season more since Baki was furiously training and fighting solely to beat Yuujiro. In this season his fighting style seemed more sluggish and sometimes it felt like he was mainly fighting as champion rather than for the purpose of beating his father. |

| ..................... You know, I didn't knoww what to expect. But it certainly wasn't this. If I hadn't started by seeiing Season 3, than this would be the end of the series for me. Season 1 had some goofy moments, but only sometimes. The story was nice at least, as you got to know how crazy Baki's parents are. This season was 70% garbage. Mediocre and boring fights (for the most part), the animationstyle, the gritty facepunches, they were all of lower quality. That horrible, horrible intro song. The only "story developments" in this entire season are that Doppo (has a son and) has to close the dojo & Baki has a brother from another mother. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's it right? Not counting that he took his gf to the arena. She was just there to interrupt fights and to beg Baki "to please, stop fighting!". The nr. 1 thing that bothers me the most is Baki, standing in the arena at the end, going: "DUUUUURRR? ME WANNA FIGHT MORE!!" Really, Baki? You wanna fight some more? Aren't you forgetting something? Like, THE MAIN REASON, that season 2 happened? WHAT you were fighting for??!! No old debts that needed settling? I could swear that you had other motivations a few episodes back, but ... Nah, must have been mistaken. Oh yeah, don't forget to go piss on your mom's grave after you've had your little Champion's party! Apperently he did all that fighting just to w!n that shiny gold belt they showed 2 episodes ago. |

| @xeonite My criticisms are valid. It's your right to disagree, but don't go calling them asinine. That only shows how asinine you are. And as, I said, if I hadn't watched Season 3 first, then this would've been the last I've ever seen of Baki. The show is terribly written, Baki is plot-armoured to hell & back, it all happens over 24 hours (if I understand correctly), there is no character development ... Getting stronger, does not equal character development. The "shadow-boxing" was complete bullshit, more so than the endorfine-stuff from season 1. You can read my opinions on Baki Season 1, but the main things I thought were bullshit there were: 1) Endorfines 2) The fact he throws himself of a cliff to become stronger 3) The fight he wins by putting glass in his mouth This season? I couldn't even tell you anymore. There was just so much. Also characters get introduced at such a high pace (sometimes 2 new characters in one episode), you don't have any time to care about them. They're just random dudes with maybe 5 minutes of backstory. The lack of gritty facepunches, the worse style of animation... This season was so boring & forgettable, I don't even know half of the characters that appeared here.The only match that I still remember a bit is the one from the cord-cutting guy + that crazy punk-dude that kept smashing his broken arm on the arena barrier. Also, here you are telling me "that what I think about the show is subjective". Yes, I know. Why are you acting like I don't. I'd say you are the one, feeling personally attacked by my opinion ( and that genuinely makes ME laugh). Where do I "obliquely call my criticisms objective", as you say? And lastly, don't go tell me what I should watch & shouldn't watch. I want to watch bad anime shows as well, because I need a baseline of what a bad anime is. For me, Baki season 2 has been the worst I've seen so far. |

| Jack got destroyed by Yujiro, and even if Baki didnt beat his ass he would have lost the exact same way. Im guessing Baki is quitting being a grappler now? |
 |
| That was awesome. I really started to tear up for some reason. |
| Loved the way of the fight from Jack and Baki |
 |
| Jack can't compete when he doesn't fight with his real body, any kind of doping medication won't bring him to the top, and he lost against both Baki and Yujiro in a single day, pretty sad for him after all but you couldn't expect any other result. Really felt like the end but there's still one episode left for this season :) |
