even though they said he would fight his own dad ;/,

and baki's fights were the most boring ones, S1 was great with baki, but S2 was just baki being the main character and make him think, and then the most tension was with who would proceed and who would fight baki every time.

Well that was a let down. I was hoping for the final fight between Baki and Yujiro. Instead we got this. :/ How disappointing.

What the hell ? Bs ending. I was expecting Baki for one final showdown rather than this. Sigh. While I generally enjoyed a lot of the action and story development, this finale ruined (-2) for me. 6/10.

This should had been episode 23 and episode 24 episode 23.
I know people are disappointed but most anime finish before there manga so I can't say the episode was bad.
9/10 for the anime in the whole because it's a 100% fight anime and fights was amazing.

Lmao,Yujiro is just too op.

Well,it was alright overall,gotta say that Yujiros story was more interesting than most of the fights,tho and I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't get a fight between father and son.

Average anime overall. I gave S1 a 5 and I liked it a bit more,so this is going to be a 4 on my list.

Aww I want to see Yujiro vs. Oliver :(

Tbh this anime is weird
Some characters are introduced like "This guy is going to be Baki's rival.. He keep challenging Baki and swore to defeat him"
Then Baki's power just flew past away beyond human capabilities

Fuck this show, for give us the backstory we didn't care about. I get it Yujiro defeated the US alone, but what does that got to do with the epilogue of this series. On top of that, they introduced another man beast Oliver the unchained, whom we never got to see go toe to toe with the big man. This was blasphemy, punishable by hell fire, because they enticed us and then toss us aside. Fuck!

Overall this was a disappointment compared to the previous season. Baki sucked for me, he didn't even deserve to be champion. I have to agree, his matches sucked than everyone else's, they didn't contain "I want cheer him on", they were all bland shits with no substance or passion behind them. My favorite was Goki, I felt like he was one lit jiji. Don't get me started on the opening song we had to use for the entire season, it was below bland and eye raping with that intensely cheap CGI. You needed holy water to get through all the errors in the technicalities of the show, if I don't enjoy it I Would've soaked it with a 4. But since I liked the theme and some matches I'll go with:

7/10.

Just a backstory of Yujiro beating America's army nothing major...

So there is another dangerous man named Oliver the Unchained, hopefully this time he is actually comparable to Yujiro unlike Gaia

End of the original baki series, pretty enjoyable, had some crazy fights, onto the new season!

I guess this was just a setup for the next arc. Unchained is probably gonna be the next major opponent for Baki to set his sights on.

Just another random Yujiro episode. It was alright.But Yujiro being OP all the time, is making him less impressive.
Because I've heared on the previous discussion that episode 23 was the "official" last episode, I alreeady spoke my mind over there.

I am gonna watch season 3, because that one was actually good. It was the first of Baki I've watched till episode 10, then I decided to go watch season 1 & 2 first. I gave season 1 a 6/10. It was enjoyable.

This is a 4/10 for me. Just bad.

Yujiro really reminds me of Hisoka (Hunter x Hunter) and Kenpachi (Bleach), all of them are just fighting freaks that get off to strong opponents - insofar as to intentionally avoid fighting certain individuals in order to wait for them to become "ripple." This whole backstory is incredibly unrealistic in Baki standards though, since as you know, Yujiro was easily contained by Tokugawa and his men - you just have to do it right, USA didn't do it right and that's what makes it unrealistic - who is more astute: USA or some group of underground ruffians? Nevertheless, I enjoy Yujiro stories way more than Baki's and hence had fun with this episode.

This season gets a 6.5/10 (rounding up to a 7) - close to a proper 7, but the ending ruined it for me (Baki suddenly copying techniques that took other fighters years and years of practice and in-depth understanding of certain martial-arts & Jack losing to Baki).

I like how this sets up what could come up next. Olive radiates beast energy, he was unfazed by that kick.

Kinda weird to end it with more of Yujiro's backstory of him against the United States and its army xD Anyway I'm curious about this Unchained guy, would be frustrated if there weren't so many long seasons after that!
