So being a fan of these two series I always wanted to see what would happen if some of these fighters would cross paths. Before I give my review on each of the fights let me give some positives. I watched the baki anime and read the manga while kengan ashura I only read the manga haven't planned on watching the anime yet.
Animation 8/10 shocking it was very consistent surprised how well done it was. You maybe be shocked that I rate the animation is so high I watch the anime for baki the first season of netflix anime CGI oh boy. Later
...
on in the anime animation is stiff time to time so seeing it being so smooth makes me really like it. Which leads to my next point
No bluffs 8/10 What do I mean well there was no overly excessive flashback of each character and moves. Baki is worst offender when a fight happens, they go over 5 mins of how that move is possible while giving a "real life" event that took place in 1840.
Now for the fights before I begin obviously there will be SPOILERS
hanayama vs sai ping 7.5-8/10 I really enjoyed the fight seeing sai ping strong bones going up against hanayama strength. I do love that hanayama uses his grip strength to destroy saiping arm ah soo cool. Bro and saiping uses his skull go against hanayama fists even breaking it. Hanayama being a chad let me just fix it like it was nothing. After a volley of saiping headbutts hanayama wins.
Now on too jack vs rainan 8.5/10 one of the most highly request fight from both fandoms from what I could tell. Holy shit the savagery of both fighter's damn son epic. Both rainan and jack fighting against each other being animalistic is cool to see. Seeing jack getting up and saying naw I win didn't care for the match kill to be killed. For rainan to win was kinda obvious knowing that there will be a win for baki and a win for kengan and the final fight seeing who will win. Instead, pickle comes in why though why the studio can't be brave enough and have a winner why make it a tie. I would be happy for one of the fighters to win. If you're going to bring pickle, why don't you use him for something epic like olivia and julius someone else fight pickle. Idk I just feel the ending being disappointing. Felt really random to include pickle seem like the studio said okay you can't have a clear winner.
Which brings be to the final fight baki vs ohma 8.5/10 it would have been a 9 but the ending which I kind of get. Knowing the main characters of each series were facing off it would be obvious that it would be a tie. Personally, what I saw in the manga baki would demolish kersuogi and ohma but cmon have a winner or extend the fight more. Two epic characters are clashing, and you end it in a tie. Beside that I loved how baki used more moves on ohma it was really cool to see him use a mach punch on ohma shocked me. Ohma using niko moves which make baki have to think instead of oh let me just punch head on. I wished ohma saw baki freaking dinosaur image would have been funny to see. Really not much to expand the fight was clean. Love how ohma got so much gas facing off against baki.
Ik yujiro showing up would be bait for a second movie it was so clear fromt the start. Suprised that the 5 inmates were teased like naw mate show them we need to see that asap. I would love to give it a 9/10 the fanboy in me would do that but sadly how the 2 fights ended gotta give it a 8/10. If your a fan of both series you will for sure would love this. You might rate it lower but yeah that's my review.
