The Artistic Evolution of Baki 

I honestly wouldn't be suprised

so what you are saying is you sometimes cant stop looking at big half naked muscular men?

I personally just absolutely love it.

Gotta master the rules before you break them.

​@@TheVeryAngryShrimpwise 😎

​@@TheVeryAngryShrimpliterally what I was about to say 😂

He 100% does that yea. You cant make anatomy look correct while hyper realizing it. He is too goated for us.

I should have mentioned that in the anatomy section. Even in the Death Row Convicts arc, some characters legs were 2.5 times longer then their torso.

Same latest maximum tournament and 5 death row inmates is peak baki art for me

This

more like if araki didn't went with the making men like a fashion show girls and stick with those hokuto no ken masculine aspects but drawn in more wireder way while eating drugs and has an IQ of Average jojo and DB fan Combined

What?

They really are one of a kind thats for sure

☠️☠️☠️

Yup. Its cartoony but grounded...at least as grounded as a demon back can be. But it does look good no matter how you look at it!

​@@LeoArmadaas grounded as a cave man and imagination powers. It's such stupid series but we love it for it

the og baki the grappler anime is also a style of their own

It picks up where the other ended because it's meant to be a direct continuation, right?

@@Malygosblues yeah but this guy made it sound like the Netflix series is the original

@@zeeker4114 - Yeah, I didn't really understand that part... There first manga series, *"Grappler Baki"* (42 volumes) has been adapted in 2 anime series back-to-back in 2001, each consisting of 24 episodes (basically the very young "kid thug Baki" saga, followed by the "Maximum Tournament" saga), and if you watch the Netflix adaptation of *"New Grappler Baki"* right after, and then the adaptation of "Son of Ogre", then you're not missing anything crucial. As a bonus, since the 2001 anime was being made when "New Grappler Baki" (31 volumes) was already being released, they added some stuff that wasn't in the manga, like Dorian Kaioh being in Restu's flashbacks, or Biscuit Oliva being in Yujiro's Vietnam flashback... There is also a 1994 OVA that is pretty good that covers the very beginning of "Grappler Baki", when our protagonist enters an Shinshinkai karate tournament as a white belt and beats Suedo, and then goes on to have a match in the underground arena against Shinogi Koushou. The events of that OVA are covered in the episodes 17&18 of the first 2001 "Grappler Baki" anime. _[With Shinogi Koushou being Jack's next opponent, that one is kinda relevant right at this moment]_ There are some differences between the manga and the two 2001 animes (that consist of 48 episodes in total, as a reminded), but it's relatively faithful. As a big Igari Kanji fanboy, I was a bit pissed that his legendary fight against Mount Toba, which is the subject of the very first *Baki Gaiden* (that takes place right after the Maximum Tournament Saga) instead takes place waaaay before that, just before Baki's own fight against Toba. And in the anime, that legendary battle is instead a squash match in which Igari is easily beaten by Mt Toba, so Kanji doesn't look very threatening when he enters the later tournament... There are several examples like that, but unless you're a massive Baki nerd, that shouldn't bother you too much. But hey, right now is a good times to be a Baki nerd. Between Baki Rahen, and the various excellent Baki Gaiden mangas... we have -the one focused on Gaia & Sikorsky, I love it! Kind of slice of life instead of serious fights so far, but it's fun. - the one focusing on my man Chiharu Shiba, who is currently taking on Ron Shobun and Shunsei Kaku from the Chinese Kaioh Tournament... I love Shiba the bosozoku, so that one is a delight! -the excellent Yuuenchi, that focuses on Orochi Katsumi's long lost older brother, his grudge against death row inmate Ryuukou Yanagi... there are also cameos from a couple characters from *Garouden* , so Itagaki fans should love that one! - The only one I'm not reading right now, the Retsu Kaioh Isekai... I'll binge it when it's over I guess, I'm just not a fan of the genre.

I don't know why Netflix didn't just license the first two seasons made in 2001.

Yea i didnt look much into that. I just grabed which ever body type Oliver was similar to for the sake of the point. But it is interesting that his build is based off of someone tho.

@@LeoArmada great video nonetheless

Ill look into that! I did hear about it but I havent read it yet.

@@LeoArmada yeah man its pretty good. Gets kinda heavy with the fanservice later on though.

I did kinda see the treditional stuff with baki Hanma and the next baki part, especially with the eyes being so sharp, while the eyelashes were super long and smooth

Yuppp. Glad to hear that!

LMAOOOO I DIDNT EVEN REALISE IT LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Who is gonna stop him? Oliva?

TBH with ya, for me, Baki, Bleach and Magi covers are PEAK in all of manga. They are literally dripping with love and drip.

​@@LeoArmada chainsaw man has some great covers aswell especially the first one

I do plan on covering more baki! There is still SOOOO MUCH to talk about

actually, yea, IMAGINE THE S2 OPENING 2 IN A 90S STYLE!!!! THAT WOULD BE SO HYPE

Yea Gym is pretty goated. I need to start again too. Push forward man you got this, first few weeks will be hard but it will become a habit as normal as breathing

Yea its such a shame that THE Baki fight to end ALL baki fights was served with the same amount of respect as any other fight. Meanwhile in the manga we literally had like 8 full page streads of individual hits shared between father and son. SHAMEEEEEEEEE

@@LeoArmada they really didn't needed to rush anime so hard, why baki vs yujiro aired so fast?!? Netflix animators work like a slaves even worse then actually japanese studio which already fckd up:( We could wait another year just to see good animation like in jjk, csm, tengoku daimakyou Freelancer animators would carry this season. But for some reason they doesn't have anyone lmao. Probably producers fcked up studio (You can read about animation production on sakugabooru, but I recommend watching Mankoman - all about "who did this scene and that scene". For example Hisashi Mori was the one who draw Katana man appearance in Chainsawman, he is veteran of anime and can draw however the fck he wants without looking at anime stylistic like in Baki:)))

that pure pure, quality shit that would make Walter blush.

Angry Swedish noises intensify.

IDk if this is a diss or a compliment tbh

If you look at Baki himself from part 1 and then part 3, there is a big difference. Even Doppo changed if you take into account how he was a bit more goffy previously and how much wrinkles and Muscle he has on his face now.

BROO I NEED TO MAKE PART 2 LMAOOO

​​@@LeoArmadaDo part 2 xD. they all look like chubby short people whenever someone tall is around like Jack or Pickle is around

Smiling is indeed, based.

I though it covered the latter half of the grappler baki manga

I need to look into comics more tbh

aint no way you can cover over 800 chapters, in like not even 100 episodes (and this is including the original Baki anime too)

@@LeoArmada you can because the pacing in baki manga is infamously slow. The rest of the series, from the convicts saga to the father and son fight was adapted in 78 episodes by netflix, that's 588 or some chapters. The old anime might not have been as faithful as the netflix anime, but I can't name any significant changes off the top of my head.

It does actually. Shaiding is inharitly darker, as a resault, less light gets blasted at your eyes, and it stresses them out less. Even if we take that out of the calculation, Shading in everything allows for more depth and texture, 3d feel and clarity on The Forground. You say sheading lowers available contrast, which is complitely wrong, contrast is 2 opposite colours, or close to opposite, interacting with each other, in a way that makes one or the other stand out (at least in this case), so with baki, as we discussed, the lances of light CLEARLY and brilliantly increase the contrast only because there was abbundence of shading. That long line or trail, is a complete CONTRAST to the gray and dark background/forground. You can make the forground more clear by not having a flate tone, which they dont, thats exclusive to backgrounds, and characters always have that CONTRAST of lighting that defies their outline and detail

Ill write this one down actually! A pretty good idea thanks!

Dawm, wow, Baki in georgian just Means a large water container. Such a contrast 😭

😭😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀

Yuppp kewk

Ill make it happen for sure, this was TOO much fun to make.

Broo whattttt 😭😭

@@LeoArmada bro it sounds the same

Yes, like the Gundum wing (1995) and Devil Man series which ran from 1987 to 1990. Im not too knowledgeable on those topics so I just picked the most iconic images to represent that era. Doesnt quite go 1 to 1 but yea, its simply a representation.

LMAOOOOOOO sometimes yea, exactly like bleach too.

Im actually working on that vid rn and i have to say, Baki Son of Ogre has my fav style BY FAR.

Its as long as Yujiro Hanmas Co-

100% and Land Of The Lustrous when it comes to just anime stuff. That series 3D CGI was amazing, not on the same level since this is a series and others were video games, but for the limitations, it looks amazing still

@@LeoArmada land of the lustrost takes advantage of the fact THOSE ARE FUCKING MADE OF STONES... IT MAKES SENSE THEY LOOK RIGID

what do you think of trigun stampede? same studio as land of the lustrous

@@Ayeato not seen enough to have an opinion
