Baki the Grappler is a shonen manga revolving around the life and battles of teenage martial artist, Baki Hanma. Born to Emi Akezawa in Japan, Baki is a talented prodigy in the field of martial arts, easily crushing most opponents who come his way. Unfortunately for Baki, success in the public scene is not enough for him- his true goal is to surpass his father, Yujiro Hanma, a titanic monster of a man who has made it his goal to ruin Baki's life as punishment for being born "too weak" for his standards. You see, the Hanma bloodline carries with it incredible superhuman genes, and Yujiro is intent on molding his son into a warrior by whatever means necessary. The manga follows Baki as he slowly grows stronger and stronger and the vendetta against his father only grows in intensity, building up to the eventual grudge match between father and son.Probably one of the most over-the-top and Gornographic Manga Fighting Series of all time. If it didn't take itself seriously you would swear it was a parody of martial arts shonen manga. Just about every major plotline has at least one totally ridiculous plot point, from death matches with reanimated cavemen to people who have more crushing force in their jaws than pneumatic presses. The series revels in completely absurd antics the whole way through. Underneath this insanity lies a very personal plot following Baki's development as a fighter and his assembly of a motley crew of True Companions. Also noteworthy is the focus spent on the philosophical sides of combat. Each major fighter in the series has taken on a different perspective on what it means to be a martial artist, and each fight is as much a duel of minds as it is of bodies. Much deliberation is spent discussing what it means to be a fighter as characters are given ample means to express their philosophical inclinations.It was originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion from 1991 to 1999, lasting 42 volumes, and followed by four sequel series, New Grappler Baki, Baki: Son of Ogre, Baki Dou, Baki-Dou (2018) and Baki Rahen.

comment
Creator Cameo: In the first series, the sniper◊ who was able to take disable Yujiro with tranquilizer darts looks extremely similar to Baki's mangaka Keisuke Itagaki◊. It is a very tongue-in-cheek way of saying that the only person stronger than Yujiro is the author who created him. In the first Baki Dou, in the middle of Musashi's fight with Hanayama when the yakuza has his hands crushing the samurai's face, the narration compares it to an real world event that happened in the author's stint in the military where he was bullied by a senior doing the same thing to him.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: President Bosh and the Ali family. Igari, the Pro Wrestler in the Maximum Tournament arc is based on legend Antonio Inoki, down to the chant the fans do for him. Others include Mike Queen (the Ultimate Warrior), Mount Toba (Giant Baba), and even Che Guevara, stated in universe to be one of the three strongest humans in the world. In Baki: Son of Ogre, Baki shadow boxes against the image of the former heavyweight champion Iron Michael (Tyson)

Katanas Are Just Better
 Baki the Grappler (Manga) / int_12a22bd8
comment
Miyamoto Musashi usually sticks to cutting things with his katana (something he's VERY good at), but as he demonstrates during his fight with Yujiro, he can still cut while holding nothing at all. It's an extension of his Sword Simulation technique, where his imagination is so powerful that not only will opponents feel like they've been cut, they really will be.

The Worf Effect: Mt. Toba is first introduced by having him grievously mangle Junichi Hanada — a fighter who himself was being hyped up as Baki's next opponent, and who was earlier shown defeating several martial artists effortlessly. Gouki Shibukawa and Doppo get Worfed by Ali Jr. during the Ali Jr. Saga. They all pay him back for the Worfing.

In at least the anime version, he blinds Baki by ripping out nerve endings located in Baki's neck (?!). Baki is able to temporarily repair the damage by tying his nerves like shoestrings. He later makes a full recovery, of course, because that is totally how nerves work.

Comic-Book Time: None of the characters seem to age, especially Yujiro, who fought against both military and the Vietcong during the Vietnam War when he was 16 years old. In the spinoff Manga Baki Gaiden - Kenjin, Doppo doesn't seem to look like has aged at all even though he met Yuichiro Hanma, the father of Yujiro Hanma; aside from not having any facial scars or losing an eye yet when he's still in his prime as a fighter. Despite ostensibly taking part over just a few years (not counting the childhood saga), the series has had the characters meet several U.S. presidents in succession (Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden), not to mention them using smartphones and the Internet in the latest installments.

Spice Up the Subtitles
 Baki the Grappler (Manga) / int_21f394ce
comment
Spice Up the Subtitles: The characters are so testosterone fueled that some scanlation efforts really took their time to spice up the dialogue to make the characters talk in nothing but a string of cuss words and generally be extremely rude to each other, as if that was the standard way a manly man should ever talk. The scans for the Prisoners Arc and a good chunk of Son of Ogre really pushed this idea, sometimes it going beyond “spicing up� and into outright changing the original dialogue.

Your Mind Makes It Real: Many skilled combatants can imagine concepts or opponents so well they take damage from it. Good for shadow boxing but less so when you can vividly see your opponent turn into a dinosaur or feel them slicing you with invisible katanas.

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown
 Baki the Grappler (Manga) / int_2543bba4
comment
No Holds Barred Beat Down: Too many to list, but probably the worst is Baki's first fight with Yujiro. Yujiro beats the ever-loving crap out of Baki, kills his mother, and decides to brutally maim the rest of the fighters that came to support Baki. Yujiro has this many, many, many times; to the point where when he appears it's almost expected. Needless to say, there is a reason every one is terrified of Yujiro when he makes an appearance.

The Dreaded: Yujiro full stop. His presence to the average person is compared to the deer in headlights effect. The possibility of Yujiro doing something causes people to freak out like the Grim Reaper is after them. Fighters who are one man armies have literally pissed themselves in his presence. The funny thing is that it can't be overstated how terrifying people find him, and its completely justified since he single-handedly caused the U.S. to pull out of Vietnam at 16. He's in his forties and if he wants you dead no one on the planet can do a damn thing to stop him.

Break the Haughty: Hanma Yujiro makes a point to do this to anyone he fights or threatens. The most prideful characters in the series have their egos shattered after an encounter with him. It's practically why he exists: just to prove there's always someone better who destroys previous conceptions of grandeur.

Adaptational Sexuality: Kureha, in the subs, was obsessed with bodybuilding. Kureha in the anime dub, however, is obsessed with bodybuilding and beautiful men. The dub also changes the scene Kureha has with Baki after Doppo's loss from Kureha talking about how life and death are natural for a doctor to Kureha going on about how cute Baki is, and gives every line out of his mouth huge amounts of innuendo from then onward.

Beat Panel: Taken to an extreme in Baki Dou. When Motobe visits Yuujiro (essentially the most powerful and undefeatable creature on Earth) and warns him that Musashi is too strong an opponent for him, we get a whole page of nothing but identical beat panels, depicting Yuujiro's face with a look that says "this is the single dumbest thing I've heard in my entire life." Happens again in a later chapter, when Donald Trump learns that each president of the United States must swear an oath of non-aggression to Yuujiro. The result is a whole page of beat panels depicting Trump's incredulous face.

Violently Protective Girlfriend: Kozue tries to be one on several occasions but is thankfully almost always talked out of it by Baki. Who is well aware of what can happen to untrained individuals who try to fight against the monsters that he regularly goes up against. Played straight only once when she kicks Hanayama in the shin after he attempts to fight Baki in a fit of needless belligerence. The sheer ballsiness of this almost suicidal act brings Hanayama back to his senses and causes him to quickly leave the couple in peace.

Curb-Stomp Battle

comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: Retsu vs Katsumi, Baki vs Ali Jr, Baki vs Shunsei are just some examples. Yujiro vs anyone. Including an earthquake. And the United States military. Averted if your name happens to be Pickle or Miyamoto Musashi. Many fights in general after the Maximum Tournament is over are this. Very rarely fights ever held between characters of equal skill level or prowess anymore (and the rare ones that are equal are serious cases of How Much More Can He Take?). But the biggest examples go to the Rai Tai Tournament and Muhammad Ali Jr arcs in their entireties.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Baki the Grappler (Manga) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Jack's constant Training from Hell caused his muscles to die and nearly killed him as he never rested and pushed himself far too hard. He only recovered due to receiving special steroids. During the Pickle sub-arc, one character trains and develops a fighting technique that allows him to perform supersonic punches and kicks. While the entire series hinges on outlandish breaks from reality, unfortunately, we're given a rather bloody and gory example that the human body is not built to withstand supersonic motions and impacts. When he manages to land said supersonic attacks, he ends up breaking both feet and flaying his own arm down to the bone. Pickle took down every opponent to face him with relative ease and seems more like a force of nature than a caveman. Once a fight gets him hurt enough that his opponent starts scaring him, Pickle screams and flees on all fours like an animal. He is ruled by instinct, not martial arts or honor, and most animals are not Super Persistent Predators who will fight to the death but instead will run away when they think they're losing the fight. Yujiro could potentially be killed with More Dakka or just bombing where he stands but the casualty and repercussion since he is technically an allied nation to the United States means it's not worth it. The Rikishi weight difference makes them a big threat to characters nowhere near their size even if they are masters of strike and grapple. Hanayama however is as big as them so he can just deck them with no refined technique aside a hard fist. Also Hanayama was never accepted by sumo stables despite having thrown an Ozeki with one hand in highschool and getting Yokozuna Kinryuuzan's vested interest because his facial scars, tattoos and Yakuza affiliation would hurt the sport's reputation.

Bittersweet Ending
 Baki the Grappler (Manga) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: The end of Son of Ogre. After years of hard work, constant death battles and impossible feats of strength, Baki is still unable to defeat his father in a straight up fight. However, he does give Yujiro one hell of a good try, forcing him to bleed and bringing him to his knees multiple times. As well, Baki manages to trick Yujiro into beliving in his "imagination" power after Yujiro previously said it was a load of nonsense. Yujiro is thus forced to admit Baki's strength and acknowledge that the fight was somewhat of a tie, since it was as much a mental one as a physical one. Thus, Baki doesn't quite get revenge for his mother, but he does prove to his father that he is no longer a weakling, and that some day he'll overcome his father for good.

Eye Poke: A specialty of Kato, attempted in his fight against Dorian in the underground bunker. Unfortunately Dorian's art of hypnosis only made Kato think his gouging attack was successful. After Dorian was able to observe the next set of attacks Kato would use in their fight, Kato's "second" attempt at eye gouging was repelled by Dorian merely tilting his head down and having Kato's fingers bounce harmlessly off of his forehead.

Combat Pragmatist
 Baki the Grappler (Manga) / int_49fb5ccb
comment
Combat Pragmatist: Most of the cast would qualify for this trope by normal standards, as the only thing that Korakuen rules forbid is bringing weapons into the ring (using whatever you find on the ring as a weapon is OK). Fighting dirty is practically expected - see Eye Scream and Groin Attack below. To be perceived as a dishonorable Combat Pragmatist in this series, you need to use weapons left and right and refuse to accept defeat after being knocked out and spared, like Dorian and Speck. Deconstructed for the convicts and especially Dorian, who was a Kaioh long ago. Unlike Doppo, who had absolute faith in his karate, Dorian never fully relied on Chinese Kenpo and learned several offhand techniques. It caused him to grow apart from Chinese Kenpo as these techniques became more effective at dealing with untrained individuals. As Dorian became stronger against weak opponents who can be easily manipulated like Kato and Suedo, he grows weaker against strong and experienced opponents like Doppo who can see through his conniving techniques. If Dorian had instead dedicated his life to perfecting Chinese Kenpo techniques, he might have defeated Doppo. The fight between Doppo and Dorian is a lesson that learning several tricks is useless compared to learning one comprehensive technique and giving as much to the art as you take. The other convicts also learn this lesson as Baki and his friends slowly start to see through their tricks, leaving them as strong, but predictable, opponents. And when you've been fighting people as long as Baki and his friends have, becoming predictable is the worst thing to do against people with years of experience fighting... Gaia is the master of this; it was said in combat tactics he was better than Yujiro. He can turn a handful of sand into buckshots and then use the sand and sweat to become invisible.

Power Copying: Yujiro encouraged Baki to learn and use the opponents' moves, as it "pissed them off". He demonstrated this in his fight against Kaku Kaioh, using the Xiao-Lee technique after it was used against him once... and then saying he would never use it again, because he didn't need it to win.

Artistic License – Paleontology: The existence of Pickle, a prehistoric human who hunted dinosaurs, is pretty self-explanatory, as far as this trope goes, and especially egregious for an arc published in 2008. The scientist that discovered him even explains that it makes no sense until he sees that Pickle was clearly being bit by a T-rex before both got trapped in saline rock formation, which is why he is so obsessed with studying him.

Rated M for Manly
 Baki the Grappler (Manga) / int_4da6ac
comment
Rated M for Manly: Pretty much every major character is saddled with an absurd case of muscles (though a lot of them have oddly feminine faces to go with it). In the sequel to the original manga and as well as the Netflix Baki show, Baki Gaiden Scarface, an unarmed man wins a deathmatch against a twenty-two-foot shark by shoving an arm through its eyesocket and crushing the brain. Yujiro is commented on having so much testosterone that, to Yujiro, all other humans (yes, even the most manly of men) are comparable to women. It's not that kind of story but also, the Baki franchise in general is basically a Human-focused version of Happy Tree Friends or Ren & Stimpy meets Invincible, Berserk and even, WWE in the Attitude Era.

No Challenge Equals No Satisfaction: A lot of fighters in this series aren't interested in fighting someone unless said someone can give them an interesting fight. This ends up being true regardless of the opponent for every fight Yujiro's in. To be fair Yujiro finds a fight with a massive elephant 3 times larger than normal to be boring.

Manly Tears: Expected of a series full of manly men but also has drama. Many examples but in particular, the end of the battle between Ian McGreggor and Chiharu Shiba. Many audience members are greatly moved by Shiba's heart and determination. Kaoru Hanayama, who happens to be one of the manliest men in a series about manly men, gives Shiba a manly embrace and call him a role model for everyone looked down on by society. As Hanayama was also Shiba's hero, water just pours from Shiba's eyes.

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality: A classic level 3 example. Women are irrelevant to the plot other than as Satellite Love Interests (Kozue) or as Apron Matrons (Baki's mother) who mold their sons into strong men. Nevertheless, the series has no hostility towards women as a principle, nor does it encourage mistreatment or destruction of XX-chromosomes, it just doesn't feature them.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: The most prominent fan scanlation, by the Wild Fang group, takes a lot of liberties with the text at times. One notorious example is the time Baki and Kozue first try to make love and Yujiro interrupts them to give them a piece of his mind. The original Japanese dialogue has Yujiro gloating about how Baki and Kozue shouldn’t be nervous about touching each other, that people should indulge themselves in sexual intercourse as much as possible, and living for one’s desires is the true way of life. The scanlation dialogue changed all of that to Yujiro demanding Baki to make a child with Kozue as soon as possible and wanting a new heir, since Baki till that point was not the potential fighting challenge Yujiro hoped for, so a grandchild would be groomed for that goal. That introduced a completely new plot point that simply did not exist. Another Wild Fang example occurs during Doyle's fight against Oliva. Doyle slashes Oliva with a blade, and soon afterwards, Oliva suddenly collapses. In the original Japanese version, Doyle explains that he had laced the blade with a hallucinogenic drug. He then goes on to describe that death row prisoners use hallucinogens on the day of execution to ease their fear of death. In the Wild Fang translation, Doyle instead says that Oliva collapsed due to blood loss, and recalls how back in prison he escaped death on the gallows by slicing the rope. It has nothing to do with the original text.

Dangerous Forbidden Technique
 Baki the Grappler (Manga) / int_8f0dc93c
comment
Dangerous Forbidden Technique: The "Mach Punch" is an extremely powerful, short-range punch that Katsumi develops on his own. True to the name, he punches forward at supersonic speeds, giving him incredible fighting power beyond what humans can normally produce. Said power is also more than humans can normally handle, as Katsumi ends up completely obliterating the flesh and muscles on his arm, stripping it bare. Pickle then easily incapacitates him, and Katsumi ends up losing that arm for the remainder of the series.

Back for the Finale: The childhood arc ends with every single of Baki's previous opponents coming back to cheer on him during his fight with Yuujiro. It is also given a dark turn: after wiping the floor with Baki and killing Baki's mother, Yuujiro proceeds to beat the shit out of the assembled onlookers as well, apparently just for the hell of it.

Beware the Superman: In a story where Charles Atlas Superpower is actually possible, Yujiro holds the United States at his mercy. He's not the only one either, even weaker characters in the series have abused their absurd strength. Most humorously is Biscuit Oliva (a man who is the epitome of physical strength) who uses a supermax prison as his personal penthouse.

Dorian was a villain who used special weapons as much as martial arts, included a super-strong cutting wire which was almost invisible. Orochi Doppo is able to cut the wire with his perfect karate chop, before explaining that the way of a true karateka is making your body such a weapon that you would never need another one. He does it again during the Grand Sumo Tournament, cutting the ear off Sekiwake Take-Tsurugi with a kick.

Took a Level in Badass: Most of Baki's friends are already certified badass to begin with during the Childhood and Maximum Tournament Arc and only get stronger throughout the series as they're forced to fight unconventional opponents outside the ring. The Death Row Inmates arc is a great example of this, as even though the five convicts are suppose to be one of the most dangerous threats in the world, Baki and his friends manage to take them down after honing their skills to powerful new extremes.

Made of Iron: Just about every major martial artist. Hanayama, in one of the more outlandish examples, once took dozens of very literally iron-shattering blows, then had most of his cheeks blown away, then took repeated blows to the head with a metal club, until the club was bent out of shape, then was shot repeatedly, then the super-strong opponent attempted to break his neck by stomping on it several times, then he got a finger slammed all the way in his ear in a killing attack... then Hanayama still kicked his opponent's ass.

comment
Weak, but Skilled: Shibukawa Gouki is an Aikido master in his sixties, short and alumno. His masterful technique allows him to fight against the massively built rest of the cast. Kaku Kaioh deliberately turned himself into this, renouncing his amazing strength and letting his muscles shrivel through ‘decades’ of training exclusively devoted to his technique because he was convinced that this would ultimately make him a stronger fighter. He is over one hundred years old, is usually carried around in a wheelchair, and gave Yujiro a run for his money.

Eye Scream: Doppo loses his right eye fighting against Yujiro. Later, during the Maximum Tournament, Koushou Shinogi attacks Shibukawa Gouki's eye as a last resort, but it was an already fake eye. The Death Row convict arc implies he lost his eye to Yanagi prior to the series. Baki's opening move against the Yasha ape is to run up and claw one of its eyes to ribbons. The Yasha Ape's opening move is to tear out and eat its own useless eye, thus causing an epic Oh, Crap! moment of the 'Why the hell did I think this was a good idea?!' variety for Baki.

Magic Countdown: In Baki Dou, Sukune boasts that his most powerful attack can defeat Baki within ten seconds, and their subsequent fight in Chapter 147 is accordingly accompanied by an on-page timer counting the passing seconds. However, the depiction of the passing time seems symbolic at best: between the panel where Sukune swings at Baki, and the panel where his blow lands, the timer goes from 4 seconds to 6 seconds — that would be an absurdly slow attack.

 Baki the Grappler (Manga) / int_a505fdd7
comment
As of the most recent arc, MMA is the new subject of Itagaki's ire, likely because Sumo wrestlers have historically done extremely poorly in MMA, and Sumo is the centerpoint of this arc. So of course, Itagaki devotes seven full chapters to introduce Jobber MMA fighters who get one-sidedly brutalized by a variety of Sumo wrestlers. Eight counting that Baki's first appearance in the 2nd Baki Dou was instantly beating the American UFC heavyweight champion who was just Brock Lesnar in all but name. He seems to be a Graceful Loser about it though. The most telling Itagaki's distaste for the sport is Rekizou Miyairi, the final MMA fighter to go up against the Sumos, and a very obvious parody of Conor McGregor, and has exaggeratedly cartoonish and undignified body language, clearly parodying the distinctive strut he's for, and his massive ego causes him to lose to Shishimaru despite genuinely standing a chance against him due to his fighting style's focus on hitting vital points enabling him to comfortably fight against bigger opponents like Shishimaru despite the weight and size difference, as him stopping to gloat gives Shishimaru the time to regain consciousness and the perfect set-up for a bear hug, as he clung onto Rekizou as he lost consciousness.

Save the Villain: An inversion that turns into a straight example. After Retsu is knocked out before he can finish Doyle, a death-row criminal, off, Doyle starts walking away...and then returns to ward off a pair of thieving mobsters and a dog from Retsu's unconscious body. He eventually ends up standing watch to the point of bleeding out... Which leads Retsu to play this trope straight and rush him to hospital to repay him for his kindness.

Scars are Forever: Every time a character becomes maimed or horribly injured, the resulting scar remains on them from that point on. Hanayama to this day is drawn with the scars he had from having the inside of his mouth exploding from an arc years ago on top of the many cuts and slashes all over his body from Musashi. Jack still has a scar running across his mouth ever since he had the bottom half of his face bitten off in one of his fights.

Pickle took down every opponent to face him with relative ease and seems more like a force of nature than a caveman. Once a fight gets him hurt enough that his opponent starts scaring him, Pickle screams and flees on all fours like an animal. He is ruled by instinct, not martial arts or honor, and most animals are not Super Persistent Predators who will fight to the death but instead will run away when they think they're losing the fight.

Be Careful What You Wish For
 Baki the Grappler (Manga) / int_b06bbf4b
comment
Be Careful What You Wish For: The Death Row inmates all wished to know defeat, but only a few of them were ready to understand what that actually meant. In particular, only Doyle seems to figure out that there's more to life than "winning" a fight, as the mercy his opponents have shown him leads to him slowly developing a conscience of sorts. Speck's body deteriorates to reflect his age following his battle with Hanayama and will likely spend the the rest of his short life in a coma, but the narration says he is happy about this outcome and likens it to dying right after achieving your life goal. Everyone else simply cannot mentally handle genuine defeat, and as a result all of them fail to cope with it. Dorian, for example, regresses to a childlike state after being beaten down by Doppo, shown Kato's unbelievable fighting spirit, and finally put down with one more final kick from Retsu when it’s clear he just will not stay down. Sikorsky never gets a chance to lose on his own terms to know defeat after being forced to surrender when he gets savagely beaten into submission by Gaia. Yanagi refuses to yield right after telling Yujiro that it's not his place to decide the victor, even when his hand is cut off and his legs been impaled by Motobe; Yanagi ends up killed for his trouble by Yujiro.

Precision F-Strike: In a sense: after the first defeat of Jack Hanma at the hands of Pickle, Pickle holds back instead of eating him. When Tokugawa Mitsunari goes to investigate Jack, Jack suddenly reflexively slams his middle fingers together. He had intended to jam them into Pickle's brain if he had gone to eat him—a literal "F Strike" as it were. Tokugawa even calls it the strongest "fuck you" in the world.

The Rikishi weight difference makes them a big threat to characters nowhere near their size even if they are masters of strike and grapple. Hanayama however is as big as them so he can just deck them with no refined technique aside a hard fist. Also Hanayama was never accepted by sumo stables despite having thrown an Ozeki with one hand in highschool and getting Yokozuna Kinryuuzan's vested interest because his facial scars, tattoos and Yakuza affiliation would hurt the sport's reputation.

Razor-Sharp Hand
 Baki the Grappler (Manga) / int_be37acf0
comment
Razor-Sharp Hand: Quite a few characters show the ability to cut people with nothing more than their bare hands: Shinogi Kanno practices a fighting style that allows him to sever nerves with his fingertips, allowing him to cripple or blind his opponents. In at least the anime version, he blinds Baki by ripping out nerve endings located in Baki's neck (?!). Baki is able to temporarily repair the damage by tying his nerves like shoestrings. He later makes a full recovery, of course, because that is totally how nerves work. Baki figures out how Kanno's technique works through observation and uses to blind Jack on his left side during the tournament finals. Dorian was a villain who used special weapons as much as martial arts, included a super-strong cutting wire which was almost invisible. Orochi Doppo is able to cut the wire with his perfect karate chop, before explaining that the way of a true karateka is making your body such a weapon that you would never need another one. He does it again during the Grand Sumo Tournament, cutting the ear off Sekiwake Take-Tsurugi with a kick. Sikorsky can cut people with his knuckle strikes, using friction to split their skin. Yujiro does this on occasion, often to open glass cola bottles by cutting the tops off of them. Shobun Ron's spear hand strike is strong enough to cut Oliva, who is tough enough to No-Sell a shotgun blast. Kaku Kaioh cuts the hands off three martial arts ministry members (as punishment for giving the Kaioh title to weak fighters) with an open hand chop. Miyamoto Musashi usually sticks to cutting things with his katana (something he's VERY good at), but as he demonstrates during his fight with Yujiro, he can still cut while holding nothing at all. It's an extension of his Sword Simulation technique, where his imagination is so powerful that not only will opponents feel like they've been cut, they really will be.

Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Yujiro Hanma, Retsu Kaioh, Katsumi Orochi. The Raitai tournament is literally a bunch of kung fu masters showing up they are the best by beating a bunch of foreigners with their four thousand years of martial art history. It doesn't go so well at the time of the series.

Hard Work Hardly Works: Yujiro is simply too powerful for anyone that is not his son Baki (or Pickle or Musashi), who trains throughout the series to defeat him and fails, because Yujiro is just that strong; he only conceded because Baki made him work up a sweat.

Pro Wrestling Is Real: In this series, pro wrestlers are right up there with the rest of them. Well, sort of. Mount Toba, at least, is described as a champion of "show wrestling", and faces off against Baki to prove himself a legitimate athlete and martial artist. It's mentioned that prior to "joining the circus", he really did wrestle in leagues where the fighting wasn't fake, though.

comment
Refuge in Audacity: The entire series is steeped in this trope. It's so over-the-top, and yet somehow so earnest in that over-the-topness that it loops back around to being taken deadly seriously. For example, one arc deals with an unfrozen caveman from the Cretaceous that fought dinosaurs being fought as an opponent, and other weird elements of the setting include elephants the size of dinosaurs, kung fu gorillas, earthquakes caused by fighting your imagination, using human beings as nunchucks... All this and more while genuinely being considered realistic by the characters.

Training from Hell: Baki underwent many of these as a kid; his body is full of scars due to it. His first memory of training? When he was three, as his dad threw him face first into concrete. While everyone in the series trains impossibly hard, Jack Hanma takes the cake. He needs specially designed super steroids so that his body doesn't waste away from training.

In some instances, it's Deconstructed: there's no point in giving up if you still have a chance at victory, but sometimes giving up is the right thing to do. After all, you can always fight another day, and pursuing a fight that you have no hope of winning doesn't make you brave or determined; it just means you're suicidally overconfident.

Superpowerful Genetics
 Baki the Grappler (Manga) / int_dc2c2968
comment
Superpowerful Genetics: A major plot point of the series is that the Hanma bloodline has these. They tend to manifest through powerful and warped back muscles that take the appearance of a demonic face when they get extremely tensed up. This is later subverted, as it's explained that the Hanma's back muscles are referenced in old legends because they were developed only by combat training, so anyone devoted enough to fighting could get them. At the same time there are a lot of references about the strength of the "Hanma's blood". Grandpa Yuichiro Hanma was the same as his son and grandson. He gave the United States in WWII hell single-handedly. On top of that, a hieroglyphic shows a man with the "Oni's Face" back muscles as well. Apparently, the Hanma bloodline goes back millennia. It even goes back to the Dawn of man himself, as there's a cavemen on a cave painting shown with the Oni's face back muscles.

Calling the Old Man Out: Baki fights to prove that he isn't a genetic waste and that he is strong enough to carry the Hanma bloodline. Even though he fails to defeat Yujiro, he does manage to get through to him that he's his own man, and Yujiro comes to respect his prowess as a fighter and as a Hanma.

Wrestler of Beasts: Being an over the top Fighting Series where even weaker characters are closer to Humanoid Abominations than to normal humans, the manga features many characters who do or have done this either to challenge themselves or simply to demonstrate their strength. Just a few of the examples include Baki fighting with giant apes, Garland demonstrating his strength at the Maximum Tournament by effortlessly outwrestling an anaconda and beating it to death, etc. When a minor character at that same tournament boasts about having wrestled with a wild lion, the other character he's speaking to wonders if the first guy is so self-interested and short-sighted that he doesn't realize that every competitor at the tournament has sought out some sort of similar challenge, and that the attempts at Trash Talk and intimidation just come off as pathetic.

Beware the Nice Ones: Baki, when fully clothed (so that his muscles and scars are hidden), looks fairly non-threatening and even cute. He also prefers to avoid unnecessary fights and repeatedly spares various punks who try to attack or mug him. However, if you have managed to make him serious, you better be prepared for some broken bones at best. After a certain point in the series, however, the local toughs start wising up.
