BAKI HANMA SEASON 2 PLOT
In the final episode of Baki Hanma, “Beyond the Brawn,” Baki gets his wish and goes against Biscuit Olivia, who claims to be the strongest man in America.
After an engaging battle, the two fighters get bored and resort to simply trading blows. Baki overpowers Olivia, thus earning a pardon and getting a chance to fight his father.
The story for the new Baki anime is based on the second part of the Gurappura Baki (Grappler Baki) manga created by writer and artist Keisuke Itagaki. Starting in 1991, the overall Baki manga series has five parts already.
Technically, Baki Season 2 will be the fourth installment of the new Baki series; however, Netflix labeled it differently when released internationally.
Baki Hanma season one ended with the Great Prison Battle Saga corresponding to Volume 10 of the manga, which means Baki Hanma Season 2 part one will begin by adapting the Tale of Pickle Saga/Pickle Wars Saga from Chapters 79 to 185 of the manga.
Following Baki’s battle against Biscuit Oliva, the world’s scientists discover Pickle, a caveman from the prehistoric era. Pickle is then taken to Mitsunari Tokugawa, where he battles many powerful fighters.
Due to his excellent combat ability, Pickle is taken in by Mitsunari Tokugawa and is forced to fight against increasingly powerful foes.
Meanwhile, Baki undergoes intense training in order to transition from animal-based karate forms to developing his techniques. He’s also given advice and guidance by Retsu and Kaku Kaioh.
Baki must fight against Pickle’s raw strength by enhancing his techniques. Baki’s image training eventually allows him manifest specters of the dinosaurs that Pickle battled in the past, but will Baki’s new martial arts techniques be enough to defeat Pickle’s final form?
