Synopsis

After 18 years of fighting and pushing his body beyond its natural limits, Baki Hanma is almost ready to face his father Yuujirou in one final battle. Publicly challenging his father to a revenge bout for the title of "World's Strongest," Baki sets out to train himself even further. He targets the few men who are said to hold comparable power to Yuujirou, including the "Unchained" bounty hunter Biscuit Olivia and a prehistoric human named Pickle revived from the Mesozoic era.

The demonic Yuujirou monitors his son's training with a growing anticipation. The "Ogre" sees Baki as little more than a savory meal marinating for him to devour. Still, Yuujirou exists in solitude at the top of the mountain of strength. He yearns for a combatant to rise up and prove themselves a worthy opponent capable of giving him a challenge. Despite viewing his son as pathetic, Yuujirou can't help but hope his child will be the one to give him the thrill of equal combat he has lived so long without.

As Baki seeks to understand his father's monstrous legacy, Yuujirou comes to terms with his true feelings toward his son. The two Hanmas advance toward their climactic fight to decide who is really the "World's Strongest."

This is without a doubt the best Baki part for me.

Not only do we see yet another shift in the story, which had been mostly about real martial arts and fighting styles, into a more fantastical and childish (cooler) approach, but we also see a whole other cast of extremely memorable characters.

Itagaki really stepped it up with his characters in this part. From the giant Biscuit Oliva, to the caveman Pickle, we see an entirely new approach to character introductions for this part.

Not only that, but we also deeply explore the relationship Baki and his father have formed after the events of ...

You cannot go into this manga with no backstory or background information and expect everything to be clear and satisfying in the end.

Its Fucking amazing. What I did like about this arc was the return of one of the old characters and how they finally stopped lengthening the story. Love how gory the manga is and also Biscuit Olivia is fucking funny af. ...

Going toward decline?
Baki is a manga based on a very simple plot: the epic hatred among son and father in one of the most traditional topics in Japanese culture.
Baki did start enjoyable with some debatable content in season 1, becoming "great" thereafter. Especially the Escaped Death Row Convits has been among the most intriguing ones.
Then, gradually the decline when Baki intentionally enters the prison that "holds" Oliver Bisquit. The idea is not bad but the result is pretty boring: everything feels forced, there is no stroke of genius in Baki's victory vs. Oliver and characters' carisma is dropping. Everything is quite predictable, with few surprises. ...
