The trajectory of the anime Baki
Keisuke Itagaki started the franchise in 1991 with Hanma Baki , which ran for 42 volumes. Since then, the series has spawned several sequels: Baki , Baki Hanma , and Baki-Dou , all in the same magazine. The current version of Baki-Dou, which began in 2018, was chosen for this adaptation.
Meanwhile, the anime revival began in 2018 with 26 episodes animated by Double Eagle and TMS Entertainment. In 2020 came Baki: The Great Raitai Tournament Saga , followed by Baki Hanma , also called Son of Ogre . The second season of Baki Hanma directly followed the first, keeping the franchise's popularity alive.
Finally, now it's Musashi's turn to enter the scene and redefine the fate of the saga.
