This particular arc of the Baki saga, which premiered 25 years ago, threw our titular grappler into a high-stakes tournament against some of the most dangerous fighters imaginable. It was a deep dive into the visceral, almost primal, world of combat sports where survival was as much a victory as winning the match.
Even today, the sheer intensity and the over-the-top depictions of martial arts prowess make this era of Baki a landmark for fans of hardcore fighting anime. It's the kind of series that dares you to look away, but you probably won't.
