    Far and away the funniest anime I’ve ever seen. Just awful, hysterical garbage, and the author makes sure you understand just how low they can stoop. One of Baki’s earliest training arcs involves penetrating a heavily fortified country and subduing a superhuman genius land-swimming war criminal freedom fighter.

    SA warning: one of the main villains, and father of the protagonist, canonically travels around the world raping men and women and pointedly states that if they are aroused by someone, they must be a woman. The same character’s father fought the entire US military and won.

    This is an utterly irredeemable mound of slop, and I can’t help but watch it. Its pseudoscience and post facto justifications are captivating

    Then the president swore loyalty to Yujiro. Baki has been around long enough that Bush Jr., Obama, and Trump have sworn loyalty. Trump heiled him the first time. Thesecond he brought Elon and Yujiro was like ayo who tf is this.

    Only the second weirdest presidential antics in manga I can recall, Obama mindswapping into a 12 year old girl in Air Gear being #1

    …How exactly does a HALO jump without a parachute work? His pants drop just before landing?

    You know you’ve reached the peak of strength when you force your dad to eat your imaginary dinner. This is referencing a real Baki scene.
