D-did he race swap mid chapter?

 

[NeverAnother]

Wow is Baki doing what Ubisoft could not?!

 

[phil777]

Welp, Retsu didn't want to get tentacled. It's not that kind of manga after all!

 

[Yaboi27]

HOLY SHIT ITS JETSTREAM SAM

 

[ocsibrm]

Yasuke got isekai'd too!

 

[AEnigmatrices]

Who did Yasuke even lose to? I mean, he got captured by Mitsuhide, but he was sent back to the Jesuits.

Which is ?

 

[phil777]

Which is ?

Assassin's creed, the one that was supposed to have a black guy as the male protag in Japan. Shadows I think? Got such backlash because either racism or historical inaccuracies.

Fuuuuck yeah
George Floyd isekai'd

Yes, but what does it have to do with this chapter ?

 

[phil777]

Yes, but what does it have to do with this chapter ?

Because it's a black guy in a japanese manga who... Y'know what, I don't know either what goes on in the mind of the commenters who made that association.

 

[Remixman87]

My N**** is in this bitch!

Wait that sounded wrong- HOLD ON, WAIT!

I mean, the Bakiverse has certains flaws but portraying/including black folks was never really one of them : the series is 35 years old this year and they always had Olivia as a solid secondary character, even making him the main one in a few chapters ! How many manga series that old can actually boast that fact ?

So, yes, to me personally, a black character appearing in any Baki series ain't really that surprising : just another bro for Retsu to bond with because he's just that lovable !!

 

[SylB]

ooh gimme that krakussy

It is a black swordsmaster with a katana, Yasuke is the first guy who appears on my mind with this desctiption

Alai had his whole villain arc too. He even snagged a rare W from Yujiro (Technical W's still count right?)

Yujiro randomly being rapey I could 100% do without... but the series definitely is pretty equal opportunity in terms of ethnicity and nationality. Discussion to be had about gender sure, but not race.
