This isnt the same Jack as before though. The man is, quite literally, an entirely different beast than he was before. You see how much he's changed in the last arc.
Rereading this series again, I think I could accept this ending if it was executed better. Maybe if Baki had Musashi completely incapacitated and had the old granny come out right after would've been more well received
Im usually 100 percent on board with a lot of the craziness in Baki but this was just....no. I hope there's a chance the anime will alter this ending a bit
I mean, I wouldnt call it a retcon. Seems like her seeing the effort he puts into his work opened the door and him being a fun person to be around kept her in. Even in the first few chapters that looked like it was the case
First off, thank you for the back to back translations!
Secondly, I know some people probably think Oh Roji was being too harsh here but the kid just wasn't taking the hint before. Just needed to tell him straight up
Fr. Dude is just actively letting himself get dogged on left and right. Like I know that sounds like victim blaming but he just keeps letting this shit get worse and worse
