Baki Rahen - Vol. 2 Ch. 16 - Upholding Aesthetics

[MangaDex]

 

[Xorn]

Are they setting up Jack V Ogre? If so, yes please.

 

[kohelemon]

I wonder who's next... There's so many it could be. A Battle of the Animalistic and Aesthetics! I feel like this is going to be a strong part indeed!
Unless we jump straight to Jack V Ogre, which I doubt. But, who knows what Itagaki has for us next, I'm excited to find out!

He better return with some depleted uranium teeth if he wants even a bite from the ogre.

Honestly this whole stroking the bitting ego is kind of lack-luster after Musashi ... which makes me think Musashi should've been left for last arc of Baki.

 

[MastemaSJ]

Is it me or have the past couple of chapters been mid

In before: “You can train your jaw, but you can’t train how your teeth is bound to your mouth (or whatever the dental terminology is).”
After Ogre (or whoever is gonna beat Jack) punched Jack’s teeth and they came loose.

"And then Jack, in a moment of desperation and clarity, figured out how to bite with his fingers and toes, only made possible by his extensive biting experience..."

"And then Jack, in a moment of desperation and clarity, figured out how to bite with his fingers and toes, only made possible by his extensive biting experience..."

And then he took it even further, by biting with his knuckles and fists, with each strike tearing out a chunk of the opponent's consciousness?

Really? Not even the Ogre could beat him?

It's you.

Really? Not even the Ogre could beat him?

That's not exactly what he's saying, he's saying that Yuujirou couldn't degrade himself with something seen as a "cheap" tactic. It's the same message as the "I'd spread my asshole, not even he could go that far!" scene. Obviously Yuujirou would trash Jack, but he wouldn't be able to bite someone the same way Jack can.

 

[nokosama]

Jack's resolve is already confirmed to be greater

 

[Talilover]

Bro didn't we already cover all this when Jack said he'd show his asshole to win? What a filler chapter

 

[Kanami-chan]

Martial arts are... beautiful

 

[MilkDrinker]

Trim away the waste, return to Pickle

 

[kyrex]

Why did he draw Yujiro like that. What the fuck.

 

[Pollomonteros]

Why does Yujiro look like he is holding the fattest shit the world has ever seen

 

[GGunslinger]

Not surprised someone calls it mid, even I have a sort of thematic issue with Jack right now. Mainly the biting - as far as fighting styles go, biting's extremely one dimensional and kind of a wacky thing to bring to a fist fight, especially when teeth are made out of metal. Of course "everything goes" in Baki fights so wacky stuff isn't unusual, buuuuuut honestly biting's a boring choice. I hope that future fights are not going to be all about how soon Jack manages to take a bite out of his opponent.

 

[TwisterJR]

"not even the ogre could match it" until he does

SETTING UP JACK VS OGRE! ITAGAKI PLS
