If she gets.... this would be a fucking PR disaster for Tekken 8....

The kind of "Jack arc" you're talking about is a hallucination. The manga is titled Baki Rahen. It means "those around Baki". Just because it started with Jack doesn't mean it was supposed to be all about him.

Spends like a 5th of the last series glazing Jack specifically
Hype up multiple fights for Jack
Start this manga with 60 chapters of Jack focused content
All this amount to literal years of Jack being the focus of the series

"ermmmm, where is this Jack arc delusion coming from? It's called those around Baki guys, c'mon"

The length y'all go

Itagaki is Wilding

That could mean there's 52 more chapters of Yuujiro glaze on the way.

This isn't right... Everyone knows that Yujiro only rapes men!

Jack's first proper fight in Rahen is with Koushou who has not had proper screen time in multiple instalments of the series and is supplemented by a completely unrelated return of Hanada who has not shown up since Grappler Baki. This added to the fact that his fight with Hanayama was more about the fact the two of them never met than either of them in particular, the little spotlight on Katou and Baki, Doppo and Shinshinkai's sparring session... I don't know why the title literally being the series' mission statement of showing off the entire cast and, I don't know, the fact that Itagaki (the author, I repeat, author of the manga) is not focusing entirely on Jack isn't enough to show you people the manga is not focusing entirely on Jack.

A lot of the time when I go through comments on Baki it feels like that one One Piece shitpost that goes something like "no way you actually take the author as your source"

Alright Itagaki! MORE! MORE! More politicians! Yujiro Must meet more! Make an entire Spin-Off based on Yujiro meeting them!
