Bakidou (2018) - Ch. 149 - The Martial Arts World's Sense of Real Fights

I'll only take Jack as a threat to Baki if he can easily beat Pickle in a head-on fight and facing Yujiro and surviving a long fight against him just like Baki did in the past.

Only in Baki: the little bald psycho looks cute when he got punched in his balls.

 

[ChrosisOria]

OHH YEAH IT'S FINALLY JACK'S TIME

 

[Bados_Ladyte]

It's kinda weird when you really think about it. The "real combat" in this context, in this modern age that Memetobe (or Itagaki himself) is referring to, is combat in a self-defense situation. In normal clothing, no warm-up or psyching up, always ready no matter what. This isn't the period in human history where enemies from another country might turn up and raid your village at the border without notice anymore, the only situation that is even remotely close to that is you getting mugged while taking a piss in a dark alley by a methhead.

Idk I prefer the bi-weekly schedule but if a per-volume release schedule is higher quality and easier to do I don't really see an argument against it.

THE JACK
THE JOBBERS
AND THE MEMETOBE

I think your priority as a group should always be quality. If you have to release by volumes to keep it that way, then that's fine. I really appreaciate the effot you guys have put on this for so many years now.

 

[deezenautz]

I'll take it by volume, I don't mind.

So that's the meaning of this arc name.

Baki-Dou = Way of Baki

Jesus fucking christ
Yeah cutting away from that travesty to watch some randos do something else was probably the best move
But now we go back to jack again? After itagaki fucked him that hard? Im gonna fucking cry
Just end it

I'm actually happy. With the fight with Yuujiro well in the past, the series lost focus but the underlying theme could still be explored. Last 2 arcs had a theme of ancient martial arts vs modern, but none of the cast are traditional modern martial artists which was an issue with the convict arc as well. Itagaki knows this so he always introduces a bunch of fodder characters like all the police in Tokyo or modern rikishi to humiliate before our main cast prove their strength. We needed an introspective chapter like this to decompress rather than jumping into the deep end like most new arcs start. Itagaki seems to be hinting at a return to the original premise of the convict arc and the first story arc, no holds bar fights anywhere and everywhere. Fuck Tokugawa and his crazy schemes.

is jack gonna smoke more crack now to unjob himself

 

[oka-tan]

Penguin is dropping Baki

This is all Jawsh's fault for constantly stealing the credits page shitpost from him, clearly.

Jokes aside I wouldn't mind a volume-based release schedule. It already feels like nothing happens in most chapters so they might as well build up a bit.

 

[pdonk]

Gou-dou arc confirmed???

 

[LewdDewd]

im too retarded and stoned to understand anything lol

Ah fuck off dont even get started on the anywhere any time shit
All they did was fight on some street or parking lot 3 or 4 times such a waste

 

[BasilD]

Aw shit when baki makes you think that fucks me up

But tbf id be happy to see a longer jack arc. I wanna see what happens if he gets the strength he so craves

 

[Vento-X-Aureo]

Two more chapters to the end

Jesus fucking christ
