maximum tournament > prisoners > pickle > china > olivia > ali jr > Shit > Double Shit > Dou

What about pre maximum tournament?

Baki's personality widely changes pre timeskip to post timeskip

Maximum Tournament > Musashi = Pickle > Prisoners > First Tournament Arc = Flashback > Olivia > China > Ali Jr > Sumo

Maximum Tournament > Raitai > Father-Son Fight > Convicts > Musashi > Pickle > Oliva > Ali Jr

Prisoners was pretty good but I think they made Baki a little OP. He was krumped 2 prisoners at once while Olivia could brely handle one. REALLY looking forward to seeing them come back.

That said,
Pickle (because of JvP alone), Prisoners, Musashi, Maxim (just because none of the characters had backstories then, now we know who most of them are going in so we care more)

Shit forgot raitai aka China, close 2nd

Wait. Why are you guys forgetting pre maximum tournament?

Because there was never any defined 'arc' prior to the tournament. It was, more-or-less, just a series of Baki fights. This makes it hard to rate it without rating each individual fight, like "Gaia > Toba > Koushou > Kureha > etc" because the fights varied in quality.

I started reading the manga and i'm at the part where Baki is fighting Gaia, so far things are looking good.

Wait what about Baki Gaiden or Revenge Tokyo?

Grappler Gaiden is 10/10. Revenge Tokyo is nothing, it was just made to sell the second series' shinsouban.

I just assumed it was the flashback arc which is all the fights in there and then Shinogi's arc.
I think that's the best way to categorize it.

how are you guys putting musashi not rock bottom.

What did you hate about Musashi?

does anybody else really fucking love the pickle arc? it was just the right amount of ridiculousness. and the whole concept of ancient man being stronger was actually rooted in science even though it was exaggerated.

fucking loved the jack vs pickle fight

honestly you might want to watch the anime, I think the 2nd half of the first manga isn't translated yet but its anime adapted

Had the most suffering. Retsu loses a fucking leg. Katsumi loses a fucking arm.

everything? It was an incredibly boring arc, maybe retsu and pickle(that fight shoulda been over in the first hit) job like crazy. The only highlight was Memetobe, and even that fight didn't make any sense. Musashi fell for some basic shit.

And then it didn't even matter, musashi went out for lik 60 chapters massacring the police for some reason until baki cleaned up.

It may be boring as a whole, but you can't deny that it had some excellent art and very entertaining moments.

100% amazing art! He always took inspiration from Japanese Prints but he went absolutely balls deep with Musashi

but to rate it above a lot of arcs with actually good moments? meh.

I liked pickle because it developed the side characters into top threats, even tho pickle no-selled them.

I agree
