Get ready for an epic showdown as Netflix announces the debut of the Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura anime on June 6. This crossover event brings together the original cast from both series, promising an adrenaline-fueled spectacle for fans.
Accompanying the action-packed trailer are details about the official opening theme, “Fly High” by Atarashii Gakkō!, and the ending theme, “Don’t Stay” by Lead.
Described as the clash between two of the biggest fight manga titles, the Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura anime merges Keisuke Itagaki’s “BAKI” and Yabako Sandrovich & Daromeon’s “KENGAN ASHURA”. It’s set to be a highlight of the year for both fans and newcomers.
The “BAKI” series, boasting over 85 million copies sold, follows Baki Hanma’s intense duels as he aims to surpass his father. Meanwhile, “KENGAN ASHURA” is about Kengan matches, where corporate disputes are settled through battles between seasoned fighters like Kazuo Yamashita and Ohma Tokita.
Despite similarities in their hand-to-hand combat style, Baki’s status as the older franchise has sparked an ongoing debate on which series reigns supreme.
Baki follows Baki Hanma’s journey to defeat Death Row Convicts, while KENGAN ASHURA focuses on Ohma Tokita’s involvement in modern gladiatorial matches between corporations.
On Netflix, viewers can watch the full episode match-up, including Saw Paing Yoroizuka vs. Kaoru Hanayama, Raian Kure vs. Jack Hammer, and the ultimate face-off between Ohma Tokita and Baki Hanma. So, gear up for a battle of epic proportions as these formidable fighters collide in the arena.
