Alright, Baki Fanatics! Let's Talk Baki Season 3 (Or, Uh, Season 4... Kinda?)
Okay, so you're itching for more Hanma action, huh? You're not alone! We're all collectively drooling for more gravity-defying punches and muscles that seem to have their own ZIP codes.
Let's get this straight, things get a little... confusing with Baki and its seasons. It's like trying to follow the plot of a soap opera after missing a week – good luck figuring out who's related to whom and who's trying to overthrow who!
The Netflix Conundrum: Where Did Season 3 (Or Was It 4?) Go?
See, Netflix's Baki isn't exactly a straightforward continuation of the original anime. It's more like a reboot-sequel-mashup... a delicious, muscle-bound smoothie of awesome!
Netflix basically picked up the *Baki* story with the "Most Evil Death Row Convicts" arc. Some folks call this *Baki* Season 3. Others consider it *Baki* (2018) Season 1. Basically, everyone has a different opinion.
So, if you're wondering about what's next after the Great Raitai Tournament Saga (aka *Baki* Season 2 on Netflix, which is *Baki: Dai Raitaisai-hen*), you're probably asking about the "Baki Hanma" series.
*Baki Hanma*: Son of Ogre – Your Next Fix of Fighting Fury!
Baki Hanma is where the real meat (pun intended) of the Baki story really heats up! This is where Baki finally faces his ridiculously overpowered dad, Yujiro Hanma (aka "The Ogre").
Baki Hanma Season 1 dropped on Netflix in September 2021. It covered the "Prison Saga", and it was glorious! Imagine Baki trying to survive in a prison filled with the world's most dangerous criminals – pure, unadulterated mayhem.
And then *Baki Hanma* Season 2 (The Tale of Pickle & The Father VS Son Saga) arrived in July 2023! We finally got to see the long-awaited clash between Baki and his dad! It's like watching two mountains collide, except these mountains are made of pure muscle and fighting spirit.
So, Where's *Baki Hanma* Season 3?! Is There Even One Coming?
That, my friends, is the million-dollar question! As of today, there's been no official announcement about a Baki Hanma Season 3.
Don't lose hope, though! The *Baki* manga has tons of material left. Baki’s universe is so expansive, it can go on forever!
Given the popularity of the previous seasons, it's highly likely that Netflix will want to continue the series. Think of the subscribers! Think of the memes! Think of all the gloriously over-the-top fight scenes!
What Can We Do While We Wait?
Well, for starters, you can rewatch all the existing seasons of Baki (Netflix or otherwise). It's like a training montage for your eyeballs!
You could also dive into the Baki manga. Be warned, though: the art style is... unique. It's like the artist was trying to draw muscles with a chainsaw. But you will get ahead in the storyline!
The best thing you can do is stay tuned to official announcements from Netflix and the anime studio. Keep your ears perked! Keep your eyes peeled! Let’s all cross our fingers and flex our biceps in anticipation of more Baki goodness!
While we wait, let’s all agree that Yujiro Hanma is the most terrifying, yet somehow strangely inspiring, father figure in anime history.
