BAKI-DOU: THE INVINCIBLE SAMURAI
The amount of blood transfused would've filled a bathtub.
There were ten wounds in total.
All deep.
Even I had never done over a thousand stitches before.
A bathtub's worth of blood transfusion and 1,000 stitches.
That's so like Hanayama.
Living as the strong is quite exhausting.
Baki has officially challenged him.
I'm not surprised, but are weapons allowed?
I haven't decided, but the opponent is a samurai.
Only once he holds a sword can he be called Musashi Miyamoto.
His strength with a sword has already been proven more than enough.
Even so, Baki will face the samurai with his bare hands.
It's not merely a matter of facing him.
He had the nerve to say that he'll erase him from this world.
Baki said such a thing?
He said it bluntly to Musashi Miyamoto's face.
That's
not like him.
That's true.
If he were bluffing, it wouldn't be like him either.
So he might not be lying?
Kureha.
Baki Hanma doesn't bluff.
How long have I been slacking off already?
Training.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
The swordsman Musashi isn't spending his days training hard.
He's simply living his usual life.
Then I'm on equal footing with him.
Hardly training.
And yet I'm getting bigger.
My chest,
my shoulders,
my arms,
my legs,
my feet.
- The guy in the T-shirt in front. - What about him?
Just watch for a second.
My body hasn't let its guard down.
For example,
if I'm suddenly struck,
if I'm kicked,
if I'm grabbed,
or worse, if I'm attacked with a blade,
the instant I imagine it, my body is already reacting.
What?
See?
His upper body disappeared.
If I'm surrounded...
If I'm surrounded and attacked with blades...
What?
I see. So this is how I move.
He...
- He disappeared. - He disappeared.
I guess we just...
Just pretend we didn't see anything.
That's it.
It's not a blade.
How can he cut with bare hands and feet?
You should've already seen through it.
Control of the tips.
From the wrists onward and from the ankles onward.
Exactly. This is the control of the tips.
In combat sports such as boxing and Muay Thai,
even if they're sports,
the ability of an A-class fighter is a threat to unarmed martial artists.
However...
However?
If unarmed fighters have any advantage, it's precisely this flexibility.
With gloves, you can only jab or punch.
Kicks are limited to the instep or the sole.
Meanwhile, the barehanded tips are extremely diverse.
I've heard about the match.
You faced Musashi Miyamoto, who had a sword, while barehanded.
It may appear that way, but...
For example, if you went on a trip
and passed through the airport scanner,
the scanner wouldn't react.
Do you understand how terrifying that is?
Deadly weapons, blunt weapons, knives,
axes, swords, spears, whips, and even explosives.
A body that possesses all of those
passes through the scanner without any problem.
The moment you decide to act, the hijacking is complete.
Baki.
At this moment, you are that kind of being.
Well, Musashi.
What did you think of Kaoru Hanayama?
Something I cannot cut.
Something you cannot cut.
People, trees, stone, metal.
I was sure there was nothing I couldn't cut.
Nothing you couldn't cut, you say?
I did cut him,
but I couldn't cut him down.
That guy's fortress of muscle surpassed armor.
However,
flesh can still be cut.
Intention, thoughts, will.
The hardness of those spirits.
This hardness repelled my blade.
Is that what you'd like me to say?
Musashi.
Baki is stronger than Hanayama.
That very strong Hanayama.
That Hanayama who pushed you that far
is no match for Baki Hanma.
It's an undeniable fact.
The boy is stronger than Hanayama.
I know.
You knew?
Well, that's strange.
You defeated Baki once.
I thought you'd insist on that point at least.
It wasn't a match.
I merely took advantage of the boy's immaturity and manipulated him.
Manipulated?
I could tell strength by looking.
Before his spirit was in order, I threatened, tricked, mocked him,
manipulating things so he couldn't display his strength.
It's a different thing from a match.
Even if Baki were to hear that, it wouldn't save him.
No matter what anyone says, Baki will never let go of his own defeat.
Ambushes, dirty tricks, the use of weapons, multiple opponents,
and even fights against different species.
Baki doesn't reject any of them.
Beat your opponent, you win. Get beaten, you lose.
It's that simple.
Simple?
You won in a fight. Isn't that enough?
Sounds like you're saying he wouldn't lose in a match.
I'll tell you one thing.
Is that true?
The only creature on Earth who defeated the strongman Yujiro Hanma.
It was that boy Baki Hanma.
I remember now.
That...
Stretching on and on...
The plain of feasts spreading to the ends of the Earth.
How auspicious!
How delicious! What an auspicious match!
Tokugawa!
Prepare immediately!
This is incredible, really.
This is not where you hit, yet the tape on the back is peeling off.
A casual jab is already at this level.
I thought I'd learned a fair amount about Musashi Miyamoto's strength.
But if he gets hit at this level, even that great swordsman,
there's no way he'd stay on his feet.
No.
I don't really intend to knock him down.
I'm thinking of killing him.
Killing?
That doesn't sound like a word you'd use.
I might not have said that very often.
This is
something Doppo said.
Whether the man calling himself Musashi Miyamoto is the real thing?
It's fine. That doesn't matter.
The most important thing is
that his strength is fully on par with the real thing.
That's what he said.
These are words Doppo, who actually faced him, spoke from experience.
These are not light words.
So you mean to kill that unparalleled man, not defeat him or beat him?
Yes. I'll kill him. I'll bury him.
I'll eliminate him.
Thank you very much.
He shouldn't exist.
He went in.
Tailing him secretly is impossible.
This is Zero-One. Zero-Zero, proceed.
This is Zero-Zero. Zero-One, proceed.
The current location of Zero-One is
687-358.
Located at a manhole on-site.
So this is a Ryukyu habu.
It's tastier than a viper.
There's no shortage of food.
He sure eats a lot.
Have you gotten bigger again, Pickle?
Hanayama was huge too, but Pickle, you're on another level.
I didn't come here for any particular reason.
I came to see you.
Kuwata.
Could this be...
This area...
What, you only noticed now?
So yeah. It's Pickle, right?
What? So that means...
Yes. Someone wants to make the primitive man and the samurai meet.
Someone tipped the samurai off about this place.
This...
All of this.
Did you eat them by yourself?
Eating them raw without even using fire.
Only the bones.
Even the guts are completely gone.
No wonder you're strong.
Are you telling me to eat this?
Hmm, brain matter?
It's tasty.
Pickle, why don't we talk for a bit?
I'll take this as a souvenir.
All right, I'll eat it later for sure. I'll grill it.
I heard from Tokugawa
that you can't speak.
And yet I came to talk to you.
Pickle also came from a very distant age.
He heard from Tokugawa that Pickle was in the same situation as himself.
Without understanding how it works at all.
Pickle, who can't even speak.
And yet I came to see you.
What on earth did I come to do with you who cannot speak?
I get it now.
While I'm here, I understand the meaning.
You don't talk, but just as I thought,
we really communicated.
I stayed too long.
There he is!
You're causing far too much fuss, samurai.
What fuss?
Well?
I'm just taking a walk.
You guys are the ones making a fuss.
Don't worry.
I won't run or hide.
SHIBUKAWA-RYU AIKI JUJUTSU
Well, well. Is that so?
So you're going to kill that monster.
Yes. I intend to do so.
Baki,
no matter how notorious and vicious the opponent may be,
if you actually do that,
do you know what you'll gain and what you'll lose?
Not at all.
I haven't thought about it.
I can think about it after I send him off.
As expected.
I could say that about you.
What a horrible grandpa.
The night before the final battle.
Even as you try to take on the unparalleled one,
you appear no different from your usual self.
What's more,
you've declared that you'll drive Musashi Miyamoto to his death.
I'm sincerely impressed.
Wait. Please, stop it already.
Why do you know so much?
Because I'm a secret fan of yours.
The unparalleled man is nothing to you.
I'll be awaiting
your safe return.
BLUE DRAGON
What?
WHITE TIGER
Boy.
What were you doing?
I grew tired of waiting.
Did you eat them, Baki?
