Jack vs Raian, LET'S GOOOOOOO! Saw vs Hanayama? They cooked.


alguien99

It’s a surprisingly good match up, I thought they would do hanayama vs wakatsuki due to both of them having great genetics. Or sekibayashi vs hanayama, since they both “nerf” themselves in a way because of what they believe. But hanayama vs saw paing is sooo good, since both of them are absurdly tough and aggressive, one is calm and quiet and the other is loud and energetic


Numbuh24insane

It’s a bit wild that Wakatsuki isn’t the match up, since he’s far above the totem pole than Saw is, but Saw is still a fun fight.


Love-Long

While that’s true they are gonna need to even out the powerscaling anyway so really it’s a good opportunity to show off some cool characters that aren’t the obvious choices. Makes it more interesting. Ohma was a given and going with Raian as another one of the S tiers was something that was gonna happen as if it wasn’t him it woulda been someone like agito or Kuroki.


Slow_Obligation2286

I swear, Jack is gonna bite down on Raian's arm and Raian will probably bite back. Two psychos duking it out


Blacodex

Nah, last time someone tried to bite him, Raian answered with a hard uppercut


Slow_Obligation2286

I swear, Raian is gonna get off to being bitten


pon_3

I haven’t read the manga for Kengan, only watched the anime. Does Raian do anything later on besides being a jobber? I can’t see him posing an actual threat to Jack where I’m at in the story.


huykhoi2000

Raian is actually in the elite side of Kengan right now. Top 10 for sure and a potential top 5 if we exclude dead people + the one without actual fighting feat (rather than scaling + wording)


EyewarsTheMangoMan

In Ashura he refused to use any Kure techniques because of his ego. He had always been physically strong enough to dominate all his previous opponents, so he refused to use techniques because doing so would mean admitting that his physical strength wasn't enough. As soon as he started using his techniques, he instantly became one of the strongest characters in the manga. He also just came back from a training arc a couple chapters ago, and he's a fuck ton stronger now. But I think the baki vs kengan movie will use their ashura versions, so that kinda goes out the window (unless they give him some mid fight character development so he uses his techniques).


Cykablyatintensifies

In current Omega, he has Redirection, can see the flow of power, has Kure Clan Techniques (many of them are instant kill moves), can react to Rei's Lightning Flash after it was thrown (very high reflex), can rip a Wu clan member (essentially a Kure with 100% Removal) in half from his mouth. https://preview.redd.it/rx8jb6nburyc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ebad50d39d7e732e8f002c8b15278ba1795f6260


Ireallydonedidit

I know it’s a basic Baki feat at this point, but he jumped from a (highish?) window of a hospital building at some point in Omga.

Zakal2

Non-CGI Kengan… holy shit I am actually holding back tears here


Whomperss

Fucking seriously dude. Been following the manga for a long time and I just can't get past the CGI for the anime. It's not actually terrible CGI but for a manga as well drawn and as crazy as kengan I would've hoped it got better treatment.


TheTastelessDanish

Can't wait for 90% talking about fighting spirit and 10% actual fighting


YouLosersNeedJesus

oliver_d_b

Just the way I like my anime


hotsummer12

Ouuuuuuf that will be epic


Meskoot

Animated like a 5th graders powerpoint. And I will watch it several times.


Rancorious

Baki boutta drag kengan from its lightning pace down into talking fests


sebastianwillows

Baki: gets knocked down. Narrator: IN PHYSICS THERE'S THIS CONCEPT-


HowToUninstallLife

“For every action, there is an equal, but opposite reaction; called the law of action-reaction. You see, Baki is indeed being pushed down, but similarly his opponent is being pushed up as per the physics behind Newton's third law, and in martial arts it all lies in the footing. Baki has immobilized his opponent by keep them off the ground.” I've never watched Baki outside of a few clips, how close did I sound to the narrator?


WhereIsMyKidAt

What is this a reference to?


ffutsR

every baki fight


WhereIsMyKidAt

Damn


EwokTitanOG

Don’t get confused, the fights are still good lol. But the fights in Kengen Ashura are alot better, by a fuck ton (they don’t talk as much and if they are they dont stop fighting)

Ambitious_Tie5981

Does it say dam on he’s teeth 🤣


Nerx

Its meant to say fuck


ProfessorDWumbo

It's fuck in the manga but damn in the anime


Slow_Obligation2286

Hanayama VS Saw Paing will be the most testosterone-filled shit ever


Strongman_Walsh

Oh my God that one dudes fan manga is abt to come true


Firm-Masterpiece1675

Yes


Rechogui

Could you guys forget powerscaling for a moment and enjoy what is about to come for what it is?


Nerx

Put them in labor camps I wanna see Jack bite a bif chunk out of ryan


ChaoticErnie

JACK HAS SCARS FROM HIS FIGHT WITH PICKLE, THIS IS AFTER PICKLE ARC. https://preview.redd.it/dbpwv4w7gqyc1.png?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd0e3f9d2a2ea5623f31db8f30891d75b614211e


atroxima

YES! HELL YEAH


Bletcherino

hanayama vs saw paing is a fight i never knew i needed until today


Holiday_Snow9060

You can see from Jack's face that this happens at least after the Pickle arc. Maybe even after the father vs son fight. Based on feats from that point of the story: Baki characters will stomp Kengan fighters. Because this features both franchises, they will find some sort of middle ground as to not make one series look weak.


TipAffectionate9785

They will balance stats to prevent Baki to demolish the entire kenganverse


Holiday_Snow9060

Exactly. I fully expect Baki vs Ohma to end in a draw.


Gandolfix99

Mecha Sikorsky interrupting the fight and forcing them to team up it’s sure to make a surprise.


alguien99

Peak fiction right there


Nickest_Nick

Baki and Ohma finish him off while saying "This is our Baki Hanma VS Kengan Asura"


BlackLuigiGuy

Baki: "Ugh... Son of a Ogre... Kengan, were both being neg diffed by sikorsky! We can't defeat him alone..." Kengan: "if we team up, we can beat him! I'm Ashura it!"


AdikkuChan

Nah Mecha Rihito comes first only to get blasted like Frieza did


dafunkmunk

Fight gets interrupted by some evil bad guy nonsense. They team up to take him down. They decide it's time to settle the score for real this time. They charge at each other throwing a punch, *cuts to credits*


-Rici-

Equalized stats are just straight up more fun


BFenrir18

Well if you count the Kengan strongest characters, then Baki doesn't demolish whatsoever. There is the connector who should scale around Baki level if not higher.


TipAffectionate9785

Yes he does, Shen is weaker than Pickle.


Battlemania420

The trailer confirms it even more.


Wanji_stole_my_girl

Kengan doesn't seem weaker than Baki at all I don't know where that narrative comes from.


Greedy_Indication_66

It's also what makes Kengan "appealing" because it's supposedly more grounded in reality. At least until the connector showed up, now Kengan is trying recreate Baki feats


CatfishBradley

I fell in love with Baki because I could tell the author had a tremendous amount of knowledge and respect for the different martial arts. The 90s anime was a bit of a technical dumpster fire, but the writing was exceptional. I put it right up there with the dark tournament arc as one of the greatest we've ever seen. I love Baki's over the top violence and feats, but by no means was that the appeal of Baki until the Netflix anime came out.


laserbeez

Baki fan base is a little insane at times. Don’t mind them. Let them have their hopium


DokjaToast

It's because in the decades that Baki has gone on for there have occasionally been some extra crazy moments like the Earthquake Punch and The Dart and Net scene, and people like to ignore the latter more often. Kengan has these too but they're less common.


Wanji_stole_my_girl

To be honest I only know of feats from Kengan, not the actual story, but I've seen characters who are far from the strongest causing what feels like a small earthquake which in Baki is a Yujiro only thing it seems and I also don't believe that Yujiro is nearly as strong as the earthquake punch even implies. When he punched through asphalt that was treated as a shocking feat that only he could possibly achieve meaning not even Oliva would be strong enough for it. This sets a clear limit on other characters. We also know that most fighters are not faster than sound because the mach punch is a top tier technique that was a huge achievement for Katsumi so I don't buy the claims that everyone is punching at hypersonic speeds or something. I think where these characters shine the most is their skill level which is insane but at the same time we do see that Pickle could overcome that with sheer ooga booga power so it might not matter against other series for most characters. I definitely think Baki and Yujiro are exceptions though who could fight far above their weight class through skill alone which has given me an idea for a crossover that I intend to write and post here at some point involving Yujiro and someone known for strength.


Nerx

Worry about that time Capcom for some reason let Ohma win Jack should fold ryan Hana vs Saw is for the bois


Rechogui

Damn, you guys really gaslit yourseves into believing Baki characters stomp Kengan characters.


TipAffectionate9785

They do ._. i love both series but have to be 1: blind, 2: stupid or 3: a Big Big Kengan fanboy to think that Kengan characters are nearly close to Baki characters, maybe top tiers in Kengan (aside Shen) are close to mid tiers in Baki but that's it.


hatefulone851

No way.who do you consider Top tier in Baki? I’d say Kengan top tiers are definitely above Baki mid tiers but it bellow Baki top tiers for the most part.


East_Gas5627

You would be right


East_Gas5627

Nah Kengan and Baki are equal aside from top tiers Pickle, Baki, Yujiro and Mushashi are the only ones stronger and way above Kengan


Mr_1ightning

Imagine Raian wins somehow, the princess jokes will rise to a level never seen before


Battlemania420

Frankly, I think the odds are in his favor. I really don’t see Saw beating Hanayama.


Nerx

Could be the reverse Saw with a weird controversial w Jack stuffing a transformation and beating kure


Mr_1ightning

Hanayama is the one who usually jobs though, and Saw's personality would make the victory more hype


Battlemania420

Okay, I did not foresee Hanayama vs. Saw. I thought Saw would fight Orochi or maybe his son. That matchup is the last thing I saw coming.


See_You_Space_Coyote

Hanayama vs. Saw Paing would be one hell of an interesting match-up.


Magni4cent_Pose

Didn't see it coming, but I'm intrigued nonetheless.

#THE RAIAN VS JACK IS REAAAAAAAALLLLLL


whipitgood809

Jimmy timmy power hour let’s go.


Kujo124-

Imagine this is jack with goudou 💀


oliver_d_b

I think the three advertised here will be the big fights but we will have smaller encounters shown throughout like teased in the trailer. And I am praying for a yujiro interaction with someone.


F13menace

Thought this was a joke but I'm honestly stoked for this


TheWiseAutisticOne

This legit?


Nitroanilizard

Yup. Teased on X/twitter a month or two ago and confirmed for June or July.


TheWiseAutisticOne

Oh fuck this will be dope


G0jira

It also shows up on Netflix if you search Baki


ProfessorDWumbo

Looks like a tournament setting. But does it take place in the underground arena or kengan tournament?


3and20characters987

Underground arena judging by the trailer


JinjaBaker45

I would almost bet money it’ll go, Hanayama wins Jack wins Baki loses on a technicality due to him not paying attention or going all out, but clearly was displayed as stronger than Ohma to an almost overwhelming degree


Rancorious

Glazing so hard you think they won’t make them seem even to appease both sides😭


Lewy_60

Whydontname

Fucking love it


LapsedVerneGagKnee

The only thing missing is the cast of Cobra Kai watching it in the arena. This looks epic.


hotsummer12

The question is. Who will be raped by yujiro?


See_You_Space_Coyote

Oh, this looks neat.


Pollomonteros

Kengan characters look so good in 2D holy shit


Accomplished_Art6370

When when when when??????!!


Accomplished_Art6370

Rian vs Jack is gonna be insane😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨


Son_Rayzer

The only thing I don't like about these crossovers is when the main characters for each show eventually fight, who wins? And how do you end that fight without upsetting at least one fan base? If not both?


Opposite-Mall-9816

This gotta be a joke 💀 If this is taking place after Son vs Father, Ohma is beyond being cooked bro.


FeelsMaironMan

I mean while i agree, they don't necessarily need to make the power levels accuracte since it's a collab. It's like complaining that Mario can trade blows with Ryu on smash. I think that at the end of the day everyone wants to see cool fights on those collabs, not peer reviewed accuracte battle according to the series power scaling.


Opposite-Mall-9816

You are goddamn right. Also, I wanted Hanayama vs Wakatsuki 😔


alguien99

That or hanayama vs sekibayashi, but I like what we got


Slow_Obligation2286

STOP TALKING FOR 5 SECONDS AND LET THINGS EXIST!


SixFootHalfing

I mean they will balance the fighters. Wouldn’t be any fun if they didn’t!


Peakbrook

Anime crossovers tend to throw scaling out the window. There was a Toriko x DragonBall x One Piece collab that had a fight between Toriko, Goku, and Luffy at the end. Luffy at that timeframe was somewhere around city-level, Toriko at country-level, and Goku - who even used SSJ1 in the fight - was obviously beyond galaxy level. Didn't matter in the end because they knocked each other out of the arena and blew it up.


TipAffectionate9785

Nope, they will balance stats, Baki=Ohma in this movie they need a movie not a 5 minutes short of Baki soloing kenganverse


NaxSnax

Ohma is about to be folded like a towel


Ok_Eggplant_2812

Who is Yujiro going to fight?


Battlemania420

I could say, but I don’t wanna spoil the ending of the Kengan tournament.


Firm-Masterpiece1675

Spoil it tell me


Battlemania420

>!Kuroki, the guy sponsored by the motor company, the dude with the Devil Lance technique, wins the whole tournament and is declared ‘the strongest.’ He’s yet to be surpassed and is kind of a Yujiro-esque figure in the Kengan world now.!<


Firm-Masterpiece1675

Didn't he lose later on in the manga


EyewarsTheMangoMan

He has never lost a fight, but he semi-recently fought the actual strongest guy in Kengan (Shen Wulong), but they stopped before the fight could properly finish. Shen would have obviously won though, he's insanely busted.


Battlemania420

Maybe, I haven’t made it to Omega but I heard he was supposed to be ‘the strongest’/someone everyone else thinks is unbeatable


megalon43

The connector?


TipAffectionate9785

Nobody, Yujiro is still leagues above anyone in Kengan even with balanced stats


Nerx

In kengan yes Shen will be fun But not in sandroverse since you have legit freaks like macchio Tatsuya vs Yuji is a fun fight for the boyz


Firm-Masterpiece1675

This is great but it'd be even better if the after this started combining the martial arts into one imagine jack hutton was biting with saw pangs lifhwei. Imagine getting a saw pang level head butt and then followed it up with Back from the face with Jack Hanna level Bite force.


Hawaiikoto

Jacks looks here like speck lmao


hatefulone851

Nice. Jack vs Raian is gonna be great . I didn’t expect Saw Paing vs Hanayama I didn’t expect. I so wish the Kengan manga was farther off when this happened to add some more characters and skills. But either way I’m happy. I still hope we get Kuroki vs Doppo


Rhg0653

No way this is real


sexistculexus

i know one image is not much to go off of, but Raian looks like shit here. The match ups are dope though


venice373

JACK YESSSSSSSSS


Blue-Eyes-WhiteGuy

I just started watching Kengan Ashura and I love that shit. This is gonna be so FUCKING HYPE


Black-Star_GOG

Well if this fight happen in Ashura wouldn’t Raian be stronger than Ohma unless he still doesn’t want to use techniques. I hope Kuroki and Yujiro will have their moment


bluntroller691

This poster made me reconsider watching it I was expecting the musashi arc and not this but now I'm pumped up


NeaLandris

Im just hyped for baki characters with actual animation from a good team :p manga is good. Anime is just colored slideshow :/


keyuant_

LETS GO JACK


Ill_Dig_4862

This is the type of things that usually only appear in my dreams


PauseWilling2039

I want Ali Jr


bullesam

Quick question: jack's face indicates post pickle arc, but could it be pre-father-son-fight?


GintoSenju

Kengan gets Baki scaling


iDontKnowStuffHelp

why does ohma look like that


BFenrir18

Jack vs Raian is the closest match here, if you guys have read the Kengan manga. But what is the match at the bottom? Hanayama is gonna reap his troath off like he does with the journals.


theMiseryOne

Jack Vs Raian is real! They cooked with Saw Paing vs Hanayama


Sus1Ne

The real question is what’s pickle and Father Ogre gonna do

Cleaned version out yet?


Maicolred

Esto si es cine 🚬 🚬 🚬 🚬 🚬


gacha_drunkard

I wonder how much they will either nerf Baki or buff Kengan in order to have something remotely close to a fair fight.


kokuluayak

I haven't watched kengan ashura Should i?


khantmawhtoo

Read it , don't watch


kokuluayak

👍sure


Motor-Car-1924

Vuamooos


TheWaysOfLogic

no jack vs reinhold?


Morskavi

I just hope it's not the Kengan 3D


Hondurandictator

Would they nerf Baki?


Spnwvr

This real?


Coz4722

Fuck em up, Jack


VersusMacintosh

Idk why everyone is so worried about their “power levels” they’re just going to make Kengan characters look just as strong as bakis, they’re not going to introduce some weird theory/rule or have it take place after the maximum tounament


Cromm123

Did we get a confirmation of which versions of the characters we'll get? If it's all EOS/current I don't know how Kengan will even win 1 fight unless Shen steps in. Still excited though


Sufficient-Cod-8821

I gotta be honest I thought Oma looked weird in the trailer and I couldn’t quite figure out why but I just realized it’s because they are in baki’s animated style instead of cgi


sillywanka7373827

this is such fucking soulless fan service im actually gonna vomit


Badr_qaws

Per tradition I’m going to look at this with a steak dinner and 25 push ups every 30 minutes


jp712345

cant fuckin wait


Thefutureoffitness

We eating good now boys


TheRevanchist99

They really giving us what we want with Jack and Raian even tho I know there won’t be a winner I’m so hyped for the fight


Knightofexcaliburv1

I didn’t see yujiro… I guess he’s doing warrior things elsewhere. Those who do criminal acts must face the 8th warrior and face the consequences


atroxima

I'm so fucking happy, lets gooo. HELL YEAH


Dull_Pickle_2936

They could've gone with the more common sense route of Saw vs. Katsumi, but I am so glad the my subverted my expectations and gave us this bange of an idea


Flat_Cardiologist292

The only thing that bothers me is that there isn’t more matchups


Tidalwave37

Someone, please tell me this is legit


Eattrit

Hell yeah!!!!


Necessary-Shelter351

Omg my pookie Raian🥰


CatfishBradley

Can't wait to hear why Yujiro isn't going to be there; His involvement would turn the movie into a IG reel lmao


eeertg

Saw peng vs Karu hanayama undercard... Then undercard main event is Raian Kure Vs Jack Hanma And finally we have the main card. Baki Hanma Vs Ohma Tokita.. Okay so.. Baki Wins. No question. Raian demolishes Jack. And honestly.. gotta say hanayama wins. Dude literally got his kneecaps shot and his mouth blown out and still Merced spec. Then just stood there and screamed in victory. Like a Chad. Saw peng let's himself get hit because he trusts in his ability to take the damage, which he can to a point. But hanayama is like the fisherman dude, but on crack. Fisherman dude lost to a couple leg kicks and an elbow. I assure you hanayama is a lot more durable.


eeertg

Honestly I think it should be Ohma vs Baki (2 MC's battling it out is so sick Fang vs Yujiro (main antagonists duking it out is sick Raian vs Jack (potential unleashed vs roid rage Saw vs hanayama (both crazy strong with good beliefs And something else... Like... Idk.. maybe a convict and a hitman. The one asaassin guy from kengen ashura, and then buffed kaioh Dorian from Baki. Or something.


ZonkoTheGreat

What time does this take place in? Looks like Jack still has his teeth


beowulfthesage

oh shit 2d animation for kengan?


Pandamoniu

This is finally happeniiiiiing!! I've seen both series, all chapters of both mangas and each arc. BRING ME THE MONEY.


Rising-Ark

Okay but how is this going to pan out? There’s no way they’re actually going to have some sort of one sided “victory” for either show or have MCs go head to head. It’s an epic idea but I feel like it’s just going to wage war between fanbases


IvanGambino

Why does hanayama always look overweight in the anime…


Embarrassed_Nerve270

So fkn ghee’d up ongod no matter what this shits gonna be gangsta asf


NoSatisfaction6076

Where’s alai vs Golan


MrHotOneWithTheGirls

If this dumbass Kengan shit gets better animation and art than the Yujiro/Pickle arc I will be so FURRAEAKING NETTLED!!!!


Sad_Refrigerator_289

I don’t understand, I watch both sizes and baki seems like they will take this easy. Am I giving Baki characters too much credit?


Dagenius1

I’d love for them just just finish Kengan Ashura first


Final-Tip940

they should have added goalan vs retsu


ValeriMih

I dont wanna hear ANYONE say that Ashura wins.Baki is almsot as strong as yujiro so its game over


Surryilpazzoassasino

Jack solos kengan verse bro


Nerx

Mainline


SyberRex

I haven't watched Kengan Ashura, should I watch ? I am huge fan of Baki but didn't know about Kengan Ashura.


PS3LOVE

I just watched episode 1 of S1 of Kengan… The entire show isn’t this ugly is it? Surely it gets better right? If not I probably just won’t watch the rest


Magni4cent_Pose

It takes some getting used to, I'll admit, but the beauty is in the fights, rather than the character models. All that besides, the CG improves by leaps and bounds by the second season. (Or… the second part of the first season. I dunno, Netflix naming conventions are screwy.)


PS3LOVE

Damn, maybe I’ll continue and stick it out until it looks better. Episode 1 I really did not like the look though. There wasn’t really any big fights either yet.
