On Saturday, Netflix made an exciting announcement of a Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura collaboration anime during its stage event at AnimeJapan 2024. The anime will debut on Netflix on June 6. Its teaser has been released, which features the main leads Nobunaga Shimazaki as Baki Hanma and Tatsuhisa Suzuki as Ōma Tokita.
With this collaboration, Netflix promises to deliver epic martial arts battles, and the upcoming anime movie will give chills down the spines of fans, who often compare the fighting stats and feats of Baki Hanma and Ohma Tokita to see who is stronger.
The Baki manga series, published in Akita Shoten’s “Weekly Shonen Champion,” is a successful martial arts manga that has sold over 85 million copies worldwide. “Baki Hanma” is an anime adaptation of Keisuke Itagaki’s “Hanma Baki—Son of Ogre” manga. It is the third installment of the Baki series on Netflix and a sequel to the “Baki: Dai Raitaisai-hen” series.
Sandrovich launched Kengan Ashura with Daromeon’s illustrations on the Ura Sunday website in 2012 and ended the series in August 2018, but a new arc was launched in the Manga ONE app in January 2019. The first anime adaptation of Yabako Sandrovich’s Kengan Ashura manga premiered on Netflix globally in July 2019. “Kengan Ashura” is also a hit martial arts manga.
