The fight of the century is almost here! Prepare yourself for a once-in-a-lifetime showdown: Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura. That’s right — a new film is on the horizon, featuring a clash between Baki and Tokita, two of the most iconic Shonen characters ever.
The thrilling news of the upcoming film was announced directly by Netflix, confirming that this new anime movie will showcase two manga martial arts titans: Baki and Kengan Ashura. In the ever-exciting multiverse of manga, this story will see the protagonists of Kengan Ashura going head-to-head with those from Baki. While the reasons behind this epic clash remain shrouded in mystery, we can certainly expect an absolute cinematic spectacle.
In 2018, Netflix and TMS Entertainment brought Baki to life — or rather, to anime — after the series had dominated the shonen charts from 1991 to 1999. Similarly, the streaming giant, along with Larx Entertainment, adapted Kengan Ashura in 2019. Despite Kengan Ashura being much younger than Baki — first serialized in 2012 — no one could have predicted that Netflix would pit these two shonen manga against each other. Until now, that is. And the wait is almost over!
When is Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura Coming Out?
The once-in-a-lifetime shonen battle, Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura, premieres on Netflix on June 6. That’s right, I might have stretched the truth earlier — you really don’t have to wait much longer! What’s life without a few plot twists? And rest assured, there will be plenty of twists throughout all the Kengan fights, as Kengan Ashura is all about finding worthy battle opponents.
Speaking of battles, Netflix has provided a complete breakdown of all the fights that will occur on screen. This breakdown was released alongside the trailer, giving us a sneak peek at who will be fighting whom. Without further ado, here are all the matches you can expect during Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura:
