DESCRIPTION:
(from Netflix's press release, March 2024) A dream come true for every martial arts enthusiast, Baki Hanma VS Kengan Ashura is the most anticipated anime crossover of the year. The "Baki" manga series, published in Akita Shoten's "Weekly Shonen Champion," is a mega-hit martial arts manga that has sold over 85 million copies. It tells the stories of various fighters, centered on the epic life-and-death clash between protagonist Baki Hanma, the youngest underground fighting champion, and his father Yujiro Hanma, the "strongest creature in the world." The massive hit manga "KENGAN ASHURA" remains steadfast as the most popular comic among readers of the comics website Ura Sunday and the comics app MangaONE. Humble office worker Kazuo Yamashita encounters mysterious martial artist Ohma Tokita and gets wrapped up in the "Kengan" matches, wherein corporations settle business disputes by betting large sums on seasoned fighters. With the upcoming film, an incredible collaboration between the anime series "Baki Hanma" and "KENGAN ASHURA" comes to life, exclusively on Netflix. |
