Okay, so I’ve been watching this anime, Baki, and it got me thinking about MMA fighters. I decided to dig into this world a bit and see what it’s all about. It’s pretty wild, to be honest.
First, I looked up what makes an MMA fighter different from, say, a boxer. Turns out, MMA guys are like the Swiss Army knives of fighting. They know a bit of everything – striking, grappling, the whole nine yards. This makes them super tough because they can handle themselves in any situation. I read somewhere that, most of the time, an MMA fighter would probably beat a boxer because they’re just more well-rounded.
Diving into the Baki Universe
- I then started checking out some rankings and stuff. There’s this guy, Baki Bas, who’s apparently ranked #17,268 in Europe. Sounds kinda low, but the dude’s got less than two fights, so he’s automatically ranked, which is something.
- Then there’s the main character, Baki Hanma. This kid started fighting in no-rules arenas at 15! He’s the son of Yujiro Hanma, who’s supposed to be the strongest creature on Earth or something. It’s all very dramatic.
- People online are always comparing these fictional characters to real-life fighters. I saw names like Muhammad Ali, Daniel Cormier, and Jon Jones being thrown around as comparisons. It’s kinda cool to think about how these anime characters would stack up against real people.
- They also mentioned that the Baki series is still ongoing, so maybe we’ll see fighters inspired by more recent MMA stars. I wonder if they’ll ever introduce someone like Manny Pacquiao or Ronda Rousey. That would be pretty awesome.
The Ogre and Real-Life Inspirations
- Speaking of Yujiro Hanma, I found out he’s not based on any real person. He’s just this crazy powerful character who can stop earthquakes with his fist. I learned that some of the crazy moves in the show are actually inspired by real-life events. Like, there’s this scene where Yujiro surprises someone with a weird move, and it’s apparently based on a real match Muhammad Ali had. Who knew, right?
- I also got into this whole debate about whether Baki and his pals are technically MMA fighters. I mean, they use techniques from different martial arts, so I guess they are, in a way.
- There was this one video I watched that compared Yujiro to another character, Oliver, both in the anime and in a hypothetical real-life scenario. It’s all very over-the-top, but it’s fun to watch.
- Finally, I stumbled upon this calculation about Baki’s strength. Someone figured out that he’s got, like, 25 kilojoules of force, which is way more than a normal human. I don’t even know what that means, but it sounds impressive.
So, yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to lately. Exploring the world of Baki and MMA. It’s been a fun ride, and I’ve learned a lot about fighting, both real and fictional. It’s crazy how much detail goes into these things.
