Grappler Baki: Maximum Tournament

"It Begins!"

Well done! Well done!

Not too shabby after rehabilitation...

Director.

Yeah?

You really are a monster. You sure seem happy!

Nothing of the sort! It's merely my responsibility.

Responsibility...?

I can't let myself remain beaten.

After all, we ARE known as the world's strongest...

What's wrong with just being the karate world's best?!

Suedo.

Nobody'll call you world's strongest just for winning a couple bouts.

Still, you don't have to--

The title of world's strongest is allowed only for those

who continue to fight and continue to win.

I'm sending Katsumi into the underground arena.

G-get serious, Director...! He's supposed to be--

Allow me to teach you the form of the ultimate karate fighter.

First, a height of over 185 cm.

A weight of 115 kg with just a smidgen of body fat.

Legs that can run the 100 meter dash in under 10 seconds.

The ability to bench press 300 kg.

Can we help you?

You play rugby?

You spoilin' for a fight?!

And a power that far surpasses that of Westerners.

Meaning Katsumi is the only one.

He may be my kid...

...but the man known as Orochi Katsumi...

...has done it.

He's completed karate.

Basically, not even I know how many millennia have passed

since karate's inception in ancient China.

At any rate, the mineral vein known as karate has been mined out.

No, perhaps "completed" is more appropriate.

By that rare prodigal martial artist...

By Orochi Katsumi!

But Director, isn't he our trump card for the next world tournament...?

Kato... I see you've become slow...

Who gives a damn about the world tournament now?!

The head of the Shinshinkai has suffered defeat!

We HAVE to use our strongest fighter!

One who outshines me, and everyone else!

Tokugawa...

As you've heard, I'm sending Katsumi to your place.

Good timing, Doppo!

I have a present for everyone!

I'm holding the world's greatest tournament!

The belt worn by pankration champions in the ancient Roman Olympics...

...valued in the billions.

Regardless of cost...

...bring to me men from all ends of the earth who are worthy of this belt!

--Yes, sir! --Yes, sir! --Yes, sir!

I can just smell the blood!

Don't leave, sir.

It'll be over shortly.

Yes, shortly.

You win...!

I can't continue fighting with only my left eye...!

Make sure you win the tournament, Kato.

You heard my friend here...

...sir!

Congratulations on earning a spot... Kato-kun!

Baki-sama. I have come to pick you up.

Matsuo-san. First...

Won't you join me, Kozue-chan?!

Unimaginable monsters from around the world are coming...

I'll win this tournament and jump straight up to your position!

B6? I thought the Tokyo Dome only went two stories down...?

We've been expecting you, Champion.

Champion...?!

You certainly are confident. You are the last one to arrive.

My challengers.

Baki-kun. You must be confident as champion to bring your girl here...

Shinogi-san!

You taught me quite a lot,

but I consider my session with you a mere passage point.

I've conquered my flaws.

The Shinogi style has achieved even greater perfection.

I see...

I'd love to try it out on you.

Hanma-kun.

Toba-san! You're competing?!

I'm just a reserver. If someone can't compete, leave it to me.

Move. Outta the way, Shorty.

Though I gotta admit I am feeling pretty damn good.

Reason being that I never fought at full strength before in my life.

Not even I can guess what'll happen when I do...!

Artemis Reagan, strongest man in the pro wrestling world...

Just a single slap has the destructiveness of a knockout attack.

The pro wrestling world never allowed him to fight at full strength...

...but he won't be holding back now.

Keep your eye on him from the very first round, Baki-kun.

The first round?

Would you like to see the world's strongest men?!

So would I!

Bring out the fighters!

The combatants continue to enter!

The Tiger Killer lives! It's the God of War, Orochi Doppo!

The biggest "badass" around! Chief Shiba Chiharu!

This expert possesses explosive techniques!
