It’s like watching a sumo wrestler suddenly breakdance in the middle of a match—never thought Baki would throw in a rivalry twist that hits harder than some of the classic Yujiro vs. Baki moments. The way Katsumi just flipped the script with that choice, it’s wild how it messes with the whole idea of what strength even means in this show. Then there’s Hanayama’s poker face during the chaos, which somehow made the whole thing even funnier, like he’s in a different anime. Makes me wonder if these rivalries are actually calling out how guys deal with pride and insecurity today. Maybe Baki’s saying there’s more to masculinity than just punching harder. Can’t wait to see what kind of chaos comes next—feels like waiting for the next round in a tournament where the rules keep changing. What do you all think these rivalries are really about?
