Netflix delighted fans of the adrenaline-fueled anime “Baki Hanma” by releasing the clean version of its first ending sequence on July 19. The ending theme song, WILDER, is performed by UPSTART! This explosive anime series, a true “the boys” series, is all set to redefine the boundaries of what’s physically and mentally possible in the world of hand-to-hand combat.
Will we see Baki facing off against new unbeatable opponents? Will Yujiro Hanma, the strongest creature on Earth, push to new heights? We can find out on July 26 when the first part of Son of Ogre season 2 will debut. Netflix will stream the season as it airs in Japan.
For fans of the first season, get ready to reunite with the almost overpowered Baki Hanma, the young fighter who will go to any lengths to beat his father. Packed with action-filled confrontations, the second season takes things up several notches, throwing us back into a world where nothing makes sense.
Are you ready to witness another season of “what on Earth is happening?” moments? With new characters and arcs, Baki Hanma: Son of Ogre season 2 is all set to hype us up and throw logic out of the window.
Son of Ogre: Season 2 Release Date
The Son of Ogre Season 2 will release in two parts; the first part will follow “Tale of Pickle & The Pickle War Saga” (July 26), and the second part will tell the story of “The Father VS Son Saga” (August 24).
This first part of this season will bring a new beast into the play. Introducing Pickle, who might just be the strongest opponent to be introduced yet. Voiced by Takeshi Kusao, Pickle is a primitive age warrior from several decades ago. Yes, you read it correctly. Leave it to Baki to be as bizarre as our very own JoJo.
Another addition to the cast includes Dr Albert Payne, voiced by Nobuo Tobita, who revived Pickle from the dead.
The opening theme song, The Beast, for the “Tale of Pickle & The Pickle War Saga” arc will be performed by Wagakki Band. The opening theme song, Sarracenia, for “The Father VS Son Saga” arc (the second part of the anime) is performed by SKY-HI. BE:FIRST will perform the ending theme song, Salvia.
Recap of Seasons 1 and 2
The first season is divided into three parts, with the last part titled “The Great Raitai Tournament Saga.” The first two parts follow a young Baki who is challenged by five death row inmates who escaped to earn the title of “Strongest Alive” and to feel a taste of death.
You’d think Baki emerges victorious with no problem. Instead, a team of formidable fighters come together to show the inmates where they belong. Calling them strong would be an understatement.
The anime continues with the second part of “Baki,” titled the Raitai Tournament. Here, Baki is infected with a poison that entered his body during his fight with Ryukoh ‘Poison Hand’ Yanagi. Baki looks lifeless, with no strength and all his muscles lost.
It feels like the end of Baki’s story but when he fights an opponent in the Raitai Tournament, he’s cured by reverse poison and before we know it, the Baki we knew is back.
Season 2 of Baki is titled Baki Hanma: Son of Ogre. This season follows Baki, who is determined to become the strongest to defeat his father, Yujiro Hanma. So, naturally, he purposely gets himself arrested so he can become an inmate at Arizona State Prison.
He does this so he can fight the beast called Mr Oliva or “Unchained.” If we win against Unchained, then he’s ready to fight his father.
If I were to describe Baki, I would use the words “no logic” and testosterone-filled fights, but I would definitely recommend giving it a try. As I said, the fight scenes don’t make sense at all, all you would be thinking is “How is he still alive,” but that’s what makes Baki so interesting to watch.
It’s more than bizarre moments that make the series amusing, fascinating and fun. Suddenly you’re wondering why you want to become the strongest in the world as well. As we patiently wait for July 26, you can head over to Netflix or Crunchyroll to stream the previous seasons!
