    Synopsis:

    The calm before the storm descends as Doppo Orochi observes a youth karate tournament, his attention drawn to the unexpected power of a newcomer named Baki Hanma. Intrigued by this raw strength, Doppo and his disciple Kiyosumi Katou venture into the clandestine world of the Tokugawa underground ring – a place where unarmed combat reigns supreme. Their arrival coincides with a highly anticipated match: Baki’s confrontation with Koushou Shinogi, a legendary karate master known for his devastating Cord-Cutting style. The story unfolds within this gritty and isolated arena, exploring themes of skill, tradition, and the pursuit of physical limits. It presents a study of contrasting fighting philosophies and the characters' reactions to witnessing such formidable power firsthand, promising intense, visceral encounters and a glimpse into a hidden subculture.
