The battle between two of the most impressive fighters in manga and anime history is about to commence. The legendary Baki the Grappler is about to go toe-to-toe with a relative newcomer in Ohma Tokita. The upcoming Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura crossover will see these two fighters duke it out to determine the ultimate fighter. Here’s the release date and everything you need to know.
Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura release date, explained
The Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura release date is coming up quite soon. Fans don’t have to wait too long, as the release of this monumental anime crossover is set for June 6, 2024. The crossover will be available around the world for everyone to enjoy at once. At this time, it appears this crossover is only happening in anime form. Fans will have to wait and see if a manga version of the event will happen.
Where to watch Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura
When the Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura crossover happens on its release date, fans will be able to watch it on Netflix. Netflix is producing the film and it appears to be an exclusive for the subscription platform. Thankfully, the anime crossover will be available worldwide on the same release date and presumably in multiple languages for fans to check out.
The crossover between the two fighters will happen in the form of a Netflix anime movie, instead of the usual episodic series these two are known for. As such, fans will presumably be able to watch the entire movie and find out without having to wait for another movie or episode who is the fighter that will come out on top between the two legends of the arena.
What to expect from the Netflix crossover anime film
Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura is exactly what it sounds like: the epic crossover between two of the most prolific fighters in manga and anime history. On one side of the arena, there will be Baki the Grappler, the teenage hand-to-hand combat specialist. His start in the scene began in 1991 with his initial manga from creator Keisuke Itagaki.
Baki’s original manga is split into five different parts, with the third arc being, specifically, the Baki Hanma arc. This is the current arc in the latest Netflix anime series, which began in 2021. This is also the iteration of Baki that will appear in the upcoming anime crossover film.
On the other side of the arena facing Baki is the newcomer, Ohma Tokita. He is the star of the Kengan Ashura manga and anime series, which began its run in 2012 and concluded in 2018. He starts out as a fighter in his late 20s who rises from nothing to become one of the most famous fighters in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament. They will battle it out to see who reigns supreme on June 6, 2024 on Netflix.
