Synopsis

Baki's gotten bored with being the strongest kid around. After finally dealing with his father Yuujirou, he's been coasting through matches at the Kourakuen Underground Arena, barely breaking a sweat against opponents who don't stand a chance. His friends and mentors are in the same boat—going through the motions with their training, none of it meaning much anymore. That changes when Japan learns about a secret government project: they've successfully cloned Musashi Miyamoto, the legendary samurai. The resurrected warrior is thrilled to test himself against Baki and Tokyo's other top fighters, but he's struggling to adapt to the modern world. Miyamoto lives by the old code—honor, honor, death matches—ideals that don't mesh with how peaceful things have become. As Musashi carves his way through Baki's circle, leaving destruction in his wake, he inevitably comes face to face with the teenager himself. For the first time in a while, Baki actually feels something. He's ready for the challenge, and he meets Musashi head-on.
