There is an innate interest that the world has with the idea of fighting. From the gladiator pits of Rome to MMA fights that happening the Octagon, there is always a desire to see the level of strength and skill one has over another.
In fiction, Japan has been creating stories about fighting for decades; Dragon Ball is one of the first series that comes to mind. That being said, Keisuke Itagaki's Baki has always been a series that rides the line of realistic and fantastic fighting stories.
Created in the early 90s, Baki's story has grown and released multiple new stories from as recently as 2018; and from this success has even spawned a highly successful anime. Now, it looks like its manga is creating a new spin-off series that focuses on the character Retsu Kaioh!
