Not sure how I managed this one, but I guess no soda tonight.

His ideology focuses on one main thing: there are no rules in fighting. Honor, fair game, all of these things are basically useless in his eyes, instead prioritising the "at all cost" win by pulling more or less fair moves, using his enviroment as a weapon, bringing Guns and other "toys" into fight, and even mastering an attack that straight up makes it so the oponent has zero chance for a simple counter attack, preventing the actual fight from even happening in the first place.

This is where i'd like to bring up one of the martial art styles called "Krav maga", and few of its bassic rules:

1.Neutralize the danger as soon as possible, before worrying about anything else.

2.Attack areas that are sensitive to pain, such as the eyes, throat, and knees.

3.Utilize any common object or environment nearby to protect yourself.

While i'm not saying spec has ANYTHING to do with that style (should've been obvious with the other point of it saying to finish the conflicts as quickly and escape to safety as fast as possible lol), i find it interesting that there is a lot of that you can connect here. Let's be real, irl the so called "honor" means nothing, as even experienced martial art master can loose against some random teen with a knife or other dangerous weapon if they get lucky enough. The only real thing that really matters, is the most precious thing human has: a life. I really won't care if someone calls me a bozo for e.g. crushing a Glass bottle on attacker's head in order to protect myself, because that's like least important thing you can be worried about in that situation. Pfff if this fucker would have killed me, this opinion would've be even less valid as I don't think i'd care about it in afterlife. In a way I kinda respect spec for not playing with that bs ideology that soo many fighters go for, and ignoring stuff like his "building crushing breathless attack", I find his style to be most brutal and realistic to what you're going to see in reality

This is also kinda proven in the show itself, as in baki's universe it's often not even about martial arts anymore, but rather who has more schizophrenia, and wierd ass God gifted powers like in yujiro or hanayama's case😭. I really see no reason why using stuff like Guns or other tricks is less "skillfull" than having an ability to slide down people with bs psyche blades that narrator will somehow explain as logical and possible thing to do

Peak.

I saw this On Tt And thought it Looks Cool

Like y'know how Yujiro threatens to 'Devour' people? If after threatening to defile someone to make a point, but they actually want him to do it, i.e: "You will?~" what would he do when his trump card doesn't work? Would he resort to violence? Or would he just walk away?

Messy? Yes. Promising Results? Also Yes. I can imagine the coloring is gonna be the best, may or may not add an extra hand on the right but idk

Hand pockets vs poison hands - who's left standing?

See this old thread for Ron vs all convicts.

EDIT: run is typo lol

my goat

I don't think I've heard an opening fit a certain arc and the overall vibes of the anime as much as this. And also its so GOOOD

Assuming he had a larger/more involved part in the story at any given point, not just the Ali Jr arc

Found these 1/12 scale cigs on eBay lol

The only ones that we've know of is Baki & Jack, which makes me wonder how many kids (Human or whatever) that he has across the globe
