"The "Baki" manga series, published in Akita Shoten's "Weekly Shonen Champion," is a mega-hit martial arts manga that has sold over 85 million copies. It tells the stories of various fighters, centered on the epic life-and-death clash between protagonist Baki Hanma, the youngest underground fighting champion, and his father Yujiro Hanma, the "strongest creature in the world.""

And here is the synopsis for Kengan Ashura!
"The massive hit manga "KENGAN ASHURA" remains steadfast as the most popular comic among readers of the comics website Ura Sunday and the comics app MangaONE. Humble office worker Kazuo Yamashita encounters mysterious martial artist Ohma Tokita and gets wrapped up in the "Kengan" matches, wherein corporations settle business disputes by betting large sums on seasoned fighters."

With these stories intertwining, it's easy to see why the stakes are so raised. Like many, we can't help but wonder who will come out on top and who will fall to the bottom. But our questions will be answered very shortly.
See a sneak peek of what's to come on this date below.
It's unclear how many episodes we will receive. However, based on how many episodes Baki has released in previous seasons, we can estimate that fans may get around13 episodes.
Before you dive into the series, you should know that the show is rated TV-MA, meaning there will be scenes with mature topics or intense scenes. If this sounds like exactly what you need, then you're all set. But if you would rather opt for something different, here are some recommendations.
Anime on Netflix like Baki Hanma vs Kengan Ashura
Want something with just as much fighting but not too much blood or teeth getting knocked out? Then we recommend checking out Black Clover or Mob Psycho 100. Both these anime have a great deal of fighting in them, yet don't have the TV-MA rating on them so they are safe to watch without worry about very mature themes.
Want something with the mature themes but not with all the wrestling? We think a shounen animated title like Naruto! Naruto has loads of epic battles and also explores mature topics that you don't often see in many anime. What's more, it's a show that is just as action-packed as Baki Hanma, so it's the perfect substitution!
Now that you know everything there is to know about Baki Hanma vs Kengan Ashura, head to Netflix on Thursday, June 6, at 12:00 a.m. PT to stream all the fun. See you there!
