Characters Are Based on Real People | Baki the Grappler (Only anime)

Bruce Lee created his own fighting style by criticizing the immobility of traditional kung fu. Retzu is the 4000-year-old defender of kung fu.

Yo that Yujiro/ Paul Stanley comparison was outta NOWHERE!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm lowkey surprised that Jaku wasn't compared to VSauce.

Jack, Yujiro and Yuichiro not this people

Is Gaia based on Rambo? but he has the face of a ninja turtle 😂

I'll tell you something. Actually, this cartoon The author tried to reduce the potential of Muay Thai. Because when the author traveled to Thailand and went to watch a boxing match. He saw a large foreigner about to fight a much smaller Thai boxer. Therefore, the author bets that the foreigner will win. But the results showed that the Thai boxer won by knockout. This made the writer dislike Muay Thai from that day onwards. Deep down, he probably knows how dangerous Muay Thai is. Even the person who inspired Baki's character (Naoyuki Taira) When he fought a Thai boxer, he was completely defeated, unable to fight at all. As a result, the writer expressed his feelings in cartoon form instead. You will notice that the role of a Thai boxer or the martial art of Muay Thai is absolutely ridiculous. 🙄😮‍💨😔

For Sikorski I know there is a important character in the Polish army in WW2 who's name Vladislav Sikorski.

I reckon Dr Mike Israetel looks exactly like a real life Doppo

If Gallen was really Karelin, he'd be the final boss. I don't think there's anyone in history I wouldn't rather face in a bare-handed fight to the finish. He wrestled for over a decade in international competitions at the absolute highest level, and lost only once -- by giving up a single point on a technicality, then being durdled on for the remainder of the match. It took everything Rulon Gardner had just to play the lamest game imaginable and stay alive 'til the buzzer granted him both salvation and Olympic gold. He's celebrated for this, and rightly so, because Alexsandr Karelin is both a fucking monster and a generational talent, and prior to this, no one could get a single point off of him for six straight years. Unquestionably one of the greatest, and possibly the greatest wrestler of all time.

0:21 This guy on the picture is Zulu's son. Andreas Regan - Giant Gonzalez Rikigouzan - Rikidozan Kohei Kuzumi - Riki Chosyu

Я очень сильно не узнал: Рембо и Чикатило... Хороший гримм товарищи

Yujiro Is Inspired From Akuma The Character From Tekken Franchise

Very cool well done.

And on top, the author, Keisuke Itagaki, is a retired MMA fighter too.

U missed that boxer retsu beat. Based off heavyweight nicolai valuev

I seem to remember a character who was a Pro Wrestling promoter who looked an awful lot like Vince McMahon except he had a mustache...got beaten up by one of the villains and then got pissed on...reasonably sure it was this series...

In many cases, authors separate appearance from fighting style. For example, Yujiro's initial appearance was based on Matt Dillon, and his fighting style was based on a manga character named Matsutarou Sakaguchi, which he adapted. Doopo Orochi looks like Masutatsu Ooyama, but inside he is Hideo Nakamura. This information is based on the author's statements and books. As for Retsu, he says that he got the idea for the character when he traveled to China, and while there may be other models for the character's appearance, he is an original character. Bruce Lee has a completely different martial arts style and looks nothing like him.

This is very interesting, but you got one wrong Baki is me

Kunimatsu - Takamatsu Toshitsugu. He dont appear in this video but he's the teacher of Yanagi Ryuukou

It is amazing to see how they are all improved or equal versions of real people. Except Gallen, he's a weaker and stupider version of Karelin, he doesn't even have the same winning record, a real Karelin without the script against him would very possibly have trashed Jack, more than he already did, without losing his composure
