Baki Hanma VS Kengan Ashura is an anime dream come true, as Netflix merges the universes of Baki and Kengan Ashura. Still, the crossover film leaves fans wanting more.
Baki Hanma VS Kengan Ashura is a standalone story revolving around two fan-favorite anime series: Baki, based on Keisuke Itagaki’s manga, and Kengan Ashura, based on Yabako Sandrovich’s work. Directed by Toshiki Hirano, the film promised to settle debates about which franchise boasts the most formidable fighters.
As expected, the film features intense martial arts battles between characters from both universes, culminating in a highly anticipated face-off between Baki Hanma and Ohma Tokita. However, the climax left many viewers unsatisfied, as the final fight was interrupted, leaving the question of the ultimate victor unanswered. This open-ended conclusion has fueled speculation about a potential sequel.
Will Netflix release a sequel for Baki Hanma VS Kengan Ashura?
