Grappler Baki: The Ultimate Fighter

Baki Hanma (Kappei Yamaguchi) is a karate fighter nobody can place, with no known school, no known teacher, and a style no one has seen before. Yuji Asada follows him through a championship where he drops each ranked opponent with a single blow, though his name is barely on the bracket. Then comes an anything-goes match against Kosho Shinogi (Kaneto Shiozawa), a man who can tear out nerves, and the two circle each other like it will end only one way.
