As a Baki Baki Baki fan who reads all the spin-offs and engages in martial arts as a hobby, I couldn't be more honored to be in charge of the second season of "Hanma Baki"!
As this is Pickle's place, I created a sound with ethnic music elements with a continental feel and a fierce fighting scene.
It is a true cross martial arts battle of ethnic music elements, Japanese instruments, and rock that does not fit into rock alone!
I am very happy to have been a part of this exciting work.

＜Yuko Suzuka (Vocal)
I have seen "Hanma Baki" in anime. When I saw it for the first time, I remember that it was very interesting and I was absorbed in its world one after another.
I am very happy to be able to be a part of such a work and to have such a wonderful opportunity to be involved.
I am looking forward to seeing how the female vocalist singing "Baki" will reach you.
I hope that my voice and the sound of the Japanese instrumental band will add a touch of splendor to the work and that it will remain in the hearts and ears of many people.

Character Introduction

Hanma Baki (CV: Nobunaga Shimazaki)

A young champion of the underground arena. He has survived death-defying battles with the most dangerous death row inmates and the Sea Kings, and has become strong enough to win a head-on fight with Biscuit Oliva, who boasts of his super-standard arm strength. His quest for strength is only to win over his father, Yujiro Hanma.

Yujiro Hanma (CV: Akio Otsuka)

Known as "the strongest creature on earth," Yujiro is the father of Baki. He boasts such fighting prowess that he could defeat a monstrous African elephant, which had decimated an entire army, with his bare hands and no weapons. His overwhelming strength is such that he is the target of scrutiny by the powerful nations. He recognizes the grown-up Bakihyo and accepts his challenge as a suitable opponent. The time is finally approaching.

Pickle (CV: Takeshi Kusao)

Ancient proto-human. He is called "Pickle" because he was excavated from the salt deposits of the Jurassic period. He is a proud warrior who preys only on enemies who come at him. He used to fight dinosaurs that attacked him, and even defeated and ate the mighty T. rex.

Albert Payne (CV: Nobuo Tobita)

Nobel Prize winner in chemistry. He is in charge of the Pickle Revival Project. He is aware that the value of the pickle in reversing history is extremely high, and he sometimes causes controversy with his radical statements, saying that other species of animals should be fed on the pickle even if it will lead to their extinction.
