Netflix has announced the English dub voice cast and released a trailer for Baki-Dou: The Invincible Samurai.
The Greatest Duel in History: Baki-Dou Arrives on Netflix February 26
Keisuke Itagaki’s latest BAKI-DOU anime adaptation will pick up right where it left off: the aftermath of the biggest father-son fight on earth.
Plot Synopsis:
“With no worthy opponents left, Baki and the other battle-hardened fighters grow miserably bored — until a plan is enacted to resurrect Musashi Miyamoto, the greatest swordsman in Japanese history. The unprecedented clash between a legendary samurai revived in the modern times and the strongest underground fighter will be brought to life with stunning animation.”
Watch the trailer.
The Soundtrack of Strength: New Themes by WANIMA and Novel Core
The new anime series is being produced by TMS ENTERTAINMENT, the studio behind BAKI and Baki Hanma. The opening theme “FURUBOKO” is performed by WANIMA, while the ending theme is “Mountain Top” by Novel Core.
In this clash between eras, their powerful tracks underscore the intense battles of Baki Hanma, Musashi Miyamoto, and the fighters of the underground arena. The artists shared their experience with the anime, stating:
Kenta (Wanima): “I grew up reading and watching BAKI from a young age, captivated by its world beyond common sense and its many iconic scenes, often reenacting them with my friends.
For the Musashi Miyamoto arc, I wrote this song by overlapping the idea that ‘one’s way of life itself is a battle’ with the feeling of continuing to stand up, even after being completely beaten down. I’m truly happy and grateful to be involved in this work.”
Novel Core: “I am truly honored to be entrusted with the ending theme for BAKI-DOU: The Invincible Samurai. Yujiro is the strongest—and therefore the loneliest. Writing from Baki’s perspective as he seeks the source of that strength, I titled the song ‘Mountain Top’ to reflect the cost of strength, like how the air grows thinner the closer you get to the summit.
The philosophy of strength that Baki has long portrayed is woven into the lyrics. I believe it resonates with the drama and intensity of the fierce battles against Musashi. I hope viewers enjoy discovering the many musical details and hidden elements throughout the track, alongside the anime itself.”
