A new PV trailer has been released for the second season of Baki Hanma to promote the season’s TV broadcast in Japan. All 27 episodes of season two are now streaming on Netflix.

The anime is based on the long-running manga by Keisuke Itagaki, which has run in Akita Shoten’s Weekly Shounen Champion for multiple installments since October 1991. There are currently six main Baki manga series and various spin-offs in publication. The first main entry was 1999’s Baki the Grappler, while the latest is the ongoing Bakidou, which began serialization in Weekly Shonen Champion on March 8, 2019.
The manga series has also inspired two OVAs in 1994 and 2016. It also received its first anime adaptation that lasted for 48 episodes from January 8, 2001 to December 24, 2001.
Netflix describes the second cour of Baki Hanma’s second season as:
Baki gets himself thrown into Arizona State Prison, aka the “Black Pentagon,” so he can fight Oliva…but there are plenty of other violent juggernauts waiting for him!
What fierce fighters Baki will face in life-or-death battles?
