The Baki Hanma anime is streaming its second season on Netflix, and a new prize figure of the protagonist is being released. The franchise is also celebrating its 35th anniversary with a clothing collaboration.
The Baki franchise is in a period of active release and celebration. The second season of the anime Baki Hanma, which adapts the arc featuring the cloned swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, began streaming on Netflix on June 18. The season's main promotional video, released ahead of the debut, confirmed Chevon as the opening theme artist and Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS as the ending theme artist.
Shortly after the season's launch, a new episode of the related series Baki-Dou: The Invincible Samurai drew attention for a scene depicting a character resembling Donald Trump, named Tranp, urinating in fear upon meeting the fighter Yujiro Hanma. The scene shows Tranp, on his inauguration day, initially refusing to pledge loyalty before immediately capitulating.
In merchandise news, Sega announced a Luminasta prize figure of Baki Hanma, set for sequential release starting July 17.

Separately, to mark 35 years of the franchise, the Baki series is collaborating with FREAK'S STORE on a line of T-shirts and can badges.
