Baki Talki: Recent Episodes
Steven Lyons
A fan watch along podcast for Baki (2018), where only one co-host is a fan. Each week Steve invites a new friend with no idea who or what Baki is to discuss a new episode. Listen along to find out who is Baki, what does he strive for, and why is everyone so buff?
And that's a wrap on cour 1 of Baki-Dou! Listen to the end of the episode of next plans.
This week, Cruella De Phil is back on the show to kick off our 101st episode! Musashi vs Yujiro? No matter who wins, Motobe loses.
100 episodes, that means 100 bios. If you combined them all, that would be like 200 sentences. Pretty wild.
Mat is back, and we've moved on from Retsu! Now it's Motobe's time to shine. Listen as we discuss how lame Kendo is, a truly bizarre plan from the Kyoto police, and Gerard Butler.
Mother's day comes early, except I force my mom to come on the podcast instead of giving her a gift. Listen in as we discuss all things Retsu in this very special episode of Baki
Sumeeta returns to the show, and Tom's here too! Learn about the Isle of Man, teeth-to-eye combat, and some ideas that I will sue McDonalds over if they try and take it from me.
Vishal takes a break from chugging diet coke to get over his cold to join the podcast and discuss how blades work when you just push them into people's faces. And Musashi and stuff.
Holy moly is this episode a snore. If you want to jump to the only good part go to 19:00.
We'll be back next week, I hope someone enjoys this April fools attempt.

Ryan, the OG, rejoins the podcast to discuss determinism vs free will, Japanese CCTV cameras, and the most fearsome move imaginable: The Rush and Hug.
A new guest, gasp, joins the show to discuss the man of the hour Musashi Miyamoto. He's got bamboo swords, a Baki Sword, even invisible swords. And some shitty sword made of metal but we won't drag on that much.
Jack rejoins the show to talk about Yujiro's many fans, the ghost and flesh of Musashi Miyamoto, and the wonders of Asphalt.
My brother Jeff is back to talk about Dr Jack Ho(r)ner, the ghost of John Fake Kennedy, and the process through which an egg is fertilized in the most advanced underground cloning lair in the world.
My wife Lindsay reluctantly rejoins the podcast to discuss Sam Atlas, crushing boredom, and the arteries that are hiding in dinosaur spines across the globe.
It's April (basically) so we're back with a quick update on the channel and what's coming up in the future. Once that's out of the way we'll be talking about Makura no Danshi, a hidden gem I forced Lindsay and Matt to watch.
Listen to this podcast as you go to sleep and imagine you are part of a 40 minute conversation between gorgeous Danshis!
Lindsay joins the podcast to discuss the thrilling conclusion to Baki vs Kengan. At least at the end of this mediocre film, someone has to win. Right?
We're back on hiatus after this until Baki is back, so follow The Anime Jukebox for more content from me, and I'll see you soon.
Mike returns to the pod to discuss the strategic benefits of vomiting mid fight, and other intriguing moves introduced in the middle portion of Baki Vs Kengan.
Remember to subscribe to the Anime Jukebox if you want more content in the gap between the episode next week, and whenever Baki Dou comes out.
Baki Talki is back for a special three part miniseries on a 62 minute cash grab where the cast of Baki will fight the cast of Kengan Asura, sort of.
This week we'll talk about the first third of the movie, including the amazing Hanayama.
Next week Baki Talki will be back for a limited engagement to discuss the new movie, but for now why not try out the new podcast "The Anime Jukebox"?
The Anime Jukebox is a new monthly podcast I'm starting. It's like Baki Talki, but no Baki. If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe to the actual podcast!
It's April fools day, which means we're back for a very special episode and some updates on the future of the podcast.

Marcus joins the podcast from across the Atlantic to discuss the penultimate episode! This week, Baki wrecks another car with his body, is thrown around more vigorously than a towel, and gets a ride on his dad's shoulders.
Sumeeta is back for the antepenultimate (look it up) episode of Baki Talki to discuss handpockets for the 10th time. But afterwards, the ghost of Baki's Grandad defeats the US navy!
Phil comes back to the pod one last time to discuss Baki fighting his dad and ... The bills game is on. See you all next week!
This week, the final duo episode! And what a dynamic duo to end things on. We discuss the logistics of loosening your muscles into gas, and whether or not the author has ever been punched in the face. And we finally answer the world's greatest urban legend, will some guy will fight his dad outside a hotel?
Christian returns to the show to talk about how much he loves a good pickle. We also discuss the ongoing father son fight, which some would describe as the greatest father son fight in history.
Early episode to end 2023!
I decided to take it easy this week by doing another compilation episode that is like twice the editing work of a usual episode. Thanks to everyone for listening and I'll be back next week with the start of Baki vs Yujiro.
No recommendations this week, so don't be tricked by the audio cues I've used. Just because I enjoy a snippet of the music does not mean the show gets my official endorsement. But bonus points if you can name where any of them came from.
It's December 25th, we all know what that means. A brand new episode of Baki Talki!
My Dad returns to the show to discuss the build up to a potentially massive father son fight.
Lindsay is back, and she is pumped to get to talk more Baki. And boy do we have a fun one, because Retsu is still in Vegas and Baki is fighting basically a man on the street.
Boxing is back baby! This week Jeff joins the show to talk about Smoking Joe Cruiser, the legally distinct boxer. We also touch on concussions, and Baki's Big butt.
Jack is back! This episode we take a look at the mysterious (and totally real) new Baki spinoff, Baki Rahen Dou. Will Baki's daughter be able to live up to the challenges her father faced?
On a more serious (if slightly) note, Retsu fights Wembanyama in Vegas. and Yujiro makes Baki eat on the floor.

Prolific guest and sister Kathryn returns to the podcast one last time. This week, we take a deep dive into the psychosis of Baki Hanma when no one is watching, as well as a return from our favourite president, Barak Osma.
Scott joins the show for in his opinion, the worst episode of Baki he's seen yet. But if you want to see Retsu make a mockery of 150 years of boxing tradition, or a man rage over making his son rice, this might be the episode for you.
https://elan.school/
This is my recommendation of the week btw.
Somehow, against all odds we have a new guest even in the final season! Listen in to hear Millie's thoughts on the fantastical world of Baki. Does it take place in reality? Can they time travel? We will get to the bottom of things.
Baki Talki is back, for the final time! But more importantly Ali is back! Finally, we can discuss the real love stories of Baki. The maternal love between Kozue and Muhammad Alai Jr. The Romantic love between Baki and Kozue. And the weirdly in the middle love between Baki and his mom.
This podcast has too many laughs for my mic to handle. Literally, it blew up. But luckily we were able to get a replacement so we can discuss if Pickle should be put back into the salt. And we also talk about the most popular president since Reegan, Barak Osma.
We're back and I've never been so tired. Going to go to sleep as soon as I think of some funny moment from the episode to reference. Oh, Pickle gets punched in the balls.
Alright, see y'all next week for the finale!
Pankhuri joins the pod for the first time to discuss Pickle's absolute beatdown at the hands of Baki. Listen as we discuss the logic in swallowing your own blood, the inexplicable age of Hanayama, and the most magical boy.
It's been a busy week ok? This week, we're trying something new with a live commentary, next week we'll be back with another amazing guest.
The battle we've been waiting 190 million years for. Can a man who eats dinosaurs be defeated by a man who wets himself while training? This is both the host, and guests favourite episode of the season so listen along to find out why.
Lindsay reluctantly returns to the pod to discuss the most boring episode of the season. We talk about how every person for the last 190 million years prays the same way, and also learn fractions with Doppo!
Tim returns to the show to discuss by far the most interesting event to ever happen in a baseball diamond. Katsumi hugs both of his moms, breaks every extremity, and the sound barrier. Is it enough? We'll discuss.
How many joints do you have in your skeleton? Close your eyes, and double it. Do that a few more times and you will be ready to experience our newest episode. Also, a special game of BAKI BINGO
Wilf is back and he's ready to complain about his new hard drive. But we also get a chance to discuss Pickle's continued escapades, the ever present sexual tension in this episode, and even some martial arts!
Max comes back to set the new record for longest single guest episode as we discuss the partial cannibalization of Seaking Retsu.
Acquaintance of the show Jack is back! On this episode we talk about how many Siberian tigers are equivalent to one caveman, the weight of 4000 years of martial arts, and the golden god that looks an awful lot like Retsu.
BAKI'S BACK, HE'S BACK. BAKI HANMA IS BACK.
(Sorry for the delay, I realized too late there were audio issues while away from my editing setup for the weekend)
For the first time ever in the podcast's existence, we have new episodes. My Cousin Andrew joins the show for the first time to help break down our new caveman friend Pickle, the incredible real life science used to revive him, and the robot he fights.
In the final available episode of Baki Hanma, some old friends call in to the show to talki some Baki. We cover the thrilling conclusion to Baki's prison arc, and touch on succession, slumdog millionaire, and the pickle saga.
We'll be back July 31st when the new season is out, see you all then!
Season three is almost over with the penultimate episode, so we invited two heavy hitters onto the show. We talk about the theory of consciousness, Officer Bob McCarthy and of course, HBO's OZ.
Thank you to whoever made https://www.michaelbarbaroislistening.net/, as without it this episode would have probably been better off.
Christian and Jack re-join the show for episode 3 of try month, where in Baki describes how the human brain works, Biscuit Oliva throws his motorcycle away, and we decide if an expensive wine is 1000x better than normal, or just a paltry 12x.
