Defeat in Baki (Baki Deathrow Inmates Analysis)

[@jakefoley9539]

Excellent analysis on the inmates, I love content like this. Dorian is probably the overall strongest inmate and easily the most complex. He was born with all the tools a martial artist could ever wish for. A strong body, a clever mind and many unique talents. This fast-tracked him to the upper echelons of martial arts, but he became more concerned with achieving victory than gaining strength, leading him to employing cheap tricks and picking easy fights. Eventually these tricks overtook his training and stifled his abilities. It took Doppo and Retsu to remind him why he became a martial artist in the first place. His problem wasn't that he never won, it was that he always won. Dorian was defeated by victory.

[@tillburr6799]

Spec seems to be the strongest. His physical might is obviously greater, as there seems to be no real technique when he breaks things, just strength. Its shown that he can take bullets that would crack a normal mans bones, and he smiles throughout it. As well as him shooting himself in the cheek just as a party trick. He is shown to be almost omnipresent, just appearing as he wishes, shown to be the most threatening. Everyone else survived through being strong, spec escaped his cell and was portrayed as some horror fiction monster. And he was the only inmate to be shown to be an actually dangerous combatant in his defeat.

[@jakefoley9539]

@@tillburr6799 Spec is one of the most blatantly supernatural characters in the whole series. Dude was basically teleporting around like a slasher villain, somehow dug up info on Baki's past, was able to track down some random guy Baki knew and steal his hand, and apparently survived getting his jugular ripped out at 97 years old.

another interesting fact about Dorian, he was the only death row inmate that didn't go after Baki. all the other inmates went after and fought Baki except him. it's like he knew he couldn't beat Baki and avoided him as a result.

[@throwaway-r6v]

No, Doyle was not a hypocrite. He fought by a "Any means necessary" mindset, and that never changed, running away from Retsu when he used Kunai or martial arts was not him being a hypocrite. Him being a hypocrite would be him declaring that what Retsu was doing is unfair, he never did this. A hypocrite or hypocrisy is when someone's words or actions are condemning another for doing something that they themselves do. Eg: Telling someone they're wrong for smoking when you yourself are a smoker. Being a hypocrite doesn't necessarily mean what you're saying is incorrect, obviously telling someone to stop smoking even though you smoke isn't necessarily bad in any way, however you should obviously be doing the same. Typically even this wouldn't be considered true "Hypocrisy", giving someone good advice you yourself don't follow isn't being a "bad" hypocrite, but if you were to harm them, treat them poorly, or generally do or cause something negative to them for doing what you do, then that is bad hypocrisy as you might imagine. Back to the original point, Doyle running is still following the "By any means necessary" way, as he was running from a fight that was not in his favor, escaping or fleeing is still part of a "Any means necessary" fight, you are not allowing yourself to be tethered by pride or rules, nothing is holding you back from using whatever you can to win, just as nothing is holding you back from running or fleeing from a battle that is unfavorable. TL;DR : Doyle is not a hypocrite, running away/escaping/fleeing is included in "By any means necessary."

[@Oera-B]

Hypocrisy also ascribes acting as something you are not. Doyle cannot claim to seek defeat yet only fight opponents he knows he's sure to win against, for example. He'd be acting like someone he's not, thus a hypocrite.

[@itzYonko]

​@@Oera-BYou are missing the point.

I know a lot of people also want him to return reformed so why does the author does not make that happen? It would be cool. Also, you can evolve the rest too. Some of them stay bad, some of them like Dorian and Sikorsky - get reformed, but hone their skills in new ways and levels. Maybe get the prisoners fight themselves (reformed vs bad).

[@randallflagg3700]

Well, since the big fight in the main Baki title right now is Jack Hanma vs Shinogi Koushou, that we last saw in a real fight against Hector Doyle, there's a chance that we might get an update on our favorite Scottish convict? With Sikorsky and Yanagi both being important characters in 2 different "Baki Gaiden" title, it would be nice to have Doyle make an appearance in the main manga.

[@karlbenito9992]

Yanagi also plays a big part in the *Baki Gaiden: Yuenchi* ... he escaped from prison again and we meet his student, Jin Kanno, we also see his master, Kinimitsu (last seen in Hanayam's spin-off, working alongside GM), and, well I'm only 3 volumes in right now because I don't want to read the raws so I haven't spoiled myself yet...

[@dangerousdays2052]

This arc fizzled out so bad after Dorian was defeated. In all honesty, the inmates were just measuring sticks for the side characters and Baki's sex power up. 😂🤣

[@Vinnce12]

I'm surprised you didn't bring up Revenge Tokyo during this video. Some would argue that it undercuts the message of what defeat truly means, but I'd make the case that it expands on it a bit. Each inmate in this arc claims to want defeat, which I think can easily be interpreted as "fight me with everything you've got and beat me." With Revenge Tokyo heavily hinting at their return, I think this phrase was more in line with what they really wanted: "Show me that I still have room to improve." One of the core philosophies of the Baki world is the importance of pursuing strength and the personal growth that comes from that pursuit. No matter how strong the main cast gets, they all acknowledge that there's always room for improvement. Even Retsu, whose whole character revolves around his pride in Chinese Kenpo, is always striving to improve his techniques. In comparison, you have the inmates. Each of them has led lives that incentivized the use of underhanded tactics, which made it all the easier for them to chalk up their victories as legitimate. It also helps that they were all incredibly dangerous even without their tricks, as shown when they all managed to escape their respective imprisonments with little to no effort. When victory comes that easy, the only conclusion any of them could think to come to was "I am at the peak of my strength and nothing can challenge me." They didn't fight to improve because, as far as they were concerned, there was no room for growth. In going to Tokyo, the inmates wanted to do one of two things: They wanted to find someone who could properly test them in a way that made them WANT to improve their skills, and if that didn't happen, they wanted to prove to 'legitimate' fighters that their way of fighting is superior. Dorian, Spec, and Doyle fall into the former, Sikorsky and Yanagi the latter.

I think Sikorsky and Yanagi display defeat the best. Sikorsky having true terror beaten into him until his resolve disappears. And Yanagi having the resolve to continue, even in the face of Yujiro, but is in denial of his defeat and was "reminded" by Yujiro that he was in the state of defeat.

[@venomshot2815]

Sikorski's defeat was ridiculous, you'd think biscuit would have beat some terror into him, but no the writers pulled a terminally ill looking character out of their ass, who literally turned invisible by throwing sand in the air, with how many times Sikorsky came back it wouldn't make any sense for him to just be terrified, especially someone who he'd easily beat on asphalt or concrete

[@cheftristone]

@venomshot2815 I definitely see what you're saying. His tango with Oliva by the logic of the series given the Ruskie terror. But, you could infer that he had no fear of someone whom he fought in a straight manner. Not to make up for bad writing or character development though, he pieced up Igari, and tried to beef with Yujiro, Baki, Oliva, and Jack all of which are straight up fighters. But the moment an opponent he couldn't fight through means of deception came along, his resolve crumbled. But like I said, I'm not going to defend bad writing, this all is just my pure opinion.

I feel like each sought defeat due to a saying of “when you win you don’t learn, but when you lose you learn a lot more” or something to that degree. Each were so strong they sought out defeat to gain more strength and by losing, in Revenge Tokyo we see just how strong they can become. Doyle becomes akin to Daredevil, Dorian gain a ton of leg muscle, Speck was training in his mind regaining his muscle mass, and Sikorsky has new gripping power to the point he can stick to walls. Although we haven’t seen it, Yanagi is definitely a threat what with his hook hand and all.

This was an excellent breakdown of season 1 of the Baki Netflix original. I honestly think that what you outlined is also why I hated all of the deathrow inmates so much. It was so dumb and inelegant that each one mentally regressed rather than moving forward with their loss. Besides Doyle and Doyle is at least somewhat interesting.

[@ogre589]

The Dorian/Dopo fight can be represented by this quote "I do not fear the man who has done 10000 kicks once, I fear the man that has done a single kick 10000 times." Fitting considering its a Bruce Lee quote.

Great video, wish more people talked about this crazy show

[@thefoundationagent61]

What each was defeated by: Speck - By an unstoppable force Dorian - By the truth Doyle - By humility Sikorvsky - By relentless cruelty Yanagi - By inevitability It's how I see it

[@user-su3rf6po2r]

The villain arc is still probably my favorite arc

[@ericsbuds]

im glad you played a bit of dorian talking. his voice actor is great. the voice acting in baki is great in general...

[@hypnoticskull6342]

Fun fact Yanagi had experienced defeat twice before. He lost against Taizan very easily, but he injured him with the poison hand, causing Taizan to die in a few days. After that, Mumon, Katsumi's older brother and Taizan's student, destroyed Yanagi and was the one who put him in prison to begin with

[@amjed.fadhil]

wasn't it juumei kuga whom put yanagi in prison

[@hypnoticskull6342]

@@amjed.fadhil No, it was Mumon, I think. Either way, he lost twice

[@mintifur]

Hey dude, loved your summaries but didn't know if it was the 'flow' of the information or the video length, but it had me lacking compared to OTHER Baki channels I subscribe to. Just my two cents, tho, great vid!! Can't wait for the Jack arc

[@thed_ani]

Dorian is basically a 5th grader bullying 1st graders and proclaiming he is the strongest in the school

[@ilysm2333]

he literally gives me second hand embarrassment

[@babysinclairfan]

Dorian fits into that villain archetype of "Bad guy who's strong enough to fight fairly, but chooses to be a dirty cheater". Other examples are Jagi from Fist of the North Star and Bandit Keith from Yugioh

[@Apemopo]

gotta love it! gotta love that baki! newest season was great and at times gd hilarious in ways i didn't expect!

[@finnish_hunter]

If Yujiro Hanma would come to me and say "You have been defeated", I would be defeated, no fucking around with that guy.

[@Lone-Star2D]

Dorian is the perfect example of "A jack of all trades is a master of none".

[@kadiraydin8641]

Spec is definitely my favorite inmate. He was just a joy to watch and I loved how he accepted his defeat. I don't think his "cheap tricks" were unfair because they said from the beginning everything is allowed.

🎶 I WANT TO KNOW DEFEAT! 🎶

[@emilianohermosilla3996]

What a fantastic analysis!

[@thed_ani]

Defeat in baki ranges from getting half of your jaw punched off and almost dying to blood loss from said punch to getting teeth thrown at you

[@isntbeautiful4950]

You know it’s about to go down when your opponent has an entire theme song playing

[@miceltusav88]

Bruce Lee said it best "I do not fear a man who has practiced a thousand kicks. I fear a man who has practiced one kick a thousand times"

[@phoenixknight74]

Wow I didn't notice the ironic defeats That's awesome

[@Sonu-9]

nice 👍 can't wait for pickel arc analysis

[@SephTheSin]

Thanks, expect it very soon

[@dimabrutalenko5704]

What an insanely good analysis. I’m so grateful to have gotten this video.

Still dont understand why they wanted to experience the feet this much. You could just pay for that bro

[@oskarmichalski7551]

Great video man!!

[@TheGateShallStand]

Still waiting for one of them to come back later for some reason. Dont know why i want it to happen, their arcs are already over in the context, but in their life it only seems like theyre about halfway through.

[@clarenceriley6050]

neat review of things , liked how Doyle had the character growth, was kind of disappointed with how Dorian was such a dirty cheater thought he'd be like a super strong old kung fu master when they showed him, favorite super strong old karate master showed him the error of his ways though.

[@itami04]

Im sold on baki. Imma watch it.

[@johncrusade1270]

Using a weapon as a weakness, but Musashi is excused? Can someone explain?

[@thisinnotmystomach6279]

i think in his case its excused because thats his martial art, while on the other hand dorian for example only uses weapon to play dirty

[@K33176]

Musashi doesn’t use a weapon. His weapon uses him

[@SephTheSin]

It’s all about intent and mindset, Musashi and Motobe fight as warriors, their weapons are an extension of themselves, I talk about the difference in my Musashi video

[@lordbiscuitthetossable5352]

I think part of it is Musashi is from a completely different time period, and was *at least in the manga* an absolute monster whether he was armed or not. By the mangas end, he was able to defeat people with just his imagination, and was one of the few people who probably would’ve killed Yujiro. Because he was still screwing around. That and being a Japanese Samuari? Probably the only character in the series that was inherently undefeatable, otherwise it would mean crapping on the Japanese or some such nonsense

[@aqeebshahbaz3306]

People should react to this I would like to see a person who hasn’t watched Baki see this and what there opinion would be I would watch that✌️

[@CrackpotDesert]

Revenge Tokyo is a Baki Gaiden that follows up with each of the inmates after they met their defeats.

[@SephTheSin]

Yeah but its been five years since it came out and seems to have been glossed over with the Baki Gaiden: Gaia & Sikorsky, so I don't know if it will ever be relevant again, plus it also seemed to be written just to tie into the 2018 anime at the time

[@Rroaj]

Should be noted that the bakigang take no issue fighting against weapons; it's just something they generally look down on; as this arc shows, it makes you weaker than dedicating yourself to your own body, which, in this series, is the strongest weapon. At least until Musashi shows up.

[@kuroshinryu]

Inmates were goated. Which makes their opponents seem even cooler.

[@rivanianx]

Sikorsky is such a jobber, guy lost to Baki, Oliva, Jack and even Gaia who had last appeared pre-timeskip in the original anime.
