Between Baki and Ohma, who wins in Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura? It's one of the most asked questions in the history of martial arts anime, but the gods have finally given everyone a chance to settle this debate once and for all in the first-ever crossover film on Netflix.
In addition to Baki and Ohma, legendary fighters such as Raian Kure, Saw Paing Yoroizuka, Jack Hammer, and Kaoru Hanayama took part in the three-match competition.
Among these fighters, who wins in Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura?
Spoiler Warning: This article includes spoilers for the Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura film, so proceed with caution.
Saw Paing Yoroizuka vs Kaoru Hanayama
The first fight of the three-match competition puts Myanmar's Howling Spirit against the Hanayama Group's second in charge.
While Saw Paing appears to be smaller than Hanayama, he can compete on equal terms with the monster, who attacks like a wild beast.
Saw Paing had the upper hand in the initial stages of their fight, firing blows like a fighting machine gone berserk.
Hanayama, on the other hand, was able to protect himself against Saw Paing's punches and kicks, eventually overturning the bout with his immense strength and force.
Saw Paing attempted to strengthen his body through the Lethwei method, hardening his head in the process. He was able to deflect Hanayama's fist with his head, resulting in Hanayama's broken fingers.
Despite this, Hanayama clenched his damaged fingers into a fist and punched Saw Paing's head repeatedly until he fainted.
WINNER: Kaoru Hanayama
Raian Kure vs Jack Hammer
The engineered assassin of the Kure family clashes with the experimental fighter, whose body has undergone numerous artificial treatments in pursuit of strength.
Raian Kure believes Jack Hammer is a phony boxer who relies on treatments and unnatural body alterations to gain strength.
In other words, Raian hates how lame Jack Hammer is because he expected so much from him. He not only put Jack Hammer’s face on the ground in the first seconds of the match, but he also insulted him from head to toe.
That’s when Jack Hammer remembered how Raian Kure would be his perfect match in the tournament.
They are somehow similar, but Jack Hammer believes that Raian is less than him. He fights back against Raian until he forces him to use the technique called removal.
Raian’s removal eliminates the limits of the brain from his body, allowing him to use his latent abilities at a 100 percent rate.
This results in Raian pummeling Jack Hammer to the ground for quite a while until the latter decides to max out his form.
To keep up with Raian's removal, Jack Hammer transitioned from muscular to fit. It was a fight to the death, and everyone knew they couldn't stop these two fighters unless one of them was dead.
That’s when Pickle, Ohma, and Baki interfered. In the end, it was Raian’s victory against Jack Hammer, who collapsed during their fight.
WINNER: Raian Kure
Baki Hanma vs Tokito Ohma
Ohma and Baki immediately realized that both of them were somehow similar. Since their encounter on the streets, Ohma and Baki felt that strange connection that someday they would face each other in a no-holds-barred match.
True enough, the champion of the underground arena finally clashes with the Ashura, Ohma himself. It was a perfect matchup, as both competitors refused to lose to each other.
It was Baki who made the first move against Ohma, folding the latter’s body in one single attack.
Ohma didn’t see it coming, so he was surprised by Baki’s strange move. It happened twice—thrice—until Ohma decided to use Indestructible.
Ohma counters Baki and it is his time to shine. However, Baki is not one to give up early, as he immediately figured out Ohma’s Indestructible and how to fight against it.
He shifted all his weight in one punch to attack Ohma’s stomach, despite his indestructibility.
The whole fight between Baki and Ohma was a spectacle. They both came prepared, resulting in a good fight.
However, their fight did not end well, as Yujiro Hanma and Kuroki Gensai intervened.
There was no clear winner between Ohma and Baki, as their fight ended in a draw.
