One knows that an anime or animation has potential when its antagonist has presence, personalities can vary in those that tend more towards the serious but if you can play with humorous traits that humiliate the rest of the characters then I think it's better because it makes the character interaction more appealing to an audience.
Yujiro Hanma is a Monster of character, he is a wild beast with a personality that eats the screen, it provokes to see him, one wants to see how he humiliates his rivals, he is the one who is said to be the strongest and visual, sound and demonic aesthetics give him support to all the previous in the Baki sagas and the incredible thing is that he still has a lot to give.
If you still do not know him, I recommend you with all my being to see the Baki Saga from the beginning to see the whole sequence and how this character with a striking personality is established, I can not say serious because it is not at all, the boy is playful cat and mouse style in all the splendor of the phrase.
The following are the most striking aspects of the character:
- The Gift of a Monster:
I really don't know what they fed Yujiro when he was born but whatever it was it had all the protein needed to mold a Monster, even jokingly I wonder if he was born fighting the doctor. The anime itself is known for exaggerating the muscles of the characters to the extreme but Yujiro keeps it balanced which I think is the right thing to do to avoid falling into the funny and grotesque that could be counterproductive.
His physical presence is not one of the most overwhelming in the anime except for a muscular trait that tells us he was born to fight, this is important because each person has skills and flaws that can develop over a lifetime but we always have something in which by nature we excel more than what we are usually born with, it is a gift.
For example many of us are content creators, then a gift we are born with is the imagination that with the tools we can shape it to convey an idea, not everyone is capable of this naturally, the same happens with Yujiro, his gift is to fight and make the most of the martial arts, the detail then is in what are his flaws because I do not see that this monster has any.
- A Personality that Humiliates the rest:
What I consider most attractive of the character is this, the way he humiliates the rest and he does it with basis, sincerely I have seen too many braggarts in the anime but we cannot label Yujiro like that because he proves he is the strongest humiliating not only rivals, but also pulverizes with his words his martial arts.
The above is used very well by the author to generate funny moments, in fact that way of behaving so mocking born of the author's intention to make the viewer laugh, is what I notice because for me is a wonder those moments, I have laughed to no end with the jocosities of Yujiro that in fact is often right with what I think about those scenes, this I will mention in more detail in the area with spoilers.
- He is not a braggart:
The fact that he humiliates many does not mean he is a braggart because I see shows he is the best BUT if he sees a category rival he will let him know, only of course there are so few who could get to this point that in the anime this trait in his personality could go unnoticed but the man when it is his turn to respect well he does and can even get to slight points of admiration for another fighter.
- Part of the Review with Spoilers:
He's not a Showoff because of the respect he shows to Muhammad Ali, a good dialogue scene because boy does Baki have boring and eternal dialogue scenes but in this one Yujiro maintains his power while admiring his opponent and that's a point to recognize that at least in my case comes because that one scene alone had my full positive attention.
It humiliates with all propriety to several of the characters including the author of this story because there is an imaginary training between Baki and a Mantis, those chapters the author struggles to give coherence to what he raises to get the idea to the viewer, with all my soul I did not see neither coherence, I didn't see any sense or logic to that absurd training and Yujiro agrees with me because when he laughs at the imaginary mantis, I laugh with him because LORD YUJIRO YOU ARE FUCKING RIGHT and let's laugh together at the stupid things your son Baki does hahahah.
I dedicate each and every one of my posts and videos to my little dog named princess, we called her chiquito, she is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was valuable and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and soul.
