In addition, a video message was played by Nobunaga Shimazaki, who played the role of Baki in 'Hanma Baki', who was unable to come to the event due to scheduling conflicts, and he joined Suzuki's voice in the Netflix movie 'Hanma Baki VS Ken'. The production decision for 'Gan Ashura' has been announced.



The impetus for creating this work was the newly drawn collaboration art released in 2020.



Afterwards, when I went out to eat with Mr. Shimazaki, Mr. Suzuki, and the people in charge of both works, we talked about how it would be interesting to do some work instead of just finishing with this, and we decided to make it happen after 4 years. It seems that it has become.

The following comments were made by the person in charge of each work.

Shogakukan “Kengan Ashura” editor Sho Kobayashi:
It started 10 years ago――
A few days after I asked Mr. Itagaki of the Baki series to give me a recommendation for the Kengan Ashura book, I received a phone call saying, ``Hey, Itagaki. Can you bring me the manga now?''
I will never forget the day I met Mr. Itagaki at his office and we talked about manga production and martial arts from late at night until the sky turned white.
Time has passed... At that time, ``Kengan Ashura'', which was recommended to me by my teacher, has become so big that it has many fans all over the world.
That's why, as a way of repaying you...I will challenge you with my fists! !
“Are you going to fight too?”
I know how strong Hanma Baki is, but I can't imagine my Tokita Ouma or Kengankai fighters losing.
This is a proxy war between Akita Shoten and Shogakukan on Netflix.
I'm going to borrow the chests of the warriors in the underground arena, and I'm going to defeat them!

Yuki Yokoi, in charge of “Hanma Baki” in the Akita Shoten Advertising Department:
“Kengan Ashura” has been around since the beginning of its serialization with the message “A great work has begun with “Ura Sunday”! ” I have been following the series since the first episode. Regarding the obi comment that Mr. Kobayashi mentioned, even though I was in charge at the time, I was unaware that Itagaki-sensei would make a comment, and I was conscious that our first collaboration would only happen after I heard the text of the comment from Mr. Itagaki. did. Although their works have many things in common, the worlds of their works have never intersected other than this obi comment.
However, in 2021, the worlds of these works will intersect for the first time as a tribute manga commemorating the 30th anniversary of Baki's serialization. Yabako Sandrovich's deep knowledge of the Baki world, and the depiction of fighting that rivals Darameon's Baki series. It is no exaggeration to say that thanks to the help of both of you, the bridge between the two works has become a reality.
And today, we are pleased to announce that Netflix will be bringing you a collaboration anime between the manga world's largest martial arts organization. This is the work that Mr. Itagaki said in his obi comment that 10 years ago, ``I think we will be able to catch up.'' Characters such as Ouma and Raian have no shortage of ``sex appeal'' and ``movement'' for their opponents.
However, the ``Baki'' series has been a leading force in fighting manga for 30 years. I believe that the underground arena warriors will show off their difference in class. At the end of the battle, King Retsukai will say this. ``The place where Kisama and others are already---the place we passed through 20 years ago.''

“Hanma Baki VS Kengan Ashura” will start distribution on June 6, 2024.
