Following the climactic father-son battle with Yujiro, Baki and other fighters face a new challenge — the revival of legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi beneath Tokyo Skytree. With unmatched speed and deadly skill, Musashi steps into the underground arena to take on fighters like Doppo Orochi, Jack Hanma, and Kaoru Hanayama.

Visually, the anime keeps its gritty edge, with high-stakes combat and fight choreography that makes every strike feel weighty and precise. This season shifts the tone from revenge-driven drama to strategic, master-versus-master showdowns.
Fans can look forward to seeing Baki, Musashi, and returning favorites like Doppo Orochi, Jack Hammer, and Kaoru Hanayama back in action. With TMS Entertainment handling production, the series promises the same intense animation quality that defined previous seasons.
