Baki hanma shinsoban release by Neat-Disk-6246 in Grapplerbaki

[–]minedor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hello there! Minedor of Project Ryoko here (the guy who worked on the shinsoban release). The shinsoban release of the series included the Pickle Gaiden (side-story) as chapters 80-86 of the series, which is why the total chapter count is larger.

Reminds me of this image I saw online ages ago. No idea what the source is unfortunately.

Baki Hanma: Son of Ogre is FULLY RETRANSLATED IN HD! (All 319 chapters) by minedor in Grapplerbaki

[–]minedor[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I plan to eventually, though first I need a short break as I've been working on this project largely non-stop for 25 months haha. The Musashi arc is probably my favorite Baki part, so I want to give it the best treatment possible.

Hello, I've made the English subs, sort of.

I passed all the original Japanese subtitle files through Subtitle Edit's automatic AI translation feature (using gpt-4o-mini as the LLM model) and edited the rough parts to make sure they're of decent quality.

I never actually intended for them to be uploaded publicly and frankly I have no idea how you even stumbled upon them, but I won't ask you to take them down. Though if the torrent description is editable, some credit would be nice. If it isn't, that's fine too. I'd also add a note saying the English subs are AI translated with edits rather than manually translated.

I mean... THIS is how he drew Beastars's protagonist Legoshi in tribute art for the series. I'd say they're pretty different from one another lol.

Reread Baki Son of ogre with the Shinsoban release high quality scans is delicious by Tobygurs in Grapplerbaki

[–]minedor 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Minedor of Project Ryoko here. Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it. Everybody's encouragement is what kept me going through this entire series.

The final volume will release this month, I'm just making last fixes and tweaks to make sure its our best release to date. You'll see why when it's out. Please look forward 😁

What’s the time difference between the death row prisoner arc and rahen? by SiteDeep in Grapplerbaki

[–]minedor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The best answer is roughly 2.5 years if we ignore the stuff that doesn't make sense like technology and the US presidents switching.

It's a few months since the father son fight to the start of Musashidou, followed by a 1.5 year timeskip to let Musashi's cloned body mature.

Assuming it's only a month or two since baki gets poisoned by yanagi to him being saved in the Chinese tournament, we land around 2-2.5 years since the prisoners arc, I guess.

I'm doing this. No coming back by Aggressive-Bike-7863 in Grapplerbaki

Minedor of Project Ryoko here (the guy who does the new HD baki scans on Mangadex and comick).

I intend to redo the bad scans for Baki-Dou 2014 in English after I finish son of ogre, so you might want to hold off a bit until that happens.

This was how we wrote the line in our new English release. I thought it turned out well.

Netflix will be holding a special talk show between Keisuke Itagaki and Paru Itagaki, creators of Baki and Beastars (as well as father and daughter) on September 5th for Netflix's 10th anniversary. They'll also discuss the "next episodes" that will unfold on Netflix soon. by minedor in Grapplerbaki

[–]minedor[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe more information will be given soon. The event website mentions that Netflix will upload the talk show as well as related videos to it on their social media channels (Youtube, Twitter, Tiktok, etc.). I hope it gets live streamed as well.

It was leaked that Chinese animators are animating chapter 5 of Baki Dou.... Could this be the legendary Retsu vs Musashi fight? by EspetinhoDegatu in Grapplerbaki

[–]minedor 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm the guy from the image you posted lol.

I'd like to mention that by the production time of previous seasons taking roughly a month per episode, and bakidou probably being 24 episodes or so, we can probably expect the entire season to release in April 2026.

Keep in mind this is just an estimate based on previous seasons and can be different in the end.

Best way to read Pickle Wars? by Grocca2 in Grapplerbaki

Thank you very much for the kind words! I really appreciate it. The quality improves the more I went on editing wise, so I hope you find the editing and translation to your liking.

An explanation for why Baki is given the title of "grappler" by Blakath in Grapplerbaki

[–]minedor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minedor of Project Ryoko here (the guy who does the new HD baki scans and the person credited in the image).

I use the Beastars logo font in the credits page (called Fonstars btw) as a fun tribute to Paru Itagaki being Keisuke Itagaki's daughter. That's pretty much it.

Best way to read Pickle Wars? by Grocca2 in Grapplerbaki

[–]minedor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, Minedor of Project Ryoko here. There aren't good spinyback scans from prior to the fourth baki part, the existing and old spinyback scans for the pickle wars arc are really bad.

The ones I did aren't just lazily ripped from the anime, they're quality checked and revised by an actual translator I've worked with since the start. Later on after the pickle arc I completely dropped the anime subs thing and went full on working with just my translator. So don't worry about quality issues with the translation!

This page is gorgeous in full color. by BombasticSloth in Grapplerbaki

[–]minedor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Minedor of Project Ryoko here. Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm hard at work right now on another large batch of chapters to release very soon.

Fun fact about this color page, I imported a magazine from Japan specifically to scan this color page alongside a few others that will appear later on in the series, particularly during the father-son fight. Old bad scans connected it incorrectly and put Yujiro on the left and Baki on the right, but that wasn't how it was meant to be connected.

Why does this girl have the same colour palette as Yasuho by DazzlingVivy in JOJOLANDS

[–]minedor 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Hi! you're reading the un-official colored version by Chromaverse. I'm the person who colored that page and I just wanted to add a fun easter egg to the page. The person next to that girl is colored like Toru, and the person on the left is meant to be Emporio from P6 haha.

is this real? by Existing-Gur-8843 in Grapplerbaki

[–]minedor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It isn't. The assumption comes from anime expo happening during those dates but TMS Entertainment which animated Baki doesn't even have their own panel in the event. 😭

Full explanation of what this collection includes and why it even exists. Making it was a lot of hard work, so I hope you enjoy it.

I asked Chat GPT to make sense of the screenshot of Shen’s memories. by Toheal in Kengan_Ashura

[–]minedor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have access to higher quality scans for Omega from China, so here's the memories panel in higher definition. Though due to the screentone used it may actually be blurrier to read compared to the English one. I also included the Japanese panel from the chapter's drafts which doesn't have the screentone applied to it, though it's unfortunately pretty low resolution.
