I wonder if Hokuto Shinken would even work on Pickle, considering he isn't actually human and probably has different pressure points?
Of course Ken could probably just beat the shite out of him, or slice him up with Nanto Shinken. Odds are he could even use Gento Kokin;
Melts you down on the molecular level.
That happens in Riki-Oh, they really need to animate that someday. You've love it Geck it's crazy, Nazi swordsmen, giant war elephants, cyborg fights, using your own intestinal system to strangle people, scrawny wardens out of Cool Hand Luke that grind up people and mix it with inmates food, and can Hulk out, Akira like telekinesis, undead immortal P.T. Barnum.
Finished the latest Baki. Very few changes from the source, they even kept the rape.
I think there was one change but not a big one, when the Kimo stand in told why he went off on Royce, in the manga he said he got pissed at being treated like a "British word for cigarette".
Overall Baki has been very faithful.

I've never read the manga, but the cartoon literally goes on and on how Pickle's neck and head are built to take super-duper-human amounts of force, because he used to walk on four legs.
That explains his spine and very thick skull, and how his brain can't rattle no matter how hard you hit it. But I mean he still has a throat, right? Doesn't look armored.
Actually never mind Miyomoto Mushashi couldn't even slash through his neck, and he cut Yujiro, so clearly he's armored there too.
You know the clche where a master says "You're still ten years away from being able to beat me!"
How many years away is current Baki from Yujiro?
He's what, 16 now? In ten years he'd be 26. But Yujiro would also be past his prime, past 50 and Doppo said a martial artist loses their peak past 50, to which Doppo agreed in his silence.
So what then? Can Baki reach him before his decline by age?
