Some martial arts franchises pride themselves on their gritty realism. Others embrace the flamboyant side of the fighting world with larger-than-life characters. And then there is Baki, where muscular men train by pulling helicopters or crushing diamonds with their hands. Just like the Tekken franchise, Baki built its success on combining realistic martial arts roots with charismatic characters who bend the laws of reality; that’s why Yujiro Hanma coming to Tekken 8 as season 3’s guest character makes perfect sense.
