Netflix marks the one-month countdown to the worldwide premiere of anime film, "Baki Hanma VS Kengan Ashura", today (6 May), dropping a trailer of just under two and a half minutes that highlights three high-stakes battles that will determine the strongest fighter in this combined universe.  

The clash between two of the biggest fight-manga titles premieres on Netflix worldwide on 6 June. 

Directed by Toshiki Hirano, the film features Baki Hanma of the "Baki" series and Ohma Tokita of "Kengan Ashura" coming face-to-face for the first time. 

The animation production is by TMS Entertainment. 

The film is based on the mangas – "Baki the Grappler" by Keisuke Itagaki and "Kengan Ashura" by Yabako Sandrovich.

Nobunaga Shimazaki voices Baki opposite Tatsuhisa Suzuki as Ôma Tokita. 

"Baki Hanma vs Kengan Ashura" was the highlight of Netflix’s anime showcase at AnimeJapan 2024 at the end of March. 

Netflix called the new film a “groundbreaking collaboration”. 

Netflix streams both "Baki Hanma" and "Kengan Ashura". 

The Baki martial arts manga series, published in Akita Shoten’s Weekly Shonen Champion, has sold over 85 million copies. 

The series tells the stories of various fighters, centered on the life-and-death clash between protagonist Baki Hanma, the youngest underground fighting champion, and his father Yujiro Hanma, the “strongest creature in the world”. 

"Kengan Ashura", from comics website Ura Sunday and the comics app MangaOne, is about humble office worker Kazuo Yamashita who encounters mysterious martial artist Ohma Tokita and gets wrapped up in the “Kengan” matches, where corporations settle business disputes by betting large sums on seasoned fighters.
