The plot of this saga tells the story of a great martial arts tournament, which is organized by Mitsunari Tokugawa in the Underground Arena. At the very beginning, Tokugawa meets with various people from the upper classes and tells them to bring the strongest fighters from around the world. He also explains that the prize for the winner will be a great Pankration belt. Masami Kikuchi and Kazuhiro Nakata lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2001. Baki the Grappler Season 2 uses the freedom of animation to tell stories live-action could not attempt.

The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Masami Kikuchi's voice work is a big part of what makes it distinctive. If you have been sleeping on it because of the format, the format is not the thing here.
