The Baki Hanma anime series released its first trailer for the 2nd season of the anime, this time featuring the Pickle Wars arc!
This season of Baki Hanma will be released in two separate parts, and the first part of the season is the “Tale of Pickle and Pickle War Saga”, which will be debuting on July 26. The second part of the season is dubbed “The Strongest Father and Child Quarrel”, which is actually the last arc of the Baki Hanma series, possibly meaning we’ll be seeing the finale to Baki Hanma on August 24!
The anime’s opening theme song is “The Beast” by Wagakki Band, and the ending theme song is “WILDER”, credited to Youtuber Hikaru and Sota Hanamura of the band Da-iCE. The anime has cast Takeshi Kusao as Pickle, and Nobuo Tobita as Albert Payne, the doctor that revived Pickle from his frozen state.
