The second cour of the anime "Baki Hanma" will begin streaming worldwide exclusively on Netflix on June 18, 2026. All 12 episodes, covering episodes 14 through 25, will be released at once. The announcement came alongside a new main visual depicting Baki Hanma, Kaoru Hanayama, Izou Motobe, and Pickle facing the cloned swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, who is shown drawing his sword. The series is based on Keisuke Itagaki's manga of the same name, serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion from 2014 to 2018. It is the fourth part of the "Grappler Baki" franchise, following the conflict between Baki and his father Yujiro. The story follows the revival of legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi through cloning technology and his battles with underground arena fighters. The first cour of "Baki Hanma" has been streaming on Netflix since February 26, 2026. The second cour is produced by TMS Entertainment, with Toshiaki Hirano directing, Tatsuhiko Urahata handling series composition, and Shingo Ishikawa on character design. The cast includes Nobunaga Shimazaki as Baki Hanma, Akio Otsuka as Yujiro Hanma, and Naoya Uchida as Miyamoto Musashi.
The main visual for the second cour shows Musashi's eyes reflecting the "value" of his opponents, and the "Chisogahara" extending to Baki's horizon represents the supreme feast Musashi has found in Baki's existence, according to Real Sound Anime. The catchphrase reads: "Cut, cut, cut and climb-that is the solitary path of Musashi!!!"
The story is set in a laboratory deep beneath the Tokyo Skytree owned by Mitsunari Tokugawa, the world's greatest fighting enthusiast. Using cutting-edge science, a clone is created from the remains of the legendary swordsman and revived in the present day. The revival shocks modern Japan and the world, plunging them into a state of emergency.
Additional staff credits include prop designers Yasutaka Moriki and Masahiro Sugiyama, art directors Seiko Akashi and Sachiko Kigasawa, color designer Hiromi Miyawaki, director of photography Tatsuo Noguchi, editor Yuriko Sano, sound director Yasuyuki Urakami, sound effects by Masahiro Shoji, and music by Kenji Fujisawa. The voice cast includes Shinpachi Tsuji as Mitsunari Tokugawa, Masako Nozawa as Kanko Tokugawa, Rikiya Koyama as Retsu Kaioh, Takuya Eguchi as Kaoru Hanayama, Takayuki Sugo as Doppo Orochi, Yoshihisa Kawahara as Katsumi Orochi, Satoshi Shimada as Goki Shibukawa, Yusaku Yara as Izou Motobe, Kenta Miyake as Jack Hammer, Takeshi Kusao as Pickle, and Toru Furuya as narrator.
The first cour opening theme is WANIMA's "Fulboko" and the ending theme is Novel Core's "Mountain Top." Netflix currently streams all episodes from "Baki: The Most Evil Death Row Convicts" through "Hanma Baki: The Strongest Father-Son Fight on Earth" worldwide exclusively.
