Netflix reveals long-awaited anime crossover, and fans are in shock NetflixNetflix has revealed a knockout punch of a crossover, with two beloved anime about fighting set to square off against each other. During Anime Japan 2024, Netflix announced that Baki Hanma and Kengan Ashura would be duking it out to see which is truly the best anime show. Both sports anime focused on hand-to-hand combat, they make an ideal pairing for an epic mish-mash. Baki Hanma, currently midway through Season 2, follows the titular fighter on a journey from underground bareknuckle grappling right up to legitimate martial-arts championships. Kengan Ashura is a little darker, focusing on a gladiatorial circuit overseen by rich benefactors where a novice prizefighter rises through the ranks. They\u2019re two of the best anime if you want to see some bloody combat, and Netflix is putting them in the ring together to see who emerges as the true champion. Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura will be an anime movie, and fans can\u2019t believe it\u2019s finally happening. \u201cI actually can\u2019t believe this is happening,\u201d one fan exclaims on X, formerly Twitter. \u201cOh my God, I can\u2019t believe this, so hype! Biscuit vs Julius, clash of the muscle titans,\u201d another adds. The subject evokes other popular crossovers, like the genre-defining fighting game X-Men Vs Street Fighter from 1996. \u201cThis is probably one of the best crossovers since [the] Cyclops and Ryu handshake,\u201d another X account points out. Seeing Baki Hanma and Kengan Ashura on-screen together is surreal. Such a project shows the investment and ambition of Netflix\u2019s anime output, with the company demonstrating that if there\u2019s keen interest, anything can happen. We\u2019ll find out who will reign supreme on June 6. In the meantime, check out our guides to Demon Slayer Season 4 and My Hero Academia Season 7 for more great upcoming releases. I wonder if we\u2019ll ever see Tanjiro and Deku team up? One can dream!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
