Summary
- Netflix dropped the official trailer ahead of the series’ global debut later this month
- The preview highlights the clash between modern martial arts and the resurrected swordsmanship of Musashi
- High-energy tracks from WANIMA and Novel Core set the tone for the new arc
Netflix has officially unveiled the main trailer for Baki-Dou: The Invincible Samurai, offering the most extensive look yet at the next violent chapter in Keisuke Itagaki’s martial arts saga. Scheduled to hit the streaming platform worldwide on February 26, the trailer establishes the terrifying stakes of the new arc, where modern bare-knuckle brawlers must face a weapon-wielding legend brought back from the grave.
The footage opens with a shocking announcement at the Underground Arena: the ban on weapons has been lifted. This rule change sets the stage for the entry of Miyamoto Musashi, the legendary samurai resurrected through a secret cloning project deep beneath the Tokyo Skytree. The trailer highlights a brutal clash between eras, showcasing Musashi’s godlike swordsmanship as he dismantles modern fighters. Unlike previous tournaments, the introduction of live blades means that defeat now carries the immediate threat of death.
Alongside the brutal action, the trailer previews the series’ high-octane soundscape. The opening theme “FURUBOKO” by WANIMA and the ending track “Mountain Top” by Novel Core drive the intensity of the animation. The announcement also confirmed a stacked English dub cast featuring Troy Baker and WWE superstar The Miz, ensuring the international release matches the furious energy of the Japanese original.
