Yujiro Hanma: The Strongest Grappler in Baki the Grappler

Who can take down Yujiro Hanma? Yujiro Hanma is a powerhouse in the world of Baki the Grappler, a manga and anime series known for its intense battle sequences and highly skilled characters. His incredible strength, speed, and fighting skills have made him one of the most formidable characters in the series. Many characters have challenged him, but the question remains: Who, if anyone, could take down Yujiro Hanma?

Notable Contenders

Within the Baki universe, Yujiro Hanma is often portrayed as one of the strongest characters. Several notable contenders have come close to matching his strength and speed, but none have managed to take him down. Here are a few key characters:

Baki Hanma (Yujiro's Son)

As Yujiro's son, Baki has dedicated extensive training to surpass his father's strength and skills. Their battles are central to the storyline, and Baki's determination and growth make him a formidable opponent. While Baki is strong, he has not yet demonstrated the power to defeat his father.

Orochi Doppo (Karate Master)

A master of karate and a highly skilled fighter, Orochi Doppo has shown the ability to take on powerful opponents. While his skill and determination are impressive, they have not been enough to challenge Yujiro's overwhelming might.

Other Grapplers

Various other characters within the Baki universe, including Muhammad Ali Jr. and other introduced later, possess unique abilities and skills. Theoretically, these characters could match Yujiro's strength under the right circumstances, but so far, no one has successfully taken him down.

Crossover Characters

Considering crossover characters from other universes with superhuman abilities, such as Goku from Dragon Ball and Saitama from One Punch Man, have powers that could potentially defeat Yujiro due to their own overwhelming power. However, this raises the question of how these characters would interact with the Baki universe's physics and rules.

Scalability and Analysis

When analyzing Yujiro's power, it's crucial to understand the scales at which his abilities are measured. It is heavily implied that Yujiro can dodge lightning, indicating that he is faster than lightning, which is much faster than Mach 1 (the speed of sound).

In the VSBattle Wiki, it is stated that lightning travels at Mach 1282.798834, which is described as Massively Hypersonic. Additionally, Yujiro's aura has been described as 8-C, with the possibility that it might be even higher than this.

When scaling Yujiro's capabilities, he stands above several other powerful verses:

Tokyo Revengers

Yujiro is far stronger than the strongest character in Tokyo Revengers, Manjiro Sano. While Sano could potentially be scaled to Small Building and Hypersonic, Yujiro is stronger than a nuclear bomb and could scale even higher than High 8-B, potentially near High 7-C.

Demon Slayer

The strongest character in Demon Slayer, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, is also Massively Hypersonic but does not have the physical power to even touch Yujiro. Even Musashi Miyamoto, the strongest swordsman in the Baki series, could not cut Yujiro's neck.

Dr. Stone and Spy x Family

Both Dr. Stone and Spy x Family have characters who are incredibly strong, but neither has been able to match Yujiro's power. In Dr. Stone, Tsukasa Shishio is powerful, but not strong enough to even touch Yujiro. In Spy x Family, Yor Forger could destroy a speeding car and hit a tennis ball at Supersonic speed, but still falls short of defeating Yujiro.

Defeating Verses

While Yujiro can defeat many verses, there are some that he finds challenging:

Black Clover and One Piece

Black Clover is averse with Licht, who has the power of light, and his attacks can travel at the speed of light. Even if Yujiro is faster than lightning, he is nowhere near light speed. Xiaoan, a Light Mage from Black Clover, once stated that Licht's speedblitz was confirmed to be Country Level, capable of destroying the Clover Kingdom.

One Piece, specifically the Dressrosa Arc, features Luffy, who outpaces even Doflamingo and proves faster than Pre-Timeskip Zoro, who is also faster than Kuma’s light-beam. Additionally, Haku from Naruto, who operates at light speed, poses a significant challenge. Even Kisame from Naruto is formidable and enough to deter Yujiro.

Conclusion

The reality is that someone significantly stronger than Licht or even below his level is the only potential challenger for Yujiro Hanma. While there are many strong characters in the Baki universe and beyond, the overwhelming power of Yujiro makes him a difficult target.
