The Baki franchise has never been subtle. From bone-crunching fights to larger-than-life warriors, the anime has built its reputation on delivering chaos in the most thrilling way possible.

Over the years, it has turned Baki Hanma into one of the most iconic fighters in modern anime, with fans always waiting for the next impossible opponent.

Now, Netflix is expanding the saga once again with BAKI-DOU: The Invincible Samurai, a brand-new installment based on Keisuke Itagaki’s legendary manga universe. And while fans know another brutal chapter is coming, the streaming giant is finally giving viewers a closer look at what’s next.

So when exactly is this new series arriving, and what does Netflix’s latest reveal confirm?

Netflix has officially released the first trailer for BAKI-DOU: The Invincible Samurai, confirming that the new series will premiere on February 26, 2026. The show will arrive with all 13 episodes, giving fans the chance to binge the entire arc as soon as it drops.

The trailer signals the next evolution of the franchise following the conclusion of Baki Hanma’s intense battle against his father, Yujiro Hanma. With that legendary conflict behind him, Baki’s journey is moving toward a new kind of challenge, one that promises to shake up the underground arena once again.

But if Baki has already faced the strongest creature alive, what kind of enemy could possibly raise the stakes even higher?

The story picks up after Baki’s showdown with Yujiro, as Baki and the other elite fighters are left feeling restless without a worthy opponent to face. That changes when a mysterious plan begins to unfold deep beneath Tokyo Skytree, 364 meters underground, leading to the resurrection of Japan’s most legendary swordsman, Musashi Miyamoto.

As fighters like Doppo Orochi, Jack Hanma, and Kaoru Hanayama prepare to return to battle, Baki also steps forward, ready to meet the challenge head-on. This sets up an unprecedented clash between Baki, the strongest underground fighter, and Musashi, a master samurai whose combat style is unlike anything the modern arena has seen.

Netflix also revealed the English dub cast, with Troy Baker voicing Baki and SungWon Cho voicing Musashi. The series will include cameo appearances from The Miz, Nolan Hansen, Matt Mercer, Charles White Jr. (Cr1tikal), and Lena Lemon.

The music lineup has also been confirmed, with WANIMA performing the opening theme 'FURUBOKO' and Novel Core performing the ending theme 'Mountain Top', both teasing the emotional and philosophical intensity behind Baki’s next brutal arc, adding beauty to Netflix's anime catalogue.
