Los Angeles, Calif., February 4, 2026 - TMS Entertainment today revealed a new trailer for BAKI-DOU: The Invincible Samurai, which will premiere exclusively on Netflix on February 26, 2026. Based on the manga by Keisuke Itagaki, originally serialized in Weekly Shōnen Champion, BAKI-DOU: The Invincible Samurai continues the story following “The Biggest Father-Son Fight in History,” with the anime's production once again coming from TMS Entertainment, returning after their work on BAKI and Baki Hanma.
With weapons now permitted in the Underground Arena, legendary warriors gather to challenge the resurrected Musashi Miyamoto, widely regarded as history's strongest swordsman. Fan-favorite fighters, including Doppo Orochi, Goki Shibukawa, Sea King Retsu, and Yujiro Hanma, return to the battlefield, while the trailer also highlights Baki's continued evolution as he confronts a new level of strength in the wake of Musashi's return. With the stakes higher than ever, BAKI-DOU: The Invincible Samurai is set to bring the franchise to even greater heights!

It was also announced today that WANIMA will perform the opening theme, “FURUBOKO,” and Novel Core will perform the ending theme, “Mountain Top.” Both artists shared comments on their excitement to contribute to the series and reflect on the cultural impact of the BAKI franchise.
WANIMA:
“I grew up reading and watching BAKI from a young age, captivated by its world beyond common sense and its many iconic scenes, often reenacting them with my friends.
For the Musashi Miyamoto arc, I wrote this song by overlapping the idea that ‘one's way of life itself is a battle’ with the feeling of continuing to stand up, even after being completely beaten down. I'm truly happy and grateful to be involved in this work.”
Novel Core:
“I am truly honored to be entrusted with the ending theme for BAKI-DOU: The Invincible Samurai. Yujiro is the strongest—and therefore the loneliest. Writing from Baki's perspective as he seeks the source of that strength, I titled the song ‘Mountain Top’ to reflect the cost of strength, like how the air grows thinner the closer you get to the summit. The philosophy of strength that Baki has long portrayed is woven into the lyrics. I believe it resonates with the drama and intensity of the fierce battles against Musashi. I hope viewers enjoy discovering the many musical details and hidden elements throughout the track, alongside the anime itself.”
With less than a month until its global launch, anticipation continues to build among BAKI fans worldwide as they await the anime's take on some of the franchise's most iconic bouts!
Synopsis:
Deep beneath the Tokyo Skytree lies a secret laboratory owned by Mitsunari Tokugawa, the world's greatest combat enthusiast. There, a forbidden experiment is about to take place…
Using cutting-edge scientific technology, the experiment seeks to clone and resurrect the legendary swordsman Musashi Miyamoto from his remains, bringing him back into the modern world.
Known as the ultimate warrior—the sword saint, the peerless master whose name embodies every title of strength and praise imaginable—Musashi's return sends shockwaves through modern-day Japan, and soon, the entire world, plunging it into a state of crisis.
Baki, Yujiro, and the underground arena's fiercest fighters—warriors who live solely for battle—are all drawn into this time-transcending showdown.
The ultimate battle to determine the strongest in history now begins…!!
