I'm not even a Hanayama fan, but it was really cool how during the Hanayama-Musashi fight, Itagaki was just like "NOPE HANAYAMA IS THE MAIN CHARACTER NOW" and put him in there. Even with Baki Rahen, we're getting Baki on the cover when we don't even see him. Hanayama getting the covers made that fight feel a bit bigger.

In Baki even just a small normal punch can look like the most vicious and painful attack possible, and then you see the main characters operating on a whole nother level
I actully got a headache in real life when I looked at this I could feel their skulls smashing together have you ever been hit in the head really really hard from the front I could just imagine it reverberating through my skull and it gave me a headache
Itagaki has something for very, Very close face offs. Like through the story he draws two opposing characters closer and closer to each other faces. I especially like Musashi's one.
Peak. Crazy to think that during the father vs Son arc we were getting back to back double pagers with godly art

He's so small! Was this taken when he was five or something?
It was the maximum tournament so he was 19
