Tokugawa pointed out that Jack has learned from his defeats and has changed for better. Jack now looks more mature, calmed and composed. Therefore, he created an original fighting style 'Goudou', which consists in using his signature move: biting. He understood that he needs to learn more fighting. This is likely due to his lineage as a Hanma and the son of Yuujirou.Īfter being defeated by Izou Motobe, Jack reformes himself and understands he will never be as strong as he wanted, focusing only in brute force. Although he has shown himself to be a bit of a combat genius from time to time (as he was able to counter Shibukawa's Aiki). Jack's intelligence is relatively average. When he first meet her in the Maximum Tournament, he flirted with her, although he might have only done this to provoke his brother. Jack also seems to have some feelings for his younger brother's girlfriend, Kozue. He also has perfect table manners and sometimes feeds the koi with little old man Tokugawa. He learned to calm down and grow friendlier towards others. Following his defeat at the hands of Baki, he became more humble and amicable towards his half-brother. He sees his brother, Baki Hanma, as a rival, but also likes and cares for him deep in his heart as they have the same goal in surpassing Yuujirou. He almost out-savaged Pickle during their fight and the caveman came to see him as a wasp, the only creature he fears. Jack can indeed seem very frightening to his enemies: for example, he startled Pickle after Jack lost to him, because there is nothing in the wild that prepared the caveman to the sight of a prey seemingly coming back from the dead for a rematch. He refuses to hold back against his opponents and, speaking of behavior, he prefers to act like a wild animal rather than a true fighter, as especially shown how he bites his opponents during their fights, making him even more animalistic. He doesn't know many techniques and often fights head-on. He is too obsessed with beating Yuujirou and avenging his mother, to the point where he is blinded by that dream. He trains too much for his body to handle, forcing him to resort to steroids and other medical methods in order to keep his strength growing steadily. Also, it can be said that he is sometimes too confident in his strength. Even having half his face bitten off by Pickle and waking up in the hospital twice, the second time from a severe coma, he still gets up and goes right back to it. He's had his skeleton surgically restructured multiple times to get bigger. His overtraining would be suicidal, if not for a mad scientist's steroid cocktails being part of his regimen. Jack is an incredibly determined and stubborn person he just doesn't know when to quit. After taking super steroids that made himself beyond unstable, Jack turned into a monster without balance who only cares about becoming stronger to take revenge.

Jack's driving force is wanting to defeat his father, Yuujirou Hanma, to avenge his mother who was raped by him.

3.2.1 Most Evil Death Row Convicts Saga.

In the fifth manga series, he is also known as the 'Biting Cyborg' (噛みつきサイボーグ, Kamitsuki Saibōgu). His ringname is Jack Hammer (ジャック・ハンマー, Jakku Hanmā). In the English dub of the second anime series, his name has been changed to Jack Xamma because of dub issues (pronounced 'Zah-mah'). Like his brother, Baki Hanma, he has since childhood wished to surpass his father in strength and martial ability. He's a pitfighter from Canada and the son of Yuujirou Hanma and Diane Neil, a Canadian United Nations operative who Yuujirou met during the Vietnam War. Jack Hanma (ジャック範馬, Jakku Hanma) is a fictional character from the Baki the Grappler series. A shame most of the rest of the franchise is trapped in litigation over its ownership and distribution.I never once planned to live a long life! I've long been ready to exchange the strongest body ever for death.

Macross also deserves mention for being the source material for Robotech, the 80s English-language show that introduced a great many audiences to anime.Īmong the best of the Macross follow-ups is Macross Plus, an OVA with all the elements that made Macross great, a love triangle, spectacular aerial and spatial combat, and some speculations about life in the future, at full boil. The first installment in the franchise, Super Dimension Fortress Macross, premiered in 1982, a few years after the first Gundam came on the air, and despite the superficial similarities between franchises, giant robot warfare, armies in space, etc., Macross sported a flavor of its own that was a touch more personal and emotional, rather than the large-scale politics that drove the Gundam shows. If Mobile Suit Gundam was the Father of mecha anime and Evangelion the Son, Macross is at the very least the Holy Ghost.
