Fans of the recently added Netflix series Baki Hanma are wondering if there will be a fifth season, which would bring the total number of seasons for this particular Baki anime to five. Here’s everything you need to know about Keisuke Itagaki’s bizarre martial arts universe Baki, the fifth season of which just aired.
Netflix has confirmed that a fifth season of Baki is in the works, but the service has not yet revealed when viewers can expect the new episodes to debut. While it was speculated that the second season will premiere before the end of 2022, it is becoming increasingly evident that this is not the case as December approaches with still no word about the upcoming season.
When Will The Baki Season 5 Be Available?
Unfortunately, as of this article’s writing, there is no officially confirmed release date for Baki Season 5 from either Netflix or the anime’s adaptation crew. While late March 2022 saw Netflix say that the season was coming and was already in production, no word has since come out about the smash-hit anime series.
Considering that the Baki series is often ranked as one of Netflix’s top anime offerings, the news of its renewal was not unexpected. Despite the previously mentioned renewal and in-production announcement, fans have been left in the dark for nearly all of 2022.

If Baki Season 5 had begun production by the end of March 2022, then viewers may hope to see the season premiere by the end of June 2023. Trailers and release dates are usually announced no more than two months before a series is available on Netflix. A June 2023 release timeframe is reasonable, given that the production timeline will soon surpass a year of verifiable activity.
Synopsis Of Season 5 Of Baki
After Baki defeats Biscuit Oliva, scientists around the world unveil the primordial man Pickle. Pickle states that he is sent to Mitsunari Tokugawa, where he faces off against a plethora of formidable soldiers. We would love to see Pickle, a pivotal figure in the Baki universe, make an appearance on our television screens. Baki must also face off against the ominous Ogre.
To the greatest extent possible, the upcoming season will revolve around Baki’s feud with Pickle. If the upcoming season’s storyline is titled “Pickle Wars,” it’s not out of the question that further Hanma family members may be drawn into the fray.
What To Anticipate (Speculative)
The protagonist of Season 5 of Baki will almost definitely still be trying to beat his father, Yujiro Hanma. Baki accomplished this feat in the previous season by defeating Biscuit Oliva in a prison fight to become the next “Unchained.” Baki ultimately prevailed over Oliva and won the Unchained championship after a lengthy and arduous fight.

A new foe appears to have been put up for the young warrior before he faces his father in the previous season. A perfectly preserved caveman and a dinosaur were found fighting under a nuclear waste site in Colorado in the previous season.
From the Season 5 trailer, viewers learned that this prehistoric man’s name is Pickle and that the upcoming story arc will be known as the Pickle Wars. With this knowledge, the future season will presumably revolve around Baki’s feuds with Pickle. With an arc entitled “Pickle Wars” for the future season, it’s feasible that additional members of the Hanma family will be drawn into the battle as well.
