History of the Hanma Clan from Baki anime; The clan of beasts

Baki Hanma anime was the first of its kind to bring some of the best bodybuilders and fighters with no limits. And one of the strongest clans in the show is the Hanma dynasty. From Baki to Yujiro, everyone has their own identity and powers. What started with a Son's revenge against his dad became a saga of a boy growing into a mature man with a powerful aura. And the latest in the picture was the collaboration of Baki Hanma with Kengan Ashura. Coming back to the Hanma clan, let's have a look at the history of the same along with their abilities and signature identities. The Hanma clan comes from the Ryuku Islands, also known as modern-day Okinawa. The combat style of the same is similar to ancient Chinese martial arts on steroids. The first generation fighter from the clan, Yuichiro Hanma (grandfather of Baki), used the techniques based on the regions like Udonde which is a legendary move from the Ryukyu royal family. Starting with Yuichiro Hanma, he was a legend without a doubt. At the time of World War II, the madman single-handedly eradicated 2000 American soldiers at the Okinawan island with a single move. This earned him the name of Oni or Devil from all his enemies. Yujiro Hanma is the second-generation fighter from the clan who is also dubbed 'the strongest creature on Earth.' He was known in the country as the killer of his own wife. The anime shows him as the main antagonist, and he has superhuman strength. Once, he stopped an earthquake with a mere punch. And then comes Baki Hanma, who is the protagonist of the show. His only goal in the anime is to surpass his father in terms of strength. And he achieves the same by the end of the anime. Another Hanma member who is decently powerful is Jack Hanma, who is the half-brother of Baki Hanma. Once a great warrior, he destroys everything with self-destructive behaviour.
