Baki Hanma vs The Grandfather: Hanma Family | 2025 | Who Is Stronger?

When the name Hanma family comes to mind, two names that probably come first to people's minds are Baki Hanma and his father, Hanma Yujiro. The two are the embodiment of strength in the world of Baki. But what if I told you there's another powerhouse in the family, one who is just as dangerous, if not more? That's right-Baki Hanma's grandfather, the legendary "Old Man Hanma" who stands as such a figure that he is powerful enough to rival anybody in that family.

Now, let's break it down. We all know Baki is a beast. The man has fought tooth and nail against some of the scariest and most skilled fighters in the world, constantly fighting to push his limits further. But even he struggles to surpass his father, Yujiro, who is widely considered the strongest creature on Earth. Baki’s dedication to his training and the fight to surpass his father is what makes him such a unique character in the series.

Then there's his grandfather—the man who set the bar for strength in the Hanma bloodline. He's not only a historical figure in Baki's life, he's a legend unto himself. We haven't seen him as much in the very front lines of battle compared to his son or grandson, but his name precedes him. His strength is almost mythological. The old man doesn't just represent physical prowess; he represents an era of power untouched, even by modern-day Hanmas.

Now, the million-dollar question: who is stronger out of Baki and his grandfather? Let's put things into perspective. Baki has been fighting his whole life against some of the most brutal and skilled fighters. His training is relentless, his spirit indomitable. He has even taken on Yujiro in the past, though he has never quite managed to surpass his father's raw strength. But Baki does have one major advantage: adaptability. He is always in transition, seeking new ways to fight and grow stronger or to equate with the level of whoever dares get in his way.

Not so in the case of his grandfather. The power that the old man possesses does not come down to the flexing of muscles or the count of triumphs in duels but in pure, stubborn experience. He's been through decades of combat, saw and fought the best of the best. His body is a well-oiled machine honed through more than training; it was honed by survival. The difference is the fighting style of the grandfather emanates from an older and most brutal form of martial arts that does not depend on flashy moves or showmanship but on pure and devastating technique.

So, who's stronger? If you put them in a head-to-head fight, the experience and mastery that the old man has over his body would give him an edge. However, it would be very wrong to count Baki out. Among his strong points is the ability of Baki to evolve and adapt right in the middle of a battle. He has a way of figuring out his opponents' weaknesses and then exploiting them. Baki may not be as powerful as his grandfather, but he's much more creative and unpredictable in the way he fights.

Another factor to consider is the emotional drive of each fighter. This is an emotional drive for Baki to beat his father-a deep, almost obsessive need to prove himself. This drive makes him a force to be reckoned with, even if he's not always the most powerful person in the room. Conversely, his grandfather has, in a way, done it all. He doesn't fight to prove his worth; he fights just for the love of overcoming.

Ultimately, the answer isn't quite as black-and-white. Strength comes in so many forms, and Baki and his grandfather each have their own. If it is merely a question of pure physical power, perhaps the grandfather has an edge. But if it involves adaptability, strategy, and sheer will, then Baki is definitely the force to be reckoned with that might just surprise anyone-even his legendary grandfather.
