Vol.28 – Baki gold

Variant pack given as a bonus to those who purchased the magazine Weekly Shonen Champion n.20 (April 2011), at the 7-Eleven convenience stores during the campaign period.

Before asking what’s the meaning of a cover that depicts two sweaty men, screaming at each other covered in gold, please remember that is a series where the protagonist kidnaps President George W. Bosch (wink) in order to enter a prison and challenge an inmate; during prison time he fights against a pirate obsessed with freedom named Jun Guevara (wink wink). Meanwhile, a caveman from the Jurassic era awakens from the ice and enters the battle.  Stop with stupid questions please!!

By the way, advertised and hyped for months, the epic clash between Baki and his father Yujiro generated one of the tackiest (and rarest) cover variants that Japan has ever produced. Perfectly paired with the mood of the series I would say.

FUN FACT: the previous week was the turn of Garouden vol.1 – Crossover variant. Two of the rarest variants dropped within 2weeks…not bad.
