Baki Hanma, having secured his place as the "World's Strongest Boy," finds himself growing restless and bored with his daily life. After ending his long-standing feud with his powerful father Yuujirou, Baki continues to reign at the Kourakuen Underground Arena, but now defeats his opponents with a hidden sense of fatigue. His friends and mentors also struggle to adjust to this calmer period, going through their training sessions with little drive. A major shock hits Japan when it is revealed that a long-term scientific project has succeeded in cloning the legendary samurai Musashi Miyamoto. The revived warrior eagerly seeks to test his strength against Baki and Tokyo's strongest fighters, though he has difficulty adapting to the modern world. Holding onto traditional ideas of honor and lethal combat, Miyamoto's outdated views clash with today's more peaceful society. As the resurrected samurai works his way through this unfamiliar world by confronting Baki's allies, he eventually provokes a confrontation with the young champion. Baki, energized by the prospect of an exciting new challenge, prepares to face his opponent head-on.
