As if bound by fate, five of the world’s most dangerous convicts escape from their respective prisons and converge at Mitsunari Tokugawa’s coliseum, where they seek but one thing: the taste of defeat. It is then Mitsunari who presents them with what they all desire—17-year-old Baki Hanma, the winner of the "most historic tournament ever," along with four other hand-selected opponents. On the spot, it is decided that a five-versus-five battle will ensue between the fighters. The combat can take place anytime, anywhere, and without any restrictions. With each contender hellbent on gauging their strength against a worthy adversary, a unique no-holds-barred, out-of-the-ring tournament erupts in the heart of Tokyo. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Background

Baki: Most Evil Death Row Convicts Special Anime was bundled with the limited edition 14th volume of Baki-dou. However, the OVA does not adapt from Baki-dou; rather, it adapts from the story arc of the same name featured in Baki: New Grappler Baki. The OVA serves to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the original manga series and marks the franchise’s first original animation in over 15 years. Around the OVA’s release, it was announced that a full television anime adaptation would follow suit. Canonically, Baki: Most Evil Death Row Convicts Special Anime succeeds the 2001 anime series Grappler Baki; it precedes the 2018 Netflix original net animation Baki.
