Baki the Grappler is a shonen manga revolving around Baki Hanma's quest to become the strongest grappler in the world, thus taking the title from his father, Yujiro Hanma, in addition to gaining the love of his psychotic mother. It was originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion from 1991 to 1999, lasting 42 volumes, and followed by two sequel series, New Grappler Baki and Baki: Son of an Ogre. Probably one of the most over-the-top fighting mangas to ever be written. If it didn't take it self seriously you would swear it was a parody of martial arts shonen manga.
