5	* CelebrityVoiceActor: In the Latin American Spanish dub of the 2018 series, the titular Baki is voiced by the Mexican TV actor and former singer Creator/AlfonsoHerrera, which is a quite unusual casting move for an anime dub in Mexico, being ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi'' and ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'' the few times a celebrity dubbed an anime. For American viewers, he also known as Hernando in ''Series/Sense8''. In the same way, Speck is voiced by the journalist and Youtuber Alex Montiel, albeit he already did some voice acting before.
6	* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: For Latin American Spanish viewers, the 2018 TV series is the first adaptation of the manga being translated to Spanish, as neither the manga nor previous TV series were either dubbed or translated before. This cause some problems, as the 2018 does some mention about the previous arcs which were already covered in either the manga and previous animated adaptations.
7	* TheOtherDarrin:
8	** The English dub for the 2018 anime adaptation of the manga had a completely different English dub cast from the 2001 adaptation that was licensed by Creator/{{Funimation}}. Coincidentally enough, two of the voice actors (Creator/KyleHebert and Creator/TroyBaker) had minor roles in the 2001 anime adaptation when it was licensed by Funimation. Later, Creator/SentaiFilmworks used their own Houston-based voice cast for the 2021 home media release.
9	** For the tournament arc of the 2018 anime, Creator/KyleMcCarley replaced Creator/VicMignogna as Gouki.
10	** In the Latin American Spanish dub of the tournament arc of the 2018 anime, Creator/RicardoTejedo replaces Creator/CarlosSegundo as Yujiro Hanma, although Segundo returns again in ''Baki Hanma''.
11	* PlayingAgainstType:
12	** In the Latin American Spanish dub and, [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 while not being]] [[Anime/DragonBallSuper the first time he plays a villain]], Creator/JoseGilbertoVilchis as the SmugSnake Sikorsky is this, considering he normally voice hot-blooded heroic roles.
13	** In the same dub, Creator/JoseAntonioMacias as the cold and brutal Retsu Kaioh, compared with voicing the ButtMonkey or more laughable heroes and anti-heroes, like Film/{{Deadpool\|2016}} or [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Mousse]].
14	* ReferencedBy: Chapter 25 of ''Manga/TheDangersInMyHeart'' features an unseen, draft of ''Baki'' during a work-study group trip at [[Magazine/ShonenChampion Akita Shoten]]. Episode 5 of the anime adaptation presents the draft as Baki's fight with Musashi. Later in Chapter 76, Ichikawa's sister Kana uses Yujiro's "Become a woman he can't consume" blessing (While apparently doing Yujiro's iconic stance).
15	* WriteWhatYouKnow: Considering that Keisuke Itagaki has been practicing martial arts since he was a teenager, it only makes sense that his greatest work is based all around martial arts.
