* FantasticFightingStyle: Oddly enough for [[EverybodyWasKung-FuFighting this series]] Doppo's fighting style isn't all that unique or special. It's just that the [[TrainingFromHell insane amount of training]] he puts into it [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower makes him]] [[PersonOfMassestruction a walking weapon of mass destruction.]]

* BaldOfAwesome
BaldOfAwesome: Doppo is one of the most badass fighters in the series with a head as smooth as a bowling ball.
* EyepatchOfPowerEyepatchOfPower: Got it after [[BloodKnight Yujiro]][[EyeScream popped it out of his skull]] during a fight.

* IKnowKarate: Will often make it clear to his opponents before hand his fighting style. Justified in that Doppo owns the largest Karate schools in the world with over a million members and has tremendous pride in being a Karateka.

** BlueAndOrangeMorality: Strength isn't the be-all and end all for Yujiro. He does have a life outside of fighting and he's isn't simply the beast he constantly refers to himself as. Outside of fighting he can have respect for people and even get along with others. While Yujiro won't hold back against anyone who challenges him, he generally leaves most of his malice and cruelty inside the "ring" so to speak. In public he usually carries himself as a stoic gentleman. He has refined tastes and excellent manners not to mention being very erudite about various subjects. While Yujiro is an extreme SocialDarwinist he isn't a crazy lunatic [[ForTheEvulz destroying and killing for the fun of it.]]

Added DiffLines:

*HiddenDepths: While at first glance, Yujiro seems very shallow, arrogant, and vain, the truth is a bit more complicated. In his youth he completely believed in survival of the fittest and might makes right. For most of his life he was obsessed with strength and being the strongest. When he did finally become the undisputed "strongest creature on earth" he quickly realized that he had nothing to strive for and that ultimately his strength was meaningless as it cut him off from everyone and everything. While he still does genuinely love fighting and brutalizing people, its implied that a good portion of his attitude and visiousness now stems from his bitterness and isolation at being the strongest in the world.
-> '''Yujiro:''' There is so much I have never experienced like tragedy or loss. You people don't know what it's like to have strength so great that it destroys your dreams. Strength so great that exceeds any human limitation in every part of your life. When you are too strong, everything is within your grasp.

*CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the beginning of the Baki the Grappler series, Yujiro was just an AxCrazy, BloodKnight, [[TheSociopath Sociopath]] who was little more than a VillainSue ManChild who believed that the weak need to be crushed. By the time of the 4th series Way of Baki, Yujiro is more subdued with his blood thirsty tendencies and is shown to be erudite, sophisticated, and insightful. While he will still destroy anyone who gets in his way or crosses him he has shown many shades of being a NobleDemon and can be downright hospitable to his (few)friends, acquaintances, and even capable of chatting casually with people he previously brutalized.

Added DiffLines:

*GoKartingWithBowser: There have been many times where Yujiro has actually had casual and even lighthearted company with the people he had previously hurt or insulted. It seems that in spite of what he's done Yujiro doesn't keep any personal grudges and the others simply know that trying to get revenge would either be useless or suicide.
**Doppo Orochi asked Yujiro out for a drink at a local bar he knew to ask Yujiro's opinion about his son, Kasumi's progresss as a fighter. Not only did Yujiro agree but he even complimented Kasumi's improvement. Orochi even thanked Yujiro for shaming his son Kasumi and forcing Kasumi to change and reach his full potential. Keep in mind that a while back Yujiro kicked [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Doppo's ass,]][[EyeScream took his eye,]][[FlatLine and technically killed him]] for a few minutes before he was revived.

AboveGoodAndEvil: Yujiro doesn't believe in conventional morality and states that strength is everything. From his perspective, weakness is evil while strength is virtue. Of course as he's the strongest man in the world,everyone else is garbage in his eyes. That said....

Jack Hammer is a Determinator.

Added DiffLines:

* The Determinator: Jack just doesn't know when to quit, even by the standards of a cast of Determinators. His overtraining would be suicidal, if not for a mad scientist's steroid cocktails being part of his regimen. He's had his skeleton surgically restructured multiple times to get bigger. [[spoiler: Even having half his face bitten off and waking up in the hospital twice, the second time from a severe coma, he still gets up and goes right back to it.]]

Gouki uses [[AttackReflector aiki/jujutsu]], and a [[ThrowingTheDistraction more]] [[HeyCatch pragmatic]] [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown approach]] than most, to take down more physically imposing foes.

* TheAce: Yujiro is this to absurd levels. Not only is he considered the strongest creature on earth, he is flat out superhuman. Yujiro is so powerful that the only two people who even have a chance against him are his son [[SuperPowerfulGenetics (who carries his special blood)]] and and unfrozen caveman who regularly hunted T-Rexes for food. There are a small circle of fighters that are in the same league as Yujiro and the above mentioned fighters but nobody is on his level.

** After being poisoned, baki started to physically waste away. It should be noted that the poison was meant to kill most people IMMEDIATELY and he lasted more than a week. Not only that but being exposed to other poisons plus the chemicals his bopdy released while he was fighting nullified all the poison in his body. THEN after eating the equivalent of all the weight he lost from wasting away, his body began to create steam and he REGENERATED back to his original, healthy, muscular self as if nothing happened.
