The anime crossover of the century is preparing to land this summer as Baki Hanma Vs. Kengan Ashura will arrive on Netflix next month. Since this upcoming anime series isn't based on a manga and/or light novel, the winners of the battles are anyone's guess at this point. Luckily, anime fans can start debating the victors as Netflix has revealed who will be fighting on the side of the son of the Ogre and who will fight on the side of Ohma Tokita.

Here is a breakdown of the upcoming fights that will populate the hard-hitting crossover according to Netflix:

For the upcoming crossover landing on Netflix on June 6th, the series decided to lean into Baki's animation style rather than Kengan's. The latter uses a more CG-animation style in presenting its fights, whereas the son of the Ogre's story is told via a more traditional 2-D style. Led by anime studio TMS Entertainment, the three fights being touted by Netflix are sure to be some of the biggest anime brawls of the year.
