Another theme is self - improvement. Baki can be seen as a mentor - like figure for Naruto in some fanfictions, guiding him to become stronger. And Naruto, in turn, can also inspire Baki to be a better person, which is part of self - improvement for both.
Well, one unique aspect is the blend of two very different fighting styles. Naruto has his ninja - based combat with jutsus and Baki has his intense grappling and martial arts. When combined in fanfiction, it creates some really exciting fight scenarios.
Blade Fangs was a Japanese manga created by Itagaki Keisuke. There were four works in total, namely Grappler Blade Fangs, Fanma Blade Fangs, Blade Fangs Path, and Blade Fangs Path 2. The theme of this manga was hand-to-hand combat, and it told the story of the young Blade Fang fighting with strong enemies in various underground arena competitions. The characters in the Blade Fangs series had distinct personalities, compact storylines, and unique styles. This series of comics was well-known in China and was welcomed and loved. The animated version of Blade Fangs also had two seasons and could be watched online. As for the viewing order of Blade Fangs, they could be viewed in the order of Blade Fangs 1, Blade Fangs 2, Fanma Blade Fangs, Blade Fangs Path, and Blade Fangs Path 2.
A fanfic could focus on a young ninja from the Naruto world who is sent to train with Baki's crew to learn a different form of combat. As they train, they face various challenges, both physical and mental, and grow as a fighter while also learning about the different values and cultures in the Baki world.
The most interesting aspect is the clash of different fighting styles. Naruto's ninjutsu - based combat and Baki's grappling are so different. It's exciting to imagine how they would interact. Another aspect is the potential character development. Naruto could learn about a different kind of strength from Baki, and Baki could gain a new perspective on combat from Naruto.
In this fanfic, Naruto and Baki could start off as rivals. Naruto, with his never - give - up attitude, would not back down from a challenge against Baki. Baki, being a confident grappler, would also be eager to prove himself against Naruto. However, as they interact more, they could discover that they have a lot in common. They both strive for strength in their own ways, and they could come to respect each other's abilities. This could lead to a deep friendship where they support each other in future battles.
Another one is 'The Grappler Naruto'. This one imagines Naruto having a grappling - based fighting style similar to Baki. It delves into how Naruto would train in this new form of combat and how it would change his battles. It's quite creative in its take on combining the two universes.
