I can only assume the writers are running out of ideas. The karate / kung-fu "factoids" get weirder and more far-fetched every episode. Like "just imagine you have extra joints and your punch will break the sound barrier - but the air will smash yer hand up" - yeesh..
The whole cave-man plot that comes and goes is just totally silly - with some grade-school fantasy archeology attempt smeared over it.
Also - the plot of U. S. President's (obviously Obama in a very racist portrayal) kowtowing to Baki's dad because he is some super-duper martial artist is not just absurd but also shows some kind of Japanese nationalist jealousy - just a cheap shot.
They need to get back to the basics. How about different cultures martial weapons pitted against each other?
