Does the franchise of "Bagi, the Monster of Mighty Nature" consist only of
this one movie or is there anything more to it? Any sequels, series, mangas,
visual novels, "spiritual sequels" (entirely different movie but taking strong
inspiration in it) or any other paraphernalia related to Bagi?

question
bagi
Is there any more of "Bagi, the Monster of Mighty Nature"?


From what I can find, it only is the movie and does not have any other series
as sequel/prequel/etc.

From 1975-1976, Osamu Tezuka also wrote a manga titled _Daichi no Kaoyaku
Bagi_ (大地の顔役バギ), which would probably translate as "Bagi, the Boss of the
Mighty Earth", with "boss" in the sense of "leader of a gang". See also [the
manga's article on Japanese
Wikipedia](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A4%A7%E5%9C%B0%E3%81%AE%E9%A1%94%E5%BD%B9%E3%83%90%E3%82%AE)
(there are no writings on it in English that I can find).

It appears that this manga was incomplete at the time Tezuka stopped writing
it. You can find the one volume Tezuka did complete [on Amazon
Japan](http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E5%A4%A7%E5%9C%B0%E3%81%AE%E9%A1%94%E5%BD%B9-%E3%83%90%E3%82%AE-%E6%89%8B%E5%A1%9A%E6%B2%BB%E8%99%AB%E6%BC%AB%E7%94%BB%E5%85%A8%E9%9B%86-321-%E6%89%8B%E5%A1%9A/dp/4061759213/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398558590&sr=8-1&keywords=%E5%A4%A7%E5%9C%B0%E3%81%AE%E9%A1%94%E5%BD%B9%E3%83%90%E3%82%AE).
It does not look like anybody has translated this manga, ever.

I have not read this manga or watched the movie, but Japanese Wikipedia
appears to suggest that the contents of the manga and movie are mostly
unrelated - the Bagi in the manga is a jaguar, while the Bagi in the movie is
a mountain lion-turned-human (I think?).
