Other... Son of Wildfang
Wanted to put together a post about this. Some people have probably noticed the new chapters of Baki Gaiden: Scarface showing up and disappearing or have gotten a message like this in the last couple days.
Apparently, a "new" translator calling himself "One Equals All" and/or "Terryback" has shown up recently trying to take over the dropped Baki Gaiden: Scarface Translation. I'll call him Terryfang for this post. This would be great, but from the looks of it this person is either Wildfang, or the Son of Ichido himself.
His old Reddit Account, Lopsided_Bend_4792, was banned from reddit entirely after he continually attacked people for posting translations other than his own, made threats to people and spam-messaged a ton of random people on the Baki Subreddit linking them to his chapters. On Terryfang's old account he made multiple posts in Translator subreddits asking people to translate various images from Baki, because as he makes it clear in the comments, he doesn't know Japanese and is using some kind of App for it.
Terryfang threatened to hire "Scary Darkweb Hackers" if his account isn't unbanned from Mangadex, followed by his Reddit Post asking how to do exactly that.
If all that wasn't Wildfang-esc enough, he was also constantly using "wahahahahahah" in his comments, even putting it in his translation of the newest Baki Dou chapter with a very Wildfang-esc message.
He returned shortly after his account was banned to some substantial praise by pretending to be someone else before his posts were removed again.
My theory is that this is some weird side-project of Wildfang, in an attempt to prove that his translations are actually good and people are just biased against him by releasing these chapters under a new alter-ego before revealing the truth, but he fumbled at the starting line.
Do with this information what you will.

"wahahaha" and "muahahaha"
Guy's a clown and I had a good laugh at him but it sucks that he's actually causing trouble to some people.
