Fans of the martial arts anime series “Kengan Ashura” have reason to celebrate as the show is set to make a triumphant return with its eagerly awaited Part 3, also referred to as Season 2, scheduled to grace Netflix screens in September 2023. Here’s a comprehensive overview of what to expect from this upcoming installment.
The Origins and Premise of Kengan Ashura
“Kengan Ashura,” a Netflix Original anime, draws its inspiration from the manga of the same name penned by Yubako Sandrovich. The series transports viewers to the historical Edo period of Japan, where intense gladiatorial combat takes center stage. Wealthy and influential businessmen hire combatants to participate in battles for supremacy, embodying a winner-takes-all ethos.
The narrative introduces Tokita Ohma, an explosive newcomer who rises to prominence by obliterating his adversaries with remarkable ease. As his reputation grows, fighters from across the arena clamor for a chance to challenge him. Representing the Yamashita Trading Co., Ohma enters the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, ready to put his skills to the ultimate test.
Part 2 Culmination and Unexplored Storylines
The conclusion of Part 2 (Season 1 – Part 2) saw Ohma triumphing over Raina in the second round and advancing to the third round or quarter-finals. With two more rounds yet to unfold – the semi-finals and finals – a substantial portion of the narrative remains untold. The anticipation for how the plot unfolds beyond this point has been a driving force behind fans’ excitement.
Kengan Ashura Season 3
The renewal status of “Kengan Ashura” for Part 3 has been officially confirmed by Netflix, ending a two-and-a-half-year wait for enthusiastic followers.
