So like any other anime lover, we are seizing the opportunity to disclose Season 2 details. We will discuss what to expect from its highly anticipated return. But if you are not a fan of blood thirsty action scenes, you can check out our recent take on I Am the Villain’s episode 8 review. Now without any further ado, let’s get started!

The Setting of Kengan Ashura

The anime focuses on Kengan combats, in simple words its the Japanese version of gladiator fights. This tradition is deeply rooted in Japanese culture since Edo period. The anime showcases rich and powerful people hiring fighters for deadly and ruthless fights.

These powerful people use such fighters to resolve their personal and professional disputes by staking someone else’s life. Our main protagonist, Ohma Tokito gets hired by Yamashita Kazuo, who is an ordinary employee of Nogi Group.

Yamashita does this to secure his corporate rights. But Ohma turns out to be one of the best players Yamashita has ever selected. But after knowing that Tokito has some super human abilities, more and more bidders come to hire him. This fuels the desire in Ohma to become the best Kengan figher.

A Brief Recap of Kengan Ashuras Season 1

The first season of Kengan Ashura kicked off with an immediate qualification of 28 brutal and powerful fighters. This qualification left many other fighters including Tokito Ohma for fighting tooth and nail for the remaining spots.

Moreover, the first season also introduces us to the shaddy dealings of the Kengan Association and its Chairman Katahara Metsudo. The climax included Tokito’s transformative moments when he starts to have visions of his father. These visions unlocked hidden abilities which proved to be a turning point for Tokito against Raian.

What to Expect from Kengan Ashura Season 2?

The first season was centered around introducing intense battles to the viewers and how the Kengan Association works. In season 2, we can expect that the focus might shift towards individual stories of the main characters.

This leads us to deduce that the makers might give us some more glimpses of Ohma’s life and his past. One thing we are sure about that the show is known for its violent fights so season 2 will likely showcase even more brutal fights in the name of the Nogi Group.

How Many Episodes to Expect from Season 2?

Well there is no solid answer to this question, as it completely depends on the makers. However, we can expect that since season 1 was divided into two parts the second season might also be divided into two parts.

So, this leaves us to expect that the second season might also include 24 episodes. Probably it will air its first 12 episodes in September and the remaining ones in October. No matter what comes but we can bet that Season 2 of Kengan Ashura and it will surely break its previous records. The anime is set to make new fans for its artwork, story and character design along with its intense action and buffed men!
