For many, martial arts are a sacred art form that involves training a person's body to do the unthinkable. But for others, it is nothing more than a means to become strong. This heavily applies to the characters from Yabako Sandrovich's Kengan Ashura.
Kengan Ashura is a popular manga series that has many strong fighters competing in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament to bring honor to their employers. The manga has been adapted by Larx Entertainment, and it is exclusively available on Netflix. The first season was divided into two parts, but many people confuse it with having two seasons. Due to this reason, the subsequent season is called the third one. The third season will likely cover all the remaining fights in the series. As there are many fights in the series, here are a select few that fans should be excited about.
7 Imai Cosmo Vs. Tokita Ohma
Both Imai Cosmo and Tokita Ohma won their second round of matches to progress further in the tournament. Imai had to fight against Akota Seishu, who represented Wakasa Life Insurance. Ohma's opponent was Kure Raian, who was fighting for Under Mount, Inc.
Both Imai and Ohma were pushed to the extreme in their fights, but eventually, they managed to come out on top. Ohma Vs. Imai is going to be an interesting match because the two characters have different styles of fighting. Imai relies on submissions, while Ohma uses sheer power.
6 Hatsumi Sen Vs. Bando Yohei
Hatsumi Sen replaced Ohma as the representative of the Nogi Group. He is a veteran fighter who has never lost a fight in which he has participated. His only losses have come through disqualification.
Bando Yohei is the fighter of Juoh Communications. He is a criminal on death row whose unique body enabled him to survive execution multiple times. Hatsumi's fight against Chiba Takayuki gave the viewers a glimpse of his strength, but it remains to be seen if he can take down the ginormous Bandao, who is considered unkillable.
5 Kiryu Setsuna Vs. Kuroki Gensai
Kiryu Setsuna is a creepy guy who is obsessed with the protagonist, Tokita Ohma. He reacts violently if anyone tries to threaten Ohma. Setsuna has been impressive in both of his fights so far, and it will be interesting to see how he fares against his next opponent.
Kuroki Gensai is also known as the "Evil Lance." He uses the Kaiwan Style, which is famed for its precision and power, allowing Kuroki to end a fight within seconds. In the fight against Lihito, Kuroki Gensai concealed his power, yet he managed to defeat his opponent without any problems. The match between these two warriors will be one of the standouts of Round 2.
4 Gaolang Wongsawat Vs. Kanoh Agito
Kanoh Agito, better known as the Fang, is considered to be the strongest fighter in the tournament. His strongest ability is called "Evolution," which allows him to create a counter for his opponent's technique. Due to his superior reflexes, Agito is able to dodge all the attacks of his opponent, giving him enough time to come up with a counter.
Gaolang Wongsawat probably has the coolest epithet out of all the fighters in the tournament. He is known as the "Thai God of War," which shows how highly he is respected in his country. Gaolang is able to deliver multiple strong punches within seconds, making him a deadly opponent. The question is, will his punches be strong enough to bypass Agito's defense?
3 Muteba Gizenga Vs. Sekibayashi Jun
Muteba Gizenga is a notorious mercenary who is employed by Iwami Heavy Industries. He has no fixed style of fighting, making it difficult to predict his moves. Despite being blind, Muteba Gizenga is able to match the movement of his opponents.
Muteba's next opponent is Sekibayashi Jun, the pro-wrestler who has won the hearts of the viewers. Sekibayashi Jun has a resilient body that can withstand a barrage of attacks. He is capable of finishing his fights quickly, but refuses to do so out of respect for his profession. Sekibayashi's stubbornness to stick to his tenets is definitely something that Muteba will be looking to exploit.
2 Julius Reinhold Vs. Wakatsuki Takeshi
Julius Reinhold is a huge man who is able to instill fear into his opponents without even trying. Julius' physique is comparable to that of a monster, and it looks almost impossible to hurt him with normal strikes, but Wakatsuki might be able to take him down.
Wakatsuki Takeshi's record in Kengan matches is incredible. He has participated in hundreds of Kengan matches, and he has one of the best win percentages. His fight in the first round was short, which is why it is tough to gauge his true power. Given his feats, Wakatsuki is perfectly capable of winning against Julius.
1 Tokita Ohma Vs. Kanoh Agito (Possible Match-Up)
This is the only matchup that has not been confirmed, but it seems likely to happen at some point. Ohma and Agito are on opposite sides of the charts, which means that they won't be fighting each other until the final. Agito is the front-runner to win the tournament, but it would be unwise to rule out Ohma, who can improve at an astounding rate.
Agito disrespected Ohma and made fun of his strength, so there is already tension between them. Furthermore, Ohma is the protagonist, so he definitely has to reach the finals. The only problem with this matchup is that if Agito makes the final, Ohma won't be able to fight Setsuna Kiryu, who is on the same side as Agito. There is also a possibility that neither Agito nor Kiryu manage to make it to the final, and it may be an entirely different person.
