Kegan Ashura is based on the manga by Yabako Sandrovich and illustrated by Daromeon. It started from 2012 and ended in 2018 in Shogakukan’s Ura Sunday magazine, but a sequel series Kengan Omega came after its conclusion. 

An anime adaptation was later on produced by LARX Entertainment, which premiered on Netflix in 2019. 

“Ohma Tokita enters a hidden world where corporate disputes are settled in brutal gladiator bouts. Forget the money, he just wants to fight and win,” the series’ logline reads.

The first season, which has a total of 24 episodes, was directed by Seiji Kishi and has Tatsuhisa Suzuki, Cho, and Jouji Nakata as its cast members. 

Netflix has yet to reveal the plot details and returning cast members for season two. A target release date has yet to be announced.  – with reports from Edmar Delos Santos/Rappler.com
