Plot Synopsis

In this half-hour anime series, Ohma Tokita, nicknamed Ashura, enters a hidden world where corporate disputes are settled in brutal gladiator bouts. Forget the money, he just wants to fight -- and win. The story opens with Chairman Nogi suddenly calling low-level employee Kazuo Yamashita into a meeting and giving him an unexpected -- and unwanted -- new assignment. For his debut kengan match, Ohma calmly faces Yoshitake Real Estate's Lihito, an arrogant fighter with a superhuman vice-like grip. On Wednesday, July 31, 2019 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, Netflix released the first 12 episodes of KENGAN ASHURA.

An additional 12 episodes of KENGAN ASHURA -- called Part II by Netflix -- dropped three months later on Thursday, October 31, 2019. The Annihilation Tournament rages on: corporate leaders jockey for the Kengan chairmanship while their gladiators beat each other bloody in the ring.

On Thursday, September 21, 2023, Netflix released an a third batch of 12 episodes, which the streaming service is calling Season 2. The second round of the Kengan Life-or-Death Tournament continues -- without Ohma. As the mighty gladiators clash, a shadowy figure plots a violent coup.
