Why There's No Season 3 and What Fans Can Expect Next

Kengan Ashura, the hard-hitting martial arts anime, took the world by storm with its visceral battles and memorable characters. As fans devoured the gripping episodes of the second season, murmurs began to grow about the prospects of a third installment. But should the Kengan community be bracing themselves for disappointment?

While the 3D CG animation did wonders in bringing the manga to life, it’s no secret that some ardent followers felt the plot was moving at breakneck speed. This led to murmurs of discontent over the pacing, although the series continued to reel in an ever-growing fan base. Nevertheless, many are still left wondering: will there be a season 3?

The Stance from the Official Corner

Delving into the source, Kengan Ashura finds its roots in Yabako Sandrovich’s manga series, which had fans convinced a third season was imminent. Reassurance came in the form of Kobayashi Sho, the official editor of both Kengan Ashura and its sequel, Kengan Omega.

Until the end of the original (the end of the tournament)!

Yet, as history shows, the manga concluded its illustrious run with 27 tankobon volumes, wrapping up at chapter 245 in February 2019. With the anime’s second season rounding off at chapter 180, there was only a limited arc left to bring to the screen. This finite stretch means that the anime adaptation of the original series is essentially complete, dampening hopes for Kengan Ashura season 3.

The Climactic Turn of Events

For those who have managed to steer clear of spoilers, here’s your caution: major reveals lie ahead.

The events unfolding towards the end of the manga series throw a wrench into the dreams of Kengan Ashura enthusiasts. With the tragic demise of Ohma, the protagonist, due to severe injuries, it becomes increasingly evident that a third season stands on shaky grounds.

Yet, all isn’t lost. The Kengan Ashura universe finds new lifeblood in the form of its sequel, Kengan Omega. This continuation has not only uplifted the spirits of the fans but also opened up new narrative avenues with its ongoing tales of combat.

With the story pivoting to Narushima Koga, dubbed “The Fist Eye,” ties to the original protagonist come into the spotlight. As the layers peel back, fans are eager to explore Ohma’s legacy through Koga’s journey, holding onto hope for potential anime adaptations in the future.

What’s Next for Fans?

While the absence of a Kengan Ashura season 3 has cast a shadow over the fan community, there’s a silver lining. The entirety of the series, brimming with adrenaline-pumping action, remains accessible exclusively on Netflix. So, for those looking to dive back into the heart-pounding world of martial arts battles, the Kengan Ashura universe awaits. And who knows? With Kengan Omega still unfolding, there might just be new anime horizons to explore in the near future.
