Kengan Ashura features many of the strongest gladiators who rich merchants and wealthy businessmen hire. These powerful fighters represent the people they fight for. The outcome of their combat would determine the fate of the fighter and the deals of their master.

The story revolves around Ohma Tokita, most commonly known by his nickname, The Ashura. He was hired by a representative of the Nogi Group for the Kengan Association. Ohma is a battle maniac, so he entered the Kengan Association and fought for Yamashita Trading Co. alongside Yamashita Kazuo.

The first season ended with a fierce battle between the protagonist and Raian Kure, where the former ended up victorious. Season 2 will continue from this point by focusing on the journey of the Ohma. Season 2 will also cover the entirety of the remaining chapters, so this might be the end of the series.
