Like Kengan Ashura? You'll love Omega!

Easy review aside, KO is the sequel to the hit martial arts manga and takes place 2 years after the Kengan Annihilation tournament and follows two new protagonists, Kogu Naroshima and Ryuki Gaoh, a hot headed street fighter, and a mysterious, calm, yet secluded from reality warrior from the "Inside", the same as our previous protagonist, Tokita Ohma, and their journey into the Kengan matches and a mysterious organization destroying it from the inside called, "The Worm."

Kengan's fights and art are as good as ever, impactful action, detailed artwork and martial arts explanations, and the fighting banter is as read more

Story - 8/10

Kengan Omega takes place 2 years after the events of Kengan Ashura and follows 2 new MC's on their journey to become stronger; Narushima Koga and Gaoh Ryuki. Yamashita Kazuo (one of the Ashura MC's) is the leader of his own company which is known as Yamashita Trading Co. The Kengan Association is facing a major threat; a secret organization known as the Worm. To deal with this, they plan on performing a merger with another underground Organization known as Purgatory. A tournament is held where the winning organization absorbs the former, allowing them to have enough collective power to deal with the enemy. The story has tied up several loose ends that have been left unclear in Kengan Ashura. From chapter 1 to 50, the story was much better than Ashura ever was. There was a clear focus for our weaker MC (Koga) and it showed his growth and development very well, as well as his budding friendship with Ryuki. The story is currently in the tournament arc, which has been a little bit disappointing, but more on that later.

Art - 9/10

Daro's art does not disappoint. He is excellent at drawing people and has continued to illustrate the series wonderfully. The fights look fluid and crisp and you can visualize the fights incredibly well with his artwork. The only criticism I have is that there are sometimes certain inconsistencies with certain characters' heights and/or proportions (i.e. Julius) and sometimes certain limbs get mixed up when attacks are drawn (i.e. A character attacks with a right leg but a left leg is shown in the next panel for the attacking foot). Compared to most other manga that I'm invested in, Kengan's art blows them out of the water.

Character - 8/10

In Ashura, one of the highlights of the series was that you got to know a bit about each and every character in detail and they were all wonderfully developed. Several of these characters have made recurring appearances in Omega, which was refreshing to see. Yamashita Kazuo's development is wonderful, and he shown almost none of the fearful and timid attitude that was prevalent in his character at the beginning of Ashura. Koga started off being a slightly unlikeable character but definitely grew onto me. His humility and hard work ethic remind me of many shonen protags, but he more enjoyable than most MC's (I can't exactly place a reason behind it tbh). As for our other protagonist, Ryuki, he is an enigma. He is a "blank slate" and has a very limited moral compass. He is neither bad nor good, and would become a product of the environment around him. Ryuki's development has been quite interesting. It will certainly be interesting to see how he develops after the current arc is complete. As for the new characters (Purgatory Gladiators), they have been somewhat lackluster so far. Memes aside, Carlos was a pretty neat character. Falcon was pretty interesting too, with his views on rationality shaping his life. Toa, Yumigahama, Lu Tian, and Alan were all incredibly boring one dimensional characters. Naidan was simply used as a plot device. Jurota was pretty cool though. For the Worm characters, Xia seems like an irredeemably evil (albeit pitiful) character but he is somewhat interesting and entertaining as well. Eddie is one of my favourite characters introduced simply because he radiates chad energy but that might just be me.

Enjoyment - 8/10

I really enjoyed this manga and would have given this a 9 or 10/10 right up until about the 4th match of the tournament. It was interesting to see how our new MC Koga was developing and it was enjoyable to see his little interactions with Ryuki. Most of the early plot was a totally different route compared to Ashura but it was certainly an enjoyable route. The main reason for my enjoyment of the Ashura series was for the fight scenes, but I feel like Kengan Omega has not delivered very well with the fight scenes. All the fights pre-tournament were not bad at all but they could not compare to the quality of fights found in the KAT. If I were to compare it to fights in Ashura, it would be the equivalent of the fights Ohma had before the KAT. Now, onto the major fights. The Kengan vs. Purgatory tournament has definitely been lackluster as far as fights go. Round 1 was ok at best. Round 2 was excellent and reminiscent of the high quality fights found in Kengan Ashura. Round 3 was also not bad. However, from Round 4 up until where I have currently read to (Round 8), the fights haven't been nearly as good. I've been disappointed with the quality of the fights but there are still a few left to go in the tournament so hopefully they do not disappoint.

Overall - 8/10

Would I recommend it? For anyone that has read the Kengan Ashura series, absolutely. If you haven't read Ashura, I'd suggest reading that first. This series is still ongoing so I'll update my review every once in a while, but so far, this manga is definitely worth reading.

This review contains very slight spoilers. Shoutouts to lewando321 for proof reading.

I stumbled upon Kengan Ashura on Netflix back in 2020, I binged it, then I binged the manga. I absolutely loved every page of it, every single panel, once I've heard there was a sequel I knew that once again I would be hooked. Did it met my expectations? It exceeded the expectations with flying colors, the characters had great chemistry going between them, the art was amazing as always and overall the manga was promising.

So why would I give it a 5? What happened?

Well... Imagine creating a likeable protagonist with a very good character development, who wishes to catch up to the rest of the cast, giving him a training arc to show his improvement and development as a member of the crew. What would you do with him as a writer? Continue his adventure? Expand on his character and his past or whatever? Well.. In what would appear to be absolute genius of Sandrovich, he decided to bench him and show him from time to time for two or three panels. I wouldn't have much problem with it if it wasn't an ongoing issue for more than half of the manga's run.

The fights are incredibly predictable and there's little space given for character development outside of few flashbacks and backstories for every character introduced. With KA you had room to breath in between the fights, to see how the characters develop and what's going on behind the scenes.

But those two things aren't the worst offenses, the worst offense is how author had this beautiful conclusion to the story in KA but decided to completely crossed it out with two chapters in KO. I won't be going into details because I don't want to spoil it but it's just terrible. Not AOT kind of terrible, just terrible on it's own right.

As of now I see the light of hope for the series because recent chapters were good, surprisingly really good compared to what I would call a "festival of "mediocreness"".

Know that I absolutely adored KA (and still do) as if it was the best thing in the world. It kickstarted my interest in reading mangas and in martial arts. I am saying this so that you know that everything I wrote in here came from a very emotional place and that Kengan has influenced my life.

Don't let my review stop you from reading KA or KO, both of them are absolutely worth reading even if KO is of questionable quality as of now (Though as I said, it seems we are finally heading back into the right direction with recent chapters).

I kept some issues and explanations of them out of this review because I would need to spoil huge parts of KA and KO.

I might change the review as the series goes on or delete it altogether if the series actually steers into the right direction and my points won't be valid anymore.

Kengan Omega's most redeeming quality is its cast of incredibly memorable characters from Kengan Ashura.

The first manga was complete in and of itself. The few loose ends at the end of the manga weren't interesting enough to warrant a sequel. And yet, 106 chapters in, and those few loose ends have only made occasional appearances, and still do not pique my interest at all. During their best, they feel unnecessary, and during their worst, they degrade the quality of BOTH Ashura and Omega. What Chapter 50 alone introduces heavily degrades what Ashura had done, all for a plotline that I really could not care less read more
