Kengan Ashura is back with the first part of its second season, and it starts off directly from where we left off in season 1 part 2. Round 1 of the Kengan Annihilation tournament has just concluded, and round 2 is about to start. The fights that happen in this part include:
- Wakatsuki vs Julius
- Sekibayashi vs Muteba
- Saw-Paing vs Rei
- Kuroki vs Setsuna
- Hatsumi vs Bando
- Agito vs Kaolan
All these fights were very good, but my favorite was definitely Agito vs Kaolan. The stakes were very high, and even though the animation is fully CGI, the fight looked extremely smooth and clean. Admittedly, the CGI is a bit jarring outside of the actual fight scenes, but hey, its a battle tournament series, so as long as the fights look good, that's really all that matters. The story is pretty standard, but enjoyable. The characters are also good, my favorite is definitely the MC, Tokita Ohma. He has a great, overconfident personality, but he can back up all his trash talk and claims. He took a backseat for most of this part, because in his previous fight last season he suffered injuries that caused him to fall into a coma (don't worry though, he comes back in the final episode). Other characters are quite interesting too,like Agito, Hatsumi, Wakatsuki, etc. The soundtrack is solid all around, it fits in well with the show. And the OP and ED by SiM and BAND-MAID respectfully are both absolute bangers. Overall, whether you're a fan of the Kengan Ashura anime, manga, or both, you will definitely end up enjoying this season a lot if you liked the previous seasons.
