This anime introduced us to the intriguing world of Kengan, where business dealings take a far more brutal form than the typical boardroom meetings or contracts. Instead, they are settled through a savage sport: no-holds-barred combat to the death.
Enter Ohma Tokita, a fighter renowned as “The Ashura,” who is driven by an unyielding desire to prove his supremacy. He is recruited by Kazuo Yamashita, a member of the Nogi Group. In the latter half of the inaugural season, Ohma faces a series of formidable challenges, including a brutal showdown with Kuro Raian, an adversary who nearly claimed his life. Nevertheless, Ohma emerged victorious and advanced to the quarter-finals of the competition.
