KENGAN ASHURA — Season 1

Chairman Nogi summoned Kazuo Yamashita, a junior employee, to an impromptu meeting and assigned him a task that was both surprising and unwelcome.

In his first official kengan bout, Ohma stood calmly before Lihito of Yoshitake Real Estate, a fighter renowned for his arrogant demeanor and unnaturally powerful grip.

Ohma believed himself in control, yet Jun Sekibayashi swiftly countered, reminding him that professional wrestlers were consummate performers, adept at crafting elaborate displays.

Chairman Nogi staunchly declines to allow Ohma to compete in the Annihilation Tournament. Yet, an alternative path to qualification exists, one that necessitates the assistance of Yamashita.

Without warning, Ohma finds himself plunged into a chaotic free-for-all. More than a hundred combatants are confined within the space, yet only five will advance to the tournament's final round.

Amidst the opulence of the cruise ship, a contrast unfolds: while many seek leisure, a quiet game of strategy plays out. One astute shogi player, in particular, orchestrates a move that catches the eye.

The final tournament brackets were determined in a hushed, intense meeting of the company's key players. With that decision made, the contests commence tomorrow.

A wave of excitement heralded the commencement of the Kengan Annihilation Tournament. The opening bout pitted the esteemed jujutsu master, Cosmo Imai, against the formidable American brawler, Adam Dudley.

Haruo Kohno of Nintendo possesses a formidable physique, yet moves with unexpected swiftness and grace. However, riot police officer Seishu Akoya has a strategy prepared.

The clash was set: Raian, of the infamous Kure clan known for their deadly prowess, would face Mokichi Robinson, descendant of a celebrated kengan warrior from the nineteenth century.

Confidence buoyed him as Ohma entered the tournament ring, yet he found himself unexpectedly challenged by Ryo Inaba’s unsettling and unconventional approach to combat.

The tournament progresses, marked by a constant negotiation of boundaries, both within and beyond the fighting. Ohma finds himself increasingly burdened by Yamashita’s paternal concern.

Kiohzan Takeru’s aggressive approach against Jun Sekibayashi, known as “Hell’s Angel,” might resemble mixed martial arts, yet his relentless fighting style echoes the origins of sumo.

The arena was quiet, a rare respite for gladiators and their audience. Ohma, however, found no peace. He replayed his past contests in his mind, the echoes of fierce battles ringing clear. He saw himself facing formidable foes – a list that…

Yoshinari Karo of Ajiro Fisheries stands opposite Saw Paing Yoroizuka. The outcome is predetermined, a sham. Yet Karo, with his harpoon, intends to defy the established order.

In Destinyland, Masami Nezu confronts Rei Mikazuchi, heir to a lineage of assassins. Ren Nikaido’s unusual maneuver against Setsuna Kiryu proves to be a miscalculation.

Lihito’s fiery temper and boastful demeanor do not unsettle Gensai Kuroki of Motor Head Motors. The clash is a contest between youthful impetuosity and seasoned experience, steeped in the traditions of the Kaiwan style.

Sen Hatsumi confronts Takayuki Chiba, a man known for mirroring his opponents' techniques. Meanwhile, Hajime Hanafusa steps into the arena with a grim directive: to execute Yohei Bando, a prisoner awaiting capital punishment.

Kaolan Wongsawat, representing both his nation and his pledged allegiance, enters the ring. His opponent, Suekichi Kaneda, appears decisively inferior, yet possesses a sharp mind and an unwavering determination.

Naoya Ohkubo, hailed as the King of Combat, faces Agito Kanoh, a perennial crowd favorite who has maintained an unbroken record of 157 victories. The upcoming contest promises to be a legendary clash.

The second round commences. Facing the towering Seishu Akoya, Cosmo Imai, significantly smaller in stature, abandons his customary grappling techniques.

Seishu Akoya operates according to a personal code of cruel justice. Facing imminent death, Cosmo Imai experiences a revelation that rekindles his resolve.

Facing Raian of the Kure clan, Ohma stood as the sole focus, while unseen, other Kure assassins moved with purpose beyond the confines of the arena. The fate of Yamashita’s eldest son teetered precariously.

As defeat appears inevitable, a vision floods Ohma's mind, unlocking a previously untapped potential. He ascends to a new level of power, preparing for a climactic confrontation with Raian.
