Here’s what you need to know about Kengan Ashura part 2
When Ura Sunday’s polls had Kengan Ashura taking the top spot for the manga that should be made into a series, back in 2015, and the series details were released in 2017, a lot of fans assumed that it’d be a one-part series. The first season of Kengan Ashura anime, a Netflix original released in 2019, was much loved. In 2022, it was then announced that the streaming giant would now be looking into bringing Kengan Ashura season 2 to life. The Kengan Ashura season 2 was then divided into two parts, the first of which was released in September 2023, and garnered rave reviews. And for the fans who have waited patiently since, the announcement for the Kengan Ashura season 2 release date was made earlier this year, and Kengan Ashura part 2 is all set to hit our screens in August 2024.
