Kengan Ashura Review | The Manliest Manga Ever
Рет қаралды 27,512
4 жыл бұрынKengan Ashura is one the most action-packed, testosterone filled mangas I've ever read, maybe even more than Baki the Grappler. What's up Bakas? In today's video I'll be reviewing the Kengan Ashura manga and I'll be telling you guys why I think you should read it. I'll also be telling you guys why the Kengan Ashura anime, in my opinion, is a poor adaption.
The Kengan Ashura manga is currently completed right now with 27 volumes and it has a sequel called Kengan Omega. The Kengan Ashura anime is currently streaming on Netflix and has 2 seasons.

Ngl I love the anime. I've watched both seasons twice. Where other series would suffer from the CGI, Kengan Ashura kinda benefits. What would elsewhere seem less smooth in this context feels more weighty & powerful. The brutal impact comes across in a way that prettier styles can't convey. It trades fluidity for solidity, and imho that's the right call.

I'm so disappointed they didn't include the fight against Medicine Man. The fact Ohma has so many tricks up his sleeve, and doesn't just have his knockoff Removal ability just shows how in tune of a fighter he is. I'm glad they showed some of it in the fight against Inaba, but Ohma deserves more credibility with all the skills he's learned over the years than just showing off his double edge sword of a superpower.

It's basically every MMA practitioner's wet dream. It teaches footwork (Flame), conditioning and flexing (Adamentine), blocking and parrying (Redirection) and Grappling and Holds (Water). It basically is a good foundation, makes you pretty all rounded and opens the door to almost every practical martial art. Also, it is stated over and over again that not a single move is more powerful or useful than the other. It's just a tool in their arsenal. Even the secret technique, which would be the most powerful technique in other anime, is just a simple counter

@@familyguysofunny1933Denonbane uses the power of the opponent as well as thr user, he spent the entire manga of Ashura building up to remembering his finisher and it was so good. His techniques may not be ultra complicated but for their simplicity, they're also super overpowered. One of my favourite martial arts in all of fiction honestly just cause of how awesome it is. The manga did so well to depict it.

Completely agree, such a great work of literature I'd say the anime is also so well done imo with the CGI mocap fights plus the OST is a banger (Born This Way easily one of the best anime opening songs ever) And the intelligence that goes into each fight is masterful from a writing standpoint, it's not just DBZ where it's just crazy shit happening, fights are smart and have a sense of "logic" to them

5:15 it's not just that tho, its goes way deeper. After the volumes last chapter, theres a one page comic about the creative process and behind the scenes of the manga's creation from the mangaka. And it shows that his editor (and the writer, Yabako Sandrovich iirc) actually practice martial arts. So theres times where the artist will be drawing a pose or a grapple, or etc., and his editor will actually come in and show him how the hold would really go, or what stance a fighter would really use. They also would go to wrestling matches and sumo matches to get better reference material for the fights and fighters.

You can tell the writers (yes plural) actually study combat sports and not just get their information from rpg’s and fighting games. Something like HXH has the same problem representing martial arts as DnD (styles are a foreign concept to the writer of the rule book). Other anime (2011’s Ben-To for example) look like the fights were modeled after Virtua Fighter highlights

@Chance of Bliss I guess your right, Berserk has gone through a lot of duality and philosophical meaning behind what makes the world, characters, and their motives so interesting. To see the protagonists overcome some of the obstacles they have to face either mentally or physically or understand from the antagonist’s point of view for accepting the darkness is really interesting to see how that strengthens their beliefs onto the world. I just hope we will get a conclusion.
