The Netflix martial arts anime Kengan Ashura is famous for the variety of characters that add value to the overarching plot. The series consists of ferocious battles and detailed action sequences, making it one of the most successful action anime series on martial arts. This article looks at five of the strongest Kengan Ashura characters who leave their opponents biting the dust.
Kuroki Gensai
Aged 53, Kuroki Gensai is arguably the strongest assassin in Kengan Ashura. His large and well-built stature goes well with his somber personality.
His combat skills come from his experience in martial arts. Besides mastering every other combat technique, Gensai can counter the Koei style, the Raisin style, and the Niko style as well. He has quick reflexes that allow him to deal damage to anyone who challenges him.
Kanoh Agito
Another one of the strongest Kengan Ashura characters is Kanoh Agito. An exemplary leader with the ability to think strategically, Kanoh is generally haughty.
Kanoh has a brutal combat style, famously the “Formless” style, which can appear sadistic. While he makes an unbeatable opponent in any ring match, his skillful approach to fighting complements his physical abilities. He can quickly adapt and tactfully copy his opponents’ combat styles. His foresightedness, paired with his “evolution” fighting style, makes him a force to be reckoned with.
Tokita Ohma
The primary protagonist of Kengan Ashura, Tokita Ohma, has a knack for fighting. Also known as “The Ashura,” Ohma was adopted by Tokita Niko at a young age, and he learned the Niko style from him.
Ohma’s power lies in his strength and agility. Along with creating a winning streak until he had to fight against Kuroki Gensai, Ohma mastered two fighting styles with the help of Tokita Niko. He perfected the Niko style while also becoming an expert in Advance, which is the other half of the Niko style.
Xia Yan
Shogakukan)He is the leader of the Worm and Xia Ji’s twin. Xia Yan is a stoic-looking man compared to his mischievous brother. His position as the leader of a mysterious Chinese underworld organization implicates the extent of his talents.
Although not much is known about Xia Yan yet, his power in combat can be credited to his strong muscles. Additionally, he is hard working when it comes to training and working to develop his fighting skills. It is believed that he can defeat influential martial artists, which is evidence of Xia Yan’s skills.
Kure Raian
“The Devil” from the Kure clan, Kure Raian is a hot-blooded and violent man. His muscular build complements his love for domination. He is provocative and hostile towards his opponents, showing no remorse for going all-out to fight them.
Raian has a cruel fighting style, which, paired with his overwhelming strength, helps him defeat just about any opponent within his league. Hailing from the Kure clan makes him a rightful inheritor of the Kure Clan Style of combat. This technique focuses on attacking the opponents’ sensitive areas, which is helpful for someone as brutal while fighting as Raian.
Wakatsuki Takeshi
Shogakukan)Nicknamed “The Wild Tiger,” Wakatsuki Takeshi is an active fighter affiliated with Furumu Pharmaceuticals. He is quiet and calculative, albeit equally fraternal. Contrary to his reserved disposition, he is fierce in the ring.
Wakatsuki Takeshi’s greatest strength is his extraordinarily high muscle density and weight. His body mass and size naturally allow him to launch unnerving blows at his opponents. Putting his body to his advantage, he uses his punches to take his opponents down. The most powerful of his punches is the Blast Core, which he launches after accumulating his muscles in the center of his body.
