The first season of Kengan Ashura was released worldwide on Netflix in July 2019. The second season, comprising episodes 13 to 24, was released on Netflix in October of the same year.
Seiji Kishi directed the anime at Larx Entertainment, while Makoto Uezu handled series composition and Kazuaki Morita was in charge of character design.

In the manga's plot, companies and merchants sponsor fighters for unarmed close combat matches where large sums of money are at stake. These Kengan matches, whose origins date back to the Edo period, are used to settle disputes. The series follows the fearsome Ōma Tokita, known as Ashura, who participates in these battles, and the hidden ambitions of the Nogi Group's president, Hideki Nogi, which are set in motion by Ashura's involvement in the Kengan matches.
