Ohma Tokita enters a hidden world where corporate disputes are settled in brutal gladiator bouts. Forget the money, he just wants to fight - and win.
About the Manga (source Wikipedia):
Kengan Ashura (Japanese: ケンガンアシュラ) is a Japanese manga series written by Yabako Sandrovich and illustrated by Daromeon. It was serialized on Shogakukan's Ura Sunday website from April 2012 to August 2018, with its chapters compiled into twenty-seven tankōbon volumes. A sequel, titled Kengan Omega, began in January 2019.
About Each Anime Fighter (source Kengan Ashura wikia):
Rei Mikazuchi (御み雷かずち 零れい; "Rei Mikazuchi"), also known as The Lightning God (雷らい神じん, Raijin), is an assassin from the Mikazuchi Clan and the current master of the Raishin Style (Lighting Spirit Style). He is an extremely confident man, bordering on arrogance, believing himself unbeatable due to his martial arts style (though after fighting Saw Paing, he began to doubt himself). During the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, he represented the Gold Pleasure Group as their affiliated fighter; he was one of three assassins in the tournament.
Yoroizuka Saw Paing (鎧い塚塚 サーパイン, Yoroizuka Sa-pain; "Saw Paing Yoroizuka"), also known as The Howling Fighting Spirit, is a Burmese fighter with a lean and tall physique. He arguably appears much younger than he is, with a youthful and hairless face and spiky, voluminous brown hair and hazel eyes. True to his personality, he often sports a determined and enthusiastic expression with wide eyes and a perpetual grin. During bouts, he wears nothing except red shorts, a mongkol (also known as a mongkhon) and a pra jiad on both arms, being his headband and armbands respectively traditionally worn during Muay Thai bouts to ascribe confidence and luck to the fighter. Outside of bouts, he prefers to wears shorts and Hawaiian shirts. His fighting style is Lethwei

Will you join us to help build a stronger Scenic Fights? We know it's been a long time since our last full fight breakdown, but these videos take time! However, we are launching a Tier 1 KZbin Membership to ensure we create full fight scene breakdowns, regularly. And as we gather more members, we plan to add more tiers and perks based on the input we get from you, including live events with us! However, if you're in NYC and want to meet us today, find Chad at Paxibellum Martial Arts and simply say you found us on Scenic Fights for a free BJJ class! With regards to Saw Paing vs Rei Mikazuchi, we went with the English Dub translation for their moves. Hammer of Burma = Burmese Iron Hammer and Raishin Style = Lighting Spirit Style. Moreover, the pronunciation of Saw Paing and Lethwei is also similar to the official English Dub. As always, thank you for the continuous support. If you only watch our full breakdown, check out our 100+ Short breakdowns on our KZbin channel.

I really apretiate how you guys improved in the breakdowns, taking on count the characters features like Saw Paing´s bones or Rei´s speed. Bringing up examples of some techniques in real fights or personal experiences gives it more juice to be enjoyed. It´s amazing the path this channel has made.

[@SaulGoodManGaming332]

I LOVE KENGAN ASHURA!!!!!!!!

[@seanwilliams7655]

Saw Paing went to that guard position as kind of a "resting" tactic. Rei had been rattling his brain so much he needed a chance to recover. Rei, of course, knew that, and he also knew that they were both strikers, and that a ground fight wasn't to anybody's advantage. But that it was more to Saw Paing's advantage because of his size and how the fight was going.

[@TheRealYDA]

[@tb6664]

"Slow the fight down when fighting someone faster" is great advice, but tough to do. A great example would be Strickland vs Style Bender.

[@barkn8000]

I just can't get enough of your Kengan Ashura breakdowns! Great work! Even though Rei's style is unrealistic, it has an explanation in the manga which I love. They have this extreme training to receive that lightning speed, which they stay still without moving a muscle, no food, no water, no sleep for 9 days straight. They explain it as "this sharpens their mind and body, and removes the limitations (similar to Kure Clan's Removal), and from the day they learn how to walk, they are forced to run consistently, so they have legs SPECIALIZED for running.

[@thunderkatz4219]

His style is like other karate styles mixed with I’m guessing some Japanese jiujitsu

[@BirdLeavesNoEggs]

I'm so happy you guys are covering this season's fights too. Can't wait for Gaolan vs Fang! edit: during the Rei's strikes breakdown I feel like you guys should've mentioned how surface area plays into strikes. A fist has higher surface area than if you were striking with your fingers. Targeting less surface area = generally more damage, which I guess is why the anime wanted to show how he targeted pressure points in the way they did, even if it made it less realistic.

[@allengordon6929]

Canonically illusion step is like a weaponised fremen sand walk: you're tricking your opponent into thinking you're going to move at consistent speed when you're not going to.

[@airebornstyle1149]

I think a good fight that's more realistic that season would be Gaolan Wongsat vs Kanoh Agito! That entire fight was nuts and I was loving the intense difference from how Agito normally just dominates people. Great episode as always and I was rooting for Saw Paing but he was clearly outmatched that entire fight, at least Rei didn't kill him like he promised his sponsor

[@thedoc99]

Man it’s so good to get the long form breakdowns again! Also I noticed that Chad has gotten a lot better at slowing down when he’s talking/explaining. It’s something I struggle with to so it’s great to see

[@fallingsplat4431]

I love these bro, there is pratically no one else on youtube I've found that does it this well, in depth and to top it off shows the moves ''they should've or could've done''. Love this channel so much, thanks for continuing this project!

Thank you so much for the awesome comment and thank you for continuing to support the channel. Let us know which other fight scenes we should breakdown next!

[@ianrosenbalm6555]

So true! As a writer, these breakdowns really help me understand the mechanics of fighting so I could describe them more realistically. If ever I get published (🤞), the Scenic Fights crew is definitely gonna get a shout-out!

[@expressiondestination6430]

Hell yes, you guys don't know how much we truly do miss these long form videos. Whether it's from movies, shows, or animes shit even video games if you find em we can't wait for more dope shit💯💯

[@m00nbreather69]

Rewatching this after the seeing the premiere lol. Next up will be either Kuroki vs Kiryu, but I think Kanoh Agito vs Kaolan Wongsawat might be in favor since the moves are pretty realistic not to mention that the Fang is adaptable and he comes up with a strategy that counters an opponent's fighting style if he can't beat the opponent using the same style even with his brute strength.

[@jaksautsendari]

[@kcsupersonic1]

Calf kicks are one of my favorite tactics. I think one of the most effective users of the Calf Kick these days is current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Alex Pereira. The way Pereira throws his kick, there is virtually no hip flex. It has very little telegraph as a result. He also tends to strike his opponent's calf with a bit of his heel so less power is lost. I know I've been trying to learn how to throw Pereira's kick for a couple years now.

[@fredmedrano6584]

The one Pereira uses is a dutch style low kick, and while it's hard to check, it puts more stress on the knee ligaments and therefore if checked it has a higher chance of injury Take care, greetings from 🇪🇸
