Kengan Ashura Season 3 Canceled? Will It Ever Return?
After watching the action-packed fighting sequel of Kengan Ashura Season 2 Part 2, fans eagerly await for Kengan Ashura Season 3 release date. Well, the martial arts anime has undoubtedly created an uproar in the anime world. There’s no denying that its 3D CG animation captivated many hearts. However, since the series has just wrapped up its second season’s second part, many are wondering whether the anime will return with another season. Will it? Here are all the possible reasons that suggest the future of the series. So, let’s delve into it.
Based on Yabako Sandrovich’s manga series of the same name, the anime focuses on the story of Tokita Ohma, aka Ashura. The name is after the demon of Buddhist and Hindu myths. The anime delves into the fighters in Kengan matches, which are run by CEOs of Japanese zaibatsu. The matches are basically a merge of Fight Club and gladiatorial games. As Kengan matches gain popularity, the CEO of Nogi Group brings Ohma into the picture, whose ranks rise per match as he uses his special technique to beat his opponents. With the epic Season 2 Part 2, fans are now wondering whether Tokita Ohma will return for another mindblowing, action-packed sequence. Let’s find out!
Kengan Ashura Season 3: Is It Renewed Yet?
Unfortunately, Kengan Ashura Season 3 hasn’t been renewed yet. The anime dropped its epic Season 2 Part 2 on August 15, 2024, taking the world by storm. Part 2 is undoubtedly a massive hit as it explores “The End of the Tournament.” Since the beginning of the anime, it has focused on Ohma’s journey and how he has become a successful fighter. But in Season 2 Part 1, he faced a devastating fate, and the season concluded with Ohma in the hospital.
Netflix
As the part 2 enter the final battle phase, we saw the return of Ohma. While the final tournament was important for him, he faced a dark fate at part 2’s end. Sadly, Ohma died of a severe wound in the end, leading many to believe that Ohma would never return for Kengan Ashura Season 3. So, without Ohma, is there any possibility of Season 3? The explosive storyline has already led many to believe that the series might wrap up with Part 2.
While many wonder about the fate of the series, the show indeed concluded with Part 2. So, it doesn’t seem like the anime will return with the third season of Kengan Ashura. That’s because the manga series editor Kobayashi Sho posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the anime would end with the end of the tournament. Since we have already witnessed the final arc of the manga series, there is no chance the show will return.
Is Kengan Ashura Season 3 Canceled?
Of course not! Although there is less chance for the show to return with the third season, that doesn’t mean the series has been canceled. Neither the streaming giant nor the production house has canceled the anime. In fact, the anime has met its satisfactory conclusion, wrapping up the final arc of the manga series. In addition, the series has remained the most anticipated and well-praised martial arts anime of the year.
Netflix
It has gained positive reception from the audience as well as the critics. The series earned 8 stars out of 10 on IMDb and 7.6 stars out of 10 on MyAnimeList. It’s sufficient to suggest that the anime performed incredibly well, and there was no point in canceling it. Above all, the chances of the show to return are scarce. That’s because the Kengan Ashura manga series has come to its natural conclusion. This is the only reason why neither the animation studio nor the streaming platform is looking to return with Kengan Ashura Season 3.
Lack Of Source Material
The anime is based on the manga series written by Yabako Sandrovich and illustrated by Daromeon. It began serializing in April 2012 on Shogakukan’s Ura Sunday website and concluded in August 2018. The original manga series concluded with 245 chapters, which were collected in 27 tankobon volumes. Although it sounds like it has ample material to explore, that isn’t the case. That’s because the first season covered up to Volume 21, exploring the Chapter 180 “Suppression” arc.
Thus, the second season was left with only six volumes to adapt, leaving no room for Kengan Ashura Season 3. As we know, the show has already concluded the storyline with Ohma’s death; it doesn’t seem like there’s a possibility of his or Kengan Ashura’s return. Although this conclusion has already saddened the fans, there’s a possibility that they will enjoy such gripping martial arts anime sooner or later.
New Manga Is In The Pipeline
Although the Kengan Ashura manga concluded in August 2018, the mangaka returned with a sequel, Kengan Omega, in January 2019. It’s a sequel series, and the best part is that it’s still ongoing. The series is licensed by Comikey and currently has 277 chapters. Kengan Omega revolves around a different character named Narsuhima Koga, aka “The Fist Eye.” While the story is a fresh start of the Kengan Universe, it has hinted that Koga has some connection with the original series protagonist.
Netflix/ Kengan Omega manga
The mystery has yet to be explored. However, since the manga has already reached 277 chapters, it has dropped several hints suggesting the connection between Koga and Ohma. While the new manga is still ongoing, there’s a chance that it might get an anime adaptation soon. If this happens, martial arts anime fans will have another reason to calm their thirst for action-packed animes.
Will Kengan Ashura Season 3 Return?
As mentioned above, Kengan Ashura has already been concluded, but the Kengan Universe can continue exploring the massive and dramatic fights around the world. Though Kengan Ashura Season 3 won’t return, the show might receive a spinoff series in the form of Kengan Omega. The possibility is quite high since the original series received massive popularity. Plus, Netflix is working on expanding its ONA streaming list.
So, it’s highly likely that the streaming giant will greenlit the show for a spinoff. Netflix typically announces its decision in a couple of months. Since the show debuted on August 15, the streaming giant will take time to return with a decision. Besides this, the viewership ratings, financial condition, and popularity will play a driving force in renewing the show or returning with a spinoff series. This decision might take longer, so fans must wait for it.

Although the chances of the show returning are highly unlikely, if the show returns with a spinoff, we can expect all the new characters to be introduced to the picture. As for Ohma Tokita, he might return in some form of flashbacks when his connection with Koga is explored. The original anime cast members include:
As mentioned above, the show hasn’t been greenlit yet. In fact, there’s no chance that the series will return with Kengan Ashura Season 3. It has already met its conclusion, so delving into the third season without Ohma doesn’t seem a good point. However, the Kengan Universe can return with a spinoff. As of now, Netflix has yet to announce its decision. But we will update you once we hear an announcement. This is all for now. Stay with The Anime Daily for more such updates.

Why Should Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4 Return?
Just a few weeks have passed since the anime enthusiasts saw Kimi Ni Todoke Season 3, and they can’t wait to delve deeper into the high school alley. There’s no denying that the anime is a blockbuster hit. However, it remains unclear when Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4 will return. Well, the latest sequel of the franchise has returned after 13 years. So, it seems like the streaming platform will take some time to decide the future of the show. But don’t fret! In this article, we have discussed all the possible reasons as to why the series should return with the fourth season. So, keep reading.
Based on a Japanese manga series by Karuho Shiina, Kimi Ni Todoke: From Me To You follows the struggle of a 15-year-old high school girl named Sawako Kuronuma, aka Sadako. Due to her ominous appearance, she feared making new friends. However, her life takes a U-turn when a popular boy, Shota Kazehaya, starts talking to her. This embarks her on a new journey as she meets new friends and starts enjoying her life. As the anime unfolds, the two fall in love with each other.
Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4: Is It Renewed Yet?
Kimi Ni Todoke debuted back in October 2009 with a bang. The series received positive acclaim for its narration. However, despite being the most powerful anime of the year, it never returned after the second season. The second season wrapped up airing in 2011, and since then, fans hadn’t heard about the series. Things changed finally! After 13 long years, Netflix revived the series for the third run. That’s right! Kimi Ni Todoke Season 3 aired on August 1, 2024, creating an uproar in the anime industry.
Netflix
The ONA left fans on their toes, clamoring for Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4. However, it’s only been a few weeks since we last saw the third season. It’s quite early to guess when the series will be renewed. Since the decision is in Netflix’s hands, we can expect that it will take some time to return. That’s because the streaming giant takes a few months to announce its decision. The renewal decision is generally based on the viewership vs. cost graph.
Netflix will announce its decision based on the number of subscribers and viewership it has received. That means fans have to wait to learn the future of the series. However, one thing to note here is that the streaming giant is currently working on expanding its streaming list. It has also added more ONA to its platform. So, it will be a positive sign as to why Netflix should return with Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4.
Chances Of Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4
Although the anime returned after 13 years, it’s a positive sign that it will continue. Netflix added the first two seasons of Kimi Ni Todoke to its streaming list back in 2023. It then took only a year to return with the third season. This shows that the streaming giant is optimistic about Kimi Ni Todoke: From Me To You. Not only this, but Netflix has also added the live-action series of Kimi Ni Todoke to its platform. The series performed well, hinting that Netflix will return with the fourth run.
Netflix
However, the streaming giant hasn’t yet revealed the details of its viewership, which has left many to wonder whether the anime performed well on the platform. While its viewership has not been announced, the series received positive reception. It garnered 7.8 stars out of 10 on IMDb and 86% on AniList. Meanwhile, the critics have also called it worth watching anime. It’s currently the most-watched anime on the platform. Thus, we can expect that Netflix will renew the series for the fourth run sooner or later.
It Has Ample Source Material To Return
While the official staff has yet to greenlight the anime, many believe it can return with more than one season. There are several plausible reasons, one of which is its source material. Kimi Ni Todoke: From Me To You is a manga adaptation written and illustrated by Karuho Shiina. The series was serialized from 2005 to 2017 in Bessatsu Margaret and published by Shueisha. Although the manga series is concluded, there is enough source material left to be covered.
The 123 chapters of the manga are collected in 30 tankobon volumes. So far, the anime has only covered one part of the manga. In fact, the latest installment has covered only Vol 11 to Vol 18 (around chapters 46 to 75). That means the series can return with more seasons. That’s because 50 more chapters in short 12 volumes are left to be explored in future projects. Since the third season has covered 29 chapters, we expect the same with Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4.
Will Production I.G. Return?
Since the beginning of the series, Production I.G. has remained the sole animation studio behind Kimi Ni Todoke. Despite being the busiest production house, Production I.G. returned to animate Kimi Ni Todoke Season 3 last year. This shows that if the series receives renewal, the production house will return to animate the series. However, it doesn’t seem like it will return soon. That’s because Production I.G. is currently busy working on other projects.
Netflix
These include Shinkalion: Change the World, Kaiju No. 8, and Kinnikuman Kanpeki Chojin Shisho-hen. It is also working on some ONA, including BRZRKR and Terminator Zero, as well as films like Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle and Untitled Haikyu!! Film. Thus, at least this year, it doesn’t seem like the studio house will return to work on Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4. But if the series receives the green light, then we can expect it will take a year to finish its production, considering the tight schedule of the studio house.
Kimi Ni Todoke Season 3 Ending Suggests More To Come
The chances of the series to return are high. That’s because the third season ended on a cliffhanger. The latest installment suggested that there is more to explore in Sawako and Shota’s storyline. Shota and Sawako developed a strong bond over the summer break. They even went on dates and introduced each other to their parents. While everything went well in their lives, things spiralled after the Okinawa trip. The duo were close to kissing each other but were interrupted by Ayane.
But things changed, and both started maintaining a distance. When Sawako realized that the difference between them had grown a lot, she tried to have a conversation with Shota. However, things didn’t work out well. In the end, she realized that it wasn’t her who created the barrier but Shota. She also overthought that Shota didn’t want her in his life. While the situation tensed, Shota decided to open up. He revealed his true feelings for Sawako.
Netflix
Shota also confessed that he didn’t want to share her with anyone. He confessed to being so carried away with their relationship that he subconsciously created a wall between them. However, they came closer for good. He confessed and kissed her on Christmas Eve. As the two settled for good, Kimi Ni Todoke Season 3’s finale suggested there were more to come. The cliffhanger hinted at a new set of storylines.
Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4: What To Expect Next?
The third season ended with Shota confessing his love for Sawako. While the couple has begun a new journey, Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4 can focus on the hurdles they face. The duo has yet to finish their final year, so they will struggle to balance their love life and academics. In fact, Shota and Sawako must select the university they want to study. This might create more complications if both pick a different university, creating a barrier between the two.
Netflix
So far, the anime has remained true to its source material. So we can expect the same with this season as well. It will pick the pace from Chapter 76, in which the couple explains their relationship to their friends and family. This will mark a new beginning in their life. However, Sawako might meet some love rivals in the upcoming season. Since Shota is a popular boy, many will want to stay close to him and push Sawako out of the line. If that is the case, it will be intriguing to see how things will move now.
Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4 Cast Details
No doubt, there won’t be Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4 without the series’ main characters. So, without any doubt, they will return to play their part in the next season. These include:
Sawako Kuronuma – Mamiko Noto (Japanese), Xanthe Huynh (English)
Shota Kazehaya – Daisuke Namikawa (Japanese), Khoi Dao (English)
Chizuru Yoshida – Yuko Sanpei (Japanese), Morgan Berry (English)
Ryu Sanada -Yuichi Nakamura (Japanese), Ray Chase (English)
Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4 Release Date
Netflix has yet to announce Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4. However, it won’t take much time to renew the series for the next season. That’s because the series has already performed well, and the cliffhanger also hints at the next season’s direction. But since the streaming giant has yet to make an announcement, we believe the fourth season won’t return soon. It might take a year to land on our screen. Considering this, we can expect Kimi Ni Todoke Season 4 to air sometime in the fall of 2025. This is all for now. Stay with The Anime Daily for more such updates.
