There is a misconception among fans about the order of Kengan Ashura. The 2019’s Kengan Ashura is considered the first season by Netflix. The fact that they divide into two parts is confusing.

Unlike the Japanese TV schedule, Netflix released the first and second parts simultaneously. Because the gap between them is three months, most fans think they are different seasons.

It is also supported by My Anime List, which divides Kengan Ashura into three different series; Kengan Ashura Part 1, Kengan Ashura Part 2, and the upcoming Kengan Ashura Season 2.

To avoid any unnecessary confusion, we will refer to it as season 3.
