Following the announcement of major Japanese companies investing heavily in AI translation start-up to boost the export of manga, illustrator of Kengan Ashura, Daromeon, recounted an interesting tale on twitter.
Daromeon revealed that English debut of Kengan Ashura manga was almost rocky as the professional translators who were responsible for translating the manga had done a poor job.
Sticking with the official translations would have posed significant problems, as the illustrator believed nobody would read them.
The situation was solved then by entrusting the translation of Kengan Ashura manga to a fan translation group.
However, Daromeon also wondered if AI translations could have helped with this situation.
“The English translation of Kengan Ashura is a bit peculiar, and we ended up entrusting it to an amateur group that had been illegally translating and uploading the manga without permission. This was because their translation was overwhelmingly better than the official one.

As anime and manga fans will know, the Baki series is one of the best-known and most popular martial arts manga and anime series of all time, right next to Hajime no Ippo and Kengan Ashura (we’re not counting Dragon Ball since it has a fantasy element to it). While Baki‘s style might not be to everyone’s liking, the series is popular, and, in fact, the series has been ongoing since 1991, with six different titles as of the time of writing. The current manga story, Baki Rahen, has been published since 2023.

Fighting is one of the purest life instincts, one that has been embedded deep inside creatures as a means for survival. There are a myriad ways to approach fight-oriented storytelling, and by now, the manga scene has adopted almost every one of them. While there are more over-the-top, more popular ones like Dragon Ball, Baki, and Kenichi, which have gathered a mass fan following, the more grounded ones like Shamo and Meguru have left their mark in the minds of dedicated manga readers. Kengan Ashura, the manga series created by Yabako Sandrovich and Daromeon, falls in between these two categories, and what makes it unique is the way multiple characters are given equal importance in the cumulative growth of the narrative.
It almost seems after monopolizing Kaiju-oriented anime, Netflix has targeted fighting-based ones, as no sooner than Baki completed its second season, Kengan Ashura returned to the streaming platform after a four-year hiatus.
