Is the Anime Really Finished?
#

When asking if the anime is finished, it is important to first clarify exactly what you are watching. The anime adaptation in this franchise is Shura no Toki: Age of Chaos.

If you only watch the anime, you are experiencing an adaptation of the prequel manga, Mutsu Enmei-ryū Gaiden: Shura no Toki. While the anime provides a look into the martial arts world of the series, it does not cover the events of the original Shura no Mon manga or its subsequent sequel. Therefore, to get a complete and satisfying conclusion to the overall saga, you will definitely need to continue with the source material.

If you’re ready to dive deeper into the lore, you can buy the Shura no Mon manga here.
