Was that the best you could think of? You and your worthless cause?!?! HOW DARE YOU MAKE MITHRA SUFFER FOR YOUR OWN GAIN!!!!!! YOU WILL PAY!!!!!!!!!!

~ Asura to Deus.
Asura is the titular main protagonist of the action beat 'em up video game Asura's Wrath.
He was a deity who was betrayed by his former comrades, killed and framed for murder. The game, developed by Capcom and CyberConnect2, involves Asura coming back to seek vengeance against an impressive lineup of villains with incredible power, all deities. His incredible wrath burns on and never extinguishes, at least not until the end of the game.
He is voiced by Liam O'Brien in the English version, who also voiced Gaara from the Naruto franchise, Jushiro Ukitake from the Bleach franchise, Kenzo Tenma from Monster, Gill from the Street Fighter franchise, War from Darksiders, Miguel Caballero Rojo from the Tekken franchise, and Kain Highwind from Final Fantasy IV, and Hiroki Yasumoto in the Japanese version, who also voiced Guile from Street Fighter franchise and Yasutora Sado from the Bleach franchise.
Asura, the demigod of wrath, is humanoid in appearance, with red markings all over his body that glow orange when powered up, that trace out from his eyes. He has spiky white hair, white, pupilless eyes that make him look feral that can sometimes glow red, and tan skin. He is also rather muscular in his appearance. Asura's clothing has some Japanese influence, as the trousers he is wearing with a red flame pattern are uncommon. On those trousers, he wears a golden sash. On his legs, he wears unusual golden greaves that also act as sandals, and golden armor vambraces. His age of appearance is labeled to be 28.
Asura's wrath grows large enough to allow him to transform at times, stretching his power and changing his appearance. Across his transformations, he may also appear with six arms, with golden pauldrons on his shoulders, an entire set of arm armor, or appear as a feral beast either entirely glowing orange or all black. Upon reaching his Mantra Asura form at the end of the game, a halo can be seen floating behind his back. His six arms eventually appear with full sets of arm armor on them as well. As Asura the Destructor, he becomes akin to an actual god, with planetary size and all black.
Vajra Asura[]
Asura's mastery of this form is so tremendous, that he is almost always seen in this form, where Asura's arms are coated in a golden metallic armor. Through the Mantra activation within the demigods' bodies, they are able to metalize parts of their bodies to make them more suitable for battle. The process and degree of metallization differs among demigods; Asura's metallization forms mainly around his arms. This form is the base form upon which almost all transformations improve: mainly Six-Armed Vajra Asura, Mantra Asura, and Six-Armed Mantra Asura.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
Demigod Physiology: As a demigod, Asura naturally has many abilities which are inherently superhuman. Even among demigods though, Asura is substantially stronger and tougher than most. He is so strong he can hold back other entities that have enlarged themselves to a planetary scale. The angrier Asura gets, the more power he builds up, and his increased rage can turn him into an unstoppable killing machine. Asura learned how to be a great warrior from Augus and has centuries of fighting experience. Asura's real strength though, is his transformation. Asura can assume specific form, each of which takes on its own phenomenal physical properties, from gaining damage-resistant-armor to manifesting rage as burning flames.
Absolute Strength: His strength being only limited to his anger, Asura can be considered as the physically strongest character in the series. He can effortlessly deflect missiles, lift up and throw gigantic entities, and even kill one of them by punching his enormous finger with enough force repeatedly.
Absolute Speed: While his speed is assumedly not infinite, his speed is still only worthy for a demigod to possess. He is untraceable to the human eye, but can trace all of his opponents moves in hand-to-hand combat.

Unlimited Stamina: Asura's stamina is seemingly limitless, rage fuels his power gauge.
Asura's great durability (1)
Among other things that showcase his near invincibility, he was impaled by Augus' sword and withstands it. (2)
Absolute Durability and Endurance: As mentioned in the paragraph above, he can fight even with his arms chopped off, simply relying on headbutts and kicks, but that showcases his endurance. His durability is only replenished by his wrath, meaning he can take even the most brutal of beatings and scare opponents through sheer tenacity alone. He can get slammed all the way from Earth to the moon, and just get back up. He has survived enormous beams visible from outer space, including one that was designed to kill a demigod, being crushed by a giant finger that was long and proportionally large enough to crush him from outer space, and easily taking blows from opponents. His wrath is fueled even more by his emotional trauma of being betrayed. In the Lost Episodes DLC, he fought Akuma for 500 years.
Mantra Manipulation: Mantra is the cosmic energy generated by the emotion of humans and demigods alike and multiplied by prayers that stockpile to formulate the deities' power. The former Eight Guardian Generals apart from Asura and Yasha (who believed that this was just what was necessary to get rid of the Gohma) grew addicted to this mantra and discovered that by tricking humans into a false religion of sacrificing themselves and making them think their life was only for a short death, they would gain mantra quicker. They have killed seven trillion humans. This method for finally eradicating the Gohma was sinister, and they needed Mithra's power for it. Bearing characteristics similar to electricity, it can be transmitted and stored within conductors. Ironically, Asura had more morals than all the other demigods, who were self-centered. Thus, the angriest incarnation of Asura was born. Asura's Mantra affinity is Wrath. Therefore, his power stockpiles with every level of anger, eventually to a point where he transforms. He had a tragic amount of pain and suffering, trying hard to get revenge on the seven deities at once for killing his wife, unlawfully experimenting on his daughter, and killing the emperor and framing for it. He literally escapes perdition, only to be sent back by his own rival-- escapes again and overcomes impossible odds due to feeling anger rather than doubt.
Mantra Blasts: Using the red Mantra of wrath that he possesses; he can shoot an innumerous number of red energy-based projectiles. His energy blasts can target a precise danger coming at him such as a missile or minor enemy or take down an entire armada of ships in a dazzling display.
Mantra-Enhanced Attacks: Naturally, the source of his insane combat power comes from his wrath. Enhanced with Mantra, he can dash into opponents and send them flying, crush them to the ground with a ground pound, or just hurt them with a single punch.
Mantra Burst: Asura is able to stockpile an extremely large amount of wrath mantra and unleash it, causing shockwaves of variable sizes.
Asura's large amount of mantra
Immortality: His inability to rest in peace due to all of his wrath is likely what keeps him unable to die, even at the hands of a god. He comes back to life multiple times, guided by the Golden Spider, until Asura kills him after revealing that he was the god Chakravartin all along.
Magic Resistance: Chakravartin, the creator of reality itself, was unable to control Asura despite planning the events of his life (and the game as well). His plan for Asura was foiled by none other than Asura himself-- thanks to his sheer will and indomitable will/wrath. As a result, even being erased from existence fails to subdue Asura.
Reactive Adaptation: Asura is a battle genius, able to adapt to all of his opponents, even the tenacious Augus and the agile Yasha. Every resurrection, Asura was shown to be stronger, similarly to Doomsday.
Transformations: Asura is shown to be capable of many transformations, most of which are unknown to him until he has experienced the pain and suffering he experiences in the story.

Unlimited Mode: His body becomes covered in orange lines that emanate (from) mantra. Even prior to him dying at the hands of Yasha, Asura had mastery of this transformation mode, which multiplies his strength for as long as he keeps it up. He is able to stay in this form longer if he has more stamina, but if he gains even more wrath, he may transform into something even greater.
Six Armed Vajra Asura
Six Armed Vajra Asura: Asura grows more arms, giving him six arms instead of two. A possible English version of this name is Six Armed Indestructible Asura, as that is one way "vajra" can be translated. Using this form, his strength further multiplies the strength of the already greater strength of Unlimited Mode. He was able to lift Wyzen's giant finger after reaching this form. Since his mantra can now be launched from 6 arms instead of just two, he now becomes capable of mass destruction.
Berserker Asura
Berserker Asura: When Asura's wrath reaches its peak, he reaches an uncontrollable state of mind, filled with nothing but anger. He can no longer control his thoughts; all that this Asura automatically does is destroy. He no longer listens to reason, only the #1 reason for his wrath could possibly get to him: Mithra. He unlocks this form during the game (not knowing it before), shortly after finding out how the other deities are responsible for the deaths of over seven trillion humans, and kill even more right in front of him, so they can feed off of their souls for more power. This mode is how Asura is able to stand up against them, forcing them to use their superweapon, even among their standards: The Brahmastra. With this new power, Asura is able to create colossal amounts of mantra, capable of destroying fleets of ships and superweapons orbiting the planet while standing on the ground.
Wrath Asura
Wrath Asura: After being subdued by the Brahmastra, he reaches a state he could not naturally reach. It appears to just be a "burnt out" version of the Berserker mode. He is now covered in black. While less powerful than Berserker Asura, it was still powerful enough to overwhelm Yasha and kill any lesser deity in one slash. Gohma fodders are obliterated against this version of Asura. Its durability is still very vast, as it was able to take any hit from Yasha. Since this Asura has so little consciousness that it hardly feels pain, Yasha is the one who fights Asura, and throw combat and dialogue, brings him to his senses. Attacking in this state causes Asura to inflict more damage on himself than his enemies.
Mantra Asura: When Asura finally fights the Gohma Vlitra that is the main enemy to the entire world, he absorbs some of Mithra's power and gains new, unnatural power, even for a demigod. His mantra becomes ultimately precise and refined, being capable of conscious thought while still containing much more power than Berserker Asura. He now has armor that appears godlike, and his arms now hulking, appearing in front of a halo now floating behind his back. He was able to punch the Gohma Vlitra embodiment of the Vlitra Core on Earth so hard that with that tag-team punch with Yasha, they finally got rid of the Gohma. This created a massive crack in the Earth that wasn't merely visible from outer space, but it was a crack the size of a continent.
Six Armed Mantra Asura: This is the full set of Asura's armor that he wears with his Mantra form, as now Asura has six arms, all increased to hulking proportions with God-like armor. Of course, this transformation is many times more powerful than Mantra Asura. He unlocks this form in his fight with the creator of reality himself, Chakravartin.

Mantra Reactor Asura
Mantra Reactor Asura: After Yasha rips out the Mantra Reactor from the destroyed Karma Fortress and implants it in Asura's chest, the properties of the Mantra Reactor greatly increase Asura's strength, giving him room for infinite improvement. After Yasha is killed, the Mantra Reactor absorbs Yasha's mantra and makes Asura a whole lot stronger. The Karma Fortress is the holding facility for all the mantra the Seven Deities collected for "The Great Rebirth", kept intact by this very artifact, the Mantra Reactor. His anger can no longer destroy or harm his body, so he may exert more force without risking death, which is why it gives him infinite room for improvement, due to its absorption capabilities.
Asura the Destructor: In the main story, his ultimate form is Mantra Asura. However, in the continuation of the story where he fights Chakravartin, Yasha implants the Mantra Reactor in Asura and following his death, Asura reaches his maximum power, which was able to overwhelm the god of reality himself and assume God status. His durability was impossibly increased in proportion to his now planetary size, making the largest planets nothing but giant boulders to crush. He was large enough to act as a shield to Earth, which he did in order to save it from being destroyed by a large blast from Chakravartin, meaning he survived a planetary scale attack. His skin now becomes colored grey, a large halo appears on his back, and his four extra arms reappear. Not holding anything back against the god of reality, his blasts of mantra could destroy multiple planets and stars at once.
Asura the Destructor
Abilities[]
Master Hand to Hand Combatant: Unlike the other deities (whom rely on a specific technique, strategy and power to fight), Asura's main weapons are his fists and nothing else. Due to his anger management problems, he lacks any kind of refinement in his style, and charges at his enemies with pure brutality and aggression, combining his god-powers with his limitless wrath. This does not mean, however, that Asura has no skill or strategy whatsoever, and later proves to be a very proficient and tactful warrior, as a result of his years of experience and training. Having fought with them for a long time, Asura was able to quickly adapt to his ex-friends' new abilities and prove to be a match for even a highly proficient warrior and swordsman like Augus, as well as being able to fight Yasha despite being weakened and with his two arms tear off. Finally, in his battle with Chakravartin, he showed the peak of his skills and powers, having to fight the maker absolute; instead of using brute force as always, Asura chose to redirect his Chakravartin's attacks using his intelligence and agility, therefore finally getting the upper hand and defeating him and saving the world and Mithra. Due to his absolute reflexes, he can react to any impending danger in time measurements beyond seconds small. In cutscenes throughout the game, quick time events that Asura always reacts to (unless the player messes up) depicts Asura's low difficulty in countering attacks. In many fights across the game, not only is his running speed immense, but the speed at which he can fight is enough to overwhelm even the strongest of deities, and the fastest such as Yasha. Alongside his tenacity and wrath that strikes fear in even members of the Seven Deities, he can be equivalent to a combat god. He is so good at fighting that he can fight even with his arms chopped off, and still manage to fend off entire armies of Gohma.
Indomitable Will: Throughout the story, Asura's wrath grows larger and larger, and as such, his stubborn wrath refuses to desist. His willpower is supernaturally increased as a result of his powers. The stronger his wrath, the stronger his willpower is to overcome everything. His powers and mantra affinity increase his strength to the point where he will grow stronger and stronger the angrier he gets, similarly to Hulk. His indomitable will is enough to awaken him from death, and resist soul manipulation.
Weaknesses[]
Asura is an incredibly powerful entity, not just in his own universe, but even compared to others. Weaknesses he may have, though most of them are minor. But if Asura is capable of being killed, then he has to have weaknesses, and they are showcased here. This includes the cause of death. These weaknesses range from being implied or confirmed.
Sword Fighting: Due to Asura's brash style of combat, he is too quick to anger for him to focus on precision, making him an incompetent wielder of a sword. That is why even in training, he always fought with his fists. If he were to wield a sword in combat, he may automatically be out of the league of a mere mortal, but compared to the likes of Augus, he cannot match him in a sword duel. Asura is capable of delivering savage, powerful strikes with the sword, aimlessly, even more so when consumed by wrath. This was shown when he used Augus' sword, Wailing Dark, against him in battle, just using his mouth.
Berserking: When Asura enters Berserker mode or Wrath mode, he loses all control. His intelligence is greatly diminished in expense for absolute power, though even then, it is possible to still defeat Asura in battle. This is a weakness because it makes him unable to discern friend from foe.
Retreating: Once Asura gets into a fight, he lives (or dies) to see its end. When he fought Oni for 500 years, it showed that Asura is poor at getting fights to de-escalate, and it becomes a waste of time and energy.
Burst Mode is activated in gameplay whenever his gauge is full. This needs time to charge though, time that can also be used by a smart enemy. So, this is a weakness.
Power Gauge: The longer the fight ensues, the stronger Asura becomes. Against an opponent who has the ability to cut to the chase and unleash an ultimate, catastrophic attack, Asura would have been killed. However, now it seems Asura would have enough tank power to endure whatever comes at him. Previously, he was defeated by a mere chop. However, he has now shown to be able to survive impalement from a sword and being brutally smashed into the moon. This nevertheless prevents Asura from ending fights swiftly, a major weakness. This weakness makes opponents able to get the jump on him after, or during a long battle.
Crossovers: Ryu and Akuma were especially stronger in Asura's Wrath than they were in Street Fighter, especially Akuma. Thus, characters who cross into his world seem to receive an upgrade of grandeur power to spar with the god of wrath. This is impractical because it causes conflict, and Asura is not totally immortal.
Absence of Afterlife: Without the afterlife, more specifically, Naraka, Asura would not have his nigh immortality. Even in Naraka, if he fell down, he would fall for all of eternity and most likely never come back.
Mantra Erasure: This is the essence of all the deity's life, and this weakness is absolute; the reason why Asura died in the end of the game. Technically, Chakravartin killed Asura post-mortem since his departure erased all the mantra from existence.
Former Weaknesses[]
Amnesia: Upon returning to Gaea, he had lost all of his memory. All this does is make him frustrated, but vulnerable.
Dormancy: After returning to Gaea, while he was stuck in perdition, the deities had gotten a lot stronger, giving him a severe disadvantage.
Limited Speed: Yasha was not fast enough to prevent Olga from firing the Brahmastra, and Yasha is faster than Asura. If Yasha could not do it, then Asura likely could not have either, though this may have changed in the DLC when Asura becomes stronger.
Divine Power: Formerly, any sort of divine power was enough to subdue Asura, shown in Chakravartin's debut. However, due to the Reactive Adaption empowered by the Mantra Reactor, this has changed. Asura was able to kill Chakravartin.
Equipment[]
Wailing Dark: Asura briefly used Augus' sword, Wailing Dark, to kill him, with his mouth. Asura is likely capable of wielding a sword, though it is not his strong suit.
Mantra Reactor: A plundered gift from Yasha, that only Asura could use to the fullest extent. He used this to become Asura the Destructor.
Mantra Halo
Mantra Halo: For the first time in Mantra Asura form, Asura manifested a halo, upon which he drew an immense amount of mantra from. Using this halo, he can channel beams of immense energy, destroy fleets of giant space cruisers with one burst of raw anger, split the moon into two even pieces, and run and move faster than Yasha. It is possible that in this form, all of the energy in Asura cannot even be stored, giving him a halo.
Vajra Armor: The unofficially named Vajra armor is a golden metallic armor seen in four stages.
Vajra Asura: Basic armor attire.
Six Arm Vajra: Envelopes all six arms See above
Mantra Asura: Bulky armor covers his two arms See above
Six Arm Mantra Asura:See above
Gameplay[]
Asura's Wrath is a beat 'em up game that also has some segments in it that are on-rails. In the Lost Episodes DLC, it alternates between a fighting game and a beat 'em up game. During the beat 'em up segments of the game, Asura will fight small fodder enemies and some larger enemies simultaneously, that are normally of easy difficulty to defeat. The boss fights in Asura's Wrath are mainly where the difficulty presents itself, and even on normal, it is not entirely easy. Depending on how well Asura clears his path, you will gain a ranking, which ranges anywhere from D to S. The gameplay is the same with Yasha, but of course, Asura and Yasha have different powers, so their moves are also different. Asura fires mantra blasts for the on-rails portions of the game. The sake of this section is for Asura's abilities exclusive to gameplay, but not actually possessed by him. Certain gameplay elements can alter his abilities, which are the unlockable Gauges.
Gauges[]
The unlockable gauges that alter Asura's abilities in gameplay (without requirements) can be found below:
Defender: Decreases damage taken
Destructor: Fills up the Unlimited Gauge faster (Bar that indicates progress on being able to transform to Unlimited Mode)
Thermoregulator: Recover from overheating faster
Survivor: Length of time in Unlimited Mode is extended
Blind Master: None of the gauges are displayed throughout the game
Augur: All counterable attacks are automatically countered
Mortal: Reduces the length of the Life Gauge (Health bar)
Obliterator: Maintains the Unlimited Gauge at maximum at all times
Burst Gauge[]
See above: Weaknesses -> Power Gauge
Burst Mode is activated in gameplay whenever this gauge is full. This needs time to charge though, time that can also be used by a smart enemy. So, this is a weakness. Asura's boiling rage stockpiles itself to an intense degree to start a powerful attack on the enemy. In gameplay, it will often start QTEs (Quick time events) or cutscenes and may even deliver the finishing blow. This is an ability unique to gameplay.
Personality[]
Asura is inherently a warrior. He remains determined to the point of stubbornness and is very quick to anger. He prefers to charge into situations head-first, using force as others would breathe. Asura dislikes accepting the help of others and prefers to remain self-reliant. Asura is still conscientious at heart; however, his warrior's mentality often keeps this part of himself concealed. Despite all this, he deeply loves his wife and daughter, Durga and Mithra respectively. Asura also holds the highest moral of all the seven deities, refusing to sacrifice innocents in order to get more mantra, he is also extremely protective of humans (especially the girl who reminds him of his daughter) and is horrified and angered to discover how many lives his ex-partners had taken in order to get more mantra to fight the Gohmas, Asura's main traits (and flaw) is his rage, which can be contributed to him sensing people crying (as it's established, he hates seeing people, especially Mithra, crying), and was willing to do anything to save Mithra and stops her from crying.
Throughout the game, he showcased a godly portrayal of wrath, as if he was wrath incarnate. As the god of wrath, this is ideal, and many reviewers of the game noted how much wrath Asura has. Thus, this is his most notable quality. Upon the end of the game, Asura's wrath is finally gone, and he becomes reincarnated, living a happy life with his family. As the reincarnation of Asura, he is shown to be very courageous in this ending.
Relationships[]
Yasha[]
Asura and Yasha were rivals and best friends since the very beginning of Asura's Wrath, and for likely their entire lives. Following Asura's resurrection after his betrayal, Asura and Yasha start to hate each other, Asura thinking of Yasha as a false prophet and Yasha saying Asura is a fool. When Asura says "Who do you think you are?!", Yasha replies "God." Later, when he begins to question the Great Rebirth's legitimacy, he switches sides, and tries unsuccessfully to save Asura from being blasted by the Brahmastra by Olga. After Yasha saves Asura from Wrath Asura, they become brothers again and work together to fight Deus, and then the Gohma Vlitra and subsequently Chakravartin. Yasha dies for Asura so that he can use the power of the Mantra Reactor to defeat Chakravartin. They fist bump, and Asura states that he was always a brother to him.
Family[]
Mithra and Durga are Asura's family: daughter and wife respectively. He loves them both unconditionally and was distressed following Durga's meaningless death at the hands of his former allies, and loves Mithra so much, that he claims that that is the number one cause for his wrath. Upon saving Mithra from Chakravartin, his wrath is finally gone.
Augus[]
Augus was Asura's mentor. Following Asura's unbecoming, he feels he must kill Augus as a part of his vendetta. While Asura may have acted hostile towards Augus, Augus was never truly hostile towards Asura, and in reality, wanted to watch his pupil defeat him. He gave Asura encouraging words as his last, and over time, Asura's bitter feelings toward Augus fade away. Prior to this, they had a good relationship.
Ahria[]
The 13-year-old girl named Ahria from the village Asura comes across, who bears a striking resemblance to his daughter, Mithra. The village girl who had gained so much admiration for Asura meets an unfortunate end right in front of his eyes, due to Olga's assault. In that instant, his inability to save her and his hatred for the Seven Deities cause Asura to explode in a torrent of rage; he loses control of his own will and pierces the sky with his incredible power-- unlocking Berserker form. Ahria is simply referred to as "Girl" in-game.
Enemies[]
All of Asura's enemies are hated by Asura to an incredible extent. "They took everything, but the fires of rage burn within.
They will feel his wrath. Rage never dies". Regarding Chakravartin, it is impossible to estimate how much he hates him. He states that he is the sole person that he must kill, but unlike most vendettas, Asura's is against a god who scripted his suffering and scripted his wife's death. He gave him millennia of suffering, which is why he hates him more than anyone could possibly hate anything, especially since he is the god of wrath (technically).
Victims[]
This is a comprehensive list on how Asura was able to kill all of his enemies from the start of the game to the finish. Following his refusal of the deities' plan, he unintentionally makes an impressive amount of enemies with a mutual death wish. Even more astounding is that they were all former comrades. Asura's life is so messed up that even those he considered friends had to die at his hand. While the "Victims" section is normally reserved for villains, this is an appreciation of how magnificent his wrath is. It is also a shortcut to the story of how Asura was able to win at containing his wrath.
Augus was formerly Asura's trainer and master. Following Asura's unbecoming, he feels he must kill Augus for him to succeed in revenge, despite him being his former master. In their tough battle, Asura manages to slice Augus with his own blade, clenching it with his teeth. While Asura may have been hostile towards Augus, Augus was never truly hostile towards Asura, and just wanted to fight him one last time. Over time, Asura's bitter feelings toward Augus fade away, until finally, his wrath is gone.
Their on & off relationship reached its peak following the death of the Gohma Vlitra. During this peak, Yasha sacrificed himself so that Asura could become an individual being powerful enough to kill Chakravartin. Asura would wake up from a coma following the death of the Gohma Vlitra to find Yasha eagerly waiting to duel him. Unaware of his new strength, he subdues Yasha. Before he lands the finishing blow, he notices a smile on Yasha's face, revealing the Karma Reactor from the destroyed Karma Fortress attached to him. They fist bump before Yasha fades away.
Taison: High-ranking soldiers of the Shinkoku Army. On top of being skilled in hand-to-hand combat, their large bodies allow them to handle large weapons with ease.
Rasho: Middle-ranking soldiers of the Shinkoku Army. Fierce warrior types specializing in direct combat, they show no mercy toward their enemies. They command the Doji soldiers in troops.
Doji: Low-ranking soldiers of the Shinkoku Army. While not very competent, their power lies in their numbers and the various weapons they wield. They quickly get carried away and are easily confused. They often speak in short, one-word sentences. The Doji and Rasho drop from Lotus pods, which are a symbolic flower in Hinduism.
Kagebosh: Operator-type soldiers that manage the command system of the Shinkoku Army. Cold and emotionless, this type of soldier can process and relay intel at high speeds.
Wyzen: Wyzen died in his most powerful form as Asura imploded his finger, causing a chain reaction. Wyzen died in agony. This is the only person Asura defeats in his first resurrection.
Kalrow: His "flawless" strategy was thwarted, flabbergasting him for the first time in his eons of existence. Asura crushes him in an escape pod.
Sergei: Sergei is easily killed by Asura in his Wrath Form after the part where Olga purifies everyone in
Deus is finally defeated, thanks to the efforts of Asura and Yasha
the village following Asura's second resurrection.
Deus: Asura works together with Yasha to defeat and kill Deus, the orchestrator.
Gohma Vlitra: Killed by Asura and Yasha after defeating Deus together. Performed while under Mithra's blessing. By killing the Vlitra, Asura also becomes a genocidal savior, exterminating all the Gohma and driving them into extinction.
Furthermore, Asura's killing of the deities led to the disbandment of the Seven Deities. The only deity who is not killed by Asura is Olga.

Trivia[]
Asura's Mantra Affinity is Wrath.
Asura's power is similar to Hulk's power in Marvel Comics, but stronger than Hulk's power in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Asura's Berserker form bears a resemblance to Naruto Uzumaki's Four Tails mode. They both are unable to distinguish ally from foe in this state, attack everything subconsciously, and Asura has four giant arms while Naruto has four giant tails.
The Berserker form also looks very similar to the Gohma Vlitra.
It is worth noting that CyberConnect2 developed both Asura's Wrath as well as the entire Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series.
Asura has a lot more transformations than the other gods in Asura's Wrath.
Asura is based off of the Asuras in Hinduism and Buddhism, who are aggressive people (to be very much simplified).
Asura also shares similarities with Asura from Naruto, as both seem to be reincarnated.
Naruto and Hashirama are said to be the reincarnation of Asura, and the man seen in the final ending of the game is reincarnation of this Asura.
If Asura stares at a girl's assets for too long while in the hot springs with Augus, the player will unlock a "mock" achievement called "View of the Valley", with the description "Give in to your male instincts", and an animation will occur.
It is revealed that the hot spring attendant is actually a demigod as well, in the concept art called "Hot Spring Attendant", calling them "As graceful as they are deadly".
The icon for the game on Xbox 360 is a picture of Asura's face.
Asura bears a resemblance to Evil Ryu from Street Fighter, as both have spiky hair, tan skin, and red irises, as well as both of them being angry, and both from a Japanese franchise.
Asura appears in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition.
Asura has long been compared to an anime character, as the Determinator TV trope has been associated with anime/manga, especially of the Shōnen variety.
The only deity that Asura does not kill is Olga, who is killed by Chakravartin instead.
Asura is the only deity who has always been good.
A running gag in the game is "Press _ to shut ____ up". You have this option when fighting Wyzen, Augus, and Kalrow. Each time you press the button to shut them up, you will unlock an achievement or trophy that says "Shut Up, Wyzen!", "Shut Up, Augus!", or "Shut Up, Kalrow!".
Berserker and Wrath forms are the only forms where Asura can't activate Unlimited Mode.
Asura is regarded as the newest of the Eight Guardian Generals.
The game mistakenly calls Mantra Reactor Asura "Mantra Asura", even though that name had already been used to describe a previous transformation.
Fortress City Temple
The default background for Asura's Wrath on Xbox One via backward compatibility is the concept art called Fortress City Temple, which can be seen under Illustrations in the Extras section of the main menu.
Asura shares some similarities and differences from Kratos in the God of War franchise.
Both are brutal and violent berserkers; the main difference is that Asura is a protective demigod filled with endless rage while Kratos is a tragic warrior filled with grief and rage.
Asura's main weapon has nothing but fists while Kratos' main weapon is the double-chained blades.
Asura's goal is on a path of protection, while Kratos' goal is on a path of vengeance.
Asura seeks vengeance against those who betrayed him whereas Kratos seeks vengeance against the machinations of the gods and titans.
Both sacrifice their own lives to save the world; the other difference is that Asura defeated a god to free himself from his own wrath and save his daughter and the world using his mantra while Kratos defeated a god using the power of Hope and sacrificed his own life in order to bring Hope to the Greek pantheon.
The two fought in the 192nd episode of DEATH BATTLE! and Kratos won.
In some respects, Asura also resembles Guts, the main protagonist of the anime/manga series Berserk.
They have a similar hairstyle.
Both were brutally betrayed by those they once trusted (Asura by other demigods, and Guts by Griffith), and were deprived of almost everything they valued in life (Asura had his wife murdered and his daughter kidnapped for the selfish purposes of the demigods, and in front of Guts' eyes all his friends were killed and his lover, Casca, raped).
They both become hungry for revenge, and their main driving force is their rage and fury.
Asura in Berserker form looks and behaves very much like Guts using the Berserker armor.
They both lose their arms at some point (Guts loses his left arm during an Eclipse by one of the Apostles, and Asura loses it multiple times during a fight).
