{{quote|"I don't know how to save the world. What I do know is... if I save Mithra, '''THIS HELL WILL FINALLY END!!'''"''|Voice actors: [[Hiroki Yasumoto]] (JP), [[Liam O'Brien]] (EN)}}
The main character of ''Asura's Wrath''. Once one of the Eight Guardian Generals of Shinkoku Trastrium, Asura was betrayed and killed by his seven comrades. They framed him for the murder of Emperor Strada, killed his wife, and took his daughter away from him. Full of rage and a desire for revenge, he comes back to life with his wrath as his only weapon.
But the object of his wrath is not only revenge, but also the suffering of their world, Gaea. When his anger escalates, his Mantra activates and transforms him into a godly six-armed warrior.
His mantra affinity is Wrath.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[A God I Am Not]]: Refuses to go along with Chakravartin's scheme to make Asura into the world's new god since he believes that the world doesn't need a god like him.
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: After he gets the mantra reactor of the Karma Fortress he is able to use the power of all the 8 mantras.
Line 21 ⟶ 22:
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: As Asura the Destructor. He and Chakravartin's ultimate form completely dwarf even Sakra Devanam Indra Deus, and that '''REALLY''' says something.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: The [[Penny Arcade]] pre-order comic has this. Asura throws his house into space while looking for his keys; throws an oil tanker at a gas station, causing the town to explode when a moped cuts him off; punches the ground hard enough that the Earth swallows North America just because an old lady asks him for the date while paying for groceries with a check; and when he receives no-bubble tea with bubbles, he doesn't even tip.
* [[Back
* [[Bash Brothers]]: Does this with Yasha in Episode 18/True Episode 18. Bonus points for them actually being brothers-in-law. Subverted in that they don't even try coordinating attacks. They just both [[Spam Attack]] the opponent and manage to stay out of each other's way. This does occasionally result in [[Combination Attack|moments of surprising synergy]].
* '''''[[Badass]]''''': [[Up to Eleven|To]] [[Holy Shit Quotient|the extreme.]] He even cancels out [[Street Fighter|Shun]] [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|Goku]] [[One-Hit Kill|Satsu]] while fighting [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Evil Ryu]] and fights [[One-Winged Angel|Oni Akuma]] to a standstill.
Line 35 ⟶ 36:
** As the game revolves around berserking and makes wrath a central theme, it was perhaps inevitable that it would be [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstructed]]: Asura's anger in battle is so obscene and unfocused that he doesn't really get any pleasure from actually killing things. It's like an itch that he can't scratch. At first the fact that he can't calm down bugs him, then it genuinely confuses him, and then it starts freaking him out. In the end, he's able to focus his anger, but can find no way to quell it and even starts cursing his power. That is, until he killed Chakravartin/The Golden Spider in Part IV Nirvana]]. Sure, he died too afterward, but he managed to save Mithra, and [[[[Go Out with a Smile]] that was enough for him.
* [[Catch and Return]]: Does this with a god damned missile, a la [[The Incredible Hulk]].
* [[Clipped-Wing Angel]]: A rare heroic example, Wrath form. He takes this form after his Berserker form took a blast from the Brahmastra, he is covered in black colored armour and looks cracked. Its concept art says that when Asura attacks in this form he does more damage to ''himself'' then he does the enemy. Although that doesn't stop him from gutting and head-stomping Sergei and putting up a decent fight with Yasha.
* [[Character Development]]: His rage at being betrayed and his daughter kidnapped is tempered with indignation at how the innocent masses are treated. He later goes to attack the demigods not only to save his family and get revenge, but also to free humanity from their tyranny. Despite being a [[Jerkass]] ''par excellence'', his [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|instinctive concern for mankind puts him head and shoulders above the rest of the demigods, ethically speaking.]]
* [[Colossus Climb]]: Does one on Wyzen, [[Moment of Awesome|just to give him a good old fashioned punch to the face.]]
* [[Cutlass Between the Teeth]]: The remains of Wailing Dark. He holds it in his teeth due to losing his arms again at that point in the story.
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Asura has the option to [[Shut UP, Hannibal|Shut Hannibals Up]] during cutscenes.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Yasha is kind to and sort of supportive of Asura, but Asura isn't having any of it. It doesn't help that Yasha also keeps trying to outdo him in battle, which pisses off Asura who sees competition as pointless when in battle. After [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|beating up the Earth's core]] together, Asura is somehwhat less of an asshole to Yasha, a massive accomplishment in itself. Then, Asura is shown to be saddened once Yasha finally dies.
* [[Determinator]]: Keeps on fighting a guy who calls himself [[God]] after losing his freakin' arms! By the end of the game he's been ''killed'', '''four times''', and just keeps coming back on sheer fury and determination.
* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]]: [[Moment of Awesome|"I refuse."]]
* [[Disappears Into Light]]: After defeating Chakravartin, Mantra no longer exists. Because Asura's very life was tied into his Wrath Mantra, he dies like this, even when Mithra doesn't want it to happen. Definitely a [[Tear Jerker]].
* [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: Mantra Asura. An even better example is his planet sized Destructor form, which is his main power source for the final battle even after not using it.
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Lets one loose after having heard enough out of Chakravartin and before getting ready to fight him in ep 19.
* [[God Couple]]: Was this with Durga.
* [[Go Out with a Smile]]:
{{quote|'''[[Disappears Into Light|Asura]]''': [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|My wrath...Is finally....... Gone.]] [[Tear Jerker|Durga... I'll be home... soon.]]}}
* [[Good Old Fisticuffs]]: His preferred method of fighting. [[The Juggernaut|He needs nothing else.]]
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Has this permanently since his resurrection. They only return to normal in the [[True Ending]]. See [[Go Out with a Smile]] above.
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: He loses both his arms on a couple occasions, and has to fight without them. Of course [[Determinator|this doesn't]] [[Badass|stop, or even slow, him at all.]]
* [[Heartbroken Badass]]: Was this when he found Durga slain.
** Even more so when The Girl is bombed to death along with her village.
* [[Heroic RROD]]: His RAGE proves to be too much for his own arms to handle. ''Multiple times''. Good thing he can regenerate almost instantly.
** His own power becomes a major problem later on cause he can't go past his Mantra form without his own body being torn apart by his own power.
** His Wrath form is set on this by default
Line 61 ⟶ 62:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Killed Chakravartin despite knowing that it would also be the end of himself.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: VERY much so.
* [[Holy Halo]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20120722130116/http://www.ptfgn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/AsurasWrath_Gamestop_Artbook_PAPresentsComic_Cover1.jpg The cover of the concept artbook from the Game Stop pre order] has him with one, shown to be present back before he was betrayed, and it's even grander and bigger than Deus or Mithra's.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: His final form, Asura the Destructor, practically reeks of this.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Played with, whenever Yasha's around, since Asura insists on killing things whenever Yasha tries to think. Suicidal recklessness aside, Asura's already done plenty of pontificating on his journey. At the end of the game it's brought around full circle. Yasha tries to reason that there must be a better alternative to Deus' plans, while Asura cuts through his hesitation (12,000 years of hesitation, as a matter of fact) by saying that [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|ifs and hows were irrelevant, Deus needed to go down because the people of earth ''needed'' to be free of their torment]]—a fact he had learned only too well over the course of the game.
* [[In a Single Bound]]: Uses his fist to propel himself to extraordinary heights.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: The kindest word he has for his family is "Thanks" (though they sure as hell aren't fooled by the attitude). Nevertheless, he is visibly relaxed around them and fiercely protective of their safety, and it's otherwise clear that he loves them. Likewise, later in the game, though he's gruff to strangers and mostly yells, roars, or curses when he's irritated, he tries to protect The Girl when she follows him around and is deeply affected by the suffering he witnesses.
* [[The Juggernaut]]: Oh good lord... NOTHING will stop him from rescuing his daughter. In gameplay, he's a bit harder to knock down than the typical beat-'em-up protagonist, and he truly lives up to the trope in Unlimited Mode, where he'll more or less [[
* [[Ki Attacks]]: Shaped like his fists, and are his primary projectile.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Temporarily in the beginning of the game after being killed and thrown to earth 12,000 years prior to reawakening. And when [[Unstoppable Rage|he remembers...]]
Line 72 ⟶ 73:
* '''[[Like a Badass Out of Hell]]'''
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Much more so than any video game protagonist has any right to be. Somewhat More Bruiser than lightning though, when compared to Yasha, the other playable character. Asura is stronger, better with crowds, and can knock enemies around more easily, including bosses.
** Interestingly, the final act of the game highlights another aspect of his [[Lightning Bruiser]]-dom, his sheer ''agility''. He may not be as fast as Yasha, but he sure as hell is a lot more agile than him. This, more than anything else, is what allows Asura to outfight [[True Final Boss|Chakravartin]], who is borderline ''[[Reality Warper|omipotent]]'', while Asura is at his ''weakest''.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: ''Asura'' can be interpreted as "powerful" or "mighty."
* [[Meditating Under a Waterfall]]: Before the final battle with Chakravartin.
Line 111 ⟶ 112:
* [[Tragic Monster]]: Berserker and Wrath Asura, post episode 12.
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: His [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower|Mantra Asura]] form. His anger hasn't diminished in the slightest, but he's much more focused in this form.
* [[Tsundere]]: Type A, before being betrayed. Gentle and kind to his Wife Durga and Daughter Mithra, angry and usually very aggressive towards everyone else.
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: His whole character, but the second half of episode 12 is [[Up to Eleven]].
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: He was used as a scapegoat by the other deities, which quick-starts the plot of the game.
* [[Up, Up, and Away]]: Often does the arms out forward when flying or gliding in the air.
* [[Use Your Head]]: When he has no arms, this is his preferred finisher.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Platinum Silver Hair]]
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: He doesn't seem to wear shirts that often, if at all.
* [[Weak but Skilled]]: Surprisingly, this is one of his greatest strengths, if not the greatest. When fighting Chakravartin, the most powerful being in the universe, he gets kicked all the way down to his base form. When fighting Chakravartin's final form, instead of overwhelming him with strength, he uses his agility to outmaneuver and redirect Chakravartin's attacks.
* [[Wipe the Floor with You]]: Does this to Wyzen at the end of the first part of their fight. Also does this to an [[Elite Mook]] in Chapter 9, and to [[Street Fighter IV|Oni]] in ''Lost Episode 2''.

* [[Go Out with a Smile]]: [[Tear Jerker|"Please, Be Safe."]]
* [[God Couple]]
Line 140:
* [[Sacrificial Lamb]]
* [[Women Prefer Strong Men]]: Look at who she married. Though it's also clear that she genuinely loves him because she can tell that he's a good man under his angry shell.

She is able to freely manipulate and amplify the demigods' source of power - Mantra. Deus kidnaps her in order to use her power for his own. Before Emperor Strada's assassination, she was one of the candidates to succeed the throne.

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Acrofatic]]
* [[A God Am I]]: Constantly proclaims how powerful he and the Seven Deities are.
Line 200 ⟶ 198:
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Of humans.
* [[Fat Bastard]]: And gets bigger the angrier he gets.
* [[Fat Idiot]]: Even the other Deities regard him as such, Yasha using the exact Trope Name to describe him.
* [[Finger-Poke of Doom]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJJOTeZcAzQ&feature=related Yes]. But the catch is? It fails.
* [[Ground Pound]]: Does this to Asura during the second part of their fight, and then punches him repeatedly into the ground. [[Super Mode|It doesn't work.]]
Line 206 ⟶ 204:
* [[Holy Halo]]: Best seen when he powers up.
* [[Jerkass]]: He's described as being condescending towards humans, and in-game, he's shown to be quite the unlikable fellow.
* [[Large Ham]]:
* [[Megaton Punch]]: Tries this against Asura. [[Moment of Awesome|He fails.]]
** While falling from midair and dive bombing no less.
Line 214 ⟶ 212:
* [[Power Fist]]: More prominent in his normal form, where it is barely about the size of him!
* [[Sequential Boss]]
* [[Shut
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Starter Villain]]: The first of the Seven Deities that Asura fights.
* [[Stupid Evil]]: Even his allies call him an idiot for expending so much Mantra in one - failed - attempt to slay Asura.
* [[That's No Moon]]: Nope, that's ''HIM.''
* [[Warmup Boss]]
* [[Yellow Eyes]]
== Augus ==
[[File:s Wrath Augus 9449.jpg|
{{quote|"Relax my son. Enjoy every moment. You fight, then you eat good food. You fight, then you drink fine wine. You fight, then you sleep with beautiful women. Hell, fight with Beautiful women! That's what it truly means to live."|Voice Actors: [[Unsho Ishizuka]] (JP), [[Imari Williams]] (EN)}}
Line 232 ⟶ 230:
His mantra affinity is Greed.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[A Glass in the Hand]]
* [[Affably Evil]]: Not exactly evil, as he's shown to prefer hanging out with his servant girls at his mansion, but he's still an opponent of Asura's who is nonetheless quite affable indeed.
Line 241 ⟶ 239:
* [[Bash Brothers]]: He was this with Asura back in the day, according to him at least.
* [[BFS]]: [[Up to Eleven|Holy crap.]]
** Confirmed to be [https://web.archive.org/web/20130528111459/http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/16/overheard-tgs-just-how-long-is-that-sword-in-asuras-wrath/ 380,000] Kilometers long. Eat your heart out, [[Final Fantasy VII|Sephiroth]]!
** Hell, [[Bleach|Gin]] would be jealous.
* [[Blind Seer]]/[[Disability Superpower]]: Turns out in his profile he actually IS blind. Even [[Lampshade Hanging|Asura says it outright]]. Subtle but noticeable in-game, too, as at first glance Augus' eyes look just like the enraged Asura's, but lack the slightly reddish pupils that mark Asura's eyes. Augus' eyes are pure white.
* [[Blind Weaponmaster]]
* [[Blood Knight]]: Incredibly so, just about every other line that comes out of this guys mouth has something to do about fighting and how much he ''loves'' it. Punctuated by the line:
{{quote|"I don't fight for good, and I don't fight for evil! I just fight!"}}
* [[The Brute]]: The role he's meant to play among the Seven Deities, given that's he relies purely on his strength. That being said, he's actually a pretty good guy when you get right down to it.
Line 251 ⟶ 249:
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[Cool Sword]]: Wailing Dark. ''Nothing'' excites him more than using it.
* [[Climax Boss]]
* [[Development Gag]]: His design and personality were based off of a very early design of Asura, who had two swords back then.
* [[Dirty Old Man]]
* [[The Dreaded]]: It's no secret to anyone on Gaea that he's the most brutal fighter of the Seven Deities and not someone whose bad side you'd want to be on.
* [[Eccentric Mentor]]:
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: How else can you describe someone who takes his foe to a hot spring resort before they have to fight to the death?
* [[Flash Step]]: Can move really damn fast when fighting him, especially when he uses his sword.
* [[Go Out with a Smile]]
Line 265 ⟶ 266:
* [[Holy Halo]]: Like the other deities, more prominently seen when powering up.
* [[I Am Not Left-Handed]]: Only draws his sword when the fight is ''worth'' it. Prior to that, he'll fight only using his firsts or with the sheathed blade.
* [[I Fight for the Strongest Side]]: as shown in episode 15.5's interlude, Augus wasn't interested in joining the eight Guardian Generals at first, stating that they were "weaklings". Then Deus came along and fought him to a tie. After the fight, Deus promises Augus that all battles will be like the one they were in if he joins his cause. [[Blood Knight|Augus complies]].
* [[Implacable Man]]: Asura at base strength without any extra arms can't even move him a budge from where he stands.
* [[Klingon Promotion]]: Inherited the position of Guardian General from the one he killed.
Line 277 ⟶ 278:
* [[Old Master]]: Asura's and Yasha's, to be exact.
* [[Occidental Otaku]]: His reincarnation in the Japanese version, who came to Japan to collect Japanese swords, and tries his best to speak Japanese to locals that look like former Demi-god minions.
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Augus doesn't care at all for Deus' cause, and actually expresses some disgust at the idea of ending the war with the Gohma. In fact, he's the only Guardian General not present when Deus throws Asura from space.<ref>Save Wyzen, who was busy being unconscious after he tried taking on Asura earlier</ref> He only works with Deus because he promised an endless slew of good fights, with them culminating in his final confrontation with Asura.
* [[Sequential Boss]]: You fight him when he just uses his fists, and then when he uses his sword.
* [[Shut
* [[Sink or Swim Mentor]]
* [[Sword Beam]]: Spams this after unsheathing Wailing Dark.
* [[Training Boss]]: Episode 3 in the tutorial level.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Only ''two'' foes have ''ever'' been considered worthy enough (in his opinion) to actually use his sword, Deus and Asura. Dues himself clearly realizes the significance of this while witnessing the battle with Asura.
* [[You Kill It, You Bought It]]: The 15.5 DLC reveals how Augus became a Guardian General. He killed one, which piqued Deus' interest in him. After the two fought, Augus agreed to serve him as long as all his fights were as great as the one they had (which was enough for him to take out his sword).

Line 338 ⟶ 337:
{{quote|"Enjoy your new lease on life."}}
* [[Cutscene Boss]]: For all purposes, the guy doesn't even put up a fight.

* [[Evil Old Folks]]
Line 346:
* [[Magitek]]: Has a staff with wheels and a platform in the shape of a segway.
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: One normal with an eyelid, one robotic without.

* [[Power Floats]]

{{quote|-- Voice Actors: [[Junichi Suwabe]] (JP), [[Robin Atkin Downes]] (EN)}}
Line 400 ⟶ 398:
His mantra affinity is Melancholy.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[A God Am I]]: As shown in his Badass Boast, though he proves to be more empathetic to the mortals than the other deities.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Is the only Deity who feels any form of guilt for his actions.
* [[Badass]]: He manages to beat up [[The Juggernaut|ASURA]] for god's sake!
* [[Badass Boast]]:
{{quote|'''Asura:''' Who do you think you are?!
'''Yasha (calmly):''' God. }}
Line 437 ⟶ 435:
* [[Tragic Villain]]: Prior to his [[Heel Face Turn]].
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Went along with Deus' cause because he felt that it was best for the world. Until he fought Wrath Asura, that is.

{{quote|"Power without a purpose is meaningless and worthless. A purpose that is firm can change the impossible to the possible."|Voice Actors: [[Masashi Ebara]] (JP) [[David Pizzuto]] (EN)}}
Line 448 ⟶ 445:
A Demigod who once was the Commander of the Eight Guardian Generals. After betraying Emperor Strada and framing Asura for his death, Deus took the rest of the generals and formed the Seven Deities.
They rule over Shinkoku Trastrium as self-proclaimed gods. Deus takes much pride in being the "protector" of the world, and believes that his actions are righteous.
He has a brash way of speaking, though since he has absolute confidence in his abilities, it does not come across as offensive or unpleasant.
His mantra affinity is Pride.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[A God Am I]]: Played quite interestingly. He sees his god status as more of a title that he needs to wear during this time until the great rebirth where he plans to resign.
** However at the end of the game it seems as the [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|power have gone him a little up to the head.]]
Line 469 ⟶ 466:
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Avoided with his reincarnation, as he takes time out of his work to help an old man cross a street (who is [[Irony|Emperor Strada reincarnated]]).
* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]
* [[Determinator]]: It took several battles to slow him down at all, with him stepping up his game each time. At many points, you get to see him [[

* [[Fighting with Chucks]]: [[I Call It Vera|The Sakras]], his weapon of choice.
Line 492 ⟶ 489:
* [[Tragic Villain]]: Shows definite signs of this, however he is better at hiding it than Yasha.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Everything he did was for the purpose of permanently destroying Gohma Vlitra.

* [[Zerg Rush]]: Doji's basic strategy.
== The Girl ==
{{quote|"Everyone did nothing but pray. But he took action!"|Voice Actor: [[Rie Kugimiya]]}}
A girl of the village that enshrine Asura's remains after his first battle with Yasha. She bears a striking resemblance to Asura's daughter, Mithra. Though faithful and worshipful towards Asura, after the Seven Deities massacred her village, she began to harbor hatred for the gods and is the only one to renounce them.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Everyone Calls Her Girl]]: At least the narration does.
* [[Morality Pet]]: To Asura. She is the only one shown to be able to calm Asura down. And Asura goes to great lengths to keep her safe. When she dies he loses it, and goes completely berserk.
Line 531 ⟶ 529:
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: To Mithra, right down to the japanese voice actress.
** Also Asura supposedly looks a lot like her father.
* [[Too Long; Didn't Dub]]: Just like the random villagers through the game, her dialogue is not translated, having no English VA and no subtitles in her appearances; this appears to have been a stylistic choice. However, you are privy to her lines in episodes 8 and 11's interludes.
* [[What the Hell, Townspeople?|What The Hell Villagers]]

{{quote|-- Voice Actors: [[Ryusuke Obayashi]](JP) [[Keith Silverstein]] (EN)}}
The 128th Emperor of Shinkoku. The highest authority in Shinkoku, he had the Eight Guardian Generals under his direct command. Without any gains being made in the endless war with the Gohma, the Emperor began to lose hope in their victory. He was betrayed and killed by one of his own Guardian Generals, Deus.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[The Emperor]]
* [[Sacrificial Lamb]]
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Deus requested that he build a strong army to permanently defeat the Gohma. He didn't listen.

[[File:rsz asuras wrath gohma vlitra 1880.png|
The most powerful of all Gohma. It appears every few thousand years to wreak havoc upon civilization. It is the embodiment of the planet's rage, unleashing Gohma upon any who threaten to harm the planet.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]
* [[Big Bad]]: The other big bad of the game, and the leader of the gohma.
Line 586 ⟶ 581:
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: In the end, Chakravartin exploited Gaea's rage for his own purposes. While he gave the planet mantra and in turn the ability to summon the Gohma, it all the time did exactly what Chakravartin expected it to do.
== The Golden Spider/Chakravartin, The Creator ==

The ruler of Naraka. After Asura is killed, it guides his soul back to the real world. He is in reality Chakravartin, the omnipotent god that controls the world of Gaea. He is attempting to give birth to the redeemer to take his place (as the next god) through the trials that he puts the world through. No one on Gaea is aware of his existence.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Commands]]: In a major surprise, [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall|The computer deigns to show us]] [[Evil Counterpart|Chakravartin's own]] which show up at the end of the final fight with him, [[Villainous Valor|showing his gradual weakening as the game pits Asura and your action commands against Chakravartin's]]. Eventually, Chakravartin will start messing up his inputs.
** While cathartic as all hell, the mechanic is suddenly introduced at the end of an extremely tough battle at which point most players nerves are frayed into shreds. Cue a frantic minority of [[Interface Screw|players searching desperately for the blue swirly button on their controllers, only to miss Asura's actual commands]].
Line 632 ⟶ 627:
* [[Physical God]]
* [[Powers That Be]]: a [[Big Bad]] Example. [[Moment of Awesome|Asura]] [[Asura's Wrath/Awesome|kills him.]]
* [[Pummel Duel]]: When he's been hit one too many times, he absolutely ''looses his shit'' and tries to beat Asura to a pulp with his bare hands.
* [[Rasputinian Death]]: This guy took no less than '''10''' bursts before finally dying.
* [[Reality Warper]]
Line 644 ⟶ 639:
* [[Storm of Blades]]: Another one of his Final form's basic Projectiles is this.
* [[Sucking-In Lines]]: His giant form's laser attacks do this before firing.
* [[Time Stands Still]]: One of his attacks does this accompanied with [[
* [[Treacherous Advisor]]
* [[Trickster Mentor]]: Helps Asura to escape Naraka by angering him with probing questions that restore his memory.
Line 652 ⟶ 647:
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: He tries to come across as one of these, saying he was causing the world suffer in order to get an heir after countless Eons of destroying and recreating the planet of Gaea, so that he can explore other worlds and guide others. Asura calls him out on this immensely, and as he beats down Chakravartin, [[Complete Monster|it's obvious that Chakravartin's intentions are nothing but shallow.]]
