== Asura the Destructor ==

 

{{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)}}

 

 

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.

* [[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.

* [[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''.

 

== Durga ==

She is killed during Deus' coup d'etat.

* [[Go Out with a Smile]]: [[Tear Jerker|"Please, Be Safe."]]

* [[God Couple]]

* [[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.

 

== Mithra ==

 

{{quote|[[Narrator All Along|And that, was how my father lived.]]|Voice Actors: [[Rie Kugimiya]] (JP) [[Kari Wahlgren]] (EN)}}

 

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.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl|Blue-Haired Pretty Girl]]

* [[Brought Down to Normal]]

* [[She's All Grown Up]]: After being sent home by Asura's remaining mantra, due to becoming mortal after [[The Magic Goes Away|Chakravartin is destroyed meaning mantra no longer exists.]]

== Wyzen ==

 

{{quote|"Asura the traitor; Asura the destructor; you do not belong in this world. Diiiiieeeeee!"|Voice Actors: [[Chafurin]](JP) [[Brad Grusnick]] (EN)}}

 

His mantra affinity is Violence.

* [[Acrofatic]]

* [[A God Am I]]: Constantly proclaims how powerful he and the Seven Deities are.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Of humans.

* [[Fat Bastard]]: And gets bigger the angrier he gets.

* [[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.]]

* [[Power Fist]]: More prominent in his normal form, where it is barely about the size of him!

* [[Sequential Boss]]

* [[Smug Snake]]

* [[Starter Villain]]: The first of the Seven Deities that Asura fights.

== Augus ==

 

{{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)}}

 

His mantra affinity is Greed.

* [[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.

* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]

* [[Cool Old Guy]]

* [[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]]

* [[Eccentric Mentor]]:

* [[Flash Step]]: Can move really damn fast when fighting him, especially when he uses his sword.

* [[Go Out with a Smile]]

* [[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.

* [[Sink or Swim Mentor]]

* [[Sword Beam]]: Spams this after unsheathing Wailing Dark.

* [[Training Boss]]: Episode 3 in the tutorial level.

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]

* [[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).

{{quote|-- Voice Actors: [[Chikao Ohtsuka]] (JP) [[Keith Szarabajka]] (EN)}}

 

His mantra affinity is Sloth.

* [[Beard of Evil]]

{{quote|"Enjoy your new lease on life."}}

* [[Cutscene Boss]]: For all purposes, the guy doesn't even put up a fight.

{{quote|-- Voice Actors: [[Junichi Suwabe]] (JP), [[Robin Atkin Downes]] (EN)}}

 

His mantra affinity is Melancholy.

* [[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.

* [[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.

 

== Deus ==

{{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)}}

 

 

His mantra affinity is Pride.

* [[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.]]

* [[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.

 

== The Shinkoku Forces ==

{{quote|'''Doji'''

"All Troops, commence purification!|Voice Actors: [[Kunihiko Yasui]] (JP) [[Tim Blaney]] (EN)}}

* [[Sword Beam]]: Some Rasho's have a weapon that does this.

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[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]]

 

== Emperor Strada ==

{{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.

* [[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.

 

== The Gohma Forces ==

* [[The Corruption]]/[[The Heartless]]

* [[Everything's Better with Monkeys]]/[[Maniac Monkeys]]: Gohma Howlers.

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: They are the very will of Gaia that have become completely lost to rage and hatred.

* [[War Elephants]]: Gohma Crushers

 

== Gohma Vlitra/The Will of Gaea ==

 

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.

* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]

* [[Big Bad]]: The other big bad of the game, and the leader of the gohma.

* [[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.

* [[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]].

* [[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.]]
