{{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
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.
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[Anti
* [[Attack of the
* [[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
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Twice during the game he punches things so hard that his arms ''shatter''. Running around with only his legs and forehead as weapons does not hinder any of Asura's ass-kicking.
* [[Like a Badass Out of Hell]]: Or the Buddhist equivalent. Bonus points for doing it three times.
Line 54 ⟶ 30:
** Crying in general will set him off, though it's not the crying itself that angers him. It's the implication that someone is ''making'' someone else cry.
** Calling him a god is also not advised.
* [[Big "Shut Up!"]]: a great many characters can be [[Shut UP, Hannibal|silenced]] [[Talk to
* [[Blood Knight]]: Was this in his younger days, however after he got Mithra he mellowed out.
* [[Bring It]]: His response to having a demigod the size of a PLANET send down his mountainous FINGER down to crush him. [[Badass|He wins.]]
* [[The Berserker]]: The game is called "Asura's Wrath" for a reason.
** 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
* [[Catch and Return]]: Does this with a god damned missile, a la [[The Incredible Hulk]].
* [[Clipped
* [[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
* [[Explosive Overclocking]]
* [[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
{{quote|
* [[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
* [[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
** This is fixed later thanks to Yasha implanting the Karma Fortress' Mantra Reactor into Asura.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Killed Chakravartin despite knowing that it would also be the end of himself.
* [[Hot
* [[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]]
* [[In a Single Bound]]: Uses his fist to propel himself to extraordinary heights.
* [[Jerk
* [[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
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Furious" and "One who destroys the ring" as Asura the Destructor.
* '''[[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.
* [[Megaton Punch]]: Quite Literally, as he punches through Wyzen's own [[Megaton Punch]] so hard, he punches him into OUTER SPACE!
** Not to mention the ones he pulls on later bosses, especially [[True Final Boss|Chakravartin]].
* [[Multi
* [[Never Hurt an Innocent]]: Holds the greatest regard for innocent life out of all of the Divine Generals. Even as Wrath Asura he focuses his rampage on the Deities' armies and the Gohma.
* [[No
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: He screams CONSTANTLY.
* [[One
* [[One
** Normal
** Vajra, his most common form.
** Six-armed Vajra, same as Vajra [[Exactly What It Says
** Mantra, the strongest form he can achieve without tearing himself apart. It is used with six arms in his final fight against Chakravartin.
** Wrath, a [[Clipped
** Berserker, an insanely powerful form where he looses all sense and reason where he destroys practically everything until he destroys his own arms.
** The Destructor, a gigantic form that puts him equal to a god. He could only achieve this form after getting the Karma fortress mantra reactor inserted into him in order for his body to handle the enormous amounts of mantra.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Is trying rescue his daughter. [[One
** Even prior to the events of the game, it was shown that he was unwilling to let Mithra become the Priestess since he refused to have her becoming a tool of war, despite her protests.
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Also to the extreme. He's pretty much a walking nuclear missile silo ''before'' he enters Berserker state.
* [[Physical God|Physical Demigod]]: A REALLY powerful one, at that.
* [[Primal Stance]]/[[Limp and Livid]]: His wrath form does this sometimes. [[Oh Crap|This shows that he has completely lost it.]]
* [[Rapid
* [[Red Eyes]]
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Red Oni to Yasha's Blue. Visually expressed through their auras.
* [[Rocket Punch]]: Somewhat, In his Mantra and Destructor forms he is able to shot massive amounts of mantra out of his elbows that he can use to propell him forward. He can also use it to enhance the power of his punches.
* '''[[The Scream]]''': Nearly the entirety of Episode 12's conclusion once he sees the corpse of the Girl.
* [[The Stoic]]: Usually quiet outside of battle. But when he gets going, [[Large Ham|he really starts going.]]
** [[Large Ham]]/[[Chewing the Scenery]]: Always screaming every line he says when really angry.
* [[Stop Worshipping Me!]]
* [[Sucking
* [[Superpower Meltdown]]: Happens to him in the end of episode 11.5.
* [[Taken for Granite]]: Happens to him in the end of Lost Episode 2. Not that it stops him.
Line 135 ⟶ 111:
* [[Token Good Teammate]]: When he worked with the other demigods, believe it or not, he probably held the most regard for innocent life out of all of them. It's not really apparent until after the fact, though. Whereas every one of his teammates either doesn't have that instinct or suppresses it like hell.
* [[Tragic Monster]]: Berserker and Wrath Asura, post episode 12.
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: His [[Eleventh
* [[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

Line 158 ⟶ 132:
She is killed during Deus' coup d'etat.

Line 165 ⟶ 139:
* [[Opposites Attract]]: She fell in love with a man that didn't know what to do to stop a baby crying except punching the cause.
* [[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.

{{quote|[[Narrator All Along|And that, was how my father lived.]]|Voice Actors: [[Rie Kugimiya]] (JP) [[Kari Wahlgren]] (EN)}}
Line 177 ⟶ 150:
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:}}
* [[White
* [[Brought Down to Normal]]
* [[The Chosen One]]: Was chosen to be Priestess specifically because she had the capacity to manipulate Mantra. [[Papa Wolf|Asura was not pleased.]] She is also the Golden Spider's chosen vessel.
Line 192 ⟶ 165:
** Somewhat subverted in the fact that she only looks to be around 13, even after 12,000 years. Asura is actually much older, looking to be around 27.

Line 210 ⟶ 182:
His mantra affinity is Violence.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Acrofatic]]
* [[A God Am I]]: Constantly proclaims how powerful he and the Seven Deities are.
Line 217 ⟶ 189:
** It's even hinted this form is much ''Weaker'' than his previous ones, because it's hard to maintain any real speed he might of had before, making him pathetic compare do the other planet sized entities in the game.
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]
* [[The Brute]]: Relies on solely his physical strength, and then pumps himself up with mantra in order to crush Asura as he's beaten.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Along with being the very first demi-god fought in the game (And the only one besides Yasha and deus to be fought twice), not only is he the first one of the deities to die, but even the other deities see him as nothing more than a big joke despite being the biggest of them physically.
** Even his reincarnated form is this, as he's only a petty thug compared to the other reincarnated Demigods.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: '''KURIKARA FUDO UCHI'''!
* [[Climax Boss]]: Not quite as much as later bosses, but he does have chapter all to himself when he becomes the size of Earth itself.
* [[Clipped-Wing Angel]]: His Gongen form makes him ENORMOUS, but also severely limits his mobility, which bites him in the ass when Asura punches his finger so many times that it causes many chain reactions, and he's basically helpless.
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Pretty much his role with the Deities. Especially when he uses more Mantra than necessary just to end up weaker.
* [[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.]]
* [[Hand Cannon]]: Fires missiles from the side of his arms
* [[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.
* [[Oh Crap]]: His expression when Asura shoots down his flagship.
** Also his expression when Asura fights back against his [[Finger
* [[One
* [[Power Fist]]: More prominent in his normal form, where it is barely about the size of him!
* [[Sequential Boss]]
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: You're able to interrupt him while he's gloating towards Asura via a punch to the face.
* [[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:
{{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 252 ⟶ 230:
His mantra affinity is Greed.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[A Glass in
* [[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.
* [[Badass]]: Yep.
** [[Badass Grandpa]]: Oh hell yes.
** [[Badass Normal]]: For a demigod, at any rate. Augus believes that relying on Mantra makes one weak, and that this is why Wyzen and Karlow were defeated by Asura. He doesn't use Mantra at all, which says something pretty scary about his overall capabilities.
* [[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|
* [[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.
* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good|Blood Knights Cannot Comprehend]] [[Papa Bear|Parental Protectiveness]]
* [[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
* [[Graceful Loser]]
{{quote|
* [[Go
* [[Half the Man He Used To Be]]: How he met his end by Asura using Wailing Dark against him.
* [[The Hedonist]]: "I have had carnal knowledge of the fairest maidens in Heaven. I have partaken of the finest wines of Gaea. But ''nothing'' excites my blood more than drawing my sword!"
* [[Hoist
* [[Holy Halo]]: Like the other deities, more prominently seen when powering up.
* [[I Am Not Left
* [[I Fight for
* [[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 294 ⟶ 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
* [[Sequential Boss]]: You fight him when he just uses his fists, and then when he uses his sword.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Though when it's done to him, he tanks it while looking amused.
* [[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).

* [[Oh Crap]]: Looks terrified right before his death.
* [[Troll]]: Revealed that he was Durga's killer for the sole reason of evoking a reaction from Yasha.
** It is also implied by some texts that he didn't have have orders to kill Durga but did it anyway in order to seriously piss of Asura.

* [[Not Helping Your Case]]: While begging Asura to spare his worthless hide, he tells him that they had the best intentions when they turned Mantra into a living battery. The exact reason Asura is so angry at him.
* [[Oh Crap]]: When he realises Asura latched on to his escape pod. He also has this reaction when Asura survives a GIANT LASER fired at him point blank.

* [[Handshake Substitute]]: Receives a fist bump from Asura. Or rather, his corpse does, right before he dissipates.

Line 435 ⟶ 422:
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Orphan wolf legend". It has three variations, "Wind", "Fang" and "Bonds".
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: In a contrast to Asura, he is more lighting than bruiser, though he is still really strong. He's a little weaker, much quicker, easier to control, and can keep pressure on single enemies like bosses more easily.
* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]]: Believes in Deus' cause in spite of all the suffering that comes from it. Until he fights Wrath Asura. He even calls himself a demon for being willing to follow the cause.
* [[Not So Different]]: In-universe, he has his moments of fury expressed while doing something amazing. In gameplay terms, he shares the same controls as Asura. He even admits as such in Episode 21.

Line 459 ⟶ 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.

== 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.
* [[No Name Given]]
Line 540 ⟶ 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.

== Emperor Strada ==
{{quote|
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.
== The Gohma Forces ==

* [[The Corruption]]/[[The Heartless]]
* [[
* [[
* [[Expy]]: Of the [[
* [[Flying Aircraft Carrier]]: While not sharing the look, Gohma Carriers have this as a primary funtion of deploying other, smaller gohma into space.
* [[
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Demon ruination". Larger Gohma have "Demon curse".
* [[Magma Man|Magma Animals]]
Line 572 ⟶ 558:
* [[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 ==
[[File:
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
* [[Big Bad]]: The other big bad of the game, and the leader of the gohma.
* [[Bishonen Line]]: Vlitra's Core. In a unique twist, it exists independant alongside the outer form on the earths surface.
Line 588 ⟶ 573:
* [[Magma Man|Magma Monster]]
* [[Mirror Boss]]: The humanoid core looks like a bigger, even meaner version of Berserker Asura.
* [[One
* [[Orochi]]: It takes this form, with eight giant heads that has a wide enough circumference to tower over the planet, and is probably one of the biggest representations of this ever.
* [[Sealed Evil in
* [[Sequential Boss]]: You fight his forces that come up from the earth first, then one of its heads, then all its heads and then its face, then its core in the earth's center.
* [[True Final Boss]]
Line 596 ⟶ 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.

[[File:
{{quote|
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
** 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]].
* [[A God Am I]]: Just like the rest of the enemies in the game, except this time it's truly a [[Justified Trope]].
* [[Anthropomorphic Personification]]: Claims to represent Samsara.
* [[Attack of the
* [[Bigger Bad]]: The real final bad guy of the game, as hinted in the ep 18 recap.
* [[Big Damn Villains]]: Saves Mithra from Olga.
Line 616 ⟶ 601:
* [[Determinator]]: Much like Deus before him, Chakravartin does not give up, and takes quite a few stages to whittle down. As pointed out elsewhere on this page, you have to fill up and use your Instant-Win Button ''ten'' times on him to defeat him. And even then, he goes down fighting as you slowly overpower him.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]
* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]/ [[This Cannot Be!]]: He Just doesn't understand why Asura was able to defeat him.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Asura. He's a glowing gold deity of life, while Asura is a demonic red entity of wrath, and both are the only things in each other's power level. His final form is more clearly a counterpart to Asura's Wrath form, in the same way that the Vlitra Core was a counterpart to his Berserker form.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: He appears to be a calm, friendly, polite god who is doing what needs to be done, but he's truly a heartless, cold monster of a god, and that side comes out once Asura defies him.
* [[God]]: He spins the threads of life and govern the life of all of existence.
** [[God Is Evil]]
Line 623 ⟶ 609:
** He also claimed him to be his successor and next ruler of Gaea, willing to be civil and reunite him with his daughter. Asura refuses, if only recalling that every bad thing he caused wasn't going to be forgotten by a peace offering, and proceeds to kick his ass. Asura far exceeded Chakravartin's expectations... not only in potential, but also in considering to be his heir.
* [[Holy Halo]]: Consisting of a massive number of hands.
** This is a [[Shout
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: His creator form.
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: Near the last leg of the final battle, Chakravartin the Creator sports his own Sanskrit lettered [[Action Commands]]. But after getting hit repeatedly by Asura's barrage, he physically staggers and the action commands start to fail. Asura is just casually pummeling him and countering his attempts to fight back at this point, giving a rather epic and angry [[World of Cardboard Speech|speech]] how he's not going to take anymore shit from anyone that calls himself a god and/or [[Papa Wolf|makes his daughter cry]]. So he takes quite a beating before finally dying.
Line 631 ⟶ 617:
* [[Leitmotif]]: "One who spins ideas", "Aurora borealis", and "One who spins samsara".
* [[Light Is Not Good]]
* [[Leaning
* [[Man Behind the Man]]: He tells Asura that he is the one responsible for the Gohma apparition, using them as a way to test the gods' resolve.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Chakravartin means "ideal universal ruler" in Indian religions...[[Subverted Trope|But he does not fit the ethical and benevolent part, or the "ideal" part.]] [[Double Subversion|This is apparently what he wanted to turn Asura into]].
* [[Mirror Boss]]: His final form. Even more so than Vlitra.
* [[Multi
* [[Names to Trust Immediately]]: Subverted.
* [[One
** Alternately, the creator form may be considered a [[Bishonen Line]] as Chakravartin trades an ostentatiously divine image for a slimmer, more subtle form.
* [[Physical God]]
* [[Powers That Be]]: a [[Big Bad]] Example. [[Moment of Awesome|Asura]] [[
* [[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]]
* [[Rubber Man]]: His skin looks very rubbery and stretchy, which is more apparent when he gets punched in the face.
* [[Serial Escalation]]: The ultimate pinnacle of this in the game as far as bosses and enemies go. His giant form is many many times bigger than any other character in the game, to the point while even being out of the solar system he's still visible from the planet earth, he can casually fire really strong, really fast laser beams that goes across the solar system at several times faster than light, Throws entire planets and even '''STARS at you, and even tries to make the sun go super nova JUST TO TRY AND KILL YOU!'''
* [[Sequential Boss]]: First your fight his giant golden metal form in space, then you fight a smaller version in Naraka, then his human form, than his [[One
* [[Smug Snake]]: He just ''oozes'' arrogance and condescendence when things are going his way. When he's defied by Asura however, he gets PISSED.
* [[The Sociopath]]: He appears to be charming and affable when speaking to Asura, but he's truly an unfeeling bastard of a god who can't even be bothered to watch over humanity, and like most sociopaths, he expresses extreme rage when Asura refuses to become his Redeemer.
* [[Sphere of Destruction]]: One of his final forms basic projectiles.
* [[Spotting the Thread|Spotting The Golden Thread]]: In the final boss fight with the Vlitra Core, the core seems to have glowing golden spikes sticking out of it. A few distant shots show that the core is actually [[Foreshadowing|suspended in a giant golden web.]]
* [[Storm of Blades]]: Another one of his Final form's basic Projectiles is this.
* [[Sucking
* [[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 655 ⟶ 645:
* [[True Final Boss]]
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: It begins when you "extend your arm", but becomes especially apparent when he ditches his magic and attempts a [[Pummel Duel]] with Asura after he lands yet another punch on him.
* [[Well
