Line 43:
* [[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 Fifty 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 From the Dead]]: Happens to him when he's betrayed and killed by the other demigods. Also happens 2 more times after. He comes back '''by sheer anger alone'''!
* [[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:
** 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 The Fist|mid-monologue.]]
* [[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.]]
Line 60:
** 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
* [[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 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.
* [[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 93:
* [[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 [[No Sell]] anything up to and including boss attacks.
* [[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]]'''
Line 102:
* [[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 Holds Barred Beatdown]]: One of his possible counter attacks against Deus.
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: He screams CONSTANTLY.
* [[One
* [[One
** Normal
** Vajra, his most common form.
** Six-armed Vajra, same as Vajra [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|only with six arms.]]
** 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.
Line 123:
* [[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.
Line 178:
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
* [[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 233:
* [[Oh Crap]]: His expression when Asura shoots down his flagship.
** Also his expression when Asura fights back against his [[Finger Poke of Doom]].
* [[One
* [[Power Fist]]: More prominent in his normal form, where it is barely about the size of him!
* [[Sequential Boss]]
Line 347:
His mantra affinity is Sloth.
----
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: His crimes are killing civilians, trying to kill Asura after wards, and His Reincarnation does literal Jaywalking, and is ratted out by [[The Cameo|Chun]][[Street Fighter|-Li]] for doing so.
* [[Beard of Evil]]
* [[Beam Spam]]: Has his entire fleet focus its Exorcism beams on Asura. Twice. It doesn't take.
Line 354:
* [[Cutscene Boss]]: For all purposes, the guy doesn't even put up a fight.
* [[Evil Old Folks]]
* [[Family
* [[Holy Halo]]
* [[Mad Scientist]]
Line 363:
* [[Power Floats]]
* [[The Strategist]]
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: He attempts to escape from Asura via an escape pod. It doesn't go well for him though.
* [[Villain Teleportation]]
----
Line 395:
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: For Lord Deus.
* [[The Unfought]]: Killed by the Golden Spider in the true ending.
* [[White
----
Line 413:
----
* [[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
* [[Badass]]: He manages to beat up [[The Juggernaut|ASURA]] for god's sake!
* [[Badass Boast]]:
Line 425:
* [[Face Heel Turn]]
* [[Flash Step]]
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Performs this on Wrath Asura.
* [[Go Out With a Smile]]
* [[Handshake Substitute]]: Receives a fist bump from Asura. Or rather, his corpse does, right before he dissipates.
Line 442:
* [[Razor Wind]]: With his freaking hands.
* [[Really Dead Montage]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Blue Oni to Asura's Red. Visually expressed through their auras.
* [[Samurai Cowboy]]: Has a bit of this going for him. Just listen to this theme music, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O432kY86s5A&feature=channel Wind], and it's made even more obvious. [[The Angry Joe Show (Web Video)|Angry Joe]] even lampshdes it.
* [[The Rival]]
* [[The Stoic]]: Took on this personality when acting under Deus' orders.
* [[Tragic Villain]]: Prior to his [[Heel Face Turn]].
* [[Well
----
Line 468:
** 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.]]
* [[Awesome Ego]]: A defining characteristic [[In Universe]]. While he could be described as arrogant or a braggart, most people who know him consider him to be endearingly and sincerely frank about his capabilities, because ''he can back any of those claims up.''
* [[Anti
* [[Attack of the Fifty Foot Whatever]]: After fusing with the Karma Fortress to become Sakra Devanam Indra Deus.
* [[Badass]]: [[World of Badass|Did you expect anything else]]?
Line 478:
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Killed the Emperor to gain control of the world.
* [[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
* [[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 [[No Sell]] Asura's and Yasha's combined might through sheer force of will. He even refuses to die once he'd gotten 12,000+ years of power beaten out of him!
* [[Fighting With Chucks]]: [[I Call It Vera|The Sakras]], his weapon of choice.
Line 500:
{{quote| '''Deus''': Over here.}}
* [[Tragic Villain]]: Shows definite signs of this, however he is better at hiding it than Yasha.
* [[Well
----
Line 519:
----
* [[Badass Baritone]]: Rasho.
* [[BFG]] Taison's tend to have these, and Taison Nyudo has a Big Friggen [[Frickin' Laser Beams|Laser Gun!]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Dojis and Taisons tend to be the butt of jokes, especially in episode 10
* [[Elite Mook]]: Rasho and Taison.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Taison Nyudo, as stated above.
* [[Giant Mook]]: Taison.
* [[Mission Control]]: Kagebosh tend to monitor the weapons on many of the ships.
Line 534:
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.
* [[No Name Given]]
Line 540:
* [[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]]
----
Line 560:
----
* [[The Corruption]]/[[The Heartless]]
* [[
* [[
* [[Expy]]: Of the [[Gun Buster|Space]] [[Diebuster|Monsters]].
* [[Flying Aircraft Carrier]]: While not sharing the look, Gohma Carriers have this as a primary funtion of deploying other, smaller gohma into space.
Line 588:
* [[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 A Can]]: Hides inside the planet earth and is usually resting in order to prepare to come back out on the surface.
Line 616:
* [[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.
* [[God]]: He spins the threads of life and govern the life of all of existence.
Line 635:
* [[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]] [[
* [[Rasputinian Death]]: This guy took no less than '''10''' bursts before finally dying.
* [[Reality Warper]]
* [[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
* [[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 in Lines]]: His giant form's laser attacks do this before firing.
* [[Time Stands Still]]: One of his attacks does this accompanied with [[Colour
* [[Treacherous Advisor]]
* [[Trickster Mentor]]: Helps Asura to escape Naraka by angering him with probing questions that restore his memory.
Line 655:
* [[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
