For a game that could be called I'm F*&%in' Angry: The Game, Asura's Wrath sure likes to take your heart and twist it into knots. Use spoiler tags if necessary.

* [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20121020073857/http://andriasang.com/e/galleries/2011/09/02/asuras_wrath_screenshots/2132459892/ This screenshot] of {{spoiler|Asura holding his dead wife bridal style in his arms}} is just heart wrenching to look at. But it also helps fuel his rage as well.
** {{spoiler|What makes it worse is that he's screaming her name, with a look of absolute ''sorrow'', we've seen Asura mad beyond believe, but we've never seen him sad up until now. Makes the rage he feels all the more justified.}}
* In the fight against Augus, near the end of the battle on the moon, when Augus is [[Up to Eleven|flinging Asura from the moon to the earth with his extendo-sword]], Augus is trying a [[Not So Different]] on Asura, when it doesn't stick, and Asura [[Oh Crap|gets impaled on the sword]], Augus asks why he and Asura or different, and right after that we get a short flash of Asura's daughter, {{spoiler|Mithra, looking at the screen. In that brief second you see a young woman, looking downright ''helpless''.}} Just goes to show that 12,000 years of betrayal by the Seven Deities is not fun.
Line 12:
** The real hammerblow is just the way that Asura is screaming while {{spoiler|in Berserker Form}}. He's not simply angry or enraged, he's consuming by this horrible mixture of grieving agony and pure, undiluted ''hatred''. Beforehand, you've seen him hurting, and you've seen him angry, but not both at the same time to such a horrible degree that he can't even think straight.
* Episode 15's recap with {{spoiler|Yasha feeling doubts for his cause after seeing a human father crying over his dead son's corpse.}}
* Episode 21 settles the rivalry between Yasha and Asura in a heartbreaking way. {{spoiler|Quite suddenly, Yasha (with his mask again) starts fighting Asura, who is both mad and confused as to why he's doing so. The fighting escalates and Yasha is on the losing end. The climax comes as the two run to each other ready throw punches at one another as the scene plays in [[Deliberately Monochrome]], [[Silence Is Golden]], and [[Bullet Time]], even [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|the reaction command for the punch]]. Yasha lets out a small smirk, Asura sees it, his eyes widen, and he stops himself at the last moment, command and all, before he connects the blow. Yasha's face mask breaks, his bandages reveal he has a gaping hole in his chest, and all he has is a [[Go Out Withwith a Smile|serene expression]] [[Died Standing Up|with his body frozen in an extended punch]]. His last words were "Go... Save Mithra... and the world."}}
* The final ending of the game. Just... the final ending...
** Post final Blow against {{spoiler|Chakrvartin}}, with [[Award Bait Song|In Your Belief]] playing:
{{quote| '''Mithra''': Why do you have to act so recklessly!<br />
'''Asura''': I...I couldn't bear to see you suffer!<br />
'''Mithra''': (In tears) Stupid.<br />
'''Asura''': No more crying.<br />
'''Asura''': My wrath.....is finally...[[Tear Jerker|gone]]. }}
* In Episode 8, Asura finishes most of Kalrow's minions and is smacking one of the last ones repeatedly in the face, with his Burst gauge filling up with every hit. Then, he hears sobbing behind him, and he turns to see the nameless girl repeatedly beating one of the other soldiers' corpses with a rock over and over again in angry frustration after seeing what they did to her village. Just looking at her makes Asura's entire Burst meter empty as something finally does show up to quell his rage. He stops the girl and tells her that he understands how she feels.
