I understand it all now! The true reason for my wrath! I could not stand it! There is always some fool who wants to rule the world! Always forcing others to do what they cannot do for themselves! That's why I pray to no one! Nor will I be prayed to! But above all else, I will never forgive you for making my daughter cry! This is your end!!

Powers and Abilities:

Same as before, Weapon Control (Used his Mantra to repair Augus's sword), Weapon Mastery (Instinctively learned how to masterfully wield a sword with his teeth and legs, butchering hundreds of Gohmas with it), further Acrobatics (Killed many Gohma Gliders by slashing them in mid-air and riding his sword like a surfoboard), Heat Manipulation and Danmaku (His sheer anger condensced into enormous arm-shaped, masses of burning Mantra that scorched the land and incinerated every Gohma that stood before him. Asura also caused thousands of such projectiles to rain from the sky[27])

Caught[8] Gongen Wyzen's finger poke and then annihilated him completely) | Large Planet level+ (Comparable to his past self.

Fought and defeated Vlitra Core[3]) | Multi-Galaxy level (The Mantra Reactor of the Karma Fortress allowed Asura to channel the power of his Wrath in unprecedented ways. Defeated Yasha at his peak even before realizing his newfound power.[14] As Asura the Destructor, he annihilated multiple planets and stars with casual attacks, perforated Chakravartin's colossal moon and destroyed a red and a blue sun. Overpowered Golden Chakravartin, forcing him to fight in his real form. Exponentially grew stronger and stronger, defeating base Chakravartin first and Chakravartin's Creator form then[16])

Speed: Relativistic+ combat and reactions (Dodged dozens of laser beams from Vlitra that can go this fast) | Relativistic+ combat and reaction speed (Kept up with Wyzen) | Sub-Relativistic with Relativistic+ combat and reaction speed (Kept up with the likes of his former master Augus) | Sub-Relativistic with Relativistic+ reactions and combat speed (At least as fast as his Wrath form, which can keep pace pace with Vajra Yasha) | Sub-Relativistic with at least Relativistic+ combat and reaction speed (Kept pace with Deus), Sub-Relativistic with FTL combat and reaction speed as Mantra Asura (Can dodge attacks from Vlitra Core) | Massively FTL+ (Superior to Yasha at his peak even before achieving his full potential.

Can keep up and trade blows with all of Chakravartin's forms)

His Mantra form could match Vlitra Core) | Multi-Galaxy level (Superior to Yasha. Shielded Gaea from Golden Chakravartin's energy beam. Survived many celestial bodies being hurled at him by Chakravartin. Grew durable enough to withstand all of Chakravartin's attacks)

Stamina:

Superhuman (Mostly composed of mechanical parts and way beyond the treshold of normal human capabilities. Kept fighting the Shinkoku royal guards and Wyzen despite having multiple spears stabbing his body.[6] Relentlessly climbed his way out Naraka for a time equivalent of 12.000 years in the real world[17])

Superhuman (Superior to his previous self. Went through a long battle with Wyzen and his battleship Septentrion, fighting him in all his three forms. During his final clash with Gongen Wyzen, Asura unleashes a savage flurry of punches that destroyed all his six arms in the process.[8] Moments after that, Asura still had enough energy to engage Yasha in combat for a decent while.[31] Went through entire squadrons of Gohmas, Shinkoku troops and battleships without taking any rest in-between[5])

Superhuman (Better than before. Fought an extenuating duel with Augus and won despite having been impaled by his sword and driven all the way down to Earth from the Moon, which furtherly caused him to lose all his arms. Right after that, he rose once again and went to battle[26] against a swarm of hundreds of Gohmas, slaying many of them before being overwhelmed by their raw numbers. After having been brutally massacred by the stampede, Asura awakened his Semi-Berserker form and annihilated them all with renewed energy and fury[27])

(Much higher than before. Despite having been charred alive by the Brahmasta, Asura could still regain consciousness moments later and launch himself in pursue of foes, tearing apart countless enemies along the way and then battling Yashra)

(At least comparable to his Episode 11 self. Right after regaining his original body, Asura went to a prolonged series of battles non-stop, including an initial bout with Deus, a long battle in space against the remaining forces of Shinkoku, the final confrontation with Deus, and then the subsequent battle with Gohma Vlitra, first in space, then at the center of Gaea. After very little time, Asura once again entered a battle with Chakravartin)

(Higher than even before. The Mantra Reactor of the Karma Fortress installed within his body can sustain the power extracted from billions of souls, effectively removing all of Asura's previous limitations. Fought all of Chakravartin's three forms in immediate succession starting with a battle across the cosmo to the subsequent bouts in different dimensions. Traded fists with Base Chakravartin to the point of shattering all of his Six-Armed Mantra form's limbs, leaving him with only his two, base arms. Being stabbed multiple times by Chakravartin's attacks would cause him only mild damage[16])

Range: Standard Melee Range physically, Hundreds of Kilometers with Energy Blasts (Can cover large portions of space[2] and reach flying ships[8]) | Same as before | Same as before | Standard Melee Range to Several Meters melee range physically, Thousands of Kilometers with Energy Projection, lower as Wrath Asura (His aura and energy attacks spanned across a large portion of Gaea and could strike the entirety of Olga's fleet, which was cruising above the planet's atmosphere) | Up to the same as before (His Mantra and powered-up Wrath forms greatly surpass his previous peak reached as Berserker Asura) | Planetary physically in his Destructor Form (Larger than Gaea), same as before physically with Hundreds of thousands of lightyears with Energy Blasts (His attacks can reach Golden Chakravartin from Gaea to the center of the Milky Way. His next forms possess even greater potential than his Destructor state)

Standard Equipment: None notable

Optional Equipment: Augus's sword Wailing Dark (only for his Episode 11-12 key)

Intelligence: Combat Genius (As one of the Eight Generals, Asura represents the elite of the elite within the Shinkoku Trastrium forces. He was trained by Augus and fought in the War of Creation for thousands of years, battling the Gohmas both on the planet surface and in space. Asura can be extremely creative and cunning in combat, making full use of what could appear as a savage form of brawling at first, just to reveal itself as a polyhedric fighting style able to adapt against opponents of all form and size. Asura has no issues dealing with multiple adversaries coming at him at the same time or fighting while pursuing[29] them at a fast pace. He can accurately predict the moves of his foes and figure out effective counters on the fly, often doing things such as catching weapons with his bare hands and reflect attacks back to their owner. Asura can adapt at fighting with two, six or even no arms at all thanks to his tenacity and ingenuity, which allowed him to achieve accomplishments such as fighting off[31] Yasha for awhile after losing all his arms and landing a well-timed killing blow[26] on Augus in a most unlikely way. He later took his sword and, armed only with his mouth and legs, used it to cut down[26] a great portion of an army of Gohmas despite not having any experience of swordfighting. Over the course of his story, Asura mowed through hordes of Gohmas, legions of Shinkoku Trastrium soldiers and entire fleets of battleships.[5] He and Yasha have repeteadly showed perfect coordination, battling together with great dexterity whether they were on solid ground or in space. The list of powerful adversaries he defeated, at various stages in time, include Wyzen, Augus, Deus, Gohma Vlitra and Chakravartin. Has had a life-long rivalry with Yasha, since the time they trained together as rookies, to the several occasions when fate put each against the other, eventually emerging victorious in their final bout)

Weaknesses: Using heavy attacks causes him to overheat, forcing him into a cooldown period that lasts a few seconds. Before having Yasha's Mantra Reactor added to his own, Asura's mantra was too fierce for his body to contain, potentially killing him with his own power and making him consume potentially his entire life-force in exchange for pure power.[27] As Wrath Asura, his body becomes unstable and cannot contain the sheer volumes of Mantra his anger generates, causing his body to become scorching hot and fall apart until complete self-destruction; attacking in this state causes more harm to Asura[41] than his enemies. All of the aforementioned limitations ceased from the moment Asura was bestowed the Mantra Reactor of the Karma Fortress. While Asura can resurrect himself, this takes time ranging from several hours to even thousands of years. His very existence is connected to that of the Mantra itself, reason why killing Chakravartin caused him to die as well.[16]

Note: All of Asura's keys are indexed from the perspective of the last power-up and level of strength demonstrated right before the next key.

Mantra is the energy permeating the whole universe. It is generated[42] by the power of prayers and emotions, as well as existing in large quantities within the souls of every living being. Mantra exists in eight pure forms,[43]: Pride, Lust, Greed, Sloth, Vanity, Violence, Melancholy and Wrath. In its natural state, Mantra exists as vibrations[44] similar to those emitted by sound waves and flows within living beings and can be utilized in a manner akin to electricity.[42]

The civilization of Shinkoku Trastrium learned to harness and store it long time in the past, thus achieving advanced technology and giving birth to the demigods, the only beings able to utilize Mantra. It flows within them and fuels their power, which increases proportionally to the amount of Mantra they possess and are able to channel. With sufficient amounts, the strength of a demigod can even circumvent trivial matters such as size.[45]

AsuraMantra

The demigods are the descendants of genetically enhanced humans,[46] having gained control over Mantra and established themselves as the ruling class on Gaea. The Demigods' bodies have mostly relinquished flesh in favor of mechanical parts, greatly increasing their strength, resilience and physical performances. Even their blood has been replaced by an oil-like type of liquid.

Demigods can live for tens of thousands of years without showing any sign of age, but eventually their bodies will start to decay too, as shown by the existence of older demigods and their overall need to reproduce and ensure the continuation of their lineage.

The most importat element within a demigod is its Mantra reactor, an engine whose conductors resonate with Mantra and transform it into fuel. In this way, the demigods achieve incredible supernatural abilities, and are able to increase their power exponentially the more Mantra they possess.[44] Additionally, all demigods possess a basic ability to activate the Mantra within their bodies and cover them with additional layers of golden armor. The process and degrees differs among each of them.[9]

After his initial confrontation with Chakravartin, Asura was bestowed the Mantra Reactor of the Karma Fortress,[47] an engine so powerful that was able to store the Mantra harnessed from trillions of souls. With such powerful device inside him, Asura was finally able to channel the full extent of his potential without any of the limits his body was previously subjected to.

Thanks to the power of Mantra, Asura grows four additional arms covered in metal, greatly increasing his strength and overall performances. At first he could only achieve such form through Mythra's power,[2] but later managed to transform on his own[8] because of the sheer hatred he felt for Wyzen and the rest of the Seven Deities. From that moment on, Asura became able to enter such form[5] at will.

A foreshadowing of what Asura will turn into later in the story. Refusing to succumb to the Gohmas, Asura's rage manifests for the first time as colossal constructs of fiery Mantra. With this newly acquired power, Asura wipes out all the Gohmas before him, rendering the battlefield into a desolate wasteland. Too powerful to be contained, such overflowing energy finally erupts out of his body and explodes into a massive blast, leaving only Asura's withered body behind.

Witnessing the unjust death of little Ahria by the cruel hands of Olga triggered an unprecedented explosion of fury within Asura, transforming him into a beast of unprecedented power. With four gigantic phantom arms made of pure Mantra, Asura lost any control of himself and abandoned himself to a mad frenzy, annihilating all the forces of Shinkoku that caused such meaningless destruction.

With his soul banished to Naraka as a side-effect, Asura's body is reduced to an empty shell driven by pure wrath and instinct. However, the remainder of Asura's vow still persists within him, making the beast attack only the Gohmas and Shinkoku demigods, while ignoring humans and other civilians.[33]

After his clash with the Brahmastra, Asura lost much of his power and the ability to endlessly project mantra energy, whose use is now limited to short bursts. In this weakened state he relies more on his physical might and behaves like a feral animal. Although this puts him disadvantage against a skilled opponent such as Yashra, Wrath Asura proved himself capable of progressively adapt until he could finally match him.

When pushed to the limit, Wrath Asura would go as far as exerting all his remaining power to the point of putting his own life at rysk.[25] Even after coming back to normal, Asura could still transform into his Wrath self whenever pushed to the limit and in desperate need for more power, retaining his sanity but also the self-destructive effect this forms has on his body.[39]

Mithra's power amplifies[3] Asura's Mantra and converges his six arms into two, super-charged arms.[48]

In this form all his abilities are naturally enhanced and his strength increases to the outmost, enabling him to defeat the likes of Gohma Vlitra and match a casual Chakravartin. Initially Asura needed Mithra's support in order to transform, but after defeating Vlitra he gained the ability to enter such state at will.[39]

After receiving the Mantra Reactor of the Karma Fortress, Asura became able to express the full potential of this transformation, boasting three pairs of super-charged arms whose strength surpasses even that of the Destructor form.

MantraAsuraIllustration

A transformation enabled by the Mantra Reactor of the Karma Fortress. By channeling his Mantra like never before, Asura grows to a gargantuan size in order to protect Gaea by Golden Chakravartin.

Larger than a planet and with a jet booster on his back, Asura can soar across space at incredible speed and fire massive energy blasts that destroy entire celestial bodies. He used this form to reach a faraway part of the universe, where Chakravartin awaited him.
