Asura (アスラ, Asura) is the main protagonist as well and the titular character and a hero of the 3D action beat 'em up game Asura's Wrath.
He was a deity who was betrayed by his former comrades, killed and framed for murder. The game, developed by Capcom and CyberConnect2, involves Asura coming back to seek vengeance against an impressive lineup of villains with incredible power, all deities. His incredible wrath burns on and never extinguishes, at least not until the end of the game.
He is voiced by Liam O'Brien in the English version and Hiroki Yasumoto in the Japanese version.
Appearance[]
Asura, the demigod of wrath, is humanoid in appearance, with red markings all over his body that glow orange when powered up, that trace out from his eyes. He has spiky white hair, white, pupilless eyes that make him look feral that can sometimes glow red, and tan skin. He is also rather muscular in his appearance. Asura's clothing has some Japanese influence, as the trousers he's wearing with a red flame pattern are uncommon. On those trousers, he wears a golden sash. On his legs, he wears unusual golden greaves that also act as sandals, and golden armor vambraces. His age of appearance is labeled to be 28.
Asura's wrath grows large enough to allow him to transform at times, stretching his power and changing his appearance. Across his transformations, he may also appear with six arms, with golden pauldrons on his shoulders, an entire set of arm armor, or appear as a feral beast either entirely glowing orange or all black. Upon reaching his Mantra Asura form at the end of the game, a halo can be seen floating behind his back. His six arms eventually appear with full sets of arm armor on them as well. As Asura the Destructor, he becomes akin to an actual god, with planetary size and all black.
Vajra Asura[]
Asura's mastery of this form is so tremendous, that he is almost always seen in this form, where Asura's arms are coated in a golden metallic armor. Through the Mantra activation within the demigods' bodies, they are able to metalize parts of their bodies to make them more suitable for battle. The process and degree of metallization differs among demigods; Asura's metalization forms mainly around his arms. This form is the base form upon which almost all transformations improve: mainly Six-Armed Vajra Asura, Mantra Asura, and Six-Armed Mantra Asura.
Personality[]
Asura is inherently a warrior. He remains determined to the point of stubbornnesss and is very quick to anger. He prefers to charge into situations head-first, using force as others would breathe. Asura dislikes accepting the help of others and prefers to remain self-reliant. Asura is still conscientious at heart; however, his warrior's mentality often keeps this part of himself concealed. Despite all this, he deeply loves his wife and daughter, Durga and Mithra respectively. Asura also holds the highest moral of all the seven deities, refusing to sacrifice innocents in order to get more mantra, he is also extremely protective of humans (especially the girl who reminds him of his daughter) and is horrified and angered to discover how many lives his ex-partners had taken in order to get more mantra to fight the Gohmas, Asura's main traits (and flaw) is his rage, which can be contributed to him sensing people crying (as it's established, he hates seeing people, especially Mithra, crying), and was willing to do anything to save Mithra and stops her from crying.
Throughout the game, he showcased a godly portrayal of wrath, as if he was wrath incarnate. As the god of wrath, this is ideal, and many reviewers of the game noted how much wrath Asura has. Thus, this is his most notable quality. Upon the end of the game, Asura's wrath is finally gone, and he becomes reincarnated, living a happy life with his family. As the reincarnation of Asura, he is shown to be very courageous in this ending
