Since each Burst is often widely different to another, it's likely they are performed by Asura once he has enough power stacked up from damaging his foes, rather than being a specific technique.īoomstick: Not enough for you? Well Asura also has himself an Unlimited Mode, which increases his strength and makes him invulnerable for a short period. Popup: Bursts are events which occur after Asura has filled up an in-game gauge. Wiz: Asura may prefer getting up close and personal for his battles, but he can also fire out energy blasts from a distance, tagging targets with homing shots or a straight stream of them. The Seven Deities, the ones who betrayed him you can bet your ass he'll punch them as well. His own military turned on him he'll punch em. Popup: Asura's fighting style has been compared to the real life martial art of Kalaripayattu.īoomstick: Most importantly of all in his move set is the fact he's really good at punching things. He's incredibly skilled in martial arts, incorporating acrobatics for quick swipes, fast movements and powerful critical strikes.
Wiz: He knows how to make use of these attributes as well. He's super strong, super tough and super fast. With the help of a golden spider and his own overwhelming anger, he was able to literally pull himself from his grave, sights set on taking revenge on his treacherous brethren and save his daughter.īoomstick: And he wouldn't be able to pull it off unless he was one tough cookie. Wiz: But death wouldn't be the end for Asura. It wouldn't be his only one either, since he killed Asura and sent his body hurling down through the atmosphere. Asura wasn't excited the idea of his daughter being used as a living transformer and so would naturally be against Deus' plan to have her turn human souls into power non-stop, so framing Asura was killing two birds with one stone for him.īoomstick: From now on, I'm calling him Dick-Move Deus. His daughter, Mithra, was the high priestess of the Demigods, and thus the one with the power to convert human souls into Mantra. Wiz: Well, there was another reason Asura was chosen as the scapegoat. I get having someone on your team who's always angry can make him seem like a weak link, but it was still an awful thing to do. Wiz: But the Emperor's plan to find a different home for his people was cut short when the leader of the Eight Guardian Generals, Deus, staged a coup and murdered the Emperor, framing Asura for the deed.īoomstick: Dick move Deus, especially framing Asura for the deed. Wiz: The Emperor of the Demigods, who was also a pretty chill guy himself, decided it was time to cut his loses and end the war with the Gohma, deciding that the cost of fighting for Gaea just wasn't worth it.īoomstick: Especially as it involved the consummation of human souls by Demigods so they could use their mantra affinities in the first place, so yeah, good fella him. His bisected remains were worshiped by a villageīoomstick: In spite of the fact this guy was basically a giant ball of rage most of the time, he was ironically a pretty chill guy around his family and people, so he really didn't deserve what happened to him next.Former member of Eight Guardian Generals.And one of their best members was General Asura.
Wiz: Within the Demigod military there was team of eight of their most powerful warriors, collectively known as the Eight Guardian Generals. Wiz: Long, long, long ago, a great battle raged over possession of the world known as Gaea.īoomstick: On one side was the Mantra wielding Demigods, on the other was the Gohma, manifestations of the planet's rage, and humanity was slap bang in the middle. Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle. Wiz: And Rodin, the weapons making Infinite One. Wiz: But these two took in stride, and came out stronger than before because of it.īoomstick: Asura, the demigod with the mantra of Wrath. Rather than rise, they fell to new heights of power.īoomstick: To someone whose whole life is based around their career, finding yourself suddenly demoted due to a misunderstanding at work will probably leave them a little less well off than they were before.
