[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_asuras_wrath_golden_spider_6192.png]]
->''"There is a reason why you must continue to climb, isn't there? You may have forgotten why, but the flame inside you still burns."''
->'''Voiced by:''' Hiroshi Otake (JP), Joe Hanna (EN)

The ruler of Naraka. After Asura is killed, he guides his soul back to the real world.

%% Due to the spoiler free nature of the page keep anything that links the Golden Spider to Chakravartin in his folder instead.
* BigGood: At first glance, being the one who motivates and guides Asura out of Naraka and giving him cryptic advice, he would certainly seem to be this. However, around the point he starts ''praising'' the power and fury of Asura's Berserker and Wrath forms is when one might get the feeling he's hiding an agenda of his own.
* ClockworkCreature: He's quite mechanical, to say the least.
* DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments.
-->'''Golden Spider:''' Twelve thousand years have passed since you were here last, but that's nothing to a demigod like yourself, now is it?
* {{Leitmotif}}: "One who spins ideas."
* RazorFloss: His spider threads aren't just for show, being strong enough to not just stop Olga's sword from killing Mithra, but also strong enough to yank it right out of her hands and then ''kill'' her shortly afterwards.
* SneakySpider: Plays this trope straight due to his manipulative and ambiguous goals while constantly egging on Asura to resurrect himself after each death. [[spoiler: Becomes clear when he's revealed as Chakravartin and his plan was to get Asura to save Mithra so he can use her as a vessel to manifest his true form.]]
* StealthPun: "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Spinning ideas]]" is what he essentially does.
* TricksterMentor: Helps Asura to escape Naraka by angering him with probing questions that restore his memory.
-->'''Asura:''' Who are you?
-->'''Golden Spider:''' [[{{Foreshadowing}} Good question]], but not the right one. The right question would be "Who are ''[[AmnesiacHero you]]''?".
* {{Troll}}: He actually uses this as a means to help Asura. [[spoiler:Later revealed to be a ploy to get Asura pissed off enough to return to Gaea to complete his plans.]]
-->'''Golden Spider:''' You certainly are incompetent. I'll wager that is one of your more charming features.

[[folder:Ahria]]
->"Everyone did nothing but pray. But he took action!"
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RieKugimiya (JP), Unknown (EN)

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 her father died alongside many other humans when the Seven Deities "purified" her village from attacking Gohma, she began to harbor hatred for the gods and is the only one to renounce them.

[[folder:Chakravartin, The Creator -- '''Massive Unmarked spoiler''']]

->''"I am the true God, the embodiment of the wheel of life, the spinner of all mantra"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiroshiIto (JP), Al Rodrigo (EN)

The omnipotent god that controls the world of Gaea and the true identity of the Golden Spider. He is attempting to find an heir to take his place as the next god of Gaea through the trials that he puts the world through. No one on Gaea is aware of his existence.

* {{Leitmotif}}: "Aurora borealis", and "One who spins samsara".

* {{Troll}}: He acts like this in his Golden Spider form. It's actually rather creepy how he [[ShooOutTheClowns switches]] from the smartass overseer of Naraka to being ultra-polite and calm in his true form.

[[folder:Chakravartin, The Creator]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chakravartin_0.png]]

* BadassBaritone: Both voice actors give him a deep, gruff voice to fit with his AntiHero personality.

* PowerGlows: His HolyHalo pulsates with a golden aura, taken even further in his giant golden form, which is so shiny that it eclipses the sun itself despite being several light years away, a creates the sunset backdrop of Asura and Yasha's epic final fight.

** Like his pupil, he is also an Expy of Sun Wukong, having similar incredible strength, but he also has more direct personality similarities then Asura, such as a rowdy, love of fighting attitude, and a similarly long extendable weapon in the form of Wailing Dark (which, like Wukong's staff, can literally extend from the earth to the moon).

* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: After being implanted with the Mantra Reactor by Yasha, his Mantra aura in both his Destructor form and during the first part of the final battle with Chakravartin is a rainbow color, representing his inheritance of all the Mantras of the Seven Deities. He goes back to red for the final part of the battle with Chakravartin's [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver Creator]] form.

* GatheringSteam: This is how his final fight with Chakravartin plays out. It starts off with Chakravartin being able to block his fist with one finger, but with the Mantra Reactor allowing him to achieve his true potential despite losing his oversized arms, Chakravartin gradually requires more and more effort to defend against Asura's attacks, with Asura eventually causing Chakravartin actual pain, but at this point Chakravartin still has a clear superior physical might where Asura needs to use his agility and reflexes to outmaneuver him, until his wrath grows explosively where in every successive Burst, his punches starts breaking Chakravartin's body, gradually weakening him to the point that Asura manages to cause devastating shockwaves through Chakravartin's body by simply using his head to block punches, leaving Chakravartin barely able to stand up. Chakravartin himself expresses increasing frustration and eventually terror at how Asura keeps getting stronger as the fight drags on.

* SuperMode: Asura has several transformations that increase his power. Vajra, his most common form, covers his arms in golden metal and increases his attack power. His six-armed Vajra form adds [[MultiArmedAndDangerous four extra arms]] to the mix, ramping up his punching power even more. His Mantra/Prajna form outfits him with massive arms that can vent jets of Mantra, and while not as strong as [[OneWingedAngel Berserker]] or [[ClippedWingAngel Wrath]], is much more balanced, is the strongest form he can achieve without tearing himself apart pre-implant, and is used with six arms in his final fight against Chakravartin. The Destructor form was only attained after getting the Karma Fortress' mantra reactor inserted into him by Yasha in order for his body to handle the enormous amounts of mantra and transforms him into a gigantic form bigger than Gaea with power equal to a god's.

* UseYourHead: When he has no arms, this is his preferred finisher.

* WeakButSkilled: Surprisingly, this is one of his greatest strengths, if not the greatest. The few times he faces an opponent with superior physical might than him, such as Chakravartin (the most powerful being in the universe) in his final form, at first he gets kicked all the way down to his base form when facing him head on, but later instead of overwhelming him with strength, he uses his agility to outmaneuver and redirect Chakravartin's attacks.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: 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]]).

* GiantEqualsInvincible: [[AvertedTrope Nope]]. Asura ''does'' have more trouble hurting the mountain-sized Vajra Wyzen before achieving his own Vajra form, and the planet-sized Gongen Wyzen also overpowers him before his UnstoppableRage kicks into overdrive, but invincible? Asura kills him by punching his finger so much the destruction spreads all the way back up to Wyzen and blows him up. And the human-sized Augus, Yasha, and Deus prove to be ''far'' more durable to Asura's attacks than Wyzen at any size managed to be. Augus even lampshades that Wyzen lost the moment he thought size equals power.

* ActionCommands: In a major surprise, [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall the computer deigns to show us]] [[EvilCounterpart Chakravartin's own]] which show up at the end of the final fight with him, [[VillainousValor showing his power gradually weakening as the game pits Asura and your action commands against Chakravartin's]]. Eventually, Chakravartin will start messing up his inputs.

* EleventhHourSuperPower: 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.

* FullPotentialUpgrade: Yasha installs the Mantra Reactor of the Karma Fortress - specifically designed to handle huge amounts of Mantra - into Asura so he may use his full power without further harming his body. This unlocks Asura's planet-sized Destructor form and gives his Mantra form six arms.
* GatheringSteam: This is how his final fight with Chakravartin plays out. It starts off with Chakravartin being able to block his fist with one finger, but with every successive Burst, combined with the Mantra Reactor allowing him to achieve his true potential, Chakravartin gradually requires more and more effort to defend against Asura's attacks, with Asura eventually causing Chakravartin actual pain, followed by his punches breaking Chakravartin's body, and later being able to cause devastating shockwaves through Chakravartin's body by simply using his head to block punches. Chakravartin himself expresses increasing frustration and eventually terror at how Asura keeps getting stronger as the fight drags on.

** Interestingly, the final act of the game highlights another aspect of his LightningBruiser-dom, his sheer ''agility''. He may not be as fast as Yasha, but he sure as hell is a lot more agile than him. This, more than anything else, is what allows Asura to outfight [[TrueFinalBoss Chakravartin]], who is borderline ''[[RealityWarper omnipotent]]'', while Asura is at his ''weakest'' (though the enormous amount of Mantra he accumulated stays in his body and mitigates that).

* SuperMode: Asura has several transformations that increase his power. Vajra, his most common form, covers his arms in golden metal and increases his attack power. His six-armed Vajra form adds [[MultiArmedAndDangerous four extra arms]] to the mix, ramping up his punching power even more. His Mantra/Prajna form outfits him with massive arms that can vent jets of Mantra, and while not as strong as [[OneWingedAngel Berserker]] or [[ClippedWingAngel Wrath]], is much more balanced, is the strongest form he can achieve without tearing himself apart pre-implant, and is used with six arms in his final fight against Chakravartin. The Destructor formwas only attained after getting the Karma Fortress' mantra reactor inserted into him by Yasha in order for his body to handle the enormous amounts of mantra and transforms him into a gigantic form bigger than Gaea with power equal to a god's.

* WeakButSkilled: Surprisingly, this is one of his greatest strengths, if not the greatest. When fighting Chakravartin, the most powerful being in the universe, he gets kicked all the way down to his base form. When fighting Chakravartin's final form, instead of overwhelming him with strength, he uses his agility to outmaneuver and redirect Chakravartin's attacks.

* WorldsStrongestMan: Asura is by far the strongest out everyone in the series. He's so powerful that he can defeat the creator of the world through sheer anger.

* LeanAndMean: In contrast with Asura's muscle and bulk, Chakravartin The Creator is quite spindly. This form is still strong enough that it can swing him around like a rag-doll and throw him all over the place. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration The game's rule of making story and gameplay go hand in hand enforce this trope]], as succeeding in the quick-time events in this part of the fight has Asura use agility and reflexes to counter Chakravartin's physical might.

** Once he assumes his Creator-form in the Event Horizon, the above situation repeats: Asura, now in his Destructor-form, powers up and does a spinning punch with one of his oversized arms. Chakravartin, once again, stops him with just a finger. After a bit of back-and-forthing, Asura scores a punch to Chakravartin's gut that the Creator, once again, just takes with no reaction or attempt at defending himself against at all... [[SubvertedTrope at this point, however, Asura's wrath grows so explosively that he sells the punch anyway.]]

* DemiurgeArchetype: While establishes himself as the TopGod and creator of Gaia, all that dwell on it and the mantra that allowed the Demigods to ascend to {{Physical God}}hood, he is presented as an ObviouslyEvil being for doing all of it. He created Gohma Vlitra, an EldritchAbomination that had taken countless lives directly and indirectly through the Seven Deities, as one giant test to find a successor. He had supposedly done this in the past and [[OmnicidalManiac had destroyed countless other thriving worlds when the results did not please him]], [[MightMakesRight having a strong belief that it is his right to do so because he is so powerful]]. The fact that his godly role can be passed down implies that he might not have been the first TopGod in the universe, making his title "Creator" less legitimate. His design also has the vibe of a false god; while his Golden Spider form has design elements taken from the Ghatama Buddha, his role as the Embodiment of Samsara gives him more in common with [[GodOfEvil Mara]], the closest Buddhism has to a SatanicArchetype.

* BashBrothers: He was this with Asura back in the day, according to him at least.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Due to his hedonistic lifestyle and mindset, he can't understand why Asura would settle for being a family man when he could enjoy the simpler pleasures of life such as fighting, eating, drinking, and sleeping with beautiful women. Upon dying and seeing Ahria, he seems to reach some level of understanding.

* NoSell: After revealing himself as the one behind the game's events, an enraged Asura throws himself at Chakravartin and punches him with everything he's got. Chakaravartin stops him ''with his finger''. The following boss fight has him simply stand in place and tank everything Asura and Yasha throw at him, up to stopping [[SuperMode Mantra Asura]] in his tracks with no more than a few of his arms, just to show off how impossibly powerful he is compared to them.

* RasputinianDeath: He took no less than '''10''' bursts[[note]]Or 12, if you count the two used on his giant form in the first stages of his final boss battle, the first to penetrate through said form's event horizon, and the second to do so again to return from the Naraka realm (where you were unwillingly transported to by Chakravartin) back to the Nirvana realm.[[/note]] before finally dying.

* RubberMan: While in his "human" form.
