** Pardon my possible rudeness, but did you even PLAY the game? Mithra wasn't helping them willingly. All that talk about her being a valuable contributor to the cause where just empty words to justify their treatment of her.

** He also didn't know what had become of his daughter at that point or what plans the others had for her, he just knew he had to save her. He seemed to have a stronger bond with his daughter, or at least it seems that way in the game since his entire purpose was focused on rescuing his daughter and alleviating her suffering; not once did he ever say anything about avenging his wife's death as well. It's also Mithra's crying that seems to upset Asura the most, probably because it emphasizes her helplessness; when she was a baby he wanted to punch something/someone, and hearing her cry the first time he's in Naraka spurs him into climbing up the tower even though he doesn't remember her or anything else.

** It seems that only the Generals are cyborgs. Mithra was a demigod as well, [[spoiler: but she didn't die at the end when the Mantra ceased to exist like Asura did because she had no cyborg parts.]]



*** Going off that, it looks like the man in the ending who was about to face the meteor is just the latest iteration in the Asura reincarnation line

** I think you missed the ending scene after the credits in Episode 22. Mithra has obviously just finished telling her father's story to the two kids sitting at her feet. The stories she told got remembered and handed down the way mythology, epic poetry, and fairy tales got handed down in our own world--by a storyteller to an audience--until a writing system was developed that could record them permanently.



** The Emperor seemingly falling dead would have raised a lot of questions, so they needed a fall guy. They wanted Mishra for her power to manipulate Mantra, but knew that Asura would never allow her to be a soldier in the war. So, they decided to hit two birds with one dead Emperor.

Because that was an old build of the game. Things change during development.


* Why the hell doesn't the gameplay match the trailer? There's actual deep combat in that one, including stealing weapons, using environment based attacks, and finishers such as grapples, slamming two enemies together, and ripping an enemy apart from the inside. Yet the ratio of what happens in the trailer to what actually happens in the game is slim, even more so than other game trailers. The actual combat is rather simplistic with one button over and over with some slight variation. If the devs actually tried to make the two materials match, I'm sure a lot less people would criticize the gampeplay. Was it time, because they looked like they had their core gameplay already ironed out by that time.

** Discussed on the FridgeBrilliance page: Yasha's affinity is melancholy, and the act of tearing out his own reactor to help fuel Asura will kill him, so he's become intensely melancholy by that point, which just helps to fuel his power even more. Once he's stopped being melancholy and is at peace thanks to Asura being able to match him, he finally dies.

** It honestly just seems to be that they didn't want to change his design. His design was what they were going to use for Asura at first after all. Maybe they just didn't want to go through the effort to change it and decided "Meh, he's blind. Explains his white eyes."

* This is a twofold question: Augus is specifically mentioned as being ridiculously powerful even though he doesn't rely on Mantra like the other deities, yet when Yasha [[spoiler:tears out his own Mantra reactor in episode 20]] it doesn't seem to affect his ability to use Mantra in any meaningful way. What gives? Speaking of Augus, why bother making him blind? The casual player would never have known he was blind were it not for Asura's line about ripping out his blind eyes. Being blind doesn't seem to impede him at all and just seems entirely unnecessary.

* It's been about 500 years since Asura recovered from his fight with Wyzen. Not as long as 12,000 years, but enough to note that the Seven Deities took a mighty big blow to the ego.

* Why did Asura stay knocked out/dead so long each time? I don't mean why it took him so long to leave Naraka once he got started, but I'm pretty sure each timespan had passed before he started to leave Naraka. As in the first time he finally woke up in Naraka after 12,000 years and then began the journey to leave (doesn't seem to take that long once he got going). The second time was quicker, only 500 years, but that's still a long time for someone to be "unconscious" in hell.

to:

\n** Because "We killed the Emperor as well as one of our Generals and then enslaved his daughter" is going to raise a whole lot of raised eyebrows among the mortals and other demigods. Branding Asura a traitor both lets them blame someone for killing the Emperor and gives the Seven Deities a target to direct hatred and scorn against, as well as help solidify their power base.

** It was more like the emperor was set to fall dead by the time Asura arrived. I don't know the name of this trope, but I've seen it before. Kinda like finding a corpse in a spinning chair it doesn't fall forward until the person is revealed dead. So the emperor was a standing corpse until he was turned around. He was clearly dead even before Asura got there. If you remember, he was sent to see the emperor so him being sent there meant the emperor was known to be dead.
