History ShoutOut / AsurasWrath

* Yasha [[spoiler: Implanting the Karma Fortress Mantra Reactor into Asura]] is similar to the Arc Reactor surgery done in [[Film/IronMan Iron Man]].

* The Very beginning of the Game is very much a Homage to the space fights against the Space monsters in [[Anime/{{Gunbuster}}]]

* Asura using Augus's blade while it's clenched in his teeth is a reference to Zoro from Manga/OnePiece, but doing it armless is also a reference to Raiden in VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4, who did the same thing. His rampage against the Gohma with just the blade in episode 11.5 is similar to Zabuza tearing through bandits to kill gato in Manga/{{Naruto}}

* In the Lost Episode 1, Asura tends to do a lot of parrying ala VideoGame/StreetFighterIII depending on how quick your reaction time is. He also uses a [[Manga/{{Kinnikuman}} Kinniku Buster]] to [[spoiler: Evil Ryu]]'s [[GroinAttack groin]].

* Asura and Yasha have a rivalry similar to either Naruto and Sasuke or [[Anime/SCryEd Kazuma and Ryuhou]] (Asura even does the spinning bullet punch attack motion first form Kazuma does, Especially in Mantra form), and their styles of fighting (RapidFireFisticuffs for Asura and CleanCut based slash attacks for Yasha) resemble [[Manga/HokutoNoKen Hokuto Shinken and Nanto Seiken]], respectively.

** The end of the first set of episodes is a scene where Asura is falling down in darkness as blue lights fly upwards. This is a scene very similar to the GameOver screen of ''SilentBomber'', the second CyberConnect2 video game.

* During the final fight with Deus, Asura uses what looks like [[FRanchise/{{Naruto}} Killer Bee and A's]] Lariat move to knock him away.

** Chakravartin's [[spoiler: Creator form]] stops Mantra Asura's Punch with one finger like how Aizen stops Ichigo's bankai slash with one finger in {{Bleach}}.
** His [[spoiler: Creator form utilizes a massive energy ball ala DragonBallZ as an attack, a Slash wave similar to [[KingOfFighters The]] [[FatalFury Reppu]][[ArtOfFighting ken]], and has a [[RainOfSwords Gate of Babylon[=/=]Unlimited Blade Works]] styled sword spam ala ''FateStayNight'' and has a time stop move where the swords stab at you in midair at you during said time stop ala [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]] or [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Sakuya Izayoi]]]].

** The final fist fight is very similar to the [[spoiler: The Fist fight Simon and the Anti-spiral have in ''GurrenLagann'': ''Lagann-hen''.]]
** The WhiteVoidRoom being made as a result of [[spoiler: Chakratarvin The Creator]] could be a reference to the WhiteVoidRoom from DotHackGU called the ''Creator Room''.

* Asura [[spoiler: sacrificing his own life to save the planet from it's suffering caused by Chakravartin by disappearing into light is very similar to Madoka's own sacrifice from MadokaMagica.]] [[spoiler: The reason for his death is also similar to how Nia dies in ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann''.]]
* Asura and Yasha have a rivalry similar to either Naruto and Sasuke or [[SCryEd Kazuma and Ryuhou]] (Asura even does the bullet punch attack motion Kazuma does), and their styles of fighting (RapidFireFisticuffs for Asura and CleanCut based slash attacks for Yasha) resemble [[HokutoNoKen Hokuto Shinken and Nanto Seiken]], respectively.

* In the Lost Episode 1, Asura tends to do a lot of parrying ala StreetFighterIII depending on how quick your reaction time is. He also uses a [[{{Kinnikuman}} Kinniku Buster]] to [[spoiler: Evil Ryu]]'s [[GroinAttack groin]].
** In the Finale of Lost Episode 2, [[spoiler: Oni and Mantra Asura get into a PummelDuel not unlike the PummelDuel's seen in GodHand.]] The entire finale of the fight is similar to a fight right out of DragonBallZ.

* Asura using Augus's blade while it's clenched in his teeth is a reference to Zoro from OnePiece, but doing it armless is also a reference to Raiden in MetalGearSolid4, who did the same thing. His rampage against the Gohma with just the blade in episode 11.5 is similar to Zabuza tearing through bandits to kill gato in {{Naruto}}

* Asura's heavy attack is the [[VideoGame/FinalFight Spinning]] [[StreetFighter Lariat]].

** When the game directors get to the part where you have a PummelDuel between Asura and Augus, they yell out [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure ORAORAORAORA]]! The PummelDuel itself looks a lot like the ones made from PlatinumGames, taken UpToEleven. It even has CrossCounter's like in ''VideoGame/MadWorld''.

*** The way Gohma Vlitra first appears by popping out of the planet earth similar to how one of the space monsters from ''Diebuster'' episode 4 emerges out of Jupiter. Gohma Vlitra itself has been noted as looking similar to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Sin]] and [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Lavos]].

*** The mindlessness of the form as well as well as not really being all that effective against the main rival might bring to mind of Haseo's B-ST form from the ''DotHackGUGames'' movie.
** [[spoiler: Vlitra's core]] looks suspiciously like six tails {{Naruto}}, an observant eye may notice that his attacks are ''actually the same model and animation'' as that of six tails from ''NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStorm2''.

** [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Sagat]] and a cat from ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' appear in the same interlude Ammy is shown the most Notably in, Episode 10's interlude.

* The Kagebosh mooks have a move where they stretch their arms similar to [[StreetFighter Dhalsim]]

* In the DLC trailer we see [[spoiler: the head of the Brahmastra falling to earth incredibly similar to a scene from ''EndOfEvangelion''.]]

* Asura [[spoiler: crushing Kalrow in his escape pod]] is similar to how Broly from DragonBall killed his Father, Paragus.

* During the final fight with Deus, Asura uses what looks like [[{{Naruto}} Killer Bee and A's]] Lariat move to knock him away.

** Ryu cameos in the same interlude as a promotion for the Asura vs. StreetFighter DLC, which is likely why several StreetFighter Characters cameo in Some of the DLC interludes.

* The entirety of [[spoiler:episode 22 can be seen a massive ShoutOut to the final battle in GurrenLagann. More specificly Lagann Hen.]]
** [[spoiler: The way the first half of the battle plays out]] is VERY similar to the first phase of the Cubia boss in DotHackGU, and Asura's [[spoiler: Destructor form]] even has wing fins that look similar to Haseo's. There's also a lot of similarities to series like {{Gunbuster}}[=/=]{{Diebuster}}, as well as HeroicAge seen throughout the battle.

** [[spoiler: The Event Horizon stage by itself before the fight with Chakravartin the Creator.]] is very similar to the final boss fight stage of TheLegendOfZeldaSKywardSword against Demise, only with a bright sunlight instead of stormy skies.

* Yasha Rider Kicks the Karma Fortress. It helps he wears a mask just like a ''KamenRider'' would.

** [[spoiler: Chakravartin's Creator form's body shape and structure is very similar to Seth from ''ViudeoGame/StreetFighterIV''. He also is very similar to a color inverted version of [[GurrenLagann The Anti Spiral]].]]
* Asura [[spoiler: sacrificing his own life to save the planet from it's suffering caused by Chakravartin by disappearing into light is very similar to Madoka's own sacrifice from MadokaMagica.]] [[spoiler: The reason for his death is also similar to how Nia dies in ''GurrenLagann''.]]

* Asura [[spoiler: sacrificing his own life to save the planet from it's suffering caused by Chakravartin by disappearing into light is very similar to Madoka's own sacrifice from MadokaMagica.]]

** His [[spoiler: Creator form utilizes a massive energy ball ala DragonBallZ as an attack, a Slash wave similar to [[KingOfFighters The]] [[FatalFury Reppu]][[ArtOfFighting ken]], and has a [[RainOfSwords Gate of Babylon[=/=]Unlimited Blade Works]] styled sword spam ala ''FateStayNight'' and has a time stop move where the swords stab at you in midair at you during said time stop ala [[JojosBizareAdventure Dio Brando]] or [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Sakuya Izayoi]]]].

There are several, several, SEVERAL of these in this game. Just to give out a mere few examples of them:

** Asura in lost episode 2 uses a special move that looks like [[StreetFighter Guile's Flash Kick]]. to make the fact that they have the [[HirokiYasumoto the same voice]] all the more apparent.

* The Kagebosh mooks have a move where they stretch their arms similar to [[StreetFighter Dalshim]]

** [[spoiler: Vlitra's core]] looks suspiciously like six tails {{Naruto}}, an observant eye may notice that his attack are ''actually the same model and animation'' as that of six tails from ''NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStorm2''.

* One person noticed that Durga looks a lot like Mind Controlled Chun-li when she has her hair down from the StreetFighterIIV Anime.

** In the Finale of Lost Episode 2, [[spoiler: Oni and Mantra Asura get into a PummelDuel not unlike the PummelDuel's seen in GodHand.]] The entire finale of the fight is similar to a fight right out of DragonBallZ.

* One person noticed that Durga looks a lot like Mind Controlled Chun-li when she has her hair down from the StreetFighterII Anime.

** His [[spoiler: Creator form utilizes a massive energy ball ala DragonBallZ as an attack, a Slash wave similar to [[KingOfFighters The]] [[FatalFury Reppu]][[ArtOfFighting ken]], and has a [[RainOfSwords Gate of Babylon[=/=]Unlimited Blade Works]] styled sword spam ala ''FateStayNight'' and has a time stop move where the swords stab at you in midair at you during said time stop ala [[JojosBizareAdventure Dio Brando]] or [[{{Touhou}} Sakuya Izayoi]]]].

** Both episodes 11.5 and 15.5 are basically seen as the anime equivalent of DragonsLair or SpaceAce, via the usage of traditional animation with button inputs put in.

** The atmosphere and stage of the [[spoiler: Chakravartin the Creator]] fight is similar to the final Xemnas fight from ''KingdomHeartsII''. The music, another remix of [[AwardBaitSong In Your]] [[RecurringRiff Belief]], is composed similarly to KingdomHearts music as well.

** It's hard to not notice his resemblance to Ganondorf from ''TheLegendOfZelda''

* Asura having a giant arm coming out of one his stumps in episode 11.5 is similar to the way stuff comes out of Naota's forehead in ''Anime/{{FLCL}}''. It helps that the director of the episode was a key animation director for the series. The arm itself also acts like a giant glowing vector from ''Manga/ElfenLied'' and it often expands in size similar to [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Akimichi Chouji]]. The arm also eventually becomes uncontrollable by Asura a lot like Tetsuo from ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' not being able to stop mutating and explodes just like the final scene from the movie version of ''Manga//{{Akira}}''.
