Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* In the fight against Augus, near the end of the battle on the moon, when Augus is [[UpToEleven flinging Asura from the moon to the earth with his extendo-sword]], he's tries a NotSoDifferentRemark on Asura. When that doesn't stick, and Asura [[OhCrap gets impaled on the sword]], Augus asks why he and Asura are different, and right after that we get a short flash of Asura's daughter, Mithra, looking at the screen. In that brief second you see a young woman, looking downright ''helpless''. Just goes to show that 12,000-plus years of betrayal by the Seven Deities is not fun.

* Chapter 22 has a subtle Tearjerker right at the start in the title: "A Life Well Lived." Just reading that title alone is warning enough that Asura won't live through the battle.
** When Asura tells Mithra "But you will still live," and then shoots past her. Her eyes widen in shock, and then her face twists in horrified grief, because she knows what her father is about to do. It's one of the most heartrending moments, simply due to the ''pain'' on her face. The rest of the ending has equal parts happiness and sadness, but that moment is just bawl-out-your-eyes, grief-stricken ''agony''.
*** And her scream! God, so much despair and anguish in her scream...
----> '''Mithra''': ''FATHEEEEEEEER!!''
*** Asura hears this, and squeezes his eyes shut for what he must do in order to protect his daughter.
*** And then [[CoupDeGraceCutscene you unleash the final BURST of the game]].

* ''Episode 12: Gods of Death'' has one of the most tragically powerful scenes in the entire game. [[spoiler:We see the little girl who has followed Asura through the wastelands since his second revival running towards Asura as Olga gives the command to her fleet to bomb the village, followed by Asura awakening after the attack to find her body. Just [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_girl_2910.png seeing her body]] and Asura's reaction will likely bring a tear to most players' eyes.]]
** Asura's complete breakdown afterwards as well. He's not simply angry or enraged, he's consumed by a horrible mix of grieving agony and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge pure, undiluted]] ''[[UnstoppableRage hatred]]''. His primal screams are mixed with horrified crying. At this point, Asura has truly lost ''everything'' in his life and for the first time in the game, ''[[PlayerPunch the player is just as enraged as he is]]''. As Asura turns towards the sky, [[spoiler:now taking on the fiery and demonic Berserker Form]], an achievement prompt sums it up: [[spoiler:"Heads Will Roll"]].

** [[spoiler:It's even worse to know that the baby she had been taking care of dies with her.]]
** The chapter's ending offers neither respite nor solace.

For all the power he gained, he could not save anyone.]] His roar will echo in the player's ears long after the credits fade.

* Episode 15's interlude with [[spoiler: Yasha feeling doubts for his cause after seeing a human father crying over his dead son's corpse.]]
* Episode 21 settles the rivalry between Yasha and Asura in a heartbreaking way.

The climax comes as the two run to each other ready throw punches at one another as the scene plays in DeliberatelyMonochrome, SilenceIsGolden, and BulletTime, even the reaction command for the punch. Yasha lets out a small smirk, Asura sees it, his eyes widen, and he stops himself at the last moment, command and all, before he connects the blow. Yasha's face mask breaks, his bandages reveal he has a gaping hole in his chest, and all he has is a [[GoOutWithASmile serene expression]] [[DiedStandingUp with his body frozen in an extended punch]]. His last words were "Go... Save Mithra... and the world."]]
