The Kishin Asura is honestly a far more complex villain than he initially appears to be. In reality, what he boils down to, is someone who wanted to live free of fear.
“The truth cannot be held by clinging to order coated with rhetoric and lies. Covering up what is inconvenient and ignoring the real issues, will not hide the rips in the skin. Is providing false peace really that noble?”
When you think about it, Asura is just an over Thinker rather than a doer. If he had more experience with what he was afraid of he could've been more confident. Asura is a loser.
It’s unfortunate…… Asura will never be free of Fear because he is Fear itself. He simultaneously embodies and feels fear at everything around him and at the same time instills fear into every living organism that surrounds him. He is the Great Old One of Fear that was born from the Fragment of The God who wanted to personify “Absolute Order” and in doing so committed the biggest folly in history by casting off his ability to feel Fear in exchange for one he thought would be a worthy successor to his legacy. …He was wrong.
But what you must also see is that, Death had to rid himself of fear to bring order. He could not dawdle around juggling 'what ifs' or doubting his abilities. Fear is so much more than being afraid. Its questioning all your actions. Its not being willing to step forward to a challenge. It is not seeing a clear picture. In a world where the witches were capable of destroying continents with a single spell he could waste time being fearful or anxious. And eight hundred years later, he relinquished his perfectionism, which was also necessary. Life itself is imperfect and it is those imperfections that allow changes to be made, questions to be asked and actions took t better the world. If one would be bothered by those imperfections, they'd be unable t see the beauty of the world and in humanity itself. Death is far more complex most will give him credit for. He was born to rule over the world with absolute order. A world were life actually holds little value and as such he is the judge, the jury, and, if needed, the executioner. While he was at fault for what Asura was and likely did not do much to help his son, he could not show leeway or be biased in anyway. Asura chose his path and Death had to deal with it accordingly.
@@diabloddrago655 True, Lord Death’s responsibility as the Great Old One of Order was to become the God of Absolute Order so as to better maintain the natural state of the world. However by Giving birth to Asura, he inexplicably allowed for a being on the same level of existence as him to come to fruition thus tipping the scales towards an equilibrium one step short of Madness and Chaos. True he sealed him away, however by the time Asura had become a Kishin, he had already transformed into a True God on the same level as Lord Death himself. Thus making it so that his existence was now a part of the same natural cycle Death was sworn to protect. What’s worse and even more horrifying, is that Lord Death left the world in the hands of his son Kid who despite having gained the power of a True God, was still inadequately unprepared to fight against Asura as he was but a fledgling Grim Reaper. Thus making it so that the only person who could possibly ever defeat or seal away Asura for good, would now be gone forever. Lord Death’s ‘death’ quite literally f*cked the whole world up, and who knows how long it will take before Kid learns to master the true power of a Death God and catch up to his father’s level. Asura truly has no equal or superior anymore. He may be trapped inside BREW’s black blood prison for now, but he’s never been more free than the current age in which the Soul Eater world leaves off on.
@@alirezaomrani7650 Very true. Asura was the embodiment f fear and fear can never be vanquished. Fear is need for survival and thus, perhaps Asura's birth was meant FOR the balance of the world. While Death needed for go his fears to control order, Asura became fear so that humans and beast would not act so carelessly with their lives. (Spoiler wanring for Fire Force) Up the first day of the New World creation after Shinra remade the world and created Death, people couldn't die. A man had his head popped off like a bottle cap and shrugged it off. And there lies a problem,if people cannot fear, they will act carelessly as if there are no consequences. That is why Asura couldn't be destroyed because you cannot destroy fear, just like you cannot erase anger knowledge or power. The madness is eternal because the world IS madness. There is even the theory that Death actually LET Asura become a kishin as to create a balance because if all the power was on their side, then the balance would tip. And as for Kid, Death tried t prepare him but the thing is that only one TRUE reaper can exist at a time. Meaning Asura never fully became a reaper before turning. But Death could only teach Kid so much, because once Kid became a full fledged reaper Death faded away into nothingness. Thankfully Kid took his responsibility without his perfectionist personality taking over. Or else the cycle would just continue anew.
@@uchihakiller201 seeing how the world is and how it was, the world is a place of madness and i end up getting caught in it (as fortold by my manga/graphic novel). when you discover the truth about the nature of mankind, it fills your mind with uncertainty and hopeless which can drive a soul to insanity or hopelessness. itachi along with the kishin and many other anime characters taught me more philosophy than the real world. then again, the writers of anime have their own way of philosophy. itachi is def in my top fav characters
Humans are uncertain creatures. To rule effectively is to be wary of all facets of humanity. Not an easy undertaking. There is some solace in knowing that civility is more the rule than the exception, at least in well governed areas.
@@amaas211 well fear is the ultimate weakness and bravery is the ultimate strength, it depends on if a person has enough courage and bravery to conquer their fears. However the mind and the heart are the most powerful tools a human can possess. Both possess a great deal of power which may tip on one side or the other. Think about people pleasing for instance, when a person has the fear of being seen as useless regardless on whether its real or imaginative, there are 3 solutions. 1) still cower in fear and keep repeating the same thing to expect a different result (which is the very definition of insanity) 2) have enough bravery to rid the shackles of people pleasing or 3) let hell break, give into insanity and madness to be free. The only difference between the last 2 is that one thinks rationally while the other doesnt. Afterall, the kishin is a fragment of deaths fears so of course it makes sense that he is fearful
i do think about this from time to time. some of what he said actually relates to some theories out there. though some of these theories are rejected but still theories. another thing i like to point out is the idea of what asura represents in soul eater. soul eater at the beginning says "a sound soul dwells within a sound mind and a sound body". this quote refers to the idea of order, to be sound is be aware and have a healthy life free from any difficulties that could occur. asura is a the embodiment of fear, so from the start he was never a sound soul as he was easily plagued by paranoia. often times fear does come from uncertainty which is a form of chaos and thusly causes paranoia, anxiety and etc. asura is essentially both fear and madness (madness being an aspect of chaos).
@@char.ger-3321he didn't says imagination only bring fear he only said fear born out of imagination, honestly stopping imagination will bring apathy, but for people who is imagination only bring fear, that is not bad.

that is pretty much the human race. we all live in fear whether we know it or not
and we continue to be distracted, to avoid fear instead of facing it
He's a loser.
If he just did more with his life than think (before he was imprisoned) he could've gained confidence.

There's more to be said about Asura's relation to Death than Asura himself.
Asura was an overthinking loser.
I always found his words interesting, and I'm still mullng over his words as the days go by.
its because in truth we know hes speaking facts
The villians that makes you think are the best ones, truth to be told. After falling into insanity I truly began to see what he was saying
Your sane btw i fw itachi uchiha

The only thinking that Asura makes me do is think he's an overthinking loser and is only best represented in the light of Death's order.

After sitting in the dark your tend to want to go back to it
there is a saying, in the darkest of the night it knows all your secrets
Holy fuck this speech gave me chills
After reading Fire Force, now I can say that he's somehow connected to the Evangelist and Adolla (Also he's Shinra's first grandson)
His a fragment of Death, make sense
@@captainflowers748 Well yeah
@captainflowers748 which is what he said...but shortened...

That words makes me think he just an edgy kid in the classroom
reminds me of how the boss from jojo part 5 says he is like all so powerful cause he has conquered his fate and future by knowing and controlling it.
Asura somehow reminds me of the God Hand...
Although this doesn't excuse his actions, he's got a decent point if you think about it.
I agree with you completely
He was wrong though. Like when he talked about fear coming from your imagination, bc bravery and hope also come from your imagination.
@@char.ger-3321he didn't says imagination only bring fear he only said fear born out of imagination, honestly stopping imagination will bring apathy, but for people who is imagination only bring fear, that is not bad.
