A follow-up to the previous CRT, today I'll present my reworks of Yasha and Chakravartin's profiles, together with a few more things.
First, the new verse page.
It's freaking impossible to find consistent art for all characters, so I had to resort to HD screenshots and some hand-made cropping. Other than that, I gave some touches to the various sections, including a new one for the accepted calcs.
I'm open to suggestions regarding a division of the characters, since the current division for tiers is just ugly. At first I thought about "Demigods/Shinkoku" and "others", but it doesn't look good either, so I decided to put them all together.
If you don't see the remaining 3 demigods, it's because it's been decided to delete them (see the previous CRT), something I'll do once I apply the new page.
Now, onto the characters.
Yasha
New file, Old file
Tiers, keys and stats have been adjusted as previously accorded, the only relevant things to talk about are the P&A.
Chakravartin
The MVP everyone was waiting for. They've got a few more things to discuss, so bear with me. New file, Old file
Gender and Age:
Chakra is referred to as a male, but the game's bonus material classifies them as unknown twice.
Them being "as old as the universe" is a misconception that tags along many others across the history of the internet and the fandom because of their characterization as supreme gods.
As we'll see later in the P&A, Chakravartin is indeed a godlike entity, but they are never stated to predate the universe nor having create it, as their main creation is Mantra (which is not a fundamental aspect of reality, but rather an artificial element they have introduced) and their actions have always been focused on planets, with only slight and possible hints to other dimensions.
As a little premise on Naraka and the Samsara, Chakravartin is stated to rule the former and control the latter, but there's no solid evidence that they have actually created them, and the cycle of life, death and rebirth kept going even their demise.
Naraka itself, within the AW verse, is a realm between life and death, and not the absolute of either of them. To make a fun and little inference in real-world culture, the title of Chakravartin is used in various indian traditions to refer to an ideal monarch of the mortal world, and not to a deity.
Their new age is based on that of Shinkoku Tastrium, which I date in the tens of millions of years due to Strada being the 128th emperor and the fact that the demigods don't have aged a day despite the passing on 12k years (not even Mithra), meaning that their civilizations dates back to at the very very least a few million years to make an unreasonably generous lowball.
Keys: Reduced to two, since their various forms all belong to the same interation, and so they've been crammed into the second key. The first one is for his Golden Spider state.
As the Spider, most of their base stats are unknown due to the lack of showings, while the others scale to murdering Olga.
We used to scale Olga, Kalrow and Sergej to 5-B out of Wyzen being the weakest among the 7 deities, which still applies, but not to his powered-up form in my opinion.
Wyzen consumed a fuckload of Mantra, so it makes sense for his Gongen form to be stronger than the base form of those three, who would have in turn grown much stronger had they used the same amount of Mantra. Because of this, I believe they should scale only to his base, 6-B key, and thus does Chakra for oneshotting Deus's lapdog.
Weaknesses: Added an explanation relating to their Spider form, with also some speculations based on various showings and deductions
Needs an appropriate vessel such as Mithra in order to manifest his original self and exert his true power; however, since they were willing to release her[4] (and even lost her in the end), they might need to possess a vessel only once every set amount of time. Highly arrogant and underestimates his opponents. Involuntarily released Mithra upon sustaining too much damage.
Notes: To clarify a few things
P&A:
And that was all, phew.
Making Yasha was extremely boring, while Chakra was quite more fun, obviously.
Next time, we'll tackle the remaining characters.

Yasha
New file, Old file
Tiers, keys and stats have been adjusted as previously accorded, the only relevant things to talk about are the P&A.
- Immortalities and Regeneration: All of them. We've already established that demigods only have good longevity, while Yasha has never displayed any of the other types he currently has. Even type 2 is really questionable, since not all demigods have the same resilience Asura has. For example, gutting was enough to kill both Augus and Sergej, and they generally lack feats of such kind.
- Resistance to Cold: Classic outdated resistance due to old misconceptions on how space works.
- Cyborgization, Longevity, Genius, Enhanced Senses, Analytical Prediction, NPI, Homing Attack, Stat Amp, Attack Reflection, Resistance to Heat: Yasha is basically Asura's Echo Fighter, so he gets most of the same stuff, but with his own examples.
- Summoning (+ flight and energy projection): Can call the "Lone Wolf" corvette at will; the rest comes from the corvette's description, which I added as standard equipment
- Bodily Weaponry: (Can utilize his hands as if they were sharp blades even without resorting to using Mantra, which only enhances such ability). You can see examples all over the profile
- Likely Electricity Manipulation (His Vajra form is apparently able to emit electricity)
- Likely Soul Manipulation (Should possess the ability to collect the souls of mortals just like other members of the Seven Deities do. Actively participated in the mass reap of human souls occurred under Deus's reign)
- Limited Technology Manipulation and Healing (Opened Asura's chest cavity with a hand gesture. Used his own Mantra reactor to heal and re-activate Asura's body)

Notes: To clarify a few things
- The notion about Golden Chakravartin being located at the middle of the Milky Way and attracting it to them contained within the Asura's Wrath: Official Complete Works book refers to unused material and concept art, which don't reflect what is shown in the final version of the game.
- Some of Chakravartin the Creator's abilities are displayed when the player fails a QTE.
- Even though it's unclear how much of Chakravartin's inherent powers can be utilized while forced into their Golden Spider form, it's also unknown at what point they assumed their original form for the last time; thus, the first P&A key lists everything Chakravarting is known to having done before Episode 19.
P&A:
- Immortality: As previously said, there's no evidence of them having ageless immortality rather than super longevity
- Elasticity: Traded for Body Control, see below
- Illusion Creation: Traded for BFR, see below
- Shapeshifting: No clue, I guess it was a mix of possession, transformation and such, doesn't really apply.
- Regeneration: It most likely refers to their body being cracked during their fight with Asura and then being restored upon entering their Creator form. Since we don't see them actively healing, and their transformation is a complete metamorphosis, I don't think they qualify for Regeneration.
- Resistance to Cold: Same story
Spider/Inherent
Base
- Longevity: As previously said, there's no evidence of them having ageless immortality rather than super longevity
- Inorganic Physiology: Spider: (Appears to be completely mechanical). Real form: (Despite the appearance, their body seems to possess the properties of a construct,[4] likely made out of Mantra)
- Small Size (Type 2; About as big a large spider)
- Dimensional Travel (Can freely cross the boundary between Naraka and the real world. Might be able to travel to different realities, as it is unknown whether their mission of world guidance[4] encompasses only planets or extends to other dimensions)
- Clairvoyance (Was aware of every event occurring in the material world despite residing in Naraka for the majority of the time. Somehow knew that Asura had lost his memories[5])
- Mantra Manipulation and Bestowal (Is the creator and embodiment of Mantra, an energy stemming[6] from prayers and emotions, which also exists in large quantities within the souls of every living being. Such energy is the source of power of every supernatural being in the universe and was bestowed by Chakravartin[4] upon few of the first humans, enabling them to evolve into demigods.[7] Intended to give Asura further power.[3] The existence of Mantra is tied to Chakravartin's own life, as their death leads to its complete disappearance from the whole universe; lesser demigods will be reverted back to normal humans, while those such as Asura will be erased from existence,[8] even if the power of their own Mantra surpasses that of Chakravartin itself[4])
- Life, Death Manipulation and possibly Soul Manipulation ([9] over Naraka, a world between life and death[10] where all souls go before returning to be part of their home planet[11]. Controls Saṃsāra, the wheel of life, death and rebirth.[8] Chakravartin's exact involvement in the genesis and functioning of both remains unexplored, as the latter kept going[4] even after their death. Chakravartin itself states to having a destiny to follow[8] and might have been reincarnated along with other characters[12])
- Thread Manipulation (Can spray golden strings and use them to bind foes or enable the possession of his victims)
- Corruption (Twisted the will of planet Gaea, fueling its rage and having it give birth to of Gohma Vlitra[3])
- Social Influencing (Provided support[5] to Asura whenever his soul was cast into Naraka, stimulating[13] his rage and guiding[14] him through his quest)
Base
- Body Control (Can stretch their limbs[3] beyond their normal reach)
- Dimensional Storage (Imprisoned Mithra into a sphere[3] which they keep close to or within[4] themselves)
- Multiple Selves (Type 3; Keeps Mithra together with them, often within their very being)
- Homing Attack (Some of their orbs have a slight homing effect[4])
- Aura (Can use an invisible force to push their opponents away. Can also emit similar waves from their palms[3][4])ù
- Minor Light Manipulation (Constantly surrounded by a rainbow halo coming out of their body)
- Telepathy (Spoke to Mithra's subconscious[8])
- Biological Manipulation (Can spawn as many Gohma[8] as we wishes; Gohma are natural organisms that are suddenly mutated into monsters[11])
- BFR (Broke through the Event Horizon, sending Asura's real self to Naraka and then making him come back through a warp in reality[4])
- Avatar Creation (Created a titanic replica[15] of themselves which fought as a proxy against Asura. Generated yet another duplicate to battle him in Naraka[4])
- Large Size (Type 2 to 7; So giant to make galaxies look tiny in comparison. Is visible to the naked eye from Gaea, which is located millions of light years away. Its smaller counterpart remains colossal in size and rivals the towers of Naraka)
- Enhanced Senses (Can accurately aim at targets from intergalactic distances)
- Pseudo Portal Creation (Breaking through the statue transported Asura into the Event Horizon
- Martial Arts and Acrobatics (Focuses much more on physical combat and boasts incredible agility)
- Bodily Weaponry (His hands are as sharp as blades)
- Further Energy Projection and Weapon Creation (Makes use of circular and vertical waves, explosive spear-shaped constructs and giant energy balls)
- Explosion and Vibration Manipulation (Can trigger detonations and shockwaves, which can even be sent directly into the opponent's head through physical contact)
- Likely Electricity Manipulation (Many of his attacks produce white lightning bolts and cracking sounds)
- Limited Speed Amplification (Can dash at higher speed than normal for short bursts)
And that was all, phew.
Making Yasha was extremely boring, while Chakra was quite more fun, obviously.
Next time, we'll tackle the remaining characters.
