| — Mithra blessing the Shinkoku Army in the battle against the Gohma | ||
The Coming of a New Dawn is the 1st episode of Asura's Wrath and the first episode of Part I: Suffering.
Overview
The eternal struggle between the Demigods and the Gohma was finally drawing to an end. The Shinkoku Army is led by the great warriors of Gaea -- The Eight Guardian Generals. One of them, the fearless Asura, charges forward with the aid of his Priestess daughter, Mithra. The final battle against the Gohma begins!
Story
The final battle between the Demigods and the Gohma begins. The demigod legions were led by eight elite demigods -- The Eight Guardian Generals. One of them, General Asura, was in the thick of the battle. The Gohma attempt to seize the Karma Fortress, which is defended by a massive fleet led by all eight Generals of the Shinkoku Army.
Asura along with his mentor Augus, his rival/brother-in-law Yasha and his allies Wyzen, Sergei, Kalrow and Olga battle the Gohma and oversee the battlefield. As the generals engage in battle with the Gohma, Asura's daughter Mithra acts as the Priestess of Shinkoku.
Hoping to intimidate Gohma Vlitra, the source of the Gohma, the Commander of the Generals, Deus, orders the Brahmastra to be fired. Incomplete and underpowered, the beam instead awakens Vlitra from its slumber prematurely, who tears open the planet when it reveals itself. Asura breaks off from the fighting and engages Vlitra, but is overpowered by the beast. The priestess of the army Mithra then revitalizes and empowers Asura, who transforms into a powerful form called Six-Armed Vajra Asura to fight Vlitra once again. Asura in his now empowered form subdues Gohma Vlitra alone. The other Generals are shocked, but quickly take credit and declare a final victory over Gohma Vlitra.
Interlude
In the interlude for this episode, Deus and Kalrow discuss the surprise of Gohma Vlitra being subdued by Asura. Acknowledging that Asura had aid from the priestess, Mithra, who is also Asura's daughter, Deus has faith that harnessing Mithra's power will greatly benefit the cause. Deus then begins his plan to bring a new world of peace.
