10 Most Powerful Video Game Characters Ever

3. Asura - Asura's Wrath

It's not that I don't think Kratos could fight someone as big as a planet, or withstand being stabbed through space and then out the back of Earth, but I'm yet to see him do it, y'know?

For that reason, Asura has to take the lead, because developers CyberConnect2 really went all out creating a custom fiction where a Very Angry Man is given carte blanche to cleave right through it.

Driven by the need to get revenge on a bunch of demigods who betrayed him and kidnapped his daughter, CyberConnect went way further with sheer depictions of power in a game, than I'd say anyone else ever has.

We're talking fights that are as mountain-splitting as their later Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot game should have been, kinetic exchanges of blows and energy blasts where ginormous craters are left in the ground. That aforementioned stabbing scene includes a sword that's a good 800 miles long, and when Asura really lets go, he unleashes a shockwave that wipes out an entire fleet of starships.
