Wrath Of The Gods ft.  

Kratos: So your daughter is still alive? Asura: …and safe on Gaea, because if me. Kratos: I guess I’ll have to respect that.

"You should not have come, God of Wrath. Now you face the Ghost of Sparta." "Don't call me a god!"

We all agree that the winner will protect the fallen's child out of respect for their opponent right?

Atreus and Mithra be taking “my dad could beat up your dad” to the next level

Zeus VS Odin 🤝 Kratos VS Asura Being named *Wrath of the Gods*

Asura: The world has no need of gods who only take!! Kratos: The time of the gods has come to an end!!

2:53 I can only imagine this momento when both Kratos and Ashura are fighting in a cutscene, with all their power being used and all their rage and spirit burning in every attack.

Radiating Wrath, A strugglers ghost, A father's mantra, Gods only fear you, Now Wrath of the GODS.

Kratos: As a God. You and Me been through so much pain. Asura: Indeed. But It's time that we end this pain......with a battle of wrath.... Kratos: I agree. *FIGHT*

OMG! A commission for Kratos vs Asura! The runner up for the 3d poll and TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS? And with Therewolf Media! This is so BASED AND HARDCORE, Yates!

Wiz: Kratos: The all mighty God Of War. Boomstick: And Asura: P..s him off & you will face his wrath. Wiz: Much like the incredible Hulk, these 2 behemoths can use their rage & anger to their advantage in the battlefield. Boomstick: But unlike The Hulk, these 2 don't need nuclear radiation to become stronger. Why? Because they are ACTUAL GODS! Wiz: Not only that, they also hold a massive grudge against the other gods who trigger their anger in the first place. Boomstick: He's Wiz & I'm Boomstick. Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor & skills to find out who will win a Death Battle!

If I had a nickel for every time Kratos VS Asura was the runner-up of a Death Battle champion poll, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

their anger couldn't be more peaked.

Asura for the win

"Fine, I'll do it myself." -Commissioner of Wrath of the Gods, probably. Also quite funny that a track involving Kratos and Asura, two characters that aren't very fond of the gods of their universes, ends up named the same as a Therewolf Media track about Odin VS Zeus, two gods known for being kind of jerks. Funny coincidence. Really happy that this matchup is getting a track given it's been denied its episode for the second year in a row now so a song's a more than decent consolation price. And it wasn't halfhearted either. Just looking at the fact that it features Therewolf Media and the sheer quality of the track art shows it's got quite a lot of effort put into itself. And that's something that's completely audible in the track itself. It wonderfully gets across all sides of the characters and all that in an absolutely epic and emotional song that sounds great. It finds a really good balance between conveying the sheer power and wrath of the characters with overpowering percussions along with sheer amount of instruments and the calmer and more tragic side of the characters with much softer and composed chants and brass/wind notes. Notably this mix is very interestingly integrated in the song's duration as a whole entire dynamic. The song first starts, of course pretty powerfully with the percussions, but is most notably quite composed with a crescendo wind melody that gives it an almost uplifting and hopeful atmosphere to it. It really feels like the fight begins with the two not actually wanting to fight one another but still showcasing impressive amounts of power, albeit in a controlled measure as they still think they can stop the fight before having to kill their enemy. But as the song progresses this dynamic slowly shifts the opposite way. Starting at 0:56 where we get something much more imposing and powerful than before to get across how the two of them are slowly letting go of their morals, even if there most definitely still is reason in their actions as is proven by the very melodic wind instrument still being heard all throughout even the most powerful segments. The presence of this wind instrument to me showcases the will and determination those two have to hold on to their ideals and morals: even if they come to realize that they're fighting to the death, they try their hardest to give the best of themselves in a way that respects the opponent and to not lash out in rage. But once the song calms down as a break in the fight happens, it's clearly audible that the two have come to terms with the fact that they're not getting out of there alive unless they use lethal force, which is why when the song starts picking up again starting at 2:22, instead of "mellowing down" to have the wind instrument be the leading one like before in the song (1:25), it just picks up once again in intensity with the percussions gaining more power and overshadowing the previously lead wind instrument. This to me showcases, as said before, the two letting go of their morals and ideals as they realize only sheer power will lead them to victory and how, for perhaps one final time, they must showcase the true rage that brought them to where they are in the hopes of winning this battle. Which leads the song in its final segment starting at 2:53 with Therewolf's absolutely fantastic guitar solo segment, showcasing a final clash between the two where they just lash out in rage and power at the other. I really like the sheer scale and power that this segment has because, while it most definitely gets the rage of the characters across, it also gets their sadness and tragedy across. The percussions that are constant and impactful along with the guitar that sounds almost frenetic feel like a forced march onwards onto nothing, it is a wrath with no goal nor reason that just keeps on going without stop which is exactly what the characters have come to despise about themselves and their surroundings. It represents wonderfully how, while of course seeing the two rage in a final epic clash would be absolutely amazing to see, it'd also be a tragic finish because it'd go against their very ideals. Which is why, when the song starts to stop as the fight comes to an end at 3:34, it doesn't end in a joyful or epic final note but instead a slow and sad descent that finishes into a final set of piano notes. It absolutely perfectly gets across how this fight wasn't one of heroes but of broken warriors that gave out everything they had for one final fight that pushed and destroyed the last of their ideals so that they could come out alive, making the winner of this clash victorious only in a pyrrhic sense. Because while they won the battle, not only did it result in the death of an individual they could identify with but it resulted in them shattering their morals. Truly a wonderfully tragic ending to such a matchup, it's not the happy ending either character deserves for sure but it's the ending that such a matchup would most likely have if a battle to the death between the two were to happen. Overall this track is, unsurprisingly, really freaking good. It captures every sides of the characters from their more brutal and violent sides to their most composed and pacific ideals which all around results in a perfectly fitting and appreciable song that also has a very good story-driven dynamic. I also didn't mention it a lot but of course Therewolf's participation in the track massively improves it if not only for that ending solo that gives even more life to the song than it already had. All of Kratos and Asura's tracks on this channel have been outstanding and this one is no exception because it's borderline perfect at what it strives to do, the only regret I have being that we won't be able to hear in the episode itself when it inevitably happens in Death Battle (altho I have no doubt that will it be Therewolf or Brandon that does the track will manage to at the very least equal if not better this song for the occasion). Wonderful job with this to both artists.

Two godly fathers who put everything on the line for their children.

We'll get this one as an official matchup someday. In the meantime though, let's just bask in the glory that is this music.

Howdy Commissioner here, been a fan of this mu for a long time and decided to give this one try. The amount of support the mu has gotten is cool to see and love how the track came out capturing both perfectly, continued bangers from yates and therewolf. And a shoutout for dek for the amazing cover art.

In Therewolf Media channel there's a commission track which is also called like this, the only difference is that one is about Zeus VS Odin from their respective mythologies, and in the God Of War games are based on both Greek and Norse mythologies. Oh, and both MUs were featured in the Tournament of Champions and both ended up losing. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!

I can see it Atreus/Mitra: ....FATHER!!!!!! *Kratos and Asura Scream with all their Power* X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X *Kratos and Asura Punch Eachother* Kratos and Asura: RAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

I feel like Kratos would spend the fight convincing Asura to not fight, to grow as he did, to be better for their children so that they can be better Gods, Kratos in the new God of War has time to reflect and know tjat nothing good comes from killing Gods, he simply wishes for Atreus to be better than him

Reserving my spot before this episode becomes real.

FIR- **gunshot** your welcome

This matchup feels like its ripped straight from both games and I love it

This track is GODLIKE! I can't wait for you to somehow top it when Kratos vs Asura is confirmed for Death Battle Season 32!

Angry dad fight? Angry dad fight.

Now do Asura vs Kratos vs Doomslayer lol. Anyways this is a golden sounding track. Kratos FTW

Somebody went insanely hard on the cover art and the track is just as good. Hope this gets a vocal version someday. The references in the cover are great. Asura and Kratos are in the positions that Asura and Wyzen were with Asura taking Wyzen's place in the Heavens. Asura in his destructor form. The rain of fists from when he went up against a horde of Gohma while armless. If I remember correctly while we have seen Kratos bound by his own blades before, this maybe a reference to Nemean Crush, which by the name was originally for the Nemean Cestus, he now does the maneuver with the Blades of Chaos where he extends his blades behind him and then slams them together for an explosion.

At the pinnacle of their duel, the two Gods of Wrath and Vengeance, fiercely crash their fists together, their battle being felt throughout the realms. Eventually, they’ve clashed so hard that they’ve literally hit each other back in time once more, to the beginning of the universe. Both fighters now on one humongous asteroid have reached their peaks “This cycle will end here!” Asura says, his voice bellowing throughout the cosmos. He rushes, aura surrounding his golden fist once more. Kratos stands there preparing for the incoming strike. “WE DO NOT BELONG IN THIS WORLD, DISAPPEAR!” Kratos attempts to block, but the attack was far too fast and powerful for defense. Asura’s fist smashes against the Ghost of Sparda’s bearded face. Asura began pushing, pushing, and PUSHING B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B- As pools of energy spurted from the clash… Asura could feel as though… he’s making no progress. His anger has broken through his limits, yet to no avail. Kratos grabbed the God’s fist. “No. Death can have me… when it earns me.” Swiftly, Kratos pushed the golden fist , redirecting the attack entirely. The canon of wrath from Asura’s fist shoots out into distant space. “Huh?!” Is all Asura could muster to say. Kratos chopped Asura’s neck, pushing Asura down. Despite all his rage, Asura was now edging towards defeat. He looked at the God of War and sensed something… different. No anger, vengeance, it was something deeper. He rubbed his neck, seeing streaks of blue flame-like energy on it. “This power… what IS THIS?!” Kratos turned to his advisary and stared deep into his soul. Asura saw a gleaming blue light, the same on his neck, in Kratos’s eyes. What was originally a sliver is now at full power. “Hope. It is what makes us strong. It is what we fight with to when all else is lost” He said calmly. Asura struggled to his feet, but understood. He closed his eyes and reached deep inside of him… for his own hope. “Durga… wait for me.” Understanding that this could be the end, both Gods readied themselves and steeled their resolve, charging at each other one last time…

*("IT'S TIME TO FACE YOUR FFFFEEEEAAAARRRRSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")*

Kratos: I've see the way you fight to protect your loved ones Asura: As do I, "Ghost of Sparta" Kratos: Then let me test your resolve... FIGHT (Note: Yes, I do think it's a friendly spar, not a battle of them just going ham from the get-go, I think a spar is more is better than just a bloodbath, and I do think it will turn into bloodbath later into the fight, but other than that, the fight is just the two being friends)

Although the Kratos in the artwork is clearly his Olympian incarnation, I feel like Kratos’s Norse incarnation would probably be used if we ever did get a Death Battle between him and Asura.

3:45 Kratos: You let wrath consumes you...but you are powerful warrior and have my respect. Hope for our path cross again. * Kratos leaves the place while the only thing asura left was his arm with his fist closed, announcing kratos victory.

I imagine Asura eventually going to his Destructor form and Kratos using his Blades of Chaos to Climb up Asura and go inside his body while planning on using the Blade of Olympus to kill him from the inside

This is exactly the name I would've gone with for this matchup.

I really do hope this becomes an official matchup on Death Battle. Kratos in particular is LONG overdue for a return to Death Battle

This track and its art should be preserved in an ancient temple to be worshipped for how hard it pops off! While I'm glad Tom vs Wile E beat this in the tournament, I still hope we get it someday.

Oh hell yes. There is no fury stronger than that of a furious parent but for these two even the gods aren't safe from their wrath when truly riled.

"Alex Mcgrath" & "tom fooler. E" may have got lucky wining the champions tournament/poll but this still isn't gonna end the war.

This looks and sounds badass!

The fight we've all wanted to see.

Great to see the duo is back yet again in a score

That's some good looking art

This battle would be insane!

Peak matchup and peak track

Amazing "Wrath of the Gods" is perfect for these characters

Yo that track art is amazing

Got damn such a cool track and badass cover art. got damn amazing!!!!! 👍 Also, a really cool match up Kratos and asura fit and contrast each other so well I really hope death battle uses this song whenever they do the fight one day. Definitely saving this to the playlist for sure

Saw this artwork a while back; so glad to see it finally get put to use! Certainly worth the hype. The team-up between legends never dissapoints!

Awesome job Brandon and Aaron😁👍👏

now this is one I would really love to see in DB eventually. The track is great and fits them both perfectly.

LETS GO BABY!!! I can feel the actual episode coming closer and closer!

God MU, god track, 10/10, very nice. Thx for everything Brandon

Welp can’t say this wasn’t coming props

I can't be the only one who wants Zeus Vs Deus (God of War Vs Asura's Wrath) right?

That cover art goes hard

Thanks Therewolf for helping out here and JPVS Scores You Will Revere Our Names, giving your helping hand so that they turn out as great as they did. Thank you!

The track is really good! I need this to become a Death Battle either in this upcoming season or the next

I really hope this gets a vocal version

A song worthy of these gods of wrath and war.

This is incredible. And I commissioned Wrath of the Gods (Zeus vs Odin)

Damm. That art is sick.

When Brandon and Therewolf Media team up for a track magic happens awesome magic happens.

Holy Shit DK went god mode for the cover, your art team have been cooking this volume 🔥. Killer track as well you and Therewolf did this MU justice 👌

Distressed Pink (Princess Peach VS Amy Rose) [Mario VS Sonic]

Can’t wait! I love Asura! It’s such a cool matchup and whether Asura wins or loses, I win for seeing my boy

Amazing track Simply peak

The song is just as hardcore as it is emotional. A perfect representation of their respective journeys.

Now we just need to get Hulk and Doom Slayer in on this for peak ANGRY.

Hell yeah

Bout damn time Kratos vs Asura track LETS FUCKING GO

Oh, oh this will be good.

Good track

Battle of raging fathers 🤘🏿😤🤘🏿

Asura wins pretty handedly, mostly cause all of Kratos’ high tier stuff comes from novels that are secondary canon and statements with no actual in game backing. Meanwhile Asura casually fights way higher tier stuff by default. Him killing Wyzen is one of his weakest and yet still trumps everything Kratos has ever been seen to do.

Damn

IT'S TIME TO BODY THE PLANET!

I hope that Kratos and Asura gets a death battle one day since I imagine it's one of the more requested death battles.

This was hype as fuck -for a mid match- Brandon and Therewolf! Especially the end when the drums go off! Definitely sounds like something I'd hear in Asura's Wrath (not sure about god of war since I haven't played them). Rooting Asura, thinking Kratos will win the episode since they buy lore statements

This should have won the Tournament of Champions, there, I said it But the one I really wanted was Hiccup and Toothless VS Hiro and Baymax

3:45 What I imagine here If Kratos wins: He’d say a few words showing Asura respect as he dies. If Asura wins: After (somehow) permanently killing Kratos, out of pure rage, Asura turns into his berserk form and roars into the sky.

Finally

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN! I WANT TO SEE BUTTON MASHING AND PLANETS BODIED DURING THIS! LETS ROCK!!!

This seems like it could use a vocal version. I'd commission one if I had the money, but I'm broke at the moment so I can't.

This almost feels like the fans who want this match are being taunted.

I wish this will be at Death Battle if I see the whole fight.

Wanted Asura vs Hulk but hey I'll take it.

An alternate name would be God of Wrath

Chinese Mythology DLC for GoW looking lit

After Kratos vs Asura they need to do Zeus vs Deus

Oh hell yeah, let's throw in Doom Slayer just to spice things up for the Holy Trinity. The Father Kratos The Son Doom Slayer The Holy Spirit Asura Let your hatred swell with rage unquelled, unbroken.

"Chaotic Destruction" (Ryuga vs Shadow) [Beyblade vs Sonic] "True and Pure Evil" (Jack Horner vs Rafal) [Puss in Boots vs The School of Good and Evil] "Skeletal Standards" (Arc vs Ainz Ooal Gown) [Skeleton Warrior vs Overlord] "Neutronic Brains" (Jimmy Neutron vs Dexter) [Jimmy Neutron vs Dexter's Laboratory) "One to Score" (Brandon Yates vs Therewolf Media)

can just hear the button mashing of asura in the last half of this track

This battle in of itself could be a season finale ep cause it’s two literal god killers going against each other I don’t get why this wasn’t number 1 pick

What I find funny is that this was on the tournament of champions twice and lost both times. What that tells me is that a lot of people really want this fight, but when given the choice it is not their first pick. It's a cool fight, but I find that a little ironic.

I bet people would be pissed if the title was actually called “Second Place”

I list the cover art is based off the first boss fight in Asura's Wrath, Wyzen, which is also a reference to Journey to the West when Buddha buried Wukong

Let's be honest, this fight would be an absolute curb stomp.

If we only focus on game feats, Asura wins But if we take into account MYTHOLOGY context with those feats, Kratos wins
