    Default Mithra: How dangerous?

    Right. I just sold my copy of Asura's Wrath, and played it one last time for posterity(still failed to get a rank-S streak but...) And it occurred to me that the titular character, while retardedly powerful, wasn't the scariest thing about the game. The scariest character in the game? MITHRA. 30,000 year old Loli, that incidentally controls the lifeblood of an entire planet. Just how much firepower does she pack? I give you this feat for Asura, Mithra's father:

    -Chakravartin's set up a shield between himself, Mithra and Asura. Which the latter smashes through.
    -Smashes through, while resisting theflow of Mantra oozing out of God himself, using his Mantra form
    -Gets desperate, and goes Wrath form, with which he actually reaches Mithra, risking killing himself.

    This is where the fun starts: to keep her father safe, Mithra one-shots Asura so hard he's KTFO and thrown back towards Gaea, to the extent that Yasha has to go and catch him. This, while not appearing to even strain and managing to apologize at the same time.

    So. Here's the question: how dangerous, really, is Mithra?

    Considering that the Seven Deities were using her as a battery in order to empower themselves, that she was able to boost Asura and Yasha's power to achieve their Mantra forms, and the fact that Chakravartin, the God of Asura's Wrath, specifically wanted her as a vessel due to her near-unparalleled ability to manipulate Mantra, I'd say she's pretty bloody powerful. God only knows what she would've been capable of if she were trained by her father and uncle.

    She also was able to fly from wherever the final battle happened to Earth. And that was after all the mantra had been destroyed, IIRC.

    We are shown a few inklings that she's inherited at least some of her father's temper; she deed seem a bit irked when Vlitra one-shotted both Yasha and Asura before she gave them their Mantra Form powerups. If she'd been trained in combat?

    Mithra: "UNCLE! Why did you change my name with the registry?"

    Yasha: "Because your name isn't badass enough..."

    Mithra: "...adding "The Mauler" to a girl's name isn't going to help you get nieces and nephews, you know."

    Yasha: "But it is a good title; it can go either before or after your birth name..."

    Those distances IIRC were interstellar, going by what Chakravartin was spamming her old man with before the final battle. I don't think they were intergalactic, but still she's pretty damned quick; she reached Gaea in only a couple of minutes whereas Asura took several. Even with his halo jetpack. Apart from that, she has the same durability as Asura does having been able to walk around in an event horizon. She does however, have another feat: withstanding, again effortlessly, what appears to be the destruction of Chakravartin's personal dimension(read: an event horizon crumbling around her and she didn't even blink)

    AND the kicker? Crashing into the planet at the end didn't seem to be a problem at all. Where it almost always damaged Asura badly.

    So yer, I don't think nukes are gonna do much to her.
