He made a vow that day, to never falter again, and grew up to become a brutal but respected captain of the Spartan Army. Ares and Athena took down the man’s brother, and left him scarred, literally. But Zeus saw premonitions of a marked warrior who was going to overthrow him, one of his sons. He grew up training with his brother Deimos, and wished to be part of the Spartan army. so be it.”Ī long time ago, in an ancient era at the peak of Greece, there was a man, born to the King of Gods, Zeus.

Because of these contentious aspects, we’ll simply be doing away with such things and focusing exclusively on in-game and officially published sources, to determine whether his feats and arguments stand on their own or not. There’s a notion that’s become especially prominent recently that all of Kratos’ scaling is reliant on such statements, and that there’s a major distinction between “Twitter Kratos” and “actual Kratos”. ![]() Not only are these types of correspondence much easier to fabricate and reviewed less stringently than in-game information, they’re also a major source of contention in terms of being usable in the first place. This type of evidence is very prominent in God of War power-scaling debates, and there are a few reasons we won’t be using it. This is to say, statements made on Twitter or Facebook posts, or email communications with game developers and other things of the sort. The big thing that we will NOT be doing is including ANY social media information. As these mainly expand on the games’ existing story. All novels will also be used for Kratos, as will officially-published guides and game artbooks. from God of War: Ragnarok are also being included, which is a relatively recent release at the time of writing. We will be going in-depth for both sides of the character’s history. While we are aware that this is a contentious topic, we will be allowing Kratos the use of both his Greek and Norse equipment and abilities for this battle, to allow him to fight at his peak, rather than lock him out of one or the other arbitrarily. This is apparently due to his Greek magics having died alongside Greece itself at the end of the original trilogy and thus became unusable, though he's said he still knows how to use his magic. He went on to obtain new tools and abilities in Nordic lands, but never re-acquired the majority of his old assets. Apparently between the events of God of War 3 and the God of War 2018, Kratos canonically lost access to his Greek magic and the majority of his weapons. Also we are counting the Street Fighter crossover DLC, because why not really. Surprisingly there’s also a manga, which will be included to the best of our ability despite the lack of a full translation. ![]() What we’ll be using for Asura is pretty simple - he really only has one game after all, plus some extra DLC and an artbook. Will the wielder of Mantra overcome Kratos’ might, or will the God of War put an end to Asura’s Wrath? It is time to answer the age-old question: who would win a DEATH BATTLE! But even when they stopped aspiring for that blood, it still drenched their past.īut today these god-slayers will not be facing selfish deities, but rather one another. ![]() They became enraged, spiteful, and sought nothing but the blood of those who ruined their lives, putting them in their rightful place. When it comes to these two, while they may have seen the best and worst of the gods firsthand, the worst outweighed the best. Depending on how gods acted, they could either be loved, or become a target of anger and rage. However, while these gods may look down on humans and are believed to be wise, beautiful, strong, and so much more, they can in truth be as cruel, unjust, destructive, and vain as the mortals they view themselves as above. ![]() Kratos, the pantheon-slaying Ghost of Sparta and God of War.Īsura, the fallen but destructive Mantra-wielding Demigod of Wrath.Īcross history, men across the world have looked up to the numerous different pantheons of gods. “Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.” -Mark Twain
