Asura (阿修羅, Ashura) is the strongest and most dangerous antagonist in Soul Eater. He was the first Kishin to ever come into existence.

Asura was a human said to have always possessed an extremely careful soul, this resulted in making him mistrustful of everyone around him, which is the primary reason why he covered his body with ridiculous amounts of clothing. However, despite all his immense power, he was persistently terrified with the greatest fear that was possible. So; in order to protect himself, he became obsessed with power and forgetting all discipline, began eating the souls of innocents who were not listed by Shinigami. This fear eventually drove him to consume even his own weapon partner, causing him to go mad and become the first Kishin.

As the physical embodiment of madness, Asura's behavior is entirely erratic; one minute he seemingly has a completely calm and cool demeanor, the next he is both maniacal and senseless.
