tehraider123 I always hated that I was bored excuse it makes me so mad that's the same reason junko had from Danganronpa the world is boring to me let me just destroy it and despair so unpredictable.

tehraider123 nah I say hazama was more interesting since unlike terumi he can hide his motives even at the finale of this story

Well, hazama DID explain his actions to both ragna and rachel on separate occasions during cf

Yeah it makes it relatable since that could happen to anyone under those conditions

Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same fucking thing... over and over again expecting... shit to change...

GT012345tube He is affected by the time loops the same way Rachel is. He keeps seeing it happening over and over and over again. Rather than never remembering he remembers everything and he hates it all. He hates Amaterasu for having power over him and keeping him as her tool, the only way he can get back at her is destroying her creations. It’s less petty when one considers that very few people ever want to be a slave.

Terumi wants to be free. Without he restrictions of living in creation of Amaterasu, he’s been so much more embittered however that he wants to create his own Creation to torment.

It explains so much of his psychology when you think about it. Can you imagine the size of the ego bruise when a busty zoophiliac *mortal* mage traps Terumi - a *god* - under a mind control spell?

Escpically since he is based on the actual susanoo but even more of a douche

I had a feeling in CP that he was some godly being

I do wonder how many people reflect upon that very same question every time they read the Bi(b)le...?

Its such a fucking amazing twist because you spent the entire series thinking Terumi was just some guy who went nuts and had a huge ego. Then it turns out his ego is actually very justified because he's an ACTUAL Capital-G God and its fucking amazing. Along with the way his personality and mannerisms start to change while he's inhabiting the Susanoo unit and it just really drives it home that Terumi is a God of Destruction.

Agreed

That's the second reason people want power. What about his upbringing? You can find a villain's reasons for being evil if you look in their past.

I don't think Terumi want to be the same as Amaterasu. He just want to be free

It isn't so much that Terumi wants to be "free", it's rather that he wants _complete_ freedom without being held back by _anything,_ not even the laws of physic or logic... Even the Master Unit didn't have that kind of freedom since it was only limited to possibilities. But with the combined power of the Azure and the Master Unit, Terumi wouldn't even be limited by possibility since the Azure would allow him to create all new possibilities if the available ones didn't appeal to him... You can compare Terumi to a human who isn't content with merely being "free," but also doesn't want gravity and the flow of time to be able to tell them what they can and cannot do.

CoolblackEagle10 let's put this into perspective (if in using this word correctly), let's say I am "free" to make that other guy who is also "free" to suffer for my amusement..... would he still be free? or is this a paradox?

Especially true now in Dragon ball super where Kai's, Assholes of destruction and even essentially god can wipe you out of existence just for any arbitrary whim. Could you imagine a universe where a 4 year had the power to wipe out everything on a whim? This made me think about Terumi's goal to obtain "true" freedom. It's a relate-able goal wanting to have nothing tying down your decisions and choices in reality. The problem isn't really obtaining freedom or power, the problem is what you're planning to do with it? In Terumi's case we see him wanting to create the ultimate dystopian future. It goes to show that without restrictions people like Terumi can do whatever they want for better or worse but with too much restrictions making any meaningful choice becomes a laughable impossibility. As one is punished for the slightest provocation and all their actions are carefully studied, and planned move by move (Destiny in most anime).

funny enough he would most likely be the biggest problem for Zamas and black goku

Are we starting the #Susanoodidnothingwrong train now?

#Terumilivesmatter

If he wasn't dragging the multiverse into his own personal drama I'd respect and admire him ,for his pursuit of freedom.

I was going to disagree with the Satan allusion. But it might just work.

Metaphysicist kind of like Lucifer in SMT?

Considering that three of those protags are Jin, Noel and Tsubaki it’s hardly surprising.

Jokes aside, the characters made to highlight that small part of everyone that's tired of taking shit from everything, it's hard not to feel for him

He is the "Soul" of the Susano'o unit, born from the hatred of being a slave for Amaterasu for all eternity

Thanatos True. Terumi just wanted to be free.

This dude has been called maddog for a reason even just look at his name it has been called azrael in based on legend azrael is archangel of death based in islam

He's a descendent of Wolfgang krauser and reincarnation of akuma (At least in my head canon)

I havent seen all of CF story mode [just a few key scenes snd the ending section] but i am pretty sure his insane power isn't explained. Hes strong because....anime. I can admit i could be wrong. CP didnt bother explaining Azrael's power either and that game was his debut. Or hes simply a Sector 7 science experiment gone wrong. I don't know. Im willing to stand corrected here.

In CF or CP story mode Relius Clover says to Carl that isolation or solitude makes a soul stronger and also if your soul and body are in complete sync or harmony you will get EVEN stronger. My theory is that since Azrael is always locked up and separated from people whether it be in the Dog House or wherever he stays alone for so long that he actually grows stronger from that. Also if you make Relius fight Azrael in CF or CP in VS mode and let Relius "win" in his win quote he comments that Azraels "soul and vessel" are in complete harmony. So i think that's where all of his power comes from.

@@mad-counter7393 In short, Azreal is literally built different. Soul and all. I mean think about it. He's built like a shit brick house, and on top of that, his soul and body are in complete sync which makes his soul as strong as his physical body, which in turn makes his body stronger again, and it just keeps looping out of control. Which is probably the actual reason why he has his limiters on him. To keep his power in check because he himself fears it getting out of control and consuming him.

Keep going, that's his weakness, I mean, I don't blame him

You mean Hazama too lol

otobot45 yep

Yes

Mhm

I never watched Green Lantern, is that what parallax is like?

Depends on what version of Lucifer your using for various fiction. Detective Comics Lucifer (Way too damn powerful and way too damn smart. The dude can create Multiverses. Also never ages, and go only really be erased by an Omnipotent being such as the Prescence) as well as Shin Megami Tensei Lucifer (Regular take on people with power over entire dimensions and reality warpers) would stomp, and of course Judeo Christian Mythology.

There's several Lucifer in fiction (and most of them are OP as fuck) You need to be more specific

Imma Xehanort I feel that Terumi would thrive in SMT. Nobody said he needed his hate to be from humanity specifically like the other gods or demons. If he can obtain the divine anger of any god or unholy demon, he’d probably get a major power boost from it.

It's actually more complex...

Yes, me too waits for something, due to all what he does since beginning and the fuck of takamagahara just makes terumi super badass

I don’t see anything wrong with his goals not being complex as long as the motivation and end is written well.

🤦
