whats funny, is that eithor kishi wanted to be ironic or is just ignorant because here is the definition of a ashura
Ashura : A very unique creature, the males grotesque, but the females enchanting and beautiful. They often become engaged in war with the Leader of the "Ten"s, because the Ashura gods possess beautiful women, while lacking good food, while the "Ten"s possess rich foods, but lack beautiful women. Thus, they are immensely jealous of each other and seek to snatch the possessions of the other by engaging in war, subsequently wrecking havoc. Still, the "Ashura"s are usually at the losing end. Their personality: easily jealous, suspicious, impatient and prone to violence.
- lol, sure ashura are gods and extremly powerfull,-- they are considered spiritually lower than regular humans---- in bhuddism a human may become a ashura if he/she seeks to lead a good life,- but ends up causing others to suffer.
- by "tens" the definition means deva's- typically benevolent demons--- interesting enough guess who is the leader of the deva-- thats right
indra- god of lightning. --
originillay,- ashura's were keepers of natural and moral phenomenom - however, over time they changed and began to be viewed in a negative light ( mabey naruto starts good- then turns/changes paths?)
however- thats only the "common" definition of ashura.
In some contexts,
Ashura can denote a yellow sun- which is probably what kishi is going for with naruto.
