The Asura was introduced during the match between Inazuma Japan and Soccer Zatsugidan. As Fuujin Raijin Ghost's weakness, which was that it stopped shots from the front and side and not the top, was being exploited by Li Hao's Tenkuu Hayabusadan, and Inazuma Japan was 2 goals behind, Coach Kudou tells the legend of the three arrows: one arrow can be broken easily, while three together cannot. Thus,Nishikage and Saginuma were substituted on as defenders. They started using their Ouke no Tate and Drill Smasher in combination with Endou's Fuujin Raijin Ghost, to create a new technique, The Asura. However, they failed a couple of times, and Nosaka had to come in to save the shot from going in. After Saginuma and Nishikage were reminded by Endou of the fun they were supposed to have while playing, they finally completed the technique, stopping the Tenkuu Hayabusadan.
The Asura was used shortly later again. After the Soccer Acrobatic Troupe used their hissatsu tactic, Shourinji Kousoku Juuhachijin, they initiated the Banri no Choujou and Tenkuu Hayabusadan combination. Sagninuma, Nishikage and Endou then used The Asura to successfully stop it. They had to used it twice more on Li Hao's solo shot, after they initiated more tactics, Mouko Shuurai and got through on goal. However, even though the shot was powerful, the three goalies were able to stop the Tenkuu Hayabusadan.
In the final moments of the match against the Soccer Acrobatic Troupe, the three goalies faced a new shot, Tenhou Chiretsu, of Li Hao and Zhou Xing. This powerful shot was pushing the goalies back, and was going to score. However, Haizaki, Asuto and Nosaka jumped in and gave their all to help stop the shot, in which they succeeded, just before the match ended.
Usage[]
First, the goalie summons Fuujin Raijin Ghost. The other two users simultaneously use Ouke no Tate and Drill Smasher. When Ouke no Tate is used, Fuujin is summoned and it is holding the shield. When Drill Smasher is used, Raijin is summoned and it's hands become drills. The two users place their hands behind the goalie, causing Fuujin, Raijin, and Ghost to merge into The Asura. The goalie raises their hands above their head and claps, causing Asura's three pair of hands to clap, and each pair of hands makes a gesture. The goalie thrusts their hand forward to stop the shot.

Trivia[]
Part of its name, Asura, is a reference to the eponymous three-faced demigod in Buddhism said to make up the realm of hell, an allusion on its appearance.
The "The" in its name is pronounced as Thuh (ザ, Za) instead of Thee (ジ, Ji).
The three gestures The Asura makes appear to be from Japanese Buddhism.
