Hrmm...maybe.
I think that people do often jump to the conclusion that Ashura must be evil, but that look is kind, there good be many explanations as to why Fai sealed him.
But then again...it's obvious Fai is terrified of Ashura himself. At least I think so.

Kirtai:
Ok, I'm joining this thread too.  I must talk about Fai or I'll go crazy!  Does anyone know what Ashura is like in RG Veda?  I agree that Fai is obviously terrified of Ashura finding him.  That's why I want the missing part of the Shura/Shara arc so darn bad.... What must poor Fai have been going through before he got to verify that the Ashura-Ou they were fighting was not his Ashura-Ou?  What I find interesting is that he obviously thinks that Ashura will be dangerous to those he is close to.  It makes me think of suppression- he is afraid to be with someone because of Ashura's almost like ownership of him.  That's the feeling I get, that Ashura still has a great hold on him.  The KuroXFai fangirl in me says that Ashura would be jealous of Kuro, and therefore kill him - that's why Fai is afraid to get close to him. 
    Has anyone seen the seventies anime of Swan Lake?  Fai reminds me of Odette a little; he's a bird in an invisible cage, held captive by an evil wizard, desperately wanting his prince to break the spell, but afraid the breaking will cost them both their lives!  Ok, cheesy rant ended.

Jeannette:
Eh, I've read the first couple books of RG Veda. I have scanlations of the whole thing, but I need to finish reading it. Actually, TokyoPop is doing a good translation of RG Veda right now- I think book five comes out this month. From what I've read of RG Veda, Ashura has this split personality. He can be really sweet and kind, and then he can be absolutely evil. So it can go either way.

Dayanira:
But as far as i understand, it's not THAT Ashura... i mean, in RG VEDA, there were two of them, they were different persons but had the same name. So Ashura from Fai's world is "the first" one, who lived 300 ago (or so) This one: http://www.tsubasachronicle.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=6&pos=25

Pikari:
After finally finishing all of RG Veda, it's kind of hard for me to buy into the 'Tsubasa Ashura is evil' theory.

RG Veda ending spoilers.....
Show contentAshura-ou (Fai's Ashura, the older one who was the father of the younger, genderless Ashura in RG Veda and was dead before the story begins, so only appears in flashbacks) always seemed kind of the silent and moody type when he appeared, at least I thought. And in the end, we find out that Ashura-ou made Taishakuten (the evil king guy) promise to make sure his son would never be un-sealed, because it had been prophesied that his son would destroy the world. And Taishakuten kept his promise, because he was in love with Ashura-ou... so the only reason he was evil was to stay true to his promise. The Ashura clan were supposed to be the god of destruction, merciless and bloodthirsty, but Ashura-ou was not because the seal hadn't entirely been broken, or something like this. So the 'merciless' part only showed up in his son later. But the whole 'seal' plot is interesting compared to Ashura-ou being 'sealed' in Tsubasa. Although it might be pretty lame of CLAMP to rip off their whole RG Veda plot, the idea of split-personality Ashura-ou in Tsubasa is interesting. Perhaps even Ashura-ou asked Fai to seal him, knowing that if the 'merciless' part of him finally came out.... and that's the side of him that Fai's so afraid of. *shrugs* Who knows.
Err... although maybe this should move to the Ashura character thread...  :sweatdrop:
