Record of Ragnarok

"At the Council of Valhalla, the gods vote unanimously for humankind's extinction. But Br\u00fcnnhilde, eldest of the Valkyrie sisters, raises her objection."

"In the first round of the Ragnarok battle, Han dynasty warlord L\u00fc Bu puts up a good fight against Norse god Thor, surprising the gods in attendance."

"To give L\u00fc Bu the upper hand against Thor, Br\u00fcnnhilde summons her sister Randgriz and asks her to transform into a sacred weapon \u2014 the Shield Breaker."

"L\u00fc Bu\u2019s legs are crushed by the mighty Geirr\u00f6d Thor's Hammer attack, but just when all hope seems lost, the warlord\u2019s trusty horse Red Hare rides in."

"Chosen for the next round is the father of humankind and the man bearing more hatred towards the gods than anyone else: Adam himself."

"Zeus insists on going up against Adam, who joins forces with Valkyrie Reginleif to obtain a most peculiar weapon: a knuckleduster."

"Just when it looks like Adam will earn humankind the victory they long for, Zeus gathers his strength to ask Adam why he's really fighting."

"Zeus has transformed into his final most powerful form, but after the beating he's suffered, he may not last much longer in the fight."

"Humankind is desperate to win the next bout, but the god they're going up against is one of the mightiest of them all: Poseidon"

"Kojiro Sasaki uses his mighty Tsubame Gaeshi move to finish off Poseidon, but the god of the sea won't be sunk so easily."

"Through the power of Valkyrie Hrist, Kojiro's broken blade is transformed into dual swords, allowing him to tap into the depths of his inner strength."

"Despite Kojiro's Niten Ganryu duel blade method, Poseidon's powerful attacks continue to wear him down. But the battle isn't over yet."

"The gods have no intention of letting the humans win the next round; for their next fighter, they present none other than the great hero, Hercules."

"The spectators notice that the tattoos on Hercules have grown significantly — and if they continue to grow, the hero will suffer a painful death."

"In late 19th century London, the young son of a prostitute has a special ability that helps him survive the poverty he was born into."

"Although he’s lost his left arm, Hercules remains steadfast, easily summoning the strength to unleash his ultimate move: the Twelfth Labor."

"The brutal fourth round has pushed both fighters beyond their breaking point; when the winner is finally announced, there is no joy or celebration."

"To capitalize on humanity's momentum, Brünnhilde pays a visit to the colossal Tameemon Raiden, the most powerful sumo wrestler in history."

"Stepping into the sumo ring to take on Tameemon Raiden is the God of Destruction, the Destroyer himself: Supreme Lord Shiva."

"Years ago, Shiva spent many happy days with his best friend Rudra. Then one day, Rudra asks Shiva to join him on a journey to the top."

"As a child, Raiden had to suppress his full strength so he wouldn’t hurt other people. But now, to win this battle, he’s not holding anything back."

"The match comes to a moving end. Even Zeus is impressed by humanity's powerful spirit; but he's going to make sure the gods get the ultimate victory."

"With the scoreboard almost neck-and-neck, Buddha declares that he'll fight in the next round — but whose side will he be fighting on?"

"Struck by the amount of suffering humans must endure, Zerofuku decides to absorb all of their unhappiness, but it still isn't enough to end their pain."

"There was once a prince who was born into great wealth and given the very best of everything. But one day, he decides to leave it all behind."

"Nobody knows who the strange new creature is, but he's clearly very strong. And most worryingly, Buddha can't foresee his new opponent's next moves."

"It looks like the match is over. But then Buddha gets up, looking stronger than ever. Will he be able to gain another crucial point for the humans?"

"While humanity celebrates, the sixth round's result rattles the gods. Brunhilde and Hermes reflect on the previous battles and humanity's resilience."

"With the gods desperate for a win, Hades steps up to avenge his brother. Humanity sends Qin Shi Huang, setting the stage for a monumental clash of kings."

"After uniting China, Qin Shi Huang ascends Mount Tai alone to prove himself before the demon god Chi You. There, he masters the ultimate martial art."

"As a child, Qin Shi Huang's daily life is filled with hostility. Yet over time, he finds happiness in the close bond he forms with his strict caretaker."

"As the seventh round heats up, Hades gouges his own chest, humming as blood pours out and empowers his divine weapon with new strength."

"On the brink of death, Qin Shi Huang draws strength from Alvitr, unleashing the Force of the Phoenix again. Hades readies his spear for the final blow."

"For the eighth round, the gods choose Beelzebub, the god cursed by Satan. Though shunned by all, he once had three close friends who shaped his destiny."

"While struggling with Beelzebub's vibration-based powers, Tesla recognizes them as a form of science and counters with the full force of human ingenuity."

"Tesla traps Beelzebub in the Gematria Zone and unleashes the Tesla Step, but Beelzebub learns to nullify the onslaught. The gods expect victory, but..."

"Even after Beelzebub unleashes Helheim's forbidden technique, Tesla stands firm. As the battle peaks, he recalls childhood memories of his brother."

"Though battered, Tesla is relentless, pushing Beelzebub on the defensive and to his limits. The showdown between science versus myth reaches its climax."

"The gods' next fighter is Apollo, the radiant sun god. Representing humanity is King Leonidas of Sparta. As round nine begins, neither will back down."

"In the past, King Leonidas of Sparta defies Apollo's prophecies and goes to war. Now, with his pride on the line, he delivers a decisive strike at Apollo."

"Fueled by unyielding resolve, Leonidas slams Apollo down. As the bloodied god rises, most gods scorn his pride, but Zeus and Ares see the truth."

"Both fighters near death but stand tall, honoring each other's valor. Leonidas transforms his shield and advances as Apollo draws his mythical bow."
