While we’ve seen tournaments happen in the likes of Dragon Ball, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Baki, those fights have never reached literal god-tier levels of excitement. It’s this aspect that helps Record of Ragnarok be the exciting battle manga that it is. And now, standing before Lü Bu is that challenger, who realizes that he cannot hold back in this fight. This results in Lü Bu’s execution, as he hoped to meet a proper challenger in the next life. While Thor’s boredom resulted in the rescuing of Valhalla, Lü Bu’s boredom results in him realizing that no living person can take him on. One of those things that makes them formidable to one another is how boredom motivates them. As the two fight, it becomes clear how much in common they have with one another, in ways that would have made them friendly rivals if they lived in the same timeline. At first, Thor doesn’t take things seriously, until Lü Bu demonstrates the kind of strength he has. With protruding muscles and impressive weaponry, the two warriors face off against one another with the crowd gleefully watching. Record of Ragnarok sets the stage for what’s to come, as the Norse god Thor faces off against the Three Kingdoms’s Lü Bu. Angrily, the gods agree to the Ragnarok tournament, with thirteen gods facing off against thirteen powerful humans from history. The gods laugh at such an idea, until Brunhilde mocks their cowardly ways. Instead of merely wiping out all of existence, she suggests that the humans put up a fight in the circled arena. So why not have the strongest humans ever in the history of mankind be the ones to put up a fight? That, dear readers, is what Record of Ragnarok is all about!Īs the gods meet to vote on the fate of humanity, the valkyrie Brunhilde offers an interesting suggestion. Having humans fighting against gods in hand-to-hand combat is something that would be deemed laughable, as the deities could smite any person with the snap of their fingers. But in those stories, it’s normally earthly catastrophes that humans fight off against. The fate of humanity in the hands of gods has been played out in many forms of fiction and religious scripture. 5/10.MANGA REVIEW | "Record of Ragnarok" - Volume One Hope if they do a season 2, which they probably will, there would be a lot more actual fightings. Overall, a fun concept that I found some entertainment in, but the overload of narrations and reactions really dragged the pacing. The hip movements were so unrealistic and weird. However, some CGI scenes were noticeably bad, especially the one with the guy who played the violin. Every male character has crazy muscles, and some of the female characters looked excessively erotic.
As for animation, it was pretty okay for the most part. I did have some fun watching those two matches, but still the long narration delayed the excitement and thrill of these fights. The later two matches were better and had more actions. I got so dragged and bored at the excessive talking and reactions. But oh man, there were just so much narrations compared to actual fighting scenes. Coming in, I expected lots of fun actions, even though I was aware that there would be character flashbacks. Of course, the flashbacks were blown and exaggerated.
Each character had a flashback, and the flashback served to hype up the character, which is the usual stuff.

However, the interesting part of the series was that different gods and famous historical figures fought each other. If you like this kind of anime, you would probably enjoy this anime as it wasn't unique in its plot formula. There were only 3 matches out of the 13 in the first season, and each took about 4 episodes. The series is the typical fighting anime where characters spend 1000 years talking and having flashbacks before actually fighting for like 10 minutes. 13 Human and gods battled each other in the final battle of Ragnarok to determine if humanity will be destroyed by the gods.
