Record of Ragnarok: The Ultimate Clash Between Gods and Humanity

A Battle for Humanity’s Survival

Record of Ragnarok (Shūmatsu no Valkyrie) is a high-octane anime and manga series that redefines mythology and history, bringing legendary warriors face-to-face with divine gods. With each battle, humanity inches closer to survival—or extinction. Written by Shinya Umemura and Takumi Fukui, and illustrated by Ajichika, the series captivates fans with its intense fights, deep character backstories, and epic reimaginings of historical figures.

The Tournament That Decides Humanity’s Fate

Every 1,000 years, the gods convene to determine if humanity should continue to exist. This time, the verdict is grim—extinction. But Brunhilde, the fearless Valkyrie, challenges the gods to Ragnarok—a 13-round battle where humanity’s strongest warriors fight against the mightiest deities. If humanity wins at least seven battles, they will be spared.

Valkyries and Their Divine Weapons: The Power of Volundr

Each human warrior is paired with a Valkyrie, who sacrifices herself to transform into a Volundr—a divine weapon infused with the fighter’s soul. These weapons are humanity’s only chance to match the gods in combat. The Volundr adapts to the warrior’s fighting style, granting them unparalleled power against divine beings.
