Record of Ragnarok - Ch. 80 - Phoebus Apollo

[Thoshy]

I hope something actually surprising comes along sometime during this fight. Not gonna lie, I'm not very sold on these two.

 

[Scrabbleman]

Huh, surprisingly one-sided. Ngl but Apollo is skilled as hell and Leonidas is letting his rage get the better of him.

 

[Specs23]

something about this fight feels incredibly unserious, and all of it is coming from leondias

 

[Adrian_V]

Sooo where did the boxing god thing come from? If anything i think he was the god of archers or chariots.

 

[HDMI1]

Threads of Artemis? I wonder if that has any relation to his sister, Artemis.

It was originally created for him to make a Real Doll of his sister at anytime he wanted, but then she found out about it. /jk

God of BOXING seriously?

If Leonidas is channeling Kratos, then Apollo is channeling Apollo Creed from the Rocky series.

When are we getting a sparta kick?

If you hadn't said you were joking, I would have totally believed you considering that Greek Mythology is all kinds of weird.

 

[Tahuantinsuyo]

Can't believe Leonidas is fighting with a fucking yoyo

Having gods fuck their sisters is more the rule than the exception. If anything Greek Mythology is weird for the number of 'Eternal Virgin' Goddesses (like Artemis) it had.

OMG that could be right, because i see no other relation between Apollo and boxing, not even hand to hand combat

 

[CT-9904]

Isn't Artemis the name of your twin? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?

 

[MilkDrinker]

Great fight. Keep it up, series. I've grown to like both combatants, though I guess I like FAAAABULOUS Boxing God a little better.

 

[Werebearguy]

Normally, this is a red flag for villains. I sure hope it stays that way.

Now I really like Apollo as a character (totally unlike the Apollo of Lore Olympus, who's a rapist). The way he basically feels a Responsibility to Be Beautiful is interesting. Like, a few lines in this chapter practically put him under everyone else, because he has this duty to meet their expectations of beauty. I mean, he says it wouldn't be beautiful to be humble, but he's not out there just incarnating his own idea of beauty and not caring what others think, he's out there trying to basically please everybody (given that he gets affected by the humans saying that his evasion isn't beautiful because it's cowardly). (I guess it's arrogant to think that he CAN please everybody, but he WAS born into a station that put this expectation on him and gave him enough exceptionality to be able to shoot for it.)

Also I like that they made him great at boxing given that greek lore-wise he invented boxing.

Probably an underrated sentiment, but same I do also like Apollo in the context that we have right now but with how it goes with manga, the author probably feel the need to give Apollo a twisted alter self which is super evil and cowardly or some other type which make him ireedimable bc beauty is overrated in this type of action manga.

I would've want Apollo to win but with how it goes Leonidas is probably fated to win, but I really hope the author doesn't make Apollo straight up evil and rather teach Leonidas a sense of nobility well that's my hope but its' probably beauty bad and weak, rough and tough good strong.

 

[BobBob]

Damn, Leonidas got socked right in the stogie. Hopefully he switches up his weapon soon; the yo-yoing's getting old.

 

[trenslime]

God of boxing creates perfect line up for in-fighting

Everyone : why would he handicap himself 🥴

 

[Wachtail]

Now Leonidas just has to punch his dick a couple times, and humanity's side is golden.
Thanks for the update!

I know that he and Artemis were credited with creating archery, but what myth gave him the credit for boxing?
