Record of Ragnarok: The Apocalypse of the Gods

Honestly, as much as I love the main series, I really do think there's a lot of mythology outside the stuff everyone is familiar with, and there are some really cool characters mentioned so far that I think definitely deserved some spotlight. It is definitely more of a rule-of-cool series than a properly consequential one since the thirteenth contender is someone we've already seen in the main story, but I think it does have some redemption potential for said character and the fighter they competed against since their fight was so evenly matched we couldn't get a proper sense of their power levels. Regardless though, I'll be tuning in for every chapter just to get a bit more of this bonkers action.

!!CALLING IT NOW!!

Morigan and Cu Chulainn will fight in the semi finals. I think this because they've got history, people say Morigan is extremely beautiful, but when she tried to seduce Cu, she got rejected, so I think the creator will want to show that dynamic

So the List revealed in this manga is everyone except Zeus, making it 12 Fighters. Zeus was round 2, Buddha betrayed the Gods for Humanity, and Hades was subbed in to fight Qin.

1 Thor
2 Zeus
3 Poseidon
4 Heracles
5 Shiva
6 Bishamonten/Zerofuku/Hajun
7 Hades
8 Beezlebub
9 Apollo
10 Susanoo
11 Loki
12 Anubis
13 Odin
14 (Wild Card) Winner of the God v God Tournament

Contrast that to the Human Side

1 Lu Bu
2 Adam
3 Sasaki Kojiro
4 Jack the Ripper
5 Raiden
6 Buddha
7 Qin Shu Huang
8 Nikola Tesla
9 Leonidas
10 Okita
11 Sakata Kintoki
12 Simo Hayha
13 Rasputin
14 Nostradamus
15 (Wild Card) Siegfried.

Pretty much confirms we will go into Sudden Death in the Main Tournament due to a tie. If anything the Gods need to find another fighter ontop of the last one. Maybe a survivor from a Previous Round will move onto the Final Round.

Ok, neat to have some other gods from lesser known religions and folklore partake, but i'm not a fan of how they treat the female egyptian gods as some fawning servants, massive misogyny vibes from this.

I just checked the artist of both this and the original and there is no fucking way you are telling me the artists are different. The artstyle is exactly the same. Like it isn't even a good imitation the art style is EXACTLY the same.
