Can't say I fully understand the Brunhilde - Loki interaction here. Why did Brun ask Loki specifically? And why did Loki accept?

 

[ReikoLupus]

SIMO HAIYA IS FINALLY HEEEEEEEEEEEERE!!!!
I'll be honest, I though he would be fighting Odin before we learned all teh story and how he's the REALLY Big Bad, and I don't see the author using a Sniper against the Big Bad, the fighter may end being Siegfried himself, and since I still think that Rasputin will be the one to fight Anubis...
...I wasn't sure of WHO would be the one fighting Loki.
I'm glad we got to see the White Death in action XD.
This will be quite the fight.

 

[llGotNothingll]

Almost night, a crimson horizon painting thousand lakes red
As your army approach from the east, a hunter is switching his prey
All alone, a man with his gun wanders into the wild
Tracks you down, you cannot hide once he is on to your trail

Enter the night, a flash in the darkness, White Death is heading your way
The fear of his foes, a hero at home, hundreds will fall by his gun

You’re in the sniper’s sight, the first kill tonight, time to die
You’re in the bullet’s way, the White Death’s prey, say goodbye

After the dawn when morning has broken, snow once white turned to red
Blood red snow tells what happened last night, a tale of a sniper is born
Snow in mouth hiding his breath, he is steady at hand
Eye to eye, target in sight, the moment to fire has come

Hundreds of kills. a man and his rifle embody the sisu of Finns
Stay out of sight and cover your head, when he pulls the trigger you’re dead

You’re in the sniper’s sight
SNIPER’S SIGHT!
You’re his first kill tonight
FIRST KILL TONIGHT!
Say goodbye, say goodbye
SAY GOODBYE!
Hundreds will fall by his gun

You’re in the sniper’s sight
SNIPER’S SIGHT!
You’re his first kill tonight
FIRST KILL TONIGHT!
Say goodbye, say goodbye
SAY GOODBYE!
White death is coming for you

Can't say I fully understand the Brunhilde - Loki interaction here. Why did Brun ask Loki specifically? And why did Loki accept?

I can only guess about it myself, but as I understand it, it was something like this:

Given how hard the situation currently is, the chances of Humanity winning are quite small for a very simple reason:
They CAN'T beat Odin.
So they have to win the other 2 fights, and for that, they need to be ABSOLUTELY SURE of who'll fight on each one.
Loki knew that, so when Brunhilde called for him, he thought that she may have given up, and was going to give up officially and beg Loki to at least spare her remaining sisters and herself.
Especially, since apparently they have history together, even if Brunhilde doesn't return his feelings, winning now would mean killing him, something that he didn't think Brunhildr would actually be willing to do.
When Brunhildr begs him to be the next combatant, that's completely thrown out the window.
Brunhildr is determined to win, and since they can't beat Odin, that means killing him, sending against him the only fighter that has an actual chance of doing it.
This moment probably hits Loki like a truck, since while he's used and maybe accepts that his beloved Brunhildr won't return his feelings, he was not expecting that she would actually want to kill him.
So, he hides his pain behind laughs and lies, while fulfilling the petition of the woman he loves and changing the roster to become the next fighter, and then going to his room to cry in solitude, trying to drown it in laughter before coming to the resolution that now, it's given Brunhildr's choice, one of them will have to die.
And he won't let himself be the one to die.

HYPE!

 

[shusi95]

A little sad that a sniping showdown between Apollo vs Simo Hayha didn’t happen let just see how this playout

TORILLE

[HORRIOR]

Well it is obvious Sakata Kintoki will be the one to defeat Odin, so the question remains.
Will Death be victorious twice or will Death be cheated twice?

 

[fumokaze]

I think we can all agree that it's gonna be tied up to the very last fight and then Siegfried will duke it out with Odin for the fate of humanity

 

[Weebskeuten]

The only person who could kill a god

A finnish person

 

[retrocognition]

I'm really hoping the author decides to include Simo's jaw disfigurement he received from an explosive bullet. Maybe its a detail that could appear in the later stages of his match with Loki when the match nears its end or he is heavily injured.

Spoiler: Disfigurement in question

[WonderingSFaiz]

SIMO HYPE SIMO HYPE

Honestly if there's anyone that can fake their death to fool the fight, it's probably Loki and well, Rasputin I guess

Yes Loki, you don't need to die, you just need to not die
