Synopsis
The gods convene every thousand years to decide humanity's fate. This time, the unanimous vote is extinction. One Valkyrie proposes an alternative: let humanity have a chance. Ragnarok — 13 rounds of combat, Earth's greatest historical and mythological figures against the gods of every pantheon. Win 7 and humanity survives. Every fight is its own complete story, pairing fighters with absurdly creative matchups — Lubu vs. Thor, Poseidon vs. Sasaki Kojiro, Hercules vs. Jack the Ripper — each given a backstory that makes both combatants feel legitimately worth rooting for. Record of Ragnarok (Shuumatsu no Valkyrie, Shinya Umemura and Takumi Fukui) is ongoing in Monthly Comic Zenon. **Available through Netflix (anime adaptation, 2021–2023). The manga continues regularly.**
