About Record of Ragnarok II, Part 1

Record of Ragnarok II, Part 1 (Shuumatsu no Walküre II, Part 1) blends action, fantasy and seinen by Yumeta Company, Graphinica (2023). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The premise: In a shocking turn of events, humanity has won its first fight in the Ragnarök tournament—a series of 13 fights that will decide the fate of mankind. Zeus, the head of gods, sends the demigod Heracles for the next round to avenge the humiliated Greek pantheon.

From there, to face this hero loved by gods and humans alike, the Valkyrie Brunhilde chooses to use Heracles' complete moral opposite: the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper—leaving human beings unsure who they should support. Meanwhile, tensions begin to rise between various divine pantheons, and rumors of a traitor jeopardize the unity of those who want to annihilate humanity. As the line between companion and foe grows into blurred, Brunhilde will do everything she can to make her machinations successful.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
