Geek Native and more important sites got emails against the Record of Ragnarok. Why? The anime upset religious groups because it shows gods fighting people. Not exclusively “mythology gods”, but contemporary “religious gods”.
In the end, being sensitive to culture and faith, Netflix took the title from some regions, but here in the UK, we press on. Part two is due next year.
Yes, there are gods, but there’s also a lot of masculine power fantasy on display here with nearly naked (or Adam, the first man, naked) muscles battling equally ripped gods. Women too, but buxom beauties.
Is that it? Well, perhaps not. Chief buxom beauty is the head of the Valkyries who managed to convince the gods not to write off humanity as a failed experiment but to duel champions instead. There’s a plan. Can humanity win?
The new trailer for part two came with statements from director Masao Okubo.
Thank you for the wait, Record of Ragnarok Season 2! Real one-on-one fights between men in the heavenly realm, born from the causes and conflicts of their before lives! Confrontation in the night town of London. A battle of wills between men in the sumo ring. Friendship and trust born in battle The feelings of the friends who watch over them There is a lot to see in this season! Our staff is working hard to make it enjoyable for everyone!
There are some quirky choices for so-called champions of humanity in part two, and we’ll get battles between Hercules, Jack the Ripper, Raiden Tameemon, Shiva, and Buddha.
