The new anime’s plotline
Warner Bros. Japan describes the Record of Ragnarok story as the nearing conclusion of the 7 million years of human civilization.
All the gods of the world gather in heaven to attend the Conference of Mankind Survival every 1000 years.
The gods decide to end humanity due to the foolish acts they make. However, before they come to the final verdict, Brunhild, the eldest of the 13 Valkyrie sisters, objects.
“To spice things up, why donʼt you test humans?” she said via Anime News Network.
She proposes to have a match between the gods and humanity, or also known as the Ragnarok.
Here, all the gods of the world and warriors of the entire human history will have a one-on-one battle.
The first team to win seven matches out of 13 will win the fight.
Though it’s pretty impossible for the humans to defeat the gods, Brunhild asks if the idea is “chickening them out.”
Insulted by her question, they accept her proposal, so she and her sisters have to choose the 13 strongest warriors in human history to face the gods.
The Record of Ragnarok is set to be out this 2021, though its official release date is yet to be revealed.
