Synopsis
of Record of Ragnarok
The gods
of the world—from Greek to Norse and Hindu mythology—gather every thousand
years to make an important decision: whether or not to wipe out humanity.
Disgusted by humanity's selfishness, the council unanimously votes to destroy
all humans. But before the decree can be enacted, Brunhilde, one of the
thirteen Valkyries of Valhalla, interrupts the meeting to give humanity a
chance to survive.
Brunhilde
proposes the idea of enacting Ragnarök, an event in which the 13 strongest
mortal warriors fight against 13 gods in one-on-one combat. Though the ordeal
is ridiculed by the gods, the demigoddess takes advantage of their pride and
forces them to come to an agreement. However, Brunhilde herself must recruit
the mightiest heroes from across humanity's thousand-year history and guide
them to victory before they meet their untimely end.
