What happened to Record of Ragnarok Manga

The rules of Ragnarok

Ragnarok (神ＶＳ人類最終闘争ラグナロク, Ragunaroku) is mankind's final struggle against the Gods. Explained in the Valhalla Constitution, article No. 62, paragraph 15 of the super special clause, it is a series of one-on-one showdowns between the Gods and mankind.

The rules are quite simple. Each side picks thirteen fighters, who will fight one-on-one fights to the death and the winning side is the one that gets seven victories first.

If the Gods win the Ragnarok, Humanity's fate is sealed and it will be extinguished. However, if the Humans win, they will gain the right to live for another 1000 years.

As Ragnarok is a battle between souls, those who die in the fights have their souls destroyed and turned to ashes, being impossible to save or retrieve the soul, this impedes the reincarnation cycle, therefore, resulting in complete extinction.

The fights take place in the Valhalla Arena.

History

The original list of representatives of Humans and Gods

As the Gods were deciding on mankind's destruction, Brunhilde took the Humans' side and suggested the start of Ragnarok. All of the Gods rejected the idea until Brunhilde insulted their pride as they agreed. The mere suggestion that they feared direct conflict with mortals caused such anger among the Gods that they decided to accept Brunhilde's proposition, if only to put her in her place. Thus began Ragnarok, the final confrontation between Man and God.

Loopholes

As the super special clause was originally added as a joke in the Valhalla Constitution and never meant to be taken seriously, it created loopholes that both teams took advantage of:

• While it's stated that only the fighters and the commentartor can enter the arena, if a new entity appears but it's considered part of the original fighter's body, a long time animal companion for example, it can be allowed to stay and even assist the fighter.[1][2][3]
• The teams can switch out their representatives for another, even at the last minute before a round begins.[4]
• It's possible for a team to know which fighter the other team picked before announcing their own.[5][6][7]
• There is no restriction on which species should the participants be. Meaning Gods can fight for Humanity[8], or Demigods[6] and Demons[3] for the Gods.
• A fighter can switch teams should he wants to.[8]
• A fighter can fight more than once.[9]
• Should anything happen to a fighter prior to their fight, their team is allowed to have a replacement.[10]

Trivia

• In Norse mythology, Ragnarök is a series of events, including a great battle, foretold to lead to the death of a number of great figures (including the gods Odin, Thor, Týr, Freyr, Heimdallr, and Loki), natural disasters and the submersion of the world in water. After these events, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and returning gods will meet and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors. Ragnarök is an important event in Norse mythology and has been the subject of scholarly discourse and theory in the history of Germanic studies.
