What is the plot of Record of Ragnarok ?
According to IMDb, ‘Every 1000 years, the Gods’ Council assemble to decide the fate of humanity. After 7 million years of human history, the gods come to the decision that humans are irredeemable and must be extinct. However, the valkyrie Brunhild proposes that humanity must have one last chance to prove its worth. The gods agree on this and decide to hold the battle of Ragnarok, with 13 notable humans from across history against 13 of the most powerful gods engaging in duels to death. The competition takes place with the condition that if the human side wins 7 victories, humanity will be spared. Moreover, each human is granted the assistance of a valkyrie who transforms into a powerful weapon tailored for their combat style called “Volund”, at the risk of losing her life if the user is killed.
