According to Polygon, this season spotlights Michel de Nostradame, voiced by Shun Horie (Kyotaro Ichikawa in The Dangers in My Heart). He is described as "the great prophet of the century, the only human ever cast into the underworld, observing Ragnarok from the sidelines as he awaits his moment to step into battle." Nostradamus’s enigmatic arrival is anticipated to bring a mental aspect to the game that is already a mess of emotions. Also, the trailer shows Siegfried and Kintoki, both hinted as unpredictable characters that might affect the fight between gods and mortals. In addition, the fight between Buddha and Odin implies that the divine rivalries threaten to become furious even outside the official arena.
Record of Ragnarok is about the heroic battle that determines the future of mankind, a contest between thirteen gods picked from different mythologies and thirteen of the most outstanding human figures from history. Every thousand years, the gods convene to determine whether humans deserve to continue existing. Outrage at human arrogance and greed, the majority of gods decide to wipe out humanity. However, among the thirteen Valkyries of Valhalla, Brunhilde is the only one who goes against the divine decree and suggests the Ragnarok, a last opportunity for the human race to be tested in single combats. In the case of a victory of humans in seven of the thirteen fights, they will be allowed to live another thousand years, whereas if not, their lives will be terminated eternally.
The third season is a continuation of the events after the second season and picks up the storyline with the score of 3:3 gods vs humans. The seventh round is going to be a decisive battle that will shatter the equilibrium that has characterized the war until now. Viewers are particularly enthusiastic to find out how the anime will visualize the methods and the deeply feelings that have been already shown in the manga. The artists Shinya Umemura and Takumi Fukui communicated their positive energy and thanks to the worldwide fan community and said that the next fights will be "a fiery recreation" of the manga's most intense moments."
While production, the series maintains a strong creative team that is always ready for the next challenge. The third season of the anime is a project of Yumeta Company and Maru Animation, the director is Koichi Hatsumi (Tokyo Revengers), the head writer is Yasuyuki Muto (Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash). The characters are designed by Youko Tanabe (Handyman Saitou in Another World) and Hisashi Kawashima (Pretty Rhythm: Aurora Dream), the music is composed by Yasuharu Takanashi (Naruto, Fairy Tail) who is back for this season. The production pledges to raise not only the standard of the art but also the emotional level to the previous seasons, thus the season will be filled with brilliant movements and a spectacular cinematic feel.
The new opening song titled "Dead or Alive," is performed by the legendary Japanese rock band GLAY. The band mentioned that the song is an impromptu from the anime's moral quandaries, "where the struggle of each character cannot be judged by simple ideas of justice." The ending theme, "Last Breath, Last Board," is a voice actress and singer Saori Hayami's performance which will be released digitally on December 10 together with the series."
With intensified plot, new mythological arcs, and polished animation, Record of Ragnarok Season 3 is becoming the most daring chapter ever. Apart from its savage fights, the series goes on to reveal mankind's inner urge to resist fate and dare the higher powers. While Netflix is gearing up for the worldwide premiere, fans should be expecting not only stunning fight sequences but also the emotional profundity that makes the distinction between gods and men vague. Thus, this season, for the devoted followers of the saga, is loaded with both revelations and reckonings, and possibly the most unforeseeable round of the whole tournament.
