Originally, it was put in the Constitution of Valhalla as a divine jest, as none of the gods thought that humans would ever be able to fight them. In the anime, Ragnarok is a tournament between men and gods.

Most of the Norse gods, including Odin, Thor, Heimdallr, and Loki, are killed during this cataclysmic event. In Norse mythology, Ragnarok or RagnarР“В¶k represents the end of the old and the beginning of the new. So, he sends the greatest hero of Greek mythology to avenge his fallen brother. He just canРІР‚в„ўt accept that a God, a Greek one no less, would lose to a human. After the third fight and PoseidonРІР‚в„ўs death, Zeus again forces Shiva to concede his position in the tournament to another Greek deity, this time to Hercules. Ultimately, Zeus uses his final form, the Adamas, to defeat Adam by sheer endurance.

In match 2, Adam initially proves to be more than a match for even Zeus, who is arguably the most powerful of all gods. Shiva eventually agrees on the condition that Zeus will owe him a favor. Zeus threatens Shiva to concede the latterРІР‚в„ўs position to him. However, Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction, is supposed to take part in that round. After the end of match 1, Zeus decides that he will fight in match 2. Thor wins his fight against Lu Bu by smashing his opponentРІР‚в„ўs upper body with MjР“В¶lnir.

Record of Ragnarok Season 1 Ending: WhatРІР‚в„ўs the Current Score?Р”Р„t the end of the inaugural season, the score stands at 2-1 in favor of the gods. In the season 1 finale, Kojirou defeats Poseidon, winning humanityРІР‚в„ўs first match in the tournament. The third fight is fought between Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, and Kojirou Sasaki, the talented swordsman from the AzuchiРІР‚вЂњMomoyama and early Edo periods of Japan. The second match in the tournament is between Zeus and Adam, the First Man and the progenitor of all humanity. The first fight is between Thor, the Norse god of thunder, and Lu Bu, the legendary Flying General from the Three Kingdoms period of China. So, she plans to bond the human fighters with Valkyries so that the latter group will turn into weapons that can match the ones that the gods wield. Zeus, the Chairman of the Council, accepts it on behalf of all gods and charges the Valkyrie to find the 13 contestants who will represent humans in the coming tournament.Р”В«runhilde digs deep into world history to build the vanguard for humanity, but she is well aware that humans can never match the gods and their divine weapons no matter who they are. She appeals to the vanity and arrogance of the gods to get them to agree to her proposal. She then suggests that they should hold a tournament between the humans and their creators to see if the mortal beings are worthy of living for another 1,000 years. She accepts that the sins and atrocities of humans have been appalling but then declares that she finds the idea of simply exterminating the humans to be crude. However, Brunhilde, the 1st among the 13 Valkyrie sisters, steps forward and asks the gods to reconsider.

But when the gods assemble again, they unanimously decide to permanently end humanity for all their crimes against the world they reside in. Until the last Valhalla Council, the gods voted in favor of letting the humans live. Every 1000 years, the gods of various pantheons gather in the Council of Valhalla to decide the fate of humanity. But sometime along the way, they began to misuse the gifts that the gods gave them, abusing nature, polluting the world, and causing the extinction of numerous species. During this period, humans have grown strong, and their numbers have increased exponentially. Humanity has existed on Earth for 7 million years.
