Record Of Ragnarok Discussion Thread #1

Fr dude is just a... dude

Literally. So far all the designs for the new fighters have been so bland, Ra and Prometheus are just some buff guys, Morigan looks like a genereic demon girl down to the hair, Wukong just looks ******* stupid. The only design that I kinda like even a little is Cu.

And they try so hard to make these mfs look tuff with the blacked out faces and the constant glazing from the narrator and it's just kinda cringe. Like when they called Ra the outer god and there was big text saying absolute I actually cringed so hard, like bro what did this man do to deserve the glaze.

I think I read somewhere that it's a different guy writing and drawing Apocalypse and that would explain a lot.

Indra is carrying the spin off

Honestly just from his appearance in Round 5 Indra has a better design and more aura than any fighter in Apocalypse

Wukong looks like your typical rich snobby manhua side character. I wouldn't mind a more human appearance of Wukong (which wouldn't be the first time) but at least give him some cool Chinese armor. Maybe he'll change his outfit for his fight.

I'm not sure if its the same artist as the main series but if it is I think the blackening is too much. Like I get it can be cool but its used for everything at this point.

This so much. Iirc in the main series the only characters that do the blackening thing are Poseidon as well as LuBu and Thor in their final clash and it makes them look menacing as hell because it is used so rarely

Spoiler

Prometheus likes Cú because he's a demigod, so he brought him to infirmary (Or at least his room). Cú responds by throwing a bed at him. Prometheus wants to win due to hating the gods, he has a special idea for the new bill to add to the constitution

just looks ******* stupid

Wukong might be the God I dislike the most out of all the shown Outer Gods, and he hasn't even done anything or fought. Just because of his design.

Fr you have Sun Wukong, someone famous for shapeshifting, the literal monkey king and you have him looking like reject from the 1970s. It's so stupid

 

[Giannysmag]

It's especially annoying because the main series has some goated designs and even the ones that look nothing like what you'd expect (Zeus, Raiden, Leo) still are super memorable and distinct

 

[azontr]

Tbh i dont really like the spin-off's art style to begin with, it's so rough and rigid. I don't think it's the same artist working on God's Apocalypse.

No, its an artist who is drawing a manga for the first time

The biggest thing to think about is like, what's the point of this series. None of these extra gods show up in the main story aside from Indra, and he originates from there anyways. And we know that Zeus is in the main tournament roster anyways, so we already know who wins unless one of the extra gods wanted something random like Indra wanting to allow smoking on the sidelines.

Yea it's a series that exists entirely for fan service and turn off your brain action but it's not even good at that because it's so boring

Idk why you guys surprised, Record of Ragnarok uses their own interpretation of the Gods and is loose with how they work.

Personally im betting this is just a casual form, and Wukong has an actual monkey form he'll use in his round. Hes obviously not gonna be as broken as the character actually is (Go to all the other wukong clones instead)

The problem isn't that it looks different from the myth Wukong, the problem is that it looks stupid

Personally think he looks fine but like, idk, maybe yall were expecting him to look like the common portrayal of Sun Wukong idk.

 

[CharlesZaGreat]

Originally I was think that this spin-off would build up to a potential 14th god fighter given its pacing and how both Okita and Susano'o were walking death flags, but since we didn't get the tie this round I'm honestly thinking we aren't getting it at all

 

[Darkmon_cns]

Watched and read up to the science versus devil fight, what's this apocalypse stuff?

Technically its Chiruran: Shinsengumi Requiem and the spin offs are:

Record of Ragnarok
The Legend of Lü Bu "The Flying General
Jack the Ripper Case Files
Gods' Apocalypse

 

[CharlesZaGreat]

While Shinsengumi Requiem came out first, Ragnarok is more popular and is what connects the whole franchise

I know the gods are more resilient but Ra is somehow still alive

Better looks at Zhuque and Mórrígan

Morrigan's gyatt me looking like

Morrigan's gyatt me looking like

She ain't do nothing but stand there my guy.

I'd like to think the scars on her body are from Cu considering she did fight and lose to him once. Plus looking at Ra it'd make sense.

Yeah, Okita's story never hit me and just always knew he was going to win, for thr story to continue Sussano was never allowed to win. I wantes him to win which is why I still hoped for a draw or something

 

[Jinx666]

Aight, ive made Ra's page, i'll make Cu's page across today and tomorrow to go with it too.

Lmk if theres any ability additions i missed while the page is still new so we dont have to make a whole thread abt it
