On the official website of the anime series Record of Ragnarok (Shuumatsu no Walküre), a second season was announced today. To celebrate this announcement, character designer Masaki Satou also drew and published an illustration (see attached).

The 12-episode first season of the anime, animated by Graphinica, was streamed worldwide exclusively on Netflix in June 2021.

Warner Bros. Japan describes the anime as follows:

7 million years of human civilization are coming to an end...

Every 1000 years, all the gods of the world gather in heaven to participate in the "Conference on the Survival of Humanity."

All the gods agree to bring about a final end to humanity due to their past foolishness, but before the final verdict is passed, Brunhild, the eldest of the 13 Valkyrie sisters, objects.

"To spice things up, why don't you test the humans?"

Her proposal was the final battle of God vs. Man, also known as "Ragnarök," in which all the gods of the world and the champions of all human history engage in one-on-one battles. The first team to win 7 out of 13 fights is the victor.

It seems almost impossible for humans to win against the gods.

Though the gods mock them, Brunhild continues to provoke;

"Are you scared?"

This gets on the gods' nerves, and they angrily accept her proposal.

Thus, Brunhild and her sisters must select 13 of the strongest fighters in human history.

Will humans surpass the gods and halt the final end?

The apocalyptic battles between heaven and earth finally begin!"
