Record of Ragnarok (2021) s01e03 Episode Script
Killer Move
We, the 11 Valkyries, have gathered here
at the order of our eldest sister,
Brünnhilde.
My sisters!
What is it you're planning, my sisters?
Brünnhilde.
Come hither, Randgriz.
Yes, Brünnhilde.
RANDGRIZ, FOURTH OF THE 13 VALKYRIE
Randgriz!
Randgriz, you know of
Thor's sacred items, do you not?
Yes, indeed I do.
The iron gloves which can fend off
any attack, Járngreipr.
And most importantly,
there is Mjölnir, which gained fame
for obliterating the Jötunn army.
That's right. Those two weapons
which Thor possesses
are the dirtiest cheats
of all the sacred items in the heavens.
"Dirtiest…"
In order to defeat Thor,
those must be overcome.
Randgriz, will you dedicate
your body for this purpose?
Yes, I gladly will, Brünnhilde.
What? "Dedicate your body"?
KILLER MOVE
What's going on?
Lü Bu's halberd has begun to glow!
Yes, just as I figured.
That weapon…
Could it be…
Interesting.
-Isn't that…
-You can't be serious!
That itself is the hidden power
of us Valkyrie.
To defeat the dirty cheats
the gods use for weapons,
we have our own cheat!
Transcendence!
When a Valkyrie's body transforms
into a weapon for humans,
mankind obtains a weapon of the gods,
in other words, a sacred item.
That ability is called…
Divine Treasure Forge!
Völundr!
An unbreakable foe
and an unbreakable weapon!
That kind of world…
is the greatest!
The special abilities of the 13 Valkyrie
dwell in the weapons made through Völundr.
The fourth sister is Randgriz.
The meaning of her name is…
"Shield Breaker"!
Mjölnir is a powerful weapon of the gods
that can crush continents.
However, anyone who wields
its immense power
and intense lava-like heat
will be annihilated.
Therefore, according to Edda,
the story of Norse mythology,
Thor wears Járngreipr
to protect his hands.
In other words,
the greatest armor
in the heavens, Járngreipr,
is used to handle the greatest weapon
in the heavens, Mjölnir.
This spectacle was something
that never should have happened.
Randgriz!
The sacred item was shattered?
Lü Bu's halberd shattered Járngreipr
into tiny bits
as if it were a potato chip!
-Excellent!
-All right!
Did you see that, you gods?
Lü Bu is the greatest
of our Three Kingdoms era!
I bet you're trembling in fear now!
Zhang Fei, this is nothing
for you to boast about.
At least, I'd like to say that.
But as one who knew him
and lived in the same era as him,
I cannot deny
that it brings me great honor.
-Huzzah!
-Huzzah!
-Huzzah!
-Huzzah!
-Huzzah!
-Huzzah!
-Huzzah!
-Huzzah!
-Huzzah!
-Huzzah!
-Huzzah!
-Huzzah!
Lord Lü Bu!
-Lord Lü Bu!
-Lord Lü Bu!
My lord!
You are magnificent!
My lord!
Well done!
You look like you're enjoying it so much!
I, Chen Gong,
am glad that I accompanied you to heaven!
Awesome!
That dude is totally badass!
This is incredible!
Damn, he's strong.
All of mankind trembled with anticipation.
Since history began… Nay!
Since the birth of primitive mankind,
they have anticipated the first time
they surpass the gods!
They anticipated a miracle!
I see.
So that's what it is.
Oh, you've caught on, haven't you?
The Valkyries' job is…
to guide souls to heaven.
They descend to Earth
and guide the souls
of the greatest humans to heaven
to be the soldiers of the gods
and protect the heavens from any crisis.
However, since ancient times,
there has been this rumor.
What the Valkyries are preparing for
is not a crisis in the heavens.
Though this is only a rumor,
it is said that the Valkyries
transform themselves into weapons
appropriate for the soldiers
that they guided to heaven.
They offer up their bodies and powers
which are equal to those of the gods.
The name of that power is…
Völundr!
The souls of the warriors
the Valkyries have gathered…
will battle the gods using the powers
they received from the Valkyries.
And that's what
this Ragnarok is all about, isn't it?
Yes!
That's exactly right!
It's those cunning vixens' rebellion
against us gods!
Who…
who would have thought those Valkyries
would seriously cross swords with us?
This is…
the biggest thrill I've had…
since the Big Bang!
I'm so turned on!
Yes!
Brünnhilde…
Brünnhilde!
Don't look this way, you dirty old geezer.
What the heck is that?
What happened?
Brünnhilde, what is that?
Is Mjölnir crumbling apart?
Oh, dear…
The orichalcum is melting
and turning into lava!
This is incredible!
It's just as searingly hot
as in the legends!
But why did this suddenly happen?
However, now that Thor has lost one of
the Járngreipr gloves like in the legends,
will he be able to wield Mjölnir
with both hands?
You mean he can't use the Thor Hammer?
You're kidding!
What's that sound?
Is it a drum?
No!
Unbelievable!
It's the throbbing of Mjölnir!
At last, you've awoken.
It's pulsating!
What is that? Some kind of living thing?
It's so weird! Yikes!
Looks like Mjölnir has finally woken up.
Woken up?
That's odd.
There is one misunderstanding about
the legend of Mjölnir and Járngreipr.
A misunderstanding?
Those gloves
are not to protect Thor
from the power of Mjölnir.
Then what are they for?
They exist to restrain Thor's power
to prevent him from crushing Mjölnir
before it awakens.
Such a sleepyhead.
He lifted it.
Amazing!
Wow!
Incredible!
Human… No. Lü Bu, was it?
I have a favor to ask you.
Don't die.
The human, Lü Bu,
has finally inspired Thor
to get totally serious!
How will this turn out?
This bout has now entered the red zone
where even the gods don't know
what the result will be!
Hey, Brünnhilde! That's against the rules!
You're supposed to turn off your phone!
Brünnhilde?
I know it now.
The list of all the competitors
in the final battle
between god and man, Ragnarok.
This… is it?
HEAVEN
ZEUS, BUDDHA, LOKI, APOLLO
POSEIDON, SUSANOO NO MIKOTO
QIN SHI HUANG, KING LEONIDAS, NIKOLA TESLA
KOJIRO SASAKI, JACK THE RIPPER, ADAM
HERCULES, THOR, VAIŚRAVAA, ANUBIS
ODIN, BEELZEBUB, SHIVA
These 13 bouts will decide everything.
This is the countdown
to the extermination of mankind.
For mankind,
these people are the final 13!
The final?
You're wrong, Göll.
One day, we warriors
are sure to be called…
the 13 god slayers!
The Einherjar!
The representatives of mankind…
Einherjar!
Zeus,
we now know who
the human combatants will be.
Really? Let me see that.
Well, well.
This is far more exciting
than I expected it would be.
Here it comes, folks!
In the first bout of the final battle
between god and man, Ragnarok,
on which the destruction of mankind rests,
the battle between the god of thunder,
Thor, and the warrior, Lü Bu,
has entered its final stage
now that Thor has shifted into high gear!
My lord!
Really? Thor's getting serious, isn't he?
I've never seen this before.
I haven't either.
The awakened Mjölnir,
swung with all of Thor's might.
It would be the first time
even the omniscient gods would see it.
Don't die.
According to Snorri's Edda
written by the Icelandic poet,
Snorri Sturluson,
Thor threw Mjölnir
and crushed the skulls
of the frost giants, the Jötunn.
Due to Mjölnir's mystical power,
it has never missed once in 100 throws.
I can't keep up with the action!
Lü Bu dodged the hammer that never misses
and is charging the defenseless Thor!
Wait! Mjölnir has returned!
It's attacking Lü Bu from behind!
The spinning attack of Mjölnir
was sidestepped with a spin!
Mjölnir is returning to Thor!
There is more to the Edda
than was recorded.
The true purpose that Thor threw Mjölnir
was not to attack with.
He would use the immense velocity
and centrifugal force
from throwing Mjölnir with all his might
to deliver the ultimate blow!
Lü Bu!
No! Is he…
Several thousand years ago
when he battled his archenemy Jörmungandr…
…it's the same attack he used
just once in that fight!
Geirröd Thor's Hammer!
When Thor displayed the finest smile
he'd shown in this bout,
Lü Bu met it with his most maniacal smile.
