Record of Ragnarok (2021) s01e12 Episode Script

You claim to be able to read
my every move?
Such arrogance.
Mankind believed they were on the verge
of achieving their first victory.
But their hopes were again dashed
by the power of this god.
What an incredibly swift strike!
Kojiro has been pierced
by the trident once again!
In response to
Kojiro Sasaki's novel Niten Ganryu,
Poseidon decided to skip the fancy tricks
and fight using straightforward attacks.
Senju Musou!
It's no good!
Even though I can see his attacks,
I can't avoid them!
Medusa Alope Demeter!
MEDUSA ALOPE DEMETER
There it is, folks,
a tempest of strikes like the flood that
swallowed up the earth in Noah's time!
He's instantly turned the tables!
Poseidon is moving so quickly,
the blur of his movements forms a dome!
Indeed.
And inside that dome
is a raging storm of strikes.
How unbelievably exciting.
You've got to be kidding me.
Just when I thought
I'd reached the bottom…
There's still farther to go.
This is a bit brutal.
Is this as far as I can go?
Well, losing is nothing new to me.
I'm used to it.
Kojiro!
Master!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
Kojiro!
Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
Wait…
What's this?
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Battle your way back, Kojiro!
-Time to show your true stuff, Sasaki!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Hang in there, Kojiro Sasaki!
-Kojiro!
-What the heck is all that?
-Kojiro!
-We are the quintessence of swordsmen!
-Time to show them what we're made of!
-Kojiro!
Those fools…
They're right!
This is no different than any other time.
Usually, this is where I would lose.
The men who lived by the sword
instinctively knew
that Kojiro Sasaki had
yet to show his true skills.
Just once is enough.
In equal amount to the pain
etched into his body…
Even just once is enough.
…and the blood that he had shed…
I too…
…Kojiro Sasaki…
would grow stronger!
I too…
want to win!
That was…
That was the moment that
the tip of mankind's sword
reached the very bottom
of the depths of the deep, dark ocean.
He reads all of creation,
not just the moves of his foe,
but also the flutters of the air
and the vibrations in the earth.
Every element of the cosmos told Kojiro
what the god would do.
Manju Musou!
Unbelievable!
The lightning-fast strikes of Poseidon
are being casually dodged
by injury-riddled Kojiro!
That human is able to read
every move Poseidon makes now!
Just how many thousands…
tens of thousands…
millions of moves ahead
is he able to predict?
At last.
I've made it this far, god.
Sasaki!
Go!
Swordsmen have always staked their lives
on their forged hunks of durable steel.
All these men
have shaped the history of the sword.
Thank you.
NITEN GANRYU OUGI
SOEN ZANKO BANJIN RYORAN
You…
You…
loser…
Phew! I won.
This feels pretty darn nice.
The victor of the third bout
in the final battle
between god and man, Ragnarok, is…
Kojiro Sasaki of mankind!
POSEIDON VS. KOJIRO SASAKI
TIME: 13 MINUTES, 7 SECONDS
WINNING ATTACK:
SOEN ZANKO BANJIN RYORAN
WINNER: KOJIRO SASAKI
A god has been defeated by a human.
In the face of this inconceivable reality…
THE GODS SIMPLY
Sat aghast in silence.
Who could have predicted
this would be how it ended?
At last,
in the third bout, mankind has wrested
a victory from the gods!
We did it!
We did it!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
-Kojiro!
What a racket.
Well, that was my first victory,
so I think I'll bask in the glory
a little while longer.
Kojiro!
This will wake up the gods.
This is the potential of mankind!
-Unbelievable!
-A god actually lost to a human?
No way.
Now…
this is no longer a joke.
What? So I walk back?
Well, it is better than rowing a boat.
This has definitely tapped my strength.
Kojiro, pull yourself together!
Are you all right?
Yes, drying pole lady.
Thanks for all the help you've given me.
Hrist!
Cut the fucking racket, you brat!
Didn't I tell you, Göll?
I swore I'd settle the score!
Yes, you did!
Thank goodness.
Hrist is just like she always is.
I'm so glad she's all right.
At last, mankind defeated the gods!
-No.
-What?
We still need six more victories.
Brünnhilde…
She truly does intend to defeat the gods.
ZEUS' ROOM
HERMES (GREEK)
ARES (GREEK)
ZEUS (GREEK)
So what are you lot doing here?
Quit acting dumb, you old man!
Even though your elder brother, Poseidon,
was slain, you sure are awfully calm.
Actually,
you look about a million years older
than just a little while ago.
That human was simply
more powerful than Poseidon.
That is all.
What's more, you all saw it,
so I think you understand
what exactly this fight is about.
Let us first recognize that…
mankind is strong.
It seems that vixen of a Valkyrie
truly intends to defeat us gods.
In that case,
we too must take it just as seriously.
Then that settles it.
I am next!
I'm ready to knock those miserable
lowlifes down a few pegs!
Well, actually…
What? Not another of your selfish demands!
Sorry…
for always being such a pain.
A debt is owed to us Greek gods,
so I plan on having
Greek gods pay mankind back.
Really?
Sheesh! You Greek gods
are totally hopeless.
The next bout is about to start,
so where did Brünnhilde get to?
Oh, there's Brünnhilde…
What? Hermes?
Brünnhilde,
what were you two talking about?
Nothing at all.
What? Hey! Wait up!
It's time for the fourth bout
in the final battle
between god and man, Ragnarok!
The gods have two wins!
Mankind has one win!
Now for the decisive battle
of the first stage of this fight!
Before us is a recreation
of 19th-century London, England.
Mankind's fighter requested
that the battle take place here,
which the gods' fighter
benevolently accepted.
Therefore, what will take place here
is the first ever street fight
of a god versus a human!
You mean,
the gods' fighter accepted a situation
that benefits mankind's fighter?
How come?
Who do those humans think they are?
We're just letting you get a handicap!
What kind of battle will be fought
in this arena of mankind's asking?
The fighter for mankind
in the fourth bout is this guy!
On Friday, August 31, 1888,
this beast suddenly appeared
out of the thick fog.
Were the victims of his sharp,
ripping claws five prostitutes?
No!
Was it human society?
No!
Instantly, the metropolis
of three million souls, London,
was thrust into the depths of fear!
The evilest of evil!
His heart filled with coal-black darkness,
the man is the most celebrated murderer
in mankind's history.
Jack the Ripper!
Jack the Ripper?
-You're kidding!
-Seriously?
Is that really him?
The perpetrator of history's
greatest criminal mystery is right here?
Wait a minute…
Why is mankind's fighter a murderer?
Oh, I see.
So that's how they're playing this.
As usual, she's up to dirty tricks.
Next, the gods have suffered
a humiliating loss to mankind,
ruining their perfect record.
The one aiming for revenge is this guy!
The valiant warrior
who pummeled into submission
the Nemean Lion
and Cerberus, the hound of hell!
When he completed the 12 labors,
he became half-god, half-man!
He is the envoy of justice
who shines light
upon all of heaven and earth!
An unrivaled, valiant warrior!
Hercules!
Hercules!
He's so studly!
You can do it, Hercules!
-Don't let that baddie beat you!
-You're our eternal hero!
You can do it!
Justice versus evil! Evil versus justice!
Has there ever been
such a clear-cut battle before?
It's about to begin!
Everyone, are you prepared for this?
The seven-million-year history
of mankind is about to end.
It is not due to a nuclear war
or an invasion by an alien race,
or even a collision with an asteroid.
Mankind now faces
its extinction, its end, at the hands of
none other than the creators
of mankind themselves, the gods!
Will mankind be victorious
in the final battle
between god and man, Ragnarok,
and attain the right to continue existing
for the next 1,000 years?
It's about to begin.
No matter what dirty tricks are necessary,
we will win.
I'll do it to allow mankind
to continue to exist.
It's the fourth bout in the final battle
between god and man, Ragnarok,
Hercules for the gods
versus Jack the Ripper for mankind!
Fight!
AND RAGNAROK GOES ON
