Season 2 part 1 recap
Record of Ragnarok season 2 part 1 consisted of 10 episodes overall. The anime was released on Netflix in January 2023. Across these ten episodes, fans saw two massive fights between the gods and humanity take place. These fights consisted of Hercules, the Greek Hero of Legend versus Jack the Ripper, a notorious British serial killer, and Tameemon Raiden, the infamous sumo wrestler versus Shiva, the Hindu God of Destruction.
Humanity triumphed in Jack the Ripper's fight against Hercules, but Raiden Tameemon was defeated by the ferocious Shiva. Despite coming off of a win, the leader of the gods Zeus asked Buddha to fight in the next battle for them to squash humanity’s hopes with two back-to-back wins. While Buddha initially agreed, the second season’s first part ended with Buddha instead choosing to fight for humanity’s sake.
What to expect (speculative)
Based on key visuals and cast announcements thus far, it seems as though Record of Ragnarok season 2 part 2 will see Buddha face two different forms of the same opponent. The two characters highlighted in key visuals and cast announcements, Zerofuku and Hajun, have striking similarities in terms of outfit, build, and overall character design. While still speculative, it seems almost certain to be the case once Buddha’s fight begins.
Record of Ragnarok season 2 part 2 will also seemingly devote time to introducing additional combatants for the gods. Known eventual combatants Hades and Loki are set to debut, voiced by Ryotaro Okiayu and Daisuke Namikawa, respectively, per recent cast announcements. Similarly, this would indicate Netflix's intention to bring the series back for a third season, suggesting that Buddha's fight is far from over.
