Here is a quick character guide for the different representatives of the Gods and Humanity from Record of Ragnarok season 2.

Ragnarok has been enacted and Humanity must choose which of their 13 greatest warriors must face the Gods in a series of 1 vs 1 fights; with the fate of the entire species on the line.

However, with so many different characters to keep track of as we move from battle to battle, it can be quite confusing to remember where different warriors are from, and which side they fight for.

Here is a quick guide to the main characters from Record of Ragnarok season 2, which premiered around the world via Netflix on January 26.

Record of Ragnarok season 2 character guide:

Brunhilde

Brunhilde is the eldest of the 13 Valkyries of Valhalla and is the one who initially interrupted the meeting of the Gods to suggest enacting Ragnarok i.e., the 13 one vs one fights between deities and warriors.

Whilst Brunhilde is technically classed as a demi-God, she guides Humanity acting as their recruiter and negotiator with Zeus. She has a cold-hearted demeanor, but her passion to save humanity and embarrass the Gods is second-to-none.

Brunhilde is voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro (Japanese) and Laura Post (English).

“I thought she [Brunhilde] was a busy girl who changed her facial expressions rapidly, but this season there are scenes that give a quieter glimpse into the depths of her mind, and I am enjoying Hilde in a more three-dimensional way. I hope you are enjoying the new Valkyrie with her voice. I am not able to give an immediate answer to the question, “I like this character the best! I would be very grateful if you could continue to support us. Chikkira!” – Miyuki Sawashiro, via official website.

Goll

Goll is the youngest of the 13 Valkyries of Valhalla and acts as the assistant to Brunhilde in recruiting the greatest warriors from humanity to fight against the Gods, even though she shows no real interest in saving humanity.

Goll is an extremely anxious demi-god and constantly worries about humanity to the point of annoyance from her older sisters. Despite her confidence in Brunhilde’s warriors being incredibly low, she eventually comes to admire each character and the strength they show when facing unimaginable odds.

Goll is voiced by Tomoyo Kurosawa (Japanese) and Anairis Quinones (English).

“Goll is the youngest child who is shy, curious, and reckless. She always reacts honestly and loudly, which I think is both annoying and adorable! The second season is also full of unique gods and people who are fighting passionately, so Goll has done her best to shout a lot. I hope I was able to convey the excitement of the matches to you all!” – Tomoyo Kurosawa, via official website.

Jack The Ripper

Jack The Ripper is the representative of Humanity in round four of Ragnarok, fighting against Hercules. He is an infamous serial killer from 19th Century London and so has the disposition of a typical British gentleman; however, it doesn’t take much for his inner monster to be revealed to all.

Jack is one of the more interesting characters in Record of Ragnarok season 2 because he is the only representative to be viewed as a villain; with the humanity crowd supporters even doubting whether they should be cheering him on at first.

Jack The Ripper is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita (Japanese) and Jeff Leach (English)

“There are conflicting elements that I want both sides to win and to lose miserably. I have liked Jack the best since I read the manga, so I never thought I would be able to play him! That’s my impression.” – Tomokazu Sugita, via official website.

Hercules

Hercules (also referred to as Heracles) is the representative of the Gods in round four of Ragnarok, fighting against Jack The Ripper. He is the iconic Greek demi-god who completed the twelve Labors that included slaying the Nemean Lion, Nine-Headed Lernaean Hydra, and Ceryneian Hind.

Despite being a representative of the Gods, Hercules is sympathetic towards both Brunhilde and humanity; even being touted as the most righteous being in the universe, even amongst the Gods. Honor and dignity may be his forte, but Hercules remains one of the strongest beings to fight in Ragnarok.

Hercules is voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi (Japanese) and George Newbern (English).

“I originally read the original work, so I am very happy to be able to participate. It’s “God vs. mankind. It is clear that the gods are stronger than humans, but how will humans stand up to them? Can we fight them in the first place? I can’t stop being excited. Hercules is a demigod and a half-human. He is a representative of the gods, but he also loves humans. What does he see in this battle between gods and humans? How will he act? I hope you will see him from various angles.” – Katsuyuki Konishi, via official website.

Raiden Tameemon

Raiden Tameemon is the representative of Humanity in round five of Ragnarok, fighting against Shiva. He is known as ‘Peerless Rikishi’ and is the best sumo wrestler in Japanese history, with his muscles being considered to be amongst the densest in the world.

Raiden is an extremely lustful man who loses his cool when nearby any beautiful woman but at the same time, he claims to be completely serious about both combat and regarding any statement he makes.

Raiden Tameemon is voiced by Subaru Kimura (Japanese) and Michael Schwalbe (English).

“It’s just so powerful! I had an image of action entertainment with a magnificent worldview! As someone who loves the word “strongest,” it was a treat for me to play the role of Raiden Tameemon, who is said to be the “strongest sumo wrestler ever in history. I will do my best to live up to his name!” – Subaru Kimura, via official website.

Shiva

Shiva is the representative of the Gods in round five of Ragnarok, fighting against Raiden Tameemon. Shiva is the leader of the Hindu Pantheon and is one of the Chief Gods at the original meeting; his four muscular arm leads him to be known as the best grappler amongst the deities.

Whilst Shiva is initially carefree and proud of his position, but he shows himself to be arrogant and violent when things do not go his way. When in a fight, he is also known to smile throughout with Agni noting how he doesn’t know the true meaning of restraint.

Shiva is voiced by Tatsuo Suzuki (Japanese) and Sean Rohani (English).

“Since I was able to play the game, my understanding of him has deepened more than in the previous year. On top of that, when I combined the impression I got from the original work with the image I had developed in my own mind, I got a more single-minded and strong impression. I put all my accumulated feelings of “I want to fight” into each and every word of the character. I hope you enjoy my performance.” – Tatsuo Suzuki, via official website.

Buddha

Buddha is the representative of Humanity in round six of Ragnarok, fighting against Zerofuku. Despite being technically a representative of the Gods, Buddha opts to defect to join Brunhilde on humanity’s side after acknowledging that the annihilation of the entire population was unjust.

Buddha is easygoing and refuses to take anything that the Gods say seriously; even going as far as to ignore Loki outright when challenged. Whilst he is extroverted and arrogant (known as History’s Strongest Adolescent by Brunhilde), his incredible powers and strength are unmatched within the team.

Buddha is voiced by Yuichi Nakamura (Japanese) and Maaz Ali (English).

“Although it is a battle for the survival of the human race, it is not heavy-handed and is sublimated into each character’s own battle, so it is very easy to read and I was excited to see it. The character is quite aloof, and even when he gets serious, he seems to have a somewhat relaxed or calm spirit. I hope I was able to make the play with a good balance…I am looking forward to the delivery of the performance.” – Yuichi Nakamura, via official website.
