New Themes and Production Team Set the Stage
The third season will feature fresh musical themes to underscore its dramatic confrontations. The opening theme, “Dead Or Alive,” will be performed by the Japanese rock band GLAY. For the ending sequence, singer-songwriter Saori Hayami will perform “Last Breath, Last Record,” for which she also penned the lyrics, aiming to reflect the anime’s intricate worldview.
Behind the scenes, the production sees notable changes. Yumeta Company, which previously supported Season 1 and shared animation duties on Season 2, will now handle the animation in association with newcomer MARU Animation. Koichi Hatsumi (known for Tokyo Revengers) takes over as director, with Yasuyuki Mutō serving as the main writer. Character designs will be handled by Yōko Tanabe and Hisashi Kawashima, while Yasuharu Takanashi returns to compose the score, maintaining the series’ dynamic musical style. Notably, Graphinica, involved in earlier seasons, is no longer listed in the production credits.
The Continuing Saga of Gods vs. Humanity
Record of Ragnarok Season 3 will pick up the tournament where it left off, with the score tied at 3-3 between the gods and humanity. The season is expected to delve into the decisive seventh battle and will also feature the intense eighth and ninth rounds.
Key battles anticipated for this season include:
- Round 7: Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China, against Hades, Lord of the Underworld.
- Round 8: The brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla battles Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies.
- Round 9: The Spartan warrior King Leonidas faces off against the God of the Sun, Apollo.
The third season is predicted to have at least thirteen episodes, allowing ample time to explore these pivotal clashes and potentially delve into additional story developments and the hidden mysteries behind Ragnarok. Anime enthusiasts can prepare for a season filled with high-stakes conflicts and spectacular displays as the fate of humanity once again hangs in the balance.
