Your analysis of Round 7 actually made me think about it more. I was always of the thought that Hades' brotherly side was focused on more than anything to do with his kingship, and that he didn't provide a metaphorical challenge to Qin. But I think with your explanation I have figured out why Hades is a foil to Qin. It's because he didn't have anyone to tell him he was allowed to act on his own desires. Qin had Chun Yan to tell him that it wasn't always about the people, a king was not bound by his people and the ones he had to protect. The king makes the decisions best fit for the people, but at times he has to make decisions that come from his own desire, one that temporarily may not align with others, but it does benefit them in the long run. Qin pulling out his sword instead of using his martial arts was initially assumed to be a bad idea. Why switch to offense when Hades easily outmatches him? After he lost his arm, everyone lost hope. Alvitr told him he could do no more, and they'd lost. But only he had the conviction. The king had the conviction, and as such his subjects gain the conviction. He alone knew what he had to do, and whether his people liked it or not, he had to do it. He was acting on his own self interest yes, but the true strength of the king is doing what you want to do *to* benefit others. Meanwhile, Hades had a burden he imposed on himself. He had to represent the gods, he had to uphold their dignity no matter what. He was the elder brother, he was the king, he was not *allowed* to lose. He was not supposed to act on his own self interest, because he thought his job as the elder brother was to protect his siblings. He joined Ragnarok not because he himself wanted to (seeing as he wasn't on the roster originally, meaning he likely didn't care for it), but because it was his job as the eldest to avenge his siblings. While Hades and Qin enter the round shackled by their duty, only Qin is able to find is own conviction, whereas Hades never realises he should've done what *he* wanted, not what was expected of him given his position. He sacrificed his own body for the sake of others, yet neglecting himself was his downfall. The burden of reliance was one he could not break free of, whereas Qin was able to break free of his burden yet still fight to protect. It makes his interactions with Beelzebub intriguing too, because despite Beelzebub *wanting* himself dead, Hades told him that isn't what was expected of him. The burden Lilith placed on Beel to live was more important than what he himself wanted. Which further adds onto that philosophy of his. While in this case it was the right thing to do, Hades never made it easy for Beel to die. He gave him a weapon powerful enough to greatly amplify his power and he banned him from using a move that caused damage to himself.

Same I didn't care for Zero's character design but I do indeed enjoy him as an overall character! I'm not really into the RoR community, so I was unaware of the hate Zero receives & I dislike that very much! Again I didn't like his character design, but Zero has a lot of depth to him &!his character grew on me & is one of my favorite from the series. Top 5 RoR Characters: 1) Humans Valkyrie Rep. 2) Jack The Ripper 3) Hercules 4) Buddha 5) Zero I believe this is my list but I'm going to go review a few things & so if my comment is edited it was due to me 1) figuring out Valkyrie Name, 2) on deeper analysis something stood out that made me change my mind, as my list came off the top of my head and I've only made it through the Buddha fight via anime. I just found out today in this video that RoR manga exist. As I said in an earlier comment I thought it was a Netflix Original Series/Anime.

First of all I wanted to say that this video was excellent. ROR is currently one of my favorite series atm and seeing someone finally do a deeper video essay was incredible, especially one as put together as yours Your analysis of round 5 was incredible, I couldn’t find a single thing about it to disagree with or contest. Your really captured and understood that round, even to a degree that I couldn’t. You opened my eyes to aspects of that round (mind you that I already enjoyed) and furthered it to new heights. Thank you. Your round 6 analysis was spot on. Many people hate in zero, but he is by far one of the most interesting and tragic. Finally he is able to attain happiness and it’s robbed from him. Excellent job, but I believe you failed to mention how Hajuns misfortune caused him to die in the first place, before finding the perfect soil. Now that he has it he thinks he’s perfect, only for Buddhas ideology to inherently disagree and oppose it Now Round 7 has to be the worst round in ROT imo. Not because I hate Qin, I think he’s great, but because Qin IS the round. Everything you said about Hades could only be attained by funneling through Qin. Qin was the end all be all in that round, which made for a very one sided round narratively speaking. Hades, being such a fascinating character when he was introduced, was made into nothing more than a jobber to agree with Qin. Having that type of one sided fight was really disappointing and made the writing and meaning of the round all the less effective as a result. Round 8. Here is where we fundamentally disagree with one another. I think Round 8 is AMONG the worst rounds. Bottom 3, maybe bottom 2. All of it had to do with Beelzebub. Not mad or angry Tesla lost, he kinda had to for the score, I’m upset at how awfully written Beelzebub is. Like you said he is a contradicting character…but …that’s bad. Having a contradicting character in writing is a bad thing. It doesn’t make the character compelling or good, it makes you scratch your head and wonder if you missed something. “He’s supposed to be contradicting” is a sorry excuse for bad writing. You spoke about trust and that’s why he beat Tesla, but his story was never about trust, he was never betrayed, his trust was never broken. So him “trusting” someone wasn’t even close to resolving or developing his character. His conclusion that’s the gods and humans are similar felt extremely unearned. Again, his story wasn’t about how different we are or how superior the gods are, so him coming yo that conclusion came out of nowhere and was unsatisfactory. Lastly, Satan is still in Beelzebub… now that he’s won literally nothing changes for him. The status quo is sustained. Now he goes back to killing his loved ones and doing evil shit. While Round 8 paused his desire to die ( which is dumb and doesn’t make sense) it did nothing to solve it. He learned nothing from Tesla, and is unable to grow from his round.

Жыл бұрын

Thanks glad you enjoyed the video, and yes that’s a great point for Round 6 For Round 7 I really don’t think I did the round justice in the video and didn’t really get my point across at all, the big difference between the 2 is the ability to pursue their own desires, Hades was a slave to his duty as a big brother everything he did was in sake of that duty, he didn’t enter Ragnarok because he wanted to he did so because he had to avenge his bothers death, everything he does is due to his duty, he is reserved because he himself doesn’t have strong desires, Qin on the other hand is prideful and loud, the road is where I walk, the throne is where I sit etc, he has what Hades lacks the ability to pursue his own desires, his decision to do so is what wins him the match, so the way the two are presented is although a metaphor for their respective personalities, Qin is loud and the centre of attention because he had the drive to be selfish to go beyond his duty, but Hades isn’t able to do that because aside from his duty he doesn’t have much to him, the way the story focuses on Qin is a direct way of showing Hades flaws, or at least that’s how I’ve seen it, And for round 8, yeah I can understand why people don’t like Beezelbub, personally I quite like him and to me his inner conflict is realistic but obviously a lot of people don’t share that sentiment and of course that’s fine, Beelzebub always trusted in his friends not die and so when they did he felt hurt, it’s why he holds trust so close to his heart, so again to me I feel him learning to trust again is somewhat earned but of course we can all think differently, Thanks for such a well written and thought provoking comment

Looking at the complicated history of science and the church, a common pattern is science striving forward while the church presents a seemingly impenetrable defense, much like how you describe the fighting styles presented by Tesla and Beelzebub.

This is not the round 9 anyone expected and I’m here for it, don’t think anyone expected the great Spartan King to be like this, but I love it

Buddha VS Zerofuku was always my favorite fight, and I really loved your analysis! Aside from the theme of misfortune, I think that another thing that makes it so special is the fact that it's not just Zero who develops as a character during the fight, but also Buddha, though maybe it's less apparent. Buddha is presented from the start as the Enlighted One, someone who has already reached peak happiness and who, from our perspective, couldn't become better than this. He can perfectly control his emotions and actions, to the point that it looks to us like no one could ever be a real challenge for him, which is proved by his fight with Zero, where he doesn't lose his cool or gets scared once despite him being incredibly strong. However, when fighting Hajun things get hard for him, and eventually he has to go back, after his whole afterlife, to letting his anger and strong emotions flow. This is also symbolized visually by him losing his glasses, which were probably the part of his character design that made him look the most "cool" and strong tempered. By this moment not only has he met someone whose soul he can't read, he has also lost the first friend he found after a whole life of walking alone. And by the end of the fight, he finds that friend again, fully learning that an Enlightend life doesn't necessarily have to be a lonely one. This fight was actually able to give an amazing character development to someone who already seemed fully developed, and that's why I believe it to be the absolute best in the whole series by now. Edit: I just realized that, but I wanted to also point out that as Buddha develops during the fight, he also starts to look a little more like Zerofuku, with his shirt missing and his hair untied. There is a specific page where his body and Zero's spirit overlap and it's very clear. I would guess that it symbolizes that he himself, by accepting Zero's love and seeing him as a friend (also expressed by the final change to the "rhino horn" quote), has become a little more like him. He doesn't see Zero as one of his followers, like with everyone else, but as a true companion. (P.s. Everything I wrote was just a personal opinion, if anyone were to disagree with me or add anything I would love to hear about it)

Record of Ragnarok shows our limitations and differences but like you said it hits close to home

The funny thing about the shiva fight, us he was origionally supposed to fight Adam. It would be interesting to see how different the fights would be if zeus hadnt decided to switch things up.

I like how almost if not all of this manga and anime fights show that other the gods can be worse then us or just like us.

To me it looks like the series is eluding to the Gods winning the tournament, they will let humanity live as a result of their newfound respect for them

I Don't think I recall Beezlebub saying he gave up on dying. He still wants to fie a bad desth but he judt wanted Humanity to die first

Not gonna talk about Hades' 'Gift' to Beelzebub in the middle of the battle

Great video! I’m honestly convinced that any character that uses a spear or other polearm will inevitably lose though.

Thumbnail: OKAY I'll finish Danganronpa V3 already! XD

Can’t believe they turned Danganronpa into a RoR fight

But what do you mean by "trust him"? What did beelzebub trust tesla with?

Any single being is the one who is all just as all beings are the many who are one

What you said about happiness being good luck and unhappiness being bad luck made me feel understandable because I've felt some negative emotions and that I should be positive and learn to love myself So should others too if they're going through it

Humanity Will Survive. They have something the gods don't understand. Mortality. They do not possess from birth the power and knowledge that could help them. They gained everything through suffering and learning about the world in their own way.

NOOOOOOO! Tesla the absolute damn chad died:(

Nikolai tesla made jesus cry😢

What exactly about tesla did he trust

@s.m.g.2391

Жыл бұрын

Belzebub trust that Tesla is a brilliant mind and won’t try to brute force to the fight without a plan, so he anticipates that his opponent have something up his sleeve. And it allow him to quickly counter “Plasma Pulse Punch Cross” because that’s when Tesla have to drop his defense for an absolute offense.

Now Hiw will Leonidas vs Apollo woill be is it about Laziness and Hard work.

@SephTheSin

Жыл бұрын

It’s hard to say yet it wouldn’t surprise me if beauty plays into it like how Apollo only fights with grace but Leonidas will do anything no matter how dirty, Apollo seems to idolise the glory of death at least he did with his fellow Greeks so maybe he sees death as this grand and symbolic event (bit like Kaido from one piece) whereas Leonidas a man who seems to be an expert in all warfare will kill with any and all means at his disposal regardless of honour or beauty (might be why he attacked instantly before the match started) but really hard to tell just yet

@@SephTheSin Yeah and to be honest His Sheild Only makes sense. Because if he had the standard Spartan Spear and Sheild it will be redundant Lubu Already had a Pole arm, Posiedon has his Trident, and Hades has his Bident turned Spear. Which all do the same they thrust to stab.

I know this is two months late but what you said in the ending hit me, because I both agree and disagree. You said tho we will lose in the moment but win in the end, but i sorta disagree. I think we will lose Ragnarok in the end. The gods will win in the last seventh fight but choose not to destroy humanity. Because throughout the whole event humanity proves itself worthy of existing, of living on. Instead the gods will become closer to humanity interacting with them more. In fact it be cool if Ragnarok become a regular event, where humanity isn't on the line, but a friendly competition in honor of the first Ragnarok and it's completers.

Oh I so agree humanity losing would be amazing and I agree a way better pay off to the humbling of the gods across the series, I just don’t want to get my hopes up as in terms of the plot itself the writing in this series is very by the books and I can kind of just see the ending being as simple as humanity just winning, but yes it would be a lot cooler
