Ragnarok S3: NEW TRAILER! Gods vs. Humanity!

Okay, so did you all see that new trailer for Record of Ragnarok Season 3? Because, seriously, I watched it this morning-coffee in hand, still half-asleep-and it instantly woke me up. Netflix dropped a fresh look at the upcoming season, and if you’re like me, someone who lives for epic showdowns and mythological weirdness, then you’re probably already counting down the days. I mean, come on, gods versus humanity in a deathmatch tournament? It really doesn’t get much more high-stakes than that, does it?

This anime, for those who might’ve been living under a rock or just, you know, not constantly refreshing their anime news feeds, is basically about Earth’s fate hanging by a thread. The gods are ready to wipe us out, and our only hope is a series of one-on-one fights where humanity’s greatest warriors-past and present, real and mythical-take on the most powerful divine beings across all pantheons. It’s bonkers. Absolutely bonkers, and I love every minute of it.

The new trailer, which just hit the internet (like, literally today, November 11th), not only cranks up the hype machine but also spills a few crucial details. We’re talking fresh faces, a killer new opening theme, and that all-important release date. Get ready, folks, because things are about to get even crazier.

The New Contenders and the Soundtrack of the Apocalypse

Every season of Record of Ragnarok is usually a spectacle of muscle, ancient powers, and philosophical debates about what it means to be strong, to be human, to be a god. This upcoming season is no different, but there’s a particular new character making waves. We’re finally getting Nostradamus, and he’s voiced by none other than Shun Horie. Now, if that name sounds familiar, it’s because Horie is also Kazuya from Rent-A-Girlfriend. Talk about range, right? From perpetually stressed college student to-what I’m assuming will be-some kind of prophetic powerhouse in a fight to the death. I’m actually really curious to see how they’re going to interpret Nostradamus; his predictions were always a bit… vague, but certainly dramatic.

New Blood and Battle Anthems

Bringing in Nostradamus is a pretty bold move. His reputation alone is legendary, shrouded in mystery and doomsday prophecies. How will that translate into a fighting style? Is he going to be a strategic genius? A direct combatant? Or maybe something entirely unexpected? The beauty of this series is how it reimagines these historical and mythical figures, giving them unique abilities and backstories within the tournament’s context. I mean, we’ve had Herculean strength, lightning speed, and even some pretty dark magic already. What’s a prophet bringing to the table?

• Character Reveal: Nostradamus, voiced by Shun Horie (Kazuya from Rent-A-Girlfriend).
• My Take: A prophetic fighter could be a game-changer; imagine dodging attacks because you already saw them coming.

And then there’s the music! You know a good anime opening can make or break the excitement, and this season’s got GLAY-a legendary Japanese rock band-on opening duty with their track “Dead or Alive.” Talk about setting the mood. GLAY usually delivers, and a title like that perfectly encapsulates the do-or-die spirit of Ragnarok. I’ve already got it on my playlist, just waiting for the visuals to drop and elevate it even further. It’s not just background noise; it’s the heartbeat of the show, especially when you’re watching two titans collide.

The Score So Far and the Deciding Bout

Here’s where it gets really interesting-and tense. According to the official synopsis, this new arc features the seventh combat. If you’ve been following along, you know the score right now is a nail-biting 3 to 3. That means this next fight isn’t just another match; it’s the tie-breaker. The moment of truth. Whoever wins this one pulls ahead, bringing their side one step closer to ultimate victory or utter annihilation, depending on which team you’re rooting for.

Tightening the Odds

Three wins for the gods, three for humanity. It’s perfectly balanced, as all things should be-or rather, as dramatic narratives demand. This kind of tension is what keeps me coming back. Every punch, every strategy, every emotional plea feels like it carries the weight of the world, because, well, it literally does. We’re talking about the existence of our entire species here. There are 13 duels in total, so we’re just over halfway, but this seventh match feels particularly pivotal. It’s the one that breaks the equilibrium, setting the stage for the final few rounds.

• Current Standings: Gods 3 – 3 Humanity.
• Significance: The next fight is the tie-breaker, pushing one side into the lead.

So, the pressure is immense. I mean, think about the fighters. Are they aware of this exact balance? Do they feel that extra pressure to secure a lead? And who are they even going to pit against each other? That’s always half the fun, trying to guess which god will face which human legend. The matchups are often so unexpected, yet strangely perfect.

The Countdown Is On!

The best part of all these revelations? The release date! Netflix has confirmed that Record of Ragnarok Season 3 will make its worldwide debut on December 10th. That’s, like, less than a month away! Just enough time to rewatch the first two seasons, refresh my memory on all the epic battles and philosophical musings, and maybe brush up on some world mythology. My December just got a whole lot more exciting, and probably a little less productive, let’s be honest.

Watching these trailers and getting these little tidbits always makes me wonder about the behind-the-scenes. The animators putting in all that work, the voice actors bringing these larger-than-life characters to… well, larger-than-life. It’s a massive undertaking, and it really shows in the sheer scale of the series. I’m just here for the ride, and it looks like it’s going to be another wild one. What about you? Who are you hoping to see fight? And which side are you actually rooting for, deep down?

December 10th. Mark your calendars. It’s going to be epic.
