In fact, not even Hajun himself is exactly aware of his true identity, proceeding to fight Buddha to understand it.

This however ends biting him in the ass while facing an opoonent like Buddha, who not only can predict his wild attacks, but also has the means to counter them. As a result, he never manages to land a hit on Buddha until the very end.

[[folder:In General]]
* AdaptationDeviation: Like what happens with the Einherjar, the Gods of the setting belong to various myths, legends, and religions, so the manga changes their backstories so they all of them can be allowed to exist in [[AllMythsAreTrue the same world]].
* AnyoneCanDie: Like their human opponents, if they die in the tournament, they are done for and will die for good. Initially, they didn't believe that something like that could happen to them, but once [[spoiler:Poseidon gets killed in his fight, they begin to realize that things are not going to be as easy as they looked at first.]]
* HeroKiller: As they can back up the might attributed to them in myths and legends, their power and abilities shouldn't be underestimated by any means, making them a true danger for the Einherjar. Even when they end losing, they still manage to force their human rivals to give everything they have in order to defeat them. So far in the tournament, [[spoiler:Thor, Zeus and Shiva have managed to succesfully kill their opponents.]]
* JerkassGods: With the exception of [[TokenGoodTeammate Heracles]], the Gods are portrayed as an unpleasant bunch of assholes who only see the humans as their plaything and don't have any problems in exterminating them for the most insignificant reason. Their jerk level ranges from Thor, who just cares about having a good fight, to Poseidon, who views humans as nothing but [[HumansAreInsects insects]].
* ShroudedInMyth: There are certain parts in the myths that can be somewhat misleading about them, which doesn't bore well for Brunhilde's attempts to get the advantage.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: The entire reason the gods agreed to the tournament was because they figured they’d easily wipe the floor with humanity as one last humiliation. However, Zeus actually struggling against Adam followed by [[spoiler: losing both Poseidon and Heracles]] serves as a wake-up call, forcing them to admit that humanity won’t be going down without a fight.
* UnskilledButStrong: Not [[DownplayedTrope really]] [[StrongAndSkilled per se]], but when it comes to fighting against their lesser opponents, the heavenly fighters tend to overestimate their advantage in the tournament until [[spoiler:the death of Poseidon]].

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thor_record_of_ragnarok.png]][[caption-width-right:300:''The God of Thunder'']]
The Nordic God of Thunder, who's also regarded as the strongest Nordic God. Though stoic and serious at first, he's in truth a battle maniac wishing for a good fight, as his overwhelming power usually kills his enemies easily. Among the Gods, he's the first one to fight in Ragnarok.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Thank [[{{Pun}} god]] it's not his '''hair''' this time, but his eyes are golden rather than blue, along with his sclera being black.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Unlike the Norse depictions of Thor with both a BeardOfBarbarism and BarbarianLonghair, this one is portrayed as [[LongHairedPrettyBoy beautiful young man with long flowing hair]]
* AdaptationalBadass: In the original Norse myths, Thor needed the aid of Megingjörð and Járngreipr to double his physical strength and provide protection from wielding the incredible might of Mjolnir and died against Jörmungandr in a MutualKill. Here, he needed Járngreipr to '''restrain''' his own power so Mjolnir doesn't get destroyed prior to its awakening and easily flattened the World Serpent with one move ''prior'' to Ragnarok.
* AdaptationalLateAppearance: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Since the tournament starts as soon as Zeus approves it, his first scene (where he kills Incubus) is removed, instead debuting when Heimdall announces Ragnarok.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He won't speak more than a few words, and will kill you if he finds you inconvenient.
* {{Bishonen}}: He definitely looks much younger and more beautiful compare to the Norse myths.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Is depicted with golden eyes and black sclera, probably to show that he's a supernatural being.
* BloodKnight: Like Lü Bu, he likes to fight.
* TheCameo: During the battle of Lü Bu against Sun Jian in the former's spin-off, the narration briefly shows images of Thor and Lü Bu about to clash during the first round of Ragnarok, mentioning that by that time, Lü Bu had managed to succesfully complete his Sky Eater technique, who was still incompleted during his fight against Sun Jian.
* CombinationAttack: In his last technique against Lü Bu, he combines his two strongest techniques into one ultimate move called, "Geirröd Thor's Hammer".
* CommutingOnABus: [[spoiler:Thor, for the most part, had only made passing appearances after his battle with Lu Bu, one after Poseidon's defeat, and another with Buddha's defection to humanity.]]
* CurbStompBattle: He killed 66 Jötunn with ease in the Ancient Era, and later against the World Serpent.
* DidntSeeThatComing: He was definitely surprised when Lü Bu not only manages to react and block against his first technique but also ''injured'' him as well.
* TheDreaded: Being the strongest of the Nordic gods, almost everyone is intimidated by Thor's presence, with Göll nearly wetting herself and Brunhilde quickly bowing before him while having trouble keeping her composure.
* DropTheHammer: Well, ''[[UrExample duh]]''. {{Mjolnir}} is easily twice its wielder's size but still retains a normal hammer's proportions. There's a handle built ''into'' the handle just so Thor's hands can have a firm grasp on it.
* EvilRedhead: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Thor is an antagonist, but he's more uncaring rather than outright evil.
* FastAsLightning: Being the God of Thunder, Thor is capable of moving at the speed of lightning. His technique, "Thor's Hammer", involves using his element to increase the power and speed of the swing of his hammer.
* FieryRedhead: Like the Norse myths, he's depicted with red hair, but is stoic than most examples. The "fiery" part appears once Lü Bu starts matching him through the fight, showing his more [[BloodKnight battle-hungry side.]]
* FieryStoic: Once his emotions get riled up when his opponent actually challenges him, Thor still keeps most of his expressions in a stone-faced manner.
* GodOfThunder: As usual, Thor is a thunder god.
* {{Hunk}}: Like in the myths where Thor is also regarded as the Norse God of Strength, this version is ''utterly'' '''ripped''' as well.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: Once Lu Bu shows that he can easily react and block against his Thor's Hammer technique and was able to injure him, Thor starts to unleash his full power after one of his gloves was destroyed and the awakening of Mjolnir.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: He kills Incubus in the very first chapter and considering how the former is a SmugSnake who's planning to sexually assault Brunhilde, it was totally warranted.
* LivingWeapon: As revealed in his one-to-one fight against Lu Bu, Mjolnir "awoke" from its slumber along with its veins pulsing along with the ground ''melting'' by the sheer power it emits alone.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He has a youthful-looking face and long flowing red hair.
* NotSoStoic: Though he is presented as a serious and quiet individual, once his battle with Lü Bu gets more intense, he starts to enjoy it more and smiles more frequently.
* OneHitKill: The three named techniques he used his battle against Lü Bu are said to be capable of this.
* PerpetualFrowner: Doesn't really express himself often other than a frown, until his fight against Lü Bu.
* PowerLimiter: In contrast to the myths, his gloves are this. Instead of strengthening him so that he could always lift Mjolnir, they instead ''restrict'' his strength so that he didn't shatter Mjolnir [[GatheringSteam before it reaches full power.]]
* SadlyMythtaken: An InUniverse example. In the myths, Járngreipr is stated to allow Thor to wield Mjolnir's incredible power, but Zeus clarifies that the gloves' true purpose is the ''exact'' opposite.
* ShockAndAwe: He is the God of Thunder after all, but Thor doesn't utilize lightning towards Lü Bu unless in conjunction with the swing of his hammer.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: To show that he's a divinity, his eyes are golden-colored. Combines this with BlackEyesOfCrazy, which makes him look imposing.
* StarterVillain: As a result of being the first of the gods to fight in Ragnarok, Thor ends becoming the first antagonist to be confronted in the manga. Unlike the usual trope, however, is clear Thor is a force to reckon with and is not a weakling by any means, [[spoiler:even managing to win his round and keep living.]]
* TheStoic: In comparison to most depictions of him, this Thor is shockingly cold, even when he's enjoying himself.
* TechnicolorEyes: Has black sclera and golden eyes.
* ThunderHammer: Mjölnir is a massive hammer larger than Thor's entire body. Thor can channel electricity through the hammer, making his swings even more powerful and devastating.
* VictoryIsBoring: It's mentioned that most of his prior battles in Asgard were [[SingleStrokeBattle Single Stroke Battles]], leaving him unfulfilled through the centuries. It's only while fighting Lü Bu that he's able to indulge [[BloodKnight his thirst for battle.]]
* WeaponTwirling: He ''weaponizes'' this through his "Geirröd" and "Geirröd Thor's Hammer" techniques. For the former, he flings Mjolnir into the air with all of his might and then recalling it back to him to slam it onto his opponent, with the added great velocity and centrifugal force to it. The latter is when he combines the former with his "Thor's Hammer" technique, causing greater damage than either one.
* WhenHeSmiles: He gives the finest smile when unleashing his Geirröd technique onto Lü Bu.
* WorldsStrongestMan: He's regarded as the physically strongest God in the Norse myths.
* WorthyOpponent: Quickly comes to consider Lü Bu this as their fight progresses, even saying that the latter's strength is wasted in his mortal body.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see his muscular form]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zeus_muscular_form_8.png]][[/labelnote]]]][[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see his Adámas form]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zeus_adamas_form.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
The supreme God of the Greek Pantheon, chairman of the Council of Valhalla, proclaimed "God Father Of Cosmos" and the strongest God of them all. Despite his frail and shriveled appearance, he's a battle-hungry powerhouse strong enough to surpass time itself with a single punch. Among the Gods, he's the second one to fight in Ragnarok.
----
* AdaptationalUgliness: Zeus is usually portrayed in the Greek myths as an elder yet muscular and handsome deity, unlike the shriveled and trembling old man this Zeus looks. To his credit, he was [[IWasQuiteTheLooker a lot more handsome in his youth]].
* AskAStupidQuestion: When he asks Adam of his reason to fight against the Heavens despite not possessing malice towards them, the latter's response pretty much spells out how he views this from everyone believing the same thing and clarifies that he doesn't need a reason like that, but to protect the ones he loved.
* BareFistedMonk: Unlike his counterpart in mythology, Zeus here fights using his bare-handed fists, according to him "because he loves to hear the sound of the bones of his enemies breaking". He was like that in his youth too, as he defeated his father without any weapon but his own body.
* BeardOfEvil: Possesses a white, long beard that enhances his elderly aspect. It doubles as ExpressiveHair, as it usually reacts to whatever emotion Zeus is feeling at the moment.
* BigBad: As the leader of the Gods, he acts as the main antagonist of the series. Unlike other examples, however, his fight happens early in the series, [[spoiler:though he keeps the position as the main antagonist since he wins the battle.]]
* BigOlEyebrows: Extremely so. His eyebrows are so thick and big that in some panels they cover his eyes entirely. He also had thick eyebrows in his youth, but not even close to the extent they are at his current age.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: His eyes normally appear to be completely sunken, without showing any kind of pupils, though a glimpse of them can be seen from time to time (normally appearing as BlackEyesOfCrazy). Whether it is the result of age (he didn't have them when he was young) is anyone's guess.
* BloodKnight: Zeus forces Shiva to sit out his appointed fight, jumping in to fight the second match in Shiva's place, simply because he couldn't wait for his turn. When he realizes Adam's PowerCopying means he's essentially fighting [[MirrorMatch a mirror of himself]], he's beside himself with joy.
* BodyHorror: As a result of compressing his muscles to gain power, his Adamas form turns him into a shriveled and disturbingly lanky version of his muscled form, ending with a grotesque result.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Normally appears as an eccentric and frail old man, but he is the God Father of Cosmos for something, being a powerful fighter with a monstrous strength able to subjugate both Ares and an Ambrosia-powered Alcides without getting serious. The only way someone could match and even surpass him is by copying his power.
* CurbStompCushion: [[spoiler: For the first half of the fight, he can't lay a hit on Adam, getting beaten down even when he temporarily stops time due to the Eyes of the Lord copying his moves and reversing them on him. However, the minute he goes Adamas Mode, the fight becomes more even with him being able to land blows and eventually winning out the war of attrition due to Adam's power backlash occurring.]]
* DirtyOldMan: Very [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] compared to his usual portrayal in the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek Mythology]]. Though he shows lust, it is usually [[BloodKnight for battle]], not for sex. He, however, gazes lustfully at Brunhilde when he discovers the whole ruse behind the Volunds, much to her annoyance.
* TheDreaded: As the supreme God, his might alone strikes fear into nearly everyone. Even ''Shiva'', the Hindu God of Destruction is quite scared of him.
* DubPersonalityChange: In the original Japanese, Zeus sounds like a raspy, stereotypical old man. The English dub, on the other hand, gives him a much more regal sounding and sophisticated voice while keeping his eccentricity.
* ElementalMotifs: He doesn't wield lightning compare to the myths, but his [[FastAsLightning godly speed can bring to mind the element]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his first appearance, he at first appears acting as a frail old man, but later he's shown to kill his pet dragon easily after hearing Brunhilde's idea of Ragnarok and then slamming the ground with his mallet while making an unhinged face, showing both his silly side and his more brutal personality.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He's shown to be genuinely supportive of Heracles, even if he's not his son in this version. [[spoiler: He looks very upset after Heracles dies in his fight against Jack the Ripper, destroying the terrace where he, Hermes, Ares and Loki were after the end of the battle in a fit of [[TranquilFury calm rage]]]].
* EveryoneHasStandards: Battle-hungry as he is, he'll stop fights between his fellow gods if need be.
* EvilIsBigger: His muscular battle form dwarfs Adam by a large margin (helped by Adam not being very tall himself). Ironically, he was on the receiving end of this when he killed his father Cronos in his youth, as, while Zeus was by no means a short individual, the Titan was gigantic.
* EvilOldFolks: He's portrayed as an elderly looking God advocating for the annihilation of humanity and is also generally referred as "gramps" or "old geezer" by his fellow Gods, though, ironically, he's not the oldest of the Gods despite looking like it.
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: How he appeared to those in life, where Alcides was surprised by Zeus' true appearance compared to how he has depicted in the statue that the Greeks prayed to and worshipped.
* FinalBoss: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. He was supposed to be the last of the Gods to fight in Ragnarok, but after the first match, he got so excited to fight that he forced Shiva to retire and he ended up fighting in the second round instead. Even Göll asked surprised to her sister what was the last boss doing in the second fight as opposed to the last one.
* HourOfPower: His Adamas form ramps up his durability to NighInvulnerable levels, but cannot be used for long periods of time or he'll die from the self-destructive strain.
* HulkingOut: While he initially appears as nothing more than a feeble old man, when he exercises his immense strength he grotesquely morphs into a muscle-bound behemoth.
* IWasQuiteTheLooker: He definitely doesn't ''look'' like the shriveled old man he looks like in the present time during the time when he overthrew his own father.
* KickTheDog: During the first chapter, he kills his pet dragon (whom he had since it was a baby, as shown in Heracles's flashback) just because he was excited at the prospect of a fight between Gods and humans.
* LaughablyEvil: Sometimes, his antics end being amusing as they are terrifying. One example is his introduction during his battle in Ragnarok, where he appears dancing extravagantly (while Hermes plays a melody in his violin) to make a memorable entrance.
* LeanAndMean: Contrary to his usual muscular and bulky battle form, his Adamas mode is lean and trim (as a result of compressing all the muscles of his body). However, this gives him an even bigger strength.
* LightningBruiser: Contrary to what his muscular form may suggest at first, he's able to move at incredible speeds and even surpasses time itself with a single punch, while also being able to pack devastating blows.
* NeckSnap: Has his neck snapped completely around during his fight with Adam. And then he ''gets back up and snaps it back into place.''
* NightmareFace: Makes lots of them through the run of the manga, especially in his fight against Adam. Usually involves a combination of his BlackEyesOfEvil with an open, menacing black mouth.
* {{Patricide}}: He's well known for overthrowing and killing his father Chronos.
* PsychopathicManchild: His antics certainly veer into this territory at times.
* ScarsAreForever: If you are keen enough, you can realize that the wound Kronos gave to his chin formed a scar. It's more evident in his Adamas mode, where his chin gets fully exposed.
* SiblingYinYang: Compared to his older brother Poseidon, he's emotional, HotBlooded, likes attention, and loves a good fight, while Poseidon is serious, cold, despises drawing the attention of "lesser beings" and couldn't care less about having a good battle.
* SlasherSmile: As a result of having all his muscles greatly compressed, he sports one of these in his Adamas mode. It is horrifying enough to make a human baby from the audience to cry.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Zeus at first may come as a battle hungry brute, but he's surprisingly cunning in battle, and, so far, is the only God that has changed his strategy through his fight, going from trying to kill his enemy with brute force and speed to force a battle of attrition after realizing that he wouldn't go anywhere if he kept attacking Adam directly. [[spoiler: His gamble ends succeeding.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: Is this for Brunhilde in regards to her plans for Adam. The original plan was for Adam to deal with Shiva and bring the first win to the mortals, however, Zeus, who after the fight of Thor got incredibly excited at the prospect of a good battle, interrupted and forced Shiva to quit, as he simply couldn't wait for his turn and was too eager to fight. Adam gave him a good battle and even had the upper hand at certain points [[spoiler: but Zeus' techniques end up killing Adam anyway, giving the victory to Zeus and effectively ruining Brunhilde's plan for good.]]
* StrongerThanTheyLook: '''DO NOT''' mistake his usual frail, senior appearance as someone who's weak. He's the ''God Father of Cosmos'' after all, and all of the Gods are quite intimidated by his power.
* TinyHeadedBehemoth: When he bulks up, his head remains tiny compared to his huge, muscular body, making him look unsettling.
* TopGod: Like in the classical mythology, he's the most powerful Greek God and rules over the Olympians. This version is also depicted as the supreme God of every deity of every mythology, being feared even by other powerful Gods like Shiva.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Unlike the myths, Zeus is ''not'' Heracles' birth father.
* VillainRespect: He considered Kronos a horrible father, but admired his skills as a warrior, so he ended up naming his punch that surpasses time in his honor. [[spoiler: Later he was shown to have developed respect for Adam even if he lost the match, since he standed on his feet until the bitter end and managed to bend him (the strongest God) to his knees despite dying imitating Adamas.]]
* YoungerThanHeLooks: Granted that all the gods are eons old, Zeus is actually the youngest of Chronos and Rhea's four sons despite being a skin and bones wrinkled old man physically.
* YoungestChildWins: He received the status of TopGod for killing Chronos, putting him as ''de facto'' leader of the Olympiad over his three older brothers.

[[caption-width-right:300:''The Ruler of The Seas'']]
The Greek God of the Sea and one of the older brothers of Zeus. A fearsome deity is known for his disdain towards both humans and Gods alike. Very prideful and rigid on what a God should be, doesn't doubt to punish those who stray from his personal path of perfection. Among the Gods, he's the third one to fight in Ragnarok.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: When Kojiro finally analyzes and understands all his movements, he manages to [[spoiler: cut one of his arms with his ''Swallow Tiger Combo, Thousand Blades'', then proceeds to cut the other when Poseidon tried to attack him by holding his trident with his other hand.]]
* AnimalMotifs: He's indirectly compared with a [[ThreateningShark shark]] towards the end of his fight with Kojiro, due them representing the ferociousness and danger of the cold, deep ocean, the domain of Poseidon.
* AssholeVictim: Considering his disdain towards humans and Gods alike, that he murdered his own brother in cold blood for a petty reason (and then erased his existence from the history), and that he spent most of the fight looking down and taunting his opponent, very few tears were shed when [[spoiler:Kojiro cut him into pieces and he died an ignominious death. Even the Gods were more shocked to see him losing than feeling sadness for his death, and, though the Greek Gods wanted to avenge him, it was more to redeem themselves for the humiliation of Poseidon's defeat than for any genuine love for the guy.]]
* AvengingTheVillain: [[spoiler:After his death, the Greek Gods decide to take revenge for the humiliation they suffered by sending Heracles as the champion of the Gods for the next round.]]
* AttackAttackAttack: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. He always consistently thrusts his spear to pierce his opponent and doesn't change his approach, which ends up getting him killed.
* {{Bishonen}}: In contrast to his elderly looking younger brother, Poseidon is a fair-faced man with curled hair and a toned build.
* DeaderThanDead: His eventual fate after dying against Kojiro in Ragnarok.
* DefiantToTheEnd: To his credit, he goes down swinging. When he loses his dominant trident hand, he just switches to the other. When ''the other'' hand is taken off, he switches to his ''teeth'' and lunges at Kojiro in a futile effort. When he's left with just his head, he curses Kojiro with his dying breath.
* ElementalMotifs: As if it wasn't already obvious, but all of his techniques don't utilize his element despite their naming.
* EvilIsPetty: His reason for killing Adamas and erasing his existence throughout history? All because he feels that his older brother never fit in his views of perfection.
* {{Fratricide}}: It turns out that Poseidon was not one of three brothers as myth dictates, but one of four-- Adamas, a psychopathic MonsterClown god, is this missing brother. Poseidon kills him because he thinks Adamas brings shame on the Gods' name for being inferior in his eyes.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:In a fate mirroring his brother Adamas, Poseidon is killed by having his torso bisected from the rest of his body.]]
* HatesEveryoneEqually: While he feels nothing but disdain towards humans, he also has enormous contempt for his fellow Gods too, considering them nothing but fools who cannot get what makes a God a God. This also extends to his close family, as he didn't have any issue in killing his brother Adamas once he confirmed he didn't meet his expectations of what a God should be.
* HateSink: Is pretty much devoid of any likable or redeeming characteristics, making it all the easier to cheer when [[spoiler: Kojiro kills him]].
* HumansAreInsects: While nearly all of the gods believe humanity to be beneath them, Poseidon takes this much further in his fight against Kojiro, to the point where he doesn't unleash his full power against him. In fact, unlike with Thor and Zeus who complimented their human opponents, Poseidon dies cursing him.
* {{Jerkass}}: Is cold towards everyone and has no compassion or respect for anyone, usually treating those whom he deigns to talk with hate and disrespect.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Not only is he killed by one of the humans he despised so much, but the one who killed him was the one regarded as the biggest loser of humankind, adding more salt to the wound.]]
* MakingASplash: He ''is'' the god of the seas, after all, but has only used his ability to manipulate the water in his introduction.
* NotSoStoic: The only times he shows a different face other than a scowl is first when he wounds Kojiro for the first time, showing a sadistic smile and calling him a piece of shit, then, [[spoiler:after Kojiro manages to wound him for the first time, he displays one hell of a [[SlasherSmile menacing grin]], indicating Kojiro that he was going to pay for daring to slash him.]]
* OlderThanHeLooks: Despite having the appearance of a youthful young man, he's older than his brother Zeus, who looks like a decrepit old man.
* PerpetualFrowner: His usual expression is a serious face of disgust towards anyone who dares to interact with him.
* PragmaticVillainy: It should be noted that Poseidon could've also manipulated the water around the arena to completely drown Kojiro rather than continuing to use the same method of stabbing him with his trident, but since the ruler of the seas views his human opponent to be so beneath him in his eyes, it would be safe to say that a perfect being such as himself shouldn't bother with the effort of using his element.
* {{Pride}}: His defining characteristic. For him, a God has to be a perfect being that has no need for human necessities (like followers, wealth, an army...), and he holds great pride in not only projecting this image to others but for other Gods to follow his example. His arrogance is that, he never goes serious on a "lowly human" like Kojiro, not even bothering to use his [[MakingASplash water manipulating powers]] at any point of the fight. [[spoiler:This proves to be his downfall.]]
* ProngsOfPoseidon: Being the TropeNamer himself, he has a trident as his personal WeaponOfChoice.
* RedOniBlueOni: Has this dynamic with his rival Kojiro. Poseidon is the cold, serious, and unfriendly blue, while Kojiro is the outgoing, cheerful and friendly red. This is further reflected in their clothes. Poseidon wears a blue battle armor, while Kojiro possesses clothing with calid colors such as red and yellow.
* SiblingYinYang: Compared to his younger brother Zeus, he's serious, cold, despises drawing the attention of "lesser beings" and couldn't care less about having a good battle, while Zeus is emotional, HotBlooded, likes attention, and loves a good fight.
* SinisterWhistling: For some reason, he has the habit to whistle before attacking.
* TheSociopath: He cares for no one but himself, never respecting or acknowledging his older brother even as an ''infant'', killing him for being an ''embarrassment'', and afterward, [[{{Unperson}} made sure that he was forgotten throughout history]].
* StaticCharacter: Invoked. Since he sees himself as a perfect being, Poseidon finds no need for growth nor change in his outlook. This ends up [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] in his fight against the ever [[TookALevelInBadass evolving]] and [[OlderAndWiser enlightening]] Kojiro.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Believing that Kojiro was nothing but a lowly human, he got easy on him and, through the fight, he limited himself to throw his trident at him and little more. However, soon Kojiro proved to be more than a match to him, and not even after [[spoiler: he manages to cut one of his arms does he change his battle strategy. This proves to be his undoing, as Kojiro's dynamic fighting style quickly ended up killing him once he landed a lethal hit on him.]]
* UndignifiedDeath: Unlike [[spoiler:the other losers of the matches of Ragnarok (such as Lü Bu, Adam or Heracles), who went out with honor and even were recognized by their opponents after their deaths, Poseidon was butchered like a fish, had his corpse cut into pieces, died cursing his rival, and Kojiro ended up feeling pity for him due to his disdain towards his followers rather than feel honored to have fought against the strongest opponent he met in his whole existence, being happier for the fact that he won a real battle for once.]] So much for the "perfect God".
* UnskilledButStrong: While the rest of the gods are generally StrongAndSkilled, Poseidon's {{pride}} in the belief that, as a god, he is automatically perfect means that he never bothered to hone his skills, instead choosing to rely on his natural strength. [[spoiler:This belief ultimately ends up biting him in the ass in the end]].
* VillainousBreakdown: After Kojiro finally gets under his skin for getting a cut on him, Poseidon's develops a screaming hatred of him because he doesn't want to have lost to a lesser being.
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: When it comes down to his fight against Kojiro, Poseidon's method of attack is to always consecutively thrust his trident forward to pierce him. If that doesn't work and he later gets serious? Use more speed in his attacks to overwhelm him, rinse, and repeat. [[spoiler:[[{{Deconstructed|trope}} It basically screwed him over in the end]].]]
* TheWorfEffect: His loss and death at the hands of Kojiro is the turning point for the gods to realized the ''[[ThisIsReality reality]]'' that they could lose in Ragnarok.

!!Heracles
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heracles_record_of_ragnarok_6.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''The Envoy of Justice'']] [[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see his Twelfth Labour]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hound_of_hades.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
A former human named Alcides who became a demi-god after drinking from the blood of Zeus, now holding the title of Greek God of Fortitude. The most righteous God and one of the few divinities who is an advocate of saving humankind, though he fights for the side of the Gods. Among the Gods, he's the fourth one to fight in Ragnarok.
----
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: He gets this from both sides. [[spoiler:His death causes a lot of tears from humanity and the gods with even Brunhilde crying from his death.]]
* AdaptationalHeroism: Similar to some [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} adapt]][[Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys ations]], this version of Heracles is far from how he was portrayed in the myths and is a straight-up bonafide IdealHero among the gods and humanity.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Compare to the myths where he accidentally kills close friends and innocent people for simply being too close in proximity when his temper got the better of him and [[CantTakeCriticism is willing to go to war over a mere verbal insult]], this version of Heracles is a GentleGiant who takes his newfound godly strength seriously and is always a champion of righteousness.
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: He was born as a human who later became a God instead of being born as a demi-god who later ascends to Godhood.
* AllLovingHero: He not only possesses a deep love for humanity despite all their flaws but is determined to find a way to save them if he wins, even declaring that he will save even Jack the Ripper himself.
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Gets his left arm sliced off when trying to block an ImprovisedWeapon thrown at him by Jack, not knowing that the object is a divine weapon.]]
* AncientGrome: Averted. He's known by his Greek name rather than the more popular and well-known "Hercules", which is his ''Roman'' name. Despite this, some fan scanlations still refer to him by his Roman name.
* AntiVillain: He fights for the side of the Gods, but is motivated to save humanity even if he wins in Ragnarok.
* BarbarianLongHair: He has long, spiky hair that reaches his waist.
* TheBigGuy: Heracles is ''huge''. Göll is around the size of a human teenager, and Heracles' ''arm'' is as big as her whole body.
* BigOlEyebrows: Though not to the extent of Zeus, his eyebrows are also noticeably thick.
* BlowYouAway: The Sixth Labor, the Birds of Stymphalia, allows Heracles to create a large gust of wind with his club. He first uses it to blow Jack's FlechetteStorm of throwing knives back at him
* TheBrute: Unlike with Thor, Heracles inverts this for his heroic nature.
* CarryABigStick: Carries a club, as in the myths. It becomes something of a MorphWeapon when he uses his special attacks, manifesting the faces of creatures encountered on his 12 Labors.
* DeaderThanDead: His eventual fate when Jack The Ripper kills him by impaling his hands through him.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Unlike the myths, he was fully human until he drank the Ambrosia.
* {{Determinator}}: As Ares can attest, this is Heracles' main trait, whether it'll be upholding his ideals or going through life-threatening situations.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: As Heimdall puts it, he's the representant of the Gods during the last phase of the early stage of the tournament, making him the last big obstacle to beat during the first phase of the tournament.
* DumbMuscle: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Heracles is not really stupid, but his hot blooded personality often makes him act carelessly and charge straight towards his enemies without thinking first, trying to solve things with brute strength alone. This gets him into troubles many times through his battle with Jack.
* EvilRedhead: Greatly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]]. He fights for the side of the Gods but does so with the expectation of convincing them to spare humans if he wins his battle. Other than that, he is a benevolent character and his red hair is more related to the [[RedIsHeroic heroic version of the color]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity: When he has the opportunity to take Jack The Ripper out with him to make the match a draw, Heracles instead chooses to embrace him instead, letting himself die in so that humanity can have another win.
* FeelNoPain: In spite that his ability slowly kills him (while also causing Heracles an unimaginable pain as the tattoo who marks his usage of the 12 Labours grows and grows) and that [[spoiler: he later loses an arm]], he continues fighting without even showing the slightest sign that he's suffering from his wounds and power.
* FieryRedhead: Has red hair and is very HotBlooded.
* ForGreatJustice: His one main goal in life to the point Heimdall calls him, the greatest hero.
* FriendlyEnemy: Brunhilde and Göll consider Heracles like a brother, owing to their shared status as demigods. [[spoiler:Both are left crying when he dies.]]
* FusionDance: His final technique, "Hounds of Hades" sees him perform this with Cerberus to maximize his strength to even greater limits. The catch is that it constantly burns through his life and cannot be undone, making it a SuicideAttack even if it succeeds.
* GoodIsNotDumb: He may be a HotBlooded IdealHero who fights ForGreatJustice and can be a bit dim at certain times, Heracles is '''not''' unaware ''or'' naive of the atrocities humanity is capable of to each other, considering his divine position and responsibility of guiding the righteousness of them himself.
* HappilyAdopted: In spite of being born as a normal human being, he was well received by the other Gods and his adoptive divine family is shown to be loving and supportive of him despite not being born as a God. [[spoiler: They are genuinely devastated when he dies at the end of his battle.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: He could've killed his opponent in order to tie the match, but chooses to die out of love for humanity.
* HeroicSpirit: '''All. The. Time.''' He will always take the hardest route in regards to becoming stronger. This trait is further shown near the end of his battle against Jack The Ripper, where Heracles unleashed the final technique that would eventually kill him in exchange for greater power. Thus why he has the title '''God of Fortitude'''.
* HonorBeforeReason: Heracules is a deeply honorable man that [[spoiler:even his last moment could have killed Jack but decided to hug him to give humanity another victory]].
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Jack kills him after impaling him with his blood-powered Volund gloves, after feigning a feint with the fence he used to impale himself, no less.]]
* InnocentBlueEyes: As the paradigm of justice and honor, he is given bright blue eyes (though he is not a fool and is aware of the evil humans can commit). This contrasts with [[RedEyesTakeWarning Jack's red right eye]].
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: For the anime, Heracles makes a brief appearance at the end of Season One.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: [[spoiler: The only reaction he shows after just having his arm cut is a face of [[DullSurprise slight surprise]], regaining his composure seconds after that.]]
* MarkedChange: His right torso is covered in tattoos marking his accomplishments. Every time he uses one of his [[SignatureMove Signature Moves]], the tattoo expands painfully to cover more of his body. If it grows to cover his whole body, [[CastFromLifespan he'll die.]]
* MeaningfulRename: He was born as Alcides until changing his name to Heracles in respect to Zeus' wife after being adopted into the family.
* TheParagon: This Heracles is the overall representative of goodness and justice for both Gods and Humans. He will do what he must for his people and always believes in the best of Man, even though he knows how cruel they can get.
* RedIsHeroic: His hair is reddish and he is undoubtedly the most benign of the Gods. Also mixes this with FieryRedhead.
* SkilledButNaive: Heracles is a powerful God with a a great strength, a more versatile arsenal than other of his kind and with a record of mighty monsters killed by his hands. However, since he always fought his enemies in straight battles of brute strength, he's unprepared for oponnents who resort to more complex tactics and fight dirty. As such, he's surpassed and grievously injured by Jack (who is precisely the kind of person who employs the aforementioned strategies) many times in their battle due his lack of experience against these type of fighters.
* StockShonenHero: Though not the actual protagonist, Heracles pretty much plays this all of the basic tropes straight.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Is the only god who's not a jerk and actually loves Humanity despite being on the side of gods who want to destroy them.
* TranshumanTreachery: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. He became a God to guide humans for the right path, and that hasn't change in Ragnarok, vowing to win his fight to convince the Gods to spare mankind.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: He's Zeus' ''adoptive'' son rather than his full-blooded one in the myths.
* VillainRespect: He's not really a villain, but Heracles has a deep respect for Lü Bu, Adam, and Sasaki Kojiro's abilities and sees them worthy to represent humanity in Ragnarok. He also starts to see Jack as this when the latter continues to fight despite his "cowardly" tactics.
* WartsAndAll: His proclamation to humanity in Chapter 27. While he's aware of the deep-seated corruption and flaws Humanity as a whole has, he ultimately once was human and holds nothing but unconditional love for it.
* WildCard: Despite representing the Gods in Ragnarok, Heracles isn't fully on their side and stated to Loki that he's always on the side of justice.
!!Tropes that apply to him prior to his ascension to Godhood.
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alcides.png]][[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see him as Alcides (Post-Training)]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/muscular_alcides.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see him as Alcides after he drank the Ambrosia]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alcides_after_drinking_the_ambrosia.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
----
* BullyHunter: He would often defend those being picked on or abused unfairly.
* BarbarianLongHair: His hair grew long and flowing after drinking the Ambrosia.
* {{Determinator}}: Alcides would always do the right thing, no matter how stupid or insane it was. He even faced off against Ares before taking the Ambrosia as he found the Gods' actions are wrong.
* NothingButSkinAndBones: His original appearance before undergoing intensive training that would lead him into gaining a HeroicBuild.
* SicklyChildGrewUpStrong: Much like Comicbook/CaptainAmerica, Heracules was born with a very weak body as a mortal, but after years of determination and hard training, he gains a HeroicBuild and then comes the event where he drinks the Ambrosia.
* TooDumbToLive: The narration mentions that Alcides always took the hardest path possible in order to improve himself, sometimes taking incredibly dumb and dangerous approaches to certain situations (such as charging straight to a boar the size of a T. Rex that dwarfs him by a large margin), to the point his best friend Castor even wonders if there's something wrong with him. Fortunately for him, this ends paying off and he ends developing a strong physique as a result.
* TookALevelInBadass: His backstory is basically him taking several levels in badassery as his life goes on. He starts as a weak and scrawny kid who, with effort and persistence, manages to become a strong and respected man. Then, after drinking the Ambrosia to stop the massacre that Ares was about to perform in Thebes, he becomes a demigod strong enough to defeat all the invading troops by himself and give Ares a good beatdown. Lastly, after finishing his 12 Labours, he finally becomes a full-fledged God.
* TrainingFromHell: Goes through this in life as Alcides, with the narration referring to him as someone who always taking the hardest path to achieve his goals. Once we see the results with his muscular build and later with his ascension into godhood, one can say that it definitely paid off.

The Hindu God of Creation and Destruction. Arrogant and battle-loving, tried to participate in Ragnarok in the early stages, though his first attempts were unsuccessful. Among the Gods, he's the fifth one to fight in Ragnarok.
----
%%* AdaptationDyeJob: He has blue skin canonically (as he's usually portrayed in mythology), but some stickers of the manga depicted him with brown skin.
* AffablyEvil: While Shiva is more arrogant and haughty than outright evil, he quickly comes to respect Raiden's strength and is rather friendly throughout their fight. [[spoiler:This becomes a detriment though, as he even allows Raiden several opportunities to either take a quick breather or power up rather than attack while he is wide open, wishing to meet his attacks head on. He ends up taking a lot of unnecessary damage because of it. This behavior leaves Ares baffled, but Hermes finds it to be a charming aspect of Shiva's character.]]
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: As shown in colour illustrations, his skin is the mythology-accurate blue.
* AnArmAndALeg: Having four arms makes him susceptible to this, [[spoiler:as he first loses use of one arm after Raiden crushes it within his grip, and then loses two more when they are torn off by the sheer power of Raiden's forbidden technique after he tries to block it.]]
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Chapter 37 reveals that he used to be regarded as a lower deity and rose up to become the leader of the Indian gods after defeating the other gods which included his best friend, Rudra.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Or rather, black eye of crazy. The four eyes he has on his face have a normal, white sclera, but the ThirdEye on his forehead has a black one, possibly hinting it is the source of his power.
* BloodKnight: The tournament's stakes and excitement have gotten Shiva extremely invested in the fighting. When Zeus forces him to switch places with him, it takes a lot of convincing (read: threatening) for him to back down. Shiva even goes as far as to say that Zeus would have to fight ''him'' to take his spot.
* ButtMonkey:
** For much of his early appearances his whole screentime consisted of being interrupted and frustrated by the Greek Gods anytime he tried to take part in Ragnarok, to his chagrin. [[ThrowTheDogABone He finally has the chance to prove his strength in the fifth round of the tournament]], facing Raiden Tameemon. [[spoiler:Even then, he and his fight with Raiden gets slightly overshadowed by the WhamEpisode and near face-off of Loki and the Seven Lucky Gods versus Buddha, Sasaki, and Souji.
** Subverted when he actually [[spoiler: wins his match against Raiden, showing WHY he is the top god of the Indian pantheon.]]
* CatchPhrase: In Japanese, he has ''shouganee na'' ("looks like I don't have a choice").
* DanceBattler: [[spoiler:Eventually, his trump card is revealed to be the "Hidden Treasure of Svarga", a frantic and unpredictable fast dance that allows Shiva to attack quickly from many different sides, making him able to strike his enemies multiple times without them realizing where the hits come from.]]
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:In the later stages of the fight, Shiva is forced to use his ultimate ability, Samsara War Dance - Ashes, which burns his body at an incredible temperature and increases his physical abilities at the cost of literally burning away his own body with prolonged use. This blowback is referred to as Tandava Karma, referencing the concept in Hindu mythology of Shiva burning away his own body as he destroys the world in order to rebuild it from his ashes.]]
* DecompositeCharacter: Shiva and Rudra are considered the same character in Hindu Mythology. Here, Rudra and Shiva are different characters who performed the same feats together, Shiva only stepping up to his current status when Rudra fights and loses to him. [[spoiler:His usurping of Rudra's legend is referenced when his nickname is given to Shiva after losing, much like the rest of the gods they fought and bested.]] Then again, Rudra was his own god before being absorbed into the canon, so it might be a case of an originally composite character becoming a decomposite.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: The opponents that Shiva and Rudra defeated on their ascent to Svarga's peak came to be their TrueCompanions, who followed and supported their journey until it's end. The only exception was Rudra himself, who departed from Svarga after his defeat against Shiva, leaving his best friend behind.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Back before Alcides's ascension to Godhood, he considered Loki's suggestion of killing all the humans to be excessive, instead proposing to go to Thebes to "teach them a small lesson".
* ExtraEyes: Possesses five, the two normal eyes humans have, a ThirdEye on his forehead and two other more under his first pair. He has those ones closed unless he's genuinely surprised, normally appearing as some kind of FacialMarkings when he's calm.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: When he was about to face Adam he said that, if he didn't calm himself down, he would turn his rival in a pile of ashes, foreshadowing his fire-based fighting style.]]
* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Even after losing three of his arms, Shiva continues being a powerful fighter and thanks to the dexterity of his legs, he's able to move gracefully despite losing the capacity to punch. He even manages to win his fight thanks to a combination of his [[DanceBattler Hidden Treasure of Svarga]] with his [[SuperMode Tandava Karma]].]]
* HellishPupils: The pupils of the eyes on his face are slitted like those of a snake, while his ThirdEye normally takes a horizontal shape, like that of a goat (though it sometimes depicted as vertical). Like with other Gods, this is likely done to show that he's an inhuman being.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: And BloodBrothers, with Rudra.
* HeyYou: Throughout his fight with Raiden Taneemon, Shiva never once refers to him by name and prefers to call him "Human". It's only at the end of the fight, when he's fought Raiden to his limits and finally comes to respect him, that he calls him by his full name.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: He at first acts defiant to Zeus when he tried to take his turn in the second round of Ragnarok, but after seeing that Zeus was completely serious about participating in that round, he prefers to retire and let him fight than to confront the God Father of Cosmos. Later he does the same upon seeing the wrath of the Greek Gods after [[spoiler:they announce their desire to avenge Poseidon's defeat by sending Heracles as their champion]], at the expense of Shiva, who wanted to participate in the fourth round.
* MadeOfIron: He takes two direct hits to the face from the superhumanly strong Raiden without taking much in the way of damage.
* MagicPants: Shiva using his Tandava dance to set himself on fire doesn't burn away his clothing. [[spoiler:Taken even further when he activates Tandava Karma and is engulfed by intense fire that burns away the surroundings. Even his head wrap is burned away, but his pants stay intact while they are dramatically covered in flames.]]
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: In the vein of the Hindu deities, he's portrayed with four arms.
* NightmareFace: He's shown to be able to make scary expressions by opening all his eyes at the same time.
* NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech: After witnessing Raiden's resolve and seeing his friend Rudra supporting him from the sidelines, Shiva gives a brief speech about all that he is fighting for before [[spoiler: activating his most destructive technique to give the battle everything he has. This [[CallBack calls back]] to his fight with Rudra where he couldn't bring himself to fight all out despite his friend's unbreakable resolve, wounding Rudra's pride far worse than any physical pain. He doesn't repeat the same mistake with Raiden and uses his maximum power against an opponent who is also giving everything he has, allowing them both to have the greatest fight of their lives.]]
* NotSoDifferent: As the fight nears its climax, Brunhilde notes that both Shiva and Raiden are men whose strength increases exponentially when they have others that they are fighting for, even destroying their own bodies so they don't let their loved ones down.
* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler:His Tandava technique is achieved when the dancing of the Hidden Treasure of Svarga gets so intense it makes his body burn and combust, increasing the potency of his attacks. It's hot enough to cauterize wounds in seconds after inflicting a deep wound.]]
* {{Polyamory}}: Chapter 32 shows his wife, Parvati cheering him on with his two consorts Kali and Durga. This is mythologically accurate with the manga cutting out that Kali and Durga are aspects of Parvati
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Shiva weaponizes this trope, as he can imbue his strikes with the spirits of his TrueCompanions to increase his strength.
* PowerTattoo: The tattoos along his arms and hands are revealed to be power markers, ones that Rudra gifted to him after stepping down.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Shiva makes good use of his four arms by attacking Raiden with flurries of punches. Even losing the use of one arm doesn't slow down his barrage as the fight gets more serious.
* RecliningReigner: Shiva is first introduced in chapter 1 sprawled out on a lavish mattress during the Council of Gods, highlighting his decadent and hedonistic nature as the top god of his pantheon. He is later seen throughout the series casually reclining on whatever he is sitting on. His flashback shows that he had a habit of lounging around even as a low-level deity before ascending to the peak of Svarga, implying it's a habit out of laziness rather than pure arrogance.
* RedIsViolent: [[spoiler:Shiva's most destructive ability turns his body red from the incredible heat it exudes.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Shiva had this dynamic with Rudra in the past, serving as the Blue Oni to Rudra's Red. Shiva was a lazy god who had no aspirations beyond relaxing and having a good time dancing, while Rudra was driven solely by his dream, unwilling to grow complacent in his role and desiring to reach the top of Svarga. Rudra convinced Shiva to join him on his journey, and their opposing views came to a head when they reached the top and fought, with Shiva being clearly superior but unwilling to accept his role as leader, while Rudra gave everything he had to win, but was simply not strong enough despite his resolve towards achieving his dream.
* RoundhouseKick: Shiva's ''Deva Loka'' move is a flaming roundhouse kick that he uses in conjunction with his Tandava war dances. [[spoiler:He uses this move to end the fight, first splitting apart Raiden's arm and then [[OffWithHisHead decapitating him with it.]]]]
* RuleOfThree: Gets stopped three times in a row by the Greek Gods whenever he tries to take part in Ragnarok before finally getting his chance to fight.
* SuperMode: [[spoiler:Shiva's final technique, Samsara War Dance, uses Tandava Karma to increase his body heat until he turns red and improves his physical abilities considerably at the cost of burning away his own body.]]
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Like with Thor and Zeus, his eyes are also golden-colored, though unlike them, he has white sclera save for his ThirdEye.
* ThereCanBeOnlyOne: Despite he and Rudra defeating over 1000 Indian gods together, they come to the conclusion that only one of them needs to be on the throne of India. Shiva wins, and receives Rudra's powers.
* ThirdEye: He possesses one in his forehead, as he's usually portrayed in mythology. Actually [[{{SubvertedTrope}} subverted]], it would be actually the fifth eye, as he has another pair of eyes under the ones he normally shows. [[spoiler:When Shiva activates his ultimate destructive ability, all five eyes are seen dramatically lighting up as his body transforms.]]
* ThrowTheDogABone: After being blue-balled ''[[RuleOfThree thrice]]'' in a row, he finally gets a chance to fight in the fifth round. [[spoiler:He wins his match against Raiden despite losing three of his arms.]]
* VillainRespect: [[spoiler:After the fight has been decided and Shiva is about to deliver the finishing blow, he genuinely thanks Raiden for allowing them both to have the greatest fight of their lives.]]
* WreathedInFlames: [[spoiler:The Tandava technique sets Shiva's body on fire from the intensity of his dancing, increasing the power and effectiveness of the Hidden Treasure of Svarga. Taken UpToEleven with the Samsara War Dance, which uses Tandava Karma to heat up his body until it turns red, surrounding his body in flames so hot that they even force a fellow god like Heimdall to flee the arena.]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bishamonten.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Divine Punishment'']]
The Japanese God of fortune in war and battles, as well as one of the 7 Lucky Gods, being their leader. He was set to participate in Ragnarok at first, and does indeed comes for Round 6, however, something unexpected happened...
----
* TheAssimilator: [[spoiler:Rather than fusing with the other Lucky Gods in a more traditional way, he absorbs them from the back of his back. It is hinted by the appearance he takes after fusing with each god that he adopts their abilities, though Zerofuku resembles a younger version of Bishamonten rather than any of the other six.]]
* BadassArmfold: UpToEleven. It's his default position, staying like that during the whole battle of Buddha and the Einherjar against Loki and the other Seven Lucky Gods. He only drops it twice, the first for a few panels where Zeus and Odin appear to stop the brawl, after which he resumes while leaving, and the second when [[spoiler:he and the rest of the Seven Lucky Gods enter the ring and fuse back into Zerofuku]].
* BestServedCold: [[spoiler: After Zerofuku divided himself into the Seven Lucky Gods, the other six wanted to take revenge on Buddha immediately. Bishamonten, however, tells them that is not the right moment yet before leaving, indicating he was waiting for the perfect moment to execute his revenge.]] He finally gets his chance in Ragnarok.
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:The way he fuses with the other six Lucky Gods is by absorbing them into his body, with each god absorbed deforming and rearranging his body until they take their final form: Zerofuku.]]
* CoolMask: Sports an extremely intimidating mask that helps build him up.
* CoolShip: He makes his entrance into the arena on board the ''Takarabune'', the mythical flying ship piloted by the Seven Lucky Gods in Japanese folklore.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Though he takes his job as the Executioner of Heaven seriously, he's against senseless killing.
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:Right before his battle against Buddha, he fuses with the rest of the seven lucky gods to become Zerofuku, their original form.]]
* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: He along with his other six subordinates acts as the personal executioner from Heaven, judging those who dare to betray the gods. Despite this role, he is against needless violence towards those who haven't been judged and stops Ebisu from picking a fight with Jack.
* TheLeader: As the god of fortune in battle and patron of warriors, he's the leader and most powerful member of the Seven Lucky Gods.
* OverlyLongName: [[spoiler:Each time he fuses with one of the seven lucky gods his new form is given a name that combines aeach of the gods that is a part of it. After all seven merge together they have the name; Bishamonebisuhoteibenzaitenjuroujinfukurokujudaikokuten.]]
* PerpetualFrowner: His face remains in a perpetual scowl, thing that makes him more intimidating.
* TheQuietOne: Barely says or does anything during the fight of Buddha, Kojiro, Kondo and Okita against Loki and the Seven Lucky Gods, staying in the background and letting Loki and Ebisu take the initiative.
* RapunzelHair: Male example; his long, black hair reaches past his waist.
* SimpleStaff: The only weapon he's seen carrying is a ''khakkhara'' (a Buddhist staff topped with metal rings). He doesn't gets to use it, however, as he [[spoiler:fuses into Zerofuku with the other six Lucky Gods as soon as he arrives to the arena.]]
* TheStoic: He rarely loses his cool, even while in presence of [[TheDreaded Zeus and Odin]], being the only individual in the brawl of Buddha, the Einherjar, Loki and the Seven Lucky Gods (along with Buddha himself) who doesn't shits his pants under their intimidating aura.
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:Zerofuku is this, as knowing of his mere existence spoils the reveal that the Seven Lucky Gods are, in fact, actually all one being]].
!!Zerofuku

A God of Misfortune and the original form of Bishamonten and the Seven Lucky Gods. A bloodthirsty combatant who wants nothing more than to humiliate and kill the one person who showed him up: Buddha.
----
* AnAxeToGrind: After becoming Zerofuku, he draws out a massive axe, Misery Cleaver, out of his body to fight Buddha with.
* AxeCrazy: The first thing he says when he emerges in-stadium is pondering how he wants to introduce the concept of killing the Buddha. When the actual fight starts, things get even worse. Funnily enough, he uses an axe as his WeaponOfChoice.
* TheBerserker: His fight style consists in wildly swinging his Misery Cleaver to the enemy without any kind of strategy or ruse, keeping attacking savagely until landing a hit.
* BishonenLine: The huge and imposing Bishamonten takes the form of a youthful yet eerie looking kid as Zerofuku after taking some grotesque forms while fusing with the other Lucky Gods.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Once he snapped, Zerofuku's eyes became this, signifying his descent to depravity.
* BodyHorror: He forms his axe, Misery Cleaver, from his body by grotesquely drawing out a large chunk of flesh out of his back.
* CanonForeigner: Zerofuku is a character created for the manga and there are no signs of his existence in mythology.
* CatchPhrase: He retains the Seven Lucky Gods' use of the term "tenchu" (divine punishment).
* DarkIsEvil: Contrary to his past self of fairer hair and normal eyes, his current version has dark parts of hair, [[BlackEyesOfCrazy his eyes now feature black sclera]], he got black marks around his eyes and hole and uses misery as his main source of power.
* EmpathicWeapon: His axe is able to absorb misery around it, including Zerofuku's, in order to make itself larger.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: His crusade to kill humans stopped before it even began, as he prevents himself from killing a mother and her child by ripping himself into seven.
* EvilIsBigger: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Unlike the towering Bishamonten, Zerofuku, being a child, is actually shorter than his opponent Buddha.
* EvilIsPetty: Weaponized. His pettiness makes even the smallest missteps and misses will enhance his Misery Cleaver.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: His Misery Cleaver is revealed to have eyes on its shaft. The worst part is that they [[BodyHorror appear to be moving and looking in many different directions]].
* FacialMarkings: He has two thin black stripes coming under his eyes, along with the root of the kanji for fortune (福) on his cheeks.
* ForHappiness: He loved all the Earth's living beings, wishing for their happiness and attempting to grant it by taking the source of their ills away. Unfortunately, he didn't understand that taking away situational misfortunes didn't make the people he helped spiritually fulfilled.
* GreenEyedMonster: The main reason behind his feud against Buddha is the jealousy he feels after he, a former human, was able to do the job given to him in a more effective way.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Just when he manages to revert to his benevolent old self thanks to Buddha making him realize he needed to love himself, his horns turn into dragons and swallow him into an egg-shaped cocoon, leaving way for Hajun to take his place in the sixth match and making his current state unknown.
* MorphWeapon: His Misery Cleaver is able to change its shape according to what Zerofuku is feeling. As such, the cleaver is able to adopt many different forms, from a much bigger version of the original axe to a huge blade with several spikes protruding from it.
* NightmareFace: Compared to [[TheStoic Bisha]][[PerpetualFrowner mon]][[TheQuietOne ten]], when he first appears, he's sporting what can best be described as a rather creepy SlasherSmile. He later displays a wide arrange of disturbing expressions both during his flashback and during the fight against Buddha.
* ThePowerOfHate: His main ability allows him to absorb all the misfortune around him to power up his ax, including his own. As an individual with such deep hatred for Buddha and who generates a lot of misery just from things as simple as not hitting Buddha with his attacks, he can power up his Misery Cleaver so much it increases its size to gigantic proportions.
* PsychopathicManchild: After all these years, the Zerofuku that emerges for the tournament is still that frustrated child from millennia ago who can't let go of his grudge.
* RageBreakingPoint: While he was upset that his fortune couldn't truly make people happy, what really broke him was the fact that a human could so easily bring happiness ''and'' personal fortune to his followers when he could not do the same. As a god, no greater humiliation could be met.
* TheResenter: His main motivation to participate in Ragnarok is to get back at Buddha for leading humans into happiness better than him, waiting centuries to have his chance.
* SanitySlippage: Before being corrupted, Zerofuku was a sane and sweet deity. His current misfortune-induced self pretty much threw away his sanity down the drain.
* SevenDeadlySins: He expels seven essences of misfortune, each named after one of the Sins after he awoke to his malicious side. To represent this, he has seven beads in his hair, each with the kanji for the seven sins written on them.
* UnknownRival: To the Buddha. Even when he was split into the Seven Lucky Gods, his seething hatred for the Buddha was carried by them to the present.
* UnusualEars: His ears have a very long inferior lobe, ironically giving him a similar appearance to the one given to Buddha (his opponent) in real-life portrayals.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: When he was still a young god, he was cheerful, all-loving, and self-sacrificial. He helped any misfortunate person he came across, taking all of their misfortune energy into himself.
* VillainousBreakdown: While he's not mentally stable by any means when Buddha goes to avoid all of his attacks while hitting him constantly in Chapter 46, he really loses the little sanity he has.
-->'''Zerofuku:''' ''Dammit! Miss! Miss! Miss! Miss! I just keep missing!''
* WalkingSpoiler: His inclusion on the roster at all spoils the fact that Bishamonten isn't going to be fighting in the tournament... at least, in the traditional sense.
* WhatHaveIBecome: As mad as he was when he decided to turn his back on humanity, enough of his conscience remained to split himself up into seven pieces before he could hurt anyone. Upon the split, one of the first things the seven mentions is how he doesn't get like that often.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He was once a benevolent, sweet and caring divinity, but the result his actions brought to humans and the realization that Buddha (a human) did a better job bringing happiness to people than him turned him into a depraved figure.
!!Hajun
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hajun_shuumatsu.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Demon Lord of the Sixth Heaven'']]
One of the demons of Buddhism and the berserker of the Netherworld. Appears mysteriously after Zerofuku gets redeemed by Buddha, devouring the God of Misfortune and replacing him for the sixth round.
----
* DemonicPossession: Appears to do this to Zerofuku by inserting an enlarged pair of horns that were off of Zerofuku's original self then emerges from his body in the form of two dragons, and then encasing him in a scaled spherical cocoon before bursting out from it.
* EvilIsBigger: Unlike Zerofuku, he's way taller than Buddha, in one panel appearing like if Buddha only reaches to [[UpToEleven his legs]].
* FacialMarkings: Like Zerofuku, he has two black stripes going down his eyes, though his stripes also go above them too. Additionally, he has two "V"-shaped marks on his forehead.
* HornedHumanoid: True to his demonic nature, he has a pair of big horns similar to those of a buffalo protruding from his head.
* TheStoic: Appears to be more similar in personality to the quiet Bishamonten than to the deranged Zerofuku, calmly announcing Buddha the he will receive divine retribution.
* WalkingSpoiler: An even bigger one than Zerofuku. If learning about Zerofuku's existence before Round 6 spoils you about the true fighter of the gods for that round, knowing about this guy before the sixth battle spoils you of the twist that the fight doesn't ends with Zerofuku's redemption.

[[caption-width-right:350:''The Supreme Norse God'']]
The supreme and most important God of the Norse Pantheon. A stoic and unmoved divinity with the appearance of an old man, he's set to participate in Ragnarok at some point.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Odin's light-colored hair in the manga is changed to black for the anime.
* BadassBeard: As usual for portrayals of Odin both in mythology and fiction, this one sports a magnificent white beard. May double as BeardOfEvil too, since he also advocated for the extinction of humankind.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Like his son Thor, his design features a single eye with black sclera. We still don't know if they also share the same [[SupernaturalGoldEyes golden-colored eyes]], however.
* TheDragon: Not confirmed, but his status amongst the gods and his aura of authority gives this image more than the other Olympians.
* EvilOldFolks: Though not shown as emaciated as Zeus, he's still portrayed as an elderly God and one that wants the extinction of the humans.
* EyepatchOfPower: He is depicted having one, possibly referencing the fact that Odin is often portrayed as having only one eye in mythology. Time will tell if he has hidden something under it or if he wears it because he is indeed one-eyed.
* LargeAndInCharge: One of the most esteemed divine patriarchs, and one of the tallest.
* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler: After showing some instances of losing his cool through the second and third fight, he finally leaves aside his composed self and shows one hell of a [[SlasherSmile deranged grin]] in chapter 34.]]
* PerpetualFrowner: His face rarely changes from a dead-serious expression.
* TheQuietOne: He barely says anything, and instead lets his crows talk for him. He's only been seen speaking in matters involving the other Norse gods, such as addressing Thor before his fight or breaking up the brawl between Loki, the Seven Lucky Gods and Buddha.
* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler: Flashes an impressive one in chapter 34 after the battle of Buddha, the Einherjar, Loki, and the Seven Lucky Gods is stopped and them, along with Zeus, return to watch the battle of Raiden and Shiva, for reasons yet unknown.]]
* TheStoic: '''Nothing''' ever fazes this guy, always having the same serious expression on his face. At best, he only shows slight displeasure. Notably, the only two times he expresses true surprise are first when [[spoiler:Adam takes Zeus's punch to pinpoint where his opponent was (since he went blind of overusing his power)]] and later [[spoiler: when Kojiro cuts both of Poseidon arms along with his trident.]]
* WalkingWasteland: He can rot away his surroundings with a thought.

The talking crows of Odin, that are always by his side. They tend to speak on his behalf, as Odin is normally silent.
----
* MouthOfSauron: As Odin himself [[TheQuietOne almost never speaks]], he lets Huginn and Muninn communicate his thoughts.
* ParrotPetPosition: They always appear sit on the shoulders of their master, very rarely leaving them.
* SidekickCreatureNuisance: They are very mouthy and get on the nerves of other characters often, leading to them getting comically strangled by Loki in one scene.

The Norse God of Trickery and Deceit. Likes to tease both God and humans alike, and seems to respect none of them. He's set to participate in Ragnarok at some point.
----
* ChainPain: Uses chained hooks as his weapons of choice.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Fittingly, Loki's appearance is androgynous to the extent that it's hard to tell ''what'' he is.
* LeanAndMean: Unlike the other Gods participating in the tournament (who have incredibly muscular or toned bodies), his physique is very slender.
* MulticoloredHair: His hair is dark, except for a single lock of hair that is lighter than the rest.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: During the times of Alcides, during the council of the Gods where they decided if to spare humankind or not, he suggests to kill them all as they did with the Tower of Babel, [[EvenEvilHasStandards to the disgust of Shiva]].
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: He drops his mocking and playful attitude when Kojiro kills Poseidon, saying that the fact a human was able to slay a God "wasn't a joke anymore".]]
* PerpetualSmiler: He's almost always seeing with a mocking smile on his face. This starts to change after [[spoiler: the deaths of Poseidon and Heracles, where he realizes that the Gods can indeed be defeated by mortals.]]
* ThinkingUpPortals: Loki can teleport between locations by traveling through portals he creates. He also has portals in the palms of his hands to summon his weapons from.
* {{Transmutation}}: Loki is seen casually altering the state of two drinking glasses during the second round, changing their shapes to resemble the heads of Zeus and Adam.
* TheTrickster: Naturally. His first appears trying to strangle Huginn and Munnin in the guise of Thor. Later, [[KickTheDog he taunts Heracles about fighting to exterminate the humans he's so endeared to]], only to have become annoyed when Heracles remains unaffected.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: He suffers a wordless one when Buddha declares he will be fighting for humanity, glaring with pure hatred.]]
* VillainousFriendship: Despite being from different pantheons, he's seen hanging out with the Greek gods without any problem. He's close enough with them to casually sit on the massive shoulder of Ares for much of the fourth round.
* VillainRespect: [[spoiler: He ends up developing begrudging respect for Jack the Ripper of all people, after he's unable to see through his trick of letting himself get wounded by the fence to use the blood of his wound as a technique from his Volund, even expressing that, despite being the God of Deceit and Trickery, he was unable to see through Jack's ruse.]]

A demon with a penchant for science. He's set to participate in Ragnarok at some point.
----
* AnimalMotifs: True to his title of "Lord of the Flies" in mythos, the big image of a fly can be seen on the door leading to his room.
* DarkIsEvil: His hair, clothes and eyes are predominantly black and, from the little we have seen of him, he definitely looks like a sinister individual.
* MadDoctor: In addition to his mad scientist persona, some medical tools can be seen on his room, implying he may be a (nightmarish) doctor too.
* MadScientist: Some gruesome experiments can be found on his room (including some grotesque fetuses kept in jars and what looks like a dog with some kind of parasite in the place where the snout should be), indicating he uses science for evil.
* PeekABangs: His hair cover his right eye, though you can get a small glimpse of it if you focus enough.
* SinisterMinister: Despite his involvement with science, his attire is some kind of black clerical robe, giving him the image of a priest.
* VillainousGlutton: Beelzebub is regarded as the patron demon of Gluttony in many traditions, with the state of his chamber suggesting an insatiable hunger, although not for food, but for knowledge.
[[/folder]]
!! The Heavens
[[folder:In General]]
* AdaptationDeviation: Like what happens with the Einherjar, the Gods of the setting belong to various myths, legends, and religions, so the manga changes their backstories so they all of them can be allowed to exist in [[AllMythsAreTrue the same world]].
* AnyoneCanDie: Like their human opponents, if they die in the tournament, they are done for and will die for good. Initially, they didn't believe that something like that could happen to them, but once [[spoiler:Poseidon gets killed in his fight, they begin to realize that things are not going to be as easy as they looked at first.]]
* HeroKiller: As they can back up the might attributed to them in myths and legends, their power and abilities shouldn't be underestimated by any means, making them a true danger for the Einherjar. Even when they end losing, they still manage to force their human rivals to give everything they have in order to defeat them. So far in the tournament, [[spoiler:Thor, Zeus and Shiva have managed to succesfully kill their opponents.]]
* JerkassGods: With the exception of [[TokenGoodTeammate Heracles]], the Gods are portrayed as an unpleasant bunch of assholes who only see the humans as their plaything and don't have any problems in exterminating them for the most insignificant reason. Their jerk level ranges from Thor, who just cares about having a good fight, to Poseidon, who views humans as nothing but [[HumansAreInsects insects]].
* ShroudedInMyth: There are certain parts in the myths that can be somewhat misleading about them, which doesn't bore well for Brunhilde's attempts to get the advantage.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: The entire reason the gods agreed to the tournament was because they figured they’d easily wipe the floor with humanity as one last humiliation. However, Zeus actually struggling against Adam followed by [[spoiler: losing both Poseidon and Heracles]] serves as a wake-up call, forcing them to admit that humanity won’t be going down without a fight.
* UnskilledButStrong: Not [[DownplayedTrope really]] [[StrongAndSkilled per se]], but when it comes to fighting against their lesser opponents, the heavenly fighters tend to overestimate their advantage in the tournament until [[spoiler:the death of Poseidon]].

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thor_record_of_ragnarok.png]][[caption-width-right:300:''The God of Thunder'']]
The Nordic God of Thunder, who's also regarded as the strongest Nordic God. Though stoic and serious at first, he's in truth a battle maniac wishing for a good fight, as his overwhelming power usually kills his enemies easily. Among the Gods, he's the first one to fight in Ragnarok.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Thank [[{{Pun}} god]] it's not his '''hair''' this time, but his eyes are golden rather than blue, along with his sclera being black.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Unlike the Norse depictions of Thor with both a BeardOfBarbarism and BarbarianLonghair, this one is portrayed as [[LongHairedPrettyBoy beautiful young man with long flowing hair]]
* AdaptationalBadass: In the original Norse myths, Thor needed the aid of Megingjörð and Járngreipr to double his physical strength and provide protection from wielding the incredible might of Mjolnir and died against Jörmungandr in a MutualKill. Here, he needed Járngreipr to '''restrain''' his own power so Mjolnir doesn't get destroyed prior to its awakening and easily flattened the World Serpent with one move ''prior'' to Ragnarok.
* AdaptationalLateAppearance: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Since the tournament starts as soon as Zeus approves it, his first scene (where he kills Incubus) is removed, instead debuting when Heimdall announces Ragnarok.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He won't speak more than a few words, and will kill you if he finds you inconvenient.
* {{Bishonen}}: He definitely looks much younger and more beautiful compare to the Norse myths.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Is depicted with golden eyes and black sclera, probably to show that he's a supernatural being.
* BloodKnight: Like Lü Bu, he likes to fight.
* TheCameo: During the battle of Lü Bu against Sun Jian in the former's spin-off, the narration briefly shows images of Thor and Lü Bu about to clash during the first round of Ragnarok, mentioning that by that time, Lü Bu had managed to succesfully complete his Sky Eater technique, who was still incompleted during his fight against Sun Jian.
* CombinationAttack: In his last technique against Lü Bu, he combines his two strongest techniques into one ultimate move called, "Geirröd Thor's Hammer".
* CommutingOnABus: [[spoiler:Thor, for the most part, had only made passing appearances after his battle with Lu Bu, one after Poseidon's defeat, and another with Buddha's defection to humanity.]]
* CurbStompBattle: He killed 66 Jötunn with ease in the Ancient Era, and later against the World Serpent.
* DidntSeeThatComing: He was definitely surprised when Lü Bu not only manages to react and block against his first technique but also ''injured'' him as well.
* TheDreaded: Being the strongest of the Nordic gods, almost everyone is intimidated by Thor's presence, with Göll nearly wetting herself and Brunhilde quickly bowing before him while having trouble keeping her composure.
* DropTheHammer: Well, ''[[UrExample duh]]''. {{Mjolnir}} is easily twice its wielder's size but still retains a normal hammer's proportions. There's a handle built ''into'' the handle just so Thor's hands can have a firm grasp on it.
* EvilRedhead: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Thor is an antagonist, but he's more uncaring rather than outright evil.
* FastAsLightning: Being the God of Thunder, Thor is capable of moving at the speed of lightning. His technique, "Thor's Hammer", involves using his element to increase the power and speed of the swing of his hammer.
* FieryRedhead: Like the Norse myths, he's depicted with red hair, but is stoic than most examples. The "fiery" part appears once Lü Bu starts matching him through the fight, showing his more [[BloodKnight battle-hungry side.]]
* FieryStoic: Once his emotions get riled up when his opponent actually challenges him, Thor still keeps most of his expressions in a stone-faced manner.
* GodOfThunder: As usual, Thor is a thunder god.
* {{Hunk}}: Like in the myths where Thor is also regarded as the Norse God of Strength, this version is ''utterly'' '''ripped''' as well.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: Once Lu Bu shows that he can easily react and block against his Thor's Hammer technique and was able to injure him, Thor starts to unleash his full power after one of his gloves was destroyed and the awakening of Mjolnir.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: He kills Incubus in the very first chapter and considering how the former is a SmugSnake who's planning to sexually assault Brunhilde, it was totally warranted.
* LivingWeapon: As revealed in his one-to-one fight against Lu Bu, Mjolnir "awoke" from its slumber along with its veins pulsing along with the ground ''melting'' by the sheer power it emits alone.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He has a youthful-looking face and long flowing red hair.
* NotSoStoic: Though he is presented as a serious and quiet individual, once his battle with Lü Bu gets more intense, he starts to enjoy it more and smiles more frequently.
* OneHitKill: The three named techniques he used his battle against Lü Bu are said to be capable of this.
* PerpetualFrowner: Doesn't really express himself often other than a frown, until his fight against Lü Bu.
* PowerLimiter: In contrast to the myths, his gloves are this. Instead of strengthening him so that he could always lift Mjolnir, they instead ''restrict'' his strength so that he didn't shatter Mjolnir [[GatheringSteam before it reaches full power.]]
* SadlyMythtaken: An InUniverse example. In the myths, Járngreipr is stated to allow Thor to wield Mjolnir's incredible power, but Zeus clarifies that the gloves' true purpose is the ''exact'' opposite.
* ShockAndAwe: He is the God of Thunder after all, but Thor doesn't utilize lightning towards Lü Bu unless in conjunction with the swing of his hammer.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: To show that he's a divinity, his eyes are golden-colored. Combines this with BlackEyesOfCrazy, which makes him look imposing.
* StarterVillain: As a result of being the first of the gods to fight in Ragnarok, Thor ends becoming the first antagonist to be confronted in the manga. Unlike the usual trope, however, is clear Thor is a force to reckon with and is not a weakling by any means, [[spoiler:even managing to win his round and keep living.]]
* TheStoic: In comparison to most depictions of him, this Thor is shockingly cold, even when he's enjoying himself.
* TechnicolorEyes: Has black sclera and golden eyes.
* ThunderHammer: Mjölnir is a massive hammer larger than Thor's entire body. Thor can channel electricity through the hammer, making his swings even more powerful and devastating.
* VictoryIsBoring: It's mentioned that most of his prior battles in Asgard were [[SingleStrokeBattle Single Stroke Battles]], leaving him unfulfilled through the centuries. It's only while fighting Lü Bu that he's able to indulge [[BloodKnight his thirst for battle.]]
* WeaponTwirling: He ''weaponizes'' this through his "Geirröd" and "Geirröd Thor's Hammer" techniques. For the former, he flings Mjolnir into the air with all of his might and then recalling it back to him to slam it onto his opponent, with the added great velocity and centrifugal force to it. The latter is when he combines the former with his "Thor's Hammer" technique, causing greater damage than either one.
* WhenHeSmiles: He gives the finest smile when unleashing his Geirröd technique onto Lü Bu.
* WorldsStrongestMan: He's regarded as the physically strongest God in the Norse myths.
* WorthyOpponent: Quickly comes to consider Lü Bu this as their fight progresses, even saying that the latter's strength is wasted in his mortal body.

The supreme God of the Greek Pantheon, chairman of the Council of Valhalla, proclaimed "God Father Of Cosmos" and the strongest God of them all. Despite his frail and shriveled appearance, he's a battle-hungry powerhouse strong enough to surpass time itself with a single punch. Among the Gods, he's the second one to fight in Ragnarok.
----
* AdaptationalUgliness: Zeus is usually portrayed in the Greek myths as an elder yet muscular and handsome deity, unlike the shriveled and trembling old man this Zeus looks. To his credit, he was [[IWasQuiteTheLooker a lot more handsome in his youth]].
* AskAStupidQuestion: When he asks Adam of his reason to fight against the Heavens despite not possessing malice towards them, the latter's response pretty much spells out how he views this from everyone believing the same thing and clarifies that he doesn't need a reason like that, but to protect the ones he loved.
* BareFistedMonk: Unlike his counterpart in mythology, Zeus here fights using his bare-handed fists, according to him "because he loves to hear the sound of the bones of his enemies breaking". He was like that in his youth too, as he defeated his father without any weapon but his own body.
* BeardOfEvil: Possesses a white, long beard that enhances his elderly aspect. It doubles as ExpressiveHair, as it usually reacts to whatever emotion Zeus is feeling at the moment.
* BigBad: As the leader of the Gods, he acts as the main antagonist of the series. Unlike other examples, however, his fight happens early in the series, [[spoiler:though he keeps the position as the main antagonist since he wins the battle.]]
* BigOlEyebrows: Extremely so. His eyebrows are so thick and big that in some panels they cover his eyes entirely. He also had thick eyebrows in his youth, but not even close to the extent they are at his current age.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: His eyes normally appear to be completely sunken, without showing any kind of pupils, though a glimpse of them can be seen from time to time (normally appearing as BlackEyesOfCrazy). Whether it is the result of age (he didn't have them when he was young) is anyone's guess.
* BloodKnight: Zeus forces Shiva to sit out his appointed fight, jumping in to fight the second match in Shiva's place, simply because he couldn't wait for his turn. When he realizes Adam's PowerCopying means he's essentially fighting [[MirrorMatch a mirror of himself]], he's beside himself with joy.
* BodyHorror: As a result of compressing his muscles to gain power, his Adamas form turns him into a shriveled and disturbingly lanky version of his muscled form, ending with a grotesque result.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Normally appears as an eccentric and frail old man, but he is the God Father of Cosmos for something, being a powerful fighter with a monstrous strength able to subjugate both Ares and an Ambrosia-powered Alcides without getting serious. The only way someone could match and even surpass him is by copying his power.
* CurbStompCushion: [[spoiler: For the first half of the fight, he can't lay a hit on Adam, getting beaten down even when he temporarily stops time due to the Eyes of the Lord copying his moves and reversing them on him. However, the minute he goes Adamas Mode, the fight becomes more even with him being able to land blows and eventually winning out the war of attrition due to Adam's power backlash occurring.]]
* DirtyOldMan: Very [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] compared to his usual portrayal in the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek Mythology]]. Though he shows lust, it is usually [[BloodKnight for battle]], not for sex. He, however, gazes lustfully at Brunhilde when he discovers the whole ruse behind the Volunds, much to her annoyance.
* TheDreaded: As the supreme God, his might alone strikes fear into nearly everyone. Even ''Shiva'', the Hindu God of Destruction is quite scared of him.
* DubPersonalityChange: In the original Japanese, Zeus sounds like a raspy, stereotypical old man. The English dub, on the other hand, gives him a much more regal sounding and sophisticated voice while keeping his eccentricity.
* ElementalMotifs: He doesn't wield lightning compare to the myths, but his [[FastAsLightning godly speed can bring to mind the element]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his first appearance, he at first appears acting as a frail old man, but later he's shown to kill his pet dragon easily after hearing Brunhilde's idea of Ragnarok and then slamming the ground with his mallet while making an unhinged face, showing both his silly side and his more brutal personality.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He's shown to be genuinely supportive of Heracles, even if he's not his son in this version. [[spoiler: He looks very upset after Heracles dies in his fight against Jack the Ripper, destroying the terrace where he, Hermes, Ares and Loki were after the end of the battle in a fit of [[TranquilFury calm rage]]]].
* EveryoneHasStandards: Battle-hungry as he is, he'll stop fights between his fellow gods if need be.
* EvilIsBigger: His muscular battle form dwarfs Adam by a large margin (helped by Adam not being very tall himself). Ironically, he was on the receiving end of this when he killed his father Cronos in his youth, as, while Zeus was by no means a short individual, the Titan was gigantic.
* EvilOldFolks: He's portrayed as an elderly looking God advocating for the annihilation of humanity and is also generally referred as "gramps" or "old geezer" by his fellow Gods, though, ironically, he's not the oldest of the Gods despite looking like it.
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: How he appeared to those in life, where Alcides was surprised by Zeus' true appearance compared to how he has depicted in the statue that the Greeks prayed to and worshipped.
* FinalBoss: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. He was supposed to be the last of the Gods to fight in Ragnarok, but after the first match, he got so excited to fight that he forced Shiva to retire and he ended up fighting in the second round instead. Even Göll asked surprised to her sister what was the last boss doing in the second fight as opposed to the last one.
* HourOfPower: His Adamas form ramps up his durability to NighInvulnerable levels, but cannot be used for long periods of time or he'll die from the self-destructive strain.
* HulkingOut: While he initially appears as nothing more than a feeble old man, when he exercises his immense strength he grotesquely morphs into a muscle-bound behemoth.
* IWasQuiteTheLooker: He definitely doesn't ''look'' like the shriveled old man he looks like in the present time during the time when he overthrew his own father.
* KickTheDog: During the first chapter, he kills his pet dragon (whom he had since it was a baby, as shown in Heracles's flashback) just because he was excited at the prospect of a fight between Gods and humans.
* LaughablyEvil: Sometimes, his antics end being amusing as they are terrifying. One example is his introduction during his battle in Ragnarok, where he appears dancing extravagantly (while Hermes plays a melody in his violin) to make a memorable entrance.
* LeanAndMean: Contrary to his usual muscular and bulky battle form, his Adamas mode is lean and trim (as a result of compressing all the muscles of his body). However, this gives him an even bigger strength.
* LightningBruiser: Contrary to what his muscular form may suggest at first, he's able to move at incredible speeds and even surpasses time itself with a single punch, while also being able to pack devastating blows.
* NeckSnap: Has his neck snapped completely around during his fight with Adam. And then he ''gets back up and snaps it back into place.''
* NightmareFace: Makes lots of them through the run of the manga, especially in his fight against Adam. Usually involves a combination of his BlackEyesOfEvil with an open, menacing black mouth.
* {{Patricide}}: He's well known for overthrowing and killing his father Chronos.
* PsychopathicManchild: His antics certainly veer into this territory at times.
* ScarsAreForever: If you are keen enough, you can realize that the wound Kronos gave to his chin formed a scar. It's more evident in his Adamas mode, where his chin gets fully exposed.
* SiblingYinYang: Compared to his older brother Poseidon, he's emotional, HotBlooded, likes attention, and loves a good fight, while Poseidon is serious, cold, despises drawing the attention of "lesser beings" and couldn't care less about having a good battle.
* SlasherSmile: As a result of having all his muscles greatly compressed, he sports one of these in his Adamas mode. It is horrifying enough to make a human baby from the audience to cry.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Zeus at first may come as a battle hungry brute, but he's surprisingly cunning in battle, and, so far, is the only God that has changed his strategy through his fight, going from trying to kill his enemy with brute force and speed to force a battle of attrition after realizing that he wouldn't go anywhere if he kept attacking Adam directly. [[spoiler: His gamble ends succeeding.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: Is this for Brunhilde in regards to her plans for Adam. The original plan was for Adam to deal with Shiva and bring the first win to the mortals, however, Zeus, who after the fight of Thor got incredibly excited at the prospect of a good battle, interrupted and forced Shiva to quit, as he simply couldn't wait for his turn and was too eager to fight. Adam gave him a good battle and even had the upper hand at certain points [[spoiler: but Zeus' techniques end up killing Adam anyway, giving the victory to Zeus and effectively ruining Brunhilde's plan for good.]]
* StrongerThanTheyLook: '''DO NOT''' mistake his usual frail, senior appearance as someone who's weak. He's the ''God Father of Cosmos'' after all, and all of the Gods are quite intimidated by his power.
* TinyHeadedBehemoth: When he bulks up, his head remains tiny compared to his huge, muscular body, making him look unsettling.
* TopGod: Like in the classical mythology, he's the most powerful Greek God and rules over the Olympians. This version is also depicted as the supreme God of every deity of every mythology, being feared even by other powerful Gods like Shiva.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Unlike the myths, Zeus is ''not'' Heracles' birth father.
* VillainRespect: He considered Kronos a horrible father, but admired his skills as a warrior, so he ended up naming his punch that surpasses time in his honor. [[spoiler: Later he was shown to have developed respect for Adam even if he lost the match, since he standed on his feet until the bitter end and managed to bend him (the strongest God) to his knees despite dying imitating Adamas.]]
* YoungerThanHeLooks: Granted that all the gods are eons old, Zeus is actually the youngest of Chronos and Rhea's four sons despite being a skin and bones wrinkled old man physically.
* YoungestChildWins: He received the status of TopGod for killing Chronos, putting him as ''de facto'' leader of the Olympiad over his three older brothers.

!!Poseidon
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/TakahiroSakurai (Japanese), Creator/BumperRobinson (English), Creator/IrwinDaayan (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/poseidon_record_of_ragnarok.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''The Ruler of The Seas'']]
The Greek God of the Sea and one of the older brothers of Zeus. A fearsome deity is known for his disdain towards both humans and Gods alike. Very prideful and rigid on what a God should be, doesn't doubt to punish those who stray from his personal path of perfection. Among the Gods, he's the third one to fight in Ragnarok.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: When Kojiro finally analyzes and understands all his movements, he manages to [[spoiler: cut one of his arms with his ''Swallow Tiger Combo, Thousand Blades'', then proceeds to cut the other when Poseidon tried to attack him by holding his trident with his other hand.]]
* AnimalMotifs: He's indirectly compared with a [[ThreateningShark shark]] towards the end of his fight with Kojiro, due them representing the ferociousness and danger of the cold, deep ocean, the domain of Poseidon.
* AssholeVictim: Considering his disdain towards humans and Gods alike, that he murdered his own brother in cold blood for a petty reason (and then erased his existence from the history), and that he spent most of the fight looking down and taunting his opponent, very few tears were shed when [[spoiler:Kojiro cut him into pieces and he died an ignominious death. Even the Gods were more shocked to see him losing than feeling sadness for his death, and, though the Greek Gods wanted to avenge him, it was more to redeem themselves for the humiliation of Poseidon's defeat than for any genuine love for the guy.]]
* AvengingTheVillain: [[spoiler:After his death, the Greek Gods decide to take revenge for the humiliation they suffered by sending Heracles as the champion of the Gods for the next round.]]
* AttackAttackAttack: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. He always consistently thrusts his spear to pierce his opponent and doesn't change his approach, which ends up getting him killed.
* {{Bishonen}}: In contrast to his elderly looking younger brother, Poseidon is a fair-faced man with curled hair and a toned build.
* DeaderThanDead: His eventual fate after dying against Kojiro in Ragnarok.
* DefiantToTheEnd: To his credit, he goes down swinging. When he loses his dominant trident hand, he just switches to the other. When ''the other'' hand is taken off, he switches to his ''teeth'' and lunges at Kojiro in a futile effort. When he's left with just his head, he curses Kojiro with his dying breath.
* ElementalMotifs: As if it wasn't already obvious, but all of his techniques don't utilize his element despite their naming.
* EvilIsPetty: His reason for killing Adamas and erasing his existence throughout history? All because he feels that his older brother never fit in his views of perfection.
* {{Fratricide}}: It turns out that Poseidon was not one of three brothers as myth dictates, but one of four-- Adamas, a psychopathic MonsterClown god, is this missing brother. Poseidon kills him because he thinks Adamas brings shame on the Gods' name for being inferior in his eyes.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:In a fate mirroring his brother Adamas, Poseidon is killed by having his torso bisected from the rest of his body.]]
* HatesEveryoneEqually: While he feels nothing but disdain towards humans, he also has enormous contempt for his fellow Gods too, considering them nothing but fools who cannot get what makes a God a God. This also extends to his close family, as he didn't have any issue in killing his brother Adamas once he confirmed he didn't meet his expectations of what a God should be.
* HateSink: Is pretty much devoid of any likable or redeeming characteristics, making it all the easier to cheer when [[spoiler: Kojiro kills him]].
* HumansAreInsects: While nearly all of the gods believe humanity to be beneath them, Poseidon takes this much further in his fight against Kojiro, to the point where he doesn't unleash his full power against him. In fact, unlike with Thor and Zeus who complimented their human opponents, Poseidon dies cursing him.
* {{Jerkass}}: Is cold towards everyone and has no compassion or respect for anyone, usually treating those whom he deigns to talk with hate and disrespect.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Not only is he killed by one of the humans he despised so much, but the one who killed him was the one regarded as the biggest loser of humankind, adding more salt to the wound.]]
* MakingASplash: He ''is'' the god of the seas, after all, but has only used his ability to manipulate the water in his introduction.
* NotSoStoic: The only times he shows a different face other than a scowl is first when he wounds Kojiro for the first time, showing a sadistic smile and calling him a piece of shit, then, [[spoiler:after Kojiro manages to wound him for the first time, he displays one hell of a [[SlasherSmile menacing grin]], indicating Kojiro that he was going to pay for daring to slash him.]]
* OlderThanHeLooks: Despite having the appearance of a youthful young man, he's older than his brother Zeus, who looks like a decrepit old man.
* PerpetualFrowner: His usual expression is a serious face of disgust towards anyone who dares to interact with him.
* PragmaticVillainy: It should be noted that Poseidon could've also manipulated the water around the arena to completely drown Kojiro rather than continuing to use the same method of stabbing him with his trident, but since the ruler of the seas views his human opponent to be so beneath him in his eyes, it would be safe to say that a perfect being such as himself shouldn't bother with the effort of using his element.
* {{Pride}}: His defining characteristic. For him, a God has to be a perfect being that has no need for human necessities (like followers, wealth, an army...), and he holds great pride in not only projecting this image to others but for other Gods to follow his example. His arrogance is that, he never goes serious on a "lowly human" like Kojiro, not even bothering to use his [[MakingASplash water manipulating powers]] at any point of the fight. [[spoiler:This proves to be his downfall.]]
* ProngsOfPoseidon: Being the TropeNamer himself, he has a trident as his personal WeaponOfChoice.
* RedOniBlueOni: Has this dynamic with his rival Kojiro. Poseidon is the cold, serious, and unfriendly blue, while Kojiro is the outgoing, cheerful and friendly red. This is further reflected in their clothes. Poseidon wears a blue battle armor, while Kojiro possesses clothing with calid colors such as red and yellow.
* SiblingYinYang: Compared to his younger brother Zeus, he's serious, cold, despises drawing the attention of "lesser beings" and couldn't care less about having a good battle, while Zeus is emotional, HotBlooded, likes attention, and loves a good fight.
* SinisterWhistling: For some reason, he has the habit to whistle before attacking.
* TheSociopath: He cares for no one but himself, never respecting or acknowledging his older brother even as an ''infant'', killing him for being an ''embarrassment'', and afterward, [[{{Unperson}} made sure that he was forgotten throughout history]].
* StaticCharacter: Invoked. Since he sees himself as a perfect being, Poseidon finds no need for growth nor change in his outlook. This ends up [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] in his fight against the ever [[TookALevelInBadass evolving]] and [[OlderAndWiser enlightening]] Kojiro.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Believing that Kojiro was nothing but a lowly human, he got easy on him and, through the fight, he limited himself to throw his trident at him and little more. However, soon Kojiro proved to be more than a match to him, and not even after [[spoiler: he manages to cut one of his arms does he change his battle strategy. This proves to be his undoing, as Kojiro's dynamic fighting style quickly ended up killing him once he landed a lethal hit on him.]]
* UndignifiedDeath: Unlike [[spoiler:the other losers of the matches of Ragnarok (such as Lü Bu, Adam or Heracles), who went out with honor and even were recognized by their opponents after their deaths, Poseidon was butchered like a fish, had his corpse cut into pieces, died cursing his rival, and Kojiro ended up feeling pity for him due to his disdain towards his followers rather than feel honored to have fought against the strongest opponent he met in his whole existence, being happier for the fact that he won a real battle for once.]] So much for the "perfect God".
* UnskilledButStrong: While the rest of the gods are generally StrongAndSkilled, Poseidon's {{pride}} in the belief that, as a god, he is automatically perfect means that he never bothered to hone his skills, instead choosing to rely on his natural strength. [[spoiler:This belief ultimately ends up biting him in the ass in the end]].
* VillainousBreakdown: After Kojiro finally gets under his skin for getting a cut on him, Poseidon's develops a screaming hatred of him because he doesn't want to have lost to a lesser being.
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: When it comes down to his fight against Kojiro, Poseidon's method of attack is to always consecutively thrust his trident forward to pierce him. If that doesn't work and he later gets serious? Use more speed in his attacks to overwhelm him, rinse, and repeat. [[spoiler:[[{{Deconstructed|trope}} It basically screwed him over in the end]].]]
* TheWorfEffect: His loss and death at the hands of Kojiro is the turning point for the gods to realized the ''[[ThisIsReality reality]]'' that they could lose in Ragnarok.

!!Heracles
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heracles_record_of_ragnarok_6.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''The Envoy of Justice'']] [[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see his Twelfth Labour]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hound_of_hades.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
A former human named Alcides who became a demi-god after drinking from the blood of Zeus, now holding the title of Greek God of Fortitude. The most righteous God and one of the few divinities who is an advocate of saving humankind, though he fights for the side of the Gods. Among the Gods, he's the fourth one to fight in Ragnarok.
----
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: He gets this from both sides. [[spoiler:His death causes a lot of tears from humanity and the gods with even Brunhilde crying from his death.]]
* AdaptationalHeroism: Similar to some [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} adapt]][[Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys ations]], this version of Heracles is far from how he was portrayed in the myths and is a straight-up bonafide IdealHero among the gods and humanity.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Compare to the myths where he accidentally kills close friends and innocent people for simply being too close in proximity when his temper got the better of him and [[CantTakeCriticism is willing to go to war over a mere verbal insult]], this version of Heracles is a GentleGiant who takes his newfound godly strength seriously and is always a champion of righteousness.
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: He was born as a human who later became a God instead of being born as a demi-god who later ascends to Godhood.
* AllLovingHero: He not only possesses a deep love for humanity despite all their flaws but is determined to find a way to save them if he wins, even declaring that he will save even Jack the Ripper himself.
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Gets his left arm sliced off when trying to block an ImprovisedWeapon thrown at him by Jack, not knowing that the object is a divine weapon.]]
* AncientGrome: Averted. He's known by his Greek name rather than the more popular and well-known "Hercules", which is his ''Roman'' name. Despite this, some fan scanlations still refer to him by his Roman name.
* AntiVillain: He fights for the side of the Gods, but is motivated to save humanity even if he wins in Ragnarok.
* BarbarianLongHair: He has long, spiky hair that reaches his waist.
* TheBigGuy: Heracles is ''huge''. Göll is around the size of a human teenager, and Heracles' ''arm'' is as big as her whole body.
* BigOlEyebrows: Though not to the extent of Zeus, his eyebrows are also noticeably thick.
* BlowYouAway: The Sixth Labor, the Birds of Stymphalia, allows Heracles to create a large gust of wind with his club. He first uses it to blow Jack's FlechetteStorm of throwing knives back at him
* TheBrute: Unlike with Thor, Heracles inverts this for his heroic nature.
* CarryABigStick: Carries a club, as in the myths. It becomes something of a MorphWeapon when he uses his special attacks, manifesting the faces of creatures encountered on his 12 Labors.
* DeaderThanDead: His eventual fate when Jack The Ripper kills him by impaling his hands through him.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Unlike the myths, he was fully human until he drank the Ambrosia.
* {{Determinator}}: As Ares can attest, this is Heracles' main trait, whether it'll be upholding his ideals or going through life-threatening situations.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: As Heimdall puts it, he's the representant of the Gods during the last phase of the early stage of the tournament, making him the last big obstacle to beat during the first phase of the tournament.
* DumbMuscle: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Heracles is not really stupid, but his hot blooded personality often makes him act carelessly and charge straight towards his enemies without thinking first, trying to solve things with brute strength alone. This gets him into troubles many times through his battle with Jack.
* EvilRedhead: Greatly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]]. He fights for the side of the Gods but does so with the expectation of convincing them to spare humans if he wins his battle. Other than that, he is a benevolent character and his red hair is more related to the [[RedIsHeroic heroic version of the color]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity: When he has the opportunity to take Jack The Ripper out with him to make the match a draw, Heracles instead chooses to embrace him instead, letting himself die in so that humanity can have another win.
* FeelNoPain: In spite that his ability slowly kills him (while also causing Heracles an unimaginable pain as the tattoo who marks his usage of the 12 Labours grows and grows) and that [[spoiler: he later loses an arm]], he continues fighting without even showing the slightest sign that he's suffering from his wounds and power.
* FieryRedhead: Has red hair and is very HotBlooded.
* ForGreatJustice: His one main goal in life to the point Heimdall calls him, the greatest hero.
* FriendlyEnemy: Brunhilde and Göll consider Heracles like a brother, owing to their shared status as demigods. [[spoiler:Both are left crying when he dies.]]
* FusionDance: His final technique, "Hounds of Hades" sees him perform this with Cerberus to maximize his strength to even greater limits. The catch is that it constantly burns through his life and cannot be undone, making it a SuicideAttack even if it succeeds.
* GoodIsNotDumb: He may be a HotBlooded IdealHero who fights ForGreatJustice and can be a bit dim at certain times, Heracles is '''not''' unaware ''or'' naive of the atrocities humanity is capable of to each other, considering his divine position and responsibility of guiding the righteousness of them himself.
* HappilyAdopted: In spite of being born as a normal human being, he was well received by the other Gods and his adoptive divine family is shown to be loving and supportive of him despite not being born as a God. [[spoiler: They are genuinely devastated when he dies at the end of his battle.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: He could've killed his opponent in order to tie the match, but chooses to die out of love for humanity.
* HeroicSpirit: '''All. The. Time.''' He will always take the hardest route in regards to becoming stronger. This trait is further shown near the end of his battle against Jack The Ripper, where Heracles unleashed the final technique that would eventually kill him in exchange for greater power. Thus why he has the title '''God of Fortitude'''.
* HonorBeforeReason: Heracules is a deeply honorable man that [[spoiler:even his last moment could have killed Jack but decided to hug him to give humanity another victory]].
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Jack kills him after impaling him with his blood-powered Volund gloves, after feigning a feint with the fence he used to impale himself, no less.]]
* InnocentBlueEyes: As the paradigm of justice and honor, he is given bright blue eyes (though he is not a fool and is aware of the evil humans can commit). This contrasts with [[RedEyesTakeWarning Jack's red right eye]].
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: For the anime, Heracles makes a brief appearance at the end of Season One.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: [[spoiler: The only reaction he shows after just having his arm cut is a face of [[DullSurprise slight surprise]], regaining his composure seconds after that.]]
* MarkedChange: His right torso is covered in tattoos marking his accomplishments. Every time he uses one of his [[SignatureMove Signature Moves]], the tattoo expands painfully to cover more of his body. If it grows to cover his whole body, [[CastFromLifespan he'll die.]]
* MeaningfulRename: He was born as Alcides until changing his name to Heracles in respect to Zeus' wife after being adopted into the family.
* TheParagon: This Heracles is the overall representative of goodness and justice for both Gods and Humans. He will do what he must for his people and always believes in the best of Man, even though he knows how cruel they can get.
* RedIsHeroic: His hair is reddish and he is undoubtedly the most benign of the Gods. Also mixes this with FieryRedhead.
* SkilledButNaive: Heracles is a powerful God with a a great strength, a more versatile arsenal than other of his kind and with a record of mighty monsters killed by his hands. However, since he always fought his enemies in straight battles of brute strength, he's unprepared for oponnents who resort to more complex tactics and fight dirty. As such, he's surpassed and grievously injured by Jack (who is precisely the kind of person who employs the aforementioned strategies) many times in their battle due his lack of experience against these type of fighters.
* StockShonenHero: Though not the actual protagonist, Heracles pretty much plays this all of the basic tropes straight.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Is the only god who's not a jerk and actually loves Humanity despite being on the side of gods who want to destroy them.
* TranshumanTreachery: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. He became a God to guide humans for the right path, and that hasn't change in Ragnarok, vowing to win his fight to convince the Gods to spare mankind.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: He's Zeus' ''adoptive'' son rather than his full-blooded one in the myths.
* VillainRespect: He's not really a villain, but Heracles has a deep respect for Lü Bu, Adam, and Sasaki Kojiro's abilities and sees them worthy to represent humanity in Ragnarok. He also starts to see Jack as this when the latter continues to fight despite his "cowardly" tactics.
* WartsAndAll: His proclamation to humanity in Chapter 27. While he's aware of the deep-seated corruption and flaws Humanity as a whole has, he ultimately once was human and holds nothing but unconditional love for it.
* WildCard: Despite representing the Gods in Ragnarok, Heracles isn't fully on their side and stated to Loki that he's always on the side of justice.
!!Tropes that apply to him prior to his ascension to Godhood.
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alcides.png]][[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see him as Alcides (Post-Training)]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/muscular_alcides.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see him as Alcides after he drank the Ambrosia]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alcides_after_drinking_the_ambrosia.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
----
* BullyHunter: He would often defend those being picked on or abused unfairly.
* BarbarianLongHair: His hair grew long and flowing after drinking the Ambrosia.
* {{Determinator}}: Alcides would always do the right thing, no matter how stupid or insane it was. He even faced off against Ares before taking the Ambrosia as he found the Gods' actions are wrong.
* NothingButSkinAndBones: His original appearance before undergoing intensive training that would lead him into gaining a HeroicBuild.
* SicklyChildGrewUpStrong: Much like Comicbook/CaptainAmerica, Heracules was born with a very weak body as a mortal, but after years of determination and hard training, he gains a HeroicBuild and then comes the event where he drinks the Ambrosia.
* TooDumbToLive: The narration mentions that Alcides always took the hardest path possible in order to improve himself, sometimes taking incredibly dumb and dangerous approaches to certain situations (such as charging straight to a boar the size of a T. Rex that dwarfs him by a large margin), to the point his best friend Castor even wonders if there's something wrong with him. Fortunately for him, this ends paying off and he ends developing a strong physique as a result.
* TookALevelInBadass: His backstory is basically him taking several levels in badassery as his life goes on. He starts as a weak and scrawny kid who, with effort and persistence, manages to become a strong and respected man. Then, after drinking the Ambrosia to stop the massacre that Ares was about to perform in Thebes, he becomes a demigod strong enough to defeat all the invading troops by himself and give Ares a good beatdown. Lastly, after finishing his 12 Labours, he finally becomes a full-fledged God.
* TrainingFromHell: Goes through this in life as Alcides, with the narration referring to him as someone who always taking the hardest path to achieve his goals. Once we see the results with his muscular build and later with his ascension into godhood, one can say that it definitely paid off.

The Hindu God of Creation and Destruction. Arrogant and battle-loving, tried to participate in Ragnarok in the early stages, though his first attempts were unsuccessful. Among the Gods, he's the fifth one to fight in Ragnarok.
----
%%* AdaptationDyeJob: He has blue skin canonically (as he's usually portrayed in mythology), but some stickers of the manga depicted him with brown skin.
* AffablyEvil: While Shiva is more arrogant and haughty than outright evil, he quickly comes to respect Raiden's strength and is rather friendly throughout their fight. [[spoiler:This becomes a detriment though, as he even allows Raiden several opportunities to either take a quick breather or power up rather than attack while he is wide open, wishing to meet his attacks head on. He ends up taking a lot of unnecessary damage because of it. This behavior leaves Ares baffled, but Hermes finds it to be a charming aspect of Shiva's character.]]
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: As shown in colour illustrations, his skin is the mythology-accurate blue.
* AnArmAndALeg: Having four arms makes him susceptible to this, [[spoiler:as he first loses use of one arm after Raiden crushes it within his grip, and then loses two more when they are torn off by the sheer power of Raiden's forbidden technique after he tries to block it.]]
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Chapter 37 reveals that he used to be regarded as a lower deity and rose up to become the leader of the Indian gods after defeating the other gods which included his best friend, Rudra.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Or rather, black eye of crazy. The four eyes he has on his face have a normal, white sclera, but the ThirdEye on his forehead has a black one, possibly hinting it is the source of his power.
* BloodKnight: The tournament's stakes and excitement have gotten Shiva extremely invested in the fighting. When Zeus forces him to switch places with him, it takes a lot of convincing (read: threatening) for him to back down. Shiva even goes as far as to say that Zeus would have to fight ''him'' to take his spot.
* ButtMonkey:
** For much of his early appearances his whole screentime consisted of being interrupted and frustrated by the Greek Gods anytime he tried to take part in Ragnarok, to his chagrin. [[ThrowTheDogABone He finally has the chance to prove his strength in the fifth round of the tournament]], facing Raiden Tameemon. [[spoiler:Even then, he and his fight with Raiden gets slightly overshadowed by the WhamEpisode and near face-off of Loki and the Seven Lucky Gods versus Buddha, Sasaki, and Souji.
** Subverted when he actually [[spoiler: wins his match against Raiden, showing WHY he is the top god of the Indian pantheon.]]
* CatchPhrase: In Japanese, he has ''shouganee na'' ("looks like I don't have a choice").
* DanceBattler: [[spoiler:Eventually, his trump card is revealed to be the "Hidden Treasure of Svarga", a frantic and unpredictable fast dance that allows Shiva to attack quickly from many different sides, making him able to strike his enemies multiple times without them realizing where the hits come from.]]
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:In the later stages of the fight, Shiva is forced to use his ultimate ability, Samsara War Dance - Ashes, which burns his body at an incredible temperature and increases his physical abilities at the cost of literally burning away his own body with prolonged use. This blowback is referred to as Tandava Karma, referencing the concept in Hindu mythology of Shiva burning away his own body as he destroys the world in order to rebuild it from his ashes.]]
* DecompositeCharacter: Shiva and Rudra are considered the same character in Hindu Mythology. Here, Rudra and Shiva are different characters who performed the same feats together, Shiva only stepping up to his current status when Rudra fights and loses to him. [[spoiler:His usurping of Rudra's legend is referenced when his nickname is given to Shiva after losing, much like the rest of the gods they fought and bested.]] Then again, Rudra was his own god before being absorbed into the canon, so it might be a case of an originally composite character becoming a decomposite.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: The opponents that Shiva and Rudra defeated on their ascent to Svarga's peak came to be their TrueCompanions, who followed and supported their journey until it's end. The only exception was Rudra himself, who departed from Svarga after his defeat against Shiva, leaving his best friend behind.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Back before Alcides's ascension to Godhood, he considered Loki's suggestion of killing all the humans to be excessive, instead proposing to go to Thebes to "teach them a small lesson".
* ExtraEyes: Possesses five, the two normal eyes humans have, a ThirdEye on his forehead and two other more under his first pair. He has those ones closed unless he's genuinely surprised, normally appearing as some kind of FacialMarkings when he's calm.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: When he was about to face Adam he said that, if he didn't calm himself down, he would turn his rival in a pile of ashes, foreshadowing his fire-based fighting style.]]
* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Even after losing three of his arms, Shiva continues being a powerful fighter and thanks to the dexterity of his legs, he's able to move gracefully despite losing the capacity to punch. He even manages to win his fight thanks to a combination of his [[DanceBattler Hidden Treasure of Svarga]] with his [[SuperMode Tandava Karma]].]]
* HellishPupils: The pupils of the eyes on his face are slitted like those of a snake, while his ThirdEye normally takes a horizontal shape, like that of a goat (though it sometimes depicted as vertical). Like with other Gods, this is likely done to show that he's an inhuman being.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: And BloodBrothers, with Rudra.
* HeyYou: Throughout his fight with Raiden Taneemon, Shiva never once refers to him by name and prefers to call him "Human". It's only at the end of the fight, when he's fought Raiden to his limits and finally comes to respect him, that he calls him by his full name.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: He at first acts defiant to Zeus when he tried to take his turn in the second round of Ragnarok, but after seeing that Zeus was completely serious about participating in that round, he prefers to retire and let him fight than to confront the God Father of Cosmos. Later he does the same upon seeing the wrath of the Greek Gods after [[spoiler:they announce their desire to avenge Poseidon's defeat by sending Heracles as their champion]], at the expense of Shiva, who wanted to participate in the fourth round.
* MadeOfIron: He takes two direct hits to the face from the superhumanly strong Raiden without taking much in the way of damage.
* MagicPants: Shiva using his Tandava dance to set himself on fire doesn't burn away his clothing. [[spoiler:Taken even further when he activates Tandava Karma and is engulfed by intense fire that burns away the surroundings. Even his head wrap is burned away, but his pants stay intact while they are dramatically covered in flames.]]
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: In the vein of the Hindu deities, he's portrayed with four arms.
* NightmareFace: He's shown to be able to make scary expressions by opening all his eyes at the same time.
* NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech: After witnessing Raiden's resolve and seeing his friend Rudra supporting him from the sidelines, Shiva gives a brief speech about all that he is fighting for before [[spoiler: activating his most destructive technique to give the battle everything he has. This [[CallBack calls back]] to his fight with Rudra where he couldn't bring himself to fight all out despite his friend's unbreakable resolve, wounding Rudra's pride far worse than any physical pain. He doesn't repeat the same mistake with Raiden and uses his maximum power against an opponent who is also giving everything he has, allowing them both to have the greatest fight of their lives.]]
* NotSoDifferent: As the fight nears its climax, Brunhilde notes that both Shiva and Raiden are men whose strength increases exponentially when they have others that they are fighting for, even destroying their own bodies so they don't let their loved ones down.
* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler:His Tandava technique is achieved when the dancing of the Hidden Treasure of Svarga gets so intense it makes his body burn and combust, increasing the potency of his attacks. It's hot enough to cauterize wounds in seconds after inflicting a deep wound.]]
* {{Polyamory}}: Chapter 32 shows his wife, Parvati cheering him on with his two consorts Kali and Durga. This is mythologically accurate with the manga cutting out that Kali and Durga are aspects of Parvati
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Shiva weaponizes this trope, as he can imbue his strikes with the spirits of his TrueCompanions to increase his strength.
* PowerTattoo: The tattoos along his arms and hands are revealed to be power markers, ones that Rudra gifted to him after stepping down.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Shiva makes good use of his four arms by attacking Raiden with flurries of punches. Even losing the use of one arm doesn't slow down his barrage as the fight gets more serious.
* RecliningReigner: Shiva is first introduced in chapter 1 sprawled out on a lavish mattress during the Council of Gods, highlighting his decadent and hedonistic nature as the top god of his pantheon. He is later seen throughout the series casually reclining on whatever he is sitting on. His flashback shows that he had a habit of lounging around even as a low-level deity before ascending to the peak of Svarga, implying it's a habit out of laziness rather than pure arrogance.
* RedIsViolent: [[spoiler:Shiva's most destructive ability turns his body red from the incredible heat it exudes.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Shiva had this dynamic with Rudra in the past, serving as the Blue Oni to Rudra's Red. Shiva was a lazy god who had no aspirations beyond relaxing and having a good time dancing, while Rudra was driven solely by his dream, unwilling to grow complacent in his role and desiring to reach the top of Svarga. Rudra convinced Shiva to join him on his journey, and their opposing views came to a head when they reached the top and fought, with Shiva being clearly superior but unwilling to accept his role as leader, while Rudra gave everything he had to win, but was simply not strong enough despite his resolve towards achieving his dream.
* RoundhouseKick: Shiva's ''Deva Loka'' move is a flaming roundhouse kick that he uses in conjunction with his Tandava war dances. [[spoiler:He uses this move to end the fight, first splitting apart Raiden's arm and then [[OffWithHisHead decapitating him with it.]]]]
* RuleOfThree: Gets stopped three times in a row by the Greek Gods whenever he tries to take part in Ragnarok before finally getting his chance to fight.
* SuperMode: [[spoiler:Shiva's final technique, Samsara War Dance, uses Tandava Karma to increase his body heat until he turns red and improves his physical abilities considerably at the cost of burning away his own body.]]
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Like with Thor and Zeus, his eyes are also golden-colored, though unlike them, he has white sclera save for his ThirdEye.
* ThereCanBeOnlyOne: Despite he and Rudra defeating over 1000 Indian gods together, they come to the conclusion that only one of them needs to be on the throne of India. Shiva wins, and receives Rudra's powers.
* ThirdEye: He possesses one in his forehead, as he's usually portrayed in mythology. Actually [[{{SubvertedTrope}} subverted]], it would be actually the fifth eye, as he has another pair of eyes under the ones he normally shows. [[spoiler:When Shiva activates his ultimate destructive ability, all five eyes are seen dramatically lighting up as his body transforms.]]
* ThrowTheDogABone: After being blue-balled ''[[RuleOfThree thrice]]'' in a row, he finally gets a chance to fight in the fifth round. [[spoiler:He wins his match against Raiden despite losing three of his arms.]]
* VillainRespect: [[spoiler:After the fight has been decided and Shiva is about to deliver the finishing blow, he genuinely thanks Raiden for allowing them both to have the greatest fight of their lives.]]
* WreathedInFlames: [[spoiler:The Tandava technique sets Shiva's body on fire from the intensity of his dancing, increasing the power and effectiveness of the Hidden Treasure of Svarga. Taken UpToEleven with the Samsara War Dance, which uses Tandava Karma to heat up his body until it turns red, surrounding his body in flames so hot that they even force a fellow god like Heimdall to flee the arena.]]

!!Bishamonten
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bishamonten.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Divine Punishment'']]
The Japanese God of fortune in war and battles, as well as one of the 7 Lucky Gods, being their leader. He was set to participate in Ragnarok at first, and does indeed comes for Round 6, however, something unexpected happened...
----
* TheAssimilator: [[spoiler:Rather than fusing with the other Lucky Gods in a more traditional way, he absorbs them from the back of his back. It is hinted by the appearance he takes after fusing with each god that he adopts their abilities, though Zerofuku resembles a younger version of Bishamonten rather than any of the other six.]]
* BadassArmfold: UpToEleven. It's his default position, staying like that during the whole battle of Buddha and the Einherjar against Loki and the other Seven Lucky Gods. He only drops it twice, the first for a few panels where Zeus and Odin appear to stop the brawl, after which he resumes while leaving, and the second when [[spoiler:he and the rest of the Seven Lucky Gods enter the ring and fuse back into Zerofuku]].
* BestServedCold: [[spoiler: After Zerofuku divided himself into the Seven Lucky Gods, the other six wanted to take revenge on Buddha immediately. Bishamonten, however, tells them that is not the right moment yet before leaving, indicating he was waiting for the perfect moment to execute his revenge.]] He finally gets his chance in Ragnarok.
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:The way he fuses with the other six Lucky Gods is by absorbing them into his body, with each god absorbed deforming and rearranging his body until they take their final form: Zerofuku.]]
* CoolMask: Sports an extremely intimidating mask that helps build him up.
* CoolShip: He makes his entrance into the arena on board the ''Takarabune'', the mythical flying ship piloted by the Seven Lucky Gods in Japanese folklore.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Though he takes his job as the Executioner of Heaven seriously, he's against senseless killing.
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:Right before his battle against Buddha, he fuses with the rest of the seven lucky gods to become Zerofuku, their original form.]]
* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: He along with his other six subordinates acts as the personal executioner from Heaven, judging those who dare to betray the gods. Despite this role, he is against needless violence towards those who haven't been judged and stops Ebisu from picking a fight with Jack.
* TheLeader: As the god of fortune in battle and patron of warriors, he's the leader and most powerful member of the Seven Lucky Gods.
* OverlyLongName: [[spoiler:Each time he fuses with one of the seven lucky gods his new form is given a name that combines aeach of the gods that is a part of it. After all seven merge together they have the name; Bishamonebisuhoteibenzaitenjuroujinfukurokujudaikokuten.]]
* PerpetualFrowner: His face remains in a perpetual scowl, thing that makes him more intimidating.
* TheQuietOne: Barely says or does anything during the fight of Buddha, Kojiro, Kondo and Okita against Loki and the Seven Lucky Gods, staying in the background and letting Loki and Ebisu take the initiative.
* RapunzelHair: Male example; his long, black hair reaches past his waist.
* SimpleStaff: The only weapon he's seen carrying is a ''khakkhara'' (a Buddhist staff topped with metal rings). He doesn't gets to use it, however, as he [[spoiler:fuses into Zerofuku with the other six Lucky Gods as soon as he arrives to the arena.]]
* TheStoic: He rarely loses his cool, even while in presence of [[TheDreaded Zeus and Odin]], being the only individual in the brawl of Buddha, the Einherjar, Loki and the Seven Lucky Gods (along with Buddha himself) who doesn't shits his pants under their intimidating aura.
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:Zerofuku is this, as knowing of his mere existence spoils the reveal that the Seven Lucky Gods are, in fact, actually all one being]].
!!Zerofuku
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20210228_192922.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''God of Misfortune'']]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see his pre-corruption look]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/young_zerofuku_7.PNG]][[/labelnote]]]]
A God of Misfortune and the original form of Bishamonten and the Seven Lucky Gods. A bloodthirsty combatant who wants nothing more than to humiliate and kill the one person who showed him up: Buddha.
----
* AnAxeToGrind: After becoming Zerofuku, he draws out a massive axe, Misery Cleaver, out of his body to fight Buddha with.
* AxeCrazy: The first thing he says when he emerges in-stadium is pondering how he wants to introduce the concept of killing the Buddha. When the actual fight starts, things get even worse. Funnily enough, he uses an axe as his WeaponOfChoice.
* TheBerserker: His fight style consists in wildly swinging his Misery Cleaver to the enemy without any kind of strategy or ruse, keeping attacking savagely until landing a hit.
* BishonenLine: The huge and imposing Bishamonten takes the form of a youthful yet eerie looking kid as Zerofuku after taking some grotesque forms while fusing with the other Lucky Gods.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Once he snapped, Zerofuku's eyes became this, signifying his descent to depravity.
* BodyHorror: He forms his axe, Misery Cleaver, from his body by grotesquely drawing out a large chunk of flesh out of his back.
* CanonForeigner: Zerofuku is a character created for the manga and there are no signs of his existence in mythology.
* CatchPhrase: He retains the Seven Lucky Gods' use of the term "tenchu" (divine punishment).
* DarkIsEvil: Contrary to his past self of fairer hair and normal eyes, his current version has dark parts of hair, [[BlackEyesOfCrazy his eyes now feature black sclera]], he got black marks around his eyes and hole and uses misery as his main source of power.
* EmpathicWeapon: His axe is able to absorb misery around it, including Zerofuku's, in order to make itself larger.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: His crusade to kill humans stopped before it even began, as he prevents himself from killing a mother and her child by ripping himself into seven.
* EvilIsBigger: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Unlike the towering Bishamonten, Zerofuku, being a child, is actually shorter than his opponent Buddha.
* EvilIsPetty: Weaponized. His pettiness makes even the smallest missteps and misses will enhance his Misery Cleaver.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: His Misery Cleaver is revealed to have eyes on its shaft. The worst part is that they [[BodyHorror appear to be moving and looking in many different directions]].
* FacialMarkings: He has two thin black stripes coming under his eyes, along with the root of the kanji for fortune (福) on his cheeks.
* ForHappiness: He loved all the Earth's living beings, wishing for their happiness and attempting to grant it by taking the source of their ills away. Unfortunately, he didn't understand that taking away situational misfortunes didn't make the people he helped spiritually fulfilled.
* GreenEyedMonster: The main reason behind his feud against Buddha is the jealousy he feels after he, a former human, was able to do the job given to him in a more effective way.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Just when he manages to revert to his benevolent old self thanks to Buddha making him realize he needed to love himself, his horns turn into dragons and swallow him into an egg-shaped cocoon, leaving way for Hajun to take his place in the sixth match and making his current state unknown.
* MorphWeapon: His Misery Cleaver is able to change its shape according to what Zerofuku is feeling. As such, the cleaver is able to adopt many different forms, from a much bigger version of the original axe to a huge blade with several spikes protruding from it.
* NightmareFace: Compared to [[TheStoic Bisha]][[PerpetualFrowner mon]][[TheQuietOne ten]], when he first appears, he's sporting what can best be described as a rather creepy SlasherSmile. He later displays a wide arrange of disturbing expressions both during his flashback and during the fight against Buddha.
* ThePowerOfHate: His main ability allows him to absorb all the misfortune around him to power up his ax, including his own. As an individual with such deep hatred for Buddha and who generates a lot of misery just from things as simple as not hitting Buddha with his attacks, he can power up his Misery Cleaver so much it increases its size to gigantic proportions.
* PsychopathicManchild: After all these years, the Zerofuku that emerges for the tournament is still that frustrated child from millennia ago who can't let go of his grudge.
* RageBreakingPoint: While he was upset that his fortune couldn't truly make people happy, what really broke him was the fact that a human could so easily bring happiness ''and'' personal fortune to his followers when he could not do the same. As a god, no greater humiliation could be met.
* TheResenter: His main motivation to participate in Ragnarok is to get back at Buddha for leading humans into happiness better than him, waiting centuries to have his chance.
* SanitySlippage: Before being corrupted, Zerofuku was a sane and sweet deity. His current misfortune-induced self pretty much threw away his sanity down the drain.
* SevenDeadlySins: He expels seven essences of misfortune, each named after one of the Sins after he awoke to his malicious side. To represent this, he has seven beads in his hair, each with the kanji for the seven sins written on them.
* UnknownRival: To the Buddha. Even when he was split into the Seven Lucky Gods, his seething hatred for the Buddha was carried by them to the present.
* UnusualEars: His ears have a very long inferior lobe, ironically giving him a similar appearance to the one given to Buddha (his opponent) in real-life portrayals.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: When he was still a young god, he was cheerful, all-loving, and self-sacrificial. He helped any misfortunate person he came across, taking all of their misfortune energy into himself.
* VillainousBreakdown: While he's not mentally stable by any means when Buddha goes to avoid all of his attacks while hitting him constantly in Chapter 46, he really loses the little sanity he has.
-->'''Zerofuku:''' ''Dammit! Miss! Miss! Miss! Miss! I just keep missing!''
* WalkingSpoiler: His inclusion on the roster at all spoils the fact that Bishamonten isn't going to be fighting in the tournament... at least, in the traditional sense.
* WhatHaveIBecome: As mad as he was when he decided to turn his back on humanity, enough of his conscience remained to split himself up into seven pieces before he could hurt anyone. Upon the split, one of the first things the seven mentions is how he doesn't get like that often.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He was once a benevolent, sweet and caring divinity, but the result his actions brought to humans and the realization that Buddha (a human) did a better job bringing happiness to people than him turned him into a depraved figure.
!!Hajun
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hajun_shuumatsu.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Demon Lord of the Sixth Heaven'']]
One of the demons of Buddhism and the berserker of the Netherworld. Appears mysteriously after Zerofuku gets redeemed by Buddha, devouring the God of Misfortune and replacing him for the sixth round.
----
* DemonicPossession: Appears to do this to Zerofuku by inserting an enlarged pair of horns that were off of Zerofuku's original self then emerges from his body in the form of two dragons, and then encasing him in a scaled spherical cocoon before bursting out from it.
* EvilIsBigger: Unlike Zerofuku, he's way taller than Buddha, in one panel appearing like if Buddha only reaches to [[UpToEleven his legs]].
* FacialMarkings: Like Zerofuku, he has two black stripes going down his eyes, though his stripes also go above them too. Additionally, he has two "V"-shaped marks on his forehead.
* HornedHumanoid: True to his demonic nature, he has a pair of big horns similar to those of a buffalo protruding from his head.
* TheStoic: Appears to be more similar in personality to the quiet Bishamonten than to the deranged Zerofuku, calmly announcing Buddha the he will receive divine retribution.
* WalkingSpoiler: An even bigger one than Zerofuku. If learning about Zerofuku's existence before Round 6 spoils you about the true fighter of the gods for that round, knowing about this guy before the sixth battle spoils you of the twist that the fight doesn't ends with Zerofuku's redemption.

[[caption-width-right:350:''The Supreme Norse God'']]
The supreme and most important God of the Norse Pantheon. A stoic and unmoved divinity with the appearance of an old man, he's set to participate in Ragnarok at some point.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Odin's light-colored hair in the manga is changed to black for the anime.
* BadassBeard: As usual for portrayals of Odin both in mythology and fiction, this one sports a magnificent white beard. May double as BeardOfEvil too, since he also advocated for the extinction of humankind.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Like his son Thor, his design features a single eye with black sclera. We still don't know if they also share the same [[SupernaturalGoldEyes golden-colored eyes]], however.
* TheDragon: Not confirmed, but his status amongst the gods and his aura of authority gives this image more than the other Olympians.
* EvilOldFolks: Though not shown as emaciated as Zeus, he's still portrayed as an elderly God and one that wants the extinction of the humans.
* EyepatchOfPower: He is depicted having one, possibly referencing the fact that Odin is often portrayed as having only one eye in mythology. Time will tell if he has hidden something under it or if he wears it because he is indeed one-eyed.
* LargeAndInCharge: One of the most esteemed divine patriarchs, and one of the tallest.
* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler: After showing some instances of losing his cool through the second and third fight, he finally leaves aside his composed self and shows one hell of a [[SlasherSmile deranged grin]] in chapter 34.]]
* PerpetualFrowner: His face rarely changes from a dead-serious expression.
* TheQuietOne: He barely says anything, and instead lets his crows talk for him. He's only been seen speaking in matters involving the other Norse gods, such as addressing Thor before his fight or breaking up the brawl between Loki, the Seven Lucky Gods and Buddha.
* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler: Flashes an impressive one in chapter 34 after the battle of Buddha, the Einherjar, Loki, and the Seven Lucky Gods is stopped and them, along with Zeus, return to watch the battle of Raiden and Shiva, for reasons yet unknown.]]
* TheStoic: '''Nothing''' ever fazes this guy, always having the same serious expression on his face. At best, he only shows slight displeasure. Notably, the only two times he expresses true surprise are first when [[spoiler:Adam takes Zeus's punch to pinpoint where his opponent was (since he went blind of overusing his power)]] and later [[spoiler: when Kojiro cuts both of Poseidon arms along with his trident.]]
* WalkingWasteland: He can rot away his surroundings with a thought.

* ParrotPetPosition: They always appear sit on the shoulders of their master, very rarely leaving them.

The Norse God of Trickery and Deceit. Likes to tease both God and humans alike, and seems to respect none of them. He's set to participate in Ragnarok at some point.
----
* ChainPain: Uses chained hooks as his weapons of choice.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Fittingly, Loki's appearance is androgynous to the extent that it's hard to tell ''what'' he is.
* LeanAndMean: Unlike the other Gods participating in the tournament (who have incredibly muscular or toned bodies), his physique is very slender.
* MulticoloredHair: His hair is dark, except for a single lock of hair that is lighter than the rest.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: During the times of Alcides, during the council of the Gods where they decided if to spare humankind or not, he suggests to kill them all as they did with the Tower of Babel, [[EvenEvilHasStandards to the disgust of Shiva]].
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: He drops his mocking and playful attitude when Kojiro kills Poseidon, saying that the fact a human was able to slay a God "wasn't a joke anymore".]]
* PerpetualSmiler: He's almost always seeing with a mocking smile on his face. This starts to change after [[spoiler: the deaths of Poseidon and Heracles, where he realizes that the Gods can indeed be defeated by mortals.]]
* ThinkingUpPortals: Loki can teleport between locations by traveling through portals he creates. He also has portals in the palms of his hands to summon his weapons from.
* {{Transmutation}}: Loki is seen casually altering the state of two drinking glasses during the second round, changing their shapes to resemble the heads of Zeus and Adam.
* TheTrickster: Naturally. His first appears trying to strangle Huginn and Munnin in the guise of Thor. Later, [[KickTheDog he taunts Heracles about fighting to exterminate the humans he's so endeared to]], only to have become annoyed when Heracles remains unaffected.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: He suffers a wordless one when Buddha declares he will be fighting for humanity, glaring with pure hatred.]]
* VillainousFriendship: Despite being from different pantheons, he's seen hanging out with the Greek gods without any problem. He's close enough with them to casually sit on the massive shoulder of Ares for much of the fourth round.
* VillainRespect: [[spoiler: He ends up developing begrudging respect for Jack the Ripper of all people, after he's unable to see through his trick of letting himself get wounded by the fence to use the blood of his wound as a technique from his Volund, even expressing that, despite being the God of Deceit and Trickery, he was unable to see through Jack's ruse.]]

A demon with a penchant for science. He's set to participate in Ragnarok at some point.
----
* AnimalMotifs: True to his title of "Lord of the Flies" in mythos, the big image of a fly can be seen on the door leading to his room.
* DarkIsEvil: His hair, clothes and eyes are predominantly black and, from the little we have seen of him, he definitely looks like a sinister individual.
* MadDoctor: In addition to his mad scientist persona, some medical tools can be seen on his room, implying he may be a (nightmarish) doctor too.
* MadScientist: Some gruesome experiments can be found on his room (including some grotesque fetuses kept in jars and what looks like a dog with some kind of parasite in the place where the snout should be), indicating he uses science for evil.
* PeekABangs: His hair cover his right eye, though you can get a small glimpse of it if you focus enough.
* SinisterMinister: Despite his involvement with science, his attire is some kind of black clerical robe, giving him the image of a priest.
* VillainousGlutton: Beelzebub is regarded as the patron demon of Gluttony in many traditions, with the state of his chamber suggesting an insatiable hunger, although not for food, but for knowledge.
