* HiddenAgendaHero: While Odin is helping humanity fight the Pillars, his ultimate motives are still largely unknown, with some Walküres voicing skepticism that he actually has humanity's best interests in mind.

In 2019, a mysterious entity known as The Pillars appear over Scandinavia, threatening the existence of every living being on Earth. Humanity was at a complete loss in how to fight back until the god [[Myth/NorseMythology Odin]] appears in front of the world leaders at a global summit discussing The Pillars, providing humanity Walküres herocraft as their wings.

Several years later, the battle between humanity and Pillars rages on, with men supporting the Walküres as they soar through the treacherous skies to save the world.

Japan has also become a battlefront, with the Primary Pillar standing over Mt. Fuji, and the 3 Walküres, [[RagtagBunchofMisfits who are skilled but problematic]], fight against it. One day, an AcePilot is reassigned to their base from Europe...

Also there is an ongoing manga spinoff titled ''Senyoku no Sigrdrifa Non-Scramble'' by Abe Kanari published on ''Monthly Comic Alive'' as well as a second spinoff titled ''Senyoku no Sigrdrifa Kyogeki no Eiyuu'' on ''Comic Hu'' by Nogami Takeshi which focuses on the fight against Pillars before the Walküres came into the scene.
