'Record Of Ragnarok' 51 Summary: The End Of The Sixth Bout Is Nigh [Spoilers]

The latest chapter of the “Record of Ragnarok” manga has been released, featuring an explosive exchange of blows between two unlikely combatants and plenty of close calls that may be suggesting the end of the round is very near.

Chapter 51 Summary

“Record of Ragnarok” chapter 51 picks up right where the previous one ended, with the legendary demon Hajun nearly killing Buddha after piercing through his once-impenetrable shield. Buddha lost his left eye in the attack but avoided certain death as Hajun’s attack apparently went straight through where his head once was.

Buddha and Hajun proceeded to fight at an otherworldly pace, stunning the audience in the process. The fight was evenly matched despite Buddha’s injury, but Hajun had the advantage. Buddha was eventually overpowered, suffering several minor wounds in the process.

The other gods, still in awe at Hajun’s capabilities, began speculating exactly who or what the demon really is.

Lord Hades mentioned that Hajun was a boogeyman-type fictional character who destroyed half of Helheim long ago. He also believes that Beelzebub purposefully infected a young Zerofuku with a parasite that eventually turned the kind god into the demon Buddha faces now.

After Hajun taunted Buddha about how he digested Zerofuku, causing the carefree god to go into a state of deep hatred, Buddha’s hatred transformed his weapon into a rocket-powered war scythe that the other gods said was able to cleave targets in one blow.

This proved insufficient, as Hajun blocked the scythe with his left arm and stabbed Buddha through the stomach with the other. However, Buddha’s resolve allowed him to push through the pain and assert his dominance against the legendary demon, ending the chapter in a cliffhanger.

Chapter 52 Predictions and Release Date

It’s likely that the battle between Hajun and Buddha will end in the next chapter. Buddha is all out of options and is already left with his strongest weapon to fight with. He knows now that Hajun can be wounded and killed, and it’s only a matter of landing a decisive blow to win the fight.

On the other hand, Hajun is still an extremely powerful enemy. The manga is somewhat notorious for being unpredictable with its fights, so it’s still possible that the match will end in Buddha’s gruesome demise.

“Record of Ragnarok” updates once a month. The official Japanese version releases on the 25th of each month, and on rare occasions, the authors release two chapters instead of one. The series is officially published by Comic Zenon in Japan.
