![]() ![]() The mental toll of Divine Reflection is what ultimately kills Adam. Adam dominates the fight while Zeus gets a taste of his own medicine. So, Adam is not only able to predict and dodge Zeus’ every move, but he can also recreate his attacks and deal them back to Zeus. Adam is armed with the power of “Divine Reflection,” which enables him to copy any skill from the gods. The fight itself is actually pretty one-sided, but not in the way most would expect. It is out of complete, selfless parental love that he steps into the arena. Rather, as the father of all mankind, he sees it as his responsibility to protect his children from annihilation. The twist is that Adam doesn’t bear any hatred towards the gods. RELATED: The 6 Best Netflix Original AnimeĪdam’s known hatred for the gods stems from when he and Eve were cast out of paradise due to the false claim made by the serpent god, which is humiliating for the couple. But he’s also surprisingly indifferent and calm even when facing Zeus. When he enters the arena, he eats an apple (the forbidden fruit) and spits it out, seemingly displaying his disdain towards the gods. On the other hand, Adam is touted by the announcer Heimdall as the greatest hater of the gods. His entrance into the arena is accompanied by fellow god Hermes’ violin rendition of Bach’s "Air on the G String" along with dancing and fireworks. As the king of gods, Zeus is pompous, egotistical and an absolute showman. If we consider the fights in Record of Ragnarok to be a clash of personalities, then the best fight - hands down - is the one between Adam and Zeus. The fact that this is Kojiro’s first ever victory just makes the conclusion even more impactful in Record of Ragnarok. ![]() He is what makes this fight entertaining: His backstory about his quest to learn from everything, the way he enjoys gaining knowledge by losing, as well as how he carries the legacy of everyone he’s ever fought is not only inspirational but also quite moving. ![]() Luckily, Kojiro has enough personality for both of them. He is defined by his arrogance and nothing else - more of an unmovable obstacle that Kojiro must tackle rather than an actual character. The biggest problem with this fight is Poseidon’s overall boring personality. The fight finishes in the most brutal way, with Kojiro cutting off both of Poseidon’s arms and his torso into quarters. But Kojiro’s Valkyrie, Hrist, uses her special skill, "re-Völundr," to recreate two swords, and he’s able to turn the tide around. Kojiro is a skillful swordsman while Poseidon is an all-powerful god, so few are surprised when Poseidon breaks Kojiro’s sword in half. This fight has some ups and downs and is unpredictable as a result. RELATED: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Jotaro Kujo's 5 Best Fight Scenes, Ranked
