Record of Ragnarok: THE NEW ROSTER

[T51R]

SO when Brunhilde is drawing up her roster for the Ragnarok tournament, she gets a personal visit from a "God" that nobody invited: Q. Who decides to torment humanity again because they seem to have overlooked his invitation. He deletes Brunhilde's roster from existence, and challenges her to create a 100% win record with human fighters.

The catch? He throws open the entire multiverse and invites her to choose the strongest of humanity, from all realities!

And since Brunhilde and Goll don't know anything about the rest of the multiverse, they recruit YOU. Who will aid them in selecting new fighters that are Volund-compatible with the Valkaryes.

Who do you recommend? Will your recommendations pass Brunhilde's sniff test? And, can they live up to Q's challenge of 100% victory over the Gods?

It's 13 per side, right?

Welp... going for a 100% win rate here and trying to stick as closely to the brief of "normal human," as possible.

- Saitama
- The Flash
- Mash Burnedead

Off the top of my head.

No offence but the OP stated the challenge is "to create a 100% win record with human fighters." They didn't say anything about the fighters having to be "normal" humans.

And who's to say what's "normal" anyway? How many people can run as fast as Usain Bolt? Does that mean he isn't a normal human?

So while the likes of Optimus Prime, Superman, Goku and such are out due to them not being biologically human, someone like the Flash should be perfectly acceptable.

I don't get what your point is? I followed the brief, all three are specifically "normal".

Saitama and Mash both don't have any genetic traits or differences that make them non-human but are both wildly beyond the curve for any of the gods shown in Shuumatsu no Valkyrie so far. Similarly, Flash has a connection to the speed force but his biology is completely human.

I did think about dropping Toriko in, as he's an absolute beast, but I figured that the presence of Gourmet Cells and his Appetite Demons might make him not count as human enough since he is different on a cellular level to a conventional human.

Also thought about Alita from Battle Angel Alita but she's distinctly post-human which, again, feels like it goes against the spirit of the thread.

[hareluyafan1]

I don't get what your point is?

My point is you seemed unsure if characters with super-powers (for example the Flash) were acceptable or not. I'm reassuring you that yes they are. The only restriction is that characters who are not biologically human can't be used. For example Autobots or Kryptonians.

I followed the brief, all three are specifically "normal".

Again, the word "normal" is NOT stated in the brief. It only states that they need to be "human." Read what it actually says:

The word "normal" is not used at any point. You're imposing a restriction upon yourself that isn't there.

Saitama and Mash both don't have any genetic traits or differences that make them non-human but are both wildly beyond the curve for any of the gods shown in Shuumatsu no Valkyrie so far. Similarly, Flash has a connection to the speed force but his biology is completely human.

That's what I said!

[Nik Hasta]

That's what I said!

Yeah, that's what I also said?

I don't get why you're reacting so strongly to me going "Well, these people have abilities that aren't tied to them being genetically distinct from a regular human, they are in fact biologically mundane," I used the term "normal" to shorthand that.

Why are you coming at me with a bunch of bold text and saying I'm imposing a restriction or changing the thread?

[Sharpandpointies]

Heck, if it comes to 'they were once human but now are super-powered beings', there's a whole host of characters in fiction who are going to absolutely murder the gods, here. Seems too easy.

Let's add to the list.

- Saitama
- The Flash
- Mash Burnedead
- Classic Doctor Strange

In honor of Nik going for 'close to normal human as possible' just to make things a little harder, I've added my own nomination. Huge surprise, I'm sure.

[Jcogginsa]

Val Armorr seems like an obvious choice

[The Dog]

Since Saiyans aren't viable for this, we'll go for the strongest human of the DragonBall universe: Krillin.

Feel free to bend the rules, its in the spirit of the thread since its ultimately Brunhilde that you'll have to impress. And she is, as we've seen, more than happy to not just bend, but push. You just have to give her a way to qualify a fighter that she'll be happy with.

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

I want Owen Deathstalker. The Gods of Ragnarok have some broken abilities, so we need a man who’s low-key cosmic. Who dances through Time and Space and Dimensions. Who can appear on the bridges of hundreds of ships all at once (physically), and who can take out starships on his lone-some. Who stood up against a Galactus like entity and survived, and in a weaker form reached across light years to essentially force choke a fool.

[hareluyafan1]

Because the use of the word "normal" implies that characters like the Flash who have super-powers shouldn't be included, or that it's somehow problematic to include them. The OP said no such thing. You should have clarified what you meant.

Also you said:

I followed the brief, all three are specifically "normal".

That was inaccurate. The OP did not even use the word "normal." It only said they needed to be human fighters. You were complicating things needlessly.

I don't get why you are making a big deal out of this. You said something that was inaccurate and I pointed it out.

That being said I am sorry if I have upset you.

Mate, I'm not the one making a big deal out of this? I am genuinely confused as to what you're objecting to here.

I put the word normal in quotes to imply that it specifically was a misnomer and followed that up by listing Mash Burnedead, Saitama and the Flash as so-called "normal" humans that I would put into the team.

Flash can run faster than light, Saitama can kick country-sized craters in the moon, Mash can wrestle kaiju and fly just by doing sick air kicks, they all have abilities far in excess of a regular human.

I don't see how I'm complicating anything. It really feels like you just misread my original post and kicked off for no reason.

Well, his mom was human.
