I’m guessing Heimdall is announcing because he can see all so he can see everything that happens accurately

The fact that you never mention Aphrodite at any point in the video makes me think it's 100% accurate that she always had a pair of manservants on-hand to carry around her massive boobs in Greek Myth.

Big props to the original Japanese dub, as Heimdall actually pronounces Heracles in the proper Greek form as well

I love that you make it clear that inaccuracies doesn’t mean bad. Especially in anime as it’s done on purpose sometimes

It was a real missed opportunity not making Loki the serpent that tricked Eve

I like to imagine Able forgave Cain after they both ended up in the afterlife. "Hey sorry, Able, I didn't know you wouldn't wake up" "Ah it's cool. Shit happens"

Mythologyguy: I guess the bifrost isn’t in this show Nostradamus: 🤭

26:10 You got mixed up on this one, Sasaki was the one to have creation as his teacher, while Musashi was the one to walk the lonely road.

As much as I like Poseidon in this series, I find it odd that they didn't just use the Egyptian god Sett for this role. - Prideful King - Brother Killer - Feared By Many Would have helped to give the fights more variety instead of having 3 Greek gods in a row.

I loved that “His name is HERACLES” bit, it actually got a laugh out of me.

I'm pretty sure the reason Posiedon never used his water powers was because of how arrogant the shows depiction of him is. Poseidon's fundamental ideology was that the gods were perfect and needn't change, he saw humans as lesser and thus never believed he could be defeated by one. Even to the end, he didnt want to really go all out because his pride was more important to him, and needing to use his full power against a lesser would certainly stain his pride. It can be seen even after Sasaki kills him, when he calls Sasaki a loser despite being dead.

The Hercules name is a dub thing. In Japanese, his name is shown as ヘラクレス, as seen in 27:31. It's read as Herakuresu, which, given the ambiguity of the pronunciation, it could either translate as Heracles or Hercules, but I'm leaning more toward Heracles.

Fun fact, they call him Heracles in the manga, they changed it in the anime, probably because Hercules is a far more recognisable name

One more thing regarding Shiva, His third eye was suppose to be closed all time. And he only opens it when he wants to do his tandava (dance) to destroy.

Krsna wasn't necessarily "slain" by getting Overpowered by some Mortal Hunter. He had caused his one death aswell as death of his proud descendants. I would advise to read the story of Hunter Jara and Krsna. To maintain the Order of the curse Gandhari inflicted Krsna with, Krsna knowingly did it all. Everything in Sanatana Dharma has a predestined Order. Jara was incarnation of Bali, who Visnu slayed by shooting arrow, when he was in Rama avatar

I thought it made sense that Poseidon would be an ill-tempered God considering that he was swallowed as a baby, got stuck with controlling the seas (a job he didn't want) and there's the whole thing with Odysseus. I always saw him as a God whose emotions really tie in with the element they control. Like the sea he can go from being calm and serene to stormy and harsh in minutes

One little detail about the serpent that I liked was the fact that Adam didn't kill him when he cut him up, but he made him loose his limbs to reflect the original fate of the serpent.

What record of ragnarok got wrong:just about everything

I always saw the choice to make Zeus old as a way to show an aftereffect to all his "adventures" as he looks so much older than his brothers

22:59 Correct me if I'm wrong but Poseidon IS known to be "The Wrathful God of the Seas and Oceans". Like there was actually sacrifices for him to make sure you would not enrage him while sailing the seas (their actual explanation for sea storms during Greek times). That's the exact reason the trojan horse worked during the trojan war. They where thinking it was a gift for Poseidon.

I don't know if this was confirmed or it's just fan theories, but I think the reason why Zeus looks so old compared to everyone else is because of his fight with Chronos. It could happen that, since the gods were inside Chronos, time passed slower, and that’s why they look so young. But it could also happen that, during his fight with Zeus, Chronos made time go by faster, making Zeus aged faster.

Do more inaccuracy of mythology related content. This was so entertaining and since this is a mush of all Mythology, I learned a lot more.

I love Record of Ragnarok and it’s creativity, but it has so many inaccuracies, and I was always thinking about you eventually doing an inaccuracy video on it.

For the point about Loki calling Zeus grampa, I think it is more of a translation issue than anything else. In Japanese it's common to say "gramps" instead of "old man" etc. even when there is no relation. Probably would have come across easier if you watched it subbed instead of dubbed(my guess, haven't watched it).

22:58 Poseidon's wrath was feared, being the god of the sea. He could make things much much difficult. Odyssey was lost in sea because he incurred his anger. So in a way, it is true.

His reaction to shiva and Zeus was crazy can’t wait for what he says about shiva’s round

Loved the video! Hope there is a part 2

The Mythology Guy. Another great video. One of my favorites.

I love when UKpostsrs make the sponsers fun to watch, so you don't skip jt

I like how they just created a blue 5 eyed character and just ended up calling him Shiva. Like it is said the day Shiva's third eye opens he will tranform into Rudra and destroy all creation. And here he's casually opening it when a old guy stops him.

mannnnn i love mythology and your channel is making me love it even more.

According to the anime, the souls in "Valhalla" take their peak form when they were alive, so that's probably why Iori looks like a child despite dying at 65.

Fun fact: in the German dub the names are said accurately, for example Heracles, Hajun and the cleaver of misery or whatever it's called, except Bishamonten which is still Vishravana or something like That, but it makes sense since Vishravana is Bishamonten's japanese Buddhist name as far as I know...

The only reason I can think of them making Zeus a super old man is due to the anime trope of the super old mentor figure being a huge pervert. And Zeus is a huge pervert so the design makes sense if you think of it that way.

I hope you keep these inaccuracies videos coming, regardless of whatever they are. You are awesome!

15:48 To be fair, maybe Hermes was talking about the melody itself, rather than specifically playing it on a violin.

The reason why Apollo didn't play a tune for Zeus was because Apollo is currently fighting King Leonidas in Round 9 in the manga. He's a boxer fighter rather than an archer since the creators said that a range fight would be boring so they made him box, referencing Apollo as the God of Sports

Mythological guy = the Accuracy god

Fantastic video found you from your shorts ❤

can't wait for your inaccuracies in season 2 man lmao i love it

22:14 I think this might just be a direct translation from the Japanese version of the story. Calling an older man Grandfather or “Jiji” is usually a way to show respect to that person, not necessarily denoting that you are related to them, though in other cases the term “Jiji” can be used as an insult to an older man. I think the delivery of Loki’s voice actor is what makes it come across that they sound related, but in Record of Ragnarok, they aren’t related at all, due to being from different pantheons, as you pointed out.

Adam is one of the best characters I've seen in recent animes and he actually made me proud to be a human. Him saying what reason does he need to defend his children and losing actually brought a tear to my eye

My best compliment for this show is how you never know how the fight is going to sway. For someone who hasn’t read the manga, I genuinely couldn’t predict the winner in each fight. Can’t wait for the next season

@themythologyguy thanks for your deep knowledge of the myths

I am so glad that you mentioned the case of how Shiva oughta be able to easily slap Zeus around like nothing.

To be fair, Adam was not naked, he was clad with a fig leave, which implies he had shame and covered up - also Hermes only said it's been several millenias since he played that tune --- doesn't necessarily mean its a tune that can only be played on a violin

A detail I liked was that this show shows its own version of how the serpent lost its legs. Instead of it being God, it was Adam. I don't know if this was intentional or not or if I'm just stretching the facts to make a theory, but Adam and Poseidon look very similar. Since RoR is trying to say that Poseidon is more fearsome than Zeus, and he is still older than him, I feel like he was the god that Adam was modeled after.

love your content! love to see that sub count going up and up.

I kinda like the Record of Ragnarok twist on mythology, places them in such a way that all mythologys are equal in power when in reality they would be a giant power gap.

You know, you should start making merchandise about the "Golden ichor" considering all the time it's brought up. Like a shirt with the phrase "i'm a god cause i bleed golden ichor".

Honestly was waiting for this video on the channel. Can't for inaccuracies of season 2

i think the reason for zeus looking like a 90 year old grandpa is that his adamas form crushes his muscles and has drawbacks like we see at the end of the fight so if he used it a lot it would explain why he looks the oldest while being the youngest out of the 4 brothers, also in some flashbacks we see a younger zeus that hasnt used the form as many times so he looks younger compared to his brothers

I think the water around the arena was for dramatic effect. I haven't seen the anime but in the manga they prelude to that by making the waves go crazy when poseidon enters but when Kojiro enters the scene and unsheathes his sword the water calmed down, as if he "slayed" it metaphorically implying that he finally conquered and defeated water, which took his life in the "myths" 🤔

Thank you for correcting the Hercules thing, I am tired of doing it myself

27:32 in the original dubbing (japanese) they call Heracles XD

While I also noticed a lot of inconsistency in this show I really enjoyed their take on mythology! Please continue on to season 2! Side note: maybe Zeus looks old because he chooses too? Kinda like how he can change his form, maybe he takes on the appearance of an old man because that’s what everyone sees him as.

In the manga they explained that every character can choose how they gonna look like since this is the afterlife

Please make another video for season 2 and part 2❤️❤️ i loved this one.. A lot ❤️🔥

Record of Ragnarok: *breathes* TMG: InCoRrEcT!! Honestly I'm surprised you managed to fit all this in a mere 30 minute vid. Whenever anime or animation in general depicts mythology I immediately assume it's gonna warped beyond recognition.

I think for series like this that takes lots of creative liberties it would be better to do a "mythological accuracies" alongside pointing the concepts adopted by the series and how it handle things

I think the fear of poseidon comes from his roman counterpart neptun where he was indeed feared due to his mood

Please do more of theses this is great

we need more of this

Zeus overpowering Shiva is the most laughable thing I've seen😅🤣😂 I know it's fun and all but come on😂 they should've brought in something like Azathoth from Cthulhu Mythos. GREAT VIDEO!!!

While I like lu bu in ror I can say that they took a lot of creative freedom with him here. While he is strong in the Three kingdoms he's also one of the biggest scum if that era. Betraying everyone he ever served (even fate takes that into consideration) and killing anyone in his path, either friend or foe. He wasn't a honorable warrior, not even close to it and after the battle of hu lao gate he got an endless streak of losing to everybody until cao cao kill him like in the series. Chen gong is well depicted here as a lu bu simp but I felt like they could have brought diao Chan there also.

Great Video Congratulations For getting sponsor :D

We need season 2 inaccuracy 🙏

I cant wait for you to go over the Heracles story, the normal story was just fine in my eyes

21:09 Huh. I'm surprised you didn't mention there's NO FREAKING WAY anyone would believe that Eve could've made the same kind of GIANT BITE the serpent took from the apple.

18:58 Don't worry, Hades has Ichor for blood. It's still red tho...

I’ma be honest, I don’t care how inaccurate the series is, but I fucking love this show, I can’t wait for season 3

I love this show, it's so funny, my love of mythology is what found this show for me and while it is so inaccurate it makes you ask why, so many times, it is just so enjoyable because of how ridiculous it is.

There's actually an incident where Thor caught the World Serpent while fishing that happened LONG before Ragnarok even happened, so that quote by one of Odin's ravens is likely a nod to that. Credit to Record of Ragnarok for also remembering that Thor had red hair.

Apollo is also known as the God of Light, Sport, Poetry, Healing, Plagues, and etc. Hermes is in some context known as Zeus's Wingman

Couple comments just to point things out. Loki never actually calls Zeus “Grandpa”, that’s just an English translation error since he was using an honorific for elder which kind of got lost in translation. Next while Poseidon in the myths we know him in is a lot more chill, his epithet “Earthshaker” and a lot of the traces found about him from his depiction in Mycenaean Greece show him as a much colder and a much more terrifying deity that’s even believed to have been the head of the pantheon rather than Zeus which explains his depiction here at least somewhat.

The authors of record of ragnarok the guys who write the manga said on a post that can be found on the ragnarok subreddit they sometimes don’t have the gods use their famous abilities such as thors lightning not being used only for his hammer dueto the editor didn’t want him too overpowered such as the case with Poseidon not using water also they tend to follow the Traditional fight manga format like with Baki and Kengan but they are somewhat going past the format in the manga for future fights

I guess the Asgardians just exaggerated about the impenetrability of their wall. Also, you've got the calmest "Heracles" correction yet!

Idk why but I hate when people stop the vids but you make it good

I like how they put AOT season 1 in thor story

24:36 In both the manga and the Japanese dub, they call this event the Titanomachy. Only the English dub refers to it as the Gigantomachy. I'm not sure how true it is but I did hear that there was a myth that Thor killed Jormungandr outside Ragnarok. Although I'd have to find a source for that.

18:50 "Golden Ichor running through their veins" is now the official catchphrase of this channel

17:40 i agree but look at orphic zeus, its closer than you think, Orphic zeus eats a primordial diety like his father, gaining the ability to be absent from fate, in this you prolly heard charaters being able to mark their names off the book of the dead being imortal, but being absent from fate gives them the ability to do anything ever

You sounded so done with it 😂

This doesn't relate to the myths, but... Jonah Scott, who voices Adam here, plays him with an INCREDIBLE Clancy Brown impression, to the point I actually thought it was Brown voicing him. When Clancy Brown retires, Jonah Scott should succeed him in any role Brown had. Especially if another Lex Luthor role comes along, which that voice sounds like.

Honestly as much as I like your accuracy videos. Records of ragnarok is the definition of "its anime dont question it." It's like looking for historical in accuracies in the fate series. Which is literally built upon historical inaccuracies

Well in reality two things are different with the subtitled version, 1 Loki and a bunch of others call Zeus Gramps, not grandfather, or old man in Japanese I believe. 2 Hercules is referred to as Heracles but the subtitles and dub probably changed it to Hercules as that is the more used version. But, most importantly, what did you think of the show?

You have my respect for the accurate enough details about Hindu mythology.... ❤❤❤❤

23:32 the consensus in the fanbase I think is that the punch Zeus received from Chronos accelerated his ageing

Also Shiva doesn't have his long hair buns ( where ganga resides , ) the moon ( literally the crescent moon resides on his head to avoid death ), the poison on throat ( yeah he drank the most poisonous poison during samudra manthan) , the snake vasuki ( some say to hold poison some say basuki was great devotee and mount of Shiva but he never leaves Shiva until he dies ) . And when Shiva opens his third eye there should be a world ending fire , but it's absent here . We saw Shiva tears as water here but in myths the year of Shiva became either rudraksh a seed or a huge monster , also there are very few times Shiva actually appears with 4 hands , it's mostly two .

Doesn't necessarily have to be the next inaccuracy video but would be awesome if you did one on the Mummy movies, specifically the first two Brendan Frazer one's and the Tom Cruise one!

I've been waiting for someone to say this for so long😭😭😭

Honestly, even with the inaccuracies, i still enjoyed the anime quite a lot. Yes, its a bit cliche, weird and not very accurate, but still pretty fun. The character designs are interesting (to say the least) and the stories are, if not that good, at least semi entertaining. And of course, the premise itself is absolutely incredible. I am absolutely willing to excuse all of this for the confrontations of all these gods, concepts and cultures.

I like how he mentions the bifrost not being there. But reading the manga, you will know exactly why

Can't wait for part this take on season 2

Cant wait to see part 2 about shiva please mythologyguy part 2 plzzz 😢

If I recall correctly, in the original version (Japanese) the name is in fact Heracles so this error is not to put on the show but rather the english translation

In terms of Zeus looking like a frail old man I kind of assumed that since he wasn’t eaten by Kronos like his brothers his body didn’t stop aging unlike his brother due to Kronos time powers

Can't wait for part 2

Can't wait for season 2 vid
