#master of ragnarok and blesser of einherjar

[somewhere-in-a-microwave]

Does anybody have any ideas on how they could rewrite/revamp MORBOE? (Master of Ragnarok and Blesser of Einherjar)

Like any redesigns, rewrites and anything, please contact here.

Have you ever heard of "Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar"? It has bad "animation"(if you could even call it that), bad plot, a harem, time skips, awful battles, and worldbuilding that makes no sense! It's twelve episodes long and has both a sub and dub on Crunchyroll.

(Also yes, hi, same person who asked about "Mr Villains Day Off", and "Elegant Yokai Apartment Life" here! Sorry for bombarding your ask in-box, i'll stop for now, until I have more suggestions (maybe))

I don't know if I've heard of that one but i may just file all anime with "Ragnarok" in the under the same tab in my brain

Also it's all good! Suggestions are always welcome!

Sigyn, Witch of Midgardr and the wife of Loptr.

I'm admittedly not a fan of "The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar" and their depiction of Sigyn like:

Her relationship with Loki being painted as toxic or a one sided relationship.

Her manipulating and trying to seduce Loptr for attention. (Not that being seductive is a negative thing!)

Her design, mostly outfit as a whole. It's just too revealing!!

I thought it would be fun to do my own little spin on her! Writing and design wise, so here's how i re-wrote her character, but I'm still sticking with most of her given lore!! :)

!Spoilers ahead for some actual lore, not all was made up by me!

"Sigyn, is one of three powerful witches in the world, known in her region of the world as the Witch of Midgardr. Sigyn was the former founder of the Midgardr tribe also known as the Panther clan, until her marriage to Loptr who she now shares that title with. She's a calm and gentle woman, who takes her role as a leader together with Loptr very seriously.

She's very skilled in magic and through her Inchanting dances casts spells on anyone she targets! Which is probably how she caught Loptr's eye, but it was actual true love. Together they have at least one known son to the public named Narvi, who helps them spy and gain information from any rival clans. Any siblings could be possible, just unknown."

This is most definitely a one time thing, so feel free to take these ideas, since I'm not really into the anime where her character originates from, fun none the less! :)

Now about the changes to her design!

I kept most of her color scheme and tried to stay true to her original design. Small details like moles and tattoos. But I made her hair a darker shade and I also added freckles!

I tried to make her hair more curly or what I can do to make it look anything but straight to give some representation since she looks like a person of color!

I'm aware I made her a look a little more chubby than she actually is, because she's actually very skinny. That wasn't intentional but ngl it's kinda cute! It can be her later in life even 😼✨

My biggest commission to date! Took 29 hours total. Done as a Christmas gift for the commissioner's friend. All the characters are from animes they've watched together.

This anime was practically something I’ve been looking for for a couple of years now.

Have you ever seen two teens any more over their heads than these two teens abandoning their families and friends to marry each other and elope to the fucking Norse-mythology flavored BRONZE AGE and adapt to life in constant warfare without electricity or health care.

Well. This is the finale of The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar... Sigyn thanos snaps Yuuto back to this own world and then he quickly decides he needs to go back to his helpless harem because it was bad timing, and he brings his girlfriend turned wife with him so it’s uhh... it’s the uh. The Good End. 

It’s folly to criticize a story for the elements it doesn’t have, but I like the idea of a fantasy story pivoting into a more mundane story (like Alice & Zoroku) where we see someone cope with living a normal life after having lived such a dangerous and fantastical one -- but I don’t think Ragnarok could have ever remotely succeeded in that way because it didn’t go from a dangerous and fantastical life to a mundane one, it went from a ridiculous and offensive magical harem, and I don’t think that could have been reconciled. It’s kind of like regardless of where the story went, it would be bad, because it’s a terrible concept with terrible execution throughout...

So never mind the inevitably boring ending possibilities, because nothing that could have happened would have made up for: 

First and foremost, rampant p-dophilia throughout. Yikes. 

Being yet another rancid entry into the tragically growing list of recent isekai titles that have, specifically!, underage slaves in the harem  

The obviously fetishistic and vile inc*st elements

The designs... character designs, clothing designs... bad. 

Just being an ecchi, period. The inherent misogyny of that really does render a series unsalvageable for anyone with brain cells!

All of the women/girls in the series, despite almost all of them being warriors, were either wildly under-used (Sigyn) or inexplicably useless (everyone else, save for Siegrune but even then she was pathetically obsessed with Yuuto)

That episode where the archaeologist lady proposed that Yuuto is Fenrir and he’s living in Norse Mythology World and made comparisons from Norse Myths to the characters for a good 5 minutes straight

ONE (1) CAMEL defeating an entire army because the smell of ONE CAMEL made the hundreds, maybe thousands, of horses turn tail and run

And probably many more things I’m not remembering off the top of my head. So the final verdict is that - despite Scarfior and Sigyn who deserve to be in better anime - this series is badly written, badly animated, badly designed, and just plainly disgusting. It’s barely deserving of the 2/10, just for being a smidge less awful than Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody.

I like you :]

*fixes your Loki and Sigyn from The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar*

Ps: I'm obviously joking here!! I thought it would be fun to redesign these two slightly because 1. Sigyns clothes i- 😃 no.

I am not proud of what I gave as sigyns outfit wise but I am proud with the small details I added!

I gave her more lips and a better shade, small freckles to match the mole on her chest and took away her weird ponytail. I also fixed her necklace!

Idk why I gave Loki eyes through his mask uhh, but he's slightly tan and a little sunburnt! because he's white..

I have these struggles too 👁👄👁

Be grateful your wife has mercifully let you rule her clan and has saved your ass, presumably numerous times

We... I don’t know why I say “we” when I know I’m the only person on earth who cares about this even remotely, but listen. I need to talk about how powerful Sigyn is. 

The magic in whatever world Yuuto is in is usually pretty benign. Steinphor has increased physical abilities. The twin girls have good hearing and increased stealth abilities. One girl just has a magic rune that gives her good blacksmith abilities. Loptr is... uhm. He’s just literate, really. 

Later on we’re told there’s a few extremely powerful magic users. One of them is a famous princess who visits Yuuto for whatever reason and is good at some kinds magic, but piss poor at other kinds. I really don’t care about her at all because she doesn’t really do anything or show us much magic. Sure she’s able to transport Yuuto from the modern world, but she apparently needs the Special Magic Mirror to do it, I Think.

Then there’s Sigyn...

In the first battle against the Wolf Clan, Yuuto creates a barricade with iron-plated wagons around his main camp that in combination with crossbow fire, is giving the Panther Clan a lot of grief... until Sigyn uses a magical chant that not just re-invigorates the tired and injured soldiers, but makes them into “berserkers”. They seemingly go mad and just rush the wagons and push them out of the way or climb over them, ignoring the attacks of Yuuto’s soldiers. Let’s See You Google A Solution To Magical Zombie Warfare Tactics...

That battle ridiculously ends with a win for Yuuto by use of... one camel... which drove away hundreds of horses because they don’t like the smell... which is already unbelievably contrived, but what about all the berserker soldiers still there... my point is OP wrote himself into a corner because he made Sigyn too powerful and the only “solution” to the fight was something stupid. 

In the next and final battle of the series though, Sigyn reveals much more powerful magic. First she uses a magical chant that paralyzes all of the soldiers defending Yuuto’s position, so that Loptr can just rush through them and go straight for Yuuto’s jugular. Which is bonkers. If the story actually utilized her magic in a way that made sense, that would be some war ending shit - you don’t even have to make your soldiers into berserkers, you just immobilize swaths of the enemy’s army and pick them off. Imagine if she rotated those spells. What would a barricade of iron-plated wagons be worth then... Lord. 

As if those 2 spells alone weren’t enough to win pretty much any war against a completely non-magical opponent like The Wolf Clan in any series that isn’t a garbage ecchi harem, it is then revealed that she is so powerful that she can... blip Yuuto back out of existence?

When Loptr gets to Yuuto they get in a sword fight. Loptr loses (okay) and when Sigyn sees that he lost the bout, she uses her magic to send Yuuto back to the modern world. Oh, the thing Yuuto has been trying to figure out how to do for years? Sigyn just decided the fight was getting too dangerous to her snusband, and snapped her fingers and ERASED HIM. 

To review. This brown lady named Sigyn who we barely know anything about and who has barely any screen time or spoken lines can: 

“Revive” injured and tired soldiers, and then make them into fearless berserkers

Immobilize large swaths of soldiers, rendering them pretty much completely defenseless for an undefined portion of time

Forcibly send enemy generals to other dimensions

How is Sigyn not a huge deal in this story “because it’s a very bad story and a very bad anime” I Know But Oh My G

One good thing to come out of the cheap-ass pandering to the lowest common denominator, that isekai represents, is that I no longer waste time on terrible shows that have really good art and comedy chops, like OniAi. Which is godawful, story-wise, but the acting and art are so topnotch that you genuinely feel you’re missing out on something when you decide not to waste time on a fundamentally stupid series. (To OniAi’s credit, the brother’s actually adopted. Unlike in OreImo. Or Irregular at Magic High School.)

E.g., this. Look at the animation, the voice acting, the timing, of what is actually really contrived ecchi-comedy bullshit, but not quite over-the-top enough for the contrivedness to itself be part of the joke. Listen to the way Akiko starts bellowing incoherently! Look at the way she’s animated as she’s freaking out! (The “sex toy” line is actually a bad translation. Anastasia keeps asking Akito to call her Ana, then making a lame joke about ana being the Japanese word for “hole”—including, like in English, “crude word for orifice”. It does kinda work, though, because the actual gag is that she looks and talks like that, and then makes filthy, incredibly lazy puns.)

Now, though, they just slap together bad comedians’ C material and art that would be shameful in a middle-school manga club’s dōjin, with animation a half step up from a “we animated a bit from Game Grumps” video. And really pathetic people will watch it because of the vicarious power fantasy. There are enough of those that it’s fiscally sound. (There are plenty of such people in any society, the Japanese ones just happen to have an unusually specific set of tastes.)

Which is terrible from a “maybe do good work” perspective, but wonderful from a “this will be bad, don’t let pretty art or good acting fool you” one. “We realized the fans of bad things have no taste, so why put in any effort?”
