RIP Heracles. He fought bravely and his spirit never gave up till the very end. Seeing everyone's reaction to his death hit hard, especially Brunhilde's one, Sawashiro nailed that part.
I'm surprised they moved the Buddha part to the aftermath of fight 4 instead of where it is supposed to take place, but I think it is a good idea, as this way it won't break the flow of the next fight.

damm when you cant even be happy when the side your rooting for wins. The part where brunhilde makes a small shrine for him and teared up really hit the hardest😭.

Still really great fight.

When Hercules said " I still love humans" and died, that literally made me cry 😢😢. After a long time an anime scene made me cry

Oh... ohh... Herc... HERCULES!!! NOOO!!!

BOI, I KNEW IT! I WANTED TO BE WRONG. I WANTED MY INTUITION TO BE WRONG FOR ONCE. BUT HERCULES GOT SLAIN BY JACK. F*** THIS ANIME!!

*breathe* I'm calm. I know. It was Hercules who won the fight.

Still, I couldn't hate that ending. When Hercules embraced Jack before death took him, I thought that was really beautiful. Jack might've been saved by Herc at that moment. I truly respect Hercules and I'm glad that someone like Jack was able to feel sadness... like a human. Even for a scum like Jack, there was someone - a god - who loved him. And that really touched my heart. We humans are fools, undeserving, but there is a real God irl who died to save us. I truly believe that.

When people threw stones at Jack, I got really mad at them. That was so disrespectful to Herc. And I didn't want Jack to get hurt even more. Enough is enough.


Anyway! YES!! I knew it was Okita Soji! Not too fond of Tsubasa's voice lately but I like Soji! Oh man, I love that sky-colored haori! Time to take the lead, humans! :D

Fight is about to break out lmao. Loki is such a troublemaker. I didn't expect him to be that lame. Buddha looked cool on the other hand. Hope we would get to learn the truth why the humans could fight against gods other than with the power of Valkyries.

No way, Hercules lost. :( But he was faithful to his ideals to the very end. I say he has become an entity above humans and deities.

Oh, and shortly after, another conflict has arose, eh? Are we going to see team vs. team fight, but this time an unofficial one?

I heard the hype about this fight, I just didn’t expect it to slap THIS HARD!!! My only issue is that the CGI was a little spotty at times, but overall, this fight was peak. Really looking forward to Raiden vs Shiva!

With the Jack the Ripper vs Herkures, either way, humanity would won. This trully was epic duel. Hard salute to Herkules o7

Was glad Hlokk survived that was very, very VERY huge relief <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 And once again we see Brunhilde, despite unimaginable psychical pain and grief (goddamned Miyuki! stop doing that to me! it was like another Thunders over Nagazora... 😭😭😭), she acking though cos for sake of humanity she have to. Those two deserve all the hugs in the world Q_Q

Oya, oya, what we have and the end? unofficial second tourmanent? Budda probably doesn't needed help, but with Kojiro and two legendary heavyhitters from Shinsengumi - Kondo and Okita, brawl will be epic.

"The human race is as foolish as it is valuable."
This combat has been between a cold human being without feelings and a demigod with feelings as strong and warm as fire.
Hercules gave Jack some warmth in that last hug
I really liked the combat.

The CGI has been very good.

Jack's cunning won him the match.  That and his vollander.  

I can't get over Ares calling Hercules his best friend. Soooo Zeus can't go to the Elysian Fields and bring his son back?

I should've known the Shinsengumi would make a show. Didn'tthe rules tell them to stay in the room?

Buddah is sexy af. <----- A sentence never uttered by anyone ever.

I can't accept the fact that Hercules lost... he did lose his match with Jack but I'm sure even Jack knew that the real winner was Hercules :") 

I completely forgot that Buddha was a traitor (helping the Valkyries)... but is he really a traitor? I seem to have forgotten a lot of things from the previous season...

Im confused..? If Hercules loved human, why did he fight with gods? Especially when he made the deal with gods not to harm humans, why was he not mad and protested???

Jack won, but lost the battle of hearts! I liked it more in the original but this wasnt bad either.

Kojiro continues to be an absolute Gigachad even after his round is over. Nobody wants to start shit with the guy who decimated Poseidon.

Buddhas entrence into the story was certainly nailed. The timing is different in the manga but hey atleast we could enjoy the full fight this way.

I once again recommend you to read Jacks spinoff manga "Jack the Ripper case files", there are only 3 chapters by now but it gives a lot of context to Jack beeing "human malice" and its also good.

PS: Kinda weird that the side banter has better animation (2d) than the actual fights (CGI)..

I like the idea of not following the rigid structure they've laid out of Ragnarok fight after Ragnarok fight and other fights breaking out between matches as we see at the end.

The hardest conclusion to a fight, even Brunhilde couldn't hold back the tears.

Hercules may have lost the physical fight but he certainly won everyone's hearts even someone like Jack who had never seen genuine love before.

Poor Hercules... Mind always win... Especially when Hercules aren't 'smart'.
It's annoying seeing those gods/angels throwing rocks towards Jack... Hope Jack survive and making an appearance again later like Kojiro just did in this episode.

Okita Souji? I have a feeling that he will win the fight during his match on the other season...

Kinda feel sorry for Jack ngl. Imagine having an ability like that only seeing the worst in people and then the only person who you thought loved you ended up despising and hating you for something that wasn't even your fault. Honestly, it's no wonder who grew up sadistic and evil! ,,London bridge is broken down, broken down... my fair lady,,

Finally there's someone who felt sorry for Jack. Despite his reason, he fought for humanity and WON using his brain, and how humanity treated him after that? By booing him and throwing him rock wishing him dead instead, really felt sorry for him.

I dunno, there was something about him that made him catch my attention in the very beginning, and that's why he's my favorite, I was waiting for the second season so much to see the legendary fight. But I'm sad because of how people treat him after the match... I know it's a mass murderer, but he put his life to save us.

It was tough seeing Hercules go, he was really a god among men. Jack The Ripper gave humanity a much need win to tie things up at 2-2 despite not winning the hearts of the crowd.

I cried at the end just like everyone else not just for Hercules, but for Jack The Ripper who wanted to be loved.  

Jack The Ripper and Hercules English VA's were really good.

Well, there goes my luck...

Seems like even Hercules can't save Jack...

2 consecutive wins for god then 2 consecutive wins for human, high chance next winner will be from the god team..if human team win again that would be 3 consecutive wins which would be entertaining as that would piss the gods even more.....

Hercules' death was expected but even so that's still anticlimactic af. But you know what I think that's for the best. That's one more win and getting humans closer to not being extinct, Jack the Ripper's innocent Valkyrie gets to survive, and most importantly, this is what Hercules would have wanted I think.

Finally, other gods.
