The hype was real. For months, the Record of Ragnarok community was buzzing about what the triple-digit milestone would bring, and honestly, Record of Ragnarok Chapter 100 didn't just meet expectations—it completely flipped the script on how we view the Einherjar.
We finally got into the meat of Round 11. It’s Simo Häyhä vs. Loki. A fight we’ve been waiting for since Simo’s design was first revealed years ago. But this chapter, titled "Heimskringla" in some translations and "The Jester's Ring" in others, revealed a cost for human victory that we haven’t really seen since Adam.
The Brutal Reality of Simo’s Volundr
Forget the flashy sword techniques or the "unblockable" punches. Simo Häyhä is playing a much more dangerous game. In Record of Ragnarok Chapter 100, we learned that Simo’s sniper rifle isn't just a divine weapon; it’s a soul-binding pact of atonement.
The chapter shows Loki pulling out some absolute nonsense. Using a ring called Andvaranaut, Loki basically spawns an army of over 100 clones. We’re talking copies of Thor, Heracles, and even Odin. It’s a literal wall of gods charging through a forest toward Simo’s position.
Simo’s response? A single shot.
But it’s not "just" a shot. The bullet from his Mosin-Nagant travels faster than sound and then blooms into what the manga calls Divine Blooming of the Myriad Chaotic Flowers. It’s a bullet that shatters into countless petals of lead. It wiped out the entire clone army in one go, including a "heavy" Thor clone that Loki thought was invincible.
The Price of a Kill
Here’s the part that actually hurts to read. Simo doesn't just pull the trigger. Every time he fires a shot like that, he has to sacrifice an organ.
You read that right.
As he takes the shot, we see blood literally pouring from inside his mask. The narration makes it clear: Simo hated killing in life. To him, taking a life was an "unbearably painful" sin. In Ragnarok, his power is a reflection of that guilt. He inflicts physical agony on himself as "atonement" for every bullet he sends toward a god.
Basically, Simo is on a timer. He’s counting his shots—"1," he says after clearing the field—because he knows exactly how many organs he has left before he dies. Even his Valkyrie, Radgridr, is shown cracking under the strain. They are literally breaking apart to keep the gods at bay.
Loki Isn't Just a Prankster Anymore
For the longest time, Loki was just the creepy guy on the balcony making snide comments. In Record of Ragnarok Chapter 100, he finally got humbled, or at least startled.
Loki’s trickery is deep. He can copy and recreate anything he’s touched, but he’s limited to five "templates" at a time. Seeing Simo erase a hundred of those templates with one bullet actually shook him. We got a rare look into Loki's internal thoughts, and for the first time, he looked genuinely pissed off and maybe a little bit scared.
It’s interesting to see the VIP sections react to this. Even Buddha, who’s been hanging out with Brunhilde since Goll is down in Tartarus, seemed impressed by Simo’s resolve. Or maybe "perplexed" is the better word. Why would a human choose a power that kills them faster than the enemy does?
Why This Chapter Matters for the Scoreboard
Coming off the back of Round 10—which, let’s be honest, felt like it went on for a decade with Okita and Susano’o—Round 11 feels fast and lethal.
The score is sitting at 5-5. This is the tiebreaker.
The community is already theorizing that this might be the first official draw. If Simo has to keep sacrificing his body to hit Loki, there’s a very high chance he wins the match but dies seconds later. Or, they both take each other out in a final "one bullet, one heart" exchange.
Honestly, the stakes feel higher here because Simo feels so "human." He’s not a demi-god or a king with magical eyes. He’s a guy with a rifle who’s suffering for every win he gets.
What to Look for Next
If you’re caught up on Record of Ragnarok Chapter 100, the next few chapters are going to be a bloodbath. Simo is perched in the mountains, Loki is regrouping, and the "White Death" has officially started his count.
Keep an eye on:
- The organ count: How many more "bloom" shots can Simo actually fire?
- Loki’s true form: We’ve seen the clones, but we haven't seen Loki's personal combat style when he's backed into a corner.
- Brunhilde’s plan: She specifically chose Simo for Loki. She knew the price he’d pay. It makes you wonder just how cold-blooded she’s getting as the tournament nears the end.
This chapter changed the vibe of the series. It’s less about who is "stronger" and more about who is willing to lose more of themselves to stay standing.
Read the official translation on the Mangamo app if you haven't yet. The art by Ajichika in the "floral bullet" spread is genuinely some of the best work in the entire series to date. It’s beautiful, it’s tragic, and it’s exactly why we keep reading this crazy manga.
Check the latest release schedules on Monthly Comic Zenon to see when Chapter 101 drops—usually around the 25th of the month. You don't want to miss the fallout of Simo's first strike.
Actionable Next Steps
- Review Chapter 100 art spreads: Specifically look at the "Divine Blooming" sequence to see the hidden details of Radgridr’s cracks.
- Track the round score: With the series at 5-5, research the remaining fighters (like Anubis or Rasputin) to see how Round 11's outcome shifts the narrative pressure.
- Monitor Monthly Comic Zenon: New leaks usually surface 2-3 days before the 25th; keep an eye on community forums for early scanlation updates.
