Disclaimer: esto va a ser más para mi "yo del futuro" que como reseña.

Aqui vemos el final de la tercera pelea (ojala hubiera ganado Poseidón) y por fin gana la humanidad. Sinceramente es bastante gratificante el ver como celebra la audiencia y las reacciones por parte de los dioses que se encuentran en las gradas.

También se nos introducen a los siguientes luchadores: Jack el destripador y Hércules (en el spin-off de Jack se nos revela que en realidad el no es el verdadero Jack el destripador pero yo voy a hacer como que eso no ha pasado nunca, menuda mierda de decisión).

Los diseños una vez más son buenísimos y esto empezará a cambiar en la pelea de Buda la cual es una de las peores de toda la serie.

Este posiblemente sea uno de los mejores tomos de la serie y sin dudas es la mejor pelea de toda la saga. Esta pelea está llena de estrategia y el escenario es el mejor que hay (por lo menos no es una arena vacia y poco original como las demás).

El personaje de Hércules es un poco simplon y aburre bastante pero Jack lo compensa con creces.

I like the Record of Ragnarock, but the series has a major pacing problem that starts to become super apparent right around books 3-6. Wile each individual chapter is fun, the manner in which the fights are broken up across Manga Volumes leaves the story feeling disjointed. I would much rather see either a more tightly paced story that contains a fight to the number of pages in each volume, or see the manga volumes published at larger page counts so that each volume comprises one fight and the immediate aftermath (+the inevitable hype for the story that comes next). As they are now, fights sort of awkwardly straddle 2 volumes and it feels a bit disjointed getting dropped into a fight that builds builds builds and then having this extra chapter sort of tacked on the back because the story just has to keep going.

This was an interesting volume. The battle between Poseidon and Sasaki Kojiro is just getting started so I'm excited to see how it comes out.
