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.

Bukan yang terbaik dari segi story, tapi Art-nya sangat bagus. Di volume 4 ini kita hanya dihadapkan pada pertarungan Sasaki dan Poseidon, bahkan masih akan bersambung ke volume berikutnya.

Pembaca diperlihatkan Poseidon sebagai karakter yang kejam serta merasa bahwa dirinya adalah makhluk yang sempurna. Sementara Sasaki digambarkan sebagai tokoh yang giat belajar dari kekalahannya dimasa lampau.

Untuk kali ini aku kecewa pada latar belakang tiap karakter, menurutku author terlalu berlebihan hanya untuk membuat Poseidon tampak sebagai dewa yang kejam dengan membuat "fiksi baru" tentang pembunuhan Adamas. (Sebegitu banyaknya kiprah Poseidon dalam mitologi Yunani apakah tak ada yang bisa dikembangkan di plot Record of Ragnarok?)

Siapa Adamas? Dewa ini tidak pernah disebutkan dalam Mitologi Yunani, sepengatahuanku. Kalaupun 13 Dewa Olimpia berkurang itupun seharusnya diberikan pada Hades bukan? Penguasa Dunia Bawah?

Kemudian karater Sasaki Kojiro sebenarnya menarik, tapi entah kenapa aku merasa kalau karakternya lebih banyak mendapatkan sorotan ketimbang dua wakil manusia sebelumnya.

Aku memuji Record of Ragnarok volume 4 ini hanya karena Art yang sangat gila. Pertarungan antar Poseidon dan Sasaki pun tampak sangat bagus karena penggambaran situasi yang tepat, senjatanya juga terasa indah, benar-benar battle yang memukau.

Bintang 4,4

Not extraordinary but it was pretty good overall. The entirety of the book is dedicated to the fight between Sasaki and Poseidon. Actually, we learn more of these men thanks to flashbacks. Poseidon is cruel and never lost a fight and sees himself as a perfect being. On the other hand, Sasaki fought a lot of famous swordsmen including Miyamoto Musashi and he lost every single fight. Both Sasaki's power and backstory are super interesting in my opinion. I am really hyped about the "actual" fight and really rooting for Sasaki to win this one.
