It has sold over 18 million copies in total. The manga creators have shared an exclusive illustration to celebrate the upcoming Season 3 release, along with the teaser:
Umemura expressed his gratitude for Season 3, saying, “I’m so grateful that the third season of the anime is being produced. This is all thanks to everyone’s support — thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can’t wait to see how that one move by Nikola Tesla appears on screen! I hope everyone will continue to watch Record of Ragnarok!”
Fukui adds, “Much time has passed since the explosive ending to the second season. Thanks to the support of our fans, the third season is finally here! How will that fiery battle we depicted in the comic be recreated? How will certain moves and scenes come to life on screen? Plus, familiar characters will cross paths again. I can't wait for everyone to see the continuation of the battle between gods and humanity!”
The second season, released in January 2023, surpassed first season numbers, reaching the weekly Top 10 (Non-English series) in 84 countries and claiming the No. 1 spot in the Daily TV Series Top 10 in 17 countries.
