The third phase of the clash between humanity and the gods is just around the corner, as Record of Ragnarok season 3 is scheduled for release on December 10, 2025. The series is making a comeback on Netflix and will focus on a new set of clashes that will decide the fate of humanity against the decision of the gods, who are hellbent on eradicating them for good.

One detail that Record of Ragnarok fans have been wondering about is the episode count of the upcoming season. The previous seasons had an inconsistent episode count, which makes it hard for fans to predict how long Season 3 will be. Still, according to predictions, the upcoming season will have 13 episodes based around the bouts.

Record of Ragnarok Season 3 Episode Count: What to Expect

Although Netflix has revealed quite a few details about the upcoming season of Record of Ragnarok, including the release date, synopsis of season 3, and some interesting key visuals, it has yet to reveal the episode count.

The episode count not only determines how much screen time each battle will receive but also hints at whether the season will include additional story developments or surprises that further expand the narrative.

Season 1 of Record of Ragnarok, which came out in 2021, featured twelve episodes, with each battle getting divided into three installments. However, the second season, which was released in 2023, was divided into two parts. The first part featured ten episodes, and the second part featured an additional five episodes, bringing the episode count to fifteen.

The reason behind this is that it featured special developments that focused on the main reason why the clash was suggested in the first place. Considering the foreshadowing hinted at in the trailers of Record of Ragnarok season 3, it is safe to assume that the next season will focus even more on the secrets hidden in the story.

Thus, there is a possibility that season 3 of Record of Ragnarok will feature at least thirteen installments. The series will carry on its tradition of focusing on three episodes on each battle, and the additional ones will deliver the hidden mysteries behind Ragnarok.

The Upcoming Season Comes With a Special Twist for Fans

As mentioned above, Season 3 of Record of Ragnarok is expected to reveal more about the secrets of Ragnarok, which means Brunhilde will likely play an even bigger role. As the person guiding humanity’s fighters, her decisions and motives may become clearer, adding more depth to her character and the overall story. She was the one who suggested that the gods should give humanity a chance for survival, but in reality, it hides her own deeper reasons, which Season 3 may finally start to uncover.

This would be a major twist in the storyline, and it will confirm the speculations that Ragnarok is much bigger than just humanity’s fight for survival against the gods. Other significant characters, like Odin, who were also carrying ulterior motives (as hinted in season 2), will get more attention, thus helping the storyline explore the bigger power struggles and hidden agendas behind Ragnarok.

The story of Record of Ragnarok is much bigger than the battle between humanity and the gods. It’s high time the anime series starts focusing on the grand scheme of things, as this will not only make the story more exciting but also increase its popularity among anime fans. What do you think is the main reason behind Brunhilde organizing Ragnarok? Let us know below!
