Japan broadcast after Netflix premiere is interesting rollout—streaming globally first then airing domestically reverses typical release strategy. GLAY performing opening is major rock band get; the legendary J-rock group bringing "Dead or Alive" adds prestige. Six major players means multiple epic battles—featuring three gods and three humans promises extensive combat across the season. Nikola Tesla fighting gods is wild matchup; having the inventor/scientist face divine opponents creates fascinating contrast.

After its premiere this past December on Netflix, Record of Ragnarok will be making its broadcast debut in Japan on April 3! A new trailer and series of character visuals celebrate the upcoming TV debut.
