Primordial Odin, also known simply as Odin, is one of the four overarching antagonists (alongise the other Yggdrasil) of the manga/anime series Record of Ragnarok.
Primordial Odin is one of the original 88 Primordial Gods, as well as the Leader of Yggdrasil, the four strongest Primordial Gods of all, who attempted to exterminate the Gods, but were met with resistance from many Primordial Gods. Reviving Primordial Odin and the other three Yggdrasil is the ultimate goal of Odin.
Appearance[]
Similar to his other incarnation, Primordial Odin is an old man with long hair and a beard. He has golden eyes with black sclera for his right eye and black eyes with white sclera for his left eye, and he lacks the eyepatch over his left eye. He wore dark armor adorned with light robes underneath and a light cloak.
Personality[]
Primordial Odin is a cold and ruthless God, who chose to slaughter the other Gods he deemed superfluous since they had multiplied beyond the original 88 Primordial Gods, and to carry out his plan he did not hesitate to fight the Primordial Gods who opposed him and the other Yggdrasil. Primordial Odin is also capable of reasoning rationally in the worst situations, having immediately found a countermove to the seal of the Primordial Gods.
Biography[]
Primordial Odin is a Primordial God, as well as the Leader of Yggdrasil, the four most powerful Primordial Gods that include Odin, Satan, Chaos and Ymir, and one of the original 88 Primordial Gods born from the "chaos of the beginning" and who spawned the other Gods. However, one day the Yggdrasil determine that the Gods have become superfluous and decide to exterminate them: 7 Primordial Gods side with them, while the other 77 oppose the decision, and this triggers a war between Primordial Gods, the original Ragnarok.
However, the Yggdrasil prove to be too powerful and manage to defeat the rebel Primordial Gods without any problems, which pushes the rebel Primordial Gods, including Izanagi, to use a seal called Gleipnir - Weave of Sealed Gods, with which they trap the Yggdrasil and the other Primordial Gods who supported them for eternity. However, shortly before being sealed forever, Primordial Odin and the other three Yggdrasil manage to spread their relics throughout the world, which for Primordial Odin is equivalent to his sword Gram, so that thanks to them they can one day resurrect.
Some time later, the sword Gram is found by a Nameless God who is curious about the legend of the Primordial Gods, and this allows Primordial Odin to take possession of the aforementioned God, transforming him into the King of the Norse Pantheon Odin. From that moment, Odin's ultimate goal becomes to bring the Primordial Gods back to life, and to do so he finds the other three relics of Yggdrasil and plans to sacrifice the Primordial Vessel, someone capable of holding the four relics within himself without dying, namely Siegfried, and the Water of Life, obtainable by exterminating Humanity. To this end, he imprisons Siegfried in Tartarus by forcing Michel Nostradamus to keep him alive, and convinces the Gods' Council to exterminate Humanity, although Brunhilde, aware of his plans, organizes the Ragnarok Tournament to stop him.
Powers and Abilities[]
Overall Abilities: As a Primordial God as well as the Leader of Yggdrasil, Primordial Odin is one of the most powerful Gods in the entire Universe. He possesses physical abilities far superior to those of any ordinary Human. His body cannot be damaged by mortal weapons, however it can still be damaged by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and Divine Weapons. For the same reason, Primordial Odin is unable to die due to old age. Primordial Odin and the other three Yggdrasil are so powerful that the 77 rebel Primordial Gods could not get the better of them and had to seal them away forever.
Power of Creation: As a Primordial God, Primordial Odin has the power to create anything he wants, be it objects or other Deities. In fact, it was Primordial Odin who created, together with the other Primordial Gods, the Gods.
Sword Expertise: Primordial Odin's primary weapon is the sword Gram, and he is very skilled in using it, being able to kill or severely injure his opponents with a simple sword swing.
Trivia[]
- This Odin is essentially another version of the Odin from Norse Mythology, just like the Odin from the manga/anime series Record of Ragnarok.
