Record of Ragnarok Season 4: Will It Happen? Renewal Status, Release Window, and What to Expect
Record of Ragnarok’s Season 3 went out swinging, and fans want Season 4 now—but with Netflix still silent, the manga may be the only clue to the next bout of gods vs. legends.
Spoiler alert: This one dips into some Record of Ragnarok manga details. Proceed accordingly.
Season 3 wrapped, everyone hit the big cliffhanger, and now the obvious question: are we getting Season 4? Short answer: nothing official yet. Longer answer: all signs say yes, even if we have to sit on our hands for a while.
So... is Season 4 happening?
No renewal from Netflix at the moment. That is not unusual. Netflix tends to let a new season breathe before making a call, and Season 3 just landed.
The bigger picture looks promising. The anime adapts the manga by Shinya Umemura and Takumi Fukui, and there is a lot of material still to animate. The story is nowhere near its final arc, the audience is growing, and Netflix historically likes a hit anime. Put all that together and Season 4 feels less like an if and more like a when.
The rub is timing. The gaps have been long: about 19 months between Season 1 and 2, then almost 29 months before Season 3. If that pattern holds, Season 4 probably does not arrive until 2027. Lame, yes, but the upcoming matchups are huge, and the animation team will want time to do them justice. The sooner Netflix says go, the sooner that clock officially starts.
Where Season 3 left the scoreboard
After nine rounds, the gods are barely ahead, 5-4. On the gods' side: Thor took out Lu Bu, Zeus defeated Adam, and Apollo edged King Leonidas. Humanity answered with Kojiro Sasaki, Jack the Ripper, Buddha, and Qin Shi Huang putting up wins. Nikola Tesla rolled in with science and swagger, but Beelzebub put him down, tightening the whole thing up again. The tournament is absolutely still in play — and no, Netflix is not skipping the rest.
What Season 4 would likely cover
If Season 4 picks up with Round 10, the next stretch is stacked. Expect Soji Okita, humanity's lethal swordsman, squaring off with Susanoo, the thunderous 'Sword God' — a pure blade-on-blade showcase begging for ridiculous animation. Round 11 shifts to long-range insanity with Simo Hayha vs. Loki, a sniper vs. trickster matchup that is a wild tone change. Round 12 lines up Sakata Kintoki, folk-hero demon-slayer, against the big one: Odin. If that lineup does not scream more anime, nothing does.
What the anime has covered so far
- Season 1 (2021): Lu Bu vs Thor; Adam vs Zeus; Kojiro Sasaki vs Poseidon
- Season 2 Part 1 (2023): Jack the Ripper vs Hercules (first half); Raiden vs Shiva
- Season 2 Part 2 (2023): Jack vs Hercules (finale); Buddha vs Zerofuku
- Season 3 (2025): Qin Shi Huang vs Hades; Nikola Tesla vs Beelzebub; Apollo vs Leonidas
- Season 4 (unannounced): Expected — Soji Okita vs Susanoo; Simo Hayha vs Loki; Sakata Kintoki vs Odin
Bottom line: the series leaves us at 5-4 with massive fights still ahead. It feels inevitable that Season 4 happens — we are just waiting on Netflix to say the word. Until then, Record of Ragnarok is streaming on Netflix if you want to relive the carnage (or keep arguing about the score in group chats).
