The epic showdowns in Record of Ragnarok have kept anime fans hooked since the wild twists of Season 2 wrapped up back in 2023. That intense 3-3 deadlock between gods and humans—featuring underdogs like Buddha flipping sides and Jack the Ripper outsmarting Heracles—left everyone craving the next chapter. Now, with buzz building across forums and social media, the burning question pops up: Will Record of Ragnarok Season 3 drop on Netflix this December 2025? Short answer: Absolutely, and the countdown’s on for a release that’s got the community fired up.
Dive into this roundup covering the locked-in premiere date, fresh trailer breakdowns, cast returns and additions, plot hints without major spoilers, and what makes this season a must-watch. Perfect for newcomers catching up or die-hards theorizing the outcomes, this covers all the deets on Record of Ragnarok Season 3.
A Quick Refresh: What Happened at the End of Season 2?
Record of Ragnarok, known as Shuumatsu no Valkyrie in Japan, spins a tale where gods vote to wipe out humanity after millennia of chaos. Valkyrie leader Brunhilde steps in with a bold plan: a 13-round tournament pitting 13 legendary humans against 13 deities in brutal one-on-one fights. Humans snag seven wins, they survive another thousand years. Otherwise, game over.
Season 1 kicked things off with massive clashes like Lu Bu versus Thor and Adam challenging Zeus, leaving humans down 1-2. Season 2 flipped the script with Sasaki Kojiro besting Poseidon, Jack the Ripper’s clever win over Heracles, and Buddha’s game-changing switch to Team Humanity, knotting it at 3-3. The arena’s still buzzing from those final moments, setting the stage for even higher-stakes drama. If those history-meets-myth battles got hearts racing, Season 3 looks set to amp it all up.
Confirmed Premiere: December 10, 2025, Hits Netflix
After a solid two-year gap that had folks combing through every anime con reveal and online leak, Netflix finally confirmed it: Record of Ragnarok Season 3 lands exclusively on the service December 10, 2025. No vague windows here—this date came straight from official announcements at spots like Anime Expo and via trailers.
The news rolled out gradually this year. A teaser hit in July, locking in a December window. Then, on November 10, the third trailer dropped with the exact date, tying into Netflix’s holiday anime push. With just under two weeks left as of late November, excitement’s peaking. Look for a binge drop, possibly all episodes at once or in parts like Season 2 (first batch in January 2023, rest in July). Episodes run about 25 minutes, likely 10-15 total, making it ideal for a weekend dive.
