Darling! Do your best!

Lord Shiva, may luck go with you.

Lord Shiva can finish off that mortal with a single blow!

Daddy!

You can do it!

GANESHA SHIVA'S SON

I'm gonna destroy you!

Huh?

R-Ribbit.

Hold on here!

What is that?

Sorry! I'll disappear in a sec!

Salt?

Ribbit!

A sumo ceremony, huh?

Well, I guess it can't be helped.

All right, Raiden! The greatest in Japan!

That's the thing!

So manly!

Sorry I kept you waiting.

Yeah, no problem.

The Unrivaled Rikishi, huh? This just might be fun.

You think so?

Then…

let's rumble.

In the fifth bout, the first move of the greatest sumo wrestler in history

wasn't one of the 48 basic techniques.

He started with a dropkick!

HUNDRED SEALS

That's a hit!

Raiden jumped right in with a massive strike!

That human fighting Shiva is pretty bold.

Have you finished crying?

I wasn't…

crying!

That had some kick to it.

This was really worth the wait.

Is that all you got?

What the…

Raiden lands a powerful Russian hook!

Let's end this now!

Now, this is how a fight…

should be!

Damn…

I thought it was all over.

Me too.

Why you…

Man, you're pretty good!

I like it! Nice work!

What a pain in the ass!

R-Right from the start, it's a free-for-all back-and-forth!

Martial arts between mankind and the gods!

This is what Ragnarok is all about!

Sheesh! That darn Tarokichi!

He's off to a brash start as usual.

Isn't that right, Onogawa?

That's Raiden for you.

Love it!

Give me more! More!

Nice!

Let's dance until we die!

What's with everyone anyway?

Why the heck…

do they like this stuff?

Huh? You want to know why?

Is there anything as much fun as this?

I don't know anyone who doesn't like a good fight!

Is that right?

I hate to rain on your parade.

It's time to let loose.

The birth of something inhuman.

One day in January of 1767 in Shinano Province…

He's three years old but he still can't stand.

He should have stood at around one year old.

I'm not sure what to do.

Tarokichi…

I pray that you grow up healthy and strong.

We're home!

Tarokichi, you must be hungry.

I'll fix supper in…

Darling!

T-Tarokichi!

He's standing!

You did good, Tarokichi!

Mommy…

When Tarokichi stood up for the first time in his life…

T-Tarokichi!

...both his legs,

both his arms,

and his ribs broke.

It's not because his bones were weak.

His muscles were so powerful, they smashed his bones.

If nothing was done, his own muscles would crush him to death.

However…

what changed Tarokichi's fate was…

even more muscles.

Eventually, to restrain Tarokichi's muscles, his body…

produced new muscles and created what could be called a shell,

otherwise known as…

the Hundred Seals!

Huh?

RELEASE

Wh-What's that?

Oh, very intriguing! His muscles…

are rampaging!

R-Raiden's going to be crushed!

Aw man, are you going to just destroy yourself?

I-I'm counting on you,

Thrúd!

Is that…

That's right. That is…

what provides total control of his berserk muscles so they don't kill him!

The Völundr of Tameemon Raiden, the greatest sumo wrestler in history is…

the Supramuscular Exoskeletal Sumo Belt!

Supramuscular Exoskeletal Sumo Belt?

Raiden's muscles

developed at an abnormally fast pace.

Thanks to the Hundred Seals made of muscle that kept his mighty muscles in check,

he was barely able to keep his body under control.

Huh? Hold on a second!

You mean Raiden…

was the greatest sumo wrestler in history

even though his true power was held in check?

But now,

thanks to his Völundr, Raiden has been released from all those bonds.

In other words…

the man with…

the mightiest muscles in the history of mankind is now…

for the first time in his life…

able to fight with all his strength.

At last, you're all behaving nicely, you naughty muscles.

So this is what full throttle feels like.

HUNDRED SEALS UNLEASHED

Well, I ought to tell you…

Don't break on me.

Huh?

Now you've said it, mortal!

Even I don't know what'll happen

when I use this with all my strength!

KIKU-ICHIMONJI

H-He blew him away!

Full-throttle Raiden blew away the Indian god of destruction!

I'm…

I'm completely overwhelmed with emotion!

At last, I can watch with my own eyes how Raiden fights

unleashed from all his bonds!

I wholeheartedly agree.

Raiden's power is untouchable.

The sumo ring was too small for Tameemon Raiden.

That's for sure.

Crush him, Raiden!

Awesome! This is awesome!

He's not just an overeating, over-sexed pervert after all!

That's right.

We can win! We can win this!

At last, mankind will be in the lead!

My goodness. I hope this turns out okay.

This is bad! He's staggering!

He seems to have sustained heavy damage.

Sorry, pal.

But I'm ending this.

DAKIJIZO

Son of a bitch.

You came at me yourself!

That sure smarts.

But…

My head's as stone-hard as yours.

Now it's my turn.

Here I come!

Take that! And that!

You think with all those arms, your pea-shooter punches will hurt Raiden?

Those sure don't look like pea-shooter punches to me.

Nope. With that power, it's more like

every single punch is a cannon!

Take that! And that!

Take that! And that!

Raiden!

Hang in there, Raiden!

Sheesh. You really are a big pain.

L-Let go!

I'm not letting go.

Midarebotan.

That was pretty stupid.

I could've ripped it right off.

Oh my!

Impossible…

Th-This is unbelievable!

The wrecker of the gods

has been wrecked by the mortal Tameemon Raiden!

Th-That's the power of the strongest muscles in mankind!

Naturally, just his muscles alone wouldn't be that destructive.

Thanks to the Völundr,

now Raiden has full control over his once-uncontrollable muscles.

In other words,

by focusing all his muscular strength into his arms,

he was able to instantly crush Shiva's arm.

This is pretty darn awesome.

H-His muscles are moving back into place.

Talk about full control…

From here on, we'll witness a display of Raiden's true might

that no one, not even Raiden himself, has ever witnessed before.

Thrúd, the third of the Valkyries,

the power dwelling in her name is…

THE THIRD OF THE VALKYRIES THRÚD = MIGHTY ONE

Nice! Now that's the Unrivaled Rikishi Raiden for you!

Yes! I'm lovin' it! He's a real superstar!

The gods trembled, fearing that the worst would happen.

But the opinion of the Indian gods who knew Shiva was different.

There's no way that Shiva would let that guy beat him.

You can say that again!

After all, his fists are imbued with the 1,116 souls of the Indian gods!

Shiva! Knock him out of the park!

You are the ultimate of our gods!

I can feel it on my back.

I always can.

They're all out there gazing directly at me.

Shiva had never even once…

GOD OF DESTRUCTION SHIVA

...let his friends down!

Sheesh.

Guess I've got no choice.

-Shiva! -Shiva!

-Shiva! -Shiva!

-Shiva! -Shiva!

-Shiva! -Shiva!

I'm fighting for their sakes as well.

So, sorry pal,

but I'm gonna have to crush you!

Wh-What was with that massive swing?

With one arm crushed, he's lost control of his balance.

But that means…

You're leaving yourself wide open.

Take that!

His fist has gotten even heavier.

How do you like that? Pretty heavy fist, huh?

Shiva's fists are imbued with the weight of all 1,116 of us!

Take that!

Take that!

It's been thousands of years…

since I got this fired up.

This reminds me of those times.

Remember them…

Rudra?
